Mrs. Fiske comes to Washington to-
morrow evening, to play at the Shu-
bert BelaSco Theater in Helena s
Boys" play of today dramatiZed by
Ida Lublenski Ehrlich from a short
story by Mary Brecht Pulver
Mrs. Fiske's is a name to conjure
with. Those who know and love the

ed with wit, the playwrignt's some

as James Whitaker wrote recently in

ritory of her art and come out on the
other side: where she has found the
artists final triumph familiarity
with and a kindly, dubious contempt
for the muse she once worshiped"
1t may be folly to attempt to inter-
pret anothers phrase. but this seems
to mean that Mrs Fiske collaborates
with her playwrights. and brings to
their works an understanding of hu-
man nature which equals, when it
doesn't surpass, their own under
standing of their characters. Ger
tainly she brings the supreme inter-
pretative gift.
In "Helena's Boys" she is the moth
er of two sons, both moderns of the
most modern type, and her problem is
not so much how to make them see
her wisdom as 1t is to understand and
adapt herself to theirs. She accom-
plishes this, however, with highly di-
verting results.
Harrison Grey Fiske has directed
the play. which is produced under the
management and direction of Charles
l.. WAGNER.

Trains to Be Funny.

TULIUS MARX, the comedian of
- I'll Say She Is" says being funny
is one of the most serious vocations
in the world.
Julius Marx claims to be veteran
and a world champion at the game
of being funny. Because being funny
is mighty serious business, he
trains for a new production after a
summers rest right along the same
lines that a champion fighter trains
for a new championship battle.
Il treat my rehearsals just as a
fighter treats his training course"
says Julius. "Rehearsals last from
four to five weeks, and every day
consists of about sixteen solid hours
of workouts for me, because / run,
punch the bag, box with kid" Ted
Lewis, former welterweight champion
of the world, and do gym work and
take rubdowns every day. When i
rehearse L actually work and train.
Il have gone through eight full en-
cores to one number at every re-
hearsal and never skipped a bit of
business. In fact, / couldn't. l enjoy
1T all too much.
Making people laugh takes energy,
stamina, speed, alertness, quickness
of mind and body, and you must be
physically fit to stand up to that
schedule. That's why l say being a
comedian is not funny business
