SITTING opposite the actor one might
easily take him to be a man In his

"With inclinations to literature. He, Is
very keenly alive, he Is very earnest.
"I think the reason the people of the
Stage stay so oiing lu duq to the fact
that they live so much. In tnmonow,"
aid Mr. Post when this subject came
Up "The actor, as a rule. Is usually
ahead of his times. He lhes and dreams

IT HAS been a long time In the "movie"
world since a new i-tar ban been
added to the INt of names familiar
the public Within the week there hae
been Introduced the names of I.lla I.ee
nnd Fred Stone on the Paramount-Air
craft programs and I.aily Tten Mel Is
scheduled for a first nppearance In film
at the Stanle next week. There are
barely a hundred names which the
movie fan Known and only a few star
of any Importance before the public
today These Mars have risen to their
preent heights because the public liked
their work and the compinles heralded
them as "the Treat nnd only." Tho
result of this ha been that their sal
aries hie risen with popularity, and
now the producers an- wondering If
they have not made a mistake.
In order to test tho public ns to tho
worth of tho stars, many of tho com
panies have arranged with these plajers
to han them form their own companies
and then have their productions re
leased In their own name. This means
that the real worth of the star will
hereafter be tho ultimate test It tho
Mars fall, they will fall by the wayside
and become the supporting player of
younger stars or drop out of tho films
forever.
"IAN ou name over the players who a
J few jears ago were the heroes nnd
heroines of the films'' Where have they
gone nnd why are they not appearing
In the pictures todny? The answer Is
n simple one nnd Is summed up ln a
word nhlllt) No one can hope to
attain the center of the camera's lens
who has not tho ability to retain that
position. Just now there Is a scramble
among the producers as to who will se
cure the1 future Mary PIckford attrac
tions. Her contract with the Artcraft
Company has expired and her mother,
who supervises the huslness arrange
ments of "America's Sweetheart," Is In
New York considering: offers for tho
.future placing of Miss PIckford's sub
jects. If the prices asked by this star
are met, U will mean that tho public
will have to pay higher admission
charges to see her productions, for she
Is asking a huge price for her films
In view of this fact. It Is plainly to be
seen that the companies arc anxious
to develop new players who may bo
had at a lower price to replace these
stars The presentation of 1,11a I.ee Is
typical of the tendency to present play
era In the films on their own merits
without any special heinldlng, and it
remains for the public to decide whether
they want, new faces or aro content
with tho old favorites There will al
wajs bo revivals, however, of tho films
which were mndo before tho downfall
of the stars, and, unllko the stage pro
ductions, the original cast Is to be found
In the movies.
fTUII 3 screens have shown players from
almost every couritry, but It remained
for the Betzwood Film Company to
brine forward a new actress for the
films. She Is Lady Tsen Mel, a Chinese
girl, who heretofore has confined her
work to the vaudeville theatres. It
may be recalled that the first appear
ance of SeiHUe Hayakawa, tho Japanese
acfor. was lu tho supporting cast of "The
CJicat," In which Fannie Ward made her
appearance. hlnco then he has been
a popular Idol and Is now making his
own productions.
THE Government has decided that th
"movies" aro essential and has se
lected the scteen as one of the best
means of spreading propaganda about
viar alms, drives and loans. The Gov
ernment Is 'also In the movlo manufac
turing business now and Is releasing
films showing the activities of tho boys
who are fighting "over theio" as well
as th manifold war activities here.
There Is one thing, however, which tho
Gov'ernment might do, and that Is to
exempt all men In uniform from paying
the war tax on both theatrical and
motion picture attractions.

BELASCO DISCARDS
LOWERED CURTAIN
Subtly Changing Lights Alone
Tell the Story of a Night
in "Tiger Rose"'
For the flight of time In the action
of a play the law of the theatie Is a
lowered curtain No producer hitherto
has ever Indicated the passage of a
night In full view of nn audience with
out the use of some device or ntir-
talnment to bold the Interest until David
Belasco, substituted (.Imply dnrkiuss in
his presentation of "Tiger I!oe" which
comes to the Broad.
The nearest approach that has ver
been mado to this Innovation In pres
enting Wlllard Mack's stor.v of the great
Northwest was by Mr Belasco himself
In his presentation of "Madame Butter
fly" The curtain remained up for four
teen minutes during the actlo'i nf the
Japanese tragedy while the night was
supposed to steil by But during tint
period, a forty-two-plece orchestra held
the attention of the ainlence
In "Tlgtr Itose," however, theie Is
offered nothing of music, speteh or ac
tion to hold the ntunllnn of the audi
ence, while for the six and a half
minutes tint represent the passing of
a night the stage million in darkness,

DUAL ROLES TEST OF
ACTOR'S VERSATILITY
Guy Bates Post Employs
Mansfield Methods in Por
traying Characters
The runl role Is not popular among
players. Its Interpretation calls for n
display of talent which few possess.
When Illchard Walton Tully selected
"The Mnsquernder" for Guy Bates Post
the star welcomed the dual role of John
Chllcote and John Loder because he be
lieved that It would enhance his ver
satility. The list nf dual roles Is a limited one.
The last seen here was the admirable
performance of K, H. Sothern In "The.
Prisoner of Zenda." Among the other
plays which have called for doublo In
terprctatlons are Sir Henry Irvlng'a Du
boso and Lusurquo In "Tho Lyon's
Mnll," a characterization which ranked
high ln the list of that great actor's
achievements. Irving also played in
"Tho Corslcan Brothers," which Itobert
Mantell made very familiar to our play
goers of another generation, and Man
tell also did a dual role In the piece
called "A Face In the Moonlight." "Dr.
Jekyll nnd Mr. Hyde," which Mansfield
made his own, was not a dual part, as
the rhaiacter was represented to be one
man matamnrphosed by a drug.
In one respect .Mr. Post's playing ln
"Tho MiiMiuerader'' i similar to Mans
field's work In "Dr. Jekyll and Mr.
Hyde." It wns generally supposed that
the latter. In making the change from
one to the -other, also altered his make
up On the. ntlthnjlty.of.hls stage man
ager for several seasons It Is stated
that he dld-itiotr-do so. He secured the
Illusion of transition by disarranging his
hair a bit. ahd Ahejus.q qf a mobile face
nnd well-controlled body. Mr. Post as
Chllcote nnd Loder does tlvo same thing
in reverting' from one character to the
other .

rest, Is one of the few American girls
who hove made a dlstlngulslng mark In
Europe. Miss Painter Is thoroughly
American. She was born In Ohio and
her early musical training vvas begun
under American vachers. Her voice
early developed that quality which Is
only a degree from grand opera calibre,
and It was decided that she should go
abroad and continue her musical educa
tion. She began under Madamo Nlklsch,
wife of the famous conductor, Arthur
Mklsch, nnd Arthur Ixiwe, and later hnd
the honor of of being "the scholarship
pupil" of the great LIUI Lehmann. Her
first opportunity came when she was
eneaged for "Madame Butterfly" at the
Charlottenburg Opera House.
She was engaged for an cntlro opera
season at Covent Garden, London, where
she opened tho role of "Musetta" In
Puccini's "Boheme." Many offers from
European producers promptly followed,
bus the outbreak of the war decided her
to return homo nnd take up concert
work.
But Andreas Dlppel had heard her
sing while nbroad, and engaged her for
tho leading role In his American pro
duction of Gulliver's "Lilac Domino."
A successful season In this operetta per
suaded Miss Talntcr to stay on the
musical' comedy stage, and the following
season she appeared ln John Cort's

ventured Into straight comedy, nnd ap

has now returned to musical comedy.
