It is not consid- | | | | | ered likely that Otis Skinner’s new | play, “Captain Fury,” will enjoy this distinction here in future seasons. Mr. Skinner has availed himself of an eminent star’s privilege to select his own material, and if 1 this case | it does not prove conspicuously in line with the taste of audiences it can be dismissed with no great harm, | A great actor fortunate in the fact that he is estimated among his admirers only by his successes. The reputations of the good authors are absorbed into his awn. The less ef- iective ones keep the public away irom the theater, and the player is seen in disadvantage by only a small proportion of his admirers is New Year weck repeated the his tory of Christmas week, most of the business of the theater being con- centrated on the last two days Plaver folk used to make a great deal of Christmas. Special cditions | were gotten out by the publications devoted to the stage, and in these actors delighted to hecome novelists | and historians in brief, as well as poets. Every town had theatrical correspondents, who conscientiously sent reports of cach Monday night opening to the theatrical wecklies which retained them; and almost in- | variably business was reported good | and the play a success. John Ward, who represented the Clipper and the Mirror here, has a voluminous file of | these old publications, which reveal a | | fascinating riot of the literary skill <o superabundant then in the the- ater that those who took in hand the work of organizing production could scarcely be blamed for not foresee- ing its present dearth. A wilderness of ideas has heen deforested, and good material must now he mostly | imported at an annually increasing | expense to the consumer. | These no wonder that the Christ.nas sentiument is strong among the player folk., many of them sep- arated from homes by many miles: cager in effort for mutual cheer in hours that might seem especially | lonely upon a holiday. In this file of dramatic publications are manv references to an actor better known rere as a citizen than as the Shake- | carean star of whom an agent for | P.T. Rarnum once said: “I am zlad Charles B. Hanford doesn’t play | Texas in the Summer; he'd sweep up all the money in the State hefore | we got there: or if he followed us thev'd save it up for him.” Perhaps the most remarkable Christmas gift ever known by a player was enjoyed | | by Hanford a week ago. After leay- 1ing the stage he had been active in | coaching speakers and members of | <ocicties engaged in ritualistic work. | [He entered upon these lines of ac- | [ tivity with characteristic pleasure | jand enthusiasm On Christmas eve, 11924, he found in dismay that his | voice had deserted him He waited |in hope of its recovery, secured med- [ical attention, but found that he | could not make himself audible even { to the extent of a whisper. He suc- ceeded in readjusting himsclf to this | new condition, which left him so en- [ tirely apart from his old customs {and interests. About 3 o'clock last | Christmas morning he awoke and | sghed audibly. He then repeated | his telephone mimber, the first thing | | that came to mind, and called to his | | wife, I believe T am_talking.” He | then repeated the Lord's prayer | | without a break. The most of Christmas day he spent in calling up | old friends hy phone and receiving their heartfelt congratulations.

LY STARR of George White's Scandals,” 1s 18 yvears of age and despite her vouth, bears the distinc: tlon. of being the greatest dancing in- structor in America. One of the most ever staged in a revue ton finale in George White's “Scan- dals” Every one of the £ young women employed in the spectacie was instrueted how {0 do the dance by Miss Starr. She also rehearsed the Al difficult numbers 5 the Charles- entire number, under the personal ipervision of Mr. White. Miss Starr is a native of Pittsburgh, and has only heen on the stage sons, both of which have been with “Scandals.” She recently received a flattering offer from the management of the Casino de Paris to stage a Charleston number for a Parisian revue which is to be pro- duced in June. Owing to a previous contract with Mr. White, Mi Starr was forced to decline to accept the French engagement Recipe for Screen Comedy MIF any one asked me the recipe for making successful comedies,” says Johnny Hines, “1 would say that the two most important requisites are pace and comic situations, and that goes for the stage as well as the screen. “While comic situations are most important, pace 1s also a most neces- sary requisite, for comic sequences that are not bolstered up by action usually fall as flat as the proverbial pancake. Just as the race horse who an set a pace wins in a driving finish, b the screen comedian who starts off h a bang and continues it right rough until the final fade-out. pu: over his object and wins in a canter Roth are indispensable to the stage or screen comedian.

The Avenue playhouse is declared to be now one of the most beautiful in Washington.
