After much delay in obtaining pass
ports Mr.. and Mrs. Rochard Croker
will leave June Z for Ireland. F. M.
Delavan, who was to have gone with
them, will be unable to get away at
that time. He has not yet gotten A
passport.
The aspiration of the Irish for rec
ognition of the republic they have
proclaimed and their efforts to obtain
American assistance, which are op-
posed by the British government, are
assumed to be the reason for the Diff
ficulty travellers have in getting per-

Croker made showing of the neces-
sity OF looking after the payment of
taxes. which have not been paid for
four years. The destination of Mr..
and Mrs. Croker is Glencarie, near
Dublin.
Mr.. Delavans acceptance of an in
vitation to go to Ireland with Mr.. and
Mrs. Croker led many persons to as
sumo that he is of Irish descent. Mr..
Delavan is of Hugenot descent, his
ancestors having been French.

THE SUCCESSFUL PLAY
Walker Whiteside Defines Some OF
the Requisites

Walker Whiteside, coming to the
Adelphi in The Little Brother" re-
Gently made the statement that he read
more than a hundred plays year in
order to find one that measured up to his
requirements. The star qualified his
remarks by saying that the plays were
very good on the whole, but that in
order to suit him certain requisites were
demanded In the first place, is the
central figure Of stellar magnitude? Is
the love interest strong? Is the end
ing happy or otherwise? Is the theme
sufficiently engrossing to entertain the
public? Many stars measure up a
plays possibilities by the star part and
overlook the balance of the piece, and
as result it fails.
In Mr.. Whitesides experience he has
found that happy ending is not always
necessary, although it has much to dc
with the monetary success. In The
Typhoon, for example, there was
flaming love interest which dominated
the play. Therefore, the death of To
keramo was not a depressing factor
The Melting Pot" also had its tragic
moments, but the love interest and th'
happy ending sent theatregoers away
pleased. Mr.. WI" was devoid of low
and the ending was gruesome, and al
though Mr.. Whiteside's acting made thu
piece a success he shelved it after

All the preliminaries in the staging

screen was placed at just the proper
position from the footlights to provide
the best possible view of the picture
from all parts of the auditorium, and
he listened carefully as the orchestras
rehearsed under the direction of Louis
F. Gottschalk, the composer of much
of the score.
1t was late when the rehearsal was
at end. and then Griffith called to the
leader of the Balalaika Orchestra on
the stage to ask il it would be possible
for the men to play something charac-
teristically Russian. The men were
delighted, in spite Of the lateness of the
ending of the rehearsal, to ''oblige,

cert that all the stage crew, the
camera men and the operators thor

There will be no limitations put on

For many years Morton was known
in vaudeville as 'The Man of Infinite
Jest. The humorous announce"
idea is Morton's own and he has been
such a success with it that he is always
