F appreciative souls ever gather in the Great Gallery of the Gods to see what is going on in our little theatrical world, one of them at least must look down with something more than satisfaction upon the fine perform- Theatre. through a mist. “I don't want to talk about a hard struggle and all that sort of thin: she assured .oo, “for after all I have merely shared a common experience. | te! From the first I looked at it as a fight and I was determined to put Up @ good fight so far as courage was concerned. Yet every time I faced New York in # new role a frightened voice within me kept crying, please, don’t turn me down!’ It wi because of this that I tried too hard, as I now realize, to win recognition. This vory straining, this desperate effort to seize the public, kept me back. When I was first made a star the thing overwhelmed me. Every night I burned myself out, all to no purpose. In spite of my vow to make a fight so long as there seemed a fighting chance I was fearfully dis- couraged timo after time, I felt I should never succeed in doing any- thing worth while until my youth and enthusiasm had been thrown into the basket and that then the public would say. ‘Oh, yes, she's very good—but such an old thing!’ At this a young and fair face was plunged into very delicate hands, but it came up smiling and reasonably happy. Now, don't get the impression that this was “acting.” ‘It was just |@ plain little talk with common eense to give it point. In ope eenge—and only one—Miss Ferguson can be per- fectly plain. “What I lacked,” she explained as though-calling herself to account, “was confidence. That is the great thing—confiden: By this I igen mean assurance, but a feelin; strength in what one is doing. Soni is the groundwork of it all. I believe it js only by her own conviction that an actress can carry a thing ho! Confidence finally came to me wit! “Outcast” simply because the play ap- pealed to me as being true and hu- man. In other words, I believed in it and was therefore enabled to believe. in myself, It was the play that gave me confidence, though I must confess that it shook my nerve a bit when it was offered me over the telephone.” Like you, perhaps, I was all ears. A play that coines by telephone is rather sudden, to say the least, isn’t it? “Judge for yourself,” suggested Miss Ferguson, with a ile. “I was called up and told in managerial tones: ‘We hav fine play with a great Traffio,’? New described as HE BIG IDEA,” an unusual play, by A. F, ‘Thomas and Clayton Hamil- ton, will be produced at the Hudson eT ‘Theatre on Mo:.lay night. The cast will include Ernest Glendinning, Richard Sterling, William Court- leigh, Forest Robinson, Harold Rus- sell, George Wright jr. Harold Grau, Desmond Kelley, Isabel Gar- rison, Hazel Lowry and Frances Wright. ee “The Traffic,” a play by Rachel Marshall and Otiver Bat:ey, that deals with the social evil, will be brought to the New York Theatre on Monday night, In the cast will be Beas San- key, King Strong, Eva French, Sylvia de Frankie, Edwina Levin, John Daley, Robert Middlemass and Leo Lindhard, ee “What It Means to a Woman,” by E.

The point is he was right. Proof of this is to ‘be found at the Lyceum In the circumstances it is interesting—and only fair—to know it was Clyde Fitch who “discovered” Elsie Ferguson. The odd part of it is that he never made known his discovery to the lady herself. What it meant to her could be seen in her eye last night—granting that it is possible to see ite Clyde Fitch, in the course Strangely enough, this was Part for you.’ ‘What is it? * quired, ‘You play a streot- walker? , Was the answer. Can you see me hanging on to the limp end of the hone? Heaven I'm not a ore yet I did get something of a shock over the wire. However, when the play was sent up to me to read, I saw in the girl of the streets the pos- sibility of a great part. I felt at once feat ch there was a world of sympathy in her and I was only too glad to say id play the role. That's how it ec re the omer gh ‘appened since then is town-talk. Miss Ferguson gives one of the finest performances of the sea- son—of many seasons for that matter —in a role that demands striking in- dividuality, @ bitter touch of humor, and a deep sense of Leogrid suffering. Hig Mirlam is like a half-sister Cs ,, Campbell’s Eliza in “Pygm: lon: Both come from the London streets and both are “improved,” men- tally at any rate, by the change in their fortunes. What is more signifi- cant front a theatrical point of view is that an American actress has achieved a brilliant triumph with such rivals as Mrs. Campbell and Marie Tempest in tho field. I don’t know, of course, how you feel on this score, | * I must say that Miss Ferguson makes me very proud of the type of Amert- can actress she rep ts. As for ba hans Vg Vg ht to say: risa is, to be sure, an extrenrel frank type of heroine. The 4 play, in my opinion, has way for her. She {!s acce because she follows naturally path of ti blackmailer—played so amusingly by Florence Nash—in ‘Within the Law.’ We have become accustomed to mod- ern types that speak directly, and sometimes rather bluntly, to an audi- ence. It is this very directness, inci- dentAlly, that adds to the diMculty of acting. We no longer have a stage with ‘apron,’ and beyond that an orchestra, over which an elaborate gesture might in itself carry a thought. Acting, like food, business and nearly everything else to-day, is concentrated. It must be brought down to the most intimate terms with the audience and driven home with a simple word. This is so hard that my great ambition is to be able, come day, to leave the stage.” But don’t let that worry you. Now that she has “arrived” with flying colors, Miss Elsie Ferguson, you may rest assured, is here to stay. da: York Theatre. next Saturday night with a com: ete a ip programme of one-act plays, One ‘The Outcry,” by Henry Kitchell Webster, who makes it an incident of the present European war. “In the Fog,” by Frederick Truesdell, will give Holbrook Blinn the role of a Scotch marine engineer, who returns home unexpectedly on a tramp steamship to find that his cockney wife, keeper of @ little shop in which he had in- vested his savings, had played him false.

By Sylvester Rawling. E Metropolitan Opera Com- Pany’s @ason of twenty-three weeks will open next Monday night with a performance of Verdi's “Un Ballo in Maschera.” Thanks to Mr. Gatti-Casazza'’a capacity for management and to his training in the arts of diplomacy, the company has been assembled almost intact, de- spite the obstacles in the way arising from the war in Europe. The outlook is a bit staggering to the Apostles of Gloom. The subscription is normal and the initial demand for seats by outsiders !s surprising. The box office sale opened on Thursday, Would-be purchasers of seats began to assem- ble as early as 5 o'clock in the morn- ing. Before the sales window was Taised the lines extended around the block, in some places three rows deep, and the capacity of the house for the opening night was exhausted early. The same was true for Thursday's “Carmen.” Soon speculative pur- chasers were asking $10 a seat for the family circle. It is not unlikely that, because so many people who usually are abroad during the winter will be compelled to stay in town, the weagson may be a record one finan- cially. Most of the favorite singers and all the conductors and stage officials re- main, although Olive Fremstad, Bella Alten and Jeanne Maubourg will be missed, and Dinh Gilly is still in the trenches. Among the new comers will be Melanie Kurt, Mabel Garrison, and Elizabeth Garrison, sopranos; Ray- monde Delaunnols, contralto; Johan- nes Sembach, Max Bloch and Luca Botta, tenors; Riccardo Tegani and Silvio Burkenroad, baritones, and Al- bert Pellaton and Arthur Middleton, bassos. Several novelties are promised, in- cluding Giordano's “Madame Sans Gene,” with the composer to be pres- ent at the first performance; Horo- dine's “Prince Igor,” and revivals of “Carmen,” Weber's “Kuryanthe” and “Fidelio, Monday's “Un Ballo in Maschera” will have the cast made familiar by last year’s revival.
