In another scene in the play Polde-
kin, who has seen his first ball game,
gives this amusing description Of it
for the benefit Of his Russian asso-
ciates:
well, it is played on q green field
| all sparkling in the sunshine. There
are the thousands and thousands of
people all desiring constantly that
something impossible should happen
disappointed-and then instantly again
audible with the most radiant Opt
mism. Down below you see groups of
athletes on the green field almost like
little Tanagra statuettes for stiffness
sometimes and then all electric in &C
tion like running Greeks, and the great
masses Of people rise and shout their
wishes to the athletes; but the ath-'
letes always do something much the
opposite and then the people sit down
and breathe so hard you can feel it
on the back Of your neck. There, with
the sun shining on the people, you can
more than anywhere else. The ath-
letes have a little ball. but hardly no.
tlce it at all. The athletes themselves
never wish to keep it; they do every
thing they can to make it 60 some
where away from them. | think that
is the point-to avoid having the ball
remain near you. All this you barely
notice because there is so much else
to think about.
There was an amphitheater with
roof where there were boxes with wire
in front Of them to keep the people
from falling out in their excitement.
Now, if you had a little extra money
to spend you could sit in one of those
boxes, and when saw that understood
what an ideal country could be. For
instance. all the people own the parks
and they are finer than the richest
mans country estate; all he can do is
TO have little one to himself instead
OF the fun of the big one with crowd.
And the workingman can get the same
from his big park as the millionaire
from his little one, because neither a
millionaire nor a workingman can sit
under more than one tree at time,
you know. And the people own the
most beautiful things. No millionaire
can buy such collections as there are
in the peoples museums. And so when
all the people have good beds, good
food and good plumbing and can 60

between richer man and poorer
man will be that the richer man can
have in private-like those boxes with
the wjre-something that the poorer
man can have in the sunshine in the

Booth Harrington Gives
Poldekin a Character of
I Sorts and Baseball Lore

When George Arliss Arst received
the manuscript OF Booth Tarkington's s
"Poldekin," in which he has just
opened at the Park Theater. he was q
little puzzled concerning the central
figure and he wrote to the author for
enlightenment. The novelist play
wright thereupon did an unusual thing.
He sat down and invented forthwith
pedigree and q career of sorts for
his character, career that is only
vaguely limited at in the lines of the
play. This statement of antecedents,
Of previous conditions of servitude and
Of psychology Mr.. Arliss found enor-
mously valuable in drawing the char
acter. Here is what Mr.. Harrington
wrote:
.,"Poldekin is the son Of Rumanian
dagger, Caspia, and the father-God
kn6ws! He is at least half Latin.
He"has been soldier, q hotel guide, a
revolutionary journalist and printer
of propaganda-this last was in his
university days. He is what used to
be called, until the phrase became
funny, "a polished man of the world.
His manner is gay. ebullient some
times, and he has charm.
I'VE has expected much of the revo-
luton, but finds that it has gone crazy.
Being a sane man himself, in the
midst Of msdmen, he is naturally sup
posed to be an idiot and he fastens on
this idea and gayly humors it. Be-
meath the light of humor with which
ne does this he has become a satrist
When the Bolsheviki expound their
theories he seems to agree with happy
enthusiasm. then he makes the theory
complete or carries it logically further
to an absurd conclusion which shows
the falsity of the theory. He does
this with seemingly happy naivete, as
one cheerfully, even enthusiastically
agreeing. He is more serious in man
ncr when he is with his beloved Maria.
He has moments even of pathos, yet
moments of gallant lightness, too"
There is much Of the Harrington
literary manner in the dialogue of
''Poldekin." Here is speech, for
instance, in which he protests against
his sweetheart's wearing of black:
People are not meant to wear black,
Maria. I think they were never meant
to wear it at all. Nothing else does.
Nature has no black-eXcept coal. And
the reason coal is black is so that the
first man to find it would hate it and
try. TO burn it to get it out of his
sight. Then he found what it vas

"And l think we were fortunate in
this respect" he said.
In the many weeks of rehearsal

thing, if nothing more. He learned that
musical comedy is great deal harder
than one thinks it is.
Musical comedy, for all those who
appear in it and have anything to do
with its preparation, is a great deal
harder than opera, in my opinion" Zim-
balist observed. "There are so many
rehearsals, held at any time of the
day or night, that perfect physical
condition is an absolute necessity
Then SO much more is required of an
actor in musical comedy than of a
singer in opera. l know of no opera in
which singer has more than twenty

for an actor to have an hour or more
