Today they stand at the head of an important chain operating 47 houses, which offer prac- cally every form of entertainment. heir first production, now in re- hearsal, is a new American musical play by Kaufman and Connnelly, en- titled “Re Yourself.” In it Wwill be featured Queenie Smith and Jack Donahue, with (i P.

Another venture will be the produc. tion of the operetta, “Mariza Emmerich Kalman, which is declared as a big musical hit in Vienna that rivals “The Merry Widow.” All told, it sounds good. The Nordstrom Sisters. ARIE NORDSTROM, whose char- M acter portrayals have brought her recognition in legitimate drama, is takingz a fiver in vaudeville in an act written by her sister, Franees Miss Nordstrom entered the theatri- cal game as a matter of circumstance tather than from any footlicht urge She 1% the daughter of the late Capt. 2nd Mrs. Charles ¥. Nordstrom, born and brought up at an Army post in Arizona. When she was still in he tee.s her father died and the famil moved to Washington, D. .

They special- jzed in music, not with profeesional jntentions, but because it was con- sidered correct for all debutantes of that day to be able to play or sing a bit ¥inancial conditions in the Nord- strom family were not particularly Lright at the end of a vear in Wash- ington. So Frances, bging an inde- pendent girl, determined to make xome money. She went into concert work and was fairly successful. Some ‘Dreams C ATE must have smiled merrily on three young and ambitious actors who sat chatting idly back stage of a St Louis theater in 1915, during a brief respite from a hectic rehearsal. As @ matter of fact, when you're plAYing in stock with a weekly change of program all the rehearsals are bectic. This was an exceedingly warm day, and as the three actors in question mopped their brows they talked of Broadway, their ambitions, hopes apd aspirations to rise in the warld of the theater. Perhaps it's a long way from 1915 n St. Louis to 1924 in New York, but all three have successfully made the leap, and now their names are among the leaders. The three are Louis John Bartels, who scored an overnight success in ~The Show-Off.” George Kelly's com- at the Playhouse, New York; Calhern, in “Cobra,” and Henry Hull, whose rise antedated that of | 1he other two when he scored in “The Man Who Came Back.” Not all dreams are realized,” ru-| minated Louis John Bartels between | acts of “The Show-Off" the other day, “put -when three dreams in a Tow come true, why, it's time to pause and think of the little imp called Jate.

Because is a custom, Just for looks? says Allene Ray, the new serial star, and she thus started an argument with her company. Finally Miss Ray asked an old cow- boy, who had been a cattle puncher many vears. He explained that the wearing of the handkerchiefs was a |custom now, but in “the good old | days” while herding cattle or driving them any great distance they usually had to pass through sections of alkall | country. The dust stirred up by the trotting cattle nearly suffocated the cowboys. The handkerchiefs were then brought into use by placing them in bandit fashion just below tho eyes, so that the wearer could breathe treely without sucking the dust into his lungs. After the alkall area had been passed, the handkerchief would be pulied down and left around the neck. it or UTUAL THEATER (Formerly Cosmos) Penn. at Ninth 8t.

But the senator made a dive for the lap of “Dynamite Smith,” his fo: ter father—in the story. It may have been because he had “taken a great fancy to him,” as Ray announced to all and sundry, or it may have been because he rattled an alluring toy, made of a pair of dice strung hori- zontally across a sling-shot handle. “They're all cuckoo!’ thought the little wise one.
