Started as a Pianist.

MARGARET CARLISLE, who sings
- the role of Sarah. Marehioness of
Shayne, in Bitter Sweet" at the Ma
tional Theater next week, started her
career as a concert pianist. She did
not dream she had voice when she
was concentrating on the piano while
studying with Josef LEVINE, the emf
nent pianist and teacher. 1t was while
touring the United States with various
opera companies, acting as accompanist
to the various artists, that 1t was dis
soprano voice.
Born In Elgin, Ill, and growing up
there, her home environment was most
untheatrical Her mother had charm
ing voice. but she had never aspired to
use it other than for the entertain
ment of her friends.
Miss Carlisle finally landed in New
York to study music and had for her
teacher Paul Althouse. great tenor, who
is rejoining the Metropolitan Opera Co.
this year after a long absence during
which he had been associated with the
Chicago Opera Co. Althouse. mag
nificent artist and a splendid teacher,
saw the possibilities Of her voice. recog-
nized Miss Carlisle's great potentiaI-
tiles and predicted splendid career for
her. which prediction has come true.
Her debut was made in London. with
the Prince of Wales an interested lis
tener. Returning to America in 1880,
Miss Carlisle made her first American
appearance In the role of Julia in
Show Boat" the role made famous by
Helen Morgan. Last season Miss Car
Isle sang the leading role in this same
musical piece On the road with Miss
Morgan in her original role

a
H extraordinary figure who has
n within the past year and half
i risen to enormous popularity
and fame, and who will return
to the stage In Jed Harris production
of "The Lake" at the National Theater
on Monday evening, December 18. did
not find her climb to success SO delight
fully easy as the world Is prone to sus-
pect. Her life story is, in fact. the con-
ventional tale of bitter disappointment
and heart-breaking set-backs.
Her career began smoothly enough in
Hartford, where she grew up as one OF
family of five normally exuberant
children. Her father, DR.. Thomas N.
Hepburn, is distinguished and pros
porous surgeon. Her mother was
notable worker for women's suffrage in
the days when women's suffrage was
otherwise prominent in Hartford Tor
her social and political work.
Katharine was. educated at home by
private tutors and later at Bryn Mawr,
where she did bit of amateur dramatic
work, without ever quite setting the col
lege agog. Her first experience In the
theater was in Edwin Knopf's stock
company at Baltimore, where she played
for a part of a season with enough sue
cess to warrant Mr.. Knopf's giving her
a try at the leading role in his Broad
way production of 'The Big Pond"
Then came the first reverse In what
had seemed lucky beginning. The
out-of-town opening OF The Big Pond
was enough to prove conclusively that
Miss Hepburn lacked the experience to
sustain SO big a part as that in which
she was appearing, and she was given
her notice.
She next got job with Arthur Hop
kins. appearing in tiny part in These
Days" which was rather a dire failure.
But with the closing of this play she
was transferred to Philip Barrys "Hol-
iday." in which she understudied Hope
Williams. She never did play the part
on Broadway. but this served to intro
duce her to Mr. Barry, who decided that
she was promising youngster and that
one day he would like to do something
for her.
with the closing of Holiday" she
went of for Summer in Europe, SAIL
ing steerage, and almost literally bum
ming her way around the continent with
companion.
The next season she bobbed up In the
cast of Death Takes Holiday" once
more rehearsing for a. lead. But again
she proved too inexperienced and was
dismissed during the out-of-town stages
of the production. BY this time a good
deal Of her courage had evaporated and
size accepted minute bit In "A Month
in the Country" which also included
an understudy.
After this she was once more given a
big chance. She was chosen for the lead
ing ingenue role In Benn Levy's "Art
and Mrs. Bottle" in which Jane Cowl
was to star. But again she was dis
missed. This time, however, the reason
was less lack Of experience than q
private conviction of the author that
she was not quite the type he wanted.
A week after his dismissal she was re-
instated at the insistence of Miss Cowl,
who had observed signs OF talent in
her, and when the play opened Miss
Cowi very nearly had to share critical
honors with Miss Hepburn.
During these years Miss Hepburn had
also been busy working in Summer
stock companies at Stockbridge, Mass,

Bitter Sweet Tomorrow.

AN OCCASION of great interest to
local theatergoers will be the pres
entation by the Messrs. Shubert Of Noel
Coward's glorious musical romance,
Bitter Sweet" at the National Theater,
beginning tomorrow night.
Bitter Sweet" was written and COM
posed by Noel Coward, who Is famous
alike as playwright, composer. producer
and actor, and whose recent motion
picture success, "Cavalcade," has been
the sensation OF the world. Bitter
Sweet" also has the distinction OF being
the only work Of other than American
origin that the late Florenz ziegfeld
ever presented.
The very name, "Bitter Sweet" sug-
gests the character of the story revealed
in dramatic action upon the stage to
the accompaniment OF Coward's melo-
dies. It Is the story told by the Mar
chioness of Shayne as she advises Dolly
Chamberlain, who faces the dilemma Of
being engaged to one man and being in
love with another That story ranges
through more than half a century Al
though 1t is laid in the fashionable
London of today, as the tale is told,
there are "cut-backs" to the London of
1875 and the gay "90's" and to the
Vienna of 1880.
The notable cast Of Bitter Sweet"
has such well known artists as Allan
Jones. Margaret Carlisle, Leonard Gee
ley, Berna Deane, Hope Emerson, Larry
Rich. Harry K Morton, Mary Starner
and Frank Horn. There is also chorus
Of girls gowned in the costumes Of an

Entnuslasm, they say, Is q species Of

fiation. to control. Still, dismiss pru-
ience from my caligraph and write that
the azure Mr.. Hull's Characterization of
Jeeter Lester, half-man, half-monkey
in Tobacco Road" is as perfect a feat
Of acting as I have seen in 40 years of
critical playgoing. can remember
Booth as Hamlet. Modjeska as Ophelia.
Jefferson as Bob Acres, Marlowe as
Juliet. Mansfield as Doctor Jekyll and
Mr.. Hyde and Cohan as the perplexed
father in "Ah. Wilderness" All of
these are traditional masterpieces, but
my guess Is that they don't belong with
Mr.. Hull's relentless impersonation of
the squalid and lazy dust-eater of "To-
bacco Road"
The play, incidentally, is competent
adaptation by Jack Kirkland of a grim
novel Of the sunless South by Erskine
Caldwell. It is not a pretty thing. and
it should not be patronized by delicate
drama-loyers. Even I, a callous amuse-
ment-seeker, found some of its carnal
incidents embarrassing. But in case
you are interested in the art OF acting,
1 advise you to see Mr.. Hull in his
wonderful Transformation. His thorough
representation and that of a mime

An Historical Career

and at Ivoryton, Conn, rolling UP ex-
perience for herself.
In the Summer of 1881 Philip Barry
had finished his play, THE Animal
Kingdom" which he had written pri-
marily for Leslie Howard, but into
which he had also written a leading
part for Miss Hepburn. Through all
that Summer and Fall she cherished
the script and studied the part, and in
the late Fall she began rehearsing. On
the seventh day she received a curt
notice of dismissal. 1t was deeper dis
couragement than she admitted to any
one. but she Immediately accepted a
part in The Warriors Husband" and
plunged into the work of rehearsing.
She emerged from the opening night
with a reputation as one of Broadway's
promising leading women, and motion
picture tests soon followed. The rest
is, to coin new phrase, history.
