Alice Brady and Romance.

4 LICE BRADY. who comes to keith's
this week in Cassie Cook of the
Yellow Sea- by John Cotton and
Daisy Andrews, has been giving a
great deal of time to the analysis of
romance. its tendencies and it's
virtues.
The modern girl" thinks Miss
Brady, "is losing a lot by casting
romance of the older sort aside. She
has taken on a masculine veneer. and
Is not getting the romantic thrill she
should
However, the talented daughter of
William A. Brady believes that the
next few years will witness a renais
sance of romance, and that the world
will feast royalty on the art products
of romance on the stage, in literature,
in poetry. in music and in painting.
Romance might be said to be the
Joy of suffering. No one can con-
ceive of romance in which there was
not suffering. in which, in fact. suf-
fering is not the chief essence" Miss
Brady contends. Think of the old
schoolgirl romances. Did they not
contain that element of suffering?
Sometimes 1 think romance is more
poignant then than ever again in life.
The suffering is so erwhelming,
and the sorrow is SO vivid. OF course.

the clouds: but there were always

Washington Holds Them.

MEMBERS of Congress have long

continue a Washington residence for
as long as possible. and the great
war brought to light the peculiar
lure of the city for thousands who
came to the capital in the stress of
wartime and found themselves I'M
willing to leave afterward.
Now it seems that stagefolk must
be added, TO the list of those who
find Washington irresistible once they
have sojourned long enough in the
capital to really learn it's ways.
Instances of the lure of Washington
for stage folk was encountered dur

France.
However. although the back
ground was designed with TIL. en-

attention. the artist imbued it with
a sentiment so beautiful and yet so
subtle that the average person would
not appreciate it. The French foyer
meaning fireplace, is the word for
home and in that stage room
everything is grouped about the open

how the audience last sees them.

BY ELENoRE DE WITT EBY.

GRACE GEORGE journeyed to Paris
to see the French production of
ITO Love-" so that the American stage
might not lose any Of the touches
which the author had given to make
1t a success.
THE French actress who played the
role of Helene in Paris was very like
me" Miss George explained in a talk
with the writer. She had blond hair
and was about my height. and had the
same long nose. and from a distance
she might have been me-"
But you haven't long nose." her
interviewer protested.
Well. it's not short and turned up:
was the reply. Anyway. the artist
placed a background Of soft. dull blue
and hangings of violet to bring out
the golden tints OF her hair and the
orchid tones Of her gown.
Mime. Lanvin designed two gowns
for me to wear in the play, and one
of them I am wearing now. in the
second and third acts. The other,
however, I didn't care for. as it was
white, and too prominent in the set
ting, so when I returned to this coun-
try I had an orchid gown made, and
1t blends in much better with the
background, which. by the way. Is an
exact reproduction OF the one used at
the Coincide Franchise.
THE authors intention was to have
the surroundings so quiet and unos-
tentatious that the entire attention
of the audience would be centered on

The soft crepe folds were draped
into Il sleeveless blouse and long.

at one side. and with Il widelooped

chinchilla followed the slight curve

Miss Patricola. appearing at keith's.
wore a long tunic gown of simmer
ing sequins over a foundation of
black tulle. The sleeveless bodice
was held in place by pointed Shout
der straps of tulle. sprinkled with
few jet beads. The skirt showed
q deep border of sequins in an elab-
crate motif, and an edging of fine
bead fringe, which mingled with a
second fringe on the foundation slip.
The tunic took the form of long
apron panels. both front and back.
so that the tulle was visible the en-
tire length of each side.
Miss Margaret Davies. also at
Keith's. appeared in a dainty frock
sash. \ gathered bertha collar piped
in black edged the empire bodice.
while the wide skirt was trimmed
with an applique band of brocaded
satin ribbon. which gave a certain
stiffness to the soft folds and held
them out with d suggestion of
bouffancy.

OUR American stage permits the

than it does his fellow thespian Of
the legitimate drama. says Phil Baker,

claims to have made the study of

aid to his advancement in his chosen
profession.

gence to adapt 1t to his performances,

it was in Chicago that he first ap-
peared in 'Disraeli." though at that
time the Parker play was under an
other title, and he told the following:
IAN earnest young lady sought out
Owen Wister, the novelist, and told
him that. as she was going to see
'Disraeli,' she first would like to
read up on him, but she was in diff
culties.
"'You see. Mr.. Wister,' she said, 4

ing world"
Miss Brady is strong for romance:
her joys. her sorrows. her hopes. she
never could part with. She believes
in love. aud cannot conceive of life
without it. but she feels that, in this
present age of mad rush." romance
has somehow been discarded.
The stage is doing much to keep
romance alive. Playwrights, who
have power and dominion" Miss
Brady maintains. "are always writing
great epics of love. hate and sorrow
If You will notice closely, no love play
is without it's touch of regret, its
element of suffering. its distress. its
conflict of emotions"
Practically all of Miss Brady's past
stage successes have been concerned
with vibrant, throbbing romance.
