Mckay Morris Work
With "Main Street"
Surprises BrOddlDay

Mckay Morris striking per-
Torrance as DIR. Kennicott in the
dramatized Main Street" brings
that actor into the limelight for the
first time as the portrayer of a
realistic roIe-in the past his ap-
pearances in leading parts have
been confined to the Dunsany plays
and the more spectacular drama,
There appeared to be a general feel
ing, in fact, that he would be out
of place in a modern play. Hence
the widespread surprise at his
Main Street" performance.
Before his Dunsany days, how
ever, Morris played minor roles In
quite a number of Broadway plays
His first appearance on the stage
was certainly amid Broadway sur
roundings-the part was that of
Childs' waiter in the realistic res
taurant scene in the final act OF
Belasco's production Of THE Gov
ernor's Lady" This was not In
New York, but during the second
season of the play in Chicago.
As a matter of fact Morris came
close to being a soldier instead OF
an actor. He was born at an army
post-Fort Sam Houston, in San An
tonic, Texas-where his father Col
Lewis Thompson Norris. was COM
mandant. 1t was Col. Morris in.
tention to send his son to West
Point, but his untimely death. when
in command of the Preside in San
Francisco, left the son free to shift
for himself. The youthful Morris
had early developed a fondness fol
the theater and after his fathers
death he found his way to Ne"
York.

WoolLcott Praises
CLenrence Danes Play
bill of DiUOrcentent''

When a busting night brings US
hve new productions all at once,
the first-nighters scatter in every
direction and. with their attention
thus distracted, II Is sometimes pos
sibls for a beautiful and distin-
guished play to slip comparatively
unnoticed past the sentries," says
Alexander Woollcott, the New York
critic.
Now the crter should go through
the streets calling out the good
news that a vivid, beautiful and
deeply moving tragedy has come to
town. This is A Bill of Divorce
ment,' the play by Clemence Dane,
which Is eloquently pTesented al
the George NJ. Conan theater-of all
places. OTIS as though they had
staged 'Daddy's Gone a-Hunting' at
the Winter Garden.) Four other
plays clamored for attention on the
night of its New York premiere:
A Bill of Divorcement' Is worth
more than all of them put together"
1T is unfortunate for several
reasons that the American producer
has chosen to retain the title under
which this play won its spurs in
England. To begin with, that title
is a phrase with no currency or
meaning in this country. In the
second place, the word enforcement
suggests to the American mind
something rather saucy and frivol-
ous-probably by unconscious as
ISOLATION with the word 'divertisse-
ment.' There will be many passers-
by in search of frolicsome entertain
ment who will sit resentful through
this play, which quietly bares sucn
heartache as most of our dramatists
are too trivial or too timid to explore
and express. In the third place, the
play deals only secondarily with d.
vorce. 1t is chiefly q study of her.
edity-of hereditary insanity.
Its story Is that Of Hilary Fair
field, an unbalanced young soldier
driven mad by she'll fire. Fifteen
years later, the mists lift from his
mind and he comes back home, a
gray, SCARED, twitching, abject fell
low. He Is confronted there with
the fact that his wife has divorced
him and Is on the eve of a happy
remarriage, that his daughter, who
has never even seen him and who
has hitherto known nothing of her
legacy, IL blissfully betrothed to the
youngster of her choice. What hap
pens thereafter is written with a
skillful, sympathetic, and unhinch-
ing hand"

Theater Audience
Is Group of Friends,
Al FOLSOM Holds

Here is a secret that would be
worth something more than a
million dollars TO you IL you took
IL, studied II. and then went and
did al it'd possessor has done. II is
how Al Jolson makes his audiences
like him. The comedian OF Bonn
DO" at the Jolson Fifty-NInth Street
Theater IN New York. told his Sc
cret in his dressing room a few
nights ago. OF course. there may
be contributing secrets.
To see a huge musical extrava-
ganza run along quietly, then to see
this blackface actor come rushing
before the suddenly animated
throngs out front naturally brings
the question: How does he do it,"
Says Mr.. Jolson:
To win and hold an audience a
man must use just the method used
by the man IN a small room with q
few friends. The most popular men
are those who are fair. sympathetic,
humorous, without smallness or
meanness. and good-natured. These
men themselves may not be con-
scious of the fact that they possess
these qualities, but their friends are
never unmindful Of that fact.
so when 1 step before one OF my
audiences I always imagine that
am in a small room with a few
friends whom like very much and
who like me. imagine further
that they have entertained me Law
ishly and that | owe to them many
favoFs. Then l imagine that they
have told me that 1t is my turn to
entertain them. At once l go at it
in this spirit and I think I succeed.
At least l have been told so.
Il have a natural vein Of senti-
ment and l dip into that when I
sing songs. The audience rewards
me just as it does the man in the
small room. And, OF course, I re-
act under their approval for all
that makes life worth living Is good
feeling between members of the
great human family"
