BANKERS SEE
BETTER TIMES
AHEAD IN u. S.
$500 Financiers in Los Angeles
Believe Business Is
Stabilized.
REPLACE WASTE WEALTH

LOS ANGELES. Calf., Oct, 4.-Thirry-
banks with resources OF more than
$50, COX, 100000 today rejoiced at the
cheerful prospect that better and brighter
business days for the United States are
just around the corner.
Presenting a country wide economic
survey, prepared after months of careful
observation by experts in every section
of the country, John S. Drum, president
Of the American Bankers Association, told
the delegates to the forty seventh an
nuaI convention Of the organization that
influences preventing the restoration of
stable conditions are disappearing" Mr.
Drum also said in his address:
There is nothing in our domestic
situation nor in the industrial situation
that can sustain a pessimistic outlook or
Respondent view that the world has
sunk into permanent depression"
PURCHASING POWER
Is RECOVERING.
The analysis from every nook and
corner of the country also showed
President Drum said, that "as prices
moved toward stability on an equitable
basis, the full purchasing power that is
Il necessary prerequisite Of normal pros
perity is being recovered.
steadily, as social and political con-
ditions abroad improve, the wealth
wasted In war is being replaced and
foreign countries are working to rebuild
the productive capacity that measures
their ability to consume, and as foreign
production increases world markets for
American goods are being reopened."
According to Drum three influences
have served in the last year to retard
proper solution of America domestic
and economic problem.
INFLUENCES THAT
RETARD BUSINESS.
The first" he said, as the mis-
taken idea that the process of re-
adjustment is a struggle between pro-
ducers and that each group IS capable
of improving its own condition at the
expense of the others and is striving
to attain prosperity by keeping the
other fellow down.
The second is the mistaken idea
that legislation can defect the opera
ton of economic laws so as to benefit
particular groups and the tendency 20
let the enactment Of legislation be
guided by political expedicncy rather
than by sound economic requirements.
The third is the tendency to coin

Simonson Sees Large
And Eager Audiences
AT London's ssOld Vic

At least one man, Lee Simonson, OF
the Theater Guild, has come back from
visiting the theaters of Europe withouu
muddling issues by generalities when
he tells of his impressions. He is en-
thusiastic and eager to dwell on the
fine things he saw, and the stage tech
nique, which in some cases, he says,
is an Improvement on anything we
have, but he declines to sum up for
the interviewer and draw conclusions
to make things easy.
He will not, for instance, answer the
question, "Did you find any Theater
Guilds in Europe, and what were they
like ?" But he will tell how, when the
English theater seemed to be suffer
ing from a dc preston similar TO that
in our own, he went to an out OF the
way house that was packed to the
doors, and whose audiences seemed to
initiate the subscribers Of the Theatef
Guild by their loyalty to the manage
men6's ideals, their constancy OF at
tendance and their enthusiasm.
It was ST. John Ervine who took Mr.
Simonson across the Thames to the IN
fashionable side where the cavernous

only eight rows of reserved seats, aho
even these are very cheap. The res'
of the house is unreserved and the
price Of admission is low. The gallery

Mr.. Simonson. As the "0id VIC" 49,

Duse Again Shows Her Superb
Art i'm Praga's s'The Open Door,

/ ian actress, rs there is no one who has
touched her in acting and depth, Just
as now no one has her finish.
In "The Lady of the Sea" she held
her audience, though her interpreta-
ton of the leading role was Of an
older woman than the usual Lidia. To
please Roman audience is not an
easy matter, and yet all agreed after
her temperance that the Duse had
not lost her art Her voice still re-
tains its righteousness and her figure
is slim, while every action is that of
woman many years younger.
Eleonora Duse comes Of family of
actors, her grandfather, Luigi, having at
one time been the head of TRAVELLING
troupe of Venetian actors who toured
the province with repertoire of Col
dinls plays. 1t was while they were
touring, her grandfather, her father,
Alexander Cappelletto, and her mother,
Angelica, that baby Eleonora was born
in railway carriage near Venice. Her
life from babyhood was sad one, owing
to the poverty Of her parents, who intro
duced the child to stage life at the age
OF four, when she took the part of
Corsette in Victor Hugo's Lies Mise
rabies" This hard life left its trace
on Eleonora, who at the age Of fourteen
on the death of her mother, had the re-
sponsibility of looking after her father
1t was only when she reached the age
OF twenty that it was discovered that
she had q great talent for acting.
She was given a chance in the com
pany OF Cesari Rossi, whose leading lady
was Giacinta Pezzana, an actress of the
old conventional school. Under her
training the young girl rose to promi-
nence and soon became leading lady of
the company. Her passionate and emo
tional acting caught the fancy of the
Florentine public, who called her the
new spirit of the stage. 1t was when she
went to Turin to act that she met Sarah
Bernhardt, whose repertoire she adopted
in her tour abroad and throughout Italy
Dumas, whose play. "Thc Princess of

wide fame. But her art was perfected
after she commenced producing Ga
briele d'Annunzio's plays. 1t was then
that they planned to start a classic the

Italian classics would be given, but,
owing to lack of funds, the scheme was
dropped.

from INC 1Ts0naeS s EufOpedT Bureau
ROME, Nov. 2T.-Eleonora Duse's re-
turn performance in Rome, after many
years, was a success, though on that
evening a general strike was declared
which, under ordinary circumstances,
would have prevented many from at
tending. Her first play, Ibsen's Lady
OF the Sea- which to Roman audi
ence might not have appealed owing
to its foreign setting, was enjoyed by
cosmopolitan audience many of whom
had seen her in the role before. Seats
had been booked for a month in ad-
vance and the late comers were forced
to wait until the next performance.
But one might say that the Duse's
greatest triumph was at her second
performance, when Marco Praga's ''Thc
Open Door, was given.
Eleonora Duse took the part of the
TOO fond mother who sacrificed even
her peace of mind for her son, Giulio.
The play, though written ten years
ago, still retains it's place as one Of
the strongest, most moving dramas of
this clever Italian playwright. The
Duse as the passionate, loving mother
was specially dramatic in the scene in
which her son discovers that the man
he despises is not his legitimate father.
The story is as follows:
Blanca, when a mere girl, marries
the worldly Hippolyto Querceto, man
with hundred strings to his bow. He
leaves his wife alone every evening,
often telling his friend, Decio, to come
in and keep her company. When his
son is born he recognizes him as his
own. The boy grows up and suddenly
discovers that his mothers husband is
not in reality his father. The scenes
where he insists on leaving home and
journeying to Africa with an explorer
friend are full Of passion and emotion
as his mother at first refuses to allow
him to leave the parental roof. When
the boy confesses that he has discov-
cred IL. secret the mother, Blanca
Querceto, realizes that she has lost
her son forever.
The play was written by Marco
Praga at the age OF sixty years, about
ten years ago, and Eleonora Duse was
playing it for the first time when she
has just passed that age. 1t will re-
main the gem of her repertoire of this
year. 1t was Praga's masterpiece and
will probably be the one play in which
Duse will always appeal to every audi
ence in the world. Where the Ibsen
play will appeal to foreign audiences
"The Open Door" will touch the hearts
of all Italians. The company with
Duse is composed Of finished actors
and actresses. Naturally all are de.
voted to Duse, and she is probably the
actress who has done most for ali
those connected with the stage.
Duse's return was quite the event
of the theatrical season. Though hel
life has been sad one, probably hel
greatest and happicst hours have been
when she has portrayed one of he.
roles. Her magnetism and wonderful
personality still capture the Italian
tbeatergoing public, while she is the
idol of all those who love tragedy in
/ poetic form. Though many years have
passed since the days of her great tri.
umph, she still retains her wonderfully
artistic temperament and still remains
the grcatest Italian actress of modern
; Italy. She will always remain the Hal

Queer Things Happen to Actors
I'm Their Varying Experiences

Would you believe that two players
could appear in the same play for an
entire season and never know one an
other? Impossible as it sounds, that is
exactly what happened to Estelle Win
wood and Robert Rendel when they
were under the management of Win
throp Ames and appearing in "Hush." !"
Of course, no such intimate relation
ship existed between Miss Winwood
and Mr.. Rendel in that play as exists
between them in "The Circle In
this production they are husband and
wife, meeting often and-painfully.
But in "Hush" Miss Winwood appeared
in the main part of the play, while Mr..
Rendel was cast only in the prologue
and cpilogue, and they were never in
troduced during the entire engagement.
"But that by no means presents the
queerest thing that ever happened to
me in the theater," says Mr.. Rendel.
