"EIperience" Breaking More
RRcnrdH

Experience" aptly described by its
producers as the most wonderful
play in America" continues to shat
ter theatrical records. In Chicago last
week, at the Garrick Theater, 'Ex-
perience" was given thirteen times in
seven days Including three perform
ances on Washington's Birthday and
the gross receipts were slightly in ex-
cess of 100000. In Springfield, Mass,
the same week, the Eastern "Exper-
ience" company, playing a return en-
gagement of a second week in a city
which is usually played only one
night, took in over $4,000. Inasmuch
as George V. Hobart, author of "Ex-
perience," draws a straight royalty of
10 per cent of the gross receipts, 1t
can easily be seen that he was paid
approximately $500 for his play in
one week. 1t has been estimated that
Mr. Hobart will take in more than
$150,OO0 in royalties on Experience"
during the next twelve months, and
that William Elliott, F. Ray Comstock
and Morris Gest, who produced and
own the play, will make half a mill
lion dollars profit during the next
two seasons. The play has already
earned more than 100000 profit for
this enterprising firm, which stuck by

Marilynn Miller, the vivacious young
dancer in The Passing Show of 1915"
which comes to the Belasco Theater
March 20, has arranged a series of ex-
hibition and classical dances to be
given at various public schools and
recreation piers in New York, during
the warm months. for the sole benefit
of East Side children. Miss Miller has
consented to donate her services and
six-piece orchestra has been engaged
to furnish the dance music.
Such exhibitions as have arranged
are the only possible means whereby
the poor children of New York will
| have the opportunity of seeing or
| learning classical steps," says Miss
Miller. They hear SO much about
dancing and yet the noisy tune of a
hurdy-gurdy on some street corner is
the only encouragement to set their
feet and bodies swaying."
These East Side youngsters are al
ways eager to learn. and they are very
interesting pupils. Their conception of
dancing is rather vague, but II they
are shown the true rhythm and poetic
motion they will remember for all
time"
During the warm months I expect
to enroll at least three hundred chill
dren in classes for aesthetic and clas-
steal dancing. 1 will VISIT the recrea-
tion piers Monday and Thursday
