Old Roman Cement.
TWENTY square feet of the Rom

TWENTY square feet of the Roman
wall at Caerwent was demolished
some time ago by natural movement
of the soil. An accident of this kind
seems to be the only thing that in the
natural course of events can really
damage Roman wall, of which there
are standing in England several hun
dred miles length. The secret of their
permanence is the cement. We do not
know the method of its composition.
All that is known of Roman cement
is that pounded tile forms a consider
able element in it. For the rest. Ro-
man walls were built with stone and
tile from a cement bottom.
The finest specimen in England Is
the wall that crosses Northumberland
from about Newcastle to Carlisle, keep
ing along the ridges of series of small
hills that fall sheer to the north. The
facing of this wall is still in admirable
preservation in most parts, and where
the hewn stone has broken away one
can see the interior mass of rubble and
cement.
The Caerwent fall seems to have been
the breaking away of a length of the
facing. One may practically say that
Roman walls are absolutely enduring.
except for the slipping of the SUBJ
SOIL Nothing touches the cement: Ii
is harder than the stone ITSELF as a
rule. But when the subSoil becomes

Gettysburg andLincoln

wounded. Seven thousand remained IN
those wooded hills, and almost $4,000
were rendered unfit for service.
Lee slipped away during that night
of heavy rain, kindly rain that would
wipe out many of the scars OF that
battle but not those scars made deep
in the earth's tender bosom, for they
were fame's now and their country's.
Meade dared not give more than a
half-hearted pursuit, lest he lose the
hardly won battle. The indecisive VIC
tory at Gettysburg burdened Lincoln
with its incessant questioning
enemy was in Meade's hands, and
empty. There must be-, because of 1t,
almost two more years of war, OF
brother Staying brother, before Lee
could be reft of his sword, so great a
master of the art of war was he.
But Gettysburg was rounded out by
Vicksburg, and hope and courage re-
placed the despair of the North. And
in that new spirit the unending lines
in blue marched to ultimate victory in
the cause of the unbroken Union of the
States.
So once again, as President Coolidge
speaks from within the heart of Gettys-
burg, will those gallant lads storm up
those jagged, rock-strewn hills, strug-
gle through the breast-high wheat,
plunge through swamp and woodland,
in deeds of immortal valor that Lincoln
hymned in his Gettysburg Address.
They are sacred hill slopes and treas
ured plains where Nation kneels today
in love and in pity.

call for the return of their money at
the box Office. Being his own man.
ager, Mr.. Mansfield knew that it might
cost him 5000 or $1,000 to decline to
let his voice compete with the heating
pipes for one more act. But he walked
out on his own show.
Mansfield's despairing cry at re-
hearsal, why did God give me all the
brains?" is still remembered by Ger
tain players on Broadway.
Walter Kingsley, publicity director for
ziegfeld, has probably run against more
temperament than any other man in
the business. But Mr.. Kingsley finds
some kindly excuse for those exciting
explosions that frequently. cause him
and his house much trouble and ex-
pense. There was the case of Elsie
Janis, who walked out because some
one else had been co-headlined with
her.
1T seems an awful thing for an ac-
tresS to throw away several thousands
OF dollars for something nobody but
herself knows anything about" said
Mr.. Kingsley. But Miss Janis must
have been right, because we sent her a
check for her salary.
After all, there are times when the
actors have to fight for themselves.
They are often willing to pay for what
they consider principle. Sometimes
they are justified in making a fuss.
People accuse James Barton of being
temperamental. But when we offered
him check after he had walked out in
tempest of annoyance he refused to
take it. He had thought the thing over
and decided that he was partly to
blame"
Mr.. Kingsley observes that tempera-
ment Is not what 1t was in the oldell
days Others, observing the same thing,
name the Actors Equity Association as
the restraining influence. But the COM
parative calm that now reigns back
stage is credited by Mr.. Kingsley to
what is known as New Thought.
He recalled the time when FRITZ
Scheff, as Dillingham; star, would
walk out If she did not like the color
of somebody's hair, and when Nazimova
was bundle Of nerves. Both these
women, he Said changed completely
after deliberately studying things out.
"They became so tranquil that today
they can talk over any situation with
out getting all steamed up. And, OF
course, there was Nora BayeS. In the
early years she was very excitable
There was no telling how to handle her
In her later years she acquired abSo-
lutte poiSe."
English players, for some reason, are
credited with being less temperamental
than Americans. A Theater Guild
actor, resenting this superior reputation
for poise. has been putting some of his
alien associates through unoficial and
dtfhcult tests this season. A--.4-A---.---

Temperament Costly to Theater

There Is a story to the effect that
when the stage business required Lynn
Fontanne to shake hands with this
gentleman, she might suddenly feel a
clammy oyster nesting in her palm
and be compelled to carry on without
losing her poise!
Horace McVicker, who is probably the
Oldest theatrical manager in New York
remembers getting a headache as a re-
suit Of the most aggressive of the scores
Of temperamental storms he has wit
messed. The headache was administered
by Sarah Bernhardt.
Mr.. McVicker and Maurice Grau
Bernhardt's manager, were sitting peace
fully in theater watching madame di-
rect a rehearsal. Bernhardt suddenly
left the stage, came and took seat i'm
mediately behind them and began an
animated harangue about something.
But her French was zoo swift ard too
Partisan for their New York ears. First
she addressed Mr.. Grau, who was sup
posed to be a linguist Then in despair

she seized the Grau head and banged
it again and again against the Nc
Wicker dome. Then she went back to
the stage. There again she addressed
them and with the aid of unmistakable
signs she made them understand that
she wished them to suppress streak
of light that penetrated between the
footlightS and the floor.
Mr.. McVicker remembers night in
CALIFORNIA; Chinese New Year eve
when Mckee Rankin almost sacrificed
his share of the receipts-about $1,000
over an argument as to whether the
door between stage and house should
be kept locked or open. There was a
house rule which required that the
door remain locked. Mr.. Rankin wanted
it open so that one of his men could
pass through for the count-up in the
box Office. The only other way was
around three sides of a block from the
front of the house to the stage door.
The house was sold out. The audi
ence waited and waited. At 9:'30 Mr.
Rankin announced that the company
was dismissed for the evening. But
Nance ONeil and all except two 9TH
ers stayed. Then the deadlock was
ended. The door was opened. A scout
ran down the street and brought back
two painting actors. The curtain went
up.
THE only reason I remember that
night is because we were so terribly
hard up," said Mr.. McVicker. I'VE had
been playing to almost empty houses.
l managed to scrape up enough money
to pay hotel bills and railway fares, but
we hadn't paid salaries for weeks.
Money never looked more important to
me than it did that night. Our luck
broke then and there and continued for
some time-long enough to take us on
to Honolulu"
What does 1t all cost-the loss to
producers, authors. actors, everybody?
Anybody can figure 1t out. Suppose
"Abie's Irish Rose" when that play was
young!

MARVEL TAKES NO CHANGES
By Fannie KiIbourne


sooner or later. I must have one artist
of the regular staff who's bachelor,
who can pack her trunk and catch a
boat for France at two hours notice"
On her way home that afternoon
Marvel made arrangements to begin
lessons in French.
THE next day she met Terry Malone.
= She met him, oddly enough, in
the home of Mrs. William Todhunter,
whom she had known at art school,
She had been flippant wise-cracking
little cynic in those days.
But when William Todhunter came
along, she forgot all this smart-aleck
wisdom. Now, these few years later,
she had three babies, little house in
Oakley, N. j., plodding commuter of a
husband. Her slim artists hands were
pricked along the forefnger from sew
ing on the 4-year-old'S dresses and
roughened from doing the baby's daily
washing.
Terry Malone was William Todhunt-
er's immediate boss. Caroline, oppressed
by the necessity and the responsibility
of inviting him out for dinner, invited
Marvel, too. Marvel, with her sleek
auburn hair and her dinner dress, SIM
pie, but as French as a shrug of the
shoulders, added immeasurably to the
effect of shaded candles and daffodils
on the table. She and Mr.. Malone rode
back to New York together on the 10:42.
It was 40-minute trip, and, for the
first half they we're fellow guests, chat
ting pleasantly, politely. They looked
straight at each other as they talked,
discussing the new plays and the old
weather, the facts that neither of them
had had time to learn golf and that they
had both intended some time to take a
cab and ride through Central Park in
the Spring.
When they were about halfway into
town, they stopped talking. For brief
bit the silence was simply that, a COM
monplace cessation of sound. Then
suddenly it began to change. Marvel
could actually feel it changing. This
must be imagination, her common sense
knew. But she could feel it. 1t was as
If silence had suddenly ceased to be
mere absence of quality, had become
quality of itself Significant, waiting.
Uneasily, Marvel tried to break it and
found that she couldn't. There was
something suddenly strange about that
silence. AS indescribable and as STIR
ring as the first feel of Spring in the air.
were set to quivering by it. Marvel tried
to steady herself by turning to the VIM
dow. She could feel that the man be-
side her was watching her and slowly
she looked back.
I'm having a premonition, said
Terry Malone, trying in vain to make it
sound light. Il feel that I'm going to
fall in love with you.'

STRANGE, after a flying start like
~ that, that it should have taken
them half year to reach that rainy
afternoon in Marvel's studio But, some
way or other, they weathered April,
May June, Japanese cherry blossoms in
Central Park dogwood, lilacs, wild roses
in their Sunday walks in the country.
Terry had to be away most of July.
In August Attire offered to send Mar
vel to cover the races. After much
thought, she resigned her position with

from Paris as casually as Marvel did
from Grand Central to Times Square.
It was to this star that Marvel hitched
her wagon. +.
The next step, of course, was to give
up making drawings for the wholesale
houses. This step was easy enough.
One afternoon Marvel took a case of
samples, original drawings she had made
after the sophisticated style of Attire,
walked into the editorial Office of the
Dry Goods Gazette and got job AS
easily as that. She would sign her
drawings there. She would be encour-
aged to work out a style of her own.
The only possible fly in the ointment
was the fact that her salary would be
about a third Of what she had been
making.
Marvel took the position at o'clock
in the afternoon. BY bedtime she had
sublet her studio and moved back into
the smallest, cheapest room in the Arts
Club
The day Marvel went to work for the
Dry Goods Gazette the old blue teapot
came out of her trunk and into her toy
bureau drawer Every week when her
salary was paid surprisingly large
portion of it went into the teapot.
Money for lessons, particularly. Eve
ming courses in the history of costume,
in applied design, life classes, lectures
on textiles
Three such ambitious, driving, one

seemed as If the old blue teapot had
count of its funds changed overnight.
No more. courses and classes One hat,
$45; one scarf, $26; one tapestry van
ity, $14.
Thus the old teapots funds began to
go. But mad? Not at all. Marvel was
for another step up.
She had borne with the limitations
of the Dry Goods Gazette till she was
wholly ready for move. No rash, i'm
pulsive Jump that merely wasted energy
and left one no better off than before
not for Marvel.
Every afternoon Marvel pumiced
traces of ink from her fingers and be-
came the leisurely shopper. The smart
est and most exclusive importers shops
on Fifty-seventh street or Madison ave-
nue., the mauve-hung French rooms of
the larger stores now and then, the most
exclusive of the Observation-Disclosures be-
came MarvelS hauntS. In them she saw
the sophisticated styles she wanted to
draw.
She had toned down the walk she had
learned from the models to something
less blatant, but still ever so family
theatrical. The show owners were un-
der the impression that she was an
actress that they really ought to know
by sight. Every now and then she
would deem it prudent to make pur-
chase; never the very cheapest thing
of its kind, but as cheap as she dared.
This was not a total loss, of course.
A hat from Marions might be recog-
nized at Lizette's. Money for these
appearing but really shrewd
purchases went straight from her pay
envelope into the old blue teapot the
first of every week.

RY the end of the year Marvel was
~ ready for her next move. She took

stores-Solid, substantial. The salary

Goodson g. Black. Free-lancing was
precarious, but it was obviously the next
step.
If Terry had really been as important
a person in his firm as the young Tod
hunters thought him, it would have
been little simpler But he was pretty
much in Marvel's own position. Plenty
of promise ahead, and, in the meantime,
he was making none too much money.
Every reason in the world for two sem
sible, practical people to wait patiently.
But whoever heard of a Terry Malone
who was purely sensible and practical?
And Marvel, for all her sleek-groomed
sophistication, was tossed by emotion
like leaf in cyclone.
The races, an opportunity such as
she had never had before, seemed dull
and meaningless. The art editors en-
thusiasm over the sketches she brought
back-enough year ago to have set
her floating on air-waS part of ambi-
tion's lack of SAVIOR. She would catch
up Caroline Todhunter's baby. who,
everybody said, looked just like his
daddy, and bury her face in his warm,
fat neck. She would think of holding
in her arms baby who looked like
Terry.
And then that rainy afternoon in
the studio.
The Monday morning after Terry
had left Marvel set to work harder
than ever. Every minute full, to keep
from missing him. The evening lee
lures on anatomy-the smartest
Partisan must have a body inside her
clothes-a class in design at S in the
afternoon that took up the loneliest
part of the day. Assignments coming
more and more frequently. She landed
small advertising order, her first, and
threw herself into challenging new
undertaking.
1t was nearly time for Terry to be
back. Every morning Marvel wakened
with the lift of knowing that it was
one day nearer, when the call came
from Attire" Could Miss Mannering
come down right away to see the art
editor? Miss Mannering could. She
was in mis- Office half an hour later.
The editor smiled at her.
