A Scotch Story,

EDDIE QUILLAN got into an argu-
~ ment with Russell Gleason as to
which of the two had made his stage
debut first
Russell claimed priority, inasmuch as
his grandmother had carried him on
the stage at the age of 3 months. Ed
die countered with the statement that
he is a year older than Russell and
appeared on the stage as soon as he
could walk Russell naturally wanted
to know just how old Eddie was when
he learned to walk.
Dad" Quillan then appeared on the
lot. Russell put this question to him
without letting him known the reason:
when was Eddie first able to walk?"
Dad" Quillan, who claims Glasgow,
Scotland. as his birthplace. thought for
a moment, then with twinkling eyes
replied:
when Eddie was a year old his
mother and I feared he would never
try to walk, but just about that time
Glasgow decided to raise the street car
fare. and. true to his Scotch instinct,

within a month";"

will tell you that when Summer comes
the playgoers tire of serious drama and
seek relaxation under the golden tents
| of folly. Let them but see the tender
| blue of wistful skies, smell the petunia's
fragrant odors, or hear the robin bill
and coo. and they will relinquish their
attachment to passions whirlWindS for
contacts of frothier character. Then
is the time for solemn plays to exit
leaving the boards, as they have been
| called, to the frivolers of farce and
| extravaganza.
But the dramas rules, like those of
automobiling and the liquor business,
are fragile. 1t frequently disregards
the most reasonable regulations, thereby
filling the lives of its practitioners full
of exciting uncertainties. 1t has been
said of the theater that it is the most
treacherous of the occupations. The
credulous innocents who depend upon
1t for a happy livelihood are oft be-
trayed by its f1ckleness, and even the
most wary Of them are liable to disap-
pointment. The Theater Guild, for in
stance, has had faith in the promise
that such long and solemn marathon
as Strange Interlude" would be neg
lected by playgoers during the months
Of heat and humidity, and that 1t would
wither and die, making room for some

So for weeks the guilds announce
ments have proclaimed that Strange
Interlude" Is in its last days. Mr.
Moeller, Miss Wesley, Miss Helburn,
Mr.. Langner and Mr.. Wertheim have
said to it Here's your hat-what's your
hurry?" as they waited with polite i'm
patience to put the shutters up and
lock the doors. But despite their hints,
Strange Interlude" declines to be
evicted and threatens to remain indefi-
nitely. 1t is now in its second Summer
and the guilds governors are dismayed
by its reluctance to depart. Just when
they suspect 1t is about to leave 1t

Most of the Broadway matinees on
Memorial day were not attended. It
was a hot and patriotic afternoon, and
the drama lovers felt the lure of out
door recreation upon the golf links,
lawn tennis courts and bathing beaches.
Many trivial indoor revueS and farces
were neglected on that holy day for
pleasures less combining. The ther-
mometers were all agog with activity,
and the theater's temptations were at
their ebb. Yet those who we're anxious
to see Strange Interlude" were so
numerous that Police Commissioner
Whalen was almost asked by the guild
management for advice as to how a
mob should be stemmed.
The career of Strange Interlude" Is
just another infraction of the dramas

Dead Duck Famous.
THE most famous bird in motion pi

THE most famous bird in motion pic
lures is dead. "Waddles," the
duck, which made her debut into films
with Louise Fazenda. has just died in
the arms of her mistress in Hollywood.
'Waddles" and Louise Fazenda start
ed together at the Sennett Studio, and
many of their comedies were made
riotous by their combined efforts. When
the duck became too old for work, Mack
Sennett presented her to Louise, and
she quacked her last quack at the clever
coincidence in the home she helped
earn the money to build.
Many actors who made successes in
silent pictures have redoubled their
popularity in sound films. Who knows
