Ubf Gbolutlon of a 5tar
Maclrn. Arbuckle

A sense Of humor and natural en-
dowments Of voice and physique have
been important agents in shaping the
stage career of Maclyn Arbuckle He
IS invariably cast for roles of a robust
character which give him the oppor-
tunlty TO display his optimistic droll-
cry, ms range Of facial and emotional
expression and his sound health.
His present role Of Daddy Dump
Inns in the play of that name. now on
view at the Republic Theater. is
representative one, perhaps his great
est. SURROUNDED by a group Of lovely
stage children, his own wholesomeness
is sharply brought out, for he becomes
a sort Of symbol of all the human
qualities that We associate with St.
Nicholas, fairy godfathers and the
elderly Dickens heroes.
Maclyn Arbuckle was born in San
Antonio, where he was educated in
public schools When in his teens he
was sent abroad for study and travel.
He devoted himself originally to art,
but on his return to America took up
the study Of law, practiced for time,
and also entered politics. One of his
earliest roles was Smith in George
broadhursts farce, "Why Smith Left
Home which he played two seasons
in the United States and four months
in London. Then Joseph Brooks
starred him in The Sprightly Romance
Of Morsac."
He found an admirable role soon
after in George AIDES play, "The
County Chairman" which he played
for four years continuously in New.
York and on tour. Next he played the
part Of the sheriff in Klaw & Erlan-
gers production Of "rhc Round Up,"
a part so eminently suited to his dis
tinctive talents that he played it for
five seasons. For one season he
starred in Joseph Brooks's production
Of "Thc Circus Man" After that he
became member Of the hve-star re
vival Of "The New Henretta," with
William Crane, Amelia Bingham, Mabel
Ta'liaferro and Thomas w Ross.
Mr.. Arbuckle's recent roles have
ranged from the naive characters of
James Whitcomb Riley to Bernard
Shaw's sophisticated speechmakers He
appeared as Doc Townsend in William
A. Brady's production of Riley's play,
Home Again. and starred in William
favcrsham's production Of Shaws
"Nlisalliance." He was also one of the
four stars in Faversham's revival Of
Lord and Lady Algy," the others being
William Favershem, Maxine Elliott and
Irene Fenwick.
In January, 1919. Arbuckle was en-
gagged by the Coburns to star in the
Philadelphia company Of THE Better
Ole" He also has been actively inter
ested in the motion pictures. Last year
ne organized his own picture CORPORA
ton and produced four pictures.

Claire speaks about twenty-four thou
sand words. Yet that is only ono factor
CT the role.
There is the multiplicity Of stage
business connected with the part. In
addition to this. Miss Claire is called
upon to sing and dance at every per-
formancc. Throughout the play she is
of the stage only long enough to make
costume changes. To think Of 500 per-
formances OF such role a1ds new
meaning TO diligence.
Il am firm believer in the fact that
the longer one plays n role the more
perfect it should become" she says.

Of Jerry. OF course, if she were a
wishy- -washy character suppose 1t
would be hard to keep my interest in
her after such a long time. Thank
goodness! she is such real girl that
