boasts in the person of Aleta, of the
smallest, daintiest and youngest
premier danseuse on the American
stage.
Aleta is not yet Is years old, but
has had a most remarkable career,
despite her youth. She was born in
Montreal, and her mother died when
she was still a baby. Her father
brought her to New York so that
her grandmother might raise her.
When Aleta was almost 13. her
father died also. and Aleta looked
about for something to do to support
herself and her aged grandmother.
One day, as she was waiting for
motion picture work as an extra girl
at the Famous Players Studio in
New York. she attracted the atten-
ton of Miss Marguerite Clark, the
famous stage and picture star. Be-
cause of her extreme youth, and her
natural grace and beauty, Miss
Clark caused Aleta to be given a
small part, IN one of the pictures in
which she was then starring. and
upon learning the little girls story
from her own lips, and hearing that
Aleta was an orphan. she took Aleta
into her own home. Since then Ale
ia has become we'll known as the
protege of Miss Clark. in whose pa
latial home she still lives when her
theatrical engagements do not take
her from New York.
Miss Clark sent her to school and
engaged the best of dancing teach

grace she was certain of success as
a dancer. That Miss Clark was not
mistaken. is best evidenced by Aleta
herself. The little girl, for she is
still only a child, executes all the
dances assigned to her in "Adrienne"
with a grace and eXpertness that
have astonished audiences in most
of the larger cities of the United
States.
In addition to all this she has a
most magnetic personality, and has
danced herself into the hearts of
not only every man that has seen
her, but what is much more difficult.

Some six years ago, in New York
a young playwright sailed forth in
search of a certain type Of actor to
create a novel role in a new play.
/. The play was ready, the balance
Tof the company engaged and the
doors of the Cort Theater stood hos
pitably open waiting to receive the
completed production.
Nowadays with the desperate
shortage of theaters in New York
the doors of any playhouse would
not be allowed to stand open long
, before some houseless producer
would have his newest Offering
parked firmly on its stage. for a
week or two at least. But in those
days producers could pick their the
aters and hold them in allegiance un-
til the play was ready.
One day, the playwright came
across William Courtenay and i'm
mediately approached him with the
new role. Courtenay was every
thing that the part demanded-
young. handsome, an actor of thor
ough skill-with just the polish and
daredeviltry required to create the
part of the young adverturcr. Steph-

The actor liked the part and the
play as well as he liked the author,
Roi Cooper Megrue.
Under Cover" was a big hit
keeping the Cort Theater going for
six months and then moving to Bos-
ton where IL broke all records for
long engagements. The next season
Mr.. Megrue had a new play ready
called Under Fire" and William
Courtenay created the principal role.
Under Fire" was a success but not
such a decided one as the first play.
Now after a lapse Of five years we
have Roi Cooper Megrue announc-
ing the premier of his latest comedy.

The appeal of the theater," says
Grace George, was never more po-
tent than now. The past year has
been, l believe, the most successful
in the annals of the American stage.
The war demonstrated the tremen-
dous value of the theater in our
national life; it proved it's place
among the necessities and as a re-
suit we are becoming more than
ever nation of playgoers.
After all. the theater is the cas-
tie of imagination, the tent, so to
speak, of dreams, in which, and
through some character in the play.
We see ourselves idealized in our
minds eye. The man of so watches
the lovemaking of the youthful
hero, and is carried back through
the years. He sees himself as he
was, or possibly as he imagines he
was, in the heyday of his own ro-
nance. and the sight is pleasant
dis companion in fancy sees her
self as the heroine across the foot
lights, and for a time, at least, the
sometimes weary road to reality is
deserted for the little-traveled path
of romance.
And so 1T is with the youngsters.
They see in themselves the particu-
lar characters in the pldy who have
aroused their admiration. They say
to themselves, 'Ah. If opportunity
every comes my way. that is what
will do
Men and women pass the greater
part of their lives in secret. 1t is
in the playhouse that they en-
counter themselves. that they meet
their secret hopes and fears, the
inner longihgs and untold ambitions
as they are retold in the play.
THE theater has a tremendous
significance in its influence upor
our private lives, for no play-no
matter how far short it may come
of being a transcript of life-car
ever fail to make at least an in
direct appeal to some ones problem
of living"

You could force II on them. perhaps.
by shouting Harry Beresford' ip
electric lights and all over the bill
boards, but a mans name doesn't
mean much until you know him. No,
a Broadway star cannot be made
without first a Broadway following;
and this doesn't come overnight

the West, ! was audacious enough
to let myself be billed as a star. but
not with a Broadway reputation or

forty seasons hence, II you came
around and said. 'Beresford, how'd

AS soon as a cast is assembled for
Her Lord and Master" Alice Joyce's
next picture for Vitagraph, a COM
pany will journey southwark to film
exteriors. Walter McEwen has been
selected to play the part of an Eng
lish noble, but the name of no other
member of the cast has yet been
made public. Edward Jose accompa-
nies Miss Joyce as the director Of
her next production. which, by the
way, is by Martha Morton.
Dramatic critics SO often have the
opportunity to build their caustic
witticisms about stage folk that the
people of the theater relish an op-
portunity to tell any quip that turns
the laugh on the reviewers.
Dorothy Smoller. who is playing
in Arman Kaliz's Temptation" tells
one that is giving Broadway many
smile at present. 1t is Haywood
Broun's bon mot at his own expense.
Mr.. Broun. a prominent New York
critic. at one time was engaged to
marry a noted Russian danneuse.
The romance ran a turbulent course
before it ended in q disagreement.
A year ago the dramatic critic had
occasion to write an adverse opinion
about play produced by the Hattons.
The drama was one Of Long Island
society life and the reviewer said
that it was conceived falsely. The
! authors replied by saying that for
mer baseball writer could not be
| expected to know anything about
society.
At the beginning of the present
New York theatrical season another
play by the Hattons, "The Checker
board" which dealt with the adven-
lures of stranded troupe of temper
amental Russian dancers, was pro-
duced. Miss Smoller played a lead
I ing role in that production.
"On the night of the PREMIERE" she
says, "a frierd of MIR. Broun's met
him in the lobby of the theater after
the performance had concluded
How do you like it? he asked
! the critic.
Well came the drawing answer
when they read my criticism this
time the Hattons won't be able to
say thnt l don't know anything
about Russian dancers"
