The meeting of the Woman's club which was held last Tuesday in the Camp street school was a most suc- cessful one as it was well attended and the program delightful, The entertainment which was ar- vanged by the club dramatlec commit. tee under the direction of Mrs, Clar- enee Bennett consisted of musie and @ one act comedy, Miss Sylvia Glad- ding Alderson who was accompanied on the plano by Mrs, Algernon Brown Alderson, was the soloist and her| charming selections were greatly ap- preciated The play, "Tickless Time," in one act, by Susan Qlaspell, ‘was one which the Provincetown Plavers gave In New York in 1918, Miss Edna St. Vincent Millay, the famous poetess, playing one of the parts, The cast of Tues- day's presentation did credit to the ro'es of the play, making a very fin- thed production, The scene of the play is lald in a garden in historic Provincetown where the cast presents the amazing tale of “Tickless Time™ and where Ian Joyce, who was admirably portrayed by Miss Mabel Hibbard, tries to win over his wife and friends to the virtues of the sundlal, “a part of the longwinding rond to truth.” Eloise Joyce, his wife, whom Mrs, Winifred S. Galpin of Berlin delineated in a most captivat- tng and winning way, is his enthusi- astic admirer and between them they bury the clocks deciding to live by the truth. This leads to complications, however, when friends, Eddy Knight and Mrs, I2ddy Knight, parts splendid- ly taken by Mrs. Elizabeth Wessell and Mrs. Norma Sloper, find their wodding present, a cholee cuckoo clock submerged in dirt and when Annie, the cook, a part well assumed by Mrs. Elizabeth W. Cooper, decides to leave, having no clock to cook by. It is Mrs. Stubbs, a Provincetown native, whose excellent portrayal was due to the good work of Mrs. Lilllan Kirkham, who finally solves the problems, and relnstated peace. by declaring, “let them that want sun time have sun time and them that want clock time have clock time.” The entire:cast held an’ informal zeception affer the play and were the recipients of*4many compliments and congratulations upon their work from their appreciative audience. Tea was served to the club members and their guests. | On Wednesday evening the cast re- peated the production for the benefit of the Children’s Home and, in spite of the inclement weathen conditions a good sum was realized, amounting to $104.60. “ s r Mrs. H.

Several local members | speaking of NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, SATURDAY, JANUARY 14, 1922, Another Royal Bride Announcement of the engager mania to King Alexander of Jugo-Slavia is the fourth internation- al match of royalty in recent months. mania and Greece, Belgium and Slavia are linked by the recent or forthcoming marriages. ement of Princebs Marie of Ru- England and Holland, Ru- Italy and Rumania and Jugo- did not seem to let me out, T said I would speak on ‘Behind the Scenes'.” The speaker proceeded fo advise his hearcrs never to go behind the scenes of the theater if they could help it. He described the details of this *‘land of disillusionment” in his humorous way, telling of the thin legs of the poor young men who, lying on their backs, hidden from the sight of the spectators, kicked with their feet over their heads to make the canvas bil- lows of the sea in 3en Hur” seem realistic. Illustrating his point, Mr. Woollcott narrated the tale of how Charles Han- son Towne, noted American poet, had longed for twenty years to meet Mrs, Iviske, the famous actress, but had been unable to do so. One evening Mrs. Fiske appeared at a war benefit performance. Mr. Towne, a member of the benefit committee, stood in the wings at the side of the stage where the electrician is posted. At the end of Mrs. ke's recitation, Mr. Towne stepped forward as she left the stage, greeted her, and poured forth from his poetic hegrt the admiration he had felt for her and her ability for $0 many years. When ¢he ceased, after ten minutes of such fervent or- atory, Mrs. Iiske remarked sweetly: “Thank you—thank you so much, Mr. Electrician.” Mr. Towne blushes to- day when addressed as Mr. Ilectric- ian. But to take his hearers behind the actual scenes of the stage was not Mr. Woollcott's avowed purpose, he declared. It was his desire to tell of the stories that lay back of the writ- ing or the presenting of some of the plays of the hour with the belief that were those tales, sometimes of trag- edy, sometimes of sentiment, some- times of dire need, but known to the audience, the valne and the enjoy- ment of the ‘play would be multiplied many times. Mr. Woollcott told the story of the coming together of J. M. Barrie and | Maude Adams—a long tale of the struggling young Scotch playwright and the almost unknown actress; how Barrie had refused to dramatize *“The Little Minister” until one day, through a chance sight of Miss Adams in “Rosemary,” he saw for the first time the actress who was, in fact, his ideal of the lady ‘“Babbie” of the story. The tale back of “Alias Jimmy Val- entine” brought out how attempts had been made to get O. Henry to write a play; how nothing would induce him to dd so; how he had written a little | story which had contained in a marked degree the dramatic quality characteristic of all O. Henry's stories, and how that story had been handed to Paul Armstrong by a pro- ducer with the urgent request that he write a play from it as quickly as pos- sible. 1t was done in a week and produced twelve weeks thereafter. | IFrom it O. Henry received nothing| more than the $500 given him for the | dramatic rights, but Armstrong re- celved over $75,000. The most affecting story “back of | the achievements” of the stage, told| by Mr. Woollcott, was that of Iranc| Craven, author of “The Kirst Year.” Craven had been without work, in hard luck, for a long time. He had been making daily visits in New York to his mother, dying slowly in a hotel, | from one of the windows of which | she and her son could look down upon | the theater in which Craven later made his first great hit as the $14 a week shipping clerk in “Bought and | Paid For.” They used to talk there by that window, mother and son, the day when the son would be a star—the son who, despite his apparent happiness at the mo- ment, was in great distress of mind. Craven had at last found a pro- ducer who would present a play for him. He had written two acts of the piece and had taken it to the pro- ducer at midnight. “Are you going to write the other act?” was the man's query, showing his conviction that there was little need of so doing. The discouraged Craven returned dejected- ly to his poor room. He tore to bits the two acts over which he had labor- ed. And then, to his anxious, dis- couraged mind, had come the vision of the little New England town where | he had grown up. He saw again the quaintly-humorous people, kind and sympathetic, but plain every day folk who did the same thing week after week, year after year, sald the same thing hour after hour, thought the same thoughts year in and year out. The young man's brain conjured up agaln the little eccentricities of these people and in them he recognized the possibilities of a great comedy. In the early morning light he wrote the first act of “The Last Year,” a tale the theme of which is to show that the first twelve months of married life are the most difficult of all. Then he wrote the rest of the play which, in the opinion of Mr. Woolcott, ac- complishes what the American play- wright has been attempting for®last twenty-five years—what the American stage has been striving for in that period of a quarter of a century. The human stories of the things which lie back of the achievements of the stage as stold by Mr. Woollcott | may be but indicated here. His many illustrations and the dramatic man- ner in which he presented them to his hearers require a personality such as he possessed to bring the effect he wrought. His address left his inter- ested, appreciative hearers with the keen desire to look for and believe in the existence of some great true tale of human emotions hidden behind the play they might see with more un- derstanding eyes were such tale to be known to them. Miss Mildred Meisner daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Meisner of Worthington Ridge, Berlin, a student at the New York school of Fine and Applied Arts, will sail February 18th for a year in Parls, the result of her having been awarded a scholarship| at the school. Miss Meisner has| shown considerable talent in art, hav- ing made a specialty of interior dec- orating at the New York school. This recognition of her ability will be pleasing to her many frlends. She graduated from the New Britain High school, class of ’18, and since that time has lived with her parents, going Y last fall for the first term in art. * e The first of a winter series of sup- per dances arranged for the Shuttle Meadow club will be held this evening at the club house. Dancing will start at 8 o'clock and supper will be served at 11:15. The roads to the club House have been broken with the club plow so that no difficulty should be en- countered by machines in making the trip. .. An innovation in local circles was attempted last Tuesday evening at the Shuttle Meadow club skating rink when an ice carnival, with music for the skaters was held. The form of entertainment proved highly popular, judging from the number who at- tended. The lights above the pond were covered with paper lanterns, which, coupled with the light of the moon, furnjshed an attractive lighting effect. I'res at intervals along the bank of the pond gave comfort to the skaters and those who were looking| on. Several events in which the entire crowd took part, such as “follow the were held and ffee and sandwiches were served in the shelter, M The first public performance of the Amphion Dramatie club of the Senior High school this year was given in the school auditorium last evening Two one-act sketehes, namely “Wher Rut In Ameriea” and “The Coppe Pot" were glhen, The first play was well presented y the high school students, Kspe ally Is this true of the pantomime scene between Mrs, Espenhayne (Ver nah Wright) and Mr, Espenhayne (Dwight Latham.,) In this bit of work, Mr, Latham proved his ability as an amateur actor, The comedy honors of the play fell to Astrid An- derson in the role of Hilda, a Swedish mald. Although this is Miss Ander son's firat appearance in a dramatic production at the High school, she proved a declded hit, The big play of the evening was “The Copper Pot” by Frances Healey, Mervin McCutcheon, also a new comer to the club, was seen to good advantage in the role of Rascn. He has a pleasing volce which carries well and could be heard distinetly in all parts of the auditorfum. Paul 1aicas, as Abdallah, the generous, was good and well suited'in the character he portrayed. Jeanette Light, Robina Blair and Viola Sowka added much to the play in their form of dancing This was given under the direction of Miss Dorothy Sihley, physical direc- tor. The feature of the last sketch was the scenery which was that of a street and sidewalk in an Arab vil- lage. The lighting effects were ex ceptionally good for an amateur pro- duction. The two plays were produc- ed under the personal direction of Mrs. A. C. Guilford, Music before and during the shows was played by the High school orchestra, George B. Mathews, musical director.
