Highest Realism Is
Called For i'm the
Writing of Farce

Lynne Overman, who has made a
pronounced hit in Gust Married" as
a tlpsy young man who goes on a
honeymoon alone, has theory of act
ing which is as widely different from
the one usually held by actors as is
his own conception of himself as an
actor.
Just Married is farce and it has
succeeded in spite of that fact" he
SAID. IF You will recall the names
of the farces that have been produced
for the last ten years or as far back
as you are able-to go you will find that
the majority of them were failures or
near failures. Yet managers keep right
on producing farces. They do this be-
cause every once in a while farce sue
ceeds, and when it really succeeds YOU
can present it for a term of wears and
send out any number of road companies
"A successful farce will clear more
money than any other kind of success.
l. suppose this is so because the ma
Jority of the human race want to
laugh, but it must be spontaneous
laughter and it must have some real
reason. Therefore it is necessary in
a farce to have all of the basic work
of the structure entirely natural. Then
when the humorous distortion is put
upon it, it merely seems laughable
truth.
Il have been speaking of the writing
OF 1arce' Its playing is similar to the
'The actor must be entirely
natural in his method. For instance.
the gently intoxicated Robert Adams in
Just Married is entirely natural. That
is what makes it funny. It would be
very easy to spoil the whole effect by
overdoing it on the writing and acting
sides"

Ambitious Youth
Pins Starry Hopes
To Gus Edwards

Gus Edwards, song writer and pro-
ducer, is also maker of stars. In the
discovery of talent he is a composi+e
of Sherlock Holmes, Hawkshaw and Old
Sleuth.
Edwards's productions are generally
of the juvenile variety, and his casts,
therefore, are composed Of PLAYERS of
extreme youth. Thus, specializing in
fresh talent, he has probably developed
more clever youngsters than any other
producer of his type.
Many of the popular singers. dancers
and comedians of the contemporary
stage began their training under Mr..
EDWARDS and owe an appreciable part
Oh their success to his patience and
ability. Wherefore the youngsters of
his newest Song Revue, which tops the

with star dust.
