Playing the Mother in
Fox Film at the Central
Is Natural for Mrs. Carr

"Playing the role of mother In Over
the Hill to the Poorhouse' Is almost
like remaining at home and romping
with the children" says Mary Carr,
who, In the William Fox screen adap-
tation of Will Carleton's farm ballad Of
the same name, now at the Central The
ater, has sounded the depths Of ma
ternai love.
Being the mother of seven children,
it did not seem a. all difficult for me to
present the mother character as de-
sired by Mr.. Fox and the director,
Harry Millarde." continued Mrs. Carr.
"The only advice received was to act
NATURAL and what could be more natu-
raj than resorting to grdde cakes,
syrup and milk to arouse house full
OF sleepy children from their late slum-
bers? Then, too, is there anything
more natural than discovering that
your son or daughter has stolen into
bed with the family dog or cat?
And the scene in which the mother
learns that one of her sons-the one
branded as black sheep'-must go to
priapn after having been eonvictsd NJ

Claiborne Foster Hopes
For Opportunity to Play
Serious Emotional Role

Claiborne Foster. who is appearing
in that Turkish bath farce, Ladies'
Night" at the Eltinge Theater, advo-
Gates hard work and study for success
on the stage. Away from the theater
she spends most Of her time with DAN
cling and music lessons.
Born in Louisiana. Miss Foster, when
still tot, gave signs Of dramatic abil-
ity. So at twelve Fossy, as she is
known to her associates of the theater,
was brought to New York by her
mother. She started her career in
Maeterlinck's "Blue Bird" Gradually
she acquired experience and stage per-
sonality, and for few seasons she ep~
peared supporting other stars. Then
her opportunity came with the leading
role in "The Full House She had inn
portant roles in cousin Lucy "Pot-
ash and Permutter' and other Broad
way successes. But theatergoers will
probably best remember her for her
performance in The Girl in the Limou-
sine" In the latter play she came back
TO the stage after an absence of two
years, an absence caused by her mar
riage. But the lure of the footlights
proved too strong for her, and when
A. H. Woods offered her a contract to
take leading role in "The Girl in the
Limousine" she gladly came back.
And now she is the vvacious and
pleasure seeking wife of John Cumber-
land. who neglects her nightly at the
Eltinge.
Miss Foster confesses that although
she is contented in her present role in
The farce comedy still she looks for
ward to the day when she will have the
nance to play a serious character.

since this new incarnation Of the Can
tor spirit appeared.
The blackface comic originated with
the minstrel troupe and it has held
place on the stage consistently since
those days. There was a spirit of fun
IN the colored race which the white
man, BACKED up, seemed able to imi-
tate and carry over the footlights.
Players who went from mnstrelsy into
vaudeville, musical comedy and dra-
matte production gradually abandoned
use of the cork, although among the
earlier generations the actor generally
mad at least one negro character in his
repertoire. But the modern actor, if
he were true comedian, found that
the black mask was unnecessary. Ed
die Cantor began as II blackface come
dian, and he retained the use of the
cork until very recently He thought
II was an essential part of his per-
formancc and that he needed it to be
funny.
George lie Marie is responsible for
my appearance in whiteface," says Mr..
Cantor. "When | joined broadway
Brevities' had never appeared except
in blacktace. but there were certain
scenes in this piece which had to be
played without it. did not want to
do ii. The feeling of man who has
always played in blackface would be
difficult for others to understand: Mr.
lie Marie, however, insisted that must
do it. He used 10 be a blackface come
dian himself and told me that he was
just as reluctant to give up the cork
as was. At the same time he assured
me I could do~just as we'll without it.
There WAS no way out of it, so I
consented to try playing in whiteface

| would be back to my old make up

Louis Mann, now playing In 1.-THE
Unwritten Chapter" at the Astor Thea
ter, was pretty young when he EN-
braced the drama as a profession.
lie was six years old when he ap-
pered in Snowflake" fairy tale. at
the old Stadt Theater in New York.
During the period between his sixth
and eighteenth birthdays he was Just
the average American boy-going to
school reluctantly, but every now and
then breaking out with a grand pas
sion for the stage. He practiced his
art on any one who would stand by
and take notice. During this period
he also worked up warm admiration
for the great American game of base
ball. Next to becoming an actor he
wanted to be a professional ballplayer.
The drama won. But Mr.. Mann never
lost his interest in the national game
and to-day he is recognized on Broad
way as the most fanatical fan that
daily turns his footsteps toward the
Polo Grounds. His admiration for the
Giants is the only unrcgenerate preju-
dice Mr.. Mann possesses.
At eighteen he became regular &C
tor and seriously began his career by
transforming through New England
In various small towns he played such
parts as Hamlet, and Armand in ."Ca-
mile" Later he was identified with
leading stock companies and supported
such stars as Salvlni. Lewis Morrison

Sale OF Cigarettes To Boys.
(St. Adams Messenger.)

Complaints received by State $ At

a crusade against violators of Yer

been little said against the weed

matum: clips that touch cigarettes

other brand, as her taste fancies. 1t
is to be feared that the young women

upon cigarette smoking with toler-
ance if not with complete indifference.
