As befits a comedian, he, said it solemnly, almost ex thedra, and then went on “It's so full of benefits, In fact, that he doesn't get time to eat. We began playing at benefits 25 years ago, and today Zet cally to at benefits by the children of the nts for whose cltarities we played @ quarter of a century ago. We are beginning to feel convineed that it has become & tradition with ‘em that they hand down from generation to generation. Almost a reflex action, you know, so that no sooner da they think of a benefit than immediately they think of the Avon Comedy Four. “Well, we like it—when they give us time for dinner. But lots of times they don’t. Of course, people think that all an actor has to do is to make wise cracks for an hour or so & day, und then he's free all the rest of the time. They don't realize that putting .on and taking off your malke-up and see- ing that your scene properly is set is something else again “We played benefits all the way from Kalamazoo to St. Augustine and trom Maine to New Mexico. WASHINGTON, 29 Pt MARCH De Witt Newing. VWRITING plays for a pastimo that eventually changed his career is the story of De Witt Newing, author of the desert romance now playing at the Shubert-Belasco Theater and originally called “The White Sheik." After several seasons in the role of one of the crooks in “Turn to the Right,” Mr. Newing organized acom pany to play repertory of Americea succosses in Australia, Indin and tne Orient. It was while the company was appearing in Indla that the au- thor was stricken with the dreaded ! fever of that country After spending nearly four months in a hospital, Mr. Newlng was com- pelled to romain in this foreign land for three months more until he was strong enough to stand the long journey home. During his stay time hung heavy and to while the tedious hours Mr. Newing wrote plays—how many he does not disclose. When he returned to the gay Chite Way Tom Kane, president of the Cen- tury Play Co, asked him to bring some of them to his office. “I m produce them if they are good, said. : Next morning the ambitious younsg man was in the office long before the president arrived. He had with him about 10 plays, including “The Love of Shu Shong,” “Dawn of the Moun- 2,” “The Unseen Way' and the y ‘mow called “Seduction” Ar. Kane immediately contracted for | some of the plays, but the author was reluctant gbout the last named, saying, “When I ot enough rovalty | from those you have ! am going to| produce ‘Seduction’ myself.” And| this he has done, in conj an old friend, Frank Wilcox. i Mr. Hewing is the author of “Jack of Hearts,” Fisk O'Hara's starring | vehicle of last season, and each week | recelves a substantial check fro the popular Irish comedian for “The Great Mogul” Mr. Fiske's current | play BEGINNING TODAY AT THREE A PERFECT PHOTOPLAY THE “AIR MAIL” “Nor Snow, Nor Rain, Nor Wind, Nor Night Can Stay the Pilot in His Flight.” (The WMotte of the L.
