who. in his long years as theatrical
producer has battled artistic temper

sexes.
Artistic temperament" Morosco
explains, "often may be the result of
the highly imaginative star believing
all that his or her publicity agent has
written. With success, especially if
quickly arrived at, frequently comes
the mistaken idea that artistic tenn

stage careers than it ever aided.
THE physical equipment Of star

EDDIT CANTOR has one worry in
life-that he may become con-
ceited. After each success of his
career he has watched himself care
fully to detect signs of an enlarged
head.
When his new revue. Make It
Snappy." opened last season at the
New York Winter Garden, Cantor saw
his name there in electric lights as
a star for the first time He was
quite certain then that he was be-
coming conceited. So he had a small
model made of one of the best-known
electric signs on Broadway that ad-
vertises a well known chewing gum.
and set the model up in his dressing
room at the Winter Garden. 1t was
lighted with little bulbs which got
their current from dry cells.
Whenever Cantor thought that con-
ceit was descending upon him he
went into his dressing room and turn
ed on the lights of the small big sign.
No electric sign is going to run
away with me-" he said, dec sively
My name is in lights as star, it is
true. but that chewing gum has a
bigger sign-twenty or thirty times
bigger-than mine. So there's really
nothing to get conceited over"

WHEN the President Players first
opened the President Theater.
something over two months ago, it
was freely predicted among theatrical
wiseacres that their stage monopoly
would be short-lived and that the
completion of the National and Polls
theaters would cause the players to
face Il lack of patronage.
AS "A matter of fact. this possibility
had by no means been ignored by the
management. who early bent every
effort toward creating a permanent
place in Washington theatrical circles
for their company.
The first step toward this end was
the establishment of comparatively low
prices at a time when it would have
been not at all difficult to have
charged twice as much.
Another factor called into play was
the selection of plays which were
practically certain to build up an en-
during popularity. nor was the MAJ
ter of production excellence ignored.
Thus it was believed that by the
time the regular legitimate dramatic
season opened in washington there
