Rupert Hughes Has Kind
Thought for the T. B. NJ.

''-Tired business men, may be glad to
learn that Rupert Hughes has just Is
sued a signed statement saying his
latest motion picture, Remembrance"
which will be the feature at the Capitol
the week OF October /. was inspired by
sympathy for them. Said Mr.. Hughes,
according to a telegram just received
from the Goldwyn studio:
"I grew tired of criticisms Of the tired
business man. He is the most impor-
tant and pathetic figure in the world.
without his attention to business and
his self-sacrifice there would be no art
or finery to support the snobs who
make fun of him. If strong roots do
not grub in the black soil. how shall
there be bright flowers or golden
fruit? Where sh LII we get the gold and
the diamonds IL nobody digs? The
father OF the family. the man who
sticks to his job. is the hero who holds
the world together. Hesis often mar
tyr to ingratitude. In Remembrance
I have tried to show such man in
his good and bad tempers and the
tragedy and comedy of his own and his
children's love affairs"

1.-THE Old Soak" Upsets
an Ancient Tradition

THE Old Soak" Don Marquis's COM
edy which Arthur Hopkins is presenting
at the Plymouth. Is upsetting the
atrical tradition-the one which says
that a play has primarily to appeal to
women II It is to enlarge the box office
to hold the receipts.
There Is no doubt that this first play
by Mr.. Marquis makes chiefly an appeal
to men. Not that tho women aren't
amused. for they are; because the pic
ture Of family life which Is depicted.
quite aside from the character OF the
Old Soak, seems to have an appeal not
limited by sex. But the Thursday mat
inee. distinctively a wofnan's day. is not
so we'll patronized as tho evening per
formances
But. the Old Soak and Al the boot
logger are characters which are neces-
sarily more familiar to men than to
women. As some one has said What
family entrance was ever patronized by
a family? On second thought. we are
not sure that the women aren't ac-
quainted with Clenr Haicley, the Old
Soak, himself. They live with him as
wife. or daughter. daughter-in-law. or
sister. But It remains largely to males
to see him at his best.
AS for AL--he who mourns the good
old days as only an ex-bartender can
mourn the good old days-there is no
doubt that he is a mans man. And
yet. on second thought again. the
women in the audiences seem to like
him. Perhaps It IS because women like
q man who is a mans man more than
the lounge lizards dare to suspect!
The truth about The Old Soak" is
that It's a mans play. and consequently
the women like H. So do the men. but
that, no doubt. Is merely the egoism of

terest. Mr. Paderewski. long absent
from. the world of music. engaged in
the subtleties of statecraft, is once
more to play the piano for the delecta-
ton of the music lovers of this coun-
try. Human beings must inevitably
inquire whether he is going to play
just as he used to or to disclose new
qualities developed by the intellectual
and emotional stresses of a world war.
1t would be strange. indeed, if the
man were unaffected by all that he
has experienced. But in what way
will 1t have touched his art? Will
there be a deeper and sterner tone? +?
VIII the old witchery Of poetic song
give way to the battle cry of a strug-
Cling nation? Or will 1t be just plain
case of technic run to seed and musi-
cal culture dulled through lack Of
continuity?
These questions may perhaps never
be answered. But there can be no
doubt that Mr.. Paderewskis return
will be the outstanding incident Of the
long series of piano recitals promised
for the coming season. The extraor-
binary personality of this man has
for years been one of the most potent
influences in the concert field. and
when the call of his country carried
him into world politics music lovers
regretted that there was no other to
perform so ably as he the arduous
duties of Minister.
Music lovers are a selfish brood.
They care little for the sorrows of
Poland or Ireland. except as expressed
in the art of a Paderewski or a Nc
Cormack. Well, the season is here.
The wand of the conductor will be
waved tomorrow night. The fete be-
gins. The music lovers will have am
pie on which to feed fat their souls.
