British Accent
Hers by Heritage

" HERE is something in being
born in Australia. after all.
Now when Dsphone Pollard
plays in London she is billed as
the American Coincidence" the
New York dancer" and all that
sort OF thing, and over here il is
almost impossible TO eradicate the
impression that she is a product
Of the London music halls. So,
merely by being born in Australia.
Miss Pollard, who appears this
week at B. F. keith's, becomes an
international character wherever
she goes.
The reason is. of course. that no
one ever thinks OF Australia with.

likely to think of vaudeville art.

that land half way across the
earth, even though Annette kel.
herman has succeeded in giving it
a bit of fame.
But there are handicaps. too.
1t seems to be a characteristic OF
any person born beneath the Brit
i.h flag to say "bawth" and "Iawf'
instead Of bath" and laugh" II
matters not whether they hail
from Mayfair or Melbourne, the
British accent is there, and il
sticks. Miss Pollard, when she
first came TO America. had II in
large quantities. and the other
girls in the shows where she ap.
peared naturally thought, at first,
that she was English. Then, when
they discovered that she was
eagerly anticipating a trip abroad,
they put it down to affectation and
thought she was entirely lah de.
dab.
I'VE know darn well she's never
been in England, and why does
she need to be upstage?" was their
point OF view.
But "upstage" is something that
Daphne Pollard never was, and she
succeeded in making friends in
spite of her accent. For Ameri-
can consumption she tries to trim
that broad "a" but her Australian
heritage persists. She will prob
ably retain vestiges of what they
call at Harvard the "Groton &C.

which serves as a background for

This is the largest studio set ever

Twenty-six tons Of properties
were imported from France to pro-

More than 800, 900 feet Of lumber
were used in building the scenery.
There were 800 tons of paving
stones laid to give the streets the
proper touch Of realism.
With brush or with pneumatic
spray, ninety barrels Of paint were
spread over the setting.
For further realism, 1000 pa nes
of glass were put into the windows
facing the streets Of the play me-

Guild. The guild has the knack
of casting-if may call it a
knack, when perhaps it is q won
derful gift.
Can you imagine the elderly
gentleman" in the hands of a less
intelligent actor than Albert
Bruning, who might have been
driven to lunacy by such a role?
Can you contemplate the chsrac-
ters known as Joyce.Burge and
Lubin in other hands than those
Of A. p. Kaye and Claude King?
Can you think Of anybody finer
than Margaret Wyrherly to give
the proper values to such parts
as the Parlor Maid, the Domestic,
Minister, the Oracle, the She.Ab-
cient, and the Voice of the
Serpent? I cant.
Many actors could have looked
these roles perhaps better than
those selected by the Theater
Guild. But none could have spok.
en- them with such mastery pre-
cision and with such perfection Of
speech. IL seemed almost a pity
to waste SUI b acting upon such pif-
fle. Permit me to say that the
number o. platitudes uttered by
these Shaw characters was ex-
traordinar.iy great. And the fun.
niest thins about it ali was that
the most p.atitudinous utterances
were received by the elect" with
oracular pomposity. 1t really was
most curious. Shaw has no kick
coming. He has been melted out
the most gallant Of treatments by
the Theater Guild. The guild sat
at his feet and assumed quite
wrongly that he was cozing
precious words of extreme wisdom.
In many cases, the copybooks
could have done as neatly.

derful casting gift that Mr.. Woods
possesses, but I have seen it time
and time again. Do you remember
the delicious comedy "Happy-Go-

Could there have been a finer or
more exultantly appropriate cast?
