After a year and a half in retirement she returned to the stage, but not continuously, motherhood and golf taking a good deal of her time. But then one day she read "White Collars" and saw great possibilities in It.

She bought the dramatic rights to the story, employed a playwright to make a play of it, and came to Los Angeles to put it on. In the meantime, she had married Louis Macloon, who was her chief adviser. "White Collars" was the biggest success in Los Angeles history, running here for two solid years. While it was running the Friday Morning clubhouse was built and Mr. Macloon liked the charming theater in it.

She has done the work which In many producing companies is done by half a dozen men or departments, and has done it more effectively, in many cases, than those organizations have been able to do it with the same material. Her production of "The Desert Song," for instance, was more colorful and picturesque than was the New York production, a fact so apparent that when the motion-picture version of the show was made the Albertson model, rather than the New York model, was followed. The Coast Defenders Lillian Albertson was born in Indiana, but came here as a little girl. She made her stage debut In San Francisco twenty-eight years ago, but was not content to stay there.

Indeed, she was afraid to stay there, for though it was a good show town, it looked to her like a place where actors got into ruts. Frank Bacon and other gifted actors were there then, and they were referred to as the Coast Defenders local celebrities with no national following. So after a year there Lillian and her1 family scraped together $500 and she went east to conquer New York. It may be that the enterprise of the young actress woke up the Coast Defenders, for soon after Bacon and some of the others also invaded the East, and Bacon rapidly grew into one of the best-loved figures on the American stage.

She doesn't make anyone feel that there is a woman around and he must govern himself accordingly. Though she is a womanly woman, with a girlish laugh which never gets high, and doesn't smoke or pursue mannish fads, she never thinks of her sex or of herself when directing. When she was directing "What Price Glory," the young men in the cast were nervous about swearing before a lady for she is a lady.

So her Intelligent acting attracted attention in New York.

It didn't make her famous, but made her respected. Belasco sent her out to Los Angeles as his leading lady here. After a season she was recalled to New York to take the lead in "Paid in Full," and her acting was one of the causes for the great success of that play. And In that play she did her first directing. There were lines In her part which were good literature, but not good theater.

She told the director she couldn't do it that way, and convinced him she could do it more convincingly her own way.

Prof. Sigmund Freud is certain to be widely read, because for good or for ill the Austrian psychiatrist has left an indelible mark on the modern school of thought. His latest book, "Civilization and Its Discontents," just published in The Times, applies his theory (that life consists of constant choices between conflicting alternatives) to world conditions as he senses them today.

His conclusions are Inevitably those of the rationalist. The picture he draws for his readers is not pretty; but that is not important. The question is: Is it a true one? Those who prefer to see life dissected with a scalpel and analyzed with test tube and microscope will find no exaggeration in the great psychoanalyst's bill of complaints. Those of the opposite extreme who lik life swaddled in illusions and disguised with rose-colored curtains are foolishly fitting themselves as witnesses for Freud's case against life. 1 1 1 11.
