Being true, however. it has its
serious aspect and the players in
the company are the least bit
worried because they cannot get
all their lines over the footlights.
The laughter sweeps through the
house like a gale, becomes infec-
tious and there Is q steady roar
which sometimes SINNERS down
to a ripple. Owing to the speed
with which the comedy must be
played the performers are hard
put to keep up the tempo and at
every performance many Of the
lines are completely lost to those
sitting out in front.
Before the show reached New
York scouts reported that there
were so many laughs in the play
that the audience would step"
on many Of them. That Is a the
atrical phrase which means that
the audience would kill one laugh
where 1t followed directly after
another. That is exactly what
happened, but instead of actually
killing the laugh the audiences
made more laughs than the pro-
ducer or authors had any idea of,
with the result that there is q
constant, steady laugh going
through the house at all times.
One laugh after another is
always sought for in a comedy
and actors always play for these
laughs, but it has reached a
point now where the performers
in the company wish that there
were not so many laughs. Expert
enced farceurs, however, like
Blanche Ring and Maude Eburne
know how to handle the situation,
yet they are forced a great many

The Daily successes were mea-
ger when one considers the
scope of his reputation. The
Shaw cycle, up to 1910, "Bar-
bara Frietchie," Bahr's 1.-THE
Master" and seve- al box-office
mediocrities, composed the struc-
ture upon which he reared his
fame. To get down to cases,
his fame actually, was the off
shoot OF a stubborn streak
which would have asserted it
self had he been a truck driver,
a sweep or, as he turned out 20
be, an actor.
Alex Woollcott, in yesterdays
World, writes in part:
"He began as an office boy
for Charles f'rohman, a tyran-
nous, maddening office boy of
the kind, who, after assuring
you that C. F. was not in.

that, as a matter of fact, C, F.
had sailed that morning for
Europe"

DAILY gave the theater at
mosphere and a definite tangi-
blllty for which he got scant
credit. His addiction to Shaw at
a time when that usurper of
conventions was anathema. alone
would rate him man of vision
ana courage with potentialities
Tor a great career. That he did
not realize this career he knew
best of all, was due to personal
faults, mainly an antipathy to
most of his fellow humans.
Days last appearance on

was a fine part and one he
acquitted admirably. The ILL

errors on the breast or q movie
The stage. it appears, has it
all over the screen in the matter
Of medals. A stage general or
colonel may wear the discarded
cap Of a pop bottle that. was
thrown away by the last long
shoreman's picnic and no one is
close enough to tell the difference,
but in the moVies-ah, what a
difference. The closeup tells the
story and the real nature of that
pop bottle cap will show up on
the screen like tan shoes with a
tuxedo.
So it is that some fortunate
mortals spend hours and days
and weeks securing medals for
this and that picture on cable
advices from Hollywood or some
other American producing center.
For example, when Dimitri Buch.
owetski started work on Mae
Murray's new starring produc-
ton, Valencia" which opens at
Loews Palace, he needed au.
thentic Spanish medals for Roy
Darcy to wear as the villainous
governor.
Buchowetski had an idea Of the
kind Of a medal he needed but
the property department of the
Metro Goldwyn Mayer studios
were shy Of the exact, authentic
decoration. The cables hummed
and M..G..M.'s European medal
hound went forth on the search
and eventually shipped home a
genuine medal of the Order OF
Santa Maria Of Spain, an order
founded before the days of Ferdi-
nand and Isabella and a series
of lesser authentic medals to go
with it.

Faculty Joins in Scramble for
 Girls Pet

Washington, Oct. 4.-lPl--The nursery rhyme about Mary and her little lamb was given a new twist today when Jessie and her little monkey went to school While Mary apparently was staalthily followed by the lamb, Jessie had permission rom her teacher 10 take her pet to class. The rest of the story runs about like that in the children's book.
 Jessie, If years old. has white nosed monkey named Baby which her father, Andrew r. Campbell, Q marine engineer, brought her from Africa To gratify q desire of her teacher, Jessie took Baby 10 Mac Farland Junior High school today and tied him to the teachers desk while she went to another class room.
 Becoming restless, as monkeys will do, "Baby" broke away and jumped about every oh.tacle in the building looking for his mistress. Excited boys. screaming girls and distraught members of the faculty joined in the chase around corners, through door ways and over desks, but it remained for Jessie herself 10 catch her Simian pet in an areaWay adjacent 10 the school.
 The curious teacher announced she had enough, so Jessie took "Rahy" home. To punish him, she said, she would give him nothing to eat except some lettuce salad and tidbits.
 That's what he gets for his mon key business" Jessie explained on returning to class.

 Mrs. Mettey testified that the clock is worth $3.5o and the towels SL5o.
