rrstllng programs. am profoundly
grateful to Mr.. Shaw for not obliging
me to talk against the variety of
noises. No one comes to the theater on
time, and Shaw knows it If l were to
write play I'd say nothing of any
real Importance untiN the erd of the
first act, or l might even save it for
the second act. There isn't any use
wasting ones best thoughts"
Miss Risdon, who has had roles in
several other Shaw plays, including
you Never Can Tell" "Fanny's First
Play" and "Mesalliance," enjoys acting
in one of G. B. SIS works, because of
their intellectual content. But when
pressed to talk about the symbolism
Of "Heartbreak House" she avoided
it and said:
Why can't one go to a Shaw play
ard enjoy it for what it is without
trying to delve too deeply beneath the
surface. That seems to be the trouble
with most people when they see Shaw.
Sometimes they find things that the
author never had in mind 1t seems
to me perfectly easy to go to the thea
ter and enjoy play by Shaw Just as
If 1t were written by any other play
wright. Shaw, personally. is not the
to tofbidding creature that he has been
mode out to be by some who have
met him. He is thoroughly human,
kindly and likes to laugh He is a
very merry man and no one can feel
bit shy in his presence"

EHeartbreak House. Holds
Thrills i'm Reserve Till
Carrick Is Well Filled

Some of the problems which budding
young playwrights should consider in
writing their first plays are never
touched on in courses on dramatic
technique nor in books on the subject.
If they were they would cleverly con-
trive to have the star make his or her
first entrance near the end of the first
act or at the beginning of the second.
No one likes a late dinner more than
the folk of the theater. Permit them
to indulge in one and earn their undy-
ing gratitude. Having ACCOMPLISHED
trive to say nothing of any great i'm
portance or value in the first act. Why
make players waste their energy talk
ing against the banging seats and
shuff1ing feet of the latecomerso Save
the good things for later on in the
play. Although those who come to :he
theater punctually expect reward for
their promptness by hearing some
thing that the other fellow will not
hear it hardly pays to cast pearls be-
fore empty seats.
Bernard Shaw handles the problem
neatly in "Heartbreak House," which
is now playing at the Garrick Theater.
The curtain rises and discloses the liv-
ing room of Captain Shotover's house,

Good Looks Are Not
Enough Equipment for
Motion Picture PLAYERS

Here is message of hope to those
who want to become motion picture
actors. Clifford Robertson saws there
is great demand for new faces in pic
lures. And Mr.. Robertson ought to
know whereof he speaks, for he is cast
ing director for Goldwyn. He arrived
in the city few days ago to spend
couple of weeks seeing the new plays
and actors.
Lest some one reading this may think
that all that is necessary to get a good
part in picture is to appear at
studio makeup box in hand let it be
mates / 900 as the number of appl-
cants which he receives each week
Many feel themselves called-but not
all are chosen. But each and every one
is considered. and those who seem pos
sibe are cata ogued for future ref
erence if there is no present need for
them.
"lf one will consider the number Of
pictures being made all the time" says
Mr.. Robertson, "it will be evident that
there is great and growing demand
for actors. Last season there were at
one time 247 companies working around
Los Angeles, and, Of course, at the
same time there were many companies
working in other parts of the country
lust tnat one statement of fact should
u enough to prove that any one with
''s necessary qualihca tions stands an
excellent chance of getting part.
The trouble is that so many Of those
who want to so into pictures haven't
tho qualifications. Good looks aren't
all by any means. Some extremely
pretty girls and unusually handsome
reason that they can't act. They may
be excellent models for artists; but
adorning magazine cover, say, and
pointing the moral of motion picture
are two quite different things. An
actors performance is much more i'm
portant than his looks. Proper make
up will do great deal toward making
a person look the part he is to play.
But there isu't any store in the world
where one can buy the things which
make person able to act part. That
is why when we interview a wouldbe
actor we do other things besides max
ing a note of his height and whether
or not his hair curls. Intelligence,
imagination, breeding these may be
more subtle and hard to determine, but
they are more important than appear
ance.
AN actor from the legitimate stage
has an advantage over the unframed
person. For one thing, he has poise.
But this must not be taken to mean
that the beginner has no chance. He
has-if only he gives evidence of hav-
ing personality and intelligence. Be-
cause man has never been heard of is
not proof that he is bad actor There
>was a time when Sarah Bcrnhardt had
never been heard Of. At the Goldwyn
studio we see every one who applies for
part and We read every letter and
examine every picture sent us. In ad-
dition we read the dramatic reviews Of
all the new plays, in the belief that in
some of them there may be actors who
have, not been on the screen but who
would be successful if given the
chance. Distance is no object when it
comes to getting the one person who
can play given part. The only thing
which counts is getting the actor. 1t is
because that is true that all the pro-
ducing companies spend so much time
and money on their casting depart
ments"

DAUGHERTY CANNOT
 TRY WAR GOUGERS
Congress- Failure to Extend Limitation Statute Rend- CTS Majority Immune.

Washington, Sept. 2-The announc- ed criminal prosecution of war prof iteers will not take place. The Gov ernment is now able to reach only those who committed offenses after Sept. II, 1918, during the last two two months and eleven days of actual hosti1fties or subsequent to the sign ing of the armistice. Delay in ex- tending the statute of Limitations from three to six years has let a big part of the harvest escape the Depart ment of Justice.
 It was made clear at the depart ment yesterday that profiteers can still be reached through civil action to recover funds taken from the Gov ernment- When he requested legiS- lation from Congress on the criminal statute of Imitations, MT Daugherty had precedents investigated and an- nounced that the new law would not be retroactive By that it is meant that it will extend the statute only in cases on which the bar has not already been let down. The legisla- ton, it was stated yesterday, cannot be made to apply to the offenders Of an earlier date.
 Civil action will be resorted to in cases where evidence taken by the Investigating committee of Congress and the inquiry by the Department of Justice under the direction of Col Guy D. Golf, assistant to the Attor- ney General, justiffes- Col. Golf said that the statute which affords the profiteers protection begins to run only from the last overt act Should Congress enact the desired legisla- ton on Nov. l, proiteers of war grafters who violated the law during the ten days prior to the armistice or subsequent to it, can be reached under the criminal statutes
 Fortunately the Government, in the opinion of Mir. Golf, can prosecute for an offense committed more than three years ago if there is subse- quent offense by the same person upon which the statute of limitations has not run
 Thus far the department has made no survey to see what cases will be barred from the courts after the leg islation is adopted. It is generally presumed that the department will find itself unable to enter the alleged airp1ane scandal late in 1917 and early in 1918 for criminal action. should it believe such justified. Col. Golf stated that the question of what contracts are now beyond the scope of criminal prosecution will be
 reviewed by the department later on. | There is ample time for the depart l ment to institute civil suits against | alleged offenders. he said.
