Martha Hedralan
Acts and Talks of
Politics and Cows


They've been writing about Martha
Hedman ever since she came to Broad
way about ten years ago in "The At
tack" Her piquant Scandinavian
beauty, her work as pupil Of Strind-
berg, her training in the theater Of her
native land and her triumphs north of
Forty-second Street have been duly
chronicled. But there is still some
thing in which she is interested that

Not so long ago dispatches from
Duluth Brought the news of the mar
riage there of this actress. Miss He'd
man and her husband, after careful
consideration, decided upon SpringdaIe
as the place that they would commute
to and from, and now have only to de-
eide upon the name of the house
something that will be peculiarly APP
propriate. That's been quite their
greatest problem so far.
Miss Hedman began her season as a
commuter and as a devotee of the
simple life before she began her sea-
son as Broadway player. She likes
the role Of the "W oman Who Laughed"
but when the Edward Locke piece
slipped out of the Longacre she i'm
mediately slipped into the cast of "The
Star Sapphire" by Robert Housum.
This production is made by E. Ray
Goetz, and the play is expected on
Broadway shortly. 1t opens in Buff
falo on Labor Day.
Besides having her own particular
views about COWS and chickens, com
muting, Connecticut politics and the
comparative merits of life in the city
versus life in the country, Miss He'd
man has definite opinions as to the
mental processes of the various char
acters she has portrayed. Her role in
the new play is said to be one that is
exceptionally pleasing to her. Her
admirers insist that to date her IA
vorite part has been that of Renee in
"The Attack" with John Mason.
Miss Hedman, when she isn't com
muting or acting or attending to things
about "the place." is generally writ
ing, and is now or has been working
with her husband on plays. She in
sists that some time she'll do nothing
! but write, and that when she does
really settle down the settling down
will take place in the State of Wyo-
ming on a ranch.
It's old stuff to attempt to list the
productions with which the blonde
Swedish beauty has been identified In
New York, but for fear thar some ona
might have forgotten one or two they
can be recorded as follows In cnrono-
logical order: "The Attack" Liberty
Hail." @Indian Summer (aIl with
John Mason), "The Heart of a Thief
'The Trap" "The Boomerang" "For-

famous father, Joseph Jefferson, in the

gan his education in the role under the
tutelage of his father. He was first a
Demon" in the company, then a first
vlilager with one line to speak, then
Cookies, humorous village charac-
ter, and understudy to his fathers
Rip. His first playing of the role
came when his father fell i'll in Pitts
burgh, and after that he played it con-
tinuously, either with his fathers
company during the latters last ILL
ness or at the head Of his own COM
panias appearing in cities, towns and
hamlets all up and down America for
twenty-five years.
During the elder Jefferson's last ILL
ness, when he had big company on
his hands, he. called his three sons,
Tom, William and 10 jr., to his bedside
and 'ap2ortioned their tasks to them
so that the company might fill it's en-
gagements and be held together. Three
nights G week William and Joe were to
take the company and play "The Riv-
ais" the other three nights Tom was
to take the same company and play
"Trip Van Wrinkle" So 1T was done.
And the arrangement lasted six months,
terminating with the elder Jefferson's
death In 1905.
During his long career in Rip Tom
Jefferson received letters and personal
tributes In praise Of his portrayal Of
the character created by his father
from many men and women Of note.
President Cleveland saw him play on
several occasions. The only man Of
note who consistently rofused to at

A Young Author
Who Proves To Be
Hard to Please

"The Gingham Girl" made her ad-
vent in New York last week with
modesty which was in keeping with her
garb. She was just "The Gingham
Girl" conceived by Daniel Kusell and
presented by Mr.. Kusell and Laurence
Schwab. But the day after she opened
Broadway coupled two questions: First,
Have you seen The Gingham Girl?"
and then "Who is Daniel Kusell and
what plays has he written before?"
To the second question the answer is
this: Daniel Kusell hasn't written any
other full length plays. This is his
very first. Heretofore he has figured
only in vaudeville production.
To the question "Have you seen The
Gingham Girl?'" probably large Sec
ton of the theater-going population of
New York will be able to answer eyes"
at the end of the season. For the Earl
Carroll is a big theater and they are
standing them up. 1t is a tribute to
youth and beauty as much as TO the
entertaining story which Mr. Kusell
has concocted and set to music. Helen
Ford, Louise Allen and Eleanor Dawn
are assisted by eight of the sprightliest,
sightliest dancing girls that have been
coralled on Broadway in long time;
to say nothing of the blonde Smith
twins. And young Kusell has provided
amusing lines for young Eddie Buzzell
"Jokes?" said Mr.. Kusell when he
was accused of having brought some
new ones to the stage, II do not ap-
prove of iokes-that is, gags. A joke
is all right if it just happens along
in the course of the conversation. If
had my way I'd cut out the entire
cabaret scene"
"And spoil the show? The. Gingham
Girl needs no operation. There seems
to be plenty of laughs"
mot legitimate laughs" replied the
young author, stubbornly. "I'll have it
my way yet. I'm tinkering with it
now."
