George White
Shaw's Suppressed Play
To Be Given by Celtic
Players i'm a New Bill

Deborah Bierne, managing director
of the Celtic Players, announces the
second Of the three bills which her
organization is to present at the Prov
incetown Theater in Macdougal Street
this summer. At the same time she
announces the acquisition Of P. ].
Kelly, for several years director for
the E. H. Sothern and Julia Marlowe
productions. Mr.. Kelly has thrown his
fortunes in with the group Of Irish
players who wish to show America
what modern Irish drama of the high
est class is like.
The new bill will succeed tho pres
ent bill of Pearse's "Singer" and T. C.
Murray's "Birthright" June 21. The
first play which will employ the SER
vices of Mr.. Kelly is George Bernard
Shaw's "OFlaherty. v. c." This play
which is satire with Dublin accent,
has never been produced in this coun-
try and has been forbidden production
in England by the government.
Liberal allowance has been made for
comedy on the new bill in "a Minutes
Wait" by Martin McHugh, one of the
comedy successes of the Abbey The
ater in Dublin. This piece deals with
the fortunes of the Dunfail Light Rail-
way, which is a joke in Ireland, the
railroad never having been known 10
be on time.
The third play Of the new bill is
The Rising of the Moon" by Lady
Gregory. This play has been requested
by the majority of the subscribers to
the three bills. The new bill goes into
rehearsal Immediately, while at the
same time work has begun upon new
settings and lighting effects Concern
ing the settings and the lightings used
IN the present bill of "Singer" and
"Birthright," Miss Bierne said yester-
day:
II am often asked since our opening
how 1t was possible to obtain on a
little stage the atmospheric effects we
have used. 1t is new system of color
blending. The settings are painted
with mixture of colors in solid par
ticles so that when, for instance. an
amber light is thrown upon them
certain tonal effect is produced. A
tinge of red produces a totally different
aspect. SO much so that one set could
be used in a variety Of scenes and
would seem so different In each that
the audience would not recognize It,"

Miss LIE Callienne Clings to
English Trait of Tenacity
As Pathway to Success

When Eva lie Gallienne wants a
thing she usually gets it, even though
1t requires much trouble and effort.
She says so herself. Fitting upon the
stage ct the Booth Theater and off
again. N ber quaint gown of the '70's,
which she wears as Elsie Dover in "Not
SO Long Ago." she told story of her
tenaclty. She told it in hurried phrases
In iive or ten minute installments as
the waits" permitted. But she told it
ckarmingly
Four-year-old Eva (speaking not of
the present, but sixteen years ago)
was taken from her London birthplace
to Paris by her parents, where she
lived for ten years. Except for visits
10 the circus in London and in Paris,
she had never been to the theater until.
at seven she was taken to see Sarah
Bernhardt. Even then she realized that
she had van ideal, model, in case she
should ever become an actress, and
that ideal was the divine Sarah. Every
play in which Nine. Bernhardt appeared
from then on little. Eva was sure to
see. When she was old enough to go
to the theater alone she would sit
wherever her savings would allow her,
usually in one of the back rows Of the
gallery.
Eva learned of Sarah Bernhardt's
memoirs and straightway went to the
booksellers to buy a copy. But alas,
She had not enough money to buy the
book. But she would have the memoirs
in spite of this. When Eva wants
thing she gets it. So she borrowed a
copy of the French actresses book and
set out to copy it by hand.
Everybody said | could never do it,
They said | would grow tired of it,
aut bought some paper with the
savings which | had hoped would get
ME the book and started to work. The
more they said l wouldn't do il the
more | told myself that would When

get it. Every day copied for an hour,
and eight months later | had my own
ccry of Sarah Bernhardt's memoirs

AS reward for her diligence Eva's
long hand copy of the book was bound
for her Still she had not vet met
Bernhardt: That would be the crown
ing reward.
Mrs. Faversham was in Paris and it
was she who took me to see Sarah
Bernhardt and presented me to her.

7TWixt Camille and
HOrtense? Choose the
One With the Sense

Youth and beauty may be all right,
and no doubt are. in their place. But
they are not actual necessities in the
making of interesting and successful
motion pictures, according to Frank
Lloyd, director of many large pictures
In recent years.
Mr.. Lloyd was commenting upon the
recent statements of the Shuberts and
Florenz Ziegfeld jr. to the effect that
youth and beauty would override
tion of young women for parts in their
musical productions. Not even good
sense, education or training would
have as much to do with their sue
cess, it was said as beauty and youth
Mere physical beauty" said Mr..
Lloyd lis poor reed to lean upon,
and the makers of screen drama at
last have found it out. / have no hest
fancy In saying that it is of the least
value. The screen players who have
come to dominate the field are not the
sweet buds from the garden of posies.
These have had their day. On the
feminine side the lasting successes
are not noted for physical charm, and
on the male side quite the reverse is
the rule Ray, Hart, Rogers, Fair
banks and others who pull the crowds
are not Beau Brummels. They ex-
press character, purpose or vigorous
ambition. The feminine stars whose
beauty holds have the spiritual beauty,
which Is quite different from the kind
meant by Shubert and Ziegfeld.
con the stage it is Mrs. Fiske, the
Sotherns. men like ". H. Crane and
the Barrymores who make the drama
worthy of consideration.
"The people generally are tired of
poseurs. The essence of drama is CON
fict, not physical comeliness. A player
has got to mean something besides be-
ing a pawn in saccharine, conven-
tional romance or a fashion plate"
He declared that the trend of all
motion picture stars to-day was to-
ward the accomplishment Of some GER
tain line of character work, and said
that few young women were present
ing themselves to the directors and
producers to-day simply because they
possessed pretty faces or figures. They
know, he said, that they are not
wanted.
