Oldiime Stage Play 'The
Drunkard' Enjoys Long Run

HOLLYWOOD 11 I have Jut
talked with a man who holcla a
unique (llatliictlon: lie has been to
"The Drunkard" 183 time.
"Tho Drunkard," that theatrical
phenomenon, was 111 yeara old lust
night. Seymour Hess, an extrovert
whose business U reviving ailing
business linns, ni there for
the l.aietli perlormance and his
183rd.
Tor tlie benefit of a few folks
lately arrived from Slam and for
eome more who have learned to
read since my lust annual report,
"Tho Drunkard" has abounded ev
eryone by running no long. It la not
Improbable that a play would go
on for 21 yoara; it ! impoMlble.
But '"Hie Drunkard" haa done it.
It palnta in the brondcat melodra
matic tenna the evlla of drink.
Kurd drink, that la. Beer la aerved
tree throughout the performance to
ah apectatora over 21,
I will not try, again, to explain
"The Drunkard." Maybe champion
Ilea can:
"There la nothing e' like It In
tho world. It la a play In which
the audience takca part by cheer-
big the heroine and hutting the
villain."'

performances, producer Mildred

Now ho gcta In for free, but he '
alwaya take guest. Last night, he !
cot In for free but bought 48 tickets
lor his friends. j
Why does he go so often? Be
cause, more than any other spec
tator, he takes part In a large and
loving way In the golnga - on. I
Through tho years he has devised,
11 ways to cheer the actors and
ainuse tho other apectatora. When,
the heroine spreads a shawl over
her baby, Hess yells! "Don't
tinother III" when the same girl,
In dismay, claspa a hand to her
breast. Hose pops a paper bog. To
the hero taking a final drink, he
shouts: "You'll be aorrylV Every,

delivers his once-spontaneous lines
when Hess Isn't In the aui!nce. It
occurs to me In writing this that
this Innocent fun must aeem aw
fully childish. If Hess were young
er and Indulged In the same fun
at a movie, he'd likely be thrown
ard" la different.
