The Morosco Theatre

Oliver Morosco finally has his New
York playhouse-or he will in an

attraction. The new house is in
Forty-ffth Streets few hundred feet

side OF the street. Adjoining it on
the east is the theatre which is de-
signed eventually as the home Of the
Theatre Francois.

a member of the company. She had
been acting for a season or two, hav-
ing already supported such distin-
guished players as e. H. Sothern and
Amelia Bingham, even though she had
been only one of three ladies-in-wait-
ing in Mr.. Sothern's production Of
Hamlet
Miss Wills and Mr.. Coburn had some
thing in common from the start. Each
speedily discovered that the other, al
though intensely fond of acting, be-
lieved that there were better plays in
the world than those generally acted
by stock companies. And each Of them
also longed to act them. This restless
ness. however had to remain merely
a restlessness for some time. The Nor
folk stock company presently broke up
into its component parts, and Miss
Wills and Mr. Coburn went their re-
spectiye ways. Endless stock companies
followed for both of them, and it was
not until 1905, this time in Knoxville,
that their paths crossed again.
The scene was another stock COM
pany. Miss Wills was able to report
progress this time, for in the interim
she had played Rosalind in CAS- You
Like It." Mr.. Coburn. however, had
had TO content himself with a per-
Torrance of Romeo in the balcony
scene, and that had been used merely
to round out an evenings entertain
ment when melodrama proved too
short. This meeting resulted in prog
ress Of another kind. though, for
Charles Coburn and lvah Wills we're
virtually engaged TO be married when
the Knoxville engagement terminated.
The early summer of 1905 found Mr..
Coburn in New York, and here he en-
countered the man who had run the
stock company in Norfolk. This man
had a plan to gather a company TO
present "As You Like II" throughout
New York State during the summer,
giving out-of-door performances at
country clubs and the like. He asked
Mr. Coburn If he had ever played
Orlando Mr.. Coburn had not, but
could and would And did he know
any one 10 play Rosalind? He GER
tainly did. A wire brought Ivah Wills
on to New York Immediately, the piece
was duly rehearsed and the tour be-
gun.
All would have been well il the
Norfolk mans money had not given
out week later. The company
stranded in Fulton, n. Y, and the per-
formers who desired to return to the
metropolis were compelled TO utilize
their own resources for the purpose.
All but two Of the cast regarded the
experiment as a fat failure. These
two. however. saw the possibilities OF
the thing, and attributed the failure
to the fact that the Norfolk man had
not known how TO go about il. Then
and there they resolved TO try il
themselves the following summer Be
fore that summer arrived, incidental
ly, they were married.
The Coburn Players. then, came
into existence in the summer OF 1906.
The Norfolk man had failed by max
ing his performances public affairs;
the Coburns succeeded by making
theirs private. Country clubs, wom-
ems organizations, schools and col
leges were interested in advance; il
was made TO appear a privilege to have
the Coburns pay them a visit. During
their first summer they played only
"As You Like H." and achieved such
satisfactory results that immediate
plans were made for enlsrging their
repcrtory.
Two or three pieces were added an
