This New Comedy VIII Be
Preceded by a J. M.

Ethel Barrymore tomorrow night at
the Empire Theatre will appear for the
srst time in "Belinda," new three-act
comedy by A. A. Milne. Preceding
4pelinda," J. M. Barrie's one-act COM
adv "The New Word" will be given.

and. once they start working for one
management they are quite as likely
as not to keep right on with this firm
year after year.
And that started it,
Other girls heard about those Miss
Marbury had taken receiving more
money. When the time came to sign up
for new production they would toss
their heads and intimate that their ser
vices had increased in value. Which
wasn't exactly the case, either, for their
services had always been of great
value. But they were just beginning
to be appreciated.
You see, for years the theatrical
managers have been announcing along
about this time of year, 'In order to
provide entertainment and amusement
for the tired-out public we will pro-
duce a spectacular musical comedy
with just heaps and heaps of beautiful
girls"
Mind you, little or nothing was said
Of what the comedy was to be about:
Reason enough-no one knew, and If
they did, who cared about the story of
3 musical comedy anyway?
And quite as true, little was said OF
the music or OF the principals. What
the managers talked about was girls.
They knew that it was the girls that
brought the public They knew that
they might have the best kind Of a
story and the finest kind of music, with
actors and actresses internationally IA
nous, but if they did not have those
girls-well it was a short run.
Take the weeks before the shows are
ready to open. 1t is the girls who are
the first to be called. They work for
weeks before the principals are sum-
moned. And then the rehearsals! Usu-
ally while the leading members of the
company are occupying the stage at
some nice, cool, darkened theatre, the
girls are over in little room at Bryant
Hall or at Amsterdam Hall.
Still no one ever has complained
much about that. 1t is sort of ex-
pected. But the money? Well, there
were times when the girls thought that
they really ought to have $50 instead
of the $18 or 500. That is, they used
to think so. Now? Well the $50-a-
week girl has long since ceased to be a
novelty.
Instead-it's hard to believe, of
course-we have the $100a-week girl,
and the end is not yet. Right here in
New York there are score or more
girls, and perhaps more young women,
of various musical companies who have
reached the $100 mark.
And the super-girl, the girl who has
already stepped past the mark-well,
she will be in our midst shortly.
Out in what the managers call the
provinces-the New Havens, Atlantic

Gum BAN bingalam bing" you will
know that he is reciting one of his
favorite poems in the Zulu tongue or
humming a musical Hindu song. For
Mr. Werner, who plays the part of the
Colonel with William Hodge in "a
Cure for Curables," can speak, or
rather, gurgle, the Zulu language in
addition to Hindustanee, Italian, Ger
man, French and English.
In all of the countries where these
languages are spoken, Mr.. Werner has
appeared as a star in his own pro-
ductions. Early in life he was seized
with the wanderlust, and for more
than fifty yers he has roamed from
one country to another. Born in Aus
tralia, he has travelled to every corner
of the globe, and after he became a
real actor he returned to his native
land and organized company of Aus
tralian players.
He has appeared with Edwin Booth
when the later was in Australia
Ballarat, where Mr.. Werner was born
is within walking distance of Mel
bourne, and also has several play
houses. In the days when Mr.. Werner
was youth, he and Mr. Booth often
walked from Ballarat to Melbourne in
serch of an engagement, and, finding
none, walked back to Ballarat in search
of place to sleep.
For several years he was on the lect-
ure platform, and in England he VENT
ured into musical comedy. He can
play twelve different musical instru-
ments, including the G string, which
is his own invention.
Twenty-Five years ago Mr.. Werner
played with John Drew, and from that
day to this he has either played with
stars, or been starred in his own pro-
ductions.
During his younger days Mr.. Werner
was a shorthand reporter on "The
Melbourne Journal" and was the
only shorthand writer within fifty
miles. At important court trials they
used to send for Mr.. Werner to take
down the testimony, but this work
didn't appeal to the actor, and he re-
turned to his original profession.
He was only two years on the stage
when he became a star in his own
company. Three or four months in
one country was enough for the actor,
and when this time elapsed he would
pack his belongings and set sail for
another land. In this manner he
travelled to the four corners of the
world, and has appeared as star in
every civilized country.

Hatsuko Sakakibara

Her full undefated name is Hat
suko Sakakibara She feels, however,
that Marion Saki expresses her BIZ
furcated extraction much more clearly.
Marion was born in Sendai, G suburb
of Toxic, Japan, some sixteen years
ago. Gitsuo, her father, known in this
country as George" divided his time
in Japan between dancing and the
sale of antiques. Her mother was an
American actress. When the family
moved to America Gitsuo gave up
dancing, save for an occasional relapse
in the form Of Japanese sword dance
at the local Nippon Club.
The girls instruction in dancing
began when she was four years old,
when she left Japan with her fam
lily, and even at that age she had
mastered the rudiments and sensed the
spell of Sahara -Sakimo," the cherry
blossom dance with which Japan
greets the springtime.
For twelve years the family lived a,
Lakewood, N. j., where Marion ap-
peared at entertainments given at the
local theatres and at private affairs
held under prominent social patronage
In the intervals of expatiating on the
merits of old worries, jades and jew.
elry, her father continued to coaci

her in the refnements of the art to
which she was daily becoming more
passionately attached.
Last year Marion heard of PavIowa's
free ballet class at the Hippodrome.
With hundreds of others she applied
for admission. Her exotic appearance
and the unmistakabe fair which she
showed for the work straightway capt
ured the fancy of the ballerins, anu
Marion remained for the year under
the tutelage Of Pavlowa
Marion has piquantly arrestins
personality. She has talent fors the
work she has embraced. She is simple
and unspoiled. What's more, SO far
as is generally known, there is no one
of her sex on the American stage OF
similarly picturesque extraction.

The Chorus Girl ''Plute''

A woman is responsible as usual.
If it hadn't been for her, Claire
Nagle would never have had her salary
raised from $25 to $35 to $50 and
finally $110 week, for you see Claire
is only chorus girl and until recently
no one ever thought of paying chorus
girls any real" money.
Down in the orchestra pit there
would be half a dozen piccolo players
or something like that getting more
New-York tribune., 1918-05-05

money than any one Of those girls
And then along came a woman-every-
body knows her.
Until Elisabeth Marbury began pro-
ducing those intimate little musical
comedies with just few girls in them
no one thought it worth while to pick
out the girls in the show with great
care. Miss Marbury decided they must
be chosen as carefully as the prin-
cipals.
If she wanted some particular girl
from another show, it was often nee
essary to offer more money in order
to get her to change managements, for
chorus girls are faithful little things

had nothing produced in this country.
The heroine of his present play (Miss
Barrymore's part) is a charming wom-
an with keen sense Of humor, a
nimble tongue and an ardent desire for
masculine admiration and attention. 1t
is role that Miss Barrymore will revel
in and is a welcome addition to her
rapidly growing repertory Important
parts in Belinda" will be played by
Cyril Keightley, E. Lyall Swete, Richard
Hatteras, Eva LIE Gallienne and Clara
I. Bracy.

plays that was done at the Empire last
spring. It's presentation again has been

value just at this time as patriotic
propaganda. The actors in it will be
Mr.. Swete, Winifred Fraser, who has
been lent by David Belasco to play the
part she originated last season, Philip
Tonge and Mary Balfour.
A new musical play, "The Kiss
Burglar" with book and lyrics by
Glen MacDonough and music by Ray
mond Hubbell, will begin it's first
metropolitan engagement at the George
NJ. Cohan Theatre Thursday night, with
the charming Fay Banter. 1t had an
instantaneous success in Baltimore
when it was given there last week. De-
scribed as an entertainment "for the
tired business woman" it was warmly
praised for its amusing quality, it's
sprightly dances, melodious music and
brilliant stage pictures. Miss Bainter's
singing and dancing were praised no
less enthusiastically than her acting.
Smartness was the aim of the pro-
ducers-not only in the extraordinary
stage pictures, but in the story and
the music and the performance given
by Miss Banter and her associates In
the company supporting her are many
New York favorites, including Harry
Clarke, Denman Maley, Armand Kahsz
and Cyril Chadwick. The production
was staged by Julian Mitchell and Ed

With the return Of all-wheat bread
to American tables following the re-
taxation Of substitute regulations,
farmers Of the country may expect a
somewhat increased supply Of mill
feeds. The amount will be further
enlarged by the recently increased
purchases of flour by the Food Ad-
ministration Grain Corporation for ex-
port. Export of flour rather than
wheat is now possible because OF in
creased ocean tonnage available since
the signing of the armistice.
A third factor which is expected to
increase supplies Of mill feeds is the
cancellation of the so-called milling
extraction rule" which, as a war
measure, diverted into flour con-
siderable proportion Of the wheat ber-
~ ordinarily used for feed.
All of these developments combined
are expected to increase the mill feed
output fully q fifth, and this extra
feed should be available about the end
of December. In presenting these
facts the Food Administration warns
