rf. ing { th ie x About Plays and Players By BIDE DUDLEY OBBIE WATSON, comedian, has come into possession of some- thing interesting, It is an Egyptian lock, of the sort used years ‘Ago to lock up the harems of Egypt. It has a big key, and when this is Rurned in the socket a bell rings sev- ’ral times. Then a couple of clasps @pring up and handcuff the person fwho {s turning the key. “The idea is this," said Bobbie last might. “These old Egyptians were @fraid their ladies would be stolen nd they locked the girls up with these big padlocks, Every time the handcuff caught a love burglar. they tried him on a charge of petit larceny and put him to death, The locks mever failed to hold the would-be thieves, and a lovely time was had by all every time thé bell rang.” Bobbie didn’t say what he was go- ing to do with the lock. He refused to cell it, however, to several Friars who made him good offers for it, A NEW FARCE. A new American farce entitled “The First Night," written by Edgar J. MacGregor and Samuel Ruskin Gold- Jng, is announced to go Into rehearsal foon for a Broadway summer engage- ment. Mr. MacGregor assures us It is hot a bedroom affair, A BOX OFFICE RADIO SET. The Globe Theatre's box office is to have a radiophone set and, according to the press agent, it will be used to feccive seat reservations from pas- #engers on incoming ships who want fo see ‘Good Morning Dearie." Sounds rather perpendicular, but mebbe! HENRY, HOW COULD You? Henry Hull, of “The Cat and the Canary," called the show's press agent into a dressing room at the Na- tional yesterday and said he had a good idea for a publicity stunt. “I thought it out just as I was going to sleep last night,” he said. _ “Yes, yes; go on!" came from the ager P. A. "But when I woke up this morn- tos"—. = “You'd forgotten it.” “That's right. How did you know?" * “Guessed!"" . “Well, guess what the stunt was then,” chirped Henry Hull. And fhat ended the conference, GARCEE TO REST. } & note from Miriam Garcee is just fm from Philadelphia.

Alliterative geniuses of the Garson Studio out in Hollywood recently com- peted in a contest to appropriately, name a young Russian, a cafeteria worker, who will play a small part, in Clara Kimball Young's next picture. ‘These titles included ‘Baron of the Beanery,” “Scion of the Sink’ and the ‘Count of the Cafeteria." When the foreigner heard that he was being kidded he rounded up his tormentors and said: “You are mistake. I work not in the keetchen, It was my duty to use the—what you say—the mop. I should be more proud should you call me “Le Marquis de Ia Mop."* And he got his wish, roe NERVOUS, Through some oversight at the studio gate, the author had slid through and was standing in the magic presence of Rex Ingram, di- rector of super-specials. Like most of us, he carried with him an {dea for a big picture. He also was lug- ging along a burning desire to see his idea spread on the silver screen, Rex, a kindhearted sort of chap, told him to "shoot", when he asked if he could tell him the story. But the author was frightfully nervous and insisted upon biting his nails ail dur- ing the recitation. “Excuse me,” interrupted Ingram, himself growing nervous, “but I'm sure I can get just as good an idea of your plot if you stop talking tooth and nail.” ART AND ATMOSPHERE! ‘phe atmosphere in ‘Cap'n Kidd,’ Eddie Polo's first independently-pro- duced chapter-play, is described as ‘perfect.’ “Beautiful Lady Janice, interpreted by Kathleen Myers, wrapped in silken luxury, breathes forth from the screen a scent of lavender and old lace which seems to reach out and envelop the beholder. The sea scenes are redolent of wind-whipped waters, tar and black powder.” “One can almost hear the grind of cutlass on cutlass, the roar of cannon and the thud of solid shot as the old muzzle loaders are fired."* “Buccaneers and buried treasure, flint locks and foul play, pirate ships and pistols! Yes, all this is promised in ‘Cap'n Kidd." "” “And to cap It all, Eddie Polo, the serial king, all dresesd up as a dash- ing and daring Cavaller as the hero."* “What Art! What Atmosphere!"* What word-warbling! P. S.—Only the last line is ours, The rest came from a chortling press agent. = HOPE WAS BUSY.
