]. Hartley Manners.

r HARTLEY MANNERS the we'll
y. known playwright, though an Irish
man, was born in England.
He was originally intended for the
priesthood by his family, and his early
education was with that end in view.
But he early became interested in the
stage.
He was employed in the foreign office
in London as clerk, from 10 O'Clock
in the morning until in the afternoon.
and it gave him considerable time 10
study and write. The stage was his
favorite theme.
One day he wrote an eight-page let
| ter to an actor. informing him that
he did not agree with the ADVERSE
criticisms made of his art. That was
resulted in Mr.. Manners becoming an
actor himself.
He went TO Australia with the late
Charles Cartwright. and began writing
plays One of his first was upon the
subject of Robespierre, and Cartwright
accepted it for production. but the Saf-
dou piece on the same subject was an
nounced and that of Mr. Manners had
| to be. abandoned.
| In 1900 his first play was produced IN
London. 1t was called "A Queens Mes,
sage It was one-act sketch and
| he received no money for it. Two years
| later he came TO America as leading
man for Mrs Langtry i'll a play he had
written for her called "The Crossways.
His plays. 'The House Next Door,
| written for that excellent actor. J. E.
Dodson, and "Zira,' written for Mar
garet Anglin. had established him as a
dramatist before the production OF Peg
| % My Heart which challenges the

performances given and in money earned

She began her stage career In the
chorus of a Mabel Hite production

vaudeville.
Her first contract to work in Eu-

revue at the Alhambra Theater. From
there she starred in nine productions

THE present condition of things the
- atrical and the apparent dearth OF
successful plays, which has caused the
revival of many old successes, has
brought forth an interesting proposal to
Julia Marlowe and E. H. Sothen that
They should take theater in New York
-eity and reproduce all the great sue
tbsses Of their two careers. either as in
dividual stars or as co-stars.
/. , 1t has been suggested that they change
Ahe bill every three weeks. for season
w thirty-six weeks. and so continue un-
til their entire repertoire shall have been
exhausted. The prices shall be reason
able and the order of t.le plays shall fol-
low that Of their original production.
1t will be observed from the following
table that Mr.. Sothern and Miss Mar
lowe have produced separately and to-
gether fifty-three successful plays Some
not successful financially an da number
of one-act plays have been omitted from
the list.
Twenty-three of these successes be-
9 long to the masterpieces of dramatic
literature. Thirteen are Shakespeare
81 plays.
No doubt a few of Mr.. Sothern's early
plays will seem somewhat archaic after
more than thirty years. Miss Marlowe.s
excursions into drama, apart apart
from the classics. have been more re-
cent.
The list of plays is noteworthy, for
each represents success of one or even
more seasons.
1t will be seen that this plan would
cover 159 weeks, or four seasons and

IN every motion picture studio where
= comedies are made there is gag
man. He's the fellow who furnishes
the funny situations that make the
audience chuckle. That sounds lot
easier than it really is.
The gag" man is builder OF
laughs. He constructs his stunts al
most as an engineer would erect a
building. Given a certain situation
in a story, he sets out to find all
the funny angles possible. known in
theatrical and movie parlance as
gags" >,
men-the man who stands behind the
camera during the filming of a two
reel comedy and whispers funny
stuff into the directors ear; the man
who works with the continuity writer
and director of the longer and less
special laugh-getting stunts: and the
man who furnishes the gags" that
brighten up dramas and furnish
comedy relief.
Getting a laugh in the movies is
thought and labor by person with
an Imaginative mind. When the con-
tinuity for five-reel comedy is
written the scenario writer puts IN
all the laugh situations he can think
of and then the gag" man comes
along and adds more.
Sometimes as many as eight differ
ent stunts are suggested for certain
scene before the right one is found.
Often simple little gag" that is
meant only for giggle develops into
q hearty laugh getter.
There are three general methods of
getting laughs in motion pictures,
one through a funny situation. one
BY the use of mechanical devices and

You'd be surprised ii I told you
that "Muldoon's Picnic" the old Irish
standby. which Barry and Faye ap-
peared in thirty-eight years ago, has
furnished the basis for more than
fifty plays and as many comedy pic

mental gags than hundred recent
plays. Every time a gag man gets
