none of the vulgarism that voices It

Mr. Everett, while not the first

has from the first adhered strlcrly to
his determination to make use of his
own conception of the role, a con ;
eeptlon that Is one of the most pow j

as the playright has done, affirms
Mtoutly that Mr. Rockefeller has noi
been used as a model.
"The character Is thp composite

Grimes sucreeded In cutting the

LETTER TO PLANTERS COM
PRESS CO.
Augusta, Ga
Dear Sira: Here la a story that
tolls the fact* as truly as If ft were
true.
At the time when President Liu
coin was shot, in 1565, a man had
three houses alike. In like condition
and situated alike. He meant to find
cut. by experiment, which of three
paint* wi-uld prove moat profitable.
He painted the first house lead-and
oll, the second Devoe, the third tin
other good paint; and. afterward*,
painted each house when required,
for thirty year*, with the paint h<
painted It with at first.
H* got 25 gallons of each for the
Jub; had 1 gallon left on ihe first
house, an.l 4 on the second; hu* had
to jet 7 gallons more for the third
He was surprised at the difference;
he hau expected one paint to go a*
far a* another.
The costs of the several paint* by
the gallon were not far apart: lead
attd-oil |1 t'o; De\oe $1.75; the a her!
paint It 50; and the cost of all three
was the same for labor, s;< 00 a gal !
lon.
1-ead and-otl he has painted once in
three year*, Devoe once In »tx, and
the other paint once In (In' years
Any schoolboy ran reckon his costs

either man In view'. At any rate, I
have certainly not based my concep
tion of the role oil ar.y personal
knowledge of cither mau. Hyder is
a distlnat Individuality that is not to
be confused with anyone. He is tli
highest type of whal represents tht
'.System', and he makes his potential
ity felt as does no one man in real
life.
"Not yet", Mr. Everett w'-nt on,
"have 1 iy learned all the coni
plexttues ot what Shirley calls the
Octopus. Perhaps that ts why the
part has such a fasctnatldn tor me.
For nearly three years now, I have
been appearing In this role, and yu.
every time I play it there comes to
me some fresh revelation of Its pos
tlbllltles. Constantly with me Is tht
question, what would a man of such
unbridled power have done under
these circumstances or these, or
these? Whether or not I am answer
ing the question well, I can glean on
ly from the attitude of my audience
If 1 am in error there Is no respon
siveness, and to I delve o/ice more
Into the deep complexitues of the
man and his self-made environment ”
Mr Everett is an actor who takes
his part variously. He believes that
what Is worth doing at all is worth
doing well. To his every role he
brings a freshness of enthusiasm tha.
cannot fall to make a powerful im-
I resslon whether or not one happens
to agree with hts own particular Idea
regarding the requirements of the
rharacler he is enacting No part
could fit him more perfectly than
does that of the money king in
Klein's story, and whether or not wo
see In It something of Rockefeller or
of some other moneyed potentate, w--
do see In It something that makes an
Imprint such as Is posslb'e only from
a personality remarkable for
strength and Individuality.
