PLAY-AUTH0RS
American Playwright in
London Declares English
Rank Yankees.
By GRENVILLE VERNON.

London, July 31.-The American
playwright, c. B. Fernald, who has
been honorary secretary of the Lon
don Dramatists' Club AMI who is
making the English trapslation OF
The Jest" has some interesting
things to say in regard to. the Eng
lish theater in contrast to the Amer
lean. Mr.. FcrnaId believes that the
younger American playwrights are
as skillful technicians as their Brit
isR brothers, but that they are less
sincere and sacrifice the truth for
mere effect.
Mr.. Fernald also says that while
English actors are. as rule, better
than Americans. in England the
smaller parts are better cast; the
English actresses, he thinks. are in
ferior to American in temperament
and emotional power.
British PIaywrights Better.
THE Young American playwrights
have secured an unusual mastery
over the mechanics of their trade.
and the result at the box office has
ronald them" said Mr.. Fernald
"The Younger British playwrights.
on the other hand, have not perhaps
proved so successful with the great
public. but they have set themselves
a higher standard of work.
The producing of plays and their
general casting is superior on this
side of the water to what it is on
Broadway. There a re half a dozen
British producers who are fully the
leoual of any in America. English
actors, too. are better trained, and
for parts which require refinement
of hearing or expression. arc better
fitted than are many American ac-
tors. They know the niceties of
social intercourse and are able to
sneak the English language prop
erly.

"On the other hand. british aC-
tresses are largely OF the fair
haired. blue-cyed type. tall and slim.
but lacking in temperament. They
are grievously wanting in color, in
fire. and in general emotional equiD-
II ent. Yet the British public loves
color when given it. asd for this
reason American actresses are liked
in London. Indeed. the American

International Contest to Be.

BY LIEUT.. COL. n. W. MARKHAM,
Editor of the Yachtsnau

London. July 3l-The greatest in
terost in yachting circles is. now
centered in the international motor
9out races. which are scheduled to
begin August IL in the SoIent.
British yachtsmen are none too
confident but that America will re-
gain the honors which its represeu-
tativcs, Ankle Deep and Reliance,
lost to Mackay Edgar's Maple Leaf
~ in hard-fought race in 1912.
America had held the cup for five
years previously In the following
year Maple Leaf " was also sue
Cessful against the American and
French challengers, and since then
there have been no races, although
in 1914 Commodore Pugh challenged
with Disturber ".
Mofc Entries Than Ever.
This year sees the greatest num-
Der of entries ever gathered for the
motor class. Four nations are rep

and Spain-with a total of nine
boats.
Three American boats are already

can. entered by the Garwood family,
the name OF Commodore r. A Jud-
son. The first two boats are new,
and though of partially attractive
appearance are rated as high-clas
speed machines. Both are fitted with
Liberty motors of horsepower
Miss America, being the smaller. is
regarded as having a better chance
in smooth water. while Miss Detroit
is a favorite If the seas are rough.
All the American boats have
shown well in the trials now run
ming in the Solent, doing an aver
age of over seventy miles an hour
Little is known of the capability
of the French and Spanish boats
but the English entrants expect Ia
have to show unusually high speed
to retain the trophy. To this end
Sir Mackay Edgar's boat is fitted
with 1.S0O-horsepower quadruple

of lean crops within the next five years.
