After the marriage Lady Isabers jeal-

DUNNE MADE HIS STAGE
DEBUT IN CALIFORNIA

John w. Dunno, who comes to the
Orpheum next week with Mary Marble
and Sam Chip in the sketch act en-
titled "In Old Edam,' began his stage
career in California, coming here in the
sixties and making the trip from san
Francisco to San Jose by stage coach'
Il was a boy then" says Mr.. Dunno, in
recalling his experiences, land SEEM
ingly destined to be a printer. One OF
the first shows / went out with was
repertoire organization. We used to
make frequent starts and then come
back to San Francisco to eat. Then
we'd start all over again. Perhaps the
best known member today OF that olu
company is David Belasco. He was
acting then, and he and I were both
among the younger members. Let me
see-we played The Lady of Lyons,
and Under the Gaslight,' and Camille
and a lot of old faVorites. l think in
The Lady of Lyons / played Gaspar.
I had a line to Claude Melnotte-l de-
livered your note as you directed, and
they greeted me with blows! Blows!
Blows to a French citizen! That line
always got applause, and my youthful
pride would nearly burst.
after that l went on tour with
Robert Fulford and Annie PiXley. One
of our engagements was at Phoebe, Ne
Vada, mining town that doomed for a
couple of years and then died. we
reached it by stage, and had to show
in tent. I was playing juveniles at
the time, and opposite me in the femi-
nine juvenile roles was Annie Adams,
mother of Maude Adams. Blanche
Bates parents were also members of
the company. On this trip to Phoebe
little Blanche. who could not have been
more than two years old, sat in my lap
the entire distance. l told her that

home, and she challenged me to do it

s AND VIEWS OF THE DRAMA LOCAL AND GENERAL

ia h1e and MANY other ludicrous situa-
tions arise which compel explanations.
The finale presents explanations and a
general forgiveness.
Jean Hathaway as the mother and
Estelle Praeger, the daughter, both are
well equipped for their parts The
chorus numbers, it is announced, will
be striking in their costuming, and spe-
cial electrical effects are expected ma
terially to enhance the general effect.
Among the chorus numbers which will
add zest to the playlet are "A Runa-
way Honeymoon" I'm Going to Get
Myself a Man" Mother Hasn't Spoke
to Father Since" and "All She Gets
from the Iceman Is Ice"
An addition Will.be made to the COM
pany next week-Albert Leonard, who
comes from New York and who will be
seen in character parts. Mr.. Leonard
has heretofore been in vaudeville. In
addition to his character acting, he is
said to be very clever dancer.
,UNIQUE-Huntress, known as fe-
male impersonator, heads the new bill.
He appears in some bewildering gowns,
it is announced, and has payed extend
ed engagements in Europe. He brings
his own special scenery of eleven drops
with him. De Verne and Van, singing,
dancing and talking comedians, come
mighty recommended from eastern play
houses.
For his second weeks offering Edwin
7. Emery will present Johnny on the
Spot" in which he will have the prin-
cipal part and will be supported by the
Unique players. The little play is
rafting light comedy story, telling tho
tricks played upon an old man by his
son and a chum. 1t abounds in laugh
able situations, and will give the mem
bers of the company the best chance
they have yet had. Mr. Emery's part
will afford him many opportunities to
display his versatility. Mr.. Vane will
appear in part for which he is well
suited Al Franks is the uncle, and

motion pictures will complete the pro

BELASCo PUTS BAN ON
DIVORCES AND cHlLDLESS

Lots of babies and no acquaintance
with the divorce courts. Such were the
unusual qualifications David Belasco
demanded of the men and women to
whom he awarded roles in Leo Ditrich-
STEMS comedy, rs Matrimony Fail
ure?" which was produced at the
Belasco theater, New York city, Au-
gust "a.
Belasco has been able to make good
in his unique experiment. He required
for the production just fifty-five peo-
pie, and with the exception of two of
these-Miss Jane Grey CORNER leading
woman of the Los Angeles Belasco)
and Frank Worthing-he has been able
to carry out his Commendable domes-
tic ideas in every detail.
To every applicant for a position
three questions were asked by Mr.. Be
lasco.
Are you married.
Have you any children"
''HaVe you ever been diVorced?"
Hundreds came; only flfty-tive could
be chosen. Score upon score were able
to fill out all the requirements of art,
but few could qualify along these rig
orous domestic lines
AS to Miss Jane Grey and Frank
Worthing, the only unmarried people
who could persuade Mr.. Belasco to en-
gage them, it may be remarked that
he did so only after they had given
him convincing proof that they were
engaged to be married, though not to
each other.

AN INDEPENDENT VIEW
FROM A DENVER CRITIC

The Pacific coast, where the people
live joyously, where the pursuit of
is proverbiaI and money
flows freely, is ripe enough now to
originate and support it's own amuse-
ments without being dependent upon a
group of men in New York. Denver is
becoming famous as good theatrical
town. The people here expect their
amusements as regularly as their
meals, and patronize them freely
When Denver, a city of 1000 miles
from one seaboard and 1000 from an
other, is able to give a famous prima
donna the most successful concert fin
ancially of any city in the United
States is not that an indication that
the people will patronize the best and
most artistic things in the amusement
world? And that is just what Denver
did for Nine. Emma Calve.-Denver
Republican.
