Trials of Outside
Producer Seeking.
Star for His Show

~ HEM Charles Purcell took the
H tenor role in "The Right Grip
at the Times Square Theater
recently, Virgil Randolph, producer of
this musical play, was about the happi-
est man in New York.
This being Mr.. Randolph's first pro-
duction on Broadway, he had little
knowledge of the difficulties which
sometimes lie in the way of securing
just the leading man, or the prima
donna, one may wish. Having heard 50
much of the hardships Of player folk
IN getting engagements, Randolph had
an idea that all he would have to do
would be to shake the theatrical tree
and his leading man would fall into his
lap-or something equally easy. When
he began to cast "The Right Girl
however, he learned bitter lesson in
this direction.
Purcell was the first approached
The new producer was quite staggered
to find the musical comedy star tied
up with an iron-bound contract with
the Shuberts. And even if this had not
been the case, Purcell gave no indica-
ton OF enthusiasm in entering the ser
vices of an unknown producer as lead
ing man of musical play as yet un-
tried Somewhat crestfallen, Randolph
went about his business of finding the
right people for the piece he had
bought for production. He found that
his preconceived ideas Of plenty of idle
players was quite correct in one re-
spect but entirely wrong in the most
vital direction, for all the folk he most
wanted were under contract to some
established firm. Rallying from his
disappointment, Randolph went ahead
with his production, but he never gave
up his determination to get Purcell for
the leading role of "The Right Girl"
although he had to wait until the piece
was we'll launched before he could turn
the trick, which was finally done
through arrangement with the -Shu-
berts.
Mr.. Randolph's desire to have Mr..
Purcell sing the tenor melodies Of "The
Right Grip was justiddble. The Shu-
bert star created his first important
role in "The Golden Butterfly" at the
age of sixteen. Between "The Choco-
late Soldier" and "Maytime" there
have been several musical productions
In which the young tenor has been
featured, but these two are the high
lights of his career. Mr.. Purcell was
associated with Peggy Wood in the
original "Maytime'' production during
the several years success of that rem
iniscence Of lavender and old lace. It
was from "The Rose Girl" that RAN
dolph eventually got the young tenor.

comedy. Two love stories develop de-
spite the obstacles manufactured by
pair Of thieves who are on the same
ship, determined to defraud the twins.
