that the play is a comedy. they give
the names of its authors, but beyond
that nothing is said The billing
features no one. The newspaper ad-
vertising is no respecter of players,
and the program prints the cast all
in one type. And yet Miss Claire

the past dramatic season in New

body except by Mr.. Belasco himself.

So. while II was due to the critical

How Belasco Makes a Star

Star-making in the theater is a
curious thing with no certain psy-
ChOlOgy. In many instances. it is
the managerial dream of capitaliz-
ing the popularity Of an artist
which is responsible for the num-
ber of luminaries which flash yearly
on the theatrical sky without per
manency of place or position. That
they flicker and go out is due to the
failure of the public to agree with
managerial judgment. 1t would
therefore seem a risky proposition
for producer to arbitrarily push
a player into a stellar position with
out first sounding public opinion,
for who, after all. can lift an artist
to that high place in the theater
save the World and his Wife, who
sit out front and watch the show?
a complete recognition of this
fact is all to the credit of David
Belasco who. if you might corner
him with the accusation OF having
made Ina Claire. the young actress

Mcintyre and Heath's Story

Mcintyre and Heath, who will be
seen at Polls Theater. beginning to-
night, in the musical extravaganza,
Hello. Alexander" have had a truly
remarkable career.
For nearly half century. these
two comedians have held their own
against all comers. The reason that
Mcintyre and Heath's sketches have
proved so enormously popular with
the public is that they are taken
from life. All the incidents related
in Hello. Alexander" for instance,
are not exact transcripts of actual
happenings. but are based on expert
ences that befell these two wonder
fully clever artists early. in their
blackface days.
James Mcintyre is the apparently
smaller and always downtrodden
colored man, and Thomas Heath tn.

sketches of Mcintyre and Heath, ia

inserting word now and then or
merely nodding assent. 1t was in
the early '70's that Mcintyre and
Heath gathered the material that
they have used to such good results
since that time. Thomas Heath had
been in a blackface act in which
he sang "Nicodemus Johnson" had
been a clown in a circus. singing
in the concert after the main show.
and had practiced minstrelsy with
