Portrays Abraham Lincoln.

FRANK McGLYNN. whose portrayal
of Lincoln in the Drinkwater
drama of abraham Lincoln" has
given him such reclame. is native
of San Francisco and is fifty-three-
just the age of the real Lincoln at the
height of his career.
Mr.. McGlynn studied law and prae-
ticed for several years, but finally
determined to become an actor. He Is
what is technically known as
character" actor. and because his inn
presentations have always been such
as to sink his own personality in that
of the role. his reputation has been
largely among the professional world
of the theater, and but little with the
public.
He played for many seasons with
Henry Millers organizations and
with the Empire Theater stock. I'M
der Charles. Frohman's management.
but until his selection for the part of
Lincoln the great opportunity every
sincere player hopes for never came.
Mr.. McGlynn is a nephew of the
late Rev. DR.. Edward McGlynn, long
a conspicuous figure in the religious
and public life of New York. and
early in his life a friend of Lincoln.
1t was from this source that Frank
McGlynn originally acquired his great
interest in Lincoln. and it is a curious
fact. for superstitious persons to
ponder over. that for many years
Frank McGlynn has been noted as a
student of Lincoln and his times, and
as a collector or Lincoiniaua.

Jacinto Benavente. the Spanish Playwright.

TAcINTO BENAvENTE, the Spanish
author and playwright. whose La
Malquerida" was produced in New York
last January as 1.-THE Passion Flower"
and in which Miss Nance O'Neil has
scored great personal triumph. has had
q career SO varied and versatile that
the old adage lack Of all trades and
master OF none" might seem at first to
apply to him were 1t not for the fact
that he has proven a master more than
once.
Among things theatrical he has been,
successfully, a call-boy, bill-poster, stage
mechanic. scene shifter, actor, producer,
theater manager. circus rider and press
agent, and-the author of no less
than ninety-six plays. When not en-
tirely occupied by these pastimes he
has managed to achieve a European rep
utation as litterateur and conneisseur
in fine arts; to build. equip and direct
SPANS national theater: to daily be-
times with the complicated game Of law
giving and politics as a member of the
Spanish deputies. and has even found
time to bring suit against a well known
New York producer for an alleged theft
of certain interesting scenes which he
claimed had been lifted bodily from one
of his own plays.
This latter incident, it is said, inclined
the famous Don to peevishness toward
tnIngS American, especially as he lost
his suit in the courts and thereupon
swore Castillian oath never to allow
any of the many children of his dra-
matte genius to make their bow across
American footlights.

ed by such success as ''John Ferguson"
produced Benavente's Bonds of Inter-
est" after several friends of the author
had interceded with him in behalf of the
guild. The play. however. was neither
an artistic nor a financial success. and
for a time it looked as though the Bena-
ventian drama was to be an unknown
quantity on the stage Of the United
States, until the accidental discovery of
La Malquerida"c by friend of Miss
O'Neil, who recognized the role of Raj
munda as offering opportunities for
which she had long been yearning The
play was an instantaneous hit, and it
is now whispered up and down New
York's Rialto that theater is to be
provided ere long FOR the exclusive pro-
duction of the Spaniard's other works
which have been known on the other
side for SO long.
