II believe that often the moral Is
taken from a play when some OF the
action is eliminated by the censors.
The idea of cutting out all misdeeds
is wrong. If there Is no misdeed
shown how can we portray the re-
suit of the misdeed to the perfect
understanding? I believe that every
actor and actress wants to point
out a moral. Artists are not In
favor of appealing to lower in
stincts. 1t would give them no re-
turns and they would be the losers
in the long run. But the main thing
is to be truthful AS st. Jerome said,
1t is better that all chould be Of
Tended than that truth should be
concealed.

Barton has spent his entire life
on the stage and was a recognized

fame did not come until the Actors

James Bartons opportunity came.

dancing and entertainment created
a sensation and he was deluged with
musical comedy offers. He accepted
the Shubert contract for THE Pass

the physically cute ones. But, as
you see, she had something more
than the husk Of cuteness to offer.
She had everything underlying
cuteness. and when the time came
for her to shelve her kittenish
artlessness she shelved it and gave
us an acceptable substitute.
Cute actresses. Of course, can
never become what is known as
great" Also great" actresses
cannot be cute. Sarah Bernhard
has played all sorts Of women, and
some men. But she has never been
cute. She couldn't be. The great
actress can make you pulsate; she
can electrify you, but she cannot
simulate cuteness. The cute actress
has the exultant joy of girl
hood to her credit. 1t is enough.
Frequently it is too much. 1t is
overdone, Audience these tears.
To be ingenious on the stage q
woman must be tremendously So
phisticated off the stage. The sue.
cessfully cute actress-and again !
avoid names-knows exactly what
she is doing. There Is method in her
cuteness. 1t Is not a thing Of gar
gied tones and muslin dresses. All
her effects are studied, and very
carefully studied. And-do not for
get this-the successfully cute &C.
tress is much older than we imagine.
She must be. No woman can be
cute on the stage until she is old
enough to be un-cute Off it. Hest

~ UT II II the studiously cute
actress that does such injury
to the drama--the actress who
realizes that cuteness is an asset and
one that she is going to assume
and let its plausibility go hang! 1t
Is the plays written around the nom
plausible personalities that offend US
SO very intensely. 1t is the process
sion of Miss Cuteness that does such
damage. Nothing can be more
charming. or moro refreshing, or
more lovable than one cute little
lady in a clever and youthful play
In a season. 1t is the desire TO
multiply these that causes the
trouble.
The young" play Is delicious. 1t
sends you home invigorated and
happier when 1t IS a young play.
But the play that is aggressively
and illogically youthful is a hard
pill to swallow. and-we get these
by the shoals. They are generally
sheerly silly. Critics sometimes
say of them that they breathe the
spirit of youth think that is the
stock phrase. But youth is un.
studied, irrepressible. effervescent
and sparkling, and the silly plays
that pitchfork a crowd Of senseless
young people on to the stage are
by no means helpful.
Youth, you know, CAN be very
stupid and very dull. both on the
stage and in real life. 1t is only

Youth has its sanity as well al age.

cal terms. Here are a few OF the
comedians attempts:
A hatchway is hole in the deck
which stops at the bottom Of tho
ship.
The forecastle Is the front of the
ship where a sentry stands all night
and endeavors to keep awake.
The afterdeck. Reverse fore
castle.
The scuttlebutt is where you can
get a drink of water and hear more
rumors than in a boarding house or
on the bridge.
The bridge is the hangout of ths
navigator and skipper, and a good
place to keep away from unless you
have a mania for polishing brass.
The gun deck is an excuse for
having guns on a ship. Sometimes It
Is noisy enough to be rather dis
agreeable.
The rudder is a tricky hunk of
steel which enables the ship to turn
corners.
The deck is something which also
rhymes with neck and has to be
scrubbed just as often-if not more
so.
Field day was a surprise as ex-
pected to enter in the 100-yard dash.
1t proved to be the day when every
thing aboard was washed except the
bottom of the ship and that didn't
seem to complain.
The masts. Two high structures
which stuck out perpendicularly
from the deck and enabled our cam
eramen to get some excellent long
shots from the peak.
An oar is one of the heaviest
pieces Of timber I ever got in my
hand. 1t is used to propel a lifeboat.
but is excellent to lean on when you
get out of breath.
A lifeboat is one Of the best places
to hide in aboard ship during coal

An officer is a gentleman whom
you can easily find out mole about
IL you walk by him and refrain from
saluting.
Clear ship for action. don't know
much about this except l lost my

Reveille. An annoying excuse to
