Luck of the New
Theater; A Study
In Superstition
Photo. BY Ira d -sezwavx.

"The next play I'm in" said the
actor, who was looking down West
Forty-eighth Street toward the new
Ritz Theater, where Mary Stuart"
projected over the sidewalk, sis going
to be a play that opens brand new
theater."
"Why's that?' his companion, who
didn't happen to be an actor, demanded.
"Why? Because it's sure to mean a
big hit and nice, long, steady job on
Broadway"
But don't see why" the other per-
sisted. "With so many new theaters
pushing up through the asphalt, like
toadstools after a rain, it doesn't seem
to me as if the public were curious
enough about them to make the play
hit"
ooh, they're not; don't mean that
at ALL the actor patiently explained
~ guess you don't understand. = It's
fate or--or something. Here's Mary
Stuart opers the Ritz Theater and it's
q go from the start, and Miss lanes
lands with both feet. Look at the Cort
Theater, on the same street. What did
it open with ?"
"My Lord, you don't expect me to
remember, do you?" his companion
laughed.
"It opened with Peg o. My Heart"
Look at the Playhouse, across the way.
What was the first regular attraction
in that house? Bought and Paid For'
1t ran and ran, and it made Frank
Craven famous. Look at the Eltingc
Theater. That opened with Within the
Law, and you know what a Knockout
that play was. The Astor opened with
Paid in Full didn't it? Then there's
the Gambler Theater''----
"Never heard of that" said the other
man.
"Well, it's changed it's name a couple
of times since. It's the Sam Harris
now. Anyway, it opened with On
Trial And the Maxine Elliott The
ater, remember what that opened
with ?"
"Ha, ha, dol" laughed his friend.
II happened to be there. 1t was Forbes
Robertson in The Passing of the Third
Floor Back"
Right you are. But can remem-
Der further back than that. I can re-
member when the Park Theater opened
up at the Circle as the Majestic, and
the first show in it was The Wizard
of Oz'-get that THE Wizard of o.
Montgomery & Stone, eh, boy? Fred
Stone danced his way into fame as the
scarecrow in that production. And
Babes in Toyland' came right on it's
heels. Warfield in The Grand Army
Man opened the Belasco and E. H.
Sothern in The Proud Prince opened
the new Lyceum. Those were cases
where the managers chief actor had
the honor of christening the new
stages.
you're superstitious, aren't you ?''
his friend laughed.
"Superstitious, nothing! Where do
you get that stuff? It's just fact, I
tell you. I'm not trying to explain it,
or anything"
"But how about the Bijou, and the
Morosco, and the Apollo, and the"-
~ don't remember what they opened
WITH" said the actor.

"The short skirt has already
