Margaret Anglin Links the
Drama and Home, and SAYS
Classics Must Be Known

my country home outside of New York
little way as is possible"
Her appearance at the Harris Theater
will be the first in New York for a year
and nine months, the longest time since
the beginning of her varied career that
she has remained away from New York
at is like getting back home, indeed"
she went on. "And the thing that is
taking up lot of my time is trying to
decide whether those chairs and lounges
and bowls and draperies in that scene
are going to pass muster here in the big
city. They've weathered storm of
many months in the West and on tour
not few Of which were very, very short
stands, and they look bit the worse
for wear. But we shall see how they
look after they are placed properly.
81 always try to look as nicely when
come to New York as is possible. It's
home, you see. And we always like to
look at our best at home"
And the fact that she is preparing to
present "The Woman in Bronze" to New
York audiences recalls the fact that last
season in San Francisco she played in
this piece four weeks, each perform
ance being to a capacity house, and
ended her run there only because of con-
tracts that called her away.
"Miss Anglin could have continued for
many more weeks in San Francisco in
this play" according to theatrical pro-
Queer who saw her work in California
last year, chad she so desired. And that
is unusual, considering the fact that San
Francisco is a 'two-week' city"
One of the principal reasons, no doubt,
for the popularity of Miss Anglin in
New York, as we'll as elsewhere, is that
she supervses the arrangements for her
stage settings in each of the productions
in which she is the leading character
At the Harris Theater this week, for ex-
ample, she has devoted most of her time
proper hang of pictures, the exact spot
it which lounges and rugs should be
placed in her scenes, and generally see
ing to it that things are as she believes
they should be for the best effect.
THAT is one of my hobbies" she says,
Containing the very best assistance in
the matter of stage arrangements pos
sible / believe there is quite a great
deal in the proper staging of play"
With her wraps flung over the back
Of an orchestra seat, she digs into" the
business of stage effects, first trying a
scene "set" in this way and then in an
other, until she is perfectly satisfied
with its appearance.
Her husband, Howard Hull, a maya
zine writer, who generally is beside her,
adds suggestions, and says few words
about his wife while she is not listen
ing.
And then when he is out Of her sight
Miss Anglin will say:
"TeN me-what did my husband say
about me-? Tell me, please. He some
times is more enthusiastic about me than
| am about myself

Stage 'SMother' Difficult
To ortray Because of SO
Many Emotions Involved

One mightn't think it-there being
so many mothers scattered around
through this country of ours-but, if
we are to take the word Of one who
ought to know, we must admit that
the character part of an American

portray properly on the stage of any

with them and teach them and care for

in "Irere." at the Vanderbilt Theater,
might be cXaggerating somewhat. But
she declares she isn't.
"Io portray the American mother, be
she rich or poor says Miss Walters,

"The opposite would be true if any

Powerful contrasts can be noticed be-

puts it, to see the Greek plays. to war.

"Why.' she will say, chow shall GU,

Shakespeare? Isn't that enough to keep
ii forever on its present high plane, OF
even to send it higher? 1t is they who
follow the drama who must be awakened
and who must demand more and appre-
ciate more"
She would Ike it very much, if you
please. if she could see persons over the
footghts discussing her work as she
proceeds (not audibly. of course and
indicating that they like her work, or
dislike It, as the case may be. This, of
course, would be preferred only if she
were reasonably confident that they
knew whereof they spoke.

Reading Of the old classics would go
far toward placing New York men and
women in a position to properly crit
cize her acting of the leading parts in
the stage productions, and she would
advise that much time and really earnest
effort be put forth by those who wish to
get the most out Of them.
The words Of Walter Damrosch, who
composed special music for her plays in
California, may serve to assist those who
are undecided as to whether they will
see Miss Anglin in her revivals. He
said, after she had concluded her en-
gagement in the West:
"Not in our generation has a ira
intensity of expression been seen on our
stage as Miss Anglin proves herself to
be in these great roles of Electra and
Nedea. One must look up the old rec
and Mrs. Siddons in order to do justice
to her work at the Greek theater in CAL
ifornia. She literally held her immense
audiences spellbound and thrilled them
10 an intensity of excitement which l
have scarcely ever seen before"
Friends of Miss Anglin are of the
opinion that she will be seen in her
greatest power in the presentation of
these plays in New York this year, and
already communications are being re-
ceived by her at her home and her head
quarters in Aeolian Hall from through
out the country inQuiring as to exact
dates on which she will appear.

said smilingly, as she stood in the dark

ture of the first act of The Woman Of
Bronze" And | am trying to snatch
