A Word or Two Regarding
One of Our Stock PLAYERS
The Theater-Going World, According to This
Writer, Awaits Her Big Chance on Broadway
Weekly Plays Are Splendid Training
By E. de S. Melcher.

ter-box lady in Grounds for Di-
vorce," to the nicely spoken
heroine of "Good-by Again" to the
mad, mad Judith Bliss of HAY
Fever" fame, with unfaultering
zeal. More. than that, she has
grown in charm, increased In
power and gone from one emotion
to another with grace that when
you look back upon it is almost
appalling.
What, now, is her best me-
dium?
It is hard to say. Personally
we found her at her incest in
"Good-by Again." She proved in
this that it isn't necessary for
her to be deep in costumes" in
order to be stimulating. It
wouldn't be fair to say that the
less she says the better she is, but
in this play she certainly accom-
plished more with her eyes and
manner than she did (through
the fault of the play as the hun
dred-mile-an-hour divorce in the
Ina Claire play.
Miss Powers is an example of
an actress who has gone far and
been given everything except the
cheers of Broadway, which she
deserves. You will find no more
popular actress in Washington, or
in any of the other cities in which
she has played. Her knowledge of
the theater's tricks are legion.
Any student who is devoted to the
drama should watch, for instance,
the expresSiveneSS of her hands
always vital matter in an
actress stock and trade) and the
way in which they make some
small, trite little emotion seem
to swell with importance. Miss
Powers knows the Importance not
only of being earnest, but also Of
tucking in her sails and minimiZ-
ing her actions, when a little
action will mean more than a
lot. She speaks with a dot in
stead of a dash, and she can pro-
duce a tear with a smile when
other actresses would have to
trll on their most violent emo
ton for the same effect.
It is hard to say wherein Miss
Powers shines more than others.
1t is the way of the theater, that's
all-that what is least obvious is
most effective. 1t is the loud
explosive creations of the stage
which you see and forget. It is
the little sensitive things which
you think you don't see-and then
remember. Miss Powers has that
SensitiveneSS and that delicacy
and that grace which few of her
sisters in art have. She is very
great asset in a season Of stock
which is becoming more and more
important as it goes along.

Silent Film Finished.

THE much-discussed Sergei Eisenstein
film, Thunder Over Mexico" which

The world premier of the picture win
be held in Los Angeles to be followed
by New York engagement and this In
turn by 20 key cities through the United
States. With the picture launched in
this country Sol Lesser will take the
film to Mexico City and there start the
picture on what is hoped to be world
tour. As the picture Is entirely silent,
the first since Charles Chaplin's "City
Lights" 1t needs but a change in the
20-odd titles which are scattered
throughout the film.

=" "-George Jean Nathan
in "Since IbSen."
THEATER followers, as in the
case of the critics whom
i Mr.. Nathan takes objection
to, are often high-hat
when it comes to the matter of
"stock." The word to some con-
notes an insinuation of below-par
value in theater offerings. Those
sophistically gifted persons who
60 only to the theater when they
may see LuntS and FontanneS and
Cornells and Hayes in action, and
who never let themselves go ex-
cept at a play which has been
approved by the intelligentSia,
often miss some of the choicest
and incest theater blessings that
there are.
A stock actress, an actress who
knows the ropes, who has trav-
eled here and there and every
where, is likely to know more
about the theater than a Broad
way flower who has burst SenSa-
tionally into full-glory fame. The
latter may be a fiery brand, full
of actions which are first rate and
looks that are dazzling; she may
Slouch and crouch and heave and
roar with the best of them. She
may roll her eyes until you are
crazy, and drive you into mad,
bad insanity by the potency of her
art. But she isn't, necessarily, the
only prodigy that the theater has
to offer.
There are actresses floating
about in the by-ways of our coun-
try who are quite as good, if not
better, than many of Broadway'S
popular idols. Reasons why they
may or may not have stirred New
York to a fever pitch are many
and obvious. Either they have
not walked in at the right mo-
ment, and had to walk out again
before opportunity came (the rea-
son being that they were so much
in demand in the provinces" that
they preferred to work and eat
rather than Starve while waiting
for "fame") or they have become
so firmly intrenched in communi-
ties which are fond of them, that
it has been difficult for them to
break away.
1t is a fact, however, that the
best of these hinterland people
are giving better theater to larger
communities than you might
think-and that in these stock
companies opportunity comes to
them when you and they least
expect 1t.
WE have in our midst at this
wv minute a lady who Is very
good actreSs-Who comes, in fact,
near to being great actress,
While she has not made herself
known to Broadway as a Mrs.
Fiske or a Madge Kennedy, she
has qualities which are extraor-
dinarily akin to them-and If
properly launched we are sure she
would win the cheers OF Broad
ways best.
Leona Powers is a lady of very
great charm and infinite talent.
She has one fault-the fault OF
speaking too fast, of rushing her
words and hence sliding over
them, when she gets excited. This,
however, Is such a little fault,
such a molehill alongside the
mountain of her other abilities,
that after you have gotten over
it, and after she has conquered
it, it is easily and completely for
gotten.
Miss Powers has, particularly
this season with the National
Players, proven herself an actress
worth writing home about. She
has veered from a small, silly role

Helen Wills Moody's loss of her first tennis set in six years to Dorothy Edith Round of England in the finals of the Wimbledon championships may have been due | largely to the unfortunate incident of the .linesmen in calling a de- cisive point against her, but the detailed analysis we have just re- ceived from London shows a rela- lively close match all the way. | Mrs. Moodys margin in games was IS to Is, but she scored only 20 more points that Miss Round in the three sets. The baseline charac- ter 'of the American stars game is reflected by the fact that while Miss Rounds winning strokes (ace and oplacements) were considerably greater, 31 to 10 in the second set and l8 to Il in the third, Mrs. | Moody made only half as many errors Cnets' and "outs'o.
 Miss Round won 12 and lost four service games while Mrs. Moody won IA and lost three. There were IA deuce games, including seven in the second set, but all four of the love" games were won by the American.
 During the seven times Mrs. Moody has entered for the singles championship at Wimbledon" notes British commentator, she has lost altogether 165 games. Mile. Lenglen, in her eight years of con- petition, lost 10l games, but in two of those years, 1920 and 1921, Suzanne as the titleholder did not play through, competing only in the challenge match. Mile.
