AL K. HALL TRAINING
FOUR -YEAR-OLD SON

Al. X. Hall, the featured comedian

Gayety Theater this week. has been
rejected SO often by the military au-
thorities, that he shutters whenever
he passes a recruiting office or an
examining station.
An intensive course Of athletic ex-
ercise this summer failed to enable
Hall to realize his military ambition,
but he has one consolation. 1t is that
AL. h. Hall, jr., is today the pest
drilled four-year-old in the length
and breadth of Brooklyn's Thirteenth
ward.
Al. X. and AL. n, jr., got out In the
back yard of their Brooklyn nome
early every morning this summer
and while the senior male star OF inc
family went through the regular army
setting-up exercises, the Junior mem
Der did his best to follow parentsi eN-
ample.
Hall said he did the exercise stunts
to help put him I'm shape for service,
but his last hopes went skywaTd
when the news was gently shppeu 70
him from HIS local board before leaN-
ing home this season that he would

Con1ing:Back
Washington Friends of Great
Shakespearean Performers
Receive Glad News for
All Theatergoers.
q

Julia Marlowe and Il. II. SotheTn
are coming back to America They
have cancelled their plans to appear
In England and will be booked for
a tour OF the United States.
This is the glad news received ~
Washington friends OF the distin-
guished shakespearesn performers.
They will arrive in New York about
October Is. and after a week or so
viii be booked for a tour embracing:
most OF the large cities in this
country. Washington will probably
see'them late next spring.
The success of the eySothern-Marlowo
tour last season was remarkable. Al
previous records for attendance were
shattered during the frst week at
Polls here, and II was with regret
that theatergoers learned that no
more would the great company be
seen until the fall of 1921 at the
earliest. A whole season was 20 DO
spent in England.
Now comes the welcome informa-
tion that the plans have been
changed. The Sotherns will again ap-
pear in Shakespearean productions IN
America, and our cousins overseas
will have to wait.
Just what plays will be shown this
coming season is yet to be decided,
though Hamlet and Twelfth
Night" will very likely be in the
repertory. With THE Tanning of the
Shrew," they made up last seasons &

THE GAYETY.

The combination of AL X. Hall, &C.
centric comedian and THE Sporting
Widows" one of the principal attrac-
tions OF the Columbia burlesque cir
cult appears to foreshadow crowded
houses at the Gayety Theater this
week. Jacobs and Jermon. the we'll
known producers, are responsible for
the offering and have succeeded, 1t Is
said. in preparing a vehicle that fair
ly bubbles over with novelties of n
character that will keep the audience
in a merry mood. The burIesque Is
entirely new, and while II tells a
story of sufficient Importance to dig
Nifty 1t as such, in reality It simply
serves as an excuse for the introduce
tion OF the many novel and amusing
incidents and the rendition of many
musical numbers, the majority OF
which are of the catchy. whistle
able" type.
Comedy, OF course. Is the keynote
and AL. X. Hall, the chief inciter of
fun, runs true to form, in the lead
ing role. The supporting cast in

L. M. BELL MAKESAHIT
IN SOME CHARACTER BITS
Washington Man Developing Rapidly
With Garrick Players
in Stock

The Garrick Players, during the
summer run at the Shubert-Garrick
Theater, have been instrumental in
developing the acting talents Of sew
eral persons to whom the stage has
even been a magnet but who had
lacked up to the present season an
opportunity to display their ability.
The most notable developments of
the Garrick season. however. has
been the development as an actor of
l.. N. Bell. the producer of the sum-
mer shows at the Seventh and F
streets Theater. who has discovered
an ability for character parts far
above the average and who has made
that discovery after he had actually
convinced himself that he'd never be-
come an actor worth the electricity
that illuminated his countenance.
Mr.. Bells trouble in acting, during
the time he was assailing Broadway
and later during his transforming
days, was due to the fact that he
had been cast in juvenile parts or
so-called straight roles of thoroughly
orthodox acting requirements. Ii
remained for a character part he as
sumed in "A Prince There Was" to
reveal to the public the wealth of
ability Mr.. Bell possessed in char
acter acting.
In "A Prince There Was" he played
the part OF a motion-plcture super
numerary. who gathered a days work
at this and that studio and who con
sidered himself fortunate IL his face
showed on the film from the crowd OF
which he was part. At home, in his
boarding house, he talked Familiarity
Of the great and near-great in film
dom and was constantly taken down
by guests who doubted his ability.
Pronounced as was Mr.. Bells act
ing success in "A Prince There was.
he scored even a greater triumph N
last weeks Garrick version of The
Misleading Lady" with his interpreta-
tion of the part of harmless lunatic
who labored under the delusion thai
he was Napoleon at grips with We'll
lington before Waterloo. Originally
penned a comedy part, Mr.. Bells "
depreciation transcribed the mere
comedy of the characterization and
revealed. in several notable flashes OF
acting, the pathos that lies under all
comedy and which is often empha-
sized by contract with comedy.
Mr.. Bell will be seen again before
the close of the Garrick season
though he will not appear in the cas-,
of Daddy Longlegs," the Jean Web
ster classic that opens at the Garrick
tonight.

SIMPLICITY A KEYNOTE
OF HAMPDEN'S PLAYS

Simplicity will characterize the
stage settings for Walter Hampden's $
new productions of "The Merchant of
Venice" Romeo and Juliet" Tanning
of the Shrew" and Macbeth" which,
along with Hamlet" will comprise
the repertoire with which he will
visit this city next season.
Mr.. Hampden's physical production
of Hamlet" has been praised almost
as much as his portrayal of the title
role. Designed by Claude Bragdon, a
celebrated architect, 1t is simple in
outline and detail, but rich in its sug-
gestion of the period and the people
with which the great drama deals,
thus affording an appropriate but un-
obtrusive background for the action.
A similar plan is being pursued by
Mr.. Hampden in arranging his new
productions. While they will be far
removed from the bare austerity OF
the old Elizabethan settings. they
likewise will have nothing In COM
mon with the so-called spectacular or
scenic productions in which more
thought is given to stage trappings
and outward show than to the dra-
matte contents of the masterpieces.
While Mr.. Hampden does not go to
the extreme affected by some ad-
vanced art directors who have placed
set scenery entirely into the discard
and depend upon fiat surfaces, angles
and lines. or curtains, with appropri-
ate or wierd light effects, he does
hold that the old-style productions In
which the stage is cluttered with
scenery and furnishings are anti
uuated and inatristic.
Mr.. Hsmpden endeavors to make
the play itself the thing, with frst
stress laid upon the unfolding OF the
drama and the delineation ~ charac-
ter, and with all material accessories
confined to what will most effectively
enhance the acting and atmosphere.
The Washington times., 1920-08-15
Helen Hayes, Washington Girl
Comes As Feature In "Bab''

made a tremendous hit in Clarence,
but finally everyone was fixed up to
the queens taste, and Miss Hayes
stepped out of the role Of Cora
Wheeler and rehearsed Bah, and this
time it was the Boston critics and
public who proclaimed her the most
promis sing actress since Maude Adams
first flashed across the theatrical
horizon as Babs in THE Little Min
lister" in 1895.
The enervescent and irrepressible
fiapper, with her romance. her sensa-
tionalism, her extravaganza and elf
ishness. is a role to bid fair to place
Helen Hayes, the young eighteen
year-old girl, among the front row OF
American actresses.
Added to Miss Hayes charm is the
pretty plot of a story-the younger
sister fresh from a girls school; the
elder manageable sister, an ambt
tious mother, a pal sort of father
and an adoring young neighbor boy.
There are complications galore
when Miss Seventeen takes charge OF
affairs-the sort of complications that
bring laughter and at times hint of
tears.
Interest. too. will center in the ap-
pearance, as Carter Brooks, of Tom
Powers, a young American who won
distinction in the Canadian fighting
forces. and who created the principal
role in the London and New York pro-
ductions Of "Oh, Boy"
Others in particularly distin-
guished cast include: Sam Edwards
Percy Haswell, Arthur Eldred, Rober,
Hudson. stephen Davis, Lillian Ross
Helen Gurney, Edith King and James
Kearney.

The late James O'Neill was always
willing to admit that The Count of
Monte Cristo" owned him body and
soul. In explaining this dramatic
slavery to the role he said that he had
played it for twenty-four years, ap-
pearing in it 800 times, and that
the play had earned for him $500, 900.
His own story of the first appearance
was as follows:
John Stetson had talked of star
ring me in various plays. | hadn't
liked any of them. What will you do
then" I said, impatiently. II will
try to get Fechter's version of Monte
Cristo,"' said, and manage myself
L have a Fechter's version in my desk
at Boston. l will have you open in
that Now. said /, you're talking
business
when I arrived from San Francisco
after my long engagement with the
stock company there, Mr.. Stetson had
billed the play and myself, and l had
time only for three rehearsals. l
begged him to postpone the opening
for a week, but he said he couldn't.
Il know all the newspaper boys, and
will tell them that you had only three
rehearsals,' he promised. They will
understand and overlook crudities.'
But on the opening night he was busy
and forgot. The next morning the
papers were severe.
"One friend of mine on the press
dismissed us with three lines: Monte
Cristo' was produced last night.
James O'Neill Is not big enough to
play Edmond Dantes.' The critics
were right that time. I was bad. i
knew It. But / got at the play with
hammer and tongs. | rehearsed all
day in my rooms. BY the end of the
week the play was going well.
The public saved the life OF the
play. Monte Cristo ran for ten weeks
in New York. Then we went to Bos-
ton. Boston may be called the home
of Monte Cristo.' It always liked
the play, still likes Il. John Stetson
and I. looking over his old books dis
covered that for twelve years at an
average of twenty-five weeks a year.
It had earned $500 "A week. And
this, when the prices were dollar
and a dollar and half. That was
before the two-dollar day. / don't
believe that a higher charge should
be made for admission to any play
The Cincinnati Enquirer OF last
Wednesday says that in the produc-
tion of Monte Cristo," In 1888. the
it'll. role was played by Charles II.
Thovue, jr., who appeared on the first
night of the play in New York and
died the next day. Mr.. O'Neill, who
was a member OF the company, was
called upon to assume the role that
evening. And that was the beginning
of his long run In the Dumas play.
