How Stage Folk Use
Their Spare Time
Is Finally Explained

Laymen are likely 10 envy the men
and women Of tho stage their many
hours OF leisure. forgetting the long
hours Of rehearsals, The tiresome rail-
road Jumps" the necessity Of laboring
on Christmas. Thanksgiving and other
holidays. when the average man IL free
TO enjoy the day with his family, and
the many other hardships which 20 70
balance the ploasanter sides Of iheat-
rieal life. Yet In spite Of these inronds
on their time, IL Is true that tho actor
has more spare time on his hands than
the average business OF professional
man.
Most actors and actresses, especially
the more successful ones, make good use
Of the hours when they are not actively
engaged In their profession. Almost
every company playing along Broadway
will furnish examples Of successful nc
tresses and actors who In addition 20
their stage work have outside interests
Of almost equal importance.
The company now presenting Hos
pitality" at the Equity Forty-eighth
Street Theater. which. in view OF the
fact that It is sponsored by the Actors
Equity Association, might we'll be Sc
lccted as typical Of the theatrical pro-
fcssion, furnished at least four shining
examples Of actors who have made good
use Of their leisure time.
Mrs. Louise Closer Hale, who plays
the role OF the mother in the play, is
we'll known as a writer as well as an
actress. She has written eight books
and has had more than ninety Of her
short stories published What is not so
we'll known about Mrs. Hale Is the fact
tina. she has at least ono successful in
yention to her eredit-upon which she
is drawing royilties-a new type Of shoe
for women who desire comfort as we'll
as style in their footwear. Mrs. Hale
worked out the style for this shoe while
she was playing the role Of Grandma
Bett in the play Miss Lulu Bett."
Claude Cooper. who Is also n member
Of the cast Of Hospitality" IS the in
ventor Of "Cooper's Kitehenette," de-
seribed as "the smallest and most prae-
tical kitchen in the world,7 at which an
entire meal can be prepared. eaten and
cleared away without rising from the
chair. The htchenetto cabinet. when
closed, has the appearance Of a ladies'
writing desk and bookcase. 1t was de-
signed especially for the thousands Of
girls and women who have TO keep house
in single room. Mr.. Cooper's inven-
tion, which is the result Of years Of ex-
perimental work on his part was pat
ented October IS. 1921, and has since
had a wide sale
Miss Pearl Sindelar, also OF the cast
Of "Hospitality," is successful scenario
writer and the dramatic editor Of the
monthly magazine "Penwomen.'
Edward Broadley. stage manager for
Equity Players, Is the inventor Of many
lighting and technical devices perfected
during years Of stage work in this
country and abroad.
This record Of achievements out Of n
company Of eight players tends 70 show
that as a class actors may we'll claim
TO accomplish more in their leisure than
men and women in other walks Of life.

Elsie Ferguson, in
Spite of Friends,
Went Into Pictures

Kind friends advised Elsie Ferguson
not to 20 into motion pictures. adding.
Look at the number OF stage stars who
haven't made good on the screen"
The fact that some others had not
made good did not deter the noted
actress and she still delights in telling
about Il. Her newest Paramount pro-
duetion, "0uteast," which Is coming 70
the Rivoli Theater to-day. and which is
an adaptation OF one Of Miss Fergu-
sons greatest stage successes. brought
to mind some Of her early experiences
before the film camera.
"'Don't 60 into movies said one.

and that's the worst fault in flmdom.
Il entered the old Fifty-sixth Street

tens Of advice and quite tired out with
my delight. the director said was to
spend my first half cay in the movies
on a lounge resting-a studio lounge,

recording my siesta. But, neverthe-
less. it was welcome relaxation from
my stage work. and / thought the
movies a real haven for the weary.

had had to learn an entirely new pro-
fession - screen acting - calling for
highly emotional drama without the
aid OF the spoken word, careful con-
sidering Of every gesture.

the Incidents Of my carly studio days.
To one coming direct from the stage
there are so many things that strike
one as funny For instance, the yellow
sheets they use on the beds instead Of
the white ones--I understand yellow
ones photograph better. And they ask
you to enthuse over the night air from
a Venetian balcony. when the balcony
is made Of wood and cardboard and the
night air is filled with stale cigar
smoke and the directors vigorous Ian

Motion pictures have advanced
greatly since then. Of course. was
comparatively late conner to the screen,
but even in those days we had fimsy
sets that would fall down II you leaned
against them. and a scheme Of deeora-
tion that would drive an artist mad.
Now We have solid wooden sets. de-
signed by such people as Paul Tribe.
Joseph Urban and Penrhyn Stanlaws.
The whole industry. in fact. has made
giant strides and pictures are better
lighted. better directed. and. above all,
better acted.
II am more convinced than ever Of
this fact since completing 'Outcast,'
which l sm sure is the best picture

brating their own "Third Of Cen
tury" Jubilee along with the Keith
Circuit with which they have been
identified since the beginning Of their
stage career.
Katie Condon dried her tears and
went with Sam on the sleigh ride. Very
shortly they were keeping company"
and when she was seventeen and he
eighteen they we're married IN Trinity
Church. whore Sam sang in the choir
and they wanted Katie 70, only the
thought gave her such stage fright
that she couldn't. AZ that time Sam
worked in a candy factory and ever
lastingly sang and practiced dancing
steps when he was OF the job. He
taught the pretty Katie 20 do the bu;k
and wing and the Irish jig and all the
other steps he knew. Finally. after
their first baby. Clara, was born. he
got Job with the minstrels and came
home with glowing accounts Of the
wonders Of the theater.
But, the Kennedys we're an Old-fash-
ioned couple. Although things were
prospering with them and they now
had two babies, they were unhappy
apart. So Sam worked up an act with
himself with "thc Wife" renamed the
family Morton instead Of Kennedy and
betook himself 20 the little Gaiety
Museum In Boston, which B. F. Keith
was running in a store on Washington
Street, away back in 1888.
Kate Morton, as she now called her
self, had been to the theater twice In
her life-once to "Unele Toms Cabin"
and once 70 a "Grand" show Of Tony
Pastors which came 20 Boston. When
she saw her dressing room in the eel
lar, with hard earth walls, she nearly
tainted. when the violin started 20
play the accompaniment TO her songs
she stopped-for she had never sung
with Rn instrument
But within a week she was thorough
ly at home. And now she sighs con-
tentedly as she looks back over long
career. Thers are seven Mortons now.
There Is Clara, who Is in the business
for herself, with her husband and Paul,
who is married, and Marian, who never
went on the stage but married and
settled down, and Joseph and Martha,
who are with their father and mother
in the act. And while the home life
Of the Mortons has been a migratory
one it has been a very happy one.
"More praise to Mr.. Keith and Mr..
Albee," as Mrs. Morton expresses It.
