POLPS LEADING MAN
STARTED AS singer
William P. Carlton Began Stage Career
in Comic Opera.

William p. Carlton, who comes to the
Poll Players as leading man. began his
career as a singer. He has a rich barry
tone voice, and IS what many singers are
not-a good actor. He began his stage
career with Francis Wilson in a small
role in ''Erminie," but even then he was
by no means a novice, for he grew up
practically in the profession. his father
being William r. Carlton. the celebrated
opera singer and once director of his own
company.
1t did not take Mr.. Carlton long to work
his way to the front Light opera and
musical comedy proved to be his forte.
He acted and sang the role of Harry
Bronson in THE Belle OF New York" for
three years, being with that company
during its successful London run, and he
followed that with two years in "Floro-
DORA" during which he sang the roman
tic part of Frank Abercoed. After two
years with Lulu Glaser in THE Medal
and the Maid" came his longest en-
gagement of all with any one star. For
four years he was continuously Blanche
Rings leading man in THE Wall Street
Girl and The Yankee Girl"
Some seasons ago Mr.. Carleton deter
mined to leave the operate and musical
comedy stage, and an offer from John
Craig to become his leading man at the
Castle Square Theater. in Boston, set
tied the matter. For the past five years
Mr. Carleton has been a resident of Bos-
ton.

JACKSONVILLE PAYS
TRIBUTE TO COHAN

Small towns have been known to de-
Velop excitement at the appearance of
PRESIDENTIAL candidate, a famous public
official, or almost any notable parsonage.
1t Is seldom, however, that a city de-
parts from its customary calm merely
because popular actor has come to
town.
Nevertheless, this thing has just
happened In Jacksonville, Fla.
When Jacksonville heard that George
NJ Cohan, famous author, actor, Pro-
ducer of plays, and recent convert to the
possibilities of the camera had selected
the Florida metropolis as a locale for
broadway Jones'" his first film produc-
ton, inhabitants of the city on the banks
of the st. Johns cast restraint to the
winds. When Mr.. Cohan alighted from
his train at the Union Station he
observed that the mammoth sign,
Jacksonville" had been changed to read
"Jonesyille." a subtle tribute to Mr..
Cohan, as well as a borrowing Of the
title bestowed by him upon the ina aginary
town wherein the action Of Broadway

Miss Bates Declines to Take Part in
Drunken Orgies.

Miss Blanche Bates, who return, To

NJ" by Paul NJ Potter, at the National
this week. has very decided views on
"hat constitutes good taste in the
theater. She believes that drunkenness
should very rarely be depicted on the
stage and never as a means of fun-mak-

There are many reason why all the

$4,000 A WEEK FOR
DOUGLAS FAIRBANKS
Aircraft Pictures Corporation Pays Big
Salary to Film Star.

The high cost of living is a mere bag
atelle these days when compared to the
high cost Of acting. A contract was
closed in New York last Wednesday after
noon between Douglas Fairbanks, film
star. and the Aircraft Pictures Corpor-
alton, film producers, whereby Fairbanks
Is to receive a fat salary of ST., 900 a week
for appearing only in the Artcraft's photo
play productions. This modest remuner-
alton amounts to ss25,ooo a year: which is
exactly eleven times more than the salary
paid to the President Of the United States
and which, also, is a high-water record
for salaries, even in the film industry.
As a matter Of fact, the amazing con-
tract signed by Fairbanks gives him
5000 a week more than the sum now
being paid to Mary Pickford. and $4,000
year more than the huge salary paid to
Charlie Chaplin, which staggered theatri-
cal circles less than a year ago. There
was much comment some weeks ago when
George NJ Cohan accepted an offer Of
$4,000 for acting, producing and releas-
ing the film rights to Broadway Jones. !"
But Cohan already has worked four
weeks on the production and reports from
Florida intimate that he will be kept
busy at least six weeks more. Therefore,
he will receive for his acting. his work
as a director, and his interests as the
author of Broadway Jones" not more
than $4,000 q week, while Fairbanks is
getting HSooo a week merely for his
work before the camera.
It is stated on what presumably is IN
side authority, that rival bidders for Fair
banks signature to a contract went
further than the Aircraft company. One
film concern, according to Fairbanks
himself, offered him fiat salary Of 1880
