TURNING ON THE SPOTLIGHT BY CHARLES DARNTON BREAKING HIS FAIR OLD SCHOOLMATE , = HAVE had this week three varieties of the stage heroine in distress. Kate has wept for shame at finding herself kissed by an importunate admirer; Mary has flung herself from a hospital window at sight of ser lover kissing a nurse, and Fanny has walked with her head up after an unfortunate week-end with a youth no bigger than his dad’s bank-book. The ways of a man with a maid—or woman—are too familiar to excite anything more than incidental interest. It’s the behavior of the woman in the case that is important., Fully aware of this favt, the playwright keeps her constantly in mind with the purpose and hope that you will do likewise. HAVING AkLOWED To BEAT HIM AT FIGURES TO MAKE H verything depends upon her-—her point of view, her response or reactions, ' .d above all her power of appeal, whether right or wrong.

She never snivels in self-pity. Her only tears are for the girl-friend who went with her on a holiday and was drowned. As for herself, she faces “the situation that confronts her squarely and unflinchingly.

There is good, hard stuff in this mill girl. Perhaps her work as a weaver has helped to make her gelf- t reliant. She is “game” from first to iH last, Just how much her holiday has cost her can only be guessed. Toe CERTAINLY (S, NECK “TRYING T MAKE A WT WITH HIS WEALTHY O.G.

For a Now. THEN ¢ woman of her business experience Kate 1s surprisingly flustered the moment she gets away from her desk. It is only reasonable to look for more sustained poise in her. After all, a woman who goes out to dinner with so persistent a gentle- man as the railroad president of An- nie Nathan Meyer's play ought to re- alize the necessity of being on her guard, To be sure, her back is turned when he staggers into the Long Island house and offers alco- holic proof of his admiration, But the faet that her back is bare shouldn't trouble Kate. If she has beon advertising herself she might naturally look for returns and not ery about what she gets.

It certainly seems as though a country schoolma’am would know too much to lose her head over a male vamp versed in the lingo of Greenwich Vil- lage “studio” life. Still, when she has her hair bobbed almost the mo- ment she arrives, the worst is to be expected. The fact that Mary comes from New England may be signifi- cant, for it is not wholly improbable that Ruth M.

Leaving Mary to her dreadful fate, we may observe that Greenwich Vil- lage continues to defy dramatization. So far it has been good for nothing but the “Follies” Mr. Anderson, This may be due to the feeling that there is no sincerity in it. You may retort that the same is true of Mont- martre.

In some instances films are being put in, while a few have re- sorted to stock companies, but these ventures, temporary in nature, have not brought pleasing results, The truth of the matter is the theatrical business of the country is headed back where it was before this country entered the war and that level, with its reduced admission prices, is hard for the producers to accept, espe- cially since ove J expenses have not come down correspondingly.
