ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS"


'Dracula," which will be the attrac-
ton at the National for one week,
starting tomorrow night, was one of
the most discussed dramas of the past
season in New York. The success of
this strange mystery play can be
largely attributed, it is said, to the
mouth-to mouth advertising it received
during it's run of the entire season.
Theatergoers who enjoyed a quick
fire procession of super quality thrills,
surprises, shudders and sensations
went to see "Dracula" and would sug-
gest to friends to go see "Dracula," IAN
ample feast of the uncanny and super
natural"
Hamilton Deane and John Balderson
dramatized "Dracula" from Bran
Stoker's well known novel. 1t is the
story of vampire, restless, roaming
spirit that in human form infests the
country side from midnight to dawn,
casting forth ominouS warning of his
coming and leaving terror and moaning
mortals in his wake. He faStens his
pale lips to the throats of sensitive
girls and draws them with menacing
hypnotism to a frightful doom.
1t is safe to say that this Is unique
mystery play, because it deals with
the supernatural and has no explana-
ton to offer at its conclusion.
"Dracula" is now in its fourth year
in England.
The cast includes Bernard Jukes,
Raymond Huntley, Margot Lester, Ed
ward Van Sloan, Theda Fyler, Carl
Reed, Julio Brown, Herber Bunston and
Terrence Neill.

the spectator in a weird confusion
as to motives and personalities.
Finally the players throw the en-
tire fabric into the discard and
inform the friends in front that
it was all only a dream. There
are hearty admirers who cannot
quite enjoy, after an evening of
narrowing experiences, being told
even by so compelling an actress
that everybody was 'only fooling."
The play commands much expert
attention, and it is a loosely fash
ioned creation which may be let
out here and pulled in there until
it will acquire enough symmetry
to enable those who want to see
an actress who could be so con-
vincing as Juliet and as the wife
of the Roman FabiuS that they
will be easily persuaded to classify
the Moon play as fantasia woven
from odds and ends Of a very busy

It remained for Harry Wagstaff
Gribble to pioneer a safe, but not
easily followed, trail to the kind
of literary expression required
for drama dealing with social
conditions in America on the same
terms of intellectually that dis
tinguiShed writer's like IbSen or
Suderman. The conflict between
obStinately conservative and i'm
petuouSly modern society whether
it be society in the humble home
or society of luxurious habit
when discussed in drama calls for
a deftness of analysis which must
be supported by a basic stratum of
scientific thought.

'Revolt" reveals the contrast be-

teaching and the new sensational
ism, together with the sad results
when effort, more determined
than well advised, is made to CO.
ordinate the two. The revolt of
youth against the rigid discipline
of puritaniSm is not so reSentful
as its revolt against the obvious
insincerity that is trying to ex-
plot tractable child as an infant
prodigy in the pulpit. The loyalty
to traditions of the home and to
old standards is preserved in the
minds of the younger, but the old
man, too severe in his eXactionS
of uncompromiSing obedience, re-
fuses to be rescued from his mis-
takes by following with some
slight sympathy the thought OF
the young women and men about
him as they adjust to new condi-
tionS. A slip of the foot that COM
pelS an effort to tread new ways;
ways so unfamiliar as to lead him
only to humiliation, and finally to
self destruction. It is well written
drama, with no efforts at rhetori-
cal ostentation. The production

its own side of the footlights 1t
leaves little room for an ad-
verse thought.

Public Likes "Dracula. :"

London, and every critic panned it to
a cinder, but the public liked it, and 1t
made money from the start.
In March of last year Horace Live
right, New York theatrical producer
and publisher, saw "Dracula" at the
Little Theater, London, where 1t had
been giving continuous performances
for more than four years. In the face
of repeated warnings from other New
York producers, then in England, he
bought the rights to the play for this
country and presented it at the Fulton
Theater, New York, on october 5, where
it played to the same sort of business
as in London.
John L. Balderson, London corre-
spondent of a New York newspaper,
made the American version of Ora
cula" for Mr.. Liveright.
At the present time "Dracula" in
London has made another move to a
more commodious theater, the Garrick,
which the far-seeing manager has
leased for another year. In the mean
time there are three companies of
"Dracula" playing in the provinces of
England.

Freaks and Films

This question arises in connection
with First Nationals sensational story
of carnival life in film form, "The

In the carnival grounds, picturesque

women, living skeletons, midgets and
the like.
In Hollywood, it is claimed, there
are something like $50 midgets, who are
available for pictures at any time, or
for circus or sideshow work
In New York there is a street in
which practically every resident is
midget. They live there when not on
the road. Many go to Europe when
business Is bad in America.
With the dearth of carniyals and the
fewer circuses nowadays, many freaks
are sometimes hard put to find liv-

lines. Some are wealthy; others de-

"COUNT DRACULA," the book by
Bran Stoker, from which the
play "Dracula" was written, was pub
lished about 30 years ago. According
to the records of the publishers of this
novel, it has sold an average of 10000
copies year ever since.
Twenty-seven years ago Bran Stoker,
then connected with the theater, made
dramatization of the novel. 1t was
staged in 80 scenes for copyright pur-
poses. The performance began at 1890
in the morning and the final curtain
rang down at 6:15 at night.
In 1922, 81 years later, Hamilton
Deane, whose mother was engaged to
be married to Stoker, secured permis-
sion to make modern dramatization
of the novel. The original Deane
dramatization was produced in Derby,
England, in November, 1923.
In 1926 Hamilton Deane had made
so much money from the stage presen-
tation of the vampire play, so called,
that he decided to risk a London pro-
duction. On the night of February IA
he presented it at the Little Theater,

Ten years ago Barton was actually
playing on the burlesque wheel. He
also appeared as a featured dancer IN
several editions of the Passing Show
and in Ziegfeld revues, In addition to
"The Last Waltz" Dew Drop Inn"
and "The Rose of Stamboul."
Barton's introduction to fame came
with dramatic suddennesS. During the
actors strike in August and September,
1919, the actors put on benefit per-
formances of their own to relieve dis

was billed for star position at one
of these benefits but at the last min
