PAULINE LOROSAYS SUCCESSNOT EVERYTHING

Star of Great Fame ClaimsShe Misses Lots of

Fun.By George Britt

NEA Service Writer

"5~T| EW YORK. June 13.—“1 don’tseem to get the fun I shouldout of my work.”

This is the answer of Pauline Lordto a question as to what there is leftto wish for after one has graspedthe fluttering prize of success.

Miss Lord’s work his season in“They Knew What They Wanted,”as in "Anna Christie” and otherpast successes, has placed her inthe top rank of American actresses.She possesses confident ability andopportunity and the affection ofthousands. Yet she visions happi-ness still beyond her grasp and isnot so certain that she knows whatshe wants.

“I want to play more and to en-joy life more as I go along,” shesays. “The theater doesn’t shed anyparticular benediction on my spirit.What I like best, I think, is to get

out into the country, eiher motoringor prowling around on foot. It seemsto me the person who should getthe greatest delight from his jobwould be a naturalist, a sort of JohnBurroughs."

One knows the talk about nature<s not a pose when he hears it fromthis shy. slight young woman withthe tawny hair, black eyebrows andbrilliant brown eyes. She is not aneffusive and platitudinous good fel-low.

Personality

Reaching and groping for the un-attalned, which is a touching ele-

ment in many of her best roles, isvery much a part of her own person-ality. When the man phrased hisproverb, “the wistful shall inheritthe earth," he might have beenthinking about Pauline Lord.

Her lack of theatrlealism and ofzest for acting might be rationalizedinto an explanation of how she be-came a great actress. Instead of aneasy facility, she had a spur of am-bition to drive her intelligence onbeyond mediocrity. Her real life isaway from the theater. She is notone of those stage folk who delightin sitting around after the show,talking it over. Usually she is thelast member of the company to ar-

rive in the evening, and the first togo home.

“Maybe I should have a heartierlove for the theater Itself If I hadbeen brought up in it by a family ofactors as so many are," she says.“My father ran away as a boy andwent into vaudeville. Later he wentinto business. He settled down.That was my only theatrical connec-tion of course, I went on the stagerather young, when I was fifteen,in Nat Goodwin's Company.

“Much earlier than that I was in-terested in it, and felt that waswhere I should go. Quite recently Iwas pleased when a beautiful wom-an, an actress, came and said, ‘Ihave been so keen to meet you. Be-cause yon are from my own hometown in California, and I have beenwatching you through all theseyears.’ I remerriber vividly how Iadmired this actress from a distancewhen I was a little girl because shewas an actress and how I got upearly one morning to see her come inon the train

Hard Work"Acting is hard work, to be done

as well as I can, with all the powerI have, and to be got over with.Sometimes I go on the I stage feeling

tired and thinking ‘Tonight I willsave my strength.’ Gradually 1 findmyself giving all I have, really cre-ating a living character, withoutthought of just making an appear-ance for the people across the foot-lights. The stage does make thatsort of appeal to me, but it is not athrilling and satisfying appeal thatfills all my thoughts and my dreams.

“The stage has been kind to myefforts. And Just now I have thegood fortune so have another playwhich appeals to me. and to whichI can give myself with interest andsincerity. It is available for me whenwe have finished with “They KnewWhat They Wanted.” I think some-times, however, that what I wantin life can be grasped only if I leavethe theater.”

New Plays“Trelawny of the Wells,” the

Players’ Club annual one-week re-vival. An imposing production ofthis Pinero "comedietta.” The castis all-star. John Drew, Laurette Tay-lor, O. P. Heggie and Mrs. ThomasW’hiffen and a dozen other fine play-ers. Under their handling, the oldplay Is alive, appealing and unfaded.

“Spooks”—Grant Mitchell labor*industriously in this mystery farce,but cannot elevate it beyond second-ary classification. Conventional tan-gle of weird and terrifying shocks,with various stock figures wisecrack-ing for comic effect.

“Charley’s Aunt"—An antique re-vived with many lines of age. Donewdth Victorian sentiment, manner-ism and phraseology and played withgusto.
