This smile from the gods of chance took place in 1906, when the actor was spending a'vacation | in Monaco after his first season on| the London stage. According to Bellew, “breaking the bank” at Monte Carlo, should not be given a literal interpreta-| tion as is done by most fok. The| term really means “breaking” the| particular table of the gambling| casino at which one is playing. | In “Strange Cargo,” which comes to the Coliseum this week, Bellew is one of a distinguished cast of stage artists which includes Iee Patrick, June Nash, George Bar-| raud, Russell Gleason, Frank Reich- er, Claude King, Ned Sparks, Jose- phine Brown, Charles Hamilton, Otto Matiesen, Harry Allen, Andre Beranger and Warner Richmond. o 7" “THE DIVINE LADY” | | COMING TO PALACE *The combination of Corinne Grif- fith as the star and Frank Lloyd as the director in the biggest pic- ture to be produced by the First| National Company this year—that | is “The Divine Lady,” which opens | its local engagement at the Palacf-g Theatre, Wednesday. 1 “The Divine Lady” marks the| return of, both Lloyd and Miss Griffith to the First National fold.| Lloyd, for that company, directed such outstanding pictures as “The| Sea Hawk,” “The Wise Guy” “Winds of Chance,” and “Black Oxen.” Miss Griffith, in the several years she was a First National star, be- came one of the outstanding figures | of the screen.
