The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1921-11-27

HTlHERES an old saying that has
to do with waiting long
enough and you'll surely get
what you've been wishing for through
all the years and l am reminded of
this fact, for when / met beautiful
Gladys Hanson here several years ago
with Kyrle Bellew, 1 mentioned to
her how much I'd like to meet the
man who had won her heart and
hand.
Last week l had this pleasure
when Mr.. Charles Emerson Cook paid
visit to Birmingham-and brought
''tidings of good things from his beau
tiful wife. who is now the star OF
''Mecca"-twin sister to "Chu Chin
Chow" which will bring Bagdad s
splendors to Birmingham this week.
Tall, handsome, his black hair
slightly tinged with gray. his big
brown eyes expressive of the culture
and artistry of the man, Mr.. Cook
towers over six feet in height-his
splendid physique and handsome APP
rearanee suggesting the financier,
banker, magnate of high degree, and
he also has a mind filled with rare
treasures of "reminiscences, among
them being fifteen years of service
and otherwise.
TT was during my connection with
Mr.. Belasco that 1 met Gladys Han
son." Mr. Cook told me, 1.-The lovely
southern girl, and our romance, court
ship and marriage took place during
that time In the meantime, had
made the acquaintance of Morris Gest
Mr.. Belasco's -in-law-and rec
ognizing his splendid talent / admired
him extravagantly and knew that he
would be one of the great theatrical
producers of the world in time, and
in my pleasant association with him
I have realized his ability"

purple as the lights change when the
dancers revolve."
THE fashion show in the bazar
scene comes near the end of the play,
and naturally it is placed there be-
cause every artist reserved what he
considers his best work for the
crownng exhibit. Mr.. Anderson, in
designing the costumes of the ~
mannequins, has here exhibited a
vivid Imagination which surpasses
even the strangest conceptions of
Leon Bakst. Some of them are re-
productions Of STYLES true to the pc
Rod. Perhaps all of them are, If
one cares to deal with the question
of historical accuracy, but If the
women of Bagdad ever wore these
fantastic and extraordinary creations
which made modern ladies gasp with
amazement and establishment at
every performance of "Chu Chin
Chow" then IL was lucky thing fo~
their purses that there we're no war
taxes in those days.
1.-The mannequin display, a feature
which has aroused so much discus
sion among artists and theatre goers.
Is staged in the street scene of the
bazaar. A reason for the fashion dis,
play is found in the sudden wealth
of Mabubah, the shrewish wife o.
Ala Baba. who decides to invest her
gold in fine attire. She goes to the
silk bazaar and the merchant ex-
hibits his wares on living name

yellow, with silver spangles sewed

when Mr.. Gest produces a play
he always invites Mr.. Belasco to see
it before it Is put on and to suggest
any changes and make any comments

does, the intimate attention 10 detail
that Mr.. Belaseo gives to every stage
setting.
II recall that once when / was
with Belasco he produced a play in
which a fireside scene was shown"
Mr.. Cook said. TN order to make it
look homelike and natural, as the
old people and the children were sit
ting beside the fire in the evening, 1t
was necessary to have kitten to
complete the scene-lapping up milk
out of a saucer.
How to accomplish this was a
mystery" said Mr.. Cook. but the
ever inysntfui Beiasco decided upon
novel plan: he locked the little
black and white kitten up in the
basement of the theatre for hours
before the show, without anything
to eat or to drink and when the time
came for the fireside scene, the kit

went straight to the stage where a

Anyone clever at compiling statis-

sively that the words wasted each
year in needless argument, would
lap clear around the globe with
enough left over to reach from
Springfield, Mass, to the outskirts of

Deep down in the heart of every

tail is given by Mr.. Belasco's sen-in-
law, Norris Gest, in his superb pro-
ductions of The Wanderer, tChu Chin
Chow and Mecca" said Mr.. Cook.
THE glories of 'Chu Chin Chow
win reveal a rainbow-tinted prfs-
matte spectacle that both dazzles and
delights the eye. 1t is the general
verdict that the celebrated Leon
Bakst has been rivaled by his Eng
glish competitor who has broken suf-
ficiently away from the Russian in
fluence to take advantage of the best
art evolved in the centuries by Per-
sia, Egypt and Gilman fact, the
whole of the mysterious orient which
inspired Bakst," said Mr.. Cook.

responsible for the riot OF color in
'Chu Chin Chow has drawn upon
every known color for his harmoni-
