Shortly before the Spanish civil

Pillar says. II don't know how to

From Spain, Pillar went to France

But Not Word About That Tank Myster
R. H. Burnside longtime Charles Dillingham; Associate
Won't Give Away Old Hippodrome's Secrets

NEW YORK.
Not a play new to write-or
erumble - about Such was the
happy state of the theater last week.
A reminder that once upon time
plays we're not only plentiful but
good is given by R. H. Burnside,
veteran producer. author, manager
of more than 200 plays, for a long
time the associate of the late Charles
Dillingham;, and now in charge OF
the Boston Comic Opera Company.
The idea behind my present
organization" Mr.. Burnside,
courtly gentleman of the old school
states, lis to have a permanent
Gilbert and Sullivan repertoire"
The company was named after
the "Bostonians, an opera company
managed by Burnside many, many
years ago. The group already has
appeared in Boston, Providence, New
Haven, Baltimore, Buffalo, Cleve-
land Philadelphia and New York.
The tour will be resumed in Septem-
ber in Chicago, covering the entire
circuit and returning to New York
next spring.
But the past is uppermost IN our
conversation. l want to learn the
behind-scenes story of the w. c.
Fields incident of 1915 when he was
brought all the way from South
Africa to appear in the Dillingham;
burnside show watch Your Step"
and removed from the cast after
one performance.
She Didn't Talk.
Then there is the still unsolved
mystery of how the Hippodrome
girls were able, without drowning,
to walk into the huge tank on the
enormous stage, and disappear. And
there is also a story of a certain
half crown given to Burnside by the
late King Edward VII when he was
Prince of Wales. And still greater
mystery. What does the H In
the producers initials stand for?
THAT was something Dillingham;
wanted to know all his life, and
never found out" laughs Burnside
who swears that the R. H. means
"Roughhouse. "Once when 1 was
In Europe he called my wife and said
he had to know for legal reasons
what the H meant. But she was on
to him and said she didn't know" "
Mrs. Burnside died two years ago
after 80 years of devoted married
life.
Il am not allowed to explain the
Hippodrome tank mysSry,' says the
producer who stage-managed most
of the colorful shows at the famous
old theater. I went to the Hippo
drome as stage director in 1908. And
we first used the tank in 1909 in
q show called "A Trip to Japan.
At that time We had "a girls come
up onto the stage out of the tank.
Later we reversed it and had the
girls walk into the tank and disap-
pear. Later we used as many as
96 girls
The Hippodrome witnessed much
fancy swimming and diving. An
nette Kellerman was starred in a
swimming epic, and the chorus girls
thought nothing of diving into the
tank from a platform "a or 80 feet
high.

dance I wait for curtain, but ees
no curtain!"
Pillar probably doesn't know she
had an anonymous champion her
opening night who must get q bit
of credit for the f1attering attention
her dancing received.
And There Was Quiet.
A garrulous group kept chattering
at the bar as her dance began, and
an outraged citizen interrupted:
Shut up, you mugs! The little
lady is an artist, see? I don't want
to hear no more loud talk. You
amt at Minsky's."
And so there was quiet.
Just for luck, Pillar wore a yellow
costume that night because her
greatest successes have come when
she wore yellow, a color many the
ater people consider bad luck.
AS each of her dances must have
the proper costume to be authentic,
she has some so costumes costing
up to $400 each.
OF all her dances, Pillars favorlte
is the Algerreas, gypsy dance not
quite so restrained as most of her
repertoire.
She began dancing as a child in
San Sebastian, Spain, with her sis
ter, the more publicized La Argen-
tinita.
But Her Dances Are Warm.
Papa Lopez, a cloth merchant, was
an amateur guitarist, and he would
strum lively tunes while his children
danced for the neighbors. Often he
would take them to the theater to
see the more noted Spanish dancers
and their professional technique.
Sometimes the girls danced in the
Madrid cafes.
"Eet ees cold land where I was
born," Pillar says, but my heart and
dances, they are warm"
At the age Of II Pillar was launched
as a professional dancer, and had

In any season during which three
plays are produced, no matter how
inferior they may be, there is a
best" That is to say. one Of the
lot is not as bad as the others. a
pitiable sort of distinction, but dis
tinction, nonetheleSs.
This, sad to report, has been that
kind Of season. And one of the
saddest reflections of that fact is
the likelihood that those who select
prize plays are likely to shrug their
shoulders and forget the whole
thing. That will be ignoring the
undoubted truth that one of the
plays perhaps has been better than
the others, but it will recognize the
correlative one that none of them is
worthy of being ranked with plays
which have honorably won the prize
in other years. The best play

Kaufman. Edna Ferber, Clifford
Odets, Marc Connolly and others,
have tried and failed, and If the
judges conclude they had better just
forget 1912 they would be in an
easily defensible position. To do
otherwise would leave them in the
position of selecting the least often

odors-a Job that not even play
Judge could be condemned for
avoiding.

The likelihood that the entire
crop of drama will be snubbed this

Pillar was pretty dubious at first
about the reaction of night club

hands and feet.
But after her first appearance at

is currently dancing, the doubts
were washed away.
