Margaret Anglin's
Stage Investiture of
''The Trial of joan

In designing and selecting the cos
Shubert Theater, Margaret Angln has
made a careful research into all the
available material Of the early fifteenth
century that she might reproduce with
historical accuracy a true picture of
the trial of the Maid of Orleans.
The costumes Of the dignitaries Of
the Church, the Cardinals red and the
Bishops purple have been selected with
care and are authentic in color and
design. The simple black doublet and
hose which Miss Anglin herself wears
as Joan are also scrupulousiy accurate,
in contrast to the popular INSTALLATION
of the Maid in shining armor, as Nine.
Bernhardt portrayed her in an earlier
representation of the trial.
The other characters are dressed with
the same historical accuracy, Queen
Catherine wearing rich metal brocade
of a curious pattern of rose and silver
gray which gives a somber medieval
tone to the entire costume. On the
neck, sleeves and skirt of the queens
gown is dull gold trimming, heavily
embroidered with pearls, while the
skirt is slashed high on each side,
showing beneath a panel of cloth of
gold also embroidered richly in pearls.
Cloth of gold is dominant in the lower
sleeve, which is set into the metal bro
cade just above the elbow, while Cir
die of gold hangs just below the waist
with a cloth of gold purse covered
with lustrous pearls suspended from it.
The dignity of the gown lies chiefly in
the long train which falls back four or
five feet on the floor. The tall hat
with its heavy padded roll and gorgeous
wells add magnificence that is essen
TALLY regal.
Miss Anglin's search into the avail
able historical documents of 1431 has
brought out another striking costume
worn by the queens lady IN waiting, of
dove gray silk with long taberds back
and front of deep blue velvet embroid-
cred in silver. The upper sleeves are
gray silk embroidered in shades of rose
and the lower sleeves and vest are in
silver cloth. A conical headdress of
the. deep blue Of the dress, laden with
fur and pearls, and blue veil flowing
to the floor complete the ensemble.
A blue gray velvet combined with
brilliant orange hues are the dominant
tones of the costume worn by the Sec
ond maid of-honor. The velvet skirt is
slashed from the hem little to the
left, revealing a patterned orange
fabric. Flowing sleeves Of orange silk
fall from the elbows to the floor. Set
in at the shoulders of the dress are
rare pieces of embroidered lace show
ing the orange motif of the dress be-
low. A high medieval hat of orange
fabric, gold embroidery and jewels
haunts gaudy veil of light orange
gauze five yards in length.

Walter Hampden on
ssModern Trend" i'm
Giving Shakespeare


abortive, degraded utterance. And
warn you, Mr. Critic of Shakespeariau
Ctterance, that if you could speak that
way or write that way you would.
"There are limitations, of course, in
presenting any of the Shakespearean
cycle. The strain of the modern the
ater is heavy. We cannot present it
under existing conditions as Shake
speare did. Although that question of
production is too technical to go into
except at length, it can be said that
we do not know that. Shakespeare had
a proscenum arch, for one thing. And
where we take from sixteen to twentv-
four scenes to stage play, he used
but one.
"And still say he is not old-fash-
ioned. Well, will say this, that I
feel quite sure that in A. D. 2021 he
will not only be more widely read but
more frequently played and better
played. I am sure two critics at least
"AAA AtVpc 4OT the ldCter.
"And about Macbeth p he was asked.
"A great play. A very difficult one.
An overwhelming tragedy
Tragedy-notwithsta the critic
who said 1T was played like the ro-
bustious melodrama that it is.'
Tragedy" he repeated.
How would I differentiate between
the two? In melodrama the charac-
ters are types They are static. They
do one thing and that alone. They are,
therefore, artificial. The villain is al
ways villain. The ingenue is always
pretty, sweet and virtuous. But in Mac
BETH as you easily can see, the charac-
ters are hardly fixed. They grow. They
develop. They are not the same. They
are human. They are not types. Mac
beth can hardly be called type"
The argument that Shakespeare never
definitely fixed Macbeth as a character
at all was recalled to Mr.. Hampden.
"Haxdly an oversight or carclessness
on Shakespeare's part" he said. "Had
he fixed him definitely the transition
from all that he is claimed to be to
what he later actually docs would be
too great. It would be ruinous. Mac
beth is man dominated primarily by
love for his wife. After the murder
Of Duncan, at her instigation, he is no
longer subservient to her. He is SUBJ
servient only to himself, to his fear,
which makes him ruthless. Perhaps I
have expressed it not at all we'll, but
perhaps you understandw
The roll of thunder reverberated
through the wings. The ruthless Mac
beth" smiled. ut makes me feel like
a boy. get thrill every time / hear
it." And on the stage he went for an
other murder.

S'Don'ts" for Writers of
Motion Picture Mater;.l

Writers and scenario writers must
awaken to the fact" says John c.
Brownell, scenario chief of Universal,
"that the public is beginning to de-
mand more and more stories that pos
sess the human flavor IS opposed to
the highly romantic and obviously
tricky plots of many a novel and
screen play.
$50 far as Universal is concerned,
all screen material purchased from
now on must be 100 per cent human.
The stories must reflect life as it
really is, and not as it might be in
one case out Of a million Tie old
situations that have served novelists
and playwrghts as first aid since time
immemorial must give way to incidents
from real life and scenes that repre-
sent modern conditions as they are
known to the many.
eve will reject all scenarios con-
tanning a dual role on the premise that
it is not true to life. There may be
one or two isolated instances wherein
two persons resemble each other so
closely that the wife or mother of
one would be deceived by the other,
but it is not typical of real life.
eve do not want any storied dreams
those stories that never really hap
pen, but lead the audience through
puzzling intricacies only to disappoint
it in the final reel. Their novelty gave
them the only reason for existence, and
that has worn off.
eve will not accept manuscripts
wherein the wife or husband, believing
the worst, leaves all behind without
stopping to confirm his or her sus-
picions. Plots in which the villain
throws suspicion upon the hero by
stealing the important papers and plac-
ing the envelope in said hero's pocket
or desk are barred. All sacrifices for
which there is not sufficient motive
must be omitted from our stories, be-
cause they give false view of life.
"The long arm of coincidence must
not be stretched to the point of dislo-
cation. With 100000 persons in New
York it is absurd to think that the two
most vitality interested in the plot
should meet on Brooklyn Bridge at mid

The Morals Of Lilion,
BY Benjamin F. Clazer

Mr.. Glozer made the English tert
of Franz Molnar's "Lihom," qvhich
the Theater Guild presented at the
Garricl; Theater on Wednesdoy
evening.
A4HAT is the moral of "Lilion"?
~ Nothing you can reduce to a
creed. Molnar is neither a preacher
nor propagandist for any theory
OF life. You will look in vain in his
plays for moral or dogma. His phi
losophy-if philosophy you can call
It's always implicit. And nothing
IS palmer than that his picture of
courtroom in the Beyond is neither
devoutly nor satirically intended.
Liliom's heaven is the heaven of his
own imagining. And what is more
natural than that it should be an
irrational jumble Of priests purga-
tory, police magistrates justice and
his own limited conception of GOOD
deeds and evil?
For those who hold that eyerv fine
dramatic architecture must have its
splre of meaning, that by the very
process and selection of character
and incident the dramatist writes his
commentary on life, there is still an
explanation possible. Perhaps Mol
mar was at the old, old task of re-
valuing our ideas of good and evil.
Perhaps he has shown only how the
difference between a bully, wife
beater and a criminal, on the one
hand, and saint, on the other. can
be very slight. If one must tag
"Liliom" with moral, I prefer to
read mine in Liliom's dying speech to
Julie, wherein he says "Nobody's
rlght-but they all think they are
right. A lot they know!"
