The New York Idea. -

"MARRY for whim! That's the New
40 York idea of marriage" said
Langdon Mitchell, when. in 1905, he
wrote his brilliant American> comedy
expressly for Minnie Maddern Fiske.
His idea was to satiri3e the extreme
frfyolity in our American life, seen In
our churches, in politics, In literature,
in music, everywhere. -
1t was produced under the direc-
tion OF Harrison Grey Fiske, with
Mrs. Fiske as the star, at the Lyric
Theater. New York City. An excep-
tional group Of artists were assem-
bled for the production, including
George Arltss. John Mason. Dudley
Digges. Emily Stephens and Marion
Lee.
The theme sounded q new note in
the American Theater, and for the
nrst time an American dramatist was
recognized as a worthy confrere Of
Wycherley. Congreve. Sheridan and
Wilde. s.
In 1907. at the Apollo Theater, Lon
don, 1t was produced. with Frederick
Kerr ana Miss Ellis Jeffreys as MT
and Mrs. Karslaks. Again in 1915, at
the Playhouse. New York City, 1t was
revived by Miss Grace George and her
repertory company, and OF this per-
formance II was said by a leading
critic, THE passing years have left its
satire still pointed, they have not
dimmed It's polish, nor so much az
scratched Its smart veneer"
Evening star., 1924-11-30
Humor Seriously Discussed


since the war. And I disagree with
Mr.. AEnew. again. He asserts that
the Americans have the British to
laugh at. The British, on the other
hand, have themselves, and that cir
cumstance more than balances the
scales, for I believe that an Eng
lishman, more than an American, will
laugh at himself.
There is one point in which Amer
lean audiences are much superior to
English audiences and that is In the
matter of gratitude and applause.
The applause at the end Of the acts
is nFuch more hearty and prolonged
in America than in England.
"One reason for the superiority, Of
course, lies in the fact that In Amer
lea all theater seats are reserved. In
London the pit and the gallery are
generally unreserved. and queues of
people have stood for a considera BILE
time, generally In the rain, waiting
for admission. The result is that the
body of the house in many cases Is
too tired with standing or too wet to
applaud. When I became the man
ager of the Haymarket and later the
Playhouse In London / made every
seat bookable-that is. reserved-and
1t naturally followed that a fresh, dry
audience would outplaud weary,
wet one"
