expect .its arrival from Hungary, Mr..
Schildkraut volunteered to hum all the
music from memory to some one who
could write it down and arrange it for
orchestration. Deems Taylor, the So
so, whose comment at the piano de-
lighted the audience of "a Man About
Town." offered to cooperate The re-
suit of Schildkraut, Taylor & Co.'s
collaboration is heard during the heav-
en- scene, whenever the thieves sing,
whenever the heaven theme is intro
duced by the heavenly policemen, and
between the acts.
All the music is by the Hungarian
composer Humperdinck, except the
thieves song, Look out here comes
the damn police" The music of this is
an old Hugarian folk-song, whose Tilt
is haunting but difficult for wording.
When the direct translation of Mol
mars words for the song were tackled,
Mr.. Taylor and Mr.. Schildkraut dis
covered that they were singing a. very
Irish refrain. The words twisted the
notes out of their nationality. and to
prevent this the translation had to, be
retranslated. The present version is
more than satisfactory, to judge by the
enthusiasm with which Joseph Schild.
kraut sings it in the play and out of it.

Heading the conglomeration of nom
sense entitled Snapshots of 1921"
which the Selwyns and Lew Fields are
presenting at the Selwyn Theater, are
three stars whose gifts of travesty and
song have endeared them to the heart
Of America as only those who are able
to make the world laugh are ever en-
deared. They are Nora Bayes, Lew
Fields and De Wolf Hopper.
Taking singly their respective evolu-
tions from obscurity to their present
stellar positions in the theater, we be-
gin with Nora Bayes, although it is a
difficult matter to discover the period
in the life of this entertainer when the
word "obscure" could be appropriately
applied to her.
For Nora experienced few Of the
hardships which commonly attend the
career Of an artist. AS little girl in
Chicago the exceptional quality Of her
voice was recognized wherever it was
heard, and it soon became apparent
that her method of putting over" a
song was unique. From infancy the
career Of Nora Bayes has been a tri-
umphal march to the deepest recesses
of the heart of her public.
1t began in school, when her ire
pressible fun captivated teachers and
students alike, nor is there to-day any
abatement in the abandonment to the
pure spirit of fun with which she
gives herself in the absurd travesties
of the Selwyns' Snapshots of 1921"
Throughout this new revue Nora Bayes
laughs loudly and disrespectfullv at
life and at the people who take human
experience in too serious a manner.
The public might long ago have re-
sented being kidded had not the in
lmitable comedienne "kidded" herself
with an even keener sense of the ridic-
ulous than that which inspires her in
formality with her audiences.
Not What She Sings,
But How She Sings, That Counts
Miss Bayess ability to establish an
understanding between her audiences
and herself has been as great factor
as her singing in building her great
popularity. Although her success has
been associated with the Ziegfeld Fol
hes" and many other revues, it is in
vaudeville that the irrepressible Nora
became best known.
1t was in vaudeville that she first
gained the attention of entertainment
seekers, making her first professional
appearance on the stage OF the old

Original Hungarian Tunes
Used LIN Production of ssI4iliom''

Some day you may be startled with
q snatch of song to the effect of 'Look
out, here come the damn police, the
damn police, the damn police!" But
don't jump and grab your hip or make
some other break. 1t will be only some
one who has been to "Lilion," which
the Theater Guild is presenting to
crowded houses at the Fulton, and
can't get this tune out of his head.
The music is all Hungarian and was
used in the original production in
Budapest and again in the revival of
"Liliom" at the Burg Theater in Wen
ma. However, it did not come directly
from Europe, but after lapse of
years and through messenger.
Joseph Schildkraut, who plays the
title role of the roughneck, was the
only one who had seen the play. He
was anxious that the music of the
original be used in the Theater Guild
production. Since it was too late to

James Barton, who brings a comic
genius to the role of the bogus Grand
Duke Hubenstitch in "The Last
Waltz" the Oscar Straus operetta, at
the Century Theater, is a product of
the burlesque and vaudeville houses.
He has played in all parts of the
United States, dancing with this show,
impersonating the tramp with that,
clowning as the spirit moved him, and
the spirit moved him pretty briskly
and continuously.
= 1t is just such a career that has
made him the versatile comedian that
he is to-day. He can do almost anything,
from knockabout stunts to character
portrayals. Life has held hard strug-
giles for him. 1t was only by sheer
pluck and hard work that he was able
to force recognition of his talents and

for an advertising agency, which used
her lovely features to adorn q sugar

for six months or more and then de-
cided she wanted to go into motion
pictures. She didn't ask for big part
and she didn't get one. A little bit
here and bigger bit there. but onsv
little parts came her way for a long
time. Sometimes there were weeks
and weeks without anything, but she
stuck to her purpose.
Finally, after year and a half, her
chance came. Mr.. Robertson, one of
the most eminent of American direc-
tors, the man who created the film
version Of Robert Louis Stevenson's
''nr. Jekyll and MIR. HYDE" with John
Barrymore in the title roles. selected
her for the part of Grizel in that most
charming and most difficult of come
dies, Sentimental Tommy" But let
MIR. Robertson tell his story.
Had Beauty and Talent;
Technique Came With Work
"In all the years that I have been
on the stage and worked as director
of pictures I have never known a girl
so eager to learn and SO willing to
work to satisfy that eagerness. We
all know girls who are eager to learn,
but SO many never get beyond the ex-
preston of .hat eagerress. May Nc
Avoy used to live arou..i the studios.
When she wasn't acting she was watch
ing the older actors and actresses,
learning the little tricks of walking, of
standing up and sitting down, Of ex-
pressing an emotion without too much
apparent effort. She was always study
ing something, always glad to be cor
rected and always quick to grasp any
suggestion. She always had beauty
and talent. and the technique came
quickly because she worked"

was "Over There" and it went across
with popularity so great that it was
heard all over the world.
She Followed "Over There"
All Through the Southern CAMPS

"Over There" so endeared Nora
Bayes to our soldiers who were just
then entering the war that she followed
it with unseldsh service, singing
through an entire summer in Southern
camps.
In her own productions, 1.-TWO Hours
of Song" Ladies First" and "Her
Family Tree" Nora Bayes proved her
self producer capable of maintaining
that same intimate touch with her
audiences which she has achieved in
her role of star. In both capacities it
has been her buoyant spirit of fun,
her irrepressible tendency to burlesque
life, her ability to impress the world
with her feeling of loving comradeship
toward it, which are responsible for the
position she holds on the American
stage.

les Her Fourth Comic
Alliance With Lew Fields

After her first vaudeville experience
Miss Bayes betook her comedy to the
Fisher Stock Company in San Fran
cisco. After that engagement she went
to Europe for a three-year period of
study. Returning to America, she was
engaged for the first edition of the
"Follies." This was in 19O7-'OS. Hay
ing assisted to start this revue on its
career, Miss Bayes allied herself with
Sam Bernard and his Nearly a Hero"
production, but when this was done she
went back to the "Follies" for another
period of tickling the risibilities of the
zlegfeld public. Her first association
with Lew Fields was in "The Jolly
Bachelor" Her second appearance with
him was in the all-star cast which
opened the Forty-fourth Street Thea
ter, which comprised Marie Dressler
and Frank Daniels. besides Miss Bayes
and Lew Fields. The third association
with Fields was in "The Sun Dodgers"
and the fourth now represented by
Snapshots of 1921"
After her. appearance in "The Sun

May McAvoy Makes First
Appearance as Film Star

When. May MeAvcy, Ave feet tall and
weighing less than g hundred pounds,
first appeared on Broadway screen
The Tribune reviewer predicted a bril-
liant future for her. The little girl had
all the marks of real star of the
screen. Beauty, grace and some acting
ability were hers. And she Aimed as
few of our greatest stars can film.
Lights and shades played about her
wonderfully modelled head and cleanly
chiseled features until one hardly
realized that it was a motion picture.
She was one of the very, very few per-
sons apparently born for screen work.
The second time The Tribune re-
viewer saw May McAvoy it was at the
Criterion, where the little novice had
the role of Grizel in Sir James M. Bar
rie's Sentimental Tommy" that de-
lightful production by John S. Robert
son of Barrie's two stories, "senti-
mental Tommy" and Tommy and
Grizel" Then the little girl had made
great strides in her profession. She
was not only the rare beauty of the
screen. She was an accomplished and
finished actress. And she was only
eighteen.

The picture is "a Private Scandal" and
