and summer, proved one thing very clearly
which was that masculine good looks are
as valuable as wildcat securities.
This splendid specimen had been turned
down by every theatrical producer in New
York for no better reason, he said, than
his extreme good looks. They did not
interest themselves enough to find out il

self in this guise on the avenue was to
attract questioners to whom he might re-
late his bad reception by the producers
and perhaps shame them into changing
their minds until they gave him a chance.
1t was desperate remedy and it failed.
incidentally it settled point hitherto
moot. The girls<on the avenue looked at
him curiously but not provocatively. He
was beauty man" and therefore not
their kind. He never started a ripple of
Irritation.
Has the matinee idol fallen off his ped
estal? Are the days of Charles Thorne
and Harry Montague never to return?
There are old ladies lingering on to-day
who thrill when they hear the names of
these long dead actors and who preserve
their photographs along with other sacred
follies of youth. Yes, that kind of idol is
dust, but new kind as naughty, as in
vincible, has been erected in his place.
Shaw and the other Edwardian writer's
for the stage put the new man up there.
They rejected types Of masculine beauty
and enthroned Capt Brdssbound, a
Dudgeon, big strong, he-men, full of
strange oaths and dominating their women
by force instead of intrigue. The hero Of

ample of the type who won by the harshest
kind of masculinity. He has had a thou

the screen, while the type of the cave man
goes better on the vocal stage. This is
how an actor expressed the change in feel

Sorry He Is So Good Looking!

talent they do not carry far. And even
with talent masculine loneliness is often
drawback to true success on the stage.
Take the case of Joseph Schildkraut,
who has been called the "handsomest man
in the world" This actor has demonstrated
real talent-even the critics admit it-but
matinee audiences pay little attention to
this mans acting because they are to a
great degree hypnotized by his pulchri-
tude.
So he says he is sorry he is so good
looking.
Max Reinhardt, famous Berlin producer,
under whom Schildkraut made his debut
as an actor, is said to be responsible for
the handicap of "beauty-man" under which
he labors. There is actually little demand
for masculine good looks on the stage. A
fine presence is often demanded, strong
features are required, but beauty per Sc
in the male is viewed rather contemptu-
ously by the man who engages actors, just
as it is by the man who hires the sellers
of bonds And from Shakespeare down.
playwrights have written few parts where
good looks are essential. Osric in Ham
let" is the Bard's only contribution Of
this kind.
They tell story of Beerbohm Tree about
the Osric who played with him in the
melancholy tragedy that is to the point.
The actor. who was well known beauty
man, came to dress rehearsal surprisingly
enhanced as to looks. Tree looked him
over with apparently speechless admira-
ton. Said he.

are reported as homogeneous. Their
habits will be watched here for definite
knowledge.
Among these new birds were species
the Australian curator had never seen,
such as the Ka Ka, which is parrot from
New Zealand, and an Australian fruit
pigeon. He particularly admired our speci-
men Of the blue Bird of Paradise, the first
one ever brought to this country. He
made his advent in 1920.
"Peacocks have no mates said Mr..
Crandall, but Of all birds the parrot is
the most faithful to his, The same degree
Of fidelity has been attributed to the long
tailed sunbirds found in the plains regions
of Barumbo, Africa, but these FURNISHED
green birds are new and have to be care
fully observed.
"One night as dusk was falling on the

There were 10000 of these birds, that flew

mitted to do 80 for moment only, then

Many Birds in Europe
Are Anything but Moral
THE parrots are faithful birds in their
unions, which last for life. Several SINH
lar species that exist in Africa and East
India have been proved to have the same
instincts as the parrots Of South America
but in Europe there are a good many
birds, several families atfeast, resembling
American birds in everything but morals.
The red wing blackbird is there poly
androus. In the snipe family are found
the same traits. The female does the
counting and the male sits on the eggs.
She is polyandrous also. Unfortunately
there exist specimens Of this light female
of this family in North America.
"The button quail without hind toes)
has some bad family habits, but again
they reflect on the female, which does the
counting and leaves the incubation to her
spouse. Another gross violator OF the
marriage bond is the Whydah bird, be
longing to the weaver family. The Why
dab is sadly polygamous."
Almost clean bill of health may be
given our American birds. Coming here
from far off countries where ideas OF
morality among humans are based on a
different standard, the birds, even those
which had been in their old haunts not
above suspicion, have felt the influence OF
this new. clear climate, where ancient
vices often die out, and have responded to
IL, the ornithologists say, by dropping their
old ways and taking on new customs.

Family Quarrels Cease
When Home Life Starts
"Other birds quarrel sometimes with
their wives and threaten breakup of the
family, but these dissensions are rarely
serious, and quarrels cease when the seri-
GUS business of their bird lives Is begun.
1t is said, especially by the poets, that
doves mate for life and that on the death
from any cause of her mate the female
dove will mourn and mourn, but never
take another husband. I'm not prepared
to say this is not true, OF rather that it
has never happened. but am inclined to
think it is pretty but false conceit u

strident, 'cocky' and excessively fiirtatious
as these birds are, nevertheless are mo-
nogamous and when mated prove faithful"
To add force to the statement that fidel-
ity was characteristic to the bird family
everywhere, Mr.. Crandall went farther
afield and instanced the homogeneous
traits of foreign birds, while claiming that
this admirable trait was best exemplified
in this northern half of the western con-
tinent.
The troupial, a famous bird, exceed
ingly intelligent, the most delightful pet
ever brought out Of the Brazilian forests
easy to tame and to keep but difficult to
breed, is homogeneous. And so is the
emu, an Australian bird, once supposed to
belong to the ostrich family. He is quar-
relsome fellow, the emu, but although he
makes life pretty unhappy for his wife,
threatening ever and anon to leave her,
he always comes back. His work in life
is pretty tedious. It's the male emu, poor
devil, who incubates the eggs, having to
sit on them for the wearisome period Of
eight weeks while Madame Emu, her work
of laying done, can enjoy herself, ranging
over the Australian plains or in other law
full ways.
