asv REGORlO MARTINEZ SER
Hm RA, who will be introduced by
V0 Augustin Duncan to American
playgoers at the Times Square
Theater on February 28, is the fore
most of the younger generation Of
Spanish playwrights.
First coming into prominence as a
writer of impressionistic prose, his
prediction for the stage occasioned
his falling under the influence Of
Jacinto Benavente at the time the lat
ter was engaged in the establishment
of the Art Theater in Madrid, and he
acted in Benavente's support at the
opening performance in the spring of
1899. Emboldened by this beginning,
Martinez Sierra has since become
author Of thirty seven original plays,
which have been produced. In addi-
ton he has translated or adapted
forty-two plays from other languages,
among them, it is interesting to note,
version Of A. Z. Thomas's comedy
"Her Husbands Wife," for some years
popular in Spain under the title
"Aiicia Neurastenica." He is respon-
sible also for tte definitive Spanish edi-
tion Of MaeterIinck.
Born IN 1881, his first play, q col
laboratton with the celebrated Catalan
poet-painter, Rusifioi, was produced in
1907. Since that day hs has been an
extraordinarily prolific writer of
comedies. Four years later he at
tanned his greatest success with "The
Cradle Song" the piece which has
been selected for presentation In New
York. This comedy, q gossamerIiks
fabric from this most facile pen. en-
joys reputation as one OF the most
perfect and engaging specimens of the
lighter phases of modern Spanish
"ealism. Where the Northern play
wright concerns himself with the
quest for dramatic and significant ma
terial, Martinez Sierra simply and un-
atYectedly employs the material which
lies 70 hand. His is sfYortless comedy.

this Qutntero brothers and their
unique theater of atmospheric realism,
the basic principle OF which is assured
ly that all life is essentially dramatic,
because 1t is life. Drama is not a
limitation of subject matter, it is g
form of presentation. There is no
more deft master of the theatric than
this author.
Since its production at the Lara
Theater, Madrid, where it enjoyed q
run Of more than one hundred per-
formanees, supplemented by q repriss
after an extensive summer tour, "The
Cradle Song" has been acted thousands
of times throughout Spain and Spanish

wrote for eternity, he was not divine,
and there are timeworn patches in his
plays. However, he did write with in
spiration enough to make the process Of
polishing unusually difficult.
To be perfectly frank and honest, the
announcement Of new revival of
Shakespeare never moves us to ex-
claim "Goody! goody!" and to clap our
hands. There are things in the thea
ter to-day which are better fun than
Shakespeare. OF course, they lack the
eternal quality and they will be dead
while Shakespeare still goes on, but
there is a fascination and an interest in
the local twist and turn which reflect
life about us. Perhaps 1t Is the fault of
the actors-ws are sorely in need Of an
excuse for our Seelings!--but never has
any revival made us forget that Shake
spears was dead.
When We saw s'The Bat" our interest
was continually stimulated by wonder
and speculation as to which of the
characters had committed ths murder

us to make a selection by secret ballot

and "The First Year." with the present

confession has for the moment freed us
Of the reproach. long fostering In our
mind, Of acting the hypocrite In the pre-
tense that all other dramatic fare is to
us just so much marking Of tins until
Shakespeare comes to town once more.
Added to the many artistic triunphs
which Margaret Wycherly has scored In
the American theater within the last
few seasons Is another which savors Of
the body aa we'll as the spirit. Within
the last few weeks Miss Wycherly has
ACCOMPLISHED the amazing feat Of play
ing the two difficult roles In "Mixed
Marriage" and "Eyvind Of the Hills"
simultaneously, and during this time
she has given twelve performances a
week. Nor is this simply something to
be set down In the record books beside
the account of persons who have dlstin-
gulshed themselves in putting the six
teen-pound shot, or marathon running,
or slx-day bicyc,s races. In spite OF the
terrific physical strain, Miss Wycherly
has continued to give two OF the most
! notable performances which New York
has seen all season.
Nothing can be taken for granted in
the sheater. From the point OF view Oh
few days back it seemed certain that
the week which has just closed would
go down In theatrical history as the
week in which Lionel Barrymore played
Macbeth. As matter OF fact, 1t is
r,ch mora likely to be remembered as
the week In which Laurctte Taylor gave
one of the best comedy performances

CHRISTMAS TREE AND PROGRAM ARE
 ID BE HELD FRIDAY

GLENDALE. Dec. 19.-The pupils of the Washington school will present a program Friday night at the Wash ington school building and the pub lie Is cordially invited to attend. The program has been carefully pre- pared and will be varied. the musical part being under the direct supervi- sion of Mrs. Turner and Mrs. Rich ardson.
 Immediately following the pro- gram there will be a community Christmas tree which has been pre- pared by the Washington Woman's club. There will be candy and nuts for the children.
 SociabiIity Run A Success
 The Sociability run held by the Glendale commercial club Sunday morning to the site of the proposed Cave Creek dam was an entire sue cess from every standpoint, over 125 persons going. Upon arrival the members of the party were told of the proposed features of the dam, as the plans are drawn the dam is to be about 70 feet in height and 1900 feet long, constructed of dirt with cement core.
 The lunch that was served by the club was an entire success as it was one of the main attractions 10 all those who were in the party and each and every one partook of the inviting sandwiches most heartily. To mary who went on the run it was their first view of that section of the coun- try and they maryeled at the beauty

of the surrounding hills and the desert. It was an ideal day for such a trip.
 Baseball
 The baseball game Sunday after noon between the Glendale Greys and the Phoenix Giants at Eastlake park ended most disastrously for the Greys. the final score being 20 to O. The Greys made very poor show ing in view of the past successes they have had when the two teams met. Upon close questioning of the players it was found that they sim ply did not have sufficient practice.
 Commercial Club
 The Glendale district commercial club will hold the regular meeting Tuesday evening at the club rooms on Glendale avenue.
 Play Is Splendid
 The play, "A Poor Married Man" presented at the club house Saturday night by the Peoria Woman's club, scored another well earned success. A very appreciative audience was present and gave great credit to the cast and the director, Mrs J. E. Hud- son, for the ability displayed in pre- senting the play. Again we thank Peoria for affording such high type entertainment as that given Satur- day evening.
 Matinee Musical
 The matinee musical will be given complimentary to the Woman's club Wednesday afternoon immediately after school by the children of the Glendale grammar school. The work is under the direction Of Miss Rogers and Miss Claire Canon.
