ERHAPS I shouldn't say azything about Mr, Collicr’s clothes, But, as you seo him pictured here in all the glory of frock coat and white waistcoat and tall hat, you may wonder, as i did, whother this sar- ra torial splendor was his way of rising to of th ity of a Frohman star or of Iiving up to the ‘TF® tyeness of William, . hardly prepared for anything so imposing. ii TNL A cy : ca en i Qo mone very nice and nent in a spring sult—the kind “Willie” Collier used to wear with more easy, graceful style than any ono along Broadway. “Why, oh why?" I wanted to ask him, but of course I couldn't, I mercly grieved in spirit and silently prayed that William wouldn't’talk as he dressed, | Lai You may recall “Impersonal,” “Are You Any Rela- tive of Mine?’ and “Managers and Thoir Moneyy" (Whenever Mr, Collier does he lights a fresh cigar- ette or moans in his sleep.) But that drawn look about the mouth {s gone now that “The Dictator’ has placed Mr, Collier on his feet and started him on a surely successful run at the Criterion. He forgot the past; he even forgot his “Willinm’ clothes, and he laughed like the “Willie” of Madison Square days as ho repeated the question, “I feel," he answered, with Joy dancing on his face, ‘Mike a boy who after belng shut up in echool for jy I had rather looked forward to something Hi a Hi Ih i Ig om WalarS after a hard winter, ‘There are lots of hard-luck stories to be told of this season, but if any magazine is thinking of getting up a prize competition I want to declare myself in for first money, They got #0 they called us “The Wille Coliler Stock Company,’ you remember.

For that reason, I don’t think I should be able to succeed in a Clyde Fitoh play.. If a bit of ‘business’ suggests itself I want it introduced. Good ‘business’ always gots good laughs,” “Do you consider good ‘business’ of more laugh- getting value than good lines?” “Yes” was the frank reply—for above all else Colller 1s frank—"to my mind that's the quickest and best way to get laughs.

When she did so, I picked it up, brandished it when Campos drew his sword on me, and saluted the lieutenant with {t when the marines arrived. Result—two laughs, One lasted nearly ten seconds, You sometimes hear a person say, ‘the audience laughed for two or three minutes.’ Don't believe it, An audience never, I think I am safe In saying, Inughs for a minute, A ten-second laugh 1s about the limit." “You ‘time’ your laughs?” “Always,” said the comedian fn the most business lke way, “T ‘time’ every performance and keep the records. I know just how long the actual perform- ance runs. All the time over that represents laughs, And it's the Inughs that count. I don’t care who gets them, whether {t's me or somo other member ot the company. Get them, that's all, But don't laugh yourself, A comedian should never laugh at his own sayings.” o a es * s ed AVE you ever noticed how Collier pops into H view at his first entrance?

I snes abe that's the way an audience feels about a comedy. They want ‘something dolhg,’ if I may uso slang (and tn those clothes!), and I be- lieve in ‘getting busy’ at the sound of the gong.” It seemed so fearfully tmproper for a man dressed as Mr. Collier was to Indulge in pugfistio metaphor that I drew him gently in another direction by in+ quiring how he had escaped being « matinee idol, “God fixed that," was the imrfous response, “No beauteous creature by written or spoken word has ever told me she has seen this face in her dreams. And then I have never done anything horrible—that ts, outside of my acting. Unfortunately, I've never figured in a sensation or a romance. I'm :married and I've never been divorced. I suppose I have neg- lected my opportunities, but I feol that it Is too Inte for me to attempt to redeem myself now, And I can't make love—no, believe me, I cannot. The love scene in a play is always the hard spot in the road for me to get over, You listen the next time you see me making love and {f you can hea any sighs escaping from the feminine portion of the audience you have my permission to tell my wife,” a a Rd o a a OW for the dark secret of the tall-hatan@the frock coat!
