- OR the first time in the history
III of the New York stage the
Easter Monday matinee in the
legitimate theater is announced. John
Golden claims the credit for the idea,
which he VIII carry out by giving an
extra performance of 'Lightnin at

the Little Theater tomorrow after
noon. This makes ten performances
for the week for these two shows, IS
each is giving another extra matinee,

These will not be the only extra per
formances for the holiday, however

than his just share of praise. Charles
Waldron's Darnley was to US con-
spicuously able performance. One of
the memories which we shall carry with
us always a terror on dark nights
was his exit over the murdered body of
Ricco. Moreover. the role is diff
cult one to which Waldron brought
little of natural physical equipment
which was of much use to him He was
obliged to devise brand new voice for
Darnley-at any rate, We had never
heard him employ it on the stage before
but in spite OF this there was not the
slightest sense of effort in his per-
formance. We feel grateful to Miss
Eames on a score of counts, and one
of them was that her performance was
such a masterpiece that the reviewer
was spared the necessity of running
through more than few adjectives to
describesthe work of Waldron and Of
Frank Reicher.

The author has limited his theme to
the climax of her carecr-her impris-

Owing to Miss Anglins desire to

Miss Eanes Arrives
So Brilliantly Even
BroadwayIs Amazed

@s@ RRlvED" is word that has
"A been mucn abused, but no one
who knows his theater would
have the slightest doubt that he was
using it correctly for Clare Eames. At
the opening of John Drinkwater's
Mary Stuart last Monday night in
the Ritz Theater there was demon
stration for Miss Eames such as is seen
only once in seasons. When the cur
tains came together the audience-and
it was the most brilliant audience since
Abraham Lincoln opened burst out
in a clamor for Miss Eames. The mo-
ment she appeared cheer after cheer,
finally uniting in one great roar, came
from the audience. 1t was historic
occasion. 1t was -hc ARRIVAL of Clare
Eames.
When the tumult and the shouting
ceased one could near now and then a
person in the audience asking his
neighbor who Miss Eames was. and to
that question in most cases the neigh
Dor could give at east partial expla-
nation. A portion of the audience had
seen her as Princess Elizabeth in "The
Prince and the Pauper' this season and
others had seen her as Lady Wilmer
ding. wife of the English ambassador,
in "Declassee" with Ethel Barrymore
last season. Others knew she was the
IL.
But few knew more than that. and even
those who knew that much had sus-
Hected she would soar to such heights
iefore their eyes. She had shown her
self an excellent actress in the two
parts she had had on Broadway previ-
ously, but the parts were limited, and
that was all ske could demonstrate in
them.
1t remained for men with vision to
divine her possibilities. These two
men were William Harris jr.. producer
of Mary Stuart who chose her for
the great part, and John Drinkwater
the author, who approved of the selee-
ton. She was brought to their atten-
ton by Livingston Piatt, the artist, and
then, of course, she had the good for
tune to get direction from Lester Lon
ergan, who staged the play for Mr.
Harris. All of them could have more

New-York tribune., 1921-03-27

In the first-night haste of reviewing
"Mary Stuart" we were guilty of two
serious omissions. No mention was
made of the fact that Lester Lonergan
staged the play, and he has done re-
markably able job. There should have
been something, too, about the fine cos
tunes and sets designed by Livingston
Platt, and William Harris belonged in
the story. By this time Mr.. Harris has
come to occupy a place at the front, or
thereabouts, among American managers
who are doing fine things in the the
ater. To be sure, he was responsible
for east rs West" but he has used the
huge and continuing profits of that pro-
duction wisely and also courageously.
sAbraham Lincoln" seemed rather a
daring experiment in the American
theater, and we have a suspicion that
Mr.. Harris undertook to produce it as
penance piece to make up for East
Is West" Fate, being in more just
mood than usual, afforded the manager
the rare treat of making vast sums of
money out of an artistic triumph. Yet
he was not moved to play safe in spite
of this steady run of success and failed

With the coming of prohibition
seem to be more disposed
to experiment with varying act divi
sions. Now that audiences are willing
to stay in the theater once they have
arrived, Eugene O'Neill's "The En-
peror JONES'" with it's eight scenes
and no intermission of more than a
minute, is possible; also the two-act
form which George M. Cohan has
used for "The Tavern" and the single
act of about one hour and half into
which "Mary Stuart" falls. However,
there are still experiments to be

"Back to Methuselah," is said to run

we were still celebrating meatless

One or two critics of MARY Stuart"
have remarked that although for their
part the play was engrossing they
feared that to the many unversel in

be unintelligible. This we are pre-

The Ahnds, natives of Jaum, In

to r. G. Burton, writing in the Field.
They track bears, panthers and other
jungle creatures by a mere shadow
of footprint and also by marking"
a system of watching.
When marking" animals the ma
tives turn out before sunrise and
watch the animals as they stink
back to their lairs. Then when the
hunters take position Of vantage
the markers aids surround the ami
NAL on three sides, and drive it out
from cover.
The Ahnds often track bears across
solid rock, where the creatures claws,
scratching the surface, leave a mark.

Love-.

Love" is one of the most frequently

guage. There are almost as many def
nitions of it as there are people who
speak the language. This little mono
syllable may be said to be immeasur-
able in It's potentialities.
In the German language the word
is 'Liebe." The exact Russian equiv
alent is "Lieuboy." The Sanscrit word
that expressed the idea-or the print
tive conception of it's 'Lobha." The
exact and original definition of that
word, however, is nervousness. So
