ErUine Reserves Wise
Speeches for Women

1ARACTICALLY ali the wise words
H. in "Mixed Marriage" are as
signed to women, most of them to
Margaret Wycherly, who plays
superbly in the role of Mrs. Rainey.
1t is Mrs. Rainey who voices the
thought that men are Sjust big
children and that women are put in
the world to look after them. How
ever, we don't intend to suggest
that this is particularly wise. eye
JUS feekythat men are not near as
clivir as they think they are, an
ye>re not sarry fur it.n
In one respect st. John Ervine
seems none too clivir himself.
"Mixed Marriage" was originally
written for the Abbey Theater COM
pany of Irish Players, and yet Ervine
has carefully taken pains to indi-
cate the brogue throughout with a
phonetic spelling which is some
times weird enough to seem foreign
language. In the playing of the
present company the brogue comes
out somewhat more persuasively
than it is written.

Writers COlonized
In California CITY

~ UsT outside of Los Angeles is the
81 city Of Hollywood, until a few
~ years ago not much different
from thousands Of other suburban
cities in all corners of the United
States. The funsters on Pacific Coast
newspapers got just as much material
from Hollywood commuters as do their
brethren on Eastern papers from the
package e-laden husbands Of Long Island,
New Jersey and Westcnester County.
But Hollywood is transformed, and the
cause OF the transformation is the for
ward strides which are being made in
the motion picture industry.
Hollywood, the Mecca of motion mic
ture writer's, or, rather, of writer's who
are turning their thoughts to writing
for the screen, that is what it has be-
come. Avery Hopwood, playwright,
with four successes playing at the pres
ent time in Broadway theaters, calls the
California city the "Cambridge of the
Pictures" Consider the following list
OF fictionists, dramatists and short
story writers and then try to find a
community which can show so many
we'll known members Of the writing
profession living in it's midst:
Gertrude Atherton, Elinor Glyn, Sir
Gilbert Parker, Edward Knoblock, Clay

Rupert Hughes, Gouverncur Morris.
Louis Sherwin, Thompson Buchanan,
Rex Beach and Cosmo Hamilton. 1t is
reported that Sir James M. Barrie and
Henry Arthur Jones also will go to
Hollywood.
What is it, what is there in the mo-
tion picture that lures writer's of this
caliber to the far-off California city, 10

Ervine Portrays
Ancient Religious
Struggle i'm Play
80 tv/yVc Y4,9rEls r1oHroE HHoro

II Asst Tuesday evening there was q
y, heavyweight struggle in Madison
Square Garden. Not far away, on
the same evening, on the outskirts of
that district of New York called Madi-
son Square, another struggle took place,
at the Bramhall Playhouse. The Orange
men and the Catholics. the discordant
elements in St. John Ervine's "Mixed
Marriage" were contending against one
another, and when the play ended they
were still waging primitive warfare
with no hope or promise that they would
ever sit down at peace table unless
they should bury their differences and
realize that they could all do something
for the good Of Ireland. That is, to
get together. So while the struggle in
the historic amphitheater was concluded
when the winning blow was struck, there
was no such decsivcness in the fight at
the Bramhall Playhouse.
Augustin Duncan, who staged "Mixed
Marriage" and who plays the role OF
John Rainey, the very epitome Of big
otry, the Protestant, who has an un-
dying hatred OF the Catholics, sees in
"Mixed Marriage great play, perhaps
the greatest of the dramatic works Of
st. John Ervine, considered in the light
Of present conditions in John Bulls
"Other Island" When the Thcater
Guild produced "John Ferguson" by the
same author, Augustin Duncan played
the title role, so he had ample opportu-
nifty to compare it with some of the
other works Of the Irish playwright.
"When read John Ferguson and
Mixed Marriage some years ago, !
thought there was no comparison be-
tween the two plays, and that John
Ferguson was much superior play
Yet | know that Ervine considered
Mixed Marriage his best work.
thought at the time that he might have
had some personal reason for his belief
but in considering my experiences with
the play in putting it on and the condi-
tions in Ireland as they are to-day,
can easily see why Ervine thinks as he
does. Ervine looked deeply into the
Irish situation when he wrote his play
and much Of what he wrote, although
years have passed since he wrote it,
still holds good at the present time. 1t
is evident that the conflicting element.

Augustin Duncan has theory that
he would like to put on plays so in

the theater with as much alacrity as
they do to a prizefght. He is no!
