My Dear Sir-As one of the committee

my sincere regret that any word should

'BLUEBIRD' CALLS
THE LITTLE FOLK
Answer Heard on the Stage
of the BelascO.

1t was "children's day on the stage
of the Belasco Theater yesterday The
Blue Bird called them. 1t was a magic
call that went out, call for little folks
to take part in the adventures of Mytyl
and Tyltyl in the Maeterlinck spectacle
play next week: and they came from far
and near.
When the youngsters focked about the
stage entrance. it made a sight just as
II the Pied Piper of Hamelin had called
them hither. They were ushered upon
the dark and gloomy stage-more than
fifty of them-and there a process de-
cidedly non-poetical and strictly bust
nesslike took place. for 1t was the old
Darwinian process of natural selection
and the survival Of the fittest." and
only a comparatively few survived.
There were children of all sizes and
shapes, some pretty and some gawky,
some clever and others awkward, and
they were all lined up on the apron"
of the stage, while a large, critical, and
somewhat unsympathetic gentleman in
spected them TO see If they would suit
the purposes Of The Blue Bird" Most
of the time he was shaking his head
dubiously. and when he had completed
his labors not more than twenty girls,
and hardly that many boys, had been
chosen.
1t followed, therefore. that there were
many youthful histrionic ambitions nip
ped in the bud, and many fond mothers
left the theater indignant because their
little ones had been leTr out In the cold.
There will be another lineup of vOlun-
teers at the BelasCo to-day, because many
more children are necessary for the spec
taCle than have been chosen.
The presence of children in The Blue
Bird" forms one OF its most delightful
features and more than fifty OF Wash
ington's prettiest little folks will be
needed before the quota is complete. Re
hearsals will be continued until the open
ing of the spectaCle-play next Monday
night.
