David Belasco's mail must be very

saying a great deal. can't imagine
him dreaming peacefully over his morn
ing egg or toying nonchalantly with his
matutinal kipper. During the past week
he must have been absolutely over

into making dangerous utterances. In
moments of emotion many a gallant,
Laughing lad deliriously ruins his sub
sequent tranquility. And after the
glittering success Of "Zaza"-a first

annals of the New York stage-Mr.
Belasco made target of himself Said
me: mine years ago a woman came to
me, knelt at my feet, and begged me
with tears in her eyes to make an
actress of her. Ladies and gentlemen,

OF course, Belasco felt happy-with a
happiness that comes but too seldom in
a lifetime. But what has he done for
himself? In my minds eye I see a pic

circle of 1.-THE yet anxious ladies, kneel-

is an incipient Sarah, she has a hundred
other pretexts. She owns a helpless
mommer, whom she is bound to sup
port. She has a graduated array of lit
tie brothers, all waiting to be educated
at her hands. She wants to lift the
stage from its slough. She is anxious
to act just to show the maligners of
the stage that it is possible to be great
and good at the same time. She is per-
siStent and insistent, and she knows
how to make your life misera BILE. She
is generally as vain as a peacock, and
in nine cases out of ten her desire for
the stage is due to nothing more than
vanity-a longing to place herself where
she can be gazed at by the multitude.
