It's the Cook That Has
the Heart Appeal

TNRANCES STARR who plays
II the part OF Sally, the engaging
cook. in Capt. Edward Knob
locks remarkable sex drama,
Tiger! Tiger!" which will be seen
at the Brandeis this week, has
opinions quite as convincing as
Meredith who long ago avowed
civilized man can't live without
cooks"
I'm choosing a cook as the hero
OF his piece" the star of the play
said recently. "the playwright chose
the primitive woman, and the
kitchen OF today comes nearer be-
ing the background OF such a type
than any place in the modern home.
In tact It seems to me that the
kitchen is now the one and only
place in the home where woman is
absolutely and always her true self.
There she reverts to type and one
sees her as she is without any of
the externals that mean so much
to woman--only because she
thinks they mean so much to a
man.
THE kitchen in a house it seems
to me. is somehow its heart--its
throbbing, beating center of activity.
We can live without drawing rooms
and libraries, without boudoirs and
dressing rooms, even at pinch we
can make-shift somehow for a bed
room, but there must be kitchen
if it is to be a home.
There never was real woman"
Frances Starr continued. who
wasn't at heart cook. 1t is the
woman nature to wish to minister
to man, and food in this life is
the first necessity to mans happi-
ness and we'll being.
Again if Sally had been
stenographer, or say a bookkeeper,
the play could never have hap
pened. Knoblock knew his types.
He knew the appeal that the
healthy and splendid vitality Of the
country girl made to the blase man
of the town. He was sick of
mentality. Fed up on theories, and
consequently a victim marked FOR
the first all feminine primitive wom-
an who crossed his path-and of
course the affair was all the more
inevitable when the man in the case
met her in the spring moonlight,
near where lilacs were in bloom.
II worked longest on my make
up for the part" Miss Starr said.
The blonde hair is not my own
touched up as many seem to think.
1t is a golden wig. 1t makes me
rounder. more mature. And that is
my idea of Sally. She is nearest
like Tess and she comes from that
part of the country. ! have tried

1t is not. on the whole, an i'm

kaye has labored earnestly and
brought forth masque for children
and patriotic holidays that misses
the holding quality Of drama. 1t
serves to humanize and creditably
to visualize the father OF his coun-
try and there are moments when it
flares with the inspiration of great
historical moments. But generally
it is crude and choppy and does not
compare with John Drinkwater's
drama Of Abraham Lincoln"

Jumping back to Mount Vernon,
we find the loyal Martha buckling

with obvious smirks at the audience,
he is so earnest and so gentle in his

He is, not to use more space in
saying so, a great Richard in being

to be himself gives new life to an
old tragedy that only such treat

this particular generation Of play

In the version of the tragedy That
has been patched together for Mr..
Barrymore's use, FIVE scenes arc
taken from the preceding play of
King Henry VI" They are used
as sort of sketchy prologue. with
the hope, no doubt, of clarifying for
a modern audience the situation as it
affected the houses of Lancaster and
York at the moment of Richards de-
termination to cleave his way to the
throne. Thus a couple Of slightly

In general. however, the added

much as they clear up the story, and
add little that the older acting ver-

the first act the, tragedy proper is
played, the action around Richard
exclusively. Let the classicists quar-
rel as to whether or not they were
wisely made.
The cast is mostly English and
thoroughly competent. 1t includes
Leslie Palmer as Buckingham, E.

simplicity of the inner scenes and
the massiveness of the tower. At
the end CT the second act Ethel and

He plays Richard with the same
zest that, as = young cartoonist, he
drew weirdly grotesque and fascin-
atingly misshapen humans. He ex-
tracts a certain joy from dragging
the shortened leg, weighted with
armor; in favoring the withered
arm, and in bending forward, when
the situation is right, so the crooked
back may add its bulge to the pic
ture. Occasionally, when the scene
and the speech appeal to him he is
apt to forget his deformities and to
stand erect, defying all and sundry,

He fairly dotes on the scraggly
black wig that changes completely
his expression and the lines of his
finely chiseled features.
He is not a strong Richard, in a
physical sense. He could not have
been a terror in the field, nor slain
reasonably whole groups of his ar
mored enemies. He is crafty, sim
lister, deccitful, subtle, and is careful
to make it plain that from his quar-
rel with the fate that sent him into

Last year Derrill Pratt of the New

his career During the season of 1919
he had been in a bad slump. he 1efl
off SO much in his fielding and hitting,
that the New York club considered
him as a trade possibility. When the
team started the spring training trip
he was regarded as merely a subst1-
tute. 1t was figured that Ward, Peck.

comprise the New York infield.
{ Then Fewster was hit on the mead
by a pitched ball and put out OF the
running. 1t was necessary that Pratt

ately started to play the game of his
life: His work was one OF the 1ea-

Ping Bodie was also considered out OF

outfielders gave him another chance
