"One-a-Year" Lonsdale.

.TNASMUCH as there is no physical
trait that distinguishes a builder of
drama from the rest Of the human
herd, 1t may be ridiculous to say that
Frederick Lonsdale, author of 1.-THE
High Road" at the National, looks
Alike a playwright. But it is a fact,
and it is also certainty that there
is close relationship between his APP
pearance and his gradually developing
philosophy.
: Philosophy may not be just the right
word, for 1t has heavy ssund, and so
does not seem applicable to Lonsdale's
simple rules of life. There is no af-
.fected manner in his carriage or ges-
lures, and there is no artificiality in his
hedonism. He will admit on the
slightest provocation that he believes
he was put here with an endowment to
enjoy life, and he tries to live up to
his obligations.
When one listens to his informal ex-
PLANTATION of his life's purpose, the kin
ship between his brain and body seem
close. His easy manner almost gets under
tionary effect on any thoroughly
Americanized listener, whose brain
d-ones out a constant do it now" re-
Train, for II there is anything that is
@oreign to Lonsdale's scheme Of living
it is slavery to rigid program. The
''up-and-at-'em" tone that is said tc
permeate Americas feverish life OF
commerce rings unpleasantly in the
Lonsdale ears.
This has something to do with the
stage, because the number Of Lonsdale
comedies to be offered a public that
has been attentive and applauding in
the past is determined almost entirely
by the playwright's habits. He feels
that some power-nature, God OF
parentage-has blessed him with Q
