Says Attendance
Test of Good PLAY

WY HEN a firm has produced
" play so successful as
THE Bat" which Wagon
halls & Kemper have to their credit,
and who are also responsible for
Avery Hopwoods new comedy,
why Men Leave Home" which
they offer at the Belasco this
week. it is worth while to inquire
into the personnel Of this firm.
THE Bat" has now reached a total
of almost 100000 in gross re-
oeipts in New York and Chicago
alone, and this is only one of half
a dozen hits for which they have
been responsible.
With not a failure to their
credit, Lincoln A. Wagenhals and
Collin Kemper each have enough
money in the bank above the mil
lion mark to not have another ma
terial care in life. And yet less
than twenty-five years ago the
two of them were strutting behind
the gas-jet footlights about the
country not sure they would have
railroad fare out of town, not t
mention salaries. Not together
were they doing this, but in sep
arate organizations.
Encountering in a small town
railroad station. they agreed to
+, meet the following summer and Or
ganize producing firm. This they
did, taking stock company to
small city in New York. They
had a strenuous season, but pulfel
out 81, 400 to the good. They put
this in a more pretentious venture
the following season, a Shakes
pearean tour with Frederick
warde, Louis James and Kathryn
Kidder. That year the profits
were $50, 900 and they have steadily
mounted each season. 1t may oe
recalled that paid in Full and
"Seven Days" were their produc.
tons.
Last season and this they have
THE Bat" admittedly the biggest
hit of years, and Hopwood's new
play. with more to come. How do
they do it? 1t may be just luck,
It may be a secret all their own.
Just this month an interviewer
cornered Mr.. Kemper and demand.
ed his idea of play, a question
Mr.. Kemper had declined a thou
sand times to discuss.
"The first requisite OF a play"
he said, "is that 1t fill the theater
with people to see it. 1t may he
true that there are great plays
which the public will not go TO
see, but in that case they should
be made available to their public
on the bookshelves OF libraries.
The theater is built for a play and
the play is produced to fill the
theater. II it fails in that 1t lie

The Washington times., 1922-09-03

The point so .strikingly Illus
trated by this coincidence is that
motion picture companies have
practically abandoned making
palm trees" Producers = have
found that it's, much more artistic
and satisfactory all around TO

helmet in a kit bag and go where
the palm trees grow, Just as

Pictures are getting bigger and
better all OF the time. Quality and

the great producers. GoIdwyn, for I

pictures this year. The same

ture.
A good example Of the new idea
in making film dramas is "Sher'
lock Holmes" in which John
Barrymore is the star. This
cinema success was photographed
in London and Switzerland. Every
person who sees II comments not
only on the remarkable quality Of
&, the acting by Barrymore and his
notable supporting cast, but also
on its realistic atmosphere.

When the time comes to trans
late ben Hur" to the screen, the
exteriors will be made in Italy and
Palestine, as q matter OF course.
This ambition to secure absolute
realism in sets well may be re-
garded az one of the certain signs
of progress in motion picture
making. 1t is spelling the end Of
what Marshall Neilan aptly has
termed the sausage" picture-the
kind Of picture that was< ground
out to order at the studio, with
the same building serving as a
synagogue in one production. an
Italian palace in the next, and the
town hall In the next. Remember
how you used to recognize old
scenic friends slightly disguised,
and bearing different names, In

Now that they're producing pic

panies aren't hesitating to spend
great sums Of money in filming

made into motion pictures twice

more place in the art Of creating

Leading Woman of Partners

New York, Plays Roles Of
Many Nationalities.

NYATIONAL differences do not
~ impress Eileen Wilson. who
has the leading feminine role
in the Abe and Mawruss comedy,
Partners Again. at the New
York city Selwyn Theater.
The reason Miss Wilson isn't
vastly impressed Is that in her
short career she has played char.
acters of decidedly different ma.
, tional--not to say racial-flavor
and having belonged, as it were, TO
these nationalities for the periods
Of these engagements she realizes
how many human values all ma
tions have in common. For in
stance, she had a season as an
Irish girl with Fiske O'Hara in
Kilkenny" in THE Lady of the
Lamp" she was a Chinese maiden;
in '1Sitty Mackay" she was Scotch,
and in Spanish Love" she was
what you'd expect girl to be in
a play of that name-but how do
you spell it?

Is the pretty niece Of bungling,
kindly, delightful old Abe Potash.
There have been several Ameri.
can girls sprinkled along the ca
reer; some in musical comedy,
some in drama, and all different
one from the other. almost as diff
different as the girls of the vari-
Gus nations.
After this international expert
ence Miss Wilson rises to say that
the difference between one nation
and another, one race and an
other, Is a difference OF custom
and that's habit, and that's speech
: and gesture and thought. One
could go on from here being seri-
Gus, but Miss Wilson merely went
on to say that acting ought to
widen ones nationality and there
by make one a better American.
because, lust as white Is all col
ors, isn't it?" she said, 80 Amer
lea is all nations. At least l feel
that way"
Miss Wilson began her stage
work in Mt. Vernon. While she
was still at school in a convent
there she overhead the manager
of the local stock company telling
her father that he wished some
of the Mt. Vernon girls had stage
ambitions, because he'd like to
give them a start by letting them
play small bits.
Eileen, who was then fourteen,
decided that this was opportunity
and that 1t meant she should go
knocking at the stage door. She
did, much to the surprise of the
local manager"
However, he was as good as his
word, and Eileen was given her
chance and much hard work to
discourage her. She persevered
and when she was graduated from
the convent she was also gradu-
ated into the part of Aggie Lynch
in within the Law" which she
played in Margaret Illington's
company.
She made her Broadway debut
with Lou Tellegen in THE King
of Nowhere" Her first musical
comedy part was in "Oh, Boy"
With Jessie Bonstelle's company
in Detroit she made her debut in
Shakespeare, playing Audrey in
"As You Like It."
