many of her more famous rivals are

Clare Eames seems up to date the
most likely candidate for the part. She
is comparatively inexperienced, but
already she understands something
about playing queens. She is now
acting the young Princess Elisabeth in
THE Prince and the Pauper." Mr..
Faversham had previously engaged
her to act the part of the Virgia Queen
In the spectacle which she and Lewis
Kinds gave at the Century Theatre.
So she is. I'm view of her short ex-
perience. not unfamiliar with the i'm

a niece of the former prima donna of
the Metropolitan Opera, Mime. Emma
Eames. She has been on the stage for
four years. Recently she began the
cultivation of her voice. with the idea
OF adopting the operatic stage. Last
season she acted with Ethel Barry

Knows His Audiences.
These are, of course, observations Of
great value TO an author for the stage
But Mr.. Archer has learned other things
equally important. He knows that au-
diences are always profoundly moved
by the sight OF beloved hero or hero
inc in peril from which they are ulti-
mately rescued. Mr.. Archer probably
took notice" of this fact the first time
he saw Dion Boucicault's adaptation OF
Jessie Dean" or "The Siege OF Luck
now"
1t probably was still more impressed
on him when In his capacity as critic
he visited some twenty years ago the
Adelphi Theatre in London to form

1t was the stockade scene with the un-
fortunate women reading from the
burial service while the Indian drums
monotonously beat outside that gave
this melodrama its most raclxing shiv-
ers. 1t would have been Of no advan-
tage to Mr. Archer to see THE, Drag

Theatre four years ago. The compound

flashed In the pan. So he put this
some kind Of scene in his play. These
facts are enough to qualify Mr.. Archer
as one critic who can tell how to write
a play with real authority. The sue
cess of THE Green Goddess has proved
his wisdom.
Taking "Mecca" Away.
Morris Gest Is taking the beautiful
Mecca" away from the sight of New
Workers. They were sufficiently appre-
ciativc and filled the Century Theatre.
But II seems that even the Century
Theatre filed does not mean all the
ducats that are necessary to make the
risk of such an investment worth the
taking. SO the most lovely of all his
superb spectaclcs Mr.. Gest Is taking to
Chicago because the massive Auditori-
um there will hold money enough to
justify the experiment by yielding a
fortune TO its entrepreneur. If there is
any danger that anything of the kind
will happen here again somebody must
build theatre large enough to pay Mr..
Gest for his desire to provide beauty
and taste for the masses.
