Iplay. She became the theater to IA
that night, and we simply never got
over the feeling that meeting her
would be an experience in gaucherie
that would be unpleasant, like find-
ing oneself In the Vatican wearing q
tan polo shirt, or going to the White
House under the impression that
Calvin Coolidge was still head man.
We simply could not bring our
selves to face Miss Barrymore.
Well, now we not only have faced
her, we even felt we were playing
opposite her in doing so, and the
experience was one of tfle easiest
and most pleasant of our life. It
was also the most unexpected thing
that even happened to us.
II happened yesterday at the Ma
tional Theater, New York's, not
Washington's.
We were back stage, talking to
Theresa Helburn, Lawrence Langner
and AL Tamarin of the Theater
Guild. It was just before the surtain
went up on "Embezzled Heaven"
and the wings were crowded with
actors, Guild representatives, stage
hands, electricians, prop men and
props. Above all, with props, which
are uncounted In "Embezzled
Heaven" The Guild people to whom
we were talking are very interesting
characters and easily hold ones at
tention. They held it so well on this
occasion that we suddenly were
within feet of Miss Barrymore
before we realized it or had time to
feel an impulse to run.
Hello" the Guild people said to
Miss Barrymore.
Hello" Miss Barrymore said to
the Guild people
We just stood there, the old pa
ralysls upon us, but worse than it
ever had been.
You didn't speak to Miss Barry
more said Miss Helburn, looking at
us with her mild. refined surprise.

we blurted. I'VE are afraid of Miss
Barrymore. We are not afraid of
Helen Hayes, or Katharine Cornell,
and we even call Tallulah Bankhead
by her first name. We are not even
afraid of George Dixon. but we are
afraid of Miss Barrymore.
X
Miss Helburn said pooh" or
something like pooh" and started
following Miss Barrymore through
the wings toward the stage, calling
after her. The nearest exit back
stage is not marked as well as it
Is out in the theater, so we had no
notion of where it was. There was
nothing to do but follow Miss Hell
burn, very encouraging leader in
such catastrophe moment. We
followed her right out onto the stage
where, in a few seconds, Miss Barry
more was to be ready for the rise of
the curtain and her impersonationl
of Teta in "Embezzled Heaven"
Teta as those who saw the play will
remember Is a peasant cook and Miss
Barrymore naturally was dressed
for the role, but no one ever
looked more awesomely like a queen.
Nor, for that matter, did any one
ever feel more like a jackal than
We did.
Miss Helburn said the words of an
Miss Barrymore smiled
and acknowledged it.
We heard something that sounded
strangely like our voice saying:
I'VE always wanted to met you, but
you were our introduction to the
theater, and it left us afraid of YOU. ri
