THE ROLE OF MUSIC IN THE p1Av

fAA Interview With John DriBkwater.)
THERE is a definite place for music
in the serious theater. but. as a
legitimate aid to the business OF the
drama, its part is somewhat circum-
scrbed. This is no outcome Of modern
development, no pronouncement of an
austere. uncompromising artist bent
upon really holding the mirror up to
nature. Art always imposes it's lin
tations. and Shakespeare knew the
relation of music to the play as well
hs Sir James Barrie or Mr.. Shaw.
John Drinkwater is admirably uuaIi-
fed to accept brief in the case.
Poet dramatist. actor, director of a
theater dedicated to such plays as
the term "repertory' suggests. he
holds an unusual place in the world
Of art today And John Drinkwater
contends that music should be used
as the helpmate OF drama only when
this is the clear and definite purpose
of the playwright.
Tho day of incidental music as we
understand it. is past" Mr.. Drink
water declared. Except where play
actually demands it, i do not favor
music as an accompaniment to the
action. There was a day when Ham
LET'S famous soliloquy would be a sig
nal to the orchestra to bestir itself
1t was as though the players said to
ono another: Well. we must do some
thing to help this poor fellow out,
Shakespeare can't do il alone, Let's
try and distract the audience" And
thoy did Music. II it Is to be any
thlnE but a distraction, must be an
inherent part of the play 80 Shake
speare's mastery of the word is com
plete. and If the acting is what il
shouid be I do not think you can do
anything to give more vital express
SION to the word. Nothing what is
added will intensity Shakespeare's
mastery Take the scene of the
witches in Macbeth The words prop
erly spoken are full of sinister mrs-
terry, and an attempt to get more out
OF the scene with music simply de-
tracts from il.
Shakespeare knew the value of
music In poetic comedy he realized
what a very charming collaboration it
could be. and he took good care to use
II freely Nearly all the comedies

what the woman is apt to do who
tries to keep up the illusion Of youth
after it has fed.
Youth means so much to woman
that no one can blame her for hang
ing on to it with both hands, as long
as there is a shred of it left. But
the important thing for her to realize
is that there does come time when
it is gone, and she only emphasizes
the loss by pretending that she still
has the thing she has lost.
THE trouble with women is that
they do not realize that there is one
glory of the sun, and another of the
moon, and another of the stars. And
there is one beauty Of the sprin ngtime,
one Splendor of the SUMMER, and one
fascination Of the autumn. To each
season it's peculiar charm is given.
But you cannot bring one delight over
to the next season.
You cannot successfully simulate
sixteen at sixty, but many a woman
at sixty is better looking than she
was at sixteen. for life frequently

IN THE SPRING YOUR BLOOD
NEEDS A TONIC.
Winter Weakens Blood, Makes Faces
Pale. Take Guides Pepto-
Mangan.
THE BEST KNOWN BLOOD TONIC
Drowsy Spring-Fever Feeling That
Comes from Sluggish Blood
WEI Soon Leave You.

AS all growing. things on earth
shoot into new life in springtime, SO
do the billions of cells that make up
each part Of the body renew their
vigOr.
AS you open the windows, breathe
the Spring air, and let in the sun
shine, the red corpuscles in your
blood should carry more oxygen to
the tiny cells.
The red corpuscles are tiny disc
shaped particles, swimming In
enormous numbers in the blood.
They carry oxygen to cells in all
parts OF the body, and they carry
away Worn-out waste matter. Some
times, especially in the Spring, after
the winter indoors and more or less
sickness, the red corpuscles them
selves need rebuilding. GUIDES Pep
to-Mangan contains just the ingredi-
ents to give them greater power TO
absorb oxygen and to distribute it
throughout the body.
That is why it is such a good
Spring tonic. It helps so much to
7prlng back color to cheeks made pale
and wan by the necessary indoor win
ter life. 1t adds to the number OF
red corpuscles. With fine Spring
days and Guides Pepto-Mangan you
gain in Vigor and attain good health.
Don't go around droWsy this
Spring. Take that good tonic
Guides Pepto-Mangan. You can get
it in tablet form or in liquid form at
your druggists. Both forms have
the same medicinal valle. Insist
upon genuine Guides Pepto- Mangan..
