consumption.
The Niennese operatoes began to
show SIGNS OF great popularity in
1910 and Miss Unger turned her
hand to the musical. comedy field.
Her first book, The Merry Coun-
tess" written to Strauss music,
was successfully produced by the
Shuherts with FRITZ Schef in the
chief role. Then followed The
Marriage Market" withs Donald
Brian and Betty" in which Ray
mond Hitchcock starred. After this
came a series of English comedies
all produced in London.
Miss Unger has made her home in
England and done most of her work
there. But she is back in her own
country now and is going to stay
here. The Fair Circassian" Is an
original romantic comedy and Miss

Gladys Unger. author OF The
Fair Circassian." the romantic com
edy that will have its premier at
the Shubert- Garrick tomorrow
night. is California girl. the
daughter of Minnie Buchanan ann
Frank Unger, both well known in
literary and artistic circles in San
Francisco.
She was educated in England ana
early developed a talent for writiRS
and drawing. Her parents wanted
her to be an artist and sent her 10
Paris to study art at Julian's. Al
though she twice exhibited in the
Paris Salon and received honorable
mention each time, her love of the
theater was too great to tie her 10
the easel. She definitely abandoned
her career as an artist when one
act play called Edmund keane
was accepted by Seymour Hicks and
produced successfully in London.
Miss Unger was then the youngest
dramatikt in captivity. for she wa,
16 years old.
This short play was followed by
a four-act one called Mr.. Sheri-
dan," produced by Arthur Bourchler
Then came a romantic drama, Hen
ry of Lancaster" which actually
provided Ellen Terry with the long
est part she ever had to learn. II
was about this time that Charles
Frohman was looking for someone
to adapt the gay and witty plays of
the Frenchmen. de Flers and Call
lavet, to suit the requirements of
the American stage. Doris Keane'
then playing ingenue roles under
c. F.'s management happened TO
show him a letter from her friend
Gladys Unger, which contained a
lively account of a then Partisan
success, "L'Amour Vielle." Mr.
Frohman Immediately got in touch
with Miss Unger and contracted
with the young authoress to dc
work for him.
Miss Unger wrote Love Watches
for Billy Burke. and then came In

John Drew. Then Miss Unger wrote

Author Montgomery
Talks About the
FOOtLight LOUer

Romeos in real life are not easily
transferred to the stage, according
to James Montgomery, author of
Irene" which comes to Polls
Theater this week, but the faith
fuIness that the true Romeo rep
tor in romantic comedy.
THE role of a respectful sutton
for a lady's hand is not an easy
one for man to essay" says Mr..
Montgomery, "and the difficulty is
increased a thousandfold when the
job is transferred from the family
parlor or side porch to the migrate
full glare of the footlights.
Take for example, the case of
Donald Marshall, the hero in
Irene who is, I think, typical of
young American manhood. Judged
by the standards of conventional
drama and fiction, he is anything
but an ideal lover. He INDUCES in
no pretty speeches. he doesn't cast
significant glances. he doesn't moon
about when in the presence of the
girl he loves. He is the modern
Romeo, without fancy speeches but
with fine sense of chivalry.
Now, when, as in my case. a
dramatist attempts to create such
respectful and chivalrous lover,
he has IA task equalled in difficulty
only by that OF the actor who sue
ceeds in satisfactorily interpreting
the role. On the stage Donald
Marshall has scarcely anything to
say, but his manly and modestly
romantic ATTITUDE wins approval. 1t
isn't so much what he does as the
way he does it. This is my idea of
a real task for an actor-I know,
for I was on the stage a long time
before becoming a dramatist."

Boganny Troupe
OF Stage AcrObats
Intact ii Years

Outside OF their mirth-provoking
qualities, Joe Boganny and his
comedians. especially imported for
vaudeville and appearing at the
Belasco this week. hold a peculiar
record.
There are ten men in this com
pany, headed by Boganny himself
and the company has been held In
tact for fourteen years, during
which time they have played in
every part of the globe.
There was just one break dur
ing the fourteen years-during the
war the company was disbanded as
all except the three midgets be-
came members of the British forces.
All of the soldier-comedians were
wounded at one time or another.
one of them was captured and spent
twelve months in a German prison
camp, but as soon as the armistice
was signed and they were able TO
get their release from service. the
ten men again became the Boganny
Troupe.
They were appearing at the New
York Hippodrome in 1918 when Joe
Boganny got a call for his services
in the British army. Boganny lost
no time in answering and took the
entire troupe back to England, of
which country the entire troupe are
natives. When the tanks got into
service. the three midgets-all of
the troupe who were left in private
life-tried to get into the tank
corps but they were rejected, al
though they still held the view that
they were peculiarly fit for work
inside the baby tanks.
