he gets compensation adequate to the

BY Edwin H. Blanchard

It was, believe, that exquisite
pagan, Th6ophile Gautier, who declared
children the only adorable actors in
what he considered the sordid drama
Of life.
Speaking Of the drama, az Theophile
ALLOW allows ,io.. US so nicely to DO, there has
these psrfset actors e0%Rs ehdren '1ir linked
with the real stage Of the dazzling
signs and the grease paint by the ties
Of blood.
Up in tho now mildly "roaring
forties." in the Hotel Algonquin, which
has long been home for many Of the
theatrical profession, these children
play out their parts. accepting cues
only from Nature, the greatest
prompter Of them all For the benefit
OF the still unenlightencd, or for those
who are guided by an ancient and mori-
atrical these children are normal,
healthy, happy.
Yes, normal, healthy, happy. They
do not strike attitudes. Few Of them
soiiloquize over the morning oatmeal.
Almost uniformly they neglect to enter
the dining room of the Algonquin in
measured and dramatic stride. He
redity will be served, of course. Take
the diminutive Beverly Parker, the
daughter Of Albert Parker we'll known
director, and Margaret Green, who is
playing this season with Ethel Barry
more. Beverly Is engaged at present
in the fascinating pursuit of learning
the English language and the first two
words that she used were "Mike, taxi!"
Mike, be it known. is the large and
friendly doorman at the Algonquin. and
his name is among the first of the
words that the children of the Algon-
quin attempt, for they instinctively
know, long before they become articu-
late, that in Mike they have volun-
tary slave. Reverting to young Miss
Parker, it is said that her first yearn-
ings for luxurious transportation were
not encouraged.
At o'clock In the morning the
special table provided for the children
by Frank Case, proprietor of the AL
gonquin, is busy. There come William
De Wolf Hopper jr., young son of De
Wolf Hopper and Hedda Hopper; John
Drew Deveraux, grandson of John
Drew; Jimmy Benham. son Of Earle
Benham and nephew of Mrs. Raymond
Hitchcock; Dorothy Hyson, daughter
of Carl Hyson and Dorothy Dickson,
dancers; keenan, Wynn, who owns Ed
Wynn for a father and Frank Keenan,
for grandfather, and thereby derives
ms 1ull name, tne TWO uduBHteIS VI
Burton Green and Irene Franklin; Ma
rie Nordstrom's little girl, and less Of
ten there are added Ethel Barrymore's
children, Ethel, Samuel and Jack Colt.
Out in the kitchen Of the Algonquin,
in the mean time, there is a special chef
to provide these children with the
exact and proper breakfast for each;
this is only striking instance Of an
attention that has its motive force in
Mr.. Cases love for children. The AL
gonquin is "home" to the theatrical
son; the connection between that fact
and the marked attention that Mr.. Case
gives the children of the Algonquin we
must leave to Theophile Gautier, who
introduced the subject.
Back to the breakfast table. There,

Gilbert Miller's American
Wife and English Producer
Laud Theater i'm the u. s. 4.

Stanley Bell, producer for Gilbert
Miller at St. James's Theater, London,
Is here for kpusman's holiday, during
which he hop68 to gather up some more
OF the ideas which Mr.. Miller has intro
duced so successfully in the British
capital. Mrs. Miller, who goes to Paris
frequently from London whenever she
hears of good play there, is also
here. Together they are spending
most of their time in the theaters, seek
ing more plays for Mr. Miller to pro-

Englishman, with CRAVING hair, who
came out of the war lieutenant colo
Cross, is on his first visit to America
and marvels at the excellent arrange
ments Of the American theaters he has
been In since his arrival with Mrs.
Miller on the Adriatic.
The sight lines are perfect. AS far
as mechanical equipment backstage is
concerned, the English theaters have
nothing to compare with the American
theaters. They are beginning to look
around in England, where they have
been too conservative to adopt the new
ideas for labor saving devices in the
face of rapidly mounting costs. They
want to save money without losing any
effects, and they will have to adopt
modern means to do 500
ut is child's play to produce play
if the producer is permitted to design
his own scenery. But the manager
must have faith in his producer. How
many managers have this and will give
him free hand?" he asked.
THAT is why Mr.. Miller has been so
successful in London" added Mrs. Mil
ler, "because he has put so much trust
in Mr.. Bells ability"
Just now Gilbert Miller is resting in
London after a season Of Gilbert and
Sullivan at the Princess. He is also
completing plans for the erection of
two new theaters. Both Mr.. Bell and
Mrs. Miller think that his knowledge
of the theater is as cosmopolitan a one
as can be found. Besides his knowl-
edge of the English and American
theaters, he knows the French, the
Italian and the Russian theater.

some English successes in the SPRING y

Woman Author-Director Try
To Help New Playwrights
Who Have Worth While Ideas

Back in Milton. Ky, little girl was
playing with group of children about
her own age. They were acting" she
was "directing"
Don't you move until I tell you to.
| don't care what you say" she pfped
in her childish voice. "When YOU
walk. go only as far as that stump"
That little girl is now Mrs. Lillian
Trimble Bradley. She is still direct
iag, not in Kentucky, but on Broadway
as general stage director for George
Broadhurst and has just put on her
the Playhouse.
Its the hardest thing in the world
to put on your own play" the stage
director and playwright said on the
morning following the opening. IA di-
rector who is worth while must be in a
position to give as much as the author
toward the success of play. He can
90 as much to make or mar play as
the author and has but two or three
weeks in which to do it, while the au-
thor has unlimited time. A playwright
discusses his play with the director.
The latter asks questions, the author
interprets the play and gets the view
point of the public, which counts more
than anything else, from the direc-
tors analysis. If the author can read
the play to the director, even better
effects can be obtained"
This is Mrs. Bradley's first year as
a general stage director in New York.
She has studied lighting in France and
Russia and has also put on plays
abroad. The chance Of mistake adds
much to the suspense of an opening
night, she believes.
IF we could do first night by push
ing button, if we could have the
scenes set by electricity, the lights per-
feet and precisely where we want them,
dummies, who would say exactly what
we want them to say, as actors, with
no chance of mistake, l don't think
