In The Land of Make Believe
By WALTER D. HICKMAN

The sincerity in which David Belasco
has developed detail in creating his
scenes for the stage has aided materially
in advancing Mr.. Belasco to the dizzy
station of being considered the best ex-
ponent Of realism on the stage today.
Mr.. Belasco has exhibited the careful
ness in which he developes realistic de-
tail in 1.-THE Music Master" 1.-The Re
turn Of Peter Grimm" and many others.
When Mr.. Belasco creates a room, IT
gives one the impression that real people
could live in 1t for years. That is what
mean by realism.
Indianapolis this week has witnessed
a little biz OF realism at the hands OF
Stuart Walker at the Murat. In the
second act Of Mammals Affair" it is
necessary or Regina Wallace to cook her
breakfast. Mr.. Walker could have faxed
this scene and allowed the audience to
draw from the storehouse of the imagi-
nation. Mr.. Walker has done as
Mr.. Belasco would have handled the
scene, l believe.
Miss Wallace actually cooks coffee
and scrambles two eggs for her dainty
breakfast The effect obtained by this
actual cooking scene results in a pleas.
ing and secure effect upon the audience
The "perfme' of scrambled eggs and
boiling coffee gives the impression that
Miss Wallace is having a real breakfast
Just as the authors intended that she
should. This little scene is a splendid

play by John Hobble. This comedy was
first produced at the Belasco Theater.
Washington, d. c., on June II, 1918,
opening the following fall in New York,
where it ran for a full year. The orig
inal cast included such names as Jeanne
Eagels, Bruce McRae, John Cope and
George Abbott.

example Of the worth and ability Of Mr.
Stuart Walker in creating effective
realism on the stage.
When 1t comes too obtaining the needed
results in realism, Mr.. Walker believes
in being real. He could have faxed this
scene, but If actors are to eat on the
stage and actually make the public be-
heve they are eating. the way to do 1t is
to use real hen eggs, little electricity
and a cute little skillet.
A fine bit o. work, Mr.. Walker.

OF life. They are brought to a sense OF
the splendid happiness of life when It is
