How Rays Like "Pollyanna" Are Staged Readers of the Eleanor H. Porter's glad books; "Pollyanna ' and • r>„n.„ i~ Up," will naturally desire to see their ideals of the *i,. .v.- nlciiiliiirl when thev CO to the in the novels

Broad Sirtet Theatre. Philadelphia, to see the play made therefrom, called "Pollyanna: The Glad Play-' J Each reader of the books, .forms his or her individual ideal of just what each character should look like and how each should speak, for this reason, cast- , ing the dramatization of a novel is always more difficult than when it is a matter of casting an .original play. In the latter case, the author alone is to be satisfied in the matter of how the actor will look— and he.is, often as; not,' persuaded that it is better to not. pcrsuaoeu wai ii is ik.;".' -w

give up his ideals of material appearance for the sake of getting an actor of exceptional talent to originate the character. Millions of readers of "Pollyanna most be suited in the casting of the play made from the "best sellers." The author of the book. Eleanor H. Porter, had first say as to the cast Catherine Chisholm Cusliing. who made the dramatization, was present. and togereer they reached agreement as to thp twelve actors of the eleven characters. One part, Jimmy Bean, is played by two actors — who respectively impersonate him at the ages of twelve and seventeen. When an original play is cast, the prodnccr and author talk it oyer until at least the latter is_ satisfied UUUl 41 IWSI Uiv Idlldt «

that the play will be well performtd. S^vc in the case of an important star, with a voice iti the management, it is infrequent that the actors engaged, know anything- at all of the play as a whole until' it Las been read to them by tnc ^ — • — re» 1 lu incui uj tn*.

I author or stage director. But in casting "Pollyanna" it. was necessary that every player even considered for the company should read the novel. It so happened that, with a single exception, eve ry I member save - one I I of the cast event- I ' nally placed under I contract had read J the story before I

he or she so much as knew that the books were to be I dramatized. That "Pollyanna" is not a ttory with what is known as a "theafrical end" (i e., concerning people is Known a theatrical enfl {i. e„ concerning people THE LADIES' ALDEBS

of the. theatre!, this fact would tend to show the widespread circulationi . of Mrs.' Porter's nOvcl. _ *ji .'iix runcr s nuvci. - ; . . ...

One result cf all the players knowing a novel is that, once rehearsals are under way, the work goes on more cuickly than in the case of an original drama. The actors possess what may be termed "prospect."— knowing the story as the novelist wrote it, and knowing that they have been selected because of a combination of physical and artistic fitness; they sec ahead and are not dependent entirely upon the stage director for information. An actor often is heard to say: "We're in the third act, rehearsing day and night, and I don't know what I ^Iiall have to do in the last act" The "Pollyanna" actors knew reasonably Well that they would have to do act by act. and scene bv scene. as soon as the play was read to them

by Mrs. Cushing. That reading took them over the ground they -already ' knew, showed them the salient incij; dents of the novel which had been retained by the dramatist, and gave | them to know what aspect of the respective characters were to be high- • lighted and emphasized. "The entire cast." said Mrs. Cushing. "was letter perfect two days after getting the parts. That is where staging "Pollyanna" differs from every jbtfaer experience I have had since taking up. play writing. Never before Kr.vc I known letter -perfect actors in less than ten days."
