MOLLIE WILLIAMS HAS
IDEAS IN BURLES0UE

One of the reasons the little thcater
people do not succeed any too well
in the establishing of the sort OF a
house that the one-act mclodrom1
of the Grand Guignol of Paris would
fit into was that they did not take
their idea to the right sort of
audiences"
Such is the opinion of Mollic Will
liams producer and manager and
leading woman of this weeks at
traction at the Gaycty. She backs
up her opinion by staging most
Guignol-havored melodrar sltic sketch
that fairly, takes the breath away
from her audiences, with it's tragedy
right in the middle OF n light frothy,
burlesque entertainment "The I'm
known Law" The tragic playette is
the only one of its kind in burlesque.
"Burlesaue Is light, frothy, laugh
making. Now, IL u tragedy is set in
the middle Of a farce, the tragedy
becomes greater tragedy ami the
farce a funnier farce by contrast.
SO | devised The Unknown Law ]
did not realize just how well the idea
was going to work out. but II has
worked out wonderfully"
Aside from her acting. Miss Will
liams chooses every article Of the
companys vast wardrobe, designs the
style. ar selects the fabric from
which they are to be made.
But with all this Miss Williams
claims her chief worry is about the
show for next season.

MOLLE WILLIAMS HERE
TO PLEASE AT GAYETY

"Mollie Williams Greatest Show
headed by the versatile woman pro-
ducer-manager-star, opens its annual
engagement at the Gayety Theater
today. Like her other successful pro-
ductions, her entertainment forms a
combination of farce, extravaganza
vaudeville specalties and music, bal
anced by touch of drama. Likewise
it is said to live up to it's reputation
as a beuaty organization. with a femi-
nine cast of grace and charm.
The opening comedy, "Barreled
Up is the joint work of two well
known authors, Alexander Rogers be-
ing responsible for the lyrics, and
c. Luckeyth Roberts for the music
1t furnishes an abundance of data
for the dozen or more elaborately
gowned principals who scamper
through the skit to the delight of the
audience while interpreting the
breezy lines.
Those appearing prominently in
support of Miss Williams include
Teddy Mcnamara, "Cy' Plunkett
Billy Purcella. Don Trent, Evelyn
Ramsay, Billie Levinson, Louise
Worthington and Pep" Bradford
and a novel and strikingly costumed
chorus, composed of damsels of every
type of beauty.
The closing burlesque is a comedy
with music. entitled The Midnight

THE girl who hopes to become an
actress must learn how to use her
voice." says Frances Starr, whom
Belasco will present at the Belasco
Theater this week in her new play
by Edward Knoblock entitled. "One,"
Immediately preceding her engage
ment at the Belasco Theater, New
York
81 believe the American girl in gem
eral is in need of word or two On
this subject. for. think the average
American voice is discordant. Some
times I have gone to card parties or
luncheons where there were only
women guests and have actually con-
tracted headache because of the
tones of those in conversation about
me.
'The American girl who wishes to
become an actress absolutely must
learn to speak correctly, to speak
pure English and to use her voice
properly. Never imagine for a mo-

Frances Starr Says Controlled

ment that there is anything attrac-
tive in a Western burr or South
ern 'drawl.' Pure English is pure
English.
I'm a very pretty girl in private
life, tricks and mannerisms OF speech
may pass as 'cuteness, but on the
stage the tools with which an actress
works are words-nothing but words.
In 80 far as she uses them correct
ly and deXterously or awkwardly and
without understanding is she an in
telligent interpreter or tiresome
amateur.
Because of this matter of pure
English, l believe the girl who hopes
to become an actress should be able
to appreciate beautiful language
when she hears ii or reads it.
Also, the girl who wishes to sue
coed should study pronunciation,
breathing or singing. 1t does not
matter whether or not she ever in
tends to sing publicly.
The training which will be hers
with a good singing instructor will
place her speaking voice. teach her
to enunciate, giving her speaking
tones a musical quality and make her
capable of sustained and correct
breathing.
"a controlled speaking voice has
become increasingly important upon
the modern stage because OF the
structure of our theaters. All new
ones are built upon steel frame. 1t
is harder to make ones voice carry
adequately in these new theaters than
it was In the old frame buildings.
Also. the actors and actresses of
today are not permitted to 'declaim.
They must appear to speak naturally,
without effort 1t is. therefore. all
the harder for an actress to make
herself carry across the footlights.
Audiences have been trained to under
stand subtleties of tone and express
sion, to expect them. The lighter and
quicker the effect the more one must
be true artist to convey it
"Onc," the play in which Miss Starr
makes her Washington debut tomor-
row. is the third from the pen of Ed
ward Knoblock written especially for
her. the other two being Marie
Odilc." in which she appeared several
years ago, and Tiger! Tiger" in
which she. enjoyed two seasons of
marked success.
Always to be relied upon to create
character away from the beaten
track Miss starr is said in her latest
play to have found ono OF the most
conEcnial roles of her career and one
that will doubtless prove worthy
addition to her remarkable gallery of
stage portraits.
To support Miss Starr in her new
play. Mr.. Belasco has engaged a dis
tinguished cast that embraced such
wcll-known players as Randle Ayr
ton. Philip Desborough, Martin Lewis,
Theodore Babcock, Marie r. Burke,
clara sidney, Daisy Belmore and Lulu
Ayrton.
The play has been produced under
the personal direction of Mr.. Belasco,
who will be here for the entire en-
unppmpnt.

week, they take with them the best
wishes of Washington, wishes that
will probably be expressed in person
this week by the banner attendance
of the year. East Lynne" makes an
ideal Offering for their farewell week.
This play, which has outlived all
others of it's time, has been played
more than 100000 times by recog-
nized companies, but strange to say
1t has not been seen In this city for
nearly twenty years. Hence its re-
vival will be most welcome.
Judging by advance sales, the Car
ricker's farewell week will be the
banner one of the season and the
management urges the early buying
of seats. Better seats can be OBJ
tained for Sunday, Monday and Tues
day nights as the demand for the
latter part OF the week is much
heavier.

production is being staged by Clifford
Brooke.
For fourteen years. Cherry. Rita
and Dick, the children of Bob Carson,
have been living with their step
father, Sam Moore, one-time banking
partner of Carson. The two men had
been the directing heads of the First
National Bank of Gilead, Ohio, and,
manipulating their assets, were
caught unprepared in the panic Of
1907, with the usual result that Car
son went to prison. While there his
wife divorces him and marries Moore,
taking with her the children, who
are kept in ignorance of their fathers
identity.
When the first act opens, Carson
has just finished his prison term and
has come to New Blandford to seek
out his children. to whom he makes
himself known simply as Bob, the
Wagon Man. He is a lovable sort OF
vagabond, living in gypsy wagon
and spending his time in fishing ani
making toys for the children.

1t is predicted that the Mays
hatchery Is bound to be one of the
big industries of this section. Large
sums are being expended in the i'm
provement of the business, and it is
said that there is big demand for
the product. No trout have yet been
sold commercially, but it is expected
that they will be placed on the mar
ket soon.
Representative Mays and his as
sistants on the Snake river farm are
not content with adding this new in
dustry to this section, but with the
aid of electrical power generated on
the premises, are planning to do
manufacturing.
Much fruit is raised on the Mays
ranch, and last season an experiment
in growing almonds proved very sue
cessful. Several bushels of almonds
We're grown and they are declared to
be similar in quality to the Califor-
