{ | | re About Plays and Players By BIDE DUDLEY EE FAEAR Editor,” says a letter D which has come to our desk. “T am waitress in the rail- road restaurant in Troy and have stage talent. About a year ago u New York theatrical manager had lunch here and he said he would put me in © show some time. I have forgot his | name, but he is rather tall and wears alight gray suit. Having finished my | plano and other music lessons, I am now ready to take him up. How can $1 get in touch with this man? Maybe you know who I mean. If so kindly {send me his name, or get him to send }me an application blank. He also is smooth-face, I think. If he can't re- "member, tell I am the girl who brought him the mince pie and he said tt was the best he ever ate and com- Pifimented me on my hands being small and white. Let me hear from you. Yours, Mary B.——" Will the guilty manager kindly hold up his hand? We have Mary's ad- dress and will arrange matters if he is ready to make a star of her. HERE'S A ROMANCE. It was discovered late yesterday that @ marriage license was issued on March 31 by City Clerk Cruise to Humphrey Bogart, now *playing in “Up the Ladder’ at the Playhouse, and Helen Ménken, appearing in “Drifting,'’ both of which plays are under the William A. Brady banner, Denial was made that the wedding bas taken place, but reports say the young people have been house hunt- ing THESE WILL APPEAR. ‘The complete cast of ‘The Idiot,”’ which will be presented to-morrow af- ternoon at the Republic Theatre for the benefit of the Babies’ Welfare Federation, consists of Arthur Byron, Reginald Pole, Estelle Winwood, Mar- garet Mower, Thurston Hall, Byron Foulger, Leonard Cox, Beatrice Wood, (Isel! Munro and J, Harry Irvine. “LADY BUG” TO-MORROW. Philip Klein's production of the farce, ‘‘Lady Bug," with John Cum- berland and Marie Nordstror: in the leading roles, will have its initial Presentation at Norwalk, Conn., to- morrow night. DISCIPLINING AL. The “Bombo" chorus made a roar to Al Jolson last night. “ “Darn you!" they sald. ‘'You go out there and keep on joking and singing new songs until you add half an hour to the show. How about the poor overworked chorus?’ “Tush!” replied Al. ‘Be good and I'll give you a big party, on the stage Saturday night," *Accepted,"’ said the chorus. And ¢he mutiny was quelled. OUR OWN NOTABLES. FAINTING BERTHA—Her real mame was Nellle Delmonico Custer, but her father was a Pullman con- ductor, so they called her Bertha. At the age of seventeen she developed a habit of fainting on the least provo- tion, when in the vicinity of a some man and, as a result she d a scar on her left leg caused by bite of a dog she fell on one tim tt was Bertha’s custom to earn her living by fainting. “Whoop!"’ she Would yell, as she began to faint, and the handsome man would catch her in his arms and soothe her with kind- words. Bertha would recover in a yw minutes and go home, taking a taxicab and the nice man's watch and wallet. One day she made the mistake of fainting and falling into the arms of a plain clothes detective, who arrested her for ripping three uttons off his vest. She was sent to ® prison in New Jersey where her Tate was bitter and the mosquitoes bit her. There she died at the age ‘of twenty-seven and was buried by an undertaker whose wife already had picked his pockets. GUILD HAS ANOTHER. The Theatre Quild announces still nother production this season. It ts “What the Public Wants,” by Ar- mold Bennett. There is no date set for the opening, but the play will follow “Back to Methifselah” at the Garrick, THE LUCKY ROOM. There is a lucky dressing room at ‘the Vanderbilt Theatre. While rene” was at that house, several 4members of the chorus using the woom graduated into parts in glay. Now that “Letty Pepper coming in Lyle Andrews, manage the Vanderbilt, has had a number of yoquests to use the room from chorus members of Charlotte Green- wood's company, He's thinking o making the applicants draw lots for gt ; NOW IT'S “DAFFY-DILL.” Arthur Hammerstein has decided fo change the title of Frank Tinney's gnew starring vehicle from for Tat” to “Duffy-Dill.” He found a muscical organization sponsored by ules Hurtig was using “Tit for Tat.” A NEW CONCERN.

Since the Weather Man out at Unia versal City way has concentrated om cold, dark, bitter days, Art Acord and Frank Mayo are the only Universal stars who are at all happy. They can dress to suit the weather, be= cause the films in which they are working call for winter togs—but the balance—just see how they must “suffer.” Marie Prevost is forced to appea? and act daily in the sheerest, low= necked, short-sleeved and abbreviated skirted gowns. Between scenes she, ‘hovers about the electric ‘heater. George Walsh is trying not J shiver in “With Stanley in Africa,” Harry Myers has to look comfortable in a regular Gunga Din uniform while playing Robinson Crusoe, and Pris< cilla Dean doesn’t wear anything fit for frigid weather in “Under Two Flags.” Acord and Mayo are playing int farthest north scenes and are smiling) the while NOT A SHIFTER. Doris May, who was told to look and act as flapperish as she could in “Gay, and Devilish,” R-C’s next release, didn't go thé limit in her makeup. We lamped a projection room showing of the film yesterday, and Miss May, doesn’t even wear one single paper clip Maybe the Shifter foolishness has not reached the Coast, but surely Miss May must have heard of its Brooklyn activities, and she sure looks strange in her flapperest of flapper outfita without the absurd badge of tho Shifter, It is understood that a committee of Shifters from the Gas House District is going to write Miss May and invite her to join. Knowing Doris May, we're here to gamble that her answer will be de- cldedly laconic and spelled with tha two letters oO. . “ORPHANS” TO CLOSE. D. W. Griffith announced rather * unexpectedly last night that the “Orphans'’ would, after some 200 odd showings at the Apollo Theatre, come in out of the “Storm.” In other words, the big picture of the French Revolution starring the Sisters Gish will end its long run on April 1 Mr. Griffith, in his announcement, stated that, although the “Orphans of the Storm'’ had been showing to a 500 weekly profit during Lent, he s forced to end the long run be- ause of an iron-bound contract with United Artists. STUMPED. A Mack Sennett company was busy! last week shooting scenes in darkest Mexico. Strange as it may seem, the natives had not flocked around to wit- ness the actors and actresses working, “Where are all the natives?” asked one of the players, “I thought they'd be crowding around us. I don’t be~ lieve I've ever seen a real Mexican what are they like ?’’ “You see that little dot over thera in the distance?" asked another player, pointing towards the horizon The other nodded “Well,"’ continued the informant, a Mexican or a stump. You ju watch it for two hours, and if it moves it's a stump FLASH-BACKS. Robert C. Bruce, whose new series of “Wilderness Tales" is being re+ leased by Educational, is back in tha heart of the great Northwest seeking new backgrounds to play with photo graphically. ®» Bobby Vernon, always seen as 4 country bumpkin, plays a male flap- per in ‘ ‘Tis the Bull.” He also masquerades as a bull fighter. If you want to know where you'll it when you are President or tha President's wife, you can see for your~ self in the latest issue of Kinograms. For the first time, the White Houss “stars’’ in a movie. Lloyd Bacon, son of “Lightnin’* and “Ham”? Hamilton are screen act« ing together again. Ham and Bacon make a good movie meal.

Mason Hopper says he won't yield the palm to Ziegfeld or any ona else for an aggregation of beauty. Hopper, (whose first name is NOT finale) is directing Helene Chadwick, Slaire Windsor and Mae Busch in a big film and that is sure some “Beauty, Chorus.” John M.
