Then the author begins to ponder
over what became of the scenes he

authors work seemed so important
that day when there were no chorus

"Then things began to change. The
author arrived one day to find that
very funny scene he had written
in coal mine-had been cut out be
cause the scenery would he too heavy
to set in a hurry.
The following afternoon the au-
thor is asked to write new scene
around an idea one of the comedians
has for lawyers office. Just about
this time the author is told that the
funny scene he wrote in the summer
hotel has been cut out because the
designer wanted winter costumes in
that particular part of the show.
by the time the dress rehearsal
arrives the lawyers Office has been
discarded: a ship scene has been
changed to 5th avenue tea shop. and
all the dialogue written for the aero
plane field has been changed to fit
shoe store.
The show opens. it is big hit. but
the critics say the comedy is not so
good. The author finds that he has

are in use. If he is young he does
some more worrying.

Benda Mask A Form
of Sculpture.

IN the ancient theater of Greece. in
dances OF the American Indian the
use of the mask is well known. but the
creator of the Benda masks. it is
claimed. did not start his mask max
ing with the theater in mind. He
created them because they represent
ed a form of sculpture appealing to
his imagination.
Each individual study. we are told.
has grown under his eactinG hand
like a clay model under the creative
fingers of the sculptor. or charac-
ter in fiction under the shaping inn
asination of the novelist.
Building upon a crude frame OF
cardboard, he pastes layer after lay
er of paper. preceiying with the in
tuition of the sculptor the basal out
lines of his subject. and working
from within outward A safety-ra-
zor blade is the practical if not very
esthetic. tool whereby he corrects
mistakes he has made. Five and six
times, often. he approaches tine fin
ished contour before he is satisfied
with it. Once content. he re-enfOrces
the structure on the inner side where
the scant addition of outer layers M has
left the construction unstable. The
nose in particular is strengthened in
this way from within, as the most
vulnerable detail of the whole. until
the thickness at this point exceeds
a quarter of an inch.
Having completed his work IN con-
fguration, Benda next paints the
mask inside and out. occasionally en-
ployinz a thin coat of plaster to Obliter-
ATE marks of construction. Then he
glazes the mask, dull surface or a
high gloss being employed as the
character demands.
The feather lightness Of Benda' s
masks, in contrast to those of the
Indian. Chinese or japanese, puts a
negligible burden upon the actor or
dancer wearing them.
The Benda mask is claimed to be
almost impossible of duplication and
i quite different in this respect from
Ihs mask made of wood or stone.
