 UNUSUAL MEMORY

Kreisler explains 1t oy the simple statement that he has always used his mind as much and his fingers as little as possible, in practicing. He claims to be able to do more praetic- ing in half an hour by means of con

 weeks time.-
 His memory is equally remarkable,

 It's past success is guarantee enough but to me the one big fact that stahds out paramount in connection with this play is that Booth Tarkington wrote it! He who knows so well the psyohol- ogy of laughter!
 Figuratively speaking, there is a laugh every minute in Clarence" And the Tarkington laughs are provoked le- ultimately, usually by droll character iZations or inconsistencies.
 For instance, one big laugh in "Clar- ence' is in this dialogue:
 Cora-What did you do in the war?
 Clarence-I drove mule
 Cora-What did you do that for?
 Clarence-Somebody had to. They won't go where you want em lnless you drive em.
 Cora-But if it is not too personal a question, I'd like to ask why you drove mule?
 Clarence-I was drafted. I didn't select that branch of the service my self.
 Cora-You mean somebody told you to.
 Clarence-Yes, I thought it better to do what they said.
 Cora-Were you ever wounded?
 Clarence-Yes, I was.
 Cora (excitedly)-O where did it happen?
 Clarence-At target practice.
 Speaking of laughter-(always a cheerful subject, so I'll spread this along), the theatre is old in legends of the value of laugh. The playwright who can make the world laugh and forget it's troubles does a lot for the human race.

Our aim shall be to deal with the ac- tivities of the theatre in our principal producing center-New York, for by so doing we shall cover the source of bur supply of drama.
 There are occasionally some produc- tions iH Boston, Washington or Chicago, but in almost every instance these are only preliminary showings of plays in- tended later for Broadway. The writer is not posing as a dramatic critic, please understand that! This article is only a review, being a digest of the dramatic opinions of those who are near the heart things dramatic and whose judgments are unquestioned.
 It would be impossible and unprofit- able, to mention every New York pro- duction. Notice will be made of the popular successes, because they are plainly the choice of the people who sup port the theatre.
 Plays of literary distinction of theme or text will be discussed at length but even these will not be viewed through the '1orgnette of the high
 We in Birmingham find ourselves in something of the same position as Chi cago with reference to our supply of drama, which Mir. Hammond, dramatic editor of the Tribune, describes thus: "The punctual tides of the theatre casts the drama upon our thirsty beach in the course of time They are not so much new dramas, of course, as secondhand ones since all have been in service else where, and come to us as honest vet erans from the eastern fields. Therein is one of the advantages of the provin- cial playgoer The wares that reach the distant marts are time-tried and depend- able. They have been examined and found good and staple by the severe and exacting appraisers in other metropol- ises, and thus the hazards of the play house are reduced for us to a comfort able minimum Who, under such felici- tous circumstances, would prefer to be a producing center?"
