Making the Author Yield

When George Marion acquired
the task of staging Dorothy
Dixie Lee" he entered upon his
duties with the same methodical
care which has characterized the
many productions staged under his
direction and he also anticipated a
great deal of pleasure in creating
the role Of ''Zachariah." an old ne
gro slave.
Following the early rehearsals
and during the process of perfect
ing the players in their various
roles Mr.. Marion rather confidently
passed up" the scenes in which
John Henry" was to appear and.
until the day OF the dress rehearsal,
continued to procrastinate with
that optimism which gives no
thought TO trouble.
In Mr.. Edward Locke's play John
Henry is a hoLn' deg which Miss
Dorothy Dixie Lee brings from her
secluded home in Virginia to her
relatives in New York, and to add
a bit of realism to the scene. Mr..
William Norris commissioned his
executives to secure a real houn'
dog.
DR.. Potter, the Official veterinary
OF the New York Hippodrome, sup
piled the animal. Promptly on the
cue, Miss Dorothy Dixie. her Nam
my 'Lisbeth and retinue entered
upon the scene but John Henry" re-
fused to bulge. In desperation Mr.
Morris spoke to the animal in his
best Harry Lauder Scotch: Miss
Taliaferro cooed to him in her best
Virginia dialect and the quartet
OF colored singers beloved at him
in their best darkey tones but John
Henry" remained adamant Then
they sent for the author and Mr.
Locke forthwith re-wrote John
Hen,y's part to conform with his
belligerent attitude and now they
speak OF the houn' dog as being
homesick for Virginia and entire
ly unwilling TO accept the hospital
ity of Dorothy DiXie's Northern rel
atiTes."
For the past few years il has be-
come an undisputed fact that stars
cannot make a play. and in conse-
quence each year finds the list OF
stars less and less. A large ma
jority of successes from an artistic
point of view. as we'll as from a
financial one, have been starless OF
late, and Robert Milton. that inim-
liable stage director who put on

Allan Dwan probably would have
found himself in a position similar
to that of the builders of the Tower
of Babel, when he was filming THE
Luck of the Irish," had it not been
for the excellent service of a score
or more interpreters.
The story moves from New York
to Gibraltar, Venice. Naples, Cairo
and Singapore. In filming the many
scenes laid in the various parts Of
the earth it was necessary to use
Chinese. Japanese, French. Italians,
Spaniards, Arabians and Siamese.
To be able to handle these people
in an effective manner 1t was neces-
sary to secure interpreters who not
only spoke the native tongues of the
participants in the scenes, but such
who could be relied upon to convey
to those they were working with
exactly what was expected of them.
Many of the people in these scenes
had never worked in motion pictures
before. In between scenes they par
ticipated in the games of their ma
tive lands and told stories of the
days before they came to America.
When The Luck of the Irish," the
film version of Harold MacGrath's
novel, opens its weeks engagement
at Moore's Strand Theater today,
few in the audience will realize the
amount of tact as well as genius
that was required on the part of
Mr.. Dwan to present in pantomime
these many big scenes of foreign
parts in which foreigners partici-
pated.

THERE Is A REASON WHY

There is no reason why Ardmore
should not be just as good "A town as
Tulsa" remarked a man a few days
ago, upon his return from the metropo-
lis of northeastern Oklahoma.
That man was mistaken, although
he did not know it. He reasoned that
Ardmore, the gateway Of the greatest
oil pool in all Oklahoma, surrounded
by some of the best agricultural land
in the state. with bank clearings show
ing her TO be city Of great wealth,
should show no cause why 1t would
not equal-possibly outstrip Tulsa
that no real reason could be advanced
showing why Ardmore could not be-
come the second city in Oklahoma,
as we'll as being the metropolis of the
south part of the state.
| Looked at specifically, there is no
reason; taken in the abstract there
is no reason, but taken in the con-
crete there is a reason, q big reason,
most material reason, u reason which
can be remedied by Ardmore people
alone, 81 reason which offers prob
lem which only Ardmore people can
solve.
And that reason, harsh though 1t
may sound and much as we may hate
to give it voice, lies in lack Of real
enterprise.
The people of Tulsa, like the people
Of Oklahoma City, are a livewire
bunch who stop at nothing, in the
enterprise and pushing line, which
will put their town across. They
never die, and when things are dull
and dead they swear they are alive
and, becoming self-imbued with the
idea that they are really alive, they
put forth their best efforts and soon
the lethargy OF dullness passes and
the wheels buzz around with renewed
energy and speed.
And that is just what the people Of
Ardmore will have 10 do if they wish
10 see this community develop into
Il real city, become q real trade CEN
ter, the home of factories and the
distributing point for the vast trade
terrioDry which is tributary to this
Town.
1t takes money to make money. 1t
takes money TO develop. 1t takes
enterprise, public spirit, get-up-and-git
to remove the hoodwink of selfishness
from the eyes Of those who hate to
jar loose and cause them to loosen
their purse.strings.
Ardmorc may organize and reorgan'
ize all the chambers of commerce un-
der the sun, and employ all the com
mercial club secretaries which may
be found between her and the gates
of Jericho, but until the rank and
file of those who talk loud and spend
small can be made to see the error
of their ways, Ardmore will never
equal Tulsa.
The opportunity is here, knocking
at the door, hammering at the gate
threatening to break the windows, but
opportunity must have the loosenet
purse-string before il can do the
greatest good.
