Thirty trips across the Atlantic have
made of Morley seasoned sea voy-

lose the effects of ocean travel. His
last play in New York before going

the details of his career on the stage.
II would welcome an opportunity to
play straight comedy in plays like
Augustus Thomas used to write for
Willie Collier"
His first leading part was the role
of Tom Stanhope, which he originated,
in "Three Twins" in Chicago. He
has appeared in many musical sue
cesses, some of them being "The
Prince of Pilsen," "The Earl and the
Girl" with Eddie Foy, and "The Spring
Chicken with Richard Carle.
When Morley went to London in "The
Prince of Pilsen" in 1904 the show was
advertised as having an "all-American y
cast, despite his presence in it.

Vaudeville has seen much of Morley.

II acted in this sketch SO long that

insistent telephone messages and offers
to put it on again, and had to

Morley finds vast difference in play
ing before an American audience and in
playing before an English audience.
Results are achieved in different ways
in both countries.
"In America there aren't really any

not have as much money as the others,
but they are not radically different in
their tastes and appreciation. In Eng

to play to, the ones occupying the pit,
gallery and pit with you in England
and you will carry the house. An
actor can come. out on the stage and
give performance which will appeal
almost entirely to the pit and gallery.
The occupants of the stalls probably
think, This fellow isn't any good at
all. But after the actor has the ap-
proval of the pit and gallery he can
tone down or alter his performance to
suit the stalls, who think a second
time to themselves, This fellow is not

has seen much in his travels.

Miss Hoban is of Irish descent. She
is a witty young person, who jumped
straight from the seclusion of con-

thing like that. IN fact, the sailing

was somewhat nervous about it. She
IS like Elsie Janis in looks and was
taken for her by the guests of hotel
in Folkestone when on her way TO
London.
In "The Night Boat" she has to take
the part of an aggrieved wife who finds
that her naughty husband, while pre-
tending to be captain of the night Boat
to Albany is really entertaining other
women: Instead of being vixenish
about 1T she plays trick on him by
way of retaliation. Miss Hoban has no
personal experience as TO how husbands
should be treated, but she thinks that
sooner or later what she calls ."the
fatal spider" gets every one. She does
not believe that careers and husbands
go happily together, especially when
the career happens to be the stage.

Mae Murray Says Love Is

Mae Murray was in bed drinking milk
when we called on her at a rural hour
in her apartment at the Hotel des

we are bound to say she is still prettier

Born a Britisher and Bred
For a Barrister, Morley
Blows on a Bad Bassoon

When Victor Morley draws mournful
walls. very much akin to fog signals,
from his bassoon in "My Golden Girl
at the Nora Bayes Theater, he looks
ages removed from the dusty tones in
London solicitors office. Yet that is
where hc spent three years Of his
youth, reading cases and preparing for
the honorable career Of a British bar
rister. Not that his career on the stage
since he forsook the law court has been
a dishonorable one.
There are only twelve real bassoon
players in the country-eleven, not
counting myself" he says in Victor
Herbert's new musical play. Judging
him solely as bassoon player. one
must regret that he ever strayed from
the paths Of Blackstone, but as an
actor--that is a different story.
Although born in England, Vic Nor
ley's first professional work in the
theater was done in America, his first
appearance on Broadway being with
Grace George in "Pretty Peggy" at the
old Herald Square Theater.
AT nineteen l was in the Office of
Sandom & Kersey, in London, studying
law, and stayed there for three years.
Then my father died and left for a
trip around the world, winding up in
New York. I had done much amateur
theatrical work in England and when l
got to America l decided to cast my
lot with the stage"
Morley's dressing room at the Nora
Bayes Theater contained several
trunks decorated with Gags of a trans
atlantic steamer which had arrived in
port here only few days ago. He
had not yet had time even to unpack
them, he said. He had been playing
in London in Frank Craven's part in
Going Up" when he received cable
that he was wanted for the leading
role in "My Golden Girl" With oppor-
tunity to read the lines of his part on
the train to Syracuse and with two
days preparation he stepped into the
cast as Arthur Mitchell and came to

The fox trot has reduced popular
