that she would make her own place in
the world. Because the theater was the
thing she loved above all other thincs
Mrs. Carter determined to go to David
Beiasco and ask for the opportunity to
prove herself.
Thus began the association between
Mrs. Leslie Carter and David Belasco.
which lasted through eighteen years
of brilliant success. Under his tutelage
she studied many, many parts. Tie
PUBLIC never saw her Interpretation of
them, but she worked none the less for
that. OF course, it was hard to wait
and work through several years before
she tried her wings on Broadway, and
harder still when at last the great hour
came and "The Ugly Duckling,' in
which she played the principal role,
proved failure. 1t was shortly with
1rawn, and Mrs. Carter was presented
ence more in a musical piece called
"Miss Helyett," in which she acquitted
herself with such credit that Mr. Be-
lasco determined to write play to
more adequately fit her talents That
play was "The Heart Of Maryland" in
which Mrs. Carter starred for three
seasons in this country and afterwafd
in London.
At the close Of her London season in
"Thc Heart of Maryland" Mrs, Carter
returned to the United States to- create
the title role Of '"zaza." ~zaza" had
its premiere in WHhington, on De-

"Du Barry" followed and likewise
had Its out~of 4town premiere in Wash

Criterion Theater, this city. After
one season in "Du Barry" and another
alternating between "Du Barry" and
"Zaza' Mrs. Carter appeared in
Andrea" at the Belasco Theater, which
she played until the spring of 1906,
when she severed her long association
with MI. Be]asco.
Subsequently Mrs. Carter appeared
under the management Of Charles Dill
lingham in d repertory of her most
successful plays. after which she be-
came her own manager, appearing in
"Kassa," a play by John Luther Long,
following which John Cort starred her
in 1.-TWO Women" at the Lyric Theatcr,
this city, and later presented her again
in repertory of her most successful
plays.

Mrs. Carter bought villa in France
about seven years ago, intending to
remain there in the peace and quiet
of retirement for couple of years, but
these two years heightened into seven

to London and saw "The Circle" It
seemed to Mr.. Selwyn that the part of
Lady Kitty had been written for Mrs.
Carter. So the first thing he did was
to secure the American rights to the
play. Then he went off to Paris

The Evolution OF a Star
Mrs. Leslie Carter

A na4nc in incandescent lights over
the portals OF 3 theater usually means
many previous years Of small parts
and much of personal sacrifice and
struggle. To this rule Mrs. Leslie
Carter is the outstanding exception.
AS far as the public is concerned she
began her dramatic career as a star.
Her name has been incnndesccnt in
fl ont of every theater in which Mrs.
Carter has ever played for the last
twenty-five years. Until her appear
ance under the selwyu management in
"The Circle" it has stood alone, Tor
throughout the years of Mrs. Carters
long association with David Bclasco
she held the center of every stage the
sole star of every production in which
she appeared under his management.
Mrs. Leslie Carter, however,, did not
win her place in the theater without
hard work. Her evolution as star
took place under the private tutelage of
Mr.. Belasco rather than III the public
eye. But through it all she worked un-
ceasingly to fulfill herself as she had
believed She might d. Arcm her earliest
youth. A Kentdekian BY birth, she
was brought up under the old time

Allan Pollock, star of "a Bill Of Di-
vorcement," ono Of the seasons few
outstanding successes, came to the con-
clusion some years back that if he
ever intended to amount to anything
as an actor it would BE up to him to
leave his native England and take a
fling at the drama in the vicinity of
Broadway and Forty-second Street,
New York City, U. S. A.
He had toured and toured in Eng

English players have come to this
country. and why so many have stayed
here after their arrival. "The open

be found in London. Because of this
fact many players who might have be-

now conspicuous figures in the theater
Of this country. And I am convinced
that the acting of English players now
in New York is of higher grade than
that furnished by the theatrical IA

Hilary Fairfield the most interesting

''The part Of the father in this new

ventional part, part that should BE-
made intensely dramatic but not in the
least bit theatrical, if such can be
avoided While the actor would NOT
say definitely whether his war expert

Mr.. Pollock doesn't feel that he owes
anything to the London stage, but he ia
grateful to the provinces. AS a youth
he had a singing voice, and appeared
in numerous musical Comedies. At nine-

SCULPTOR SEES ART
In BOSTON BRAKED
Partridge, After Look Over
Statues, Can Note No Ad-
vance in 25 Years.
SHAW MEMORIAL PRAISED
Removal of Phillips Brooks
Statue From Beside Trinity
Church Is Urged.

Special Despatch to THE New YoRK HEnALD
BOSTON. Aug. 20.-Wflliam Ordway
Partridge. sculptor. whose first statues
We're accepted in this city. Is here on a
visit after many years absence. He
said to-day:
Boston has not made any progress In
art in the last twenty-five years--not
let us say, from the time of the building
of the public library and the old art
museum"
Mr.. Ordway was born In Paris OF
American parents and has spent half OF
his life in America and half in the Old
World. where he has studied his art
from It's beginnings in Egypt to the last
note expressed by the sculptors OF
France.

works in sculpture in the city," he says,

House. as work of the first order by
the greatest sculptor of his time. Saint
Gaudens worked fifteen years on this
memorial and has produced an enduring
work of art
I'm the public garden the statue by
Thomas Ball OF Washington stands out
preeminently as one of the greatest
equestrian statues produced in this
knowledge of the anatomy of the horse,
the dignity with which the subject is
treated and the sculptor's knowledge Of
line and feeling for form easily atone
for this.
''The statue OF Edward Everett Hale
in the public garden does not represent
that tall. lean. inspired. absent minded
idealist we used to meet on Beacon
street or Hamilton place. with that far
away look in his eyes which bespoke the
idealst and dreamer-the great humani-
tartan.
The statue of Phillips Brooks, beside
Trinity Church, is an absolute failure
in every respect. Boston, having now
an art commission. might do well to
remove 1t some night while the public
was sleeping and replace it by a good
one by a sculptor who understood his
art and had an appreciation of the char
acter he was to delineate and embody in
the bronze"

munication are organized In an up to
date way This was not yet possible

n Should it be necessary to use also
German troops in an action Of the
cultured nations against the Soviet Gov
,srrment. this could only be realized
by an agreement between the States
OF the Entente and Germany, which
would secure the interests OF Germany
in a form perceptible to the German
people. The danger that such a new
German army. armed by the Entente
right turn against the Western powers
after the victory. Is quite excluded from
a purely military point of view, If ever
the Western powers should have by
any mistake supposed such a thing
possible.
First Of all this new German army
in Russia would remain dependent upon
the Entente. on account of reinforce
ments Of arms and requisites of war,
because neither Germany and much less
Russia, devastated by Bolshevism. were
able to supply such an army. France
would in any case retain the greatest
part OF her own army in her country,
and could march into Germany in case
the German Government should not OBJ
serve the agreement Finally. England
could at any time make use of the
blockade. On the other hand Germany
would be secure, from the simple rea-
son that an army advanced as far as
Moscow will remain first of all indis-
pensable, in order to safeguard the re-
construction of Russia after the down
fall of Bolshevisn1.
