Harry Mestayer Achieved
Fame by Hard Work Route
Leaps From Role As Chinaman in "The Son.
Daughter" to Part in "The Right
To Strike"

Some actors have fame suddenly
thrust upon them through some
lucky twist of fate, but by far the
greater number achieve success in
the school of perseverance and hard
knocks.
II you ask Harry Mestayer, he
will freely admit that his twenty
years or so on the stage have held
their full share of grinding hard
ships and persevering struggles.
The result is that the services of no
character actor on the American
stage are more eagerly sought for
than Mestayer's, and his extraordi-
nary wide range. Of characterization
makes him a valued asset in nearly
any cast.
Like many another good actor,
Mestayer received his early train
ing on to Pacific Coast in the old
days when transcontinental the
atrical tours were rare and the
coast cities depended for their
theatrical entertainment upon com
panies nutured and developed in
San Francisco or Seattle. In that
arduous school an actor, had, to
learn to play many parts, and to
play them all we'll. lMestayer can
name nearly two hundred parts
that he appeared in in those DAYS
and then his memory falls, al
though he is sure there were many
more.
Space does not permit Of telling
over the parts he has created on
Broadway during the past ten
years. but they have been many, and
every one has been gem OF
thoughtful artistry.
Last year he was featured with
Leonore Uric in THE Son-Daugh-
ter" and scored heavily as the
Chinese william in that piece. From
that role to the part Of a fiery
agitator in The Right to Strike
Is q long leap in range, but Tully
feels confident that Mestayer's per-
Torrance win be even more effec-
tive.
