MANAGERS "COME BACK"
Return of WagenhaIs & Kemper as
Producers Interests stage World.

when the compilers of the history of
the theatre for 1890 come to cast up ac-
counts, unless all signs fail, they will
perforce record as one of the outstand-
ing events the return to the producing
field OF Wagenhals and Kemper. A
theatrical generation ago they were
popular and successful producers OF
plays. Theatregoers well remember
their productions OF Paid in Full' and
Seven Days" And then the partners
suddenly announced their retirement.
Their explanation was simple enough
they were going to spend the rest of
their days enjoying the fruits of years
of toll
Less than a year ago the theatrical
world was surprised and interested to
hear that they were to resume produce

Comedians Haze
to Be Vocal Riots

The Howard Brothers (Willie and
Eugene) joined the Winter Garden al
most at its inception, so few members
OF that big organization are better quail
fed to scourse on the unusual type of
audience found there, since they vir-
tually grew up with the place. They
were melted to talk for publication on
this subject the other night while they
were crawling into their socks and
grease paint IN their dressing room for
"The Passing Show of 1921" the new
production in which these comedians
now are being starred-which means
more scrambllng quick changes than
ever.
"They certainly are distinctive au-
diences," said Eugene, the elder and
ampler brother. as he suddenly discov-
cred that he was putting on Willie's in
terror pantalettes-any one noting the
difference in size between the two would
marvel how the mistake could occur.
I'VE have to exagserate everything al
most as IL we were trying to signal to
Mars"
You have to be loud" said Willie,
putting It with brutal frankness. That s
why AL Jolson makes such success
here. because he has to be vocal riot,
and he is one"
"They had the late Clifton Crawford
here a few years ago." said Eugene
taking up the refrain. "He was very
funny--but also very quiet-and his
work seemed too faded for the audience.

"ERMINIE" COSTS S12,5Oo.

The revival Of "Erminie" at the Park
Theatre tomorrow night makes inter-
esting a comparison of the cost OF the
original production made in 1886 and
the present one.
Willie Edouln and Frank Sanger pur-
chased the American rights on specula-
tion, and Rudolph Aronson, then man.
ager Of the New York Casino. ventured
practically all he possessed to make II
a success. The hit II made Is history,
and Mr.. Aronson proved that he mad
struck a verltablo mint. The profits
were counted by hundreds of thousands
and the authors received nearly $500
each for the first 500 performances.
The figures given by a. III. Candy. IN
1856 business manager OF the Casino
make an interesting comparison with
these of the present day. The running
expenses of the Casino were at that
time considered very heavy. and Il was
then considered that an attraction must
play 10 81 800 in order TO make ends
meet. At least 5000 should be reached
TO give them what they termed a sub
stantial profit.
But to turn over the pages OF time
and examine the figures OF to-day
brings one OF the most startling con-
trasts imaginable. George c. Tyler, as
sociated with william Farnum. has re-
vived 'sErmlnic." and the approximate
figures represent an investment OF $50
0c0. as against probable s22,5No in 1856.
The salary and expense sheet OF the
present production, headed by Francis
Wilson and DE Wolf Hopper, totals
trlfle over 500 weekly Therefore,
taking all the figures OF to-day into
consideration. Il is necessary TO play

certainly loud for we've grown accus-
toned to conversational war whoops.
Our tones drop as we go further away
from New York, so that by the time we
have reached the asthma belt out in
Bismarck, n. D., we've shrunk to a

1.-THE shape and size of the house make
the work difficult" went on Willie, while
Eugene caught his breath after this
burst of oratory. Its so wide that it's
hard to establish an intimate contact
with every one in your audience and you
can't turn your face sideways to the
audience and say What time is it?' to
another actor unless you own a good
roar. You have to keep your face in
circulation from one side OF the audi
torium to the other. 1t makes you feel
like a concert singer. You've got to step
down to the footlights and let yourself
go-then those In back think you're just
talking to them as man to man. Lines
must be more obvious than in smaller
houses and they must be made clear
with lot OF business-and even then
those out front sometimes refuse TO
laugh"
They're a cosmopolitan lot" said Eu-
gene, "agd in the early days this was
especially so when they had Miss Gaby
Deslys, and the place used to be so filled
with Frenchmen you wondered where
they grew so many. After the first few
weeks. when the real New Workers. have
all come, the audiences are mainly COM
posed of out of town buyers from PUNK
sutawney. who always think OF the Hip
podrome and the Winter Garden when
they're native New Workers. for a couple
of days and want to tell the folks at
home how the town received them
But" and here Eugene leaned forward
to confide one OF the big secrets of his
life, "they don't come TO see the come
dians-what they want to see is the
girls, pouring out OF every pore in the
house"
But when we go on the road" said
Willie with misch.evous relish. that's
when we have our innings"

Of its life. So the manager was working
on congenial material.
Mr.. BelascO on the Actors Art,
Nobody knows the American theatre
as Mr.. Belasco. His activities have COW
cred longer period than any other man
ager. He has, moreover, been active in
every branch of the stages art. Re-
Gently there has been discussion of the
relative value of the play or the actor
in the effect of a dramatic performance.
Which contributes more, the player or
the dramatst? Was this always true?
When did the play become greater than
the actor? When did the great actors
pass? Mr.. Belasco has answered in
these words
THE day of great acting, of great ac-
tors, has never gone. At least that is
my conviction. Formerly acting was
more primitive. To the layman II seemed
greater because the public was more
outwardly conventional and less sophis-
ticated. But since subtleties and psy-
chology have become a part of the the
atre fewer actors seem great, the stand
ard being so much higher. The vision
of the playwright. like that OF the actor.
has alsoN deepened. Those who go to
the tHedlTe are HlOTc dIdlyIlCt IneTe-
fore they seek logic back Of the emo
tions.
ut is as though the art of Whistler,
with his fine touches and searching i'm
precision as we'll as the emotional colors
of Rembrandt have entered into the
methods of the playwrights as well as
the actors. As Deburdu says: 'Acting's
as easy as shelling peas be sin
cere but never be trite and never. oh,
never try to be-or seem-too clever
What you mean when you do II must
of course be quite clear and It must
seem quite clear what you are going to
do. For an audience must always feel
sure of you. Yet, when you do 1t. 1t
must seem accidentally done. That's
not so difficult as II sounds it's an effect
quite easy to get when an audience Is
watching you and the play hangs on
you. Ah-and before forget. never.

The Spirit of the Play.

Drably the scene is left to only the
theatre people who talk of the business
of the evening. the intemperance of this
actor, the great drawing power of that
one. Sacha Guitry builds out OF the cir
cumstance OF the theatres life the highly
colored and picturesque facade to his
play which gradually narrows down to
intenser and more concentrated emo
tions. The spirit of the day, however is
in the exquisite boudoir Of Marie and in
ths hui ioler abode of the hero. Indeed.
Mr.. Bslasco has with mastery skill
onpgnt the very essence of n remote
period and a remote spot. But he is an
incurable romanticist. It is the dominat-
INK element in all his productions in
-iSnh II can possibly find place. IL must
then be Mr.. Belasco's romantic sense
which has led him so unerringly along
the right path In the new play from

know you speak quietly. they'll take care
to catch every word. and anything
they've been at pains to listen to In
tently will seem more worth laughing at.
Another method OF getting laughs-and
keeping them-is not TO speak too quick

But the irresistible Cali is there, so
when the dancers American contract
was finally made it was for a tour Of
the country.
Amidst all the rumors of failures and
premature endings of seasons, the sue
cess of Nine Pavlowa has continued
without abatement. At the Manhattan
Opera House the receipts were unpre-
cedented. The same thing happened in
Boston, and two performances in one
day in Chicago drew about 100000. It
seemed everywhere as If the country
were awaiting the Russian prima
donna, and nothing could keep the pub

So the lucky manager who brought her

complain of his luck, although the
