Sir Thomas Upton to
Make Film Scenes of
The Yacht Cup Races

Sir Thomas Upton, the noted sports
man, who is to make another try to
win back for England the America s
Cup, Is motion picture "fan" through
and through. Next to yachts, he pre-
fers to attend film showings, and now
that he has been accompanied, since
his arrival in America, by Jerry Fraen-
.kal, of the news staff of the Interna-
tional company, he has shown keen
desire to learn to make his own
pictures.
He will turn the crank Of Mr.. Fraen-
kal's machine while the latter is film
ing parts of the great race to be held
soon, and it is expected he will snap
the pictures Of the final lap Of the
Shamrock in it's race for world supre-
macy in yachting speed.
Mr. Fraenkal is teaching him to make
motion pictures each day, and it is
believed that by the time the races are
run he will be able to handle the
machine alone.

lation which is being overlooked.
Morrissey is not highbrow.
'In the theater to-day" he says, "as
rule you either find very high class,
kighbrow entertainment, or vulgar en-
tertainment. There is no surplus of
the thing which ordinary people like
my father and mother or l or others
can enjoy. 1 shall try to give them
the entertainment which they will
like"
Morrissey is capable actor, and so
are the members of his company. Yet
he demands that they appear amateur
ish in their work, and not Supremacy
confident acting-machines. He has
reasons for being professionally and
purposely amateurish.
Suppose / we're a salesman" he said
in explanation. eff I approach a
prospective buyer, confidence and ag-
gressiveness personifed, with not the
slightest thought of failing to make a
sale, l create no sympathy between
myself and the buyer. The tactics are
wrong. On the other hand, take man
who comes in modestly and says: i
think / have a nice little article here
which you may be interested in. May
I show it to your With an approach
like this the customer is reasonably
sure to look at the salesman's samples,
whether he cares to buy or not. That
| is the principle apply to acting, and
4 am, often misunderstood. Some
critics do not see my point, ind think
can do no better. Perhaps they are
right" he said, half smilingly.
"The public, think, is sold toward
| the perfect actor the man, confident
| Of his ability, who makes no mistake.
There is no intimacy between actor
and audience. They are left cold. II
/ there is one thing more than anything
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1920-07-11

else that l strive for it is intimacy
between myself and the audience. and
l impress this upon the members of my
company. When the audience sees ou1
seemingly amateurish efforts they SYM
pathize with US and enjoy the per-
Torrance more. The fellow who sits in
an orchestra or balcony seat is a little
jealous of the perfect actor-jealous
perhaps, because he can't do the things
that the man on the stage can do
But when they see US they have 8
chance to say, 4 think can do as
we'll as he CAM and they like US more
But make no mistake about it. To ap-
pear amateurish is one of the hardest
things to do on the stage"
Backstage, waiting for his cue, Nor
rissey is ever active. He stands in the
wings and encourages the dancers on
the stage. He instructs them when to
go cut and take their bows He
listens to minor complaints and settles
difficulties with smile and to the
hears suggestions for revisions in the
book of "Buzzin' Around" for new
songs, for new acts.
There are hundreds of acts around
the country" Morrissey says. whose
value, is not recognized by New YORK
managers. The actor knows their
value, however, and in my productions
| intend to show these acts to New
York.
"Some day when have money
enough I shall offer three distinct
kinds of entertainment in one evening
in my own theater," Morrissey said
II should have forty minutes Of good
dramatic entertainment. thirty or forty
minutes Of grand opera, and then q
bright, snappy musical comedy pro,

Nora Bayes, Unscathed
By Time, Finds Work
The Great Rejuvenator

re RANK REYNOLDS, backstage
doorman, and Bill Clarke, stage
manager, have witnessed the
ascendancy of new stars and the
dimming Of old ones in their years OF
service at the. Palace Theater. One
would think that by this time they had
become hardened, Unconditional beings
automatons of the theater, perhaps
For have they not seen temperamental
prima donnas rise in fights of temper
to heights unequaled even by their
bursts of song2 Have they not at
tempted to fathom the idiosyncracies
Of eccentric comedians? Have they
not known many of the inner secrets
of vaudeville's most famous head
liners? Ask Frank or Bill, they'll tell
you. Hardened, you think? Ask Nora
Bayes, she'll tell you
No longer are Frank and Bill
youngsters. They have seen new Gus
toms and new styles come into acting
and into stage management. The
keeper of the stage door must be a
diplomat. If you don't believe it,
spend little time watching the
variety of callers who attempt to gain
adlnittance by way of the actors en-
trance. The keeper of vaudeville
stage door has greater assortment
to deal with than his fellows of the
Legitimate theaters. Dudes, subpoena
men, friends Of performers, life in
surance statesmen, photographers, and
advertising solicitors are only a few
of those he must encounter.
Nora Bayes prides herself on the
fact that she knows every backstage
doorman from the Atlantic seaboard to
the Pacific Coast And when you ask
her who is her favorite she replies un-
hesitatingly, Frank Reynolds"
Little wonder is it, then, that Frank
Reynolds and Bill Clarke, who is also
favorite of Miss Bayes's as she is
favorite of his, Wed with each
other like pair of young SWANS to
be the first to greet and even to hug
the genial songstress on her return
to vaudeville via the Palace Theater
after long absence. They did, though,
and which one gave the closest hug
Or the most resounding smack none
OF the parties concerned is willing TO
tell. With homecoming such as this.
why shouldn't Miss Bayes be glad to
come back?
Nora Bayes is home from her long
tour on the road in Ladies First
with new accompanist, Shadow
and new husband, her fourth. Of
course, no one is immune to the
passage of time, but Miss Bayes is
certainly one who appears unscathed.
If she looked fresher and better than
she does now, if she were in better
voice than she is now, she must in
deed have been marvellous to see and
hear. She thrives on work. and what
with benefits, musical comedy produc-
tons and vaudeville engagements
there is precious little time left for
rest.
My idea of rest is more work." she
explained, few minutes after she had
finished planning with her accompa-
mist, j. Dudley Wilkinson, for her part
in the Nellie. Reyell benefit at the
cohan & Harris Theater this evening"

Tuesday evening. "A Thief in the
Night" by Avery Hopwood and Mary

By far the most interesting Of these
prospects is Miss Starts new play,
given at the Savoy Theater, Asbury
Park, July s., Martin Lewis, who is new
to New York, playing the leading male
part. The play belongs to the psychical
category. According % accounts, Miss
Starr gives a powerful performance,
playing twin role.

A BritOn on Drama
Walter Hast, English Producer, Praises
BelascO and Lee Shubert

rectors of the Pioneer Film Company,
has arranged to picturize Mr.. Hast's big
dramatic successes.
Between the productions and the
playhouses geographers of the drama
tic world are at a loss to locate the
equator. Mr.. Hast, however, is one
who believes that before long there
will be more theaters in New York
than. producers. Producers, he rea-
sons, will be required to limit their
activities owing to the prohibitive cost
of production. Here are few of the
items illustrating the recent increase
in cost:
Furniture, he estimates, has jumped
SO per cent in price; scenic canvas and
carpentry, 30 per cent; electrical ma
terials, SO per cent; costumes, so per
cent; shoes, 60 per cent; hats, SO per
cent; stockings and tights, so per cent,
and salaries and artists, SO per cent.
Extra stagehands and musicians arc
required at higher salaries. Advances
in taxes, railroad fares and the whole
higher level of the cost of living lay
heavy requisition upon the business Of
the theater.
Nevertheless, the United States is
leading the world in dramatic produc-
tion," says Mr.. Hast. 1.-The money is
in America and it is lavished on ex-
periments in a manner that amazes
the more conservative producers of
Great Britain and the Continent"
Yet the American stage has much to
learn from the older line of theatrical
impresarios overseas. One of the un-
healthy conditions here, in Mr.. Hast's
opinion, is the demand for long runs
Of a year, two years and even more;
another is the decline of the roper
tory company and the tendency among
actors to specialize; and yet another
is the requirement of long periods Of
rehearsal
"Of course, the fault lies with the
managers" he explains. 81 am not one
of the sad harpers who moan the de-
cadence of the stage. The drama is
far from decline. Yet it is a fact
that the era of our greatest American
actors-the Booths, Barrett, Ellen
Terry, Mary Anderson, Modjeska and
others of that brilliant circ.1 that
fiourished in the '90s-was one Of
repertory. / can't help thinking that
the fostering Of one-piay or two-play
actors makes for the impoverishment
of dramatic art.
There Is similar vice in the prac-
tice of managers in specializing actors.
For example, in casting part man.
ager will say: There's Bill Jones; he
plays good detective: cast him for
Hawskshaw.' So Jones becomes associ-
ated with detective parts, and it seldom
occurs to sthe managers mind that
Jones might play some other part much
better. BY and by Jones himself thinks
ne is ordained to play the detective.
VI course, ] have stated this crudely
and with some exaggeration, but It
illustrates the point.
"In rehearsals there is tendency
to train actors down to too fine q
point. 1t is not uncommon to give four
weeks to terrific Snd grilling work
before formal showing. And so actors
are stalled, just as fighters and horses
are stalled by entertaining. Two weeks
rehearsal ought 70 be enough for any
company three at the most.
