THE DON’T JOKE:— A ‘political Plattsburg' is now being conducted by the republicans at which they are being instructed and train ed for campaigning during the com ing battle. Recently the instructors issued ten ‘’don’ts,” dealing mostly with dress and manner of speakers. Commenting on this the New York World recently suggested the following as being more helpful suggestions: 1. Dont mention the housewife's market basket, for that woukrt all for reference to the Fordney tarrlf act. 2. IKrn't reiterate that the Republican is “the only party fit to govern," for you might be thought facetious. 3. Don't resurrect the Jokes on Dmiels, for your audience might make comparisons with Denby. 4. Don't mention the world court and Harding's farewell message, for that would embarrass the President. 5. Don’t hint again at hidden scandals in the Wilson administration, for your audience might laught at the wrong place. 6 Don’t challenge comnfison.ais] years the “small minds” of the Wilson cabinet aud the “best minds" of the Harding-Coolidge cabinet, for your audience might take you seriously. 7. In using the phrase, “the Grand Old Party.” bo sure to make the “O” very broad, for otherwise the “Old” might sound like “Oil.* 8. Don't revleve the joke about "wiggle-wabble.” for your hearers might misunderstand the application. 9. Don't refer to Harding's pledge to the women of social legislation, for some one might ask'you for results. 10. Don't invite comparison between the status of women in the Republican and Democratic organizations, for rioting might follow. Without friends, without notice of any kind.

Face to Face With r William Hodge The Lincoln of His Time in His l (By Joe Mitchell Chapple) Au American actor who has helped to emancipate the American stage from an avalanche of exotic plays is William Hodge, the Lincoln of his time in his profession. Hodge came to the* stage during a time of transition in the mimetic art. He bad come to a stage cumbered with traditions already becoming obsolete. He had the vision to mark out for himself a path alqpe, and as then cast aside certain of the time-worn traditional trappings of the drama. Hodge has discarded them all. like wornout garments. He has dared to be himself ; behind the footlights. • In Albion. New Work, a red-headed < lad was looked upon as the leader it. i the school theatricals. Slow to speech i and slow to anger, but when aroused II look out!—he could fight as well as • ■ he could act. Property manager for I his brother's theatrical company. young William Hodge became joint <

I manager of the New York Comedy Company, and then and there seriously considered the stage his life work. ’• His success in the “Reign of Error" It and the creation of the character of •- Freeman Whitmarsh was the begin- !_ ‘ning of his stage career. Studying his part, studying people related to the part, he began then and there 1 writing plays of his own The manti- '' scripts were carried about with him in trunks, and night after night, after - the play, he became engrossed in the • writing of plays. Some of his plays have appeared first in l»ook form. His nov< I. “The Guest of Honor,” when '| dramatized, had n successful run. in j ' this popular play the heroine speaks a Hue that the Cudience carries away t with them night after night, the key- . note of an old-fashioned sentiment: i "When two people really love, there is no ending—it is always la-ginning.” 1 Appearing in “The Man from r Home” imparted a spirit of patrio- i • tism that struck home to the hearts I of theatre-goers. From that time on ’ I. Jjjere was a distinctive following for b in all his plays. Wiliam nlvdge walks out upon the I stage as a nm<n walky into his own ]i office or his hApie.Xnd become a' I once the central fKffi dominant figure i on it —not by n-asoLi of any theatric gesture, because he ns roly uses one; < not be< a use of any str. iking facial ex- I pression. because excep't *>r a some. < times quizzical, sometii’nes alluring smile, his expression rar’ely changes;

& W I I* >- WILLIAM HODGES says: •'When two people really lovs, thera is no ending—it is always beginning.” ' . — . !. - not by reason of a dominating voice, because he reads his lines usually in a conversational tone- hut by reason of the fact that he is so evidently and completely the character he has assumed. In every part he acts he presents the similitude of a human being engaged in an accustomed and everyday employment. "The Road to Happiness” contained n suggestion of his one great dream. Then followed a few earned-

les. but all the time he was thinking and dreaming of a certain play. Night after night I have been with him after long, hard matinees ami night performance while he wurked on the characters and prepared liner that have become epigrams in literature. The play that lingind so many years in his mind has the appropriate title "For All »f Us.” Indeed. it does seeia to be the play for all of us. It has a wholesome philosophy that sufikes home w it|i subtle and dramatic froc-e. it gives play forth" real genius of William Hodge as an actor in his interpretation of the beloved old workman, who has caught the Master's spirit and presents an inspiring view of living right and serving others. Sooner or later every man. worn tn, boy and girl should see "For All Os i Un." Far from being a problem play, it deals with the everybody problems | for all of us. without a suggestion cf I preaching, it strikes home with unherring blows and holds interest from • the breathless silence of the midnight i hour in the si< k room. A soft, mellow i atmosphere of kindlir* ss comes on like a dawn ami proves how each 'one of us can do something -for all of us. William Hodg" in the summer day* at homo on his farm in Connecticut lias created a play that will live long after hl* own volte 1* bushed a memorable contribution to the theatrical literature of his time*
