William A. Brady Hints at
Retiring and Making Son

TIME other night William A. Brady
proudly presented his twenty
year-old son, w. a. Brady. Jr..
to some of his old professional friends
who had gathered to witness the open
ing Of the season at the Playhouse.
Gentlemen" said Mr. Brady. Il

There was chorus of protest

one of the group.
I'm not so sure" answered Mr.
Brady. You know in November / am
sailing with Mrs. Brady for Japan. It
may possibly-mind l don't say 1t will
but it might possibly happen as soon
as that"
Then Mr.. Brady smiled one of the
knowing smiles which frequently
adorned his face that night. The re-
porter of THE NEW York HERALD asked
the manager why he had written that
he meant to postpone all his openings
until September and then began on the
hottest night In July.
Some OF these young managers,
these skylarks"-Mr. Brady glanced in
the direction Of the Belmont Theatre

number-an old timer. So / just

Her boy Is a healthy and vigorous
youngster, and his stup-tathor seems
devoted to him.
Then why 10 the world can't she
drop, ahelye, ignore the last feOg years
in her life, which surely must have
held more pain than happiness? Why
should she seek ON the stage the con-
spicuous place which her art never
has won for her, and which. It seems
fair to assume, will be accorded to her
only by a public mOrbidly doairous Of
contemplating the aeHoine Of such q
romance?
She has declared her sons interasta

Henry Anthony Marsh has a
mother who loves him deyOted!y. HI
now, IL appears, is to have q father
who will be fond and proud OF him.
Therefore, he not only does not need

a fortune he will have an inhn. tely

CCNH, what's the use" said a
young woman TO me the
other day. II can't ever get
anywhere. I'll never be cultured or
cultivated. Ny environment is against
me. do not have the right condi-
tions surrounding me. see It all be-
cause I have a chance TO see and
know better things, and cultivation IS
not for the likes of'me."
l have heard many girls talk like
thig-and men, too. 1t is the worst
kind Of fallacy for any one to assume
that they can't rise above conditions
no matter what they are-especiaIy
in this country
You may not be Cble to get as much
Of this worlds goods, but any one can
get much Of this worlds good.
No matter where you are, or what
you are, you can cultivate yourself.
II you don't believe this, II you think
you are very. very poor and you hGvo
no chance and you seem all huddled
up in some congested corner and cry
because you cannot conquer, then go
10 the nearest free library and read
the histories OF the men and women
who rose from nothing because they
persisted and persevered and made
something OF themselves.
In truth, there IS hardly a man or
q woman who has made footprints
on the sands OF time" but who SEEM
ingly had the worst handicap with
little or nothing as It we're. But they
did the most with that little or moth
ing.
How did they do it? First, they re-
duccd their misery TO a minimum
Most suffering, after all, Is selt-pity
q forIa OF sorrow that ono lnhlcts on
ono's seS.
You know that you can take the
poorest surroundings, shine them up
make them clean, insist on order, and
make them almost attractive and
even artistic.
II you don't believe this, witness the
moving picture play that shows some
great soul in a common log cabin, OF
a simple bit OF a house, and you al.
most wish you were that person.
Why?
Because such a one has pe-lneatsd
that atmosphere with the fineness
and biEness of the person himself
