acquired QuIulR LllS ycdTH-hIlQ no
longer captured that mood Of youth
full naturalness and tranquility which
made her early work so essentially
outstanding.
And If we are to believe that youth
is not to be considered with the really
great performances Of any era, then
we are to forget Helen Hayes when
she first appeared in "Coquette";; this
seasons brilliant performance Of Louis
Haywood in Point Valaine"; Burgess
Meredith's uncanny acting in Flow
ers of the Forest; Edith Barrett as
the first Mrs. Moonlight; Katharine
Cornell when she was playing Can
dida'; Jeanne Eagles when she started
out on that amazing run Of RAIN"
and Tallulah Bankhead when she first
da2zled Londoners with a series of
portraits that have never been dupli-
Gated over here.
IF THEN we turn over the pages and
get to the screen. what do we
flnd? At this minute, In support Of
Miss LIE Gallienne's argument, we have
living evidences volunteered by Victor
McLaglen's brilliant portrait of King
Gypo in 1.-THE Informer"; we find
Charles Laughton and Frederick
March, probably just starting out on
their second 10year span, and we
find the George Arlisses and the Paul
NUNS, who are breaking record after
record with every new performance.
Yet youth must be served-and
Hollywood is doing a good job of 1t. II
we have to wait until Shirley Temple
gets to be 35, then we prefer not to
wait at all. II audiences really believe
that Katharine Hepburn is not an act
ress because she is under age de Gal
lienne age), then we throw up the
sponge. If Margaret SULLIVAN in only
Yesterday" didn't do a job that ranks
with the important performances of
any year, then we throw up the sponge
again.
How is 1t possible to compare mid
die age with youth? There Is need,
there is hope, there Is beauty in both.
The theory that you must be over 20
before you should tackle Juliet Is now
pretty well exploded. No one exploded
it more neatly than did Miss Le Gal
lienne herself last year. Good acting
cannot be measured by years. Expert
ence, usually necessary quantity,
may sometimes be sidestepped by an
early genius which comes when least
expected. Although it is probably
necessary to study Mr.. Shakespeare
until his words come trippingly from
the tongue, there is no reason to sup
pose that a young actor may not be
splendid In other roles-as, shall we
say, Miss MCGEE is in her unhelievably
believable study of that wretched little |
girl in THE Children's Hour"
It seems wrong for Miss LIE Gallienne
thus to shuttle youth out Of mind
wrong for her to lambast those years |
out Of which she has only just sprung
wrong for the young to believe that |
they will be great only when they have
begun to climb into long boards. There
is nothing like the present, nothing
like the past and nothing like the |
future. But there is no reason to |
suppose that any one Of these three
can hog the best Of anything.

leading women, Miss lie Gallienne Is
now 50, her record eloquent testi-
niony OF her capabilities. In addition
to her success as an actress she Is
the guiding directress of the Civic
Repertory Theater.
You must get over your fetish
for YOUTH she argued to one audi
ence, If you really want to see fine
acting on this side of the Atlantic
1t Is only in the second 10 years of
his career that the actor really begins
to act"
THE pros and cons in this affair
should be both interesting and
violent. After having witnessed such
a youngster as Florence MCGEE, the
despicable brat in The Children's
Hour" it Is not easy to assume that
greatness comes only with the year
36. Nor can We say the same If we
think In terms Of the cinema, How
ever, when we recall that our Jane
Cowk, our Elizabeth Bergners, our
Philip Merivales, our Helen Hayes
and our Katharine Cornells are all
hovering around the second 10 years
of his or her career" Gin some cases
more), then it is easy to join Miss
lie Galliennes argument and put the
skids on the youth movement.
Were 1t not for youth, however,
we should not have old age in the
theater. The training-the long, Bit
ter training that develops the young
players the only way that these
same players can grow gracefully old
on the stage. To see, for instance,
Grace George today playing a hand
some old lady In Kind Lady" a play
full Of thunder and gangsterS and
violence, and one in which she re-
wives much of the beauty that was
hers many years ago, is to realize
that here is grace, here Is charm,
here Is talent which has developed
out Of the hard work of yesterday.
Here Is not the player who has let
youth slip by heedlessly. Here Is
that certain perfection and mellow
ness which comes only with later
years.
WE ARE, however, inclined to
agree with Stella Adler, men,
Der Of the weIl-known Jewish acting
family (now appearing in Awake and
Sing") who in Mr.. Barron's report
says: II wish I was a child actress.
And I wish I was as good now as
] was then. Look at all these kids
In our troupe. They are finished
performers. Nobody should catalogue
actors by years. Some are good from
the cradle. Some are never any
good"
II Miss lie Gallienne really believes
that good acting comes only after IS.
then she must believe that she was
better as "L'Aiglon" this season than
she was many years ago when she
played Julie In 'Lilliom." At the risk
Of breaking her heart, and perhaps
other peoples, we should like to deny
that. While she was undoubtedly In
teresting in her Characterization of
the young Eaglet, while she brought to
1t q certain power, majesty and au-
thority. she also brought to It certain
definite mannerisms which she has

BUFFALO, Dec. 20 GN.sJ.
Here's a new tale of two cities
and a couple Of yeggs who
realized the value of modern
advertising and utilized that
realization to profit by $500.
The safe of the Ripley Feed
& Coal Company at Ripley, N.
Y, is missing. In addition to
the cash, it contained valuable
records. Rather than blow the
strong-box open. the yeggs left a
note saying they had carted it
away, but would report its
whereabouts and return any re-
cords wanted if the company
would reveal the combination of
theasafe in Buffalo paper.
The company's answer appeared
in the paper today. 1t said:
aTurn left, stop on 35: turn
right past IS twice, stop on
49, Turn left past 40 once,
stop on 10. Turn right and
stop on TO-"
Now the company wants the
yeggs to keep their promise.
