AMUSEMENTS. “Belasco’s Studios’” FTHEY say David Belasco has become very much interested in pictur: nd he has opcned a very luxurious studio and offices in Hollywood. Ims ported costly rugs adorn the parquet floors and priceless paintings adorn the walls, and all that. The great wizard of the wurely entitled to his well comfort and luxuries. It w. that in the old days. ‘The master used to have what he called a studio on Fifty-fifth street in Gotham. It wasn't much of a studio compared to his wonderful art museum atop the present Belasco Theater on West ¥orty-fourth street, whero it s said he possesses the finest private art collection In America When his gtudio was on Fifty-fifth ®treet, ‘'way back yonder in the days of Mrs. Leslie Carters first metro- politan” triumph in “The Heart of Aaryland,” it occupied just two big rooms and the furnishings weren't anything to rave about. Then he atarted to get rich, and day by day in every way he has grown richer and richer. But he hung onto the stage is earned Grace Georg‘e’s New Play. €O women ltke to be courted?” Is sonal insuit to another? Can a naglected wife be blamed for seeking the admiration ¢ . r It s on these threc questions that M. Paul Geraldy, a keen, analytical playwright, has founded the plot of “St Je Voulais,” which i3 being pre- sented under the title, “She Wanted to Know,” with Grace George as the tar. Miss George herself made the trans- iation of the comedy, which has been ing for eight months in the h capital. She also made the slation of the two plays of M QGeraldy’s which were seen previously n this country, namely, “To Love n which Miss George herself starred, | and “The Nest,” which aleo attained success. *'She Wanted to Know' appealed to me,” Miss George sald recently, “be- cause it ssemed to contain elements «f interest to both sexes.

An analysis Sarl anitles” may enable one to forecast guess that it hasyunless some one devises a method of putting a thr. ring circus on a stage of ordinary size. For Carroll has managed to owd 108 girls and 20 comedians,'to ¥ nothing of a back-stage force of | €0 electricians, property men, scene shifters, etc., and 40 whirlwind scenes into the space allotted for the pres- entation of dramatic plays with casts of but 10 and 12 persons, with a per- formance crowded into the two hours which custom decrees as the limit of an audience's endurance. Dissatisfied with the blase flappers who haunt the offices of Broadway in soarch of work, Carroll conceived the idea of touring the country himself in search of youthful beauty, for beauty i8 his chief aim in “Vanitles.” While other producers hav: opress through sheer magnificence, of the Carroll | aa sought t massive How to Direct a Picture. but 1s " = not | G domineered by policy in direct! of Henry King, £cenarios, them,” the man who made “Tol'able David,” “The White Sister” and “Romola.” He uses the “script” of a story merely as a general guide, not as a set of blueprints which mu be followed minute detall.

And Belasco would sit there at his desk and work. The rich, rumbling strains of Yiddish har- mony would come filtering through the windows, softened and beautlfled, and hence some of his finest inspira- tions for his plays. But its different now. If David Belasco wants a little musical Inspi- ration In his gorgeous studio atop the Belusco Theater, he nonchalantly sends out for a ten-piece orchestra, and it you happen to be a friend o' the family and you are in the vicinity you will undoubtedly be asked in to have a cup o' tea and listen to the music. either before or after she is married has not asked her mirrored reflection whether or not she is popular with men, and has not felt a faint tugsing of resentment in her heart at the popularity of some feminine friend with the opposite sex, although at the same time her brain may be censor- ing that friend’s conduct? “Hardly a woman In the world, whether she confesses it or not.’ Le Goulois, a French newspaper. criticiging the comedy, said: “Tt written agreeably and artistically, | and the lace-like psychology has | helped its success.” aid “Mr. Geraldy is a poet, that is, sensi- t He keeps his emotion or irony which has a charm equal to| none.

Miss Hutchinson, however, does not like the movies: but she does like pantomime, and her success as Louls- ette, in “A' Story of Pierret,” during the holiday season, as well as her performances as Phrynette in the oarlier Ram's Head pantomime, “L’Enfant Prodlgue,” won her high praise. She professes a genuine love of comedy, and whenever cast in a com- edy role has acquitted herself with credit. Her Cecily Cardew, in Wilde's “The Importance of Being Earnest,” and Cecily Ann, In Bertram Bloch's last-season comedy success of that name, won the approval of the local critics. She is also greatly interested in character work, and the finy bit, the little old lady, Miss Fullerton, in Alice Brown's “Joint Owners in Spain,” during the first Ram's Head season was a performance to be re- membered. Her outstanding work of the seri- ous, romantic type includes her por- trayal of Lady Gregory's hero “Grania,” and her Gypsy girl, Eznar- za, in Lord Dunsany’s “The Tents of the Arabs,” the first Ram's Head sea- son, and Francesca da Rimini, in Phillips’ “Paole and Frarfces last year.
