Well, Belle Bennett Should
Be a Charming Actress; She
Began at the Age Of 5 Weeks

Belle Bennetty first chance on the
stage came when she was five weeks
old, in Ireland. She replaced prop
in 1.-THE Fatal Wedding" in which
her mother, the late Hazel Bennett,
was playing the leading role. Tho
young actress who has just Joined the
cast of Ian Hays comedy, Happy Co
Lucky" at the Booth Theater, replac-
ing Muriel Martin Harvey in the role
of Tilly Welwyn, was born in Dublin
after a performance of the old thriller
and five weeks later she had a part
in the cast.
"My mother had been using a doll
for the baby, but when she had me she
put me in instead. 1t was an easy
way for me to be near her." Miss
Bennett said.
And this was not her only expert
ence with "The Fatal Wedding." As
she grew up in America (she was
brought over by her parents when she
was sixteen months old) she played
all the female roles in the melodrama,
playing the lead in her fathers COM
pany out West.
William B. Bennett, Belle Bennett s
father, came over from Ireland about
twenty-five years ago and established
himself in the Twin Cities, st. Paul
and Minneapolis. He was one of the
pioneer tent showmen and his wife
and daughter played in his company.
Until four years ago Miss Bennett was
a member of her fathers company,
leaving it TO go to Culver City, Calf,
to make Western feature pictures at
the Triangle studios. The other lead
ing actresses at the studio were Alma
Rubens, Gloria Swanson and the late
Olive Thomas, whose dressing room
adjoined Miss Bennett's. The Triangle
company was not success financially,
and when it was disbanded the con-
tracts Of its stars were sold. Miss
Benefits went to the Alcazar Stock
Company, in San Francisco, the man
ager Of which is Frederick Belasco
brother of David Belasco.
"They say I broke all records for
continuous playing in stock" Miss
Bennett said. ~ played for eighty
five consecutive weeks and during that
time we had only four two-week runs.
That means we did eighty-one plays.
1t was a continuous grind of rehearsing
and playing. Normally, we gave ten
performances week, Sundays includ-
ed and when holidays intervencd we
gave twelve l played everything from
'Pollyanna' to the role of Mother La
Grange in The Thirteenth Chair AS

IL ever we should write play which
we never shall because we do not know
enough, and if that play should be pro-
duced, which it never would be be-
cause 1t would be too bad, and if the
critics should happen to like that play,
which they would not then we should
try to bribe those critics to throw the
game and knock our play.
VI course, you always hear every one
say that II the critics do not like q
pay 1t VIII succeed. but we pigeonholed
th's as one of those popular fallacies.
But now we do not know--we have seen
and we have heard. Take the case of
the Mirage (and last night as we
sat IN box we thought of three per-
fectiy good reasons why it might be
called The Mirage which is more
tAan the critics found out the opening
night) Take the case of The Mirage"
rs we said. We didn't go to the open
ing and Florence Reed being our
t@Vorite actress we seized the papers

er'tics had said. 1t was subtly put,
nut one might gather after couple OF
perusings that they had seen plays
which they liked better. They also in
following The Mirage they would
find themselves in East Lynn"
1t was evident that nine tenths of
the people liked East Lynn" for with
one accord they focked to "The Mi
rage All Of the hundreds of people
who saw it last night will send all of
their hundreds OF friends. and so on.
1t looks like an endless chain. and the
moral to this is that, truly, You never
can tell"

any way. If you are not interested in
the play you will surely be interested
IN the way the audience receives that
play. 1t is rcmarkablel We sat in
the box which joins the balcony and
watched the people as they watched
the play. Edgar Selwyn certainly held
them in the hollow Of his hand. They
wept all through the play. excepting in
the places where they should laugh.
and here they laughed. When Florence
Reed said, 1T means, mother, that |

and the break before the last three
words. every woman held her breath
and her handkerchief wadded up and
pressed against her right cheek When
the mother replied, My baby-my lit

copious tears, and one young woman
broke down entirely and said audibly:
