vance in age Of score OF years.
In the opening scenes the chief
characters are in their tWenties
and early thirties wl1ile in the
second and third acts they have
reached, or are approaching, the
half-century mark. This advance
i'll age is not great enough to
warrant the employment of white
wigs, canes and the other custom
airy evidences Of stage deorepitude,
hut the change must necessarily
be clearly shown to the Spectat-
org in order that the full force OF
the melodramatic situations may
be realized.
Mr.. Warner himself achieves
the appearance of age almost en-
tirely through posture of the body
and slightly different manner of
speech. His facial appearance re-
mains about the same, which
would be the case with a man or
his type and temperament.

ON THEATER

A conference on the American
Theater will be held at the Car
negie Institute of Technology on
November 81 and %. To this con-
ference are invited representative
of the American universities and
colleges, representatives of little
theaCers and community play
houses, and others who are in
terested in the advancement OF
the American theater.
In recent Years there has been
a rapid development of community
theaters throughout the United
States in which the emphasis is
laid on the literary and artistic
side of the drama rather than on
the commercial. In the Ameri-
can university during the past
decade, more attention has been
given to the theater than ever
before. Acting and playwriting
are now being taught in a mum
Der of American colleges. Plays
of literary value are produced
under the direction of members
Of the faculty.

And this is not versiflage with
leila Russell-or leila Morton

1--WE met on Monday and were

and then she is as apt as not to
add: ooh, Harry is a fast work
err, off as well as on the stage.'
leila Russell was born at Re-
we're Beach, near Boston, and Nor
ton, although born in Alabama,
made Boston his home. So they
had a friendly ''old home" inter-
est in each other to start with.
AS a youngster she always had
an ambition to pursue a musical
career and after a preliminary
course in the public schools,
she attended the New England
Conservatory of Music, in Boston,
from where Nordica and many
other famous singers were grad
uated, and won high honors for
her work, both as a singer and
instrumentalist. This led to her
engagement as musical directress
of Keith's Theater in Worcester,

LAS a matter of fact, there is
q good sized proportion of the
first nighters who are really not
sure whether they have liked a
play or not until after they read
the next days newspaper reviews.
Of course, this is not answering
the question about laughter. My
idea is that the sense of humor
