Fay Banter.

ONCE upon time. as the story
~ books say. there was an amateur
dramatic performance in Los An
geles, with a "babies' chorus" as the
feature. 1t happened that one of the
youngsters, who had been pushed for
ward by her doting mother, and who
had two or three words to speak, for
got her lines at the critical moment
and another infant" not previously
prepared. sensing the predicament
sprung into the gap and made the
hit of the evening.
This precocious young lady was
Fay Banter. the star of THE Dream
| Girl" due at Polls this evening. AT
that time the embryo actress was just
five years old. A few days later her
parents were informed. in a message
from the Burbank Theater where
the Morosco Stock Company was
playing, that there was a child's role
| in the play for the following week.
and that little Fay could have it for
the asking.
That Is how Fay BANTER started on
the road to success.
When she took her first long jump
to New York, after many isappoint-
ments in producing managers Of
fees, she secured part with Mrs
Fiske in Mrs. Bumstead Leigh. y
Then, on the advice of Mrs. Fiske
she returned to stock for a season
or two.
1t was William Harris, jr., who
gave Miss Banter her first real op-
portunity. in Arms and the Girl, .
which was. Broadway success
There We're other plays leading up to
East Is West" in which she made a
phenomenal hit. and then came "The
Dream Girl" with a character as
whimsical and dainty as that OF

The woman in Shaws Candida" Is
not a super or sublimated person. but
rather the essential quality of woman
as she exercises her, nature among the
parts of life. She is a creature near
to the sources of our essential human
life, close to birth and death wise and
sad from the pressure of our lives
necessities and patient out of her IA
ta1fsm and sweet understandings. She
is the Intervention between huma nitv
and the world II nature and natural
law.
In her problem she has to consider
the living forces in Marchbanks. the
poet, and in Morell. the preacher, re-
former, popular orator, husband and
champion of causes. She knows that
Marchbanks is the stronger of the two
because his quality is more complete
within itself. his fight is straight and
wild, ironical and far. She knows that
Morell is the weaker because he is all
a muddle among many confusing tai
ents and reactions. The poet has no
good intentions and no conscience be-
cause his ideas and his actions are one,
as his nature is. Morell needs to eX-
ercise his conscience, his goodness, his
nobler self. He Is the one who needs
the gentle breast of wise mother
life. For him Candida decides. To
him she gives her hands and her pity.
She knows that Marchba nks. will suf-
fer, but she also knows that his is the
tragedy of all life. For her there is
nothing new In the tears of things.
So it will be seen in going over
briefly the symbolism of the characters
in Candida that the play is nothing
IL not a great human document based
upon the things that happen in life it.
self. CANDIDA" is not Shaw any more
than life is Shaw. But the play is a
great and wonderful understanding of
characters in their relationship to each
other, expressed in language that only
Bernard Shaw can employ.

Variations of a Permanent

there used to be boxes which would

an important consideration in the
popularity of an actor: one which
has been largely subordinated to
agility of ankle Mr.. Wilson revives

Facial play is still employed in the

gree that it partakes of the general
theatrical tendency to athletics Mr..

Forecasting the pecuniary pros
poets of play is a fascinating
diversion. but about as reliable as
formulating tips on the races. There
is potent, though indehnable, ele-
ment of handicap. The finer. speci-
mems do not always have the best
chance; which must be admitted
when "Abie's Irish Rose" an object
of widespread intellectual scorn, is
still playing with enormous profit,
while THE Sapphire Ring source
of genuine delight to a series of
most exacting audiences, could be
bludgeoned into inanimation before
it has had fair chance to catch its
breath. Perhaps The Sapphire
Ring was not liked because it ven
tured departure from the story OF
the little girl who loved above her

Announcement is made that the

will dissolve. thereby enabling its in
dividual members to devote less at
tention to commercial stratagems
and more to producing and manag-
ing. The opening of the Summer
theater season is proclaimed by the
announcement of The Nervous
Wreck which sounds appropriate
as it suggests the state which the
theater has gradually been approx
mating. This play, after its frs,
performance in this city, proved Z
stalwart specimen, and no doubt
the general theater will SO reasser,

Shaw and ''Candida.'

IJNTIL the Actors Theater revival
in New York last December. Can
dida," Bernard Shaw's brilliant COM
edy, had not been done professionally
in this country since 1908. when Ar.
mold Daily gave 1t his attention. DAILY
was. in fact responsible for the first
professional production of the Shaw
classic In America, and outside of the
performances accredited to him and
his associates the play was allowed to
remain inactive over a period of more
than 20 years.
The Actors Theater, which has set
out to create and maintain high stand
ards of acting and production, be-
lieved that there were potential pos
abilities in Candida" revival from
a strictly modern point Of view. This
Is probably its line of reasoning.
AS d matter OF fact, Candida" in
spite of it's age. is modern play and
can be thoroughly enjoyed in mod
ernlyl receptive way. The story has
the, touch of the ma sses. and 6livesting
a Shaw revival OF. the maze of critical
platitudes that are apt to be woven
about the event. it will be found that
a Shaw play is just good theatrical
fare, highly seasoned with incisive
English and meant for general con-
sumption. :.
The so-called tntellectuals delight in
the pose of attributing this meaning
and that meaning to the Shaw dia-
logue, but when 1t comes to a real,
|common-sense diagnosis 1t will be
found that Shaw is just keen analyst
who expresses in brilliant fashion his
opinions of the people with whom he
comes in contact.
In Candida, - for instance, we find
a wife, stenographer, a clergyman, n,
his assistant, poet and plain citi-
zen. Ordinary folk these, yet under
the Shaw touch they are nodded into
wonderfully outlined human beings.
