He may play it many times, but the
repertoire system assures him of the
chance to create other parts all the
time.
In the European theaters, also, spe-
cial productions of worthwhile plays
which may not have wide popular
appeal are always being given. These
plays are put on with as much care
and artistic integrity as if they were
expected to have long, money-returning
runs. They are of invaluable oppor-
tunity to young and ambitious actor.
Mr.. Schildkraut came 20 America
last year, making his debut on this
side Of the Atlantic in "Pagans." Al
though the play was failure, he made
an impression on the critics and the
audiences who saw it.
When the Theater Guild decided to
produce Franz Molnar's "Liliom" it of
fered Mr.. Schildkraut the title role
that of the roughneck. He accepted,
and the story of the success of the
play and Of Mr.. Schildkraut's part in it

on April 90. Mr.. Sehildkraut has signed
contract with the Theater Guild for
one year to appear in its plays. He
also is appearing in motion pictures
under Griffith.

Oscar Shaw, Breezy
Comedy Man of ''Two
Little Girls i'm Blue''

The merchant who has made a sue
cess in life by studying the character
istics of those with whom he comes
in contact might very well say of Oscar
Shaw, the breezy comedian in "Two
Little Girls in Blue" at the George
NJ. Cohan Theater: what fine sales
man he would makei"
He really typihes the glib, breezy,
CHEEKY salesman who would find it
easy to sell you lemon colored kid'
shoes when you wanted house slippers.
And if one said that trade surely lost
shining light of a salesman when
Oscar Shaw went on the stage he or
she who said it would be right, because
that is really what he was when the
call for the stage was heard by him
and answered.
He was a travelling salesman troop
ing up and down the rail-bedded high
ways, hitting small towns and large
and intriguing the merchants of every
capacity to buy. When one considers
the matter we'll it is not such a strange
thing that he went FROM that position
to the stage, because it is not such a
far step from the putting in good
humor the merchant who dares to be
disfranchised from his customary re-
sentful gloom and the amusement of
a whole houseful, who come for the
express purpose of being pleased
1t is said that Oscar Shaw. the sales
man, was renowned throughout his cir
cult for the amusing stories hs told
and the lonesome evenings in a one
train town that he made pleasant for
his fellow hotel guests marooned there
over night. He tried ont the old jokes
and songs and dared to daily with the
new ones. So when the chancs came
for him to go on the stage in real
musical comedy he had the courage to
take the step, ard the resulting sue
cess led him to bid goodby to the sample
case.
He has played up and down Broad
way, and for two years was with the
Ziegfeld Midnight Frolic" and for
three years at the Alhambra Theater
in London. Other attractions in which
he was seen are "Leave It to Jane"
"Rose of China" Very Good Eddie"
"The Half Moons and "The Girl and
the Wizard"
He is further known TO fame as
champion golfer of the Great Neck,
Long Island, Golf and Country Club.
He is Great Necker by residence.

Sincerity Will Always Gain
Public Support, Says Ervine

In new edition Of his play, "John
Ferguson" St. John IRVINE has num-
her Of interesting things to say upon
the present state Of the English the
ater and about play writing. "John Fer
guson" had an original production and
an extended American tour by two
companies, besides its recent revival by
the newly formed Repertory Theater.
Augustin Duncan staged the original
production and created the title role
in this country. Dudley Diggs, of the
Theater Guild, created the part of
Jimmie Caesar in the original Amer
lean production. And in the recent re-
vival j. M. Kerrigan, who was Jimmie
Caesar in the original Irish production,
resumed the part.
While "John Ferguson" has been
we'll received in this country 1t has
languished In London, according to re-
port. Mr.. Ervine's remarks on condi-
tions In the theaters and management
in general are rather effective, whether
one agrees with them or not.
"The peculiar success of John Fergu-
som in America tragic piece
played in a fashionionable theater
in (New York;, by an unfashion-
able company-seems to have up
set many established beliefs about
the kind of play the public wants." says
st. John IRVINE. "There is a curious
faith held by theatrical managers that
the more empty play is the better
will the generality of audiences like 1t,
and large sums Of money are ex-
pended annually by these managers in
the production of puerile plays in the
hope that one of them will be suffi-

Dream" the duke in "Twelfth Night"
and Romeo in Romeo and Juliet"
Toward the end Of that season Sir
Herbert Tree was in Berlin and was SO
impressed with the young actor that
he gave him a contract calling for
several parts to be played in English
in London, but the outbreak of the
war automatically cancelled the con-
tract. He was virtually prisoner Of
war because he insisted on his al
legiance to Rumania, but he was given
freedom to come and 60 about his work,
and remained with Reinhart until 1917,
playing the leading parts in "Redemp-
uon," "The Doctors Dilemma" avid
overs Houses" and other Shaw plays,
besides appearing in plays by Haupt-
mann and Wedekind.
In 1917 Mr.. Schildkraut went to vi
emma. There he added Hamlet and
Richard II. to his Shakespearean roles.
He was Anatol in ''The Affairs Of An
atol." produced under the direction of
Schnitzler himself. He played in three
plays by American authors-"The yell
low Jacket" Romance" and 'The
Scarecrow." He also appeared in Sem
Benefits "La Cena dello Beffe," which
was called 'The Jest" when produced
in America. He played the part which

kraut, in the eight years he has been
on the stage, has played about 15o
parts--he says he can't tell himself the
exact number. In America a man has
to be old or at least we'll on in middle
age before he has played SO many parts

Joseph Schildkraut is one Of those
people, wise enough, as some wit has
put 1t, to choose the proper ancestors
for himself. With Rumanian father,
a Hungarian mother, Turkish grand
father and Spanish grandmother, he
had flying start when it came to the
matter Of temperament. All this, to
say nothing of the fact that his father
is Rudolf Schildkraut, we'll known in
Europe and America as an actor in
German and Yiddish. AS a child he
not only saw the best which the thea
ters Of Europe had to show, but he
lived yin the atmosphere of art and
artists.
His father had left his native coun-
try when seventeen because he wanted
to be an actor, and there was little OPP
pcrtunity in Rumania, He hesitated
between Russia and Germany as the
countries offering the best chances,
finally choosing Germany. He returned
to Rumania later for a number of
years, and it was while he and his
wife were living in Bucharest that the
son Joseph was born. When the boy
was about two years old the .elder
Schildkraut returned to the Berlin
stage.
Made His Debut in
"The Wanderer" in Berlin
In 1910 Rudolf Schildkraut came to
New York to head the German com
pany at the Irving Place Theater. He
brought his family with him, and
Joseph Schildkraut, who had decided
that he, too, was to be an actor. en-
tered the American Academy Of ORA
matte Arts. He could speak no Eng
lish when he enrolled at the school,
but he learned it rapidly, and when
the family returned to Europe three
years later he could speak the new
tongue as If he had never known any
other.
1t was on October 90, 1918, that the
younger Schiidkraut made his debut
rs an actor. It was at Max Reinhart's
Kammerspiele in Berlin, and the part
was that of the son in 1.-THE Wanderer. ~
In the course of that first year on the
stage Joseph SchilGkraut played such
parts as the fool in "King Lear
