Pancho Lopez, that engaging BAN
dit Of Porter Emerson Brownies
"The Bad Man." at the Comedy The
alter, thinks little of America as q
free country. For him his native
country, Mexico, is the freest coun-
try in the world.
"The United States-it is the most
unfree country what is," he says.

Sir James Nj. Barrie lie Coming

Sir James M. Barrie will como to
America this fall to study motion pic
ture technique in the Famous Players
studios, 1t is announced. His third
work to reach the screen will be
Sentimental Tommy" in which John
S. Robertson will be the featured
director.
According to word received at the
Famous Players-Lasky headquarters,
the English writer has become more
deeply interested in motion pictures
than ever before since the picturiza-
ton Of "The Admirable Crichton" and
"Half an Hour" which he has seen
land declared to be Splendid"
The scenario Of Sentimental Tommy"
has been completed by Josephine Levett.
Her adaptation was made from q COM
bination of ali the books of "Senti-
mental Tommy" and will follow the es-
capades Of Tommy as boy and ending

1.-Two in the United States. In his
years Of acting Mr.. Blinn has learned
the def use Of his hands to acquire
any desired facial characteristic, yet
it is no five-minute task to change from
Holbrook Blinn to Pancho Lopez night
ly in his dressing room at the Comedy
Theater.
Mr.. Blinn admires the frankness of
Pancho Lopez. He likes man who
has the courage to speak out and say
just what he thinks and also goes
further and does just what he pleases
Such q man is Pancho Lopez. He is
supreme in his own sphere. He Is law
maker and judge. He is confidence
personified. There is nothing he can
not do.
"But his saving grace is q fine natu-
raj sense Of humor. Pancho, however,
knows that he is funny and enjoys
his jokes as much, II not more, than
do those surrounding him. I do not
believe, however, that Pancho has any
illusions concerning his ability. That
is, believe, he knows his limitations.
He would not 60 back 20 Mexico and
think that he could take over the gov
ernment of the country. There are
prototypes of Pancho Lopez right here
in civilized New York, and I know
some/of them. They are usually men
of great wealth; men who do prac-
tically as they please. But they suffer
from handicap which does not dis
turb the Mexican. They are hindered
by laws from doing. precisely as they
please. But Pancho--he Is the law. He
Is not hampered. 1t should be very
interesting to have play with a CIV
iltsed prototype Of Paneho, living In
civilized socie&y.~

Character Acting Not so
Easily Accomplished Now,
Holbrook Blinn Declares

m HI .ns ,s. n'n" =, wa. , young
upon to play cockney, so he
delved into his makeup box and
emerged with q pair Of blond side
whiskers and an accent which enabled
him to pronounce "can't" as If it were
spelled "cawn't." And with these &C. !
complishments he was successful in a :
cockney role.
"But since those days things have
changed" said the star of "The' Bad
Man." Porter Emerson Brownies sa-
tirical comedy at the Comedy Theater.
"There is no audience more critical Of
character portrayal than the American
audience, Many persons who 60 to the
theater are personally familiar with the
types which are presented on the stage,
and any defects in diction, in makeup,
In costumes, in gestures or in anything
are sure to be noted by some one in the
audience. An actor cannot afford to
overlook anything IN character role,
Tho population Of ths country 10 made
up Of 90 many di9srsmt races that there
is practically no character that can be
presented On the American stage wholly
unfamiliar 70 q typical American audi
ence. II an actor attempted to play q
cockney tho way he played when first
went on the stage he would fail. Amer
leans have travelled back and forth be-
tween the United States and England
and they know a cockney when they see
and hear one. They can't be fooled"
And now that Holbrook Blinn is play
Ing ono Of the most picturesque char
acter roles that the American stage has
seen in years, that Of Pancho Lopez, the
domineering but human Mexican bandit,
with winning sense Of humor, he has
an opportunity to put into practice the
rules he outlines for care in playing
characters in the theater. Texans who
have lived on the border and have en-
countered Mexican chieftains, at friend
ly or un9riendly meetings, can find no
flaws in his characterization. That is
the supreme test.
II was born in California, you know,
and met some OF the Mexican bandits,
who were we'll known along the bor-
DER" he says. "At rehearsals / had o
Spaniard out front listening to my
Spanish pronunciation. And the
clothes wear were either imported
from Mexico or were copied from the
Mexican originals, which could not be
obtained for importation here. Pancho
Lopez IL fussy regarding clothes. He
dresses right up to the latest edicts
from Banditville. use both pure
Castilian and the Mexican dialect in
playing the part OF Rancho, choosing
according TO effectiveness. In some
cases tho pure Spanish sounds best;
in others the Mexican pronunciation is
best"
Mr.. Blinn takes fullest advantage
Of what he calls his showiest part
since "The Boss" Tho roles are very
much alike, allowing, az they do, domi-
neeYing men who are laws unto them
selves, except that there was more
pathos In "Ths Boss" Paneho is not
an easy part for which to make up.
It 10 safe to say that Mr.. Blinn's bill
for brown paint and black mustache

Here's a Peep Into q
Popular Playwright Shop
With Avery Hopwood

anb3Isst; for m msh,s" n, alumni
or SO years ago, Louis Defoe,
the dramatic critic, told Of play
wrights like Charles Klein and Clyde
Fitch whose yearly incomes ran into
almost unbelievable figures and who
had country homes with private SWIM
ming pools and other Injuries.
Avery Hopwood read the article and
said to himself "Why not? I should
like private swimming pool myself.
shall write plays" And he did
write plays and he has continued to
do so ever since, with such success
that there Is seldom a theatrical sea-
son which does not see one or two
new plays from lis pen. Four plays
now In the theaters on Broadway bear
the Hopwood mark. They are "The
Gold Diggers," at the Lyceum,
Ladies' Night" at the Eltinge, which
he wrote in collaboration with Charl-
ton Andrew; Spanish Love" at
Maxine Elliott's, prepared in collabora-
tion with Mary Roberts Rinehart. and
1.-THE Bat" at the MoroscQ also writ
ten In collaboration With Mrs, Riue-
hart.
~Mr. Ds9oe'B article started mo On

said laughing7y. ~ was NOT very az
fluent aS the time and was dazzIed
at the sums no mentioned. Think Of
the havoc he wrought in my life! I
might have become @ college profess
sori"
Avery Hopwood came to New York
from Cleveland in 1905 after gradua-
ton from the University Of Michigan.
He brought with hirn play called
"Clothes," and an order to write daily
news letters for The Cleveland Leader.
But he sold the play after four weeks
in New York and gave up all thought
Of newspaper work and decided TO de-
vote himself entirely to the writing
Of plays.
"Wagenhals & Kemper bought the
play, but decided it needed working
over and I agreed with them. Chan
ming Pollock was called in and we
put 1t into shape for Grace George"
One Is given to wonder, after seeing
the regularity with which successful
plays with the tag, "by Avery Hop
wood" make their appearance on
Broadway, how the man finds time to
do the work and how he does it. Mr..
Hopwood explained it.:
II keep sort Of card catalogue in
which file all the ideas that come to
me for plays, for characters and for
scenes. OF course, 1t is not a real
card catalogue, but it resembles one
When want to write a new play I
look through It in search Of an idea.
Sometimes the idea is expressed
briefly and sometimes, when it lends
itself to easy outline, the whole thing
is outlined. I generally keep a few
ideas ahead and right now have what
consider six or eight good ideas for
plays and about 100 fairly good ones.
