Leading Man at Garrick
Is Devoted to Athletics
Robert Brister Holds Theory That Stage Sue.
- cess Depends on Bodily Fitness.

Athletics and hard work have
been responsible for the rapid rise
to fame Of Robert Brister. popular
leading man with the stock players
who will open at the Shubert- Gar.
rick theater for the summer months
commencing Monday, June 20.
Brister realized that by keeping
himself in perfect physical condi-
tion he could better master the diff
fculties of the stage. As a result
he took up the playing of handball
and has. by constant practice, be-
come quite an adept. He has en-
tered number of Journeys and has
come out with high honors.
This popular leading man is an
other who can be classed as a veri-
table golf fiend and many a morn
ing he can be found travelling over
the links pursuing his favorite
pastime. This outdoor exercise has
been responsible for Brister's manly
appearance and perfect health. His
health has meant everything to him
because his work before the foot
lights has been constant. He has
the reputation of being employed on
one stretch as long as many other
Broadway notorieties. This fact has
been proven during his engagement
as Florence Rockwelfs leading man
in The Bird Of Paradise" a posi-
ton which ne has held for the past
three seasons,
Prior to this Mr.. Brister was lead
ing man for the Princess Players,
of Des Moines and Sioux City, Iowa.
He spent a number of seasons with
the Princess Players, which has
given him wonderful stage experi..
ence. The hard work which he has
devoted to his Interpretation of dra-
matte expression has been respon-
sibie to marked degree for his,
rapid rise in the dramatic held.

Brown Is His Name, But
1t Should Be 'FVersatile"
Mary Ryan's Leading Man Has Done Little of
Everything, Including Films.

to the screen and to the spoken
drama is Harry c. Browne, who has
the role opposite Mary Ryan in the

After his appearance in "Cordelia

two years he was leading man for

Glass"
Being fortunate in the possession
of a good voice. he at this time
turned his talents toward musical
comedy and for several seasons was
seen and heard in musical comedy.
He spent two years in "Oh Lady,
Lady and a season and a half in
The Little Whopper."
Recently he has been won over
to the films and has been seen most
~ on the screen in the company of
such well-known persons as Mary
Pickford, the Talmadges, Pear,

Miss Lulu Bett' Wins
$1,000 Pulitzer AUUd
For Years Best Play

Extreme liberality of taste in
their attitude toward dramatic art
has been shown by the Columbia
university juries that have recon-
nended the awards of the Pulitzer
prize of $1,000, established by the
will Of the late Joseph Pulitzer, "for
the original American play per-
formed in New York which shall
best represent the educational value
and power of the stage in raising
the standard of good morals, gooo
taste and good manners"
The three plays which thus far
have successfully met the test pre-
scribed in Mr.. Pulitzer's will are
wholly unahke in substance and
style. Their only similarity is that
their authors have set for them
selves the task Of analyzing char
acter in minute detail. But IN
feeling and in the manner in which
their themes have been approached
and developed the plays which have
been given the distinction could
scarcely be more dissirnilar.
