It doesn’t seem becoming at all to refer to Jimmy as a mean| part. Jimmy 's a decent part, I don’t ‘care what any one says to the con- trary. Now Henry Clegg was a mean | fellow if you like, although he did| te a good turn once and I oughtn't) to be saying anything against him! @ither. Do you know I often used to| meet Henry at the Blue Lion | Maturday night, and you wouldn' to meet a gayer or a more hart fellow in a day's walk. Sure, as Er- vine, who knew him well, used often te say to me: “Henry could no more fewist a pretty girl if she threw an eye at him than he could resist throw- ‘hk eyes at the pretty ones that ig- flored him, and there was his old Ma helping all the time to make him ‘worse with the way she slobbered Gver him. Well, she got her deserts. went off to Hungary and wont fh into the merry-go-round business and took up with a young fellow by he naine of Liliom, who takes great | elight in beating up females. | “I think the word ‘mean’ ts not! roally the right one to apply to either | Jimmy or Henry. Jimmy was not} #0 bad when you think of the injury that had been done to him by others, | the hard struggle he went through to make a business for himself. It was a bitter existence he had fighting all the time to preserve his little place fm the world and handicapped by a Pitiable nervousness for which he was fn no way to blame. We know that Pre-natal influence is responsible for a t deal of the heritage with which we enter this world, and if Jimmy's mother had suffered some Breat nervous shock previous to his Wirth tt might well account for the fear which takes possession of him at | ‘times. In the closing pages of his fine novel, ‘Changing Winds,’ in which there is another remarkable @tudy of a similar character to! St. John Ervine the fearful shrinking of a nervous) soul awakens our deepest compas- | gion. The contemplation of this thought bas governed my interpreta- tion of the character, and perhaps it te accountable for the fact that I have been able to arouse sympathy for Jimmy in my audiences. ‘all accounts Henry Clegg in- hherited from his father a certain ab- sence of restraint in dealing with the fair sex. Mrs. Clegg sr. on the virtues and failings of her de- parted husband and you won't be surprised at Henry's philanderings. be it from me to excuse him, r; I have only been amused | and interested at ‘the readiness of the opposite sex to accept, explain and understand him. “I may say I'm not anxious to be Glassified as an actor of mean parts, a ps if I live long enough I fhay lite down my pr sent reputation. n actor, like anybody else, has to yy some penalty for success. As as I can find an author who will give me real human beings to interpret I care very little whether they are unsympathetic or not. To &n actor there is no such thing as an ‘nsympatheiic part except a bad| part, and by a bad part I don't mean & smal) part but a part that has fot got the stamp of truth on it.” HIS NAME’S AGIN’ HIM. Ts some one spoofing? Anyway, this télegram has just been rushed into! @ar eager hands: | © “John Drinkwater vigorously denies fhe ts to lead theatrical contingent in the coming anti-Prohibition parade. Says his name is agin’ ‘im. Besides he’s in England and his middle name ts Doesn't.” HOW CARELESS!
