- Belle.” THEATRICAL WORLD| iAOURNS BELASCO Hundreds of Messages Ex- oress Regret Over Death of Dean of Stage. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, May 15.—The theatrical world was in mourning today for David | Belasco, grand old man of the stage, creator of stars, wizard as director and Pproducer. ! I his seventy-seventh year, he died of heart disease yesterday after vir- tually a lifetime devoted to the stage. “1 shall retire when I am carried feet first out of the theater,” he said on his seventh-fifth birthday anniversary. never did retire, and there was a dra-, matic touch to his death. “I am fight- ing for my life,” he said as his daughter Reina (Mrs. Morris Gest) went to his | bedside, in the Hotel Gladstone, a mo- ment before the end. True to the Belasco tradition, his| latest play, “Tonight or Never,” went on s usual last night. Mr. Belasco was stricken but a few hours before his death. He had appar- ently recovered from a siege of pneu- monia which had kept him abed several months last Winter. Earlier this week he had reserved eight tickets for the fights tonight in Madison Square Garden. Hundreds Send Messages. Sunday he went motoring. Tuesday night he felt ill, but refused to let his nurse summon a doctor. At 8 a.m. yes- terday the doctor was called and re-| mained with the 3tage master until the | end at 4:15 p.m. Hundreds of messages of condolence reached his daughter. Typical were: Lee Shubert—He .was without doubt the greatest producer the theater has ever known. George M. Cohan—He was the finest combination of genuine artistry and really showmanship. David Warfield—He was a man who never stopped at anything to make his production perfect and superb. Sam H. Harris—The greatest the- atrical producer of all time. William A. Brady—The greatest di- rector. Charles B. Dillingham—Master of | them all. Instances of Stagecraft Cited. In the words of Daniel Frohman, who brought him from San_ Francisco to | Broadway 49 years ago, Belasco had a rofound journalistic instinct, an in- Eorn grasp of what interests people. As typical instances of the producer’s ability to thrill an audience Mr. Froh- man cited Mrs. Leslie Carter swinging from & bell in “The Heart of Mary- land” and the wounded hero in “The Girl of the Golden West,” hiddén in | the loft by the heroine, being be- | trayed by blood dripping from the | ceiling. 3elasco was a realist. The stairs in his plays were real stairs. The flowers were real flowers. In his latest suc- cess, dealing with the career of an opera singer, the star, Helen Gahagan, sings an operatic aria. On the stage first as a child, Belasco had played 200 parts while still a young man. At his death he had produced some 400 plays, of which he had writ- ten 150. ‘Will Be Buried Sunday. Among his outstanding successes were “A Grand Army Man,” “Th ger Rose,” “Tiger, Tiger, ‘The Gold Diggers,” “Kiki” and “Lulu | He starred, among others, Prances Starr, Mary Pickford (he changed her name from Gladys Smith), ' Ina Claire, Lenore Ulrich, Fay Bainter and David Warfield. | Besides his daughter, Mr. Belasco leaves three brothers, Edward, Wlllt!rl Stage Dean'Dead __DAVID BELASCO. |fcund recreation in going over the manuscripts of plays and in occasional attendance at boxing bouts and base ball games. He did not smoke and took only one drink a year—a glass of champagne on his bidthday anniversary. “Hearts of Oak,” which he wrote in 1880, was regarded by Mr. Belasco as his favorite among all those which he had written or staged, but he con- sidered “Deburau,” “The Merchant of Venics,” with David Warfield as Shy- lock, and “Mimi” as his outstanding contributions to the art of the theater. His Studio an Interesting Study. His studio was an interesting study of curlos and antiques. His great carved oak table is said to have dated back to the sixteenth century when it occupied a place in an Italian palace his chair was made from a pew of Shakespeare’s church at Stratford-On- Avon, while the tiles of the huge fire- place behind his desk were sald to | have been stolen from the Alhambra at Grenada two centuries ago. There were a large number of mementoes of Napoleon, including a lock of the Em- peror's hair, sealed in a locket and acccmpanied by authenticated testi- mony of its genuineness. Mr. Belasco's collection of books was said to be the most complete dramatic library in the world It was David Belasco who was credited with having changed the name of Gladys Smith to Mary Pickford. She went to the producer with a note from Blanche Bates and after he heard her recite said he would give her a part. “But Gladys Smith is no name for an actress,” said Mr. Belasco. What name do you like best?” ‘Mary.” “All Tight,” said Mr. Belasco, “Mary it is. Now, what are the names of some of your relatives?” The young actress recalled the names of a number of relatives and was inter- rupted as she uttered that of her uncle, John Pickford. “That's the mame” exclaimed Mr. Belasco. “Mary Pickford!"” And thus Mary Pickford became a member of the cast of “The Warrens of | Virginia.” One of the possessions which Mr. | Belasco held sacred and which none but himself ever saw was his “violet book,” | containing many of these little flowers | pressed between its leaves. One of the | earliest recollections of his mother was | don't like Gladys, either,” she sald. | | membef, aboveusll things, the .

LONDON, May 15 (#).—The London press today regretted, in both news and | editorial columns, the passing of David | Belasco. Long, warmly appreciative | obituary sketches told the story of his | life and successes, dwelling particularly upon his eminence as a producer. The Dasily Mail described him as 1 “perhaps the finest producer the world | has ever seen.” and said: “The thea- | { ter has lost by his death one of its | | greatest personalities—I should almost | say the greatest of all.” The Times, emphasizing the great- ness of his stagecraft, said: “As a | stage mefiiclan he was supreme in his place and pericd. There are few greatey names in the annals of the American e.” The Post called him the “most fa- mous, if not the greatest, of American | playwrights and producers.” !

Mr. Belasco's predilection for the| theater asserted itself when he was only | 14 years old. At that age he becam: | author of his first play, “Jim Black, or | the Regulator’s Revenge.” He fitted up an empty coal bin at his home for a! studio and shortly after obtained his first theatrical' job—call boy at the Baldwin Theater, San Francisco. He eventually became stage manager at that theater and later held similar positions at the Grand Opera House and the Metropolitan Theater in San Francisco. During thos: years Mr. Belasco came | in contact with such stars as Edwin| Booth, John McCullough, E. A. Soth- ern, Edwin Adams, Adelaide Nielson and others. 'Meanwhile, he had been spending all his spare time dramatizing | Tnovels, adapting foreign plays and doing | original work. Prcm his position as stage manager, he w-nt with Dion| Boucicault, whom he served as private| secretary for a time. The play. “La Belle Russe,” written by Mr. Belasco in 1879, gained recogni- tion for him in New York when it was | successfully produced at Wallack's| Theater. _Three years later he was| indueced to go to New York by the| Mallory brothers, who engaged him as| stage manager and stock dramatist for | their Madison Squarz Theater. There he began his real climb to fame, co tinued it as stage manager for Daniol Frohman at the Old Lyccum Theater | and eventually struck out to attain his greatest achievements on his own a count. On the seventy-fifth anniversary of his birthday, Mr. Belasco was at Atlantic City directing the production of a new | play preliminary to putting it on Broad- | ‘way. Up to that time it was estimated that he had staged about 400 plays, of | which he had written or helped to write 150. He announced then that his | production schedule had béen planned | for the ensuing eight years with 37 plays listed for presentation. | Acquired Theater in 1902. It was not until 1902 that Mr. Belasco acquired a theater of his own. He spent | six years and nearly $1,000,000 in litiga- tion with Klaw and Erlanger and other theatrical syndicate managers to e: tablish his independence. Later he sc- quired interests in theaters in many of | the principal cities. At his stud'o over the Belasco Theater in New York, he | maintained for several years a Bureau | of Playwrighting, which was said to | have cost him $20,000 a year. Thousands | of aspiring playwrights submitted manu- scripts, none of which was found ac- ceptable, and he discontinued the ex- periment His own method of writing a play | was once described by Mr, Belasco after | repeated requests to tell how he worked. | Pirst of all, he made up his mind as | 10 the period he wanted.

In these attempts at realistic playwrighting, he threw him- | self into every passion known to the stage, As late.as his seventy-fifth year Mr. Belasco's workday ran from 15 to 18 hours. .
