Compares American
and English Casts

Comparison Of American and Eng
lish playing and play production is con-
slant, but because of conditions Of time
and place 1t is only once in decade
or such matter that conditions change
from the abstract to the concrete. Such
a condition presents itself In the play.
"a Bill Of Divorcement." the work of
Miss Clemence Dane, the Englishwoman,
who was staged both in England and
in America by the same man-Basil
Dean-which Is playing at the same
time-in London at st. Martins Theater
and in New York at the Times Square
Theater-under conditions which are
Identical. The settings, 1t also may
be mentioned. are Identical. =
Allan Pollock. English actor, who Is
the star of "A Bill of Divorcement' and
who saw the English production for
many performances, has drawn inter-
estng comparisons in the art Of Miss
Katharine Cornell. who plays the role
of Sydney Fairfield. Charles Waldron.
who plays the role of Gray Meredith,
and Miss Janet Beecher. who plays the
role of Margaret Fairfield in America
as opposed to Miss Maggie Albanesl. c.
Aubrey Smith and Miss Lillian Braith-
waite. respectively OF st. Martins COM
pany.
while Miss Cornell Is an American
girl. her performance In the role OF
Sydney Is more typically Anglo-Saxon."
he says. than that of Miss Albanesi.
who Is of Italian parentage. Miss Cor
nell gives performance which has
all of the characteristics of the English
girl of the age and surroundings she
is expected to portray. Her perform
ance Is moro virile and perhaps a
little more finished. She has strange
power over her audiences, something L
have seen few actresses of her years
and experienc accomplish.
"Mr. Waldron was my first choice
for the role of Gray Meredith. I was
attracted to him several seasons ago
when he was playing in London in
Daddy Longlegs.' and went to see him
several times while he was In London.
He bore certain resemblance in technic
to Sir Charles Wyndham in his younger
days. and I was anxious for him to play
in America. Like Miss Cornell, he gives
a performance which Is more vigorous
than that of his London contemporary.
] think It Is rightly so for an American
public, and that he has sensed the
timber which would have the greatest
American appeal. In England he might
be justified in playing closer to the
key of Mr. Smith.
"The performance of Miss Beecher Is
essentially emotional. She possesses a
vitality that is typically American. and
which, of course. Is not approached by
our English actresses. The English per-
formance is given with certain re-
straint that might not be accepted here,
and with compelling sympathy.
"The English and the American casts
OF a Bill of Divorcement are both
capable, and 1 would not wish to create
the impression that my company Is SUI
- t.l, ralx
because II happens to be my company.
In England Miss Cornell, Mr.. Waldron
and Miss Beecher-all Americans by
birth---would play closer to the English
method But they have sensed the right
key for America"

National Players
Would Open Stage
to New Writers
Chance for Any Manuscript on
Merit Is Announced by
Organization.

The New National Players. Inc, an
nounce that they do not intend to devote
all their time to reviving accepted mas
terpieces. American playwrights. both
those who have made their mark and
those who are aspiring to their first uro-
duction. will be given an opportunity to
submit their efforts to the cooperative
group Of stage stars who have opened
their season with ''Trilby' at tho Ma
t.onal Theater.
This announcement was made By the
incorporators of the repertory company
Wilton Lackaye. George Nash. Ed
mond Lowe ana Harry Mestayer.
1--WE intend to give new plays. as well
as the best known of tho classics" Mr..
Mestayer said, as the spokesman for the
group. mo author will be too obscure
to get a reading from US. and II his
work merits such action we Will begin
work on the production as soon as pos
sible."
Here Mr. Mestayer. who Is playing
Gecko in "Trilby," was reminded that
the policy of the National Players had
been announced to be that no produc-
tion would be given for more than four
weeks. regardless of its success.
"Supposing," he was asked. that you
accepted a new play by one Of the most
prominent playwrights. and 1t proved
a great success? 1t would be folly to
take 1t off. and the playwright would
probably object strenuously.'
I'VE have provided for just that con-
tingency," he replied. IF such proves
to be the case, we will keep up the run
without break. The procedure will be
simple. We will move the production to
another theatre, retaining the outstand-
ing players-those who have made the
greatest successes in their roles-and
neither the new play nor the play to
replace it will meet with any inter-
ference"
1t is hoped to interest playwrights to
the extent that they will become fre-
quent contributors to the National Play
ers, and already several have pledged
themselves to assist the cooperative
company in it's effort to provide good
plays for New York at reasonable
prices.
