New York will shortly see most ex-
traordinary play. It will be called The
Right Way" and was adapted from a
Southern novel, MAN Linda by the
late Will N. Harden, by James Faller,
a New York playwright.
THE Right Way is story of an
attempt by young Southerner to
bring to a sense Of respect for the law
Of some of his neighbors bent upon
lynching a negro lad who is charged
with the crime of murder, but who, in
a later scene, is proven innocent. The
young man stands against the mob
and seeks to point out the right way
instead of the lawless way, and finally
succeeds.
Governor Dorsey, Of Georgia, and
other Southern executives and noted
men are in accord on this subject, and
the play which is being presented un
der the management of Richard q.
Herndon with an unusually brilliant
cast and most effective stage settings
promises to prove one Of the vital
plays of the season. Justice by John
Galsworthy and plays by Eugene
Brieux, the French playwright, have

ject matter in English and French
laws and their weakness, but 'The
Right of Way" will be one of the
first American law and order plays

questions propounded by Thomas A.
Edison promises to become an histor-
ical document. 1t may be recalled that
Mr.. Edison asked series Of ques-
tons, simple ones he declared. on
which more than IS per cent of his
applicants ''flunked.' Then the New
York newspapers got busy and sub
m:tted them to a group. Of represen-
tative people,> students, teachers,
Librarians and others, and little en-
couragement was offered. When one
East Side library was called on the
telephone and asked about them the
reply was that no questions were ans
wered over the telephone. Besides"
the operator replied. IF you want to
know about them why don't you ask
Mr.. Edison? He knows if anybody
knows it.
Avery Hopwood. the famous dram
attic writer, offers a few additional
questions:
Why are female impersonators?
Who stole prosperity from the road?
Name one prominent writer who is
not interested in the movies!
How many playgoers have been I'M
able to gain admittance to ''The Bat?"
One of the imported actresses to
appear in New York last week was
Dorothy Ward. a beautiful auburn
haired player whose skill in variety
of parts in London has given her an
international distinction. Miss Ward
plays the leading role, that of Phoebe,
in the musical version of Quality
Street" In London she generally play
ed active, lively and vivacious char
acters. Her American debut was made
in a demure part. One well known
English actor, regaling newspapermen
about Miss Ward and her London con-
quests declared:
"She is delightful as a demure
maiden, but until you see her in a
lively part you will never be able to
appreciate her. We feel about her in
London as the American daughter OF
a careful parent who inquired if her
daughter had met any nice men at the
seashore.
No. she answered with alac-
rity, but I met some perfectly en-
trancing rough-necks.'
The cables tell of continued success
of American plays in London, and now
we hear that Isadora Duncan, the
foremost Interpreter of classic dancing
herself an American, has won her most
pronounced success at the Prince OF
Wales theater in London. where her
engagement has been extended. Miss
Duncan was the first of our native |
dancers to win international distinc- |
ton for her artistic creations and ex-
ecutions, and since her first appear
ance many dancers have come and
gone, but Miss Duncan holds her posi- |
ton secure. "She is,' as the Morning
Post of London observes. beyond all
doubt the greatest personality who has
ever devoted herself to extending the
art Of dancing. She is the founder of
the classical school, which aims at re-
wing the graceful and flowing gestures
and movements, whereof we have |
arrested phases in the Greek frieZes. |

Although dancers have come and gone, |
many from our own ranks, Miss |
Duncan is now, as she has been for /
many years, our most noted exponent.
Last year the Duncan Dancers a |
group Of her own pupils, displayed her
art throughout the United States, and
an effort is now being made to bring |
Miss Duncan herself back to the |
states.
