BELASCO

Under the direction of Richard Wal
ton TuIly, Guy Bates Post is to return
to this city in THE Masquerader.
which will be the attraction at the Be
lasco Theater this week. with an extra
matinee on Washington's Birthday.
The Masquerader." originally in book
form and written by Katherine Cecil
Thurston. was dramatized by John
Hunter Booth, who made the dramatic
version in which Mr.. Post will appear.
He has endeavored to maintain in the
admiration the same element of suspense
which did much to make the success OF
the book.
The story concerns John Chilcote.
rich. distinguished. member OF par
lament and a leader of his party. put
unfortunately an addict of morphine.
One night in London fog he meets
John Loder. who. by trick OF rate
bears such striking resemblance 10
him that they might have been TWINS.
In Loder the drug victim sees way
out, and he plans to change places with
him.
This plan is made feasible by the fact
that Chilcote has not lived with his
wife for wears and his habit has made
him so unstable that none of his serV-
ants would be surprised at a new
phase of demeanor OF MS part Loder
is young man who has Travelled wide
4
He is ambitious and has eked out llV-
ing by writing. Seeing in this change
an opportunity to justify his belief in
his own powers he accepts the ex-
change.
The plan is put into execution just
as Chilcote is to make a great speech
in parliament. Loder takes his place
and is a sensational success in his new
role Chilcote's wife, recognizing the
change, makes overtures for recon
'ciliation. Through her seeking his
companionship Loder falls in love with
her.
An incident with another woman,
Lady Astrupp, with whom Chilcote has
been great friends, and who makes II
practice to supply him with his drug,
causes Loder to resolve to give up the
masquerade. He tells his story to Mrs
Chilcote and they agree it must stop
They go to Loder's rooms to get Chill
cote, but find that he has died. There
is nothing for them to do then than
continue the masquerade and they plan
to go abroad and be quietly married
while Loder continues to carry on the
work of the man who was his double.
The company includes Louis Calvert,
That's Lawton, Ian Robertson, FLOR
-ence Malone, Clarence Handysides, MI
-lano Tilden, Olive Temple, Georgia Mai
Fursman, Harry Gribble, Nina Lindsay,
William Podmore and others. There
will be the same splendid scenic en-
yironment as has marked all or Mr.
-Tully's productions

You can't run motion picture studio

"Au creative intellectual work con-
sists of the development of Individual
ity. The very essence of motion pic
ture making is to encourage originality.
To bring out individual characteristics.
The famous stars of the stage, film
and literature, have been great because
at some point they differed fron7
one else. They had flavor all their
own.
The whole point of this theory called
maximum efficiency, which hnds its
highest expression in the foreign
armies. is to erase individuality.
Commercial efficiency demands that
all men be poured into the same mold.
Artistic efficiency demands that they be
nodded according to their personali-
ties. You can make million ten-pen-
ny nails by pouring hot metal into a
statues by hand. You can't erase the
human equation from the work men do.
In the final analysis, enthusiasm gets
farther than time clocks.
Movie Star Salaries.-The troubles of
the base bail magnates. due to big sal
aries paid diamond stars, are mere
trihes when compared with the situa-
ton forced upon film producers by the
high cost of screen acting. This, at
least, is the opinion of William y.
Brady, producer of plays-silent and
audible-in his testimony before the
Wheeler legislative committee in New
York city.
The theatrical manager is credited
with declaring that the princely SAL
aries now being paid to screen cele-
hrities have turned their heads: that
Mary Pickford. Douglas Fairbanks and
Charles Chaplin are WORTH and earn,
every cent of the big sums they re-
ceiye. but that all other salaries to the
film players are out of proportion, alb
surd and calculated to wreck the busi-
ness.
1t is only fair to add that Brady has
absolutely no interest, direct or in
direct, in Miss Pickford, Douglas Fair
banks or Charles Chaplin. HIS state
ment therefore, seems remarkable
tribute to the popularity of these three
movie stars.
