The Lure of the Bard.
Dramatic Editor:

DrdHatlc EdltOr.
1t may be that modern actors have
lost the art of reading Shakespeare
from The stage or II may be due to
the fact that much OF Shakespeare's
phraseology is no longer familiar
enough to be followed attentively by
ear. so to speak. Whatever the rea-
son, I am one of those lovers of
Shakespeare who is about to give up
further attempts to enjoy the bard
from behind the footlights.
Every little while | like to take
down my old. worn but faithful
volume of Shakespeare, Il bought it
as a girl of 16 and that's been more
years than 1 care to remember) and
read a page from ''The Tempest" or
a scene from ''Cymbeline" or perhaps
the dagger-scene from Macbeth"
somehow the enjoyment l get from
this perusal is never duplicated in
the 'theater and trying hard to reach
a conclusion during the Mantell per-
formance OF Wednesday, l think I
discovered that most of the phrase
ology Is too unfamiliar for close and
rapid following on the stage.
OF course, my confession Of long
lost youth may lead you to believe
that the fault lies in a possible deaf
ness on my part and not in the un-
familiarity Of the Shakespeare lines.
1 assure you that my hearing is still
remarkably good. so 1t cannot be laid
to the score. 1t occurred to me that
you might have some thoughts on
this line that would prove OF interest

MERLE MADDERN
FINALLY EVADES
VAMPISH" FATE

It was happy turn in the pro-
fessionaI affairs of Miss Merle Mad
dern that cast her for the role of the
reforming aunt in Nice People" )"
which will be seen this week at the
National.
Miss Maddern has devoted much of
her career to portraying the type Of
woman who wrecks and ruins, who
invites disaster rather than attempts
to prevent it. Season after season
she was chosen for vampire roles.
She became mistress of every trick
of the stage adventures repertoire
Her nightly tasks consisted of break
Ing from one to a half-dosGn hearts,
In blasting marital happiness and
In Turing mems souls Il, destruc-

Producers were appare k1y con-
vinced that no happy homes could
be successfully demolished until Miss
Maddern had been placed in charge
Of the lob. Her plea that she wanted

in managerial offices. And then, just
as she was on the point of rebellion,
just as she vowed she was forever
through with ''vamping," Rachel
Crothers selected her as the ideal
actress to direct Francine Larri-
more's feet in the straight and mar
row path in Mice People" Oddly
enough, the very attributes that con-
demned Miss Maddern to vampire
characters were responsible for her
selection as a peacemaker.
THE traditional conception of an

slender and dark" says Miss Croth-
ers. "As Miss Maddern is a living
answer to this description she be-

the blond. ingenue type, and 1t was

STOCK EXPERIENCE
VITAL TO PLAYER,
SAYS MRS. HANFORD

You may take it from an actress
of thirty five years continuous ex-
perience behind the footlights that
the uplift of the American stage in
an acting way must come from the
development of the stock company.
Mrs. Charles B. Hanford, charac-
ter woman of the Garrick Players,
ventures this frank opinion and 1t
is based upon a wealth of expert
ence gained in every branch of the
profession.
The young man or woman who
has an ambition to succeed In le-
gitimate drama will find an ap-
premiership with the stock organ
ization, his or her most valuable
schooling" she says. True, IL Is
hard work. 1t is exacting. There
are other easier and more attrac-
tive ways to secure a congenial
role, but there is no other single
way that ! know Of wherein prac-
tical experience can be acquired in
such a thorough manner as in two
or three full seasons with a COM
