TALKS
TOCITY CLUB
Renowned Actor Explains
Theater's S Place in Com
munity.

You never heard of Edwin Booth
addressing the Chamber of Com
merce of New York City on THE
Place of the Theater in the Com
munity" did you? Mrs. John Drew
never visited city high schools and
colleges to impress upon the pupils
the values of poetry and dramatic
literature as Miss Marlowe con-
stantly does.
Which means the times have
changed. as you would have in
ferred had you been present at the
City Club luncheon yesterday noon
and heard Mr.. L. A. Sothern talk to
several hundred members.
Consider the setting. The house
was one in which the Russian en-
bassy formerly lodged: and could
the walls have spoken they would
have told of intrigue, passion, ro-
nance and the comedy that goes
with statecraft. The presiding Of
ficer was a jurist of eminence, a
lIneal descendant of the great Sara
Siddons. The guests of honor were
L. A. Sothern and Roland Buck
stone, each the son of a renowned
British actor. Scattered about were
elderly men who had seen the giants
OF former days, notably Simon Wolf.
who was the host of Sothern the
elder and Laura Keene the day Lin
coin was shot.
Mr.. Sothern, silver-haired. ruddy-
checked, tastefully attired and with
mobile. wide-ranging eye, while
he ate sparingly, scanned the crowd
of business and professional men.
when he arose, he got a handS
His talk was reminiscent of school
and early professional experiences.
hortatory when it came to urging
public support of finer ideals of
teaching literature to children. and
admirably generous when it came
to praise of the work of rising
John Barrymore. His references to
his wife always were to Mrs. Soth-
ern." as became a husband.
Not for him unmeasured admira-
ton either of the Drama League
highbrow or unqualified denuncia-
tion of the profiteering manager
who grows rich on entertainment of
the masses. He does welcome most
heartily all education of children
in general for appreciation of the
best in dramatic literature: and
whether they have it or not, he will
not play down" to them when he
gets the chance, for he has found
that they see the fine points of the
play and of the actors art quite as
surely as do the critics or the adults
who go to his plays.
Equally hospitable is he to those
schools of stagecraft such as Har-
ward University and the Carnegie
School of Technology in this coun-
try and Toronto University in
Canada now support. In them
youth may get systematically and
with little expense what he and
his contemporaries had to fight for
empirically.
BY whatever means gained he
hopes most for a better theater
from a better informed and idealed
public. The community must live
up to its duties first; the stage will
follow after. Hence his delight at
the growing interest in cultural
values now found in clubs like the
City Club and the Rotary Clubs
(and he might have added the XII
wants organizations). First must
come encouragement of local play
ers and worthy travelling COM
panies; later temples of the thes-
plan art may be built. o..

FOREIGN ARMY PAY
EXCEEDS THAT OF u. S.

Despite the fact that practically
all the foreign governments have
found It necessary within the last
four years 70 make substantial in
creases in the pay allowed officers
in their armies, the United States
government, according to a recent
statement OF the Morale Branch of
the army, has neglected to make any
allowance for the enormously in
creased cost Of living in the pay of
army officers.
An increase of 100 per cent has
recently been allowed by the French
government to her army officers. and
between the years 1914 and 1920 the
British government increased the
pay of her officers from so to 200
per cent.
A second lieutenant in the British
army now receives from $3.50 to
$2.240. depending on his detail. In
1914 he received only 1854 to 1867.
In the French army a second lieu
tenant now receives from $1.0S0 to
$1,152. while in 1914 he received
from $47S to s64S.
An officer of equal grade in the
United States army received s2,100,
the same pay received in 1908.

Many Last Minute Entries.
A last minute batch of essays
and other material submitted In
The Washington Herald's Radio
Contest surprised the Radio Editor
last night. One day after the con-
test was announced completed es-
says, etc, began to arrive at The
Washington Herald. This kept up
daily, many of tho manuscripts
coming from distant States. 1t
seemed logical that only a dozen or
so entries would be received after
early yesterday evening. But such
was not the case.
The quality of the work sent in
was excellent and the judges will
doubtless have a lot Of difficulty in
selecting the winners.
Teachers Give Cooperation.
