the despair of any impresario in Eu-
rope.
Expert as they always are, one
problem confronts and sometimes all
but oyerwhelms the men who are
planning these spectacles. How are
they going to combine the latest ten
denotes in stage art with the sort OF
fun that will amuse all the audience?
Undeniably the producers must keep
up with the progress of stage decora-
ton. 1t is no longer possible to fol-
low the fashions of native. or for that
matter, foreign extravaganza of the
late SOS. Joseph Urban. Lee Simon
son, Robert Edmond Jones, Robert
Locker, James Reynolds and the rest
of the younger stage decorators have
changed all that. There is not novelty
in hangings and pictures and dresses
only. There must be an artistic quail
ity in pose and dance which was not
always necessary to satisfy the public
Yet to be high brow Is usually to be
fatal to popular success.
Ziegfeld succeeds in blending the
popular and the wholly artistic better
than any of his rivals just as he sur
passes them in every other detail of
the revue triumphant. AS an example
Of complete failure of assimilation
OF the different qualities of musical
show one need see only THE Pin
Wheel" Of Michio Itow. Much OF the
dancing Is rarely exquisite and OF a
genuine artistry. The color and line
are, generally speaking. as well cared
for. But the humor that is to appeal
TO the man in the street. the fun that
Is to set the spectators into roars of
laughter, and in the final analysis,
make the success of the enterprise. is
poor stuff at the Little Theater if one
except "The Lilies of the Field"
J. Murray Anderson's adventures In
the perplexing field OF the musical re-
view showed a reckless indifference as
to any incongruity between the popu-
lar and the artistic details of his
Greenwich Village experiments. He
followed the most exquisite concep-
tions Of his personal and private
Michael Angeles, Lockers or Reynolds
with such racy products OF the bur-
lesque wheel as Savoy and Brennan
or Ted Lewis and AL Herman. 1t
was surprising. in view OF the In
congruity of the ingredients. how well
they in the long run mixed.
George White, on the other hand.
has shown no disposition to concern
himself with the modern and artistic
feature OF the review. 1t Is enough
for him If his Scandals" now impend-
ing again are showy. piquant and
amusing. His problem is therefore less
difficult than that with which some of
his colleagues have to deal There Is
no model for any of them. OF course,
equal to the achievements of Mr..
Ziegfeld in the invincible "Follies."
The performance now at the New Am
sterdam Theater must be the despair
of every other producer Of the same
kind of a piece. 1t seems about the
most complete possible accomplish
ment In its line.

'Kempy' Co-Autho
Place S Audiences
Under Microscope
Heterogeneous Vaudeville Pa
irons Are Hardest to Please,
Says>J. G. Nugent.

J. C. Nugent, coauthor OF "Kcmpy"
and one of its stars, can say "a good
deal In one minute. He learned how
while billed as ''Vaudeville's Greatest
Monologist," and he prides himself on
being able to speak that long on any
subject that is put TO him.
For thirty years or more he has acted
in a wide range of plays, from Shakes
peare to low comedy. But coming, as
he recently has, from the world of
vaudeville to that OF the legitimate
stage, II was interesting to learn from
him how the respective audiences DIFF
fer. Said Mr.. Nugent:
"A vaudeville audience Is rniscel-
laneous and contains all sorts Of peo-
pie, the highbrow and the lowbrow. and
therefore Is the hardest audience to
play for. Any other Is n specialized
audience and easily classified as to its
tastes. In vaudeville audience every
variety OF intelligence and education is
found. and so the artist must resort
to elemental appeals unless he is satis-
lied with pleasing only a small percent
age of the audience
But II Is n great mistake 70 sneak
down TO your audience. Stick to your
last-that Is my motto. A perfect slap
stick actor Is as fine and as skilled In
his line as Shakespeare was In his
Frank Tinney is perfect IN his own
style and much appreciated. but if VIII
ton Lackaye and II. II. sothern tried
to do the same thing they would be a
lamentable failure.
"The response OF an audience is in
voluntary. III you appeal to them they
respond. 1 always say to n beginner
on the stage. Don't think of the audi
ence. They don't know what they want.
Give them what you have
"Never underestimate the audience
When I was a boy from 10 to IL years
OF age and working in a rolling mill
saved up my quarters to sec Shakes
peare plays done by very poor COM
panies. Even at that age / was able
10 appreciate what was good and what
was poor. In fact / have since no.

Kingdom of 'Tangerine'
Again Changes Ruler

Tho Kingdom Of Tangerine, in which
much OF the action of the musical com
edy "Tangerlne" takes place. has
changed monarchs almost as often as do
Balkan principaiities. Last week when
Carle Cartons production resumed its
run for three weeks at the Casino Tho
eter there was still another sovereign in
Frank Lalor. the only new member OF
the cast, who formed tho sixth I'm the
series.
In honor OF the advent OF the new
comedian In this principal role Julia
Sanderson Frank Crumlt and others OF
the original cast tho past week crowned
him King Tangerine tho Sixth and
Last" giving him a tin scepter and a
celluloid crown set with rhlnestones, so
that he can function better In tho Job
Of king. Judging by the welcome Lalor
received on his first performance last
Monday no seems destined to live up to
this appellation.
