press. Hearing of a famous doctor
in Paris who had successfully cured
ailments such as his own, he insisted
upon being taken to Paris although
he was warned that the trip would
probably be futile The respect and
esteem with which he was held by
his own people is illustrated by the
thing that happened when it was an
nOunced that he was about to 60 to
Paris in search of another lease on
health and life. A regiment passed
in front of him. Bj0rnson stood on
the veranda of his house, surrounded
by his entire family, and the officers
and the men saluted as they passed
by. This salute, it will be remem-
bered, is only given to a commanding
general or member Of the royal
house. And from the ranks of the
soldiers, as they passed by, there was
a spontaneous outburst, expressing
devotion and gratitude. The King of
Denmark sent his own coach and con-
ductOr to Norway to Bjornson's home
and negotiated with the countries
through which Bjornson had to pass
to reach Paris so that his train might
stop anywhere at any time and as long
as it pleased. The French govern
ment sent representative to the bor-
der to receive him. But time and
disease took the toll BjornsOn died
April 26, 1910. His body, wrapped in
the Norwegian flag, was returned by
train to Copenhagen, to which place
the King of Norway sent a man-of-
war to bring his body home. When
the body reached Oslo (Christiania
as it was then called) a fort fired

mense multitude was waiting to see
the remains of Bjornson brought
ashore to be buried near the grave
where Ibsen sleeps.
World MOurns Death.
When the news came of his death,
all the world mOurned, and as Edwin
Bjorkman says, 1.-The Norwegians,
Swedes and Danes forgot their peren-
NAL chickering's in a united outpouring
of apprehension and sorrow. Every
body saw suddenly in the dying poet
the principal embodiment of their
kinship and their common cultural
heritage. He who, in the prime of
his manhood, had so often been ac-
cused of sowing strife and misunder-
standing, was now recognized as the
man who had hidden each people to
be itself in truth in order that it
might more fully win the respect and
confidence of all the Others"
And now shall we say land thus his
life ended?" Shall we say that this
man whom the London Times charac-
terized as the greatest orator of the
world of his day." this man of ideas,
of sympathy and vision, this man
whose voice was lifted at every turn

YOHN VAN DRUTEN, 80 years old,
has been writing plays for %
years. Four of his many works
~ have been produced on Broad
way-"Young Woodley," Diver
sion," AFTER Alp and There's Always
Juliet"
Mr.. Van Druten studied law at the
University Of London and has lectured
about it for seven years at the Univer-
sity of Wales, in response to family
policy, early fixed upon, that he should
adopt some manner of living more sub
stantially promising than the prospect
of becoming a playwright-somed day.
That some day" arrived with an en-
thusiastic sounding Of critical hautboys
on the first night of Young Woodley,"
now somewhat more than seven years
past. Mr.. Van Druten, then in London,
woke up to find himself famous, and
from the lord chamberlain's point Of
view, notorious. Mr.. Van Druten did
not 20 to New York to see his play. In
fact, he never did see 1t in New York,
nor in England either until a few years
later, for the lord chamberlain there
first censored 1t as an attack on the
public school system, and maintained
the ban on it for three years.
A certain equAnimity seems entirely
characteristic of Mr.. Van Druten. Per-
haps it is because he has q really vast,
solid stretch of dramatic work behind
him. His first play, he will tell you SOL
emnly, was a flve-act tragedy having
to do with Mary, Queen OF Scots, and
he wrote it at the unbl.nking age Of 2.
Evening star., 1932-12-11
Author Van Druten

It took 10 minutes to play it, and he Is
sorry that the manuscript is lost. It's
length might have proved such happy
revelation in the modern theater. He
wrote a full-length play when he was
40. He has written verse, short stories
and two novels. The drama, however,
is the medium to which he returns un-
failingly with the feeling that it is his
own. But although 1t is his strong
conviction that "all humanity is the
legitimate province Of the dramatist, F"
he will not write play about America.
II am not one Of those Englishmen
who stay in America for a week or a
month and think that they can go back
and write drama about this country" :"
Is his contention.
Nevertheless, during past visit here,
he gave one the impression that he was
leveling upon this country a fresh, in
terested and receptive gaze. He ad-
mires the American drama and thinks
that ''it Is much more vital than the
English. which is in peculiarly anemic
state right now. But there is fine
experimentation going on here, partic-
ularly In the work Of the Little The
ater."

ArlisS becomes very serious when he
discusses the finer points of motion
picture making. The humor that plays
so readily through those fine, wise eyes
fades out bit but is never quite gone.
There is amazing youth and optimism
in his nose But ArliSS' hands were
the thing that arrested my attention

them, and they are as vital, as beau

Is the only actor OF his group who has
made outstanding success in motion

~ FORGE ARLISS, the man who
won't let Hollywood get him!
r The modern miracle in movies
~ Is the success which this actor
has had in the motion picture
industry. It Is no disparagement OF
the cinema audience to say that the
very subtle and exceedingly fine grada-
tions of humor, irony or sentiment sell
dom 90 with the great public; such
films and such plays are usually lin
tied to what we, in Hollywood, term
"class" audiences.
But George Arliss has come to the
movies without patronage, without con-
descension of any kind, and with the
keen, fine Judgment and precision he
brought to his years on the stage. His
pictures, one and all, have been flnan-
cial and artistic successes; they have
had a wide range and for some OF them
notably "Old English"-the rival pro-
ducing companies had forecast
gloomy future. Their prophecies have
been wrong George Arliss has steadily
progressed, rolling up larger follow
ing with each film, until now ne

you do it?'
Arliss laughed. And, by the way, that
Is one of the merriest laughs in all this
world. "I suppose" said he, "by try
ing my best to give to each picture the
thing I brought to each play when I
was on the stage" Then, more Sc
riously: you see, I find that nothing
can be shot from the cuff as they
call it here, successfully. I find occa-
sionally that we put in line-a line
necessary to the action and which we
insert as we go along-invariably that
line sticks out in the finished perform
ance: it is alien, misfit
"One of the things I have wanted,
and that the studio has given me, Is
thorough rehearsal and careful writing
of the script. We study the story from
every angle before we begin to write
it; we are as sure of the finished script
as we possibly can be before We shoot.
Then, once we begin to shoot, never
work after 4:30 in the afternoon.
I had to smile at this. l had not
lived this long in Hollywood without
hearing of Jenner, the gentlemans

at 80 and removes Arliss' wig, should
