L. M. Bell Emerges
As an Acting Find"
OF Garrick Season

The Garrlck Players, during the
summer run at the ShUbert-Garrick
Theater, have been instrumental in
developing the acting talents Of
several persons to WHOM the stage
has ever been a magnet. but who
had lacked, up to the present sea
son, an opportunity to display their
ability.
The most notable development OF
the Garrick season. however. has
been the development as an actor
Of L. NJ. Bell. the producer OF the
summer shows at the Seventh and
+ streets theater. who has diSCov-
cred an ability for character parts
far above the avera ge. and who has
made that discovery after he had
actually convinced himself that he
never become an actor worth the
electricity that illuminated his
countenance.
Mr.. Bells trouble in acting. dur
ing the time he was assalling
Broadway and later during his barn
storming days. was due to the fact
that he had been cast in juvenile
parts or so-called straight roles or
thoroughly orthodox acting require
ments. 1t remained for a character
part he assumed in "A Prince There
Was" to reveal to the public the
wealth Of ability Mr.. Bell possessed
in character acting.
In "A Prince There Was" he
played the part OF motion picture
supernbmerary. who gathered a
days work at ,his and that studio
and who considered himself fortu-
nate il his face showed on the film
from the crowd of which he was a
part. At home, in his boarding
house, he talked familiarly OF the
great and near great in hlmdom,
and was constantly being taken
down by guests who doubted his
ability.
Pronounced as was Mr.. Bells act
ing success in "A Prince There
Was" he scored even a greater tri
umph in last weeks Garrick version
of The Misleading Lady" with his
Interpretation of the part of a harm
less lunstic who lsbored under the
delusion that he was Napolesn at
grips with Wellington before Water
loo. Originally penned as comedy
part, Mr.. Bells Interpretation trans
cended the mere comedy of the char
acterizstion and revealed, in several
notable flashes of acting, the psthos
that lies under all comedy and
which is often emphasized by con-
trast with comedy.
Mr. Bell will be seen again before
the close Of the Garrick season,
though he will not appear in the
cast of Daddy LongIegs," the Jean
Webster classic that opens at the
Gsrrick tonight.

4 Masterpiece of Detail

Having won the hearts OF the
world and established herself as
|the greatest expOnents of child
characters on the stage and screen,
the ever versatile Mary Pickford
will be seen at Loew's Palace today,
Il in ''Suds." a United Artists photo
play an entirely different nature
from anything in which she has
heretofore appeared.
For several years Miss Pickford
has had the character of Amanda
|Afhick in mind and has been wait
'ing the opportunity to present it
n the proper manner and with the
proper settings.
Since the completion OF Polly
anna" in the latter part of 1919.
Mss Pickford has been at work
with her staff OF ASSISTANTS on "Suds."
|SNer four months were spent in
the adaptation of the story for the
screen by several of the best see
mario writers in the photoplay pro-
|cessiOn. and tbs versatile little
|star went over the entire story
|again and again, word for word,
funtil in its typewriter for it was
y photOplay gem.
Not until she was satified that
the story was fiawless would Miss
|PickfOrd begin rehearsaIs and pro-
dtfction. In the meantime her tech
tnicaI stan had been at work on in
terror and exterior Of settings.
Photographs Of several streets in
b .ondon slums were taken by Miss
Pickford's English representatives
a nd these were sent to the studio
and exact reproductions were con-
|structed in the huge lot adjoining
bier dressing room. Several other
authorities on life and costume in
the Soho districts were also called
fn and the work was continued un-
til the settings and Scenes were
pronounced perfect even to the most
minor details.
The phOtoplay colony as well as
|the city of Los Angeles was combed
FOR people to appear in the crowded
street scenes and when everything
was to her entire satisfaction Miss
|Pickford gave orders for the filming
to start
An example Of the care which
LAherica's Sweetheart layished on
|the production OF "Suds" is shown
hn the fact that she had the entire
country ransacked for the most
|voe-begone and dilapidated looking
|horse obtainable to pull the laundry
delivery wagon which is used in
|she story.
And instead Of using two cameras
|as she did in "Pollyanna" and her
|othsr productions Miss Pickford had
three photographers constantly at
work under the supervision of
CHARLES Kosher, w6o is responsible.
for the splendid photography in all
fher recent productions.

Looking Into the Lobbies
By EARLE DORSEY.

THERE is mote of triumph in
the return to Washington this
week of Helen Hayes, the girlish
wonder, who electrified the theater
two years ago with her performance
in Bsrrie's Dear Brutus"-a per-
formance that coupled her name
with that of Maude Adams and
Ethel Barrymore, as potential
star of the first magnitude.
Miss Hayes opens the 1s20-21 dra-
matte season at the National tomor-
row night in Edward Childs Car
p-nter's adaptation of Mary Rob
erts Rinehart's Bah" stories. Her
appearance tomorrow night will
mark Miss Hayes first professional
appearance in Washington since
that epic-making week, some two
years ago, when she startled Wash
ington first and New York after
ward by stealing" the perform
snce from William Gillette. the star
OF Dear Brutus" at that time.
Miss Hayes very nearly appeared
al the National last summer during
George Tyler's disappointing sea-
son. She had been groomed for
prominent part in Clarence" but
before Clarence" was ready for
presentation MI AllONcu hAo
company to Atlantic City and Wash
ington was denied a preliminary
glimpse Of a play-<hat has since
been called the finest example of
native playwriting in years.
The demure Helen bowed before
Manhattan audiences in Clarence"
and captivated afresh the critics of
that community. only to be with
drawn from that play and rehearsed
in ''Bab,' which, II memory serves
Alright, had a preliminary run in
Boston, where it received high
praise.
IT'S an old story now. but after
that sensational hit in Dear
Brutus," Miss Hayes told me a little
story OF herself that shows the
curious hand Of destiny in human
affairs. Helen came into this world
as a resident Of Mt. Pleasant, and
though endowed with more than her
share of charm and grace, nature
gave her a deformed toe.
The desire of a careful mother to
eradicate that physical defect was
the reason why Helen Hayes (whose
real name is Helen Hayes Brown
was packed off to dancing school at
very early age and almost imme-
diately began to show an aptitude
for entertainment that promised
much later on. Her first stage ap-
pearance, as I remember, was at the
Columbia Theater here with a Lew
Fields company, and after four sea-
sons with the comedian, she Joined
John Drew. playing a child's part
until the opportunity came along to
join Patricia Collinge and Ruth
ChattertOn in The Prince Chap"
Three years ago George Tyler en-
gagged her for the title role OF
"Pollysnna," and the following sea-
son Tyler loaned her to William
Gillette in Dear BrUtus." She re-
taliated by becoming the hit of the
show and the real career of Helen
Hayes may be said to have started
with her portrayal of the dream

in 1919, though the management of
the Garrick Players will hold the
production for a single week only,
whereas two weeks were devoted to
showings of the same play last
year.
The Garrickers are holding
Daddy Longlegs" for one week
simply because their schedule for
the rest of the season has been def
nitely mapped out, and the Bolton
Wodehouse- Kern musical confec-
tion, "Oh, Boy" is definitely sched-
uled for a weeks showing and
hearing beginning August %. For
the week of August %, the manage
ment has several plays under con-
sideration. but ii is fairly certain
that the Garrickers will close their
season Labor Day week with Roi

edy hit, Tea for Three"
If this schedule is adhered to, the
Garrickers' 1920 season will have
covered the period of nineteen
weeks, during which time a num-
Der of striking productions have
been presented. Up to the present
time, the GarriCkers' have scored
their greatest success with Par
