Ada Offers a Ne,u Idea.

HERE are words of wisdom for the
young stage aspirant-at least,
they are words seasoned by long and
broad experience, for they come from
Ada Lewis, the Nine. Bompard Of
Good Morning, Dearie," at the Ma
tional Theater.
There is no school like musical
comedy for the beginner" says Miss
Lewis. 'It is generally said that the
stock company gives the neophyte the
best routine training, but I don't
agree with that. Perhaps a year of
stock work is valuable, but it doesn't
compare with musical comedy train
ing.
Take any actor, man or woman,
who has taken his first steps before
the footlights in q musical show, and
he will have a stage presence and
adaptability which he can hardly
hope to acquire in straight dramatic
work:
moves to rhythm in musical comedy.
It is a dramatic form which develops
your sense of pace and balance. The
stage must represent a series of well
balanced pictures and the material
t3ou are handling is so light that you
must always be deft and quick. The
spirit OF the performance Is every
thing. You must keep the ball In the
air, whether it's brilliant repartee or
mere TOM -foolery, the idea must be
tossed back and forth nimbly. The
mace must never flag.

PRESIDENT-"C -"Cornered."

The President Theater will present
this week. beginning tonight at $40
o'clock, "Cornered," the melodramatic
nlay by Dodson Mitchell, in which
Madee kennedy scored one of the out
standing hits of her career at the AS
tor Theater, in New York, last season.
Miss Wanda Lyon, the new leading
woman of the President Players, Will
have the Madge Kennedy role. and
the play was specially selected be-
cause of the fact that it gives Miss
Lyon a remarkable opportunity to
reflect her strong histrionic talent,
personality and beauty.
"Cornered" is the story of two SIS
ters. one Of whom has sunken to the
dregs while the other has been
climbing upward until she has reach
ed a prominent place in the social
world. The society sister is one of
party Of Summers who make visit
to New York's Chinatown and there,
in a restaurant. the other sister is
discovered. From this point starts
the weird story that intertwines the
lives of the two in a dramatic web of
fascination and which eventually
leads to a powerful climax.
The cast will include, in addition to
both sisters. Henry Duffy. George
Sweet, Lee Patrick, Anne Sutherland,
Constance Brown, Rita Coakley, Rob-
ert Lowe. Guy D'Ennery, John Car
mody, Sam Spedden, Hardie Meakin,

President Players Productions.

I ATE one afternoon during the past
week there rolled into the Penn
sylvania freight yards, in the south
eastern section Of the city. four cars
of theatrical scenery billed to the
President Players. Washington, D. c.
and thereby hangs a tale.
Some weeks ago, when "Abie's
Irish Rose" was in the middle of it's
phenomenal engagement, the directors
of the enterprise made a hurried visit
to New York to look over the theat-
rical field for new productions. They
decided that they needed productions
that would represent the finest roper
tory drama the capital had ever
known, and they believed that Wash
ington wanted real shows at reason
able prices. So they decided to secure
the manuscripts of number of New
York plays that were not yet avail
able for general stock production, but
which were available to the Presi-
dent Players on the peculiarly ad-
vantageouS terms that the players
offered for real hits.
The result was the purchase of the
manuscripts of a remarkable array of
popular successes, many of which
have never been presented in Wash
ington. Among these plays is The
Meanest Man in the World" which

The only music in the piece that can

on the stage in the dance hall scene,

performance, not hold it up as some
or our weighty dramatic actors are
prone to do; Perhaps you have heard
professionals speak OF lifting a
scene'-meaning to brighten it. to
infuse 1t with spontaneity. Musical
comedy training teaches you to do
this subtly. without perceptible strain.
And speaking Of spontaneity, musi-
cal comedy teaches you to keep your
wits about you when you are on the
stage. because in a musical show in
terpolations are apt to occur. Most
comedians are apt to introduce a new
gag or piece Of business on the spur
or the moment. I had two years ex-
perience playing with the late Pete
patley, and during the whole time we
never played tho same show twice.
He was the most impromptu actor I
ever encountered. His wit was so
quick that he would constantly put
a new edge on a scene, and you could
never count on cue. Such expert
ence Is certainly calculated to teach
you poise.
SO maintain that even if you are
going to play Shakespeare, you will
do well to begin with musical COM
edy. 1t teaches you to be nimble in

which gave so much delight to local
theatergoers has broken all house
records in the two largest theaters in

which Is said to have overtopped in

The story of Blossom Time is

life Of Franz Schubert. the great COM
poser. who after composing undyfng
music for twenty-five years-died at
the age Of thirty-one in absolute pow
erty-practically unhonored and un-

so-called Unfinished" Symphony. And

works with distinguished success.

In 1907 Shaw was a student OF the

HTHERE are two things necessary
to win success as a singer, one
is voice and the other is luck. ac-
cording to Roy Cropper, the leading
tenor in Blossom Time
1T is not only that luck is the
prime factor in getting an oppor-
tunity, but it figures very largely in
making the selection of teacher
It is the easiest thing in the world to
ruin a good voice, and there is no
doubt that a great many teachers 90
that very thing. 1 shudder to think
what would have happened to Caruso
If he had fallen into the hands OF
some of our popular vocal teachers.
Il make it a rule not to talk
about theories or methods of voice
The whole matter is so
and there are so many
angles to it, one cannot lay down
any general rules. A good teacher
is one who gets good results with
voice, permanent results.
Americans are becoming a nation
