What to do to
Go on the Stage
BY BROCK PEMBERTON
One of Americas Most Enlightened
Theatrical Producers

Theatrical Producers
The Stage of America and Of the
world in varying degree is Uttered
with incompetent men and women
who would much better be measur-
Ing out ribbons or rice or driving a
tractor but who, having felt the
pulsing thrill from audiences be-
yond the footlights. have not the
discernment or strength of will to
forsake this most fascinating Of
callings in which they are misfts.
MY advice then to young men AMI
women about to choose the stage as
a profession is not to do it until
they have searched their souls and
found there no trace OF uncertainty
as to their aptitude. For while the
stage holds a deadly fascination for
those who people 1t and is lavish in
its rewards for those it favors. 1t e
unspeakably cruel to the incompe-
tents.
Success in the theatre Is COM
pounded chiefly of these ingredients
personality. talent, belief in ones
self. and luck.
One must leave luck to the gods,
though without 1t one may be
abundantly endowed with the other
three ingredients and fail.
In these days OF school and other
amateur theatricals 1t is fairly easy
to test ones talent
Only don't rely on what the Inn
mediate family says.
"All the worlds a stage" q man
who knew . good deal about both
once wrote.
At the end of a home-talent show
given in New York recently a WE'LL
known comedian who has been
playing on Broadway for two years,
said to n of the newspaper critics
who had taken part: 81 don't Ike
this at all. You fellows did 1t 90
well it makes our job seem easy"
Everyone can act a little and the
thing to determine is whether you
can do it enough better than the
other to make it worth while.
Luck. belief, talent. personality
ality.
With it you name may blaze in
nitrogen lights; without it you will
dust the furniture at rise of curtain
or bear cards on silver salvers.
To determine whether or not you
have 1t I commend you to your mir.
rors. your friends and your enemies.
Having made UP your mind that
the stage will be poorer without
you, proceed 10 fortry yourself with
the broadest cultural background
obtainable through institutional and
self-education. You cannot know
too much of literature; you cannot
speak too many modern languages,
nor your w too we'll.
Equipped with the best education
you can command, join a STOCK
company in your part of the coun-
try. or come to New York and enroll
in one of several good schools of the
theatre. Either procedure will give
you the requisite groundwork end
prove whether you should continue.
II you choose stock do not stay in
the provinces too long but come to
New York at your earliest opportu-
nifty and list yourself with several
good agents and make the rounds
of the producing managers Offices
Then. If you are not dismayed by
Office boys and rebuffs and disap-
pointments and Items One and -Four
are on your side. you will get a jcI.
If you really belong on the stage
no role will be too small and no
effort on your part too great to
make the character live.

Permanent Producer
Has Big Advantage

The wisdom Of purchasing an auto.
mobile from n manufacturer with a
thoroughly substantial business is sci.
dom disputed. Not only is the pur.
chaser insured against an orphan"
ear for which he cannot get parts or
service but it is logical to expect that
he will get considerably greater values.
When a manufacturer is able to
purchase in large quantities at all
times at a discount when he can re.
tain a large national sales organiza-
ton through good or bad times-then,
it is generally admitted, he is at a
very great advantage over less fortu.
nate competitors.
In the industry, it is generally ad.
mitted that the Hudson Essex unit
combines most advantageously the
qualities of financial strength, manu-.
featuring facilities. and undoubted
permanence.
This financial stability has been a
tremendous asset to the Hudson and
Essex companies, especially in times
of general depression in business. Con.
structive policies could be mapped out
and executed, and thorough prepara-
tions made for the return Of norma,

AUDUBON SOCIETY APPEALS TO
ARDMORE CITIZENS TO PROTECT
LIVES OF FEATHERED FRIENDS

Under the personal direction of Mrs.
Sam Butler, president. the local Au-
dubon society is making a special ap-
peal TO the citizens OF Ardmore TO
protect bird life.
Plans are being made for a lecturer
Of national repute TO come to Ard
more TO talk on bird-lore. showing
what a friend the bird is TO man.
Mrs. Butler has appeared at n
number of civic clubs and will con-
tinue in this work until some defi-
mite action is taken in the matter.
Her address in part follows:
For four years I've been wanting
to make an appeal to YOU business
men in behalf Of our little feathered
triends-the birds. But you have al
ways seemed so busy dealing with
events of worldwide bearing that
was afraid you would say you had no
time, no need for Audubon society
work
That, possibly, was a mistake TO
feel that business men are too busy
to pay attention to nature in the
field or along educational lines. They,
especially, need the cheer and health
fu!ness of outdoor associations and
we all need the refining influence that
protection Of innocent wild life brings.
Disposition of the Quail.
First. I want to disabuse you
mind of an erroneous ideas you may
have as to the aims Of the Audubon
society. Some people think We are
fighting to put the quail on the song

struction OF cats, guns and small

effort of having the quail left perma-

very existence TO the game protection
associations. But we do want preser-
walton Of our game.birds between sea-
sons, conservation and enforcement OF
laws during seasons and protection for
our songbirds and harmless species at
all times.
The Economic Value.
Il don't feel it necessary to speak
to you about the educational or es-
thetic value Of birds, but there does
seem a very pressing need TO ac
quaint man with the economic value
of bird life Few people realize how
many insects one tiny bird can eat
