The trouble is that the towering

University of California he made a
reputation in dual roles-as an ath-

Theater at Berkeley. He varied the
monotony of breaking records on the
athletic field by breaking another in
the theater-he played more leads
during his term at the university than
any predecessor.
Then came the world war and a
period of service in Uncle Sans

chosen for leads at the Alcazar Thea.

terry melodrama of the orient. in which
he >triumphed last year in both Chi

I'VE of the theater world-we be-
hind the scenes, as well as
those who write about our plays and
our acting-know that there is a
strange psychology governing the
public's attitude toward play de-
clares Mr. Walker Whiteside.
ut often happens that what the
gentlemen of the press and we of
the stage hold will be substantial
hit abruptly fails to excite even mild
interest, no matter how important its
theme, how well constructed. or how
brilliant it's writing.
when I first saw the 'Deluge.' I
considered it one of the best con-
struoted, best written, best styled
plays l had ever seen. 1t held my In
terest every minute; it carried big
booming note. Our critics delighted
me when read their unanimous
praises of the play. But it failed to
interest even any class Of the pub
lie. Its recent revival, l am tod,
was no more successful.
why was it unsuccessful? No one
knows.
II have noticed one phase Of our play
producing business. and that Is that
once a play fails in New York. even
though produced before its time. no
future presentation of the piece there
will bring success. The critics may do
their best to breath life into it: the
PLAYERS may give inspired perform
ances Of their respective roles. but it
is through for all time, SO far as New
York is concerned.
But such condition does not OBJ
tain away from New York.
when my first presentation Of The
Typhdpn" was made at st. Louis, 1
played to pitably poor business. Then
I went to Chicago. where the play was
on view for four weeks Ny business
was a little better. l next brought
"The Typhoon" to New York. My
opening night gave me a gross OF
only 500: my next night was 500;
nv Wednesday matinee was but $125.
Then we started to grow little, but
l knew on the opening night that the
play was a success. We moved from
the Fulton Theater to the Hudson.
where we ran until well into the hot
months. And the very places where
"The Typhoon" failed to attract be-
fore its New York presentation gave
US overwhelming audiences upon our
return visits.

VAUDEVILLE seems to be Turing
many we'll known stars into its
ranks.
Just a few weeks ago Manager Rob-
bins presented Raymond Hitchcock at
B F. Keith's; a few weeks later Lionel
Atwill, Mr.. Belasco's star. headlined in
a dynamic little skit Of clown life; and
now comes William Faversham, late of
1.-The Silver Fox" who opens tomorrow
in "A Marriage Has Been Arranged,
by no less playwright than Alfred
Sutro.
Surely this is good omen for vaude-
VILE. In means, in short, that the
standard Of the two-a-day has risen to
a plane where dramatic headliners are
willing to leave their three and four
act plays and take themselves to the
vaudeville stage.
William Faversham has beheld the
