miere. In accordance with the policy
of the Morosco management it was
tried out on the coast by the Burbank
Stock Company and was unanimously
adjudged success there before it
was sent to the East.
A variety in the way of theatrical
entertainment is offered at the Be-
lasco next week when the $1,000, 900
spectacle, "a Daughter of the Gods" 4"
featuring Annette Kellermann, will
be presented.
The film, which was pl> .S,f by
William Fox, was directed by Herbert
Brennon who also produced "Nep-
tunes Daughter" for the Fox Com
pany. 1t was produced in New York
several weeks ago and was such an
instantaneous success that the length
of its run has been extended indef-
nitely.
The scenes, which are described as
being of such magnificent splendor as
to take first place among the modern
screen productions, were taken at
Jamaica where for nearly a year a
company numbering many hundreds
worked daily. Thousands of feet of
film were taken before the picture was
finally finished. L. M. BELL.

From Acrobat to Theatrical
Producer Is Morosco's Record

In less than a year he had gained suf-
ficient knowledge of the work to assume
:ull charge Of the financial end of the
business, and through his natural ten
dencies, helped the elder Morosco in the
management of a stock company, which
at that time occupied the theater. He
remained in this capacity for three years,
making study of all lines Of the theat-
rical business, until he felt capable of
doing business for himself. At this time
he began to cast about for a theater
and learned that the Burbank theater In
Los Angeles was available
He made a hurried trip there and in
spite Of his youth. convinced the owners
that he was the right man. His rise then
was phenomenal.
At present he IS personally conducting
the rehearsals Of THE Brat" which he
will present at the Belasco Theater to-
morrow evening, and which will reach
New York together with Canary Cot
tage" about the first of the year. With
these two attractions he will have five
shows on Broadway. which is a record
never before equalled. And all this for
a man still in his thirties.

The "Cohan Revue"
Out Cohans All Else.


Out -Cohans All Else.
It has been written upon many
occasions that all our American re-
vues required was some one to write
them who knew how Money has been
literally poured into them, the best
available talent in the world has been
secured for them, the greatest scenic
investiturists extant have contributed
their art and the most inventive and
daring creations of costuminal en-
bellishment have been revealed by
them, and they have done little more
than dazzle the eye, tickle the ear,
or momentarily arrest the curiosity
of the auditor.
Why? Simply because any ten Of
them did not possess enough wit and
melody to make one genuine travesty,
such as George NJ Cohan is said to
have created in "The Cohan Revue
1916" Cohan is an author composer,
a shrewd Snowman and not a mere
theatrical huckster. He knows the
American public-he caters to them,
he satisfies them and they trust him.
He has message to deliver and he
delivers it expeditiously, thoroughly
and effectively. He does not write
his theme around scenery or some
costuminal surprise, his mind is not
on spectacular effect or anatomic dis
closure; but on satire; and to that
end he labors with the result that
"The Cohan Revue 1oI6' is said to
be the snappiest, quickest, brightest
travesty ever written about the mod
ern theater and things appertaining
to the stage.
George NJ. Cohan sends here for
the Interpretation of the revue abso-
lutely the same players whose suita-
bility for their particular service was
demonstrated in New York City
when it received its premier last Feb
ruary-Richard Carle, Valli Valli,
Elizabeth NJ. Murray, Charles Win
ninger, Miss Juliet, Harry Bulger,
Lila Rhodes, James c. Marlowe,
Grace Nolan, Little Billy, Harry Dolf,
Boyle and Brazil, Frederic Santley
and many others.
