Putting Over a Song.

MORA BAYEs has been a student Of
the art Of staging songs for a
long time. It Is her contention that
most any one with good voice can
sing a song, but when 1t comes to
bringing out the points Of that song
and presenting 1t with the right sort
Of "color''-wen that is a different
matter.
Miss Bayes pays but little atten-
ton to the music or air Of a new
song. She does not even hum It
First she reads the lines very care
fully, studies the words and acquaints
herself with not only their meaning.
but also their possibilities in the way
Of acceptance by the audience. Her
next move is the staging Of the song.
Special scenery, possibly a special
chorus. and, as very often the case, a
special dance are important essen
tials.
After the setting has been decided
upon. then the question Of music is
least Of her worries. for once she has
mastered the details mentioned, the
melody pours forth almost automat-
ically from her well trained voice.
Her method OF establishing the
proper relation between singer and
Of host and guest. She contends that
songs are cooked" not born, and,
elucidating on her pet hobby. adds:
TT isn't how q song starts out in
life that matters. It's how 1t turns
out. Many q good idea has been
handled so that 1t never had q fight
ing chance as song. while others
have been a success Just because Of
the way they have been presented to
the public"

Mark Twain's masterpiece. "A Con-
necticut Yankee in King Arthur's
Court" has been made into a motion
picture by William Fox and will be
offered as a special attraction at
Moore's Rialto Theater this week,
beginning today.
This clever and amusing satire is
said to offer wonderful scope to the
motion picture director. The pro-
duction is said to bring out the full
force Of all the situations invented by
the fertile Imagination of the great
humorist, as well as tranSlating for
the eye all the splendor Of medieval
court life.
"The Yankee" is not only a great
classic of American humor. but also
as forceful satire against those who
sigh for the good old times" The
author set out to show that the world
we live in is the best of all possible
worlds, and the time we live in is
the best of all possible times. This
he did by. taking a typical young
American, bright as a dollar. filled
with smart up-to-date ideas and set
ting him down in King Arthurs court.
where he could judge for himself

whether life as a whole was more
comfortable than now. 1t is an ex-

GARRICK-"Miss Lulu Bett."

Miss Lulu Bett," which comes to
the Shubert-Garrick this week. start
ing tomorrow evening, has the peda-
gogical blessing and a prize badge
as the best American play 1, of last
season." It stirs up thet old question
regarding the stage and "the happy
ending" Zona Gales novel, whence
the play was derived, had what is
customarily called an unhappy" end
ing.
When the play was in the. process
of making the unhappy wind-up was
retained, but it was soon found that
such a conclusion would not do for
the theater. So the drab and over
worked household menial who, in the
novel, contracts marriage which
proves invalid and later marries an
other Is made, in the play, to find
happiness in the arms OF her first
and only husband.
II was felt that two husbands in
the course Of two. and one-half hours
entertainment in the theater would
be something. Of an outrage to. the
conventions of the stage land the
moral perception; of playgoers. :.
Zona Gale, who. wrote the novel
also made the dramatization, and she
not only acquiesced in the change,
hut co-operated in making it. More
over, she defended the happy" end
ing as good art" as well jas good
business. =

HAPPY BINDINGS.

not the necessity for the happy end
ing but the narrowness Of the defini-
tion of happy ending. Thus, any play
which ends with a promise of mar
rfage is considered to have a happy
ending. or. more generally, any play
which winds up with an embrace.
IF the handsomest actor does not
get the prettiest actress, the play
thereby ends unhappily and becomes
tragedy. That Is serious libel on
life as most Of us know it.
1.-The tragic truth is that getting
the girl is not infrequently the be.
ginning rather than the end OF
trouble. However. we would not go
so far as the cynic who said that
the reason comedies end with a mar
riage is that tragedy begins there
In fact. nine chances out of ten. If

erstwhile Miss Bett longing for the
dear old days of spinsterhood."
