him his first engagement-a small
part in Children of To-day" After
that he almost changed his mind about
being an actor and for two years he
knocked about Japan and Hawaii,
seeking adventure, as the story writ
ers say. and finding it, too.
Since his return to America he has
played the Bean boy in "Polyanna,"
small roles in "The Silent Witness
and Mother Carey's Chickens" and
Buddy Hicks in "Just Around the
Corner" with Marie Cahill.
Enter the actress as a business
woman. Strange as 1t may seem that
a member of such a temperamental
profession. much less one of the weaker
sex, could be harnessed to a CONNER
cial enterprise, it is nevertheless true.
Emma Carus, musical comedy star and
vaudeville headliner, is about to en-
bark upon a business career, and after
her engagement at the New Brighton
Theatre next week she will devote sew
eral months to its development
AS matter Of fact Miss Cerus's
commercial interest extends to two
separate propositions. One is the Car
Pold Music Company-the title is de-
rived from the first syllable Of her own
name and the last Of her partners.
The Car-Pold company is Incorporated
under Illinois laws and q branch will
soon be opened In New York. Popular
Songs will be their stock in trade.
The second enterprise is Emma
Carus, Inc. AS a corporation the
condolences operations will be even
more extensive. The purpose of the
concern will be to produce dramatic
and musical attractions. One OF the
first offerings planned Is a revival of
Jack Lait's play "One OF U.s." seen
briefly in New York last season. In
the late fall Miss Carus will appear as
star under her own management in
musical play by Jack Lait, with
lyrics and music by herself and J..
Walter Leopold.
FIorenz Ziegfeld, Jr., will offer in the
New Amsterdam Theatre tomorrow

field FolliesI" This premiere will record
the thirteenth annual production in a
| series of musical revues originated In
America by Mr.. Z!egfeld in 1907. The
lyrics and music for the entire second
act OF the latest edition have been
written by Irving Berlin. The score
for the ballet, in which Marilynn Mil
Ter is to appear. is by Victor Herbert.
| Rennold Wolf has contributed the
comedy scenes. and, as in former years,
| additional lyrics were furnished by
Gene Buck, with music by Dave SIAM
per and Victor Jacob.
The new work is to be presented in
two acts, which have been staged by
Ned Wayburn, under the personal SUI
pervision of Mr.. ziegfeld. Joseph Ur-
ban has designed and painted the nu-
! merous scenes. One OF the many fea-
lures OF the entertainment will be a
series OF pictures created and pre-
scented by Ben Ali Haggin. In his lat
est Offering Mr.. Z!egfeld has elm
! mated the use Of so-called prop" cos
tunes. believing that the feminine por-
ton Of the entertainment will look
| more beautiful in gowns,

in the cast OF the revue. The list in =.
