Realism Routs Rant

George tawcett, who is playing the
homespun part of Jess in "Thc Noun
tain Man, is an actor Of long exncr;-
encc. His training was acquired in the
old theater-the theatcr of the Booths
and barretts and their immediate sue
cessors. He takes UP tho defense of
THIS thcater against modern tendency
to bellttle its Importance and achieve
ments. and while he appreciates the
realism Of to-day he observes drift
to masQue and patter,
we hear much to-day Of the rantine
OF the old acting" said Mr. Fawcett.
"unquestionably it was a bad fault. and
while do not wish to uphold it. there
were extenuating circumstances. 1t had
its origin partly in the large size of tho
theaters, which made shoutiup necae.

Bad acting is easy. it has ALWAYS

The public has long since despaircd of
finding all players good, or. what is
more important, sincere. 1t does do

engaging--a rarity-and it presumes
that you carry something OF your self

Here Is an Actor
Refusing to Talk

Louis Wolheim is a protsge OF the
Barrymores, so that. perhaps, Is the
reason. or one reason, Why he is so
blind to the powers of publicity and
deaf TO the urgings of the interviewer.

was asked to tell something of himself
so that the news might be impaired to
the public, he replied: az cant see

Clare Ea1lles Says
Wife Is at Fault i'm
"tl'st Fifty Years

Henry Myers, author Of "The First
Fifty Years" which camo to the
Princess Theater last Monday night.
depicts the welded life OF man and
woman who had no capacity whatso-
ever to make each other happy. Clare
hames, who is the wife, far from being
champion Of her sex, is firmly con-
vinced that the woman is the chief
cause of the couples wasted existence.
Tom Powers, the husband in the seven
scene life cycle, is just IS firmly Of
the opinion that the man is to blame
for the matrimonial tragedy.
Adjusting her coiffure to conform
with The most fashionable mode of tho
period 1872, Miss Eamcs gave voice to
her thoughts on the play.
The author certainly did not mean
the play to be an expression Of his
views on oil marriages. Neither do 7
think that he has attempted to draw
moral. lie does not say that this
is play Of marriage but he does say
this Is story of the marriage of Mar
tin and Anne Those who come to
sec the play will very naturally apply
1t to their own experiences, and lust
as Martin and Anne look into their
hearts on each Of their wedding ami
versaries & general searching of hearts
may result.
'The fault of this unsuccessful mar
riage is largely with the woman. Tom
Powers thinks the man is most to
blame. Just before the PLAY opencd
here we were on our way to Allentown
to appear in a preliminary perform-
ance. Tom and argued hotly all the
way down on the train and neither Of
us would give al inch. or course.
Martin Is pig, selfish and inconsider-
ate and weak. But Anne commits the
sin which is unforgivable in a woman.
She loses her temper and at time
when it does the greatest harm. Situa-
tions arise in married life which Re
quiro absolute understanding and re
straint from the woman. If she keeps
her semoer things may right them
selves, but if she doesn't, irreparable
harm is often done. There is a posi-
bility that the life Of Martin and Anne
might have been different If Anne had
been able to control her temper"

end Of the honeymoon trip and con-
,luding with the golden wedding ami
the author sketches the mar
lied life Of Martin and Anne. Each

make 1t interesting. Now, with the
wave of realism, the authors are doing
the thinking for him. But much dis
putatlon, colloquy and dissertation on
the stage was red flag to many OF the
old masters, notably Coquclin. The old
stage had many eccentric and bizarre
personalities, who fused all parts
through their freakish ccccntricities."
Mr. tawcett believes that the masouc
and patter play is coming The replica
OF a book or talky colloquy, according
TO hlln, needs none of the familiar
mode or technique of the stage which
was principally of situation or of ac-
tive drama; but they have demanded a
pronounced personal molding from the
actor Consequently, art and skill ara
limited.
"HoweTer, our stage will not faltcr.
Tor there Will be more engaging types.
as IS the tendency to-day. 1t does not
matter as long as the public is enter
tanned; at least, it will be less Of.
tended than in the old days. All we
nave to do is to keep the offensive type
OIL the stage. There has been soma
tremendous drama OF late in our nlavs
OF realism, but our great realistic
drama makes almost superhuman de-
mands upon the author. This new
phase of playwriting is responsible for
very interesting growth to the stage
in the last five years"

Postmaster John P.

They retained their stamps until maturity, notwithstanding that they could have disposed of them at any time with accrued interest and in most cases now when asked at the post office if they desired cash in settlement the reply is -:"'No." and they pay or receive the difference to balance the exchange for treasury certificates. In~last Satur- days transactions there were several who purchased large denominations ct certificates in addition to those receiv- ed in exchange tor the stamps.
