Crept Into the Talkies.
THE extraordinary part about one

THE extraordinary part about one OF
our foremost actresses is that she
crept into the talkies with none Of the
usual fanfare and hi1labaloo. Nance
O'Neil. who may be seen this week at
the Palace supporting Ruth Chatterton
in THE Lady of Scandal" had this
fate
Miss O'Neil may be said literally to
have dropped from the clouds into the
Hollywood studios. With scarcely a
word of warning she appeared in THE
Rogue Song" and more recently in
Ladies of Leisure" In both she scored
heavily, and in both there were always
people in the audience who wondered
who this excellent actress was. "She
seems familiar" was the edict all
around. And, indeed, the former star
of such Broadway successes as '"The
Passion Flower" and "Magda" should be-
OF late years the exotic and tenn
pestuous Nance has not been much in
evidence before the real footlights. That
perhaps is the reason for the failure on
the part of some of the public to rec
ogniZe her. And also perhaps Holly
wood did not know she was worth ex-
plotting.

The Award of the Just.

THE Pulitzer prize gun has gone off
and, now that the smoke has
cleared, Green Pastures" appears not
only as one of the distinguished win
ners, but one that refuses to provoke
argument. In other words, for the
first time in a prolonged decade the
Broadway literati seem to agree on
something.
The fact that the judges chose to
honor this play reflects glory, but not
any particular shrewdness on their
parts. For, out of the Broadway melt
ing pot they were able to fish only
this one drama, the others being con-
sidered not worth the attention OF a
turned some of the drama moguls sour,
because, even II the judges were re-
solved that no play Of the season had
anywhere near sufficient virtues for the
Pulitzer prize, these other gentlemen
were of the opinion that 1.-THE Last
Mile" and "The Criminal Code" trod
very close on the winners heels.
This, then, was the only argument
that came up-the correlative values OF
the non-winners to the winner. But
Green Pastures" baptized with the
Pulitzer dipper. found itself, like Noah,
unmolested on the top of the world.
a thing has occurred along the usually
puckered boulevards of the theatrical
city. Whenever, heretofore, the prize
for the best play Of the season has
been bestowed such q howl has gone
up as must have reached even the
pearly confines of st. Peter. The
judges have been lkened either to q
pack of sheep, following the box-office
thermometer. or they nave been ac-

National Players Remain.

As might have been expected, not
withstanding their preliminary an
nouncement of a 10-week season, Man
ager Cochran has decided that the Ma
tional Players will continue, with tempt
ing plays and lower prices.
Subscribers for the preliminary season
will have their same seats, reserved each
week, but they must call for them not
later than the day before the perform
ance. If they omit to call two weeks in
succession, the reservations will be can
called thereafter. Prices will range from
81 downward for evening performances,
and for both Wednesday and Saturday
matinees the price will be so cents.
Following "Dracula," the plays, prob
ably in the order named, will include
The Bachelor Father" THE Little
Accident" Your Uncle Dudley" Bro
ken Dishes" "It Never Rains" The
Royal Family" 1.-The Constant Wife"
THE Command to Love" and Jimmie S
Women" There may be more. 1t all
depends upon the desire OF the Gus
toners. ..s
The company. of course, will play the
plays presented.

cused of wishing to boost some local
favorite. In the latter case Paul
Green's "In Abraham's Bosom" aroused
the stormiest of battles. Even Strange
Interlude" was banded among the
more acid wits as dire mistake some
time after it had won the verdict.
That Mr.. Connelly's Green Pas
lures" should find itself the winner by
such an overwhelming majority is a
sign that should gladden. the hearts of
the sincere drama wellwisher. For here

the most childlike version of the

Of the more accustomed theatricalisms
of the day. It is a far cry from the
spirit of the talkies" that the public
has been converted to. It Is quite diff
ferent from anything that has gone
before it on the. stage. It is-to be
frank-a masterpiece.
Thanks, then, to the judges and to
whatever else may have done SO for
having called attention to It.!
