Glare Eames Gives Her
Conception of Role of
Mary Queen of Scots

IT HE process of realizing a his
49, torlcal character on the stage is
always an interesting one, and often a
perplexing one to the actor. This, Of
course, Is especially the case where
me nature OF the character is in dis
r1te, or where the physical aspect of
the character was such that if the
actor followed it closely it would in
terfere with his own best weapons of
expression. The actor who plays a
man like Lincoln, Of course, has abso-
lutely got TO be q physical likeness, or
nobody would accept him, and the
events of Lincoln's life, and his char
acter, are we'll known. There is small
room for choice. But the further back
into history one goes, OF the more con-
trcversial the figure becomes, the more
is left to the actor,
Glare Eames, who is TO play Mary
in Drinkwater's MARY, Queen of
Scots" at the new Ritz Theater on
March 81, says that so far as she is
concerned, when studying an historical
role (she has also played, oddly
enough, Queen Elizabeth, Mary's dead
ly enemy, the very first thing she
strives TO do is to forget everything
she ever knew or read about the char
acter, and TO concentrate on the play
after ALL" she declares, my task
is primarily to interpret the authors
work, the authors idea Of the charac-
ter, not my own. try to irumerse my
self fully in the drama, and study the
stage character-in the present case
from Mr.. Drinkwaters angle. After I
feel that I have mastered that, then
read little-not very much--about
the character and still more about the
age. In the case Of Mary, I have now
read certain bare chronicles, and also
Hewlett's 'The Queens QUAR- I
think the actor who interprets an his
torical character has got to feel quite
as intensely as he feels the character,
the soil in which the character sprang
up and fiourished. In Mr.. Drinkwa-
ter's play, for example, | have got to
feel, and il possible suggest TO the
audience, the background Of pagean-
try and emotionahsm of the Roman
Catholic Church, which was Mary's
background, tbs soil which nourished
her; and to feel and if possible TO sug-
eest the background of cultured, aes-
thetic France, when she came TO grim,
cold Scotland. The aesthetic contrast
between that background and the Prot
estant court OF Scotland is tremendous,
and of course it is made manifest by
Mary herself. And please don't think
/ am taking this task lightly!
~ have never seen schiller's Maria
Stuart acted, but it isn't prejudice
which makes me feel, from reading
of it. that Mr. Drinkwater's is much
more interesting play. Perhaps ! like
IL better because 1t is so much more
modern play. ] am going to make a
prediction that from the pathological

into trouble through his own debauched
will. In this sense the tragedy takes
on something of the Greek type which
displays the individual in conflict with
Fate, an inscrutable power dominating
alike actions of gods and men-the
destiny Of which they are the instru-
ments ana ministers. This superhu
man aspect is religious in tone and
is calculated to stimulate lofty
mood of awe.
ITO those who were disconnected by
the minimum of objective action, we
would say that this lack of objective
IS precisely our purposed effect"
