He cama to doubt and he left the theatre In a tremendously enthusiastic frame of Blind. For a considerable time be had had a vagua Idea for a comedy running Alfred Lunt in Training for "Clarence."

Lunt Took with The Country through his mind, but he had not given it much thought because of the whimsical nature of the character he had Imagined and the difficulty of finding a player capable of playing It He became convinced that Lunt's gorgeous style." aa he wrote to Mr.

Tyler, would Just fit It and he determined forthwith to write the play. Thus It was that Clarence came into being. Lunt was the external stimulus which caused it to be written. Those who know Booth Tsrklngton well kncAW that he is one of the raOst self-effacing and modest of writera On first nights of his plays he is always hundreds of miles away from tiie theatre, and lie Is one of the few playwrights in this country who never took u. curtain call.

In this connection It Is Interesting; to present the tribute to the players In Clarence which he sent to Mr. Tyler, and which the latter tacked up on the call board at the Hudson on Thursday night Here it Is: Please) express my gratitude to all WHAT NEWS ON THE RIALTO?

With the arrival of the authpr on these shores last week the work-of casting the piece was given an added Impetus, but no public announcement has aa yet been made aa to the Identity of the player who will act the part Broadway gossip has it that the choice now lies between two players Wslter Hampden and Frederick burton. On the strength cf his Shakespearean accomplishments Mr. Hampden would seem to be the choice; Mr.

Burton, on the other hand, called attention, to himself a year and a half ago by his performance In Arthur Hopkins's one-act play "Moonshine," acted at the public gambol of the Lambs. Indeed, the producer Is said to favor Mr. Burton for the rOle.

Frederick Stanhope, who staged Clarence." lias had twenty-five years of practical experience In the world of the theatre, and he makes the solemn and positive declaration that in that time he has never produced or seen produced a play in which so few alterations were made from the time the first manuscript came from the hand of the author. The play as presented at the Hudson Theatre Is practically the play, word for word, that reached Mr. Tyler's desk hearsals will probably begin in a few weeks, and present Indications are that the play will come into New Tork is November. Edward Goodman's comedy of Mortimer." with Mary Shaw tn the title role, was acted for the first in Long Branch last night, and Is presumably destined eventually 'for New Tork. Mr.

Goodman, as most playgoers are -likely to remember, was the director of the Washington Square Players during the three years of the life of that organization. His play, which is being produced by the Sclwyns. deals with the complications resulting from the renting; of a mother by his hero. i The Theatre Guild win begin its sec-end seaann at the Garrick Theatre on Oct 13, when they will present John Masef ItJd's Japanese play. The Faithful." -A number of the cast of John WHO'S WHO ON THE STAGE THE success of Frank Carter in Sce-Saw strangely enough, he is scoring- both as an actor and as an acrobatic dancer adds one more episode to a career wikh is already rather hectically full.

dfbut on the stage is not a matter HJT record at the' age of 8 he began to pass programs in a vaudeville theatre in Kansas City, not far from Falrbury, and during these yars he waa frequently wont to don a wig and walk on the stage as the che-lld who brings the errant parents together In the last act. Charles "A Parlor Match memory, used him in a sketch caUed Aunt Jerusha." and persuaded his mother to let the boy accompany him on; tour. In the vaudeville theatres the yoVngsr was fascinated by the aero1 batic acts, and began practicing with them. It was this early beginning, of course, that has given him his dexterity as an acrobatic dancer. In St.

Joseph. when he was 16. he Joined Bostock's Carnival, doing a daredevil dive from the top of the main pole. 90 feet high. Into a pond something larger than a bathtub.

He made this leap twlca a day for mora than a year before he missed his aim by inches one day and cracked his head. lie lay in the hospital three weeks without moving, but then came around and eventually rejoined the circus not aa a performer this time, but as a ticket and song seller. But there waa bo future for him in this klnc of work, as he realised after a few lean Winters had taught him what hunger meant. So he drifted to Chicago, with no assets ether than his personality. He knew Ted Marks, cow a vauJevIlle agent, and the latter found him a Job in a moving-picture house, a store room called Brand's Hall on Clark Street.

As a favor to Marks the proprietor tried the innovation of combining vaudeville with pictures. At that time, of course, such a step was quite a concession, as nickelodeons were beneath the dignity of the music halls. This magnate, however, was willing to risk $12 a week on Carter, who ssr.gr and danced at the end of every reel. He varied his act for his own entertainment, said changes being at the rate of twent) a day. Two weeks of this was enough for him, for he came to realise that ha was interesting the audlenca more than the pictures.

Ha want to the Majoslic, Theatre, aai tcU Cea Ju ti aav ttznT last Spring with two exceptions. A ten-word speech near the end of the first act. which Tarklngton decided was a dud after seelnr the comedy In Atlantic City, was rewritten by him. In the third act Stanhope transposed a speech, with the author's permission. There were no cuts or other alterations.

There has been much curiosity aroused among playgoing folk and dramatic writers as to the precise ages of Helen Hayes and Glenn Hunter, who Impersonate the Tarklngton juveniles In the comedy. Neither one of these young peo ple has yet reached the age where hesitation about revealing the real truth would be either warranted or Justifiable, so. as AI Jolson would say. We may speak freely." MUs Hayes is exactly 18. having turned that corner last month, and Hunter will be 22 this week.

Miss Hayes, of course, as is generally known by this time, has already had a career of sorts despite her youtli. She haa been on the stage for ten years and has a round of fifty roles or more to her credit She went on as a tiny girl with Lew Fields in "Old Dutch." and she has been playing continually ever since, being one -of the Juvenile prodigies who are the exception to the general rule that this type of child wonders never amount to much when they grow up. Her performance of the little might-have-been girl In Bar-rie's Dear Brutus last season waa her last metropolitan achievement She Is under contract to Mr. Tyler for an Indefinite term of year. Hunter waa a member of the Washington Square Players a few years ago.

appealing in The Clod and later in Bushido." He also played the part of the boy In Chesterton's Magic for a few weeks at the Maxlne Elliott and was with Rose Coghlan for a time In vaudeville. Two years ago he played the grown-up Jimmy Bean In PolIyanna with Patricia Collinge, on tour. Then he went Into the army. and came out to be assigned to the role of Bobby. Mr.

Tarklngton. as mentioned 1 above, at first felt him unsuited for this role because of his age, but gave in after witnessing his performance when the piece was tried out In Atlantic City. Mary Boland. who plays the excitable and ultra-emotional Mrs. Wheeler In Clarence," is making her reappearance In New Tork after fire months' service tn Frtv aa a member of the only stock company which continually presented plays for the American Army.

Other important members of this organization were Minnie Dupree and Sidney Shields. The company presented two plays Kick In" snd "A Pair of Sixes" and traveled from one end of France to the other In Ford ambulances. The members were billeted in French homes, and the experience was considerably more arduous and disturbing than a season of one night stands in Iowa, South Dakota and Nebraska. There is considerable mention of the coleoptera in said Miss Boland the other evening. and it always makes me squirmy.

I had a somewhat extended experience with the coleoptera during my occupation of certain billets In France and it's something I'd like to forget permanently." Ferguson will be transferred to the new production, but the latter play, which is the foundation of the Guild's fortunes, will continue on Its way. Kathryn Kidder, who is Mrs. Louis K. Anspacher. will presently return to the stsge In her husband's play, "All the King's Horses." to be produced by the Coburns.

The male role will be acted by Tyrone Tower. The prise announcement cf the week unquestionably was the solemn declaration by the Shuberts that Frank Fay. at present of Oh. What a Girl will soon be seen under their management In a strong dramatic role." While The Morning Telegraph's account of the return of George Arllss to these shores also was of interest Mr. Arllss.

said the M. brought back new plays by Louis Joseph Vance and Voltaire." for the week. They believed him and placed him at work. Thus began his rise. He eventually reached Hammerstein's here, then the goal of all variety performers, scored a distinct hit and was booked for London.

He played in London. Paris, and the provinces for four years, traveled all through Europe, from Madrid to Petrograd. and through the Orient. He came back to America In 1914, and after playing in vaudeville and Winter Garden shows for a few years he was engaged by Florens Zle feld for the Follies." He is the husband of Marilynn Miller. THB performer who emerged from Thunder with the greatest measure of honor last Monday night waa unquestionably Leila Bennett, whose work as a drab creature of the Carolina mountains aroused the audience to a high pitch of enthusiasm on several occasions.

Stories of plyers who wait months and years for their Broadway opportunities are not infrequent, but no actress of recent years has waited quite so definitely for her chance as has Leila Bennett. She has done her waiting at the Gaiety Theatre in Llghtnln' sitting for some fifty-three weeks as a spectator of the courtroom proceedings, sitting there and nothing more. Miss Bennett's story, so far as Broadway la concerned, began two seasons ago In a Brooklyn stock company. Wln-chell Smith, vastly against his will, was taken to the performance by a fellow Lamb who bad written a play, and who was causing It to be tested by the Brooklyn stock company. What happened to the play Is not germane to this story but Smith marked the work of Miss Bennett and remembered It.

He did not. however, know her name, for by accident it was. omitted from the program. Some months Ister. when she began to make the rounds of the Broadway offices seeking an engagement.

Smith recalled her work in Brooklyn. Having nothing for her at the time he permitted her. as do the major league baseball managers wlb promising recruits, to sit on the bench until the role In Thunder came along. THE SUBWAY CIRCUIT. STANDARD" La La SBiUBERT-KrVHSRA-' Good Morning.
