About Broadway Plays And Players


Jew YORK. Nov. is.-Ths theater
N managers. or most OF them, have
discovered that It isn't a good
plan 20 have special matiness On
holidays which are not observed by
the closing Of all places OF business

special Armistice day matinees and
most OF these were poorly attended
In these days OF equity regulation Il
costs one-eiEhth OF a weeks expense
70 put on an extra matinee. unless
some other performance IS omitted.
and where the holiday isn't generally
recognized the extra matinee Is apt 20

country at this time seems 10 be

Moeller puts it, to relieve their bore
dom by seeking eternal beauties made
the nucleus for the Washington
Square Players. They had enthusiasm,
they had high dramatic ideals-and,
by cooperative effort, they had nearly
500. 1t was this last fact that led
the Washington Square Players, in
high hopes, to the Bandbox Theater in
t'ifty-seventh Street, where they re-
manned for two years. For their first
performances they charged such out
rageous prices as so cents for an
orchestra seat, and even later their
prices remained far below the standard
set by Broadway theaters. All this
time the enthusiasm and the idealism
Of the supporters of this movement
had not waned, but there was still tho
question of money.
In order to carry out as independ-
mt a program as they had set for
themselves, it was apparent to all Of
them that they must have sufficient
be a commercial failure though an
artistic success. Broadway production
was the answer to the questioning that
they put to themselves. and in 1915
they left the Bandbox Theater and re-
moved their small store of properties
and their large store of enthusiasm
to the Comedy Theater. At, this
theater, as at the Bandbox, the Wash
ington Square Players remained two
years, a period when the efforts Of the
little group Of pioneers bore fruit in
the gradual winning of supporters to
this new movement in the American
theater Unfortunately, when four
years work had done vast amount %
education, there came our entry in the
wsr and the career Of the Washington
Square Players broke or abruptly. For

Theater Guild, Now a Year Old,
Had an Interesting Genesis
And an Uphill Fig int to Win

m HE Theater Guild, which on
" Wednesday last celebrated it's
first anniversary as producing organ
ization with birthday luncheon at the
Cosmopolitan Club, had It's genesis, ac-
cording to Philip Moeller, the author of
"Moliere" and "Sophe," in an evening
of boredom in 1913, when an inspiration
came to one of the members Of the
little group in Albert Boni's book shop,
in Greenwich Village.
Lets give a play" suggested this
person. 1t was suggestion made half
in earnest, half in the jesting hope
that something might relieve the gloom
that had settled over the group.
"Albert Boni's book shop was in the
front of back parlor," related Mr..
Moeller. "a moment or two after the
suggestion had been. made somo one
reached up to the book shelves and
took down the first volume that came
to hand. 1t was Lord Dunsany's The
Glittering Gate" to become on that
evening the first play of the Washing
ton Square Players, the forerunner Of
all the productions Of the Theater
Guild. We read the play over, and the
casting was done quickly. AS for CO.'S
tunes, we provided for that immedi-
ately by having none at all. The audi
erce was made up of one woman, who
came through the book shop on her
way to her room and was induced by
our pleas that an audience was abso-
lutely essential to stay-after she had
paid 10 cents, sum that went toward
tho purchase of properties"
This was the beginning Of the or
ganzation that came to be known as
the Greenwich Village Players, nm or
ganization that had as its guiding
spirit the same desire for independ-
ence in tho theater that characterized
the Irish National Theater. The little
group that had attempted, as Philip

Shakespeare the Coal
Of This Girl Playing
First Speaking Part

Nta Naldi, who plays in "The Bone
hcad,' the new comedy at the Fulton
Theater, the part of woman with such
keen vision that she can instantly de-
tect the color Of the aura of any person
entering the room, has found in this
play her first speaking part. She has
recently finished work in her first mo-
tion picture, the screen version of OR.
Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde" in which John
Barrymore was starred. In other
words, Miss Naldi is young enough to
talk about "frst times" In Stamford
the other day she celebrated her-you
know, the birthday that just allows her
to vote in case the suffrage amendment
is ratified by North Carolina.
Going back bit over her brief stage
experience, Miss Naldi told of coming
to this country in October, 1914 She
is by birth q Florentine, the daughter
of member of the Italian diplomatic
service. The fact that her father was
in the diplomatic service, explained
Miss Naldi, accounts for the fact that
she speaks English so perfectly, for it
was in Alexandria that she learned to
speak both English and French. Later
there was visit to Germany and a
little knowledge gained Of the unmen-
tionable tongue. Then to America,
where in 1918, only two years ago, she
began her stage career in the chorus
of "The Passing Show of 1918" at the
Winter Garden. The next year saw her
at the Century Grove, atop the Century
Theater. With that brief statement of
facts the record is complete.
To-day, in spite of the fact that she
has attained speaking part of no
mean Importance in a Broadway pro-
duction, Miss Naldi still looks upon
herself as "a show grip; it is perhaps
because of an irrepressible sense of
humor that will not allow her to take
herself seriously as yet. She confesses
that she has not studied as one should
study with Broadway ambitions, but
where could she have found time. she
asks. with two busy years as a show
girl?
Enter the sense of humor again. She
referred to q certain manager who
shall remain ever unnamed by US In
explanation Of statement that was to
follow.

she said with laugh, $50 that I can

the Famous Players-Lasky Corporations
Because of the limitations Of the
speaking stage do not believe that it
is able to provide as complete and as
varied entertainment as the motion
pictures. In the theater the story mus.
be presented in painted setting; the
motion picture camera can go anywhere
and record every action against real
background. The screen can present
great spectacles as easily as it can
show the tremble Of the finger which
may denote q moment Of supreme trag-
edy. 1t teaches as It amuses. But.
best Of all, 1t takes the same excellent
program into the smallest hamlet in
the most remote corner of the world
that it furnishes to the most thickly
populated community. I believe the
best entertainment is that which enter
tains the greatest number"
David Wark Griffith, one of the fore
most producers of motion pictures:
"Entertainment-whe through the
medium of the spoken play or the mo-
tion picture-is largely a matter Of
personal preference. Practically the
only difference between the stage and
the screen is that concerning the
human voice. Ali fine acting, whether
of the stage or screen, is embodied in
the art of pantomme, for no matter
how fine and cultivated a players voice
may be. if the player cannot act (pan-
tomime) convincingly, his value as an
entertainer is greatly lessened Sew
eral of our foremost critics have goH
on record in declaring the motion pict-
ure far superior to the spoken word,
simply because, after all, pantomime
is the greater art. Since the motion
picture is all pantomime. then it right
fully takes its place as the greater
form of expression, and its value as en-
tertainment should be judged accord
ingly."

ducer and general manager New York
