Ralph Morgan, of !
"Buddies,'' Now in
White Feather Role

Ralph Morgan has come to his pres
ent Characterization of Stanley Ben
nett, the central masculine figure in
the SelwyIi production of "The Poppy
God" at the Hudson Theater, along the
path of singularly effective roles.
To begin at the beginning, Mr.. Mor-
gan had no intention of following the
drama as 4 profession. Having been
graduated from Columbia, he was head
ed toward the bar fthis city, largely
nent lawyer and the entire family Of !.
the present Ralph ambitious to have
the lad follow in the footsteps of his
famous grandparent. To please his
relatives and fulfill their expectations
young Morgan was actually handling
piles of law books in a downtown Of x
fee when he discovered that the work
was uncongenial beyond even his great
est fear. 1t wasn't an easy matter to !
prove to his family that square peg
can accomplish nothing in a round
hole, but when it was done Mr.. Nor
gan turned his attention to the stage
"a profession for which he had 81
lently yearned all through his years
at Columbia.
While still in college he proved his
histrionic ability. Active in amateur
theatricals, he was invited to play
role in special matinee of lbsen's
Loves Comedy" given at the very
theater in which he is now painting
vivid portrait of the tragic hero Of
"The Poppy God" He mad at this
time already begun to practice law,
and had become so convinced that it
was not his meter that his heart sang
over the praise heaped upon him by
his friends because of his perform
ance in the Ibsen piece.
He abandoned law, and accepted
stock company engagement in Rich
mond, Va. In George c. Tyler's pro-
duction Of "Blue Glass" Mr. Morgan
made such an impression that ne res
ceived an important part in Clyde
Fitch's "The Bachelor" After tsis the

The difficulties that traditionally be-
set the path Of the young woman who
seeks stage career are unknown to
the pink and persuasive Hazel Dawn,
who is at present one of the chief at
fractions in Getting Gertie's Carter
the Collision Hopwood farce which A. H.
Woods is presenting at the Republic
Theater. Miss Dawn is still in her
twenties and can contemplate a rarely
successful past, to say nothing Of a
more than promising future.
Miss Dawn showed originality from
the very beginning. Instead of follow
ing the traditional custom Of most
actresses by being born in Chicago and
being educated in a convent, she made
her debut on this green earth in Ogden,
Utah, and was educated in the schools
of the Mormons. She earlv revealed
musical proclivities, so she was sent to
Munich and Paris, where she learned
to sing and to play sweetly upon the
flddle. Thence she went to London and
made her stage debut in "The Dollar
Princess." He next appearance was in
Dear Little Denmark at the Prince
of Wales Theater in London.
1t was at about this time that
fortune began to smile most benig-
nsnily on Miss Dawn. Ivan Caryll, the
composer Of "The Pink Lady" saw
her play ir London and engaged her
to play second lead in "The Pink
Lady, in New York.
Miss Dawn sang for the first time
for Mr.. Klaw and for Mr.. Erlanoer

Episodes From Bible
To Be Screened i'm
Fifty-two Reels

A series of motion pictures consist
ing of fifty-two one-reel episodes from
the Bible is now in course of produc-
tion. The scenarios were prepared by
John Hubbard and are designed for
release in Sunday schools, churches and
church societies. They will be distrib-
uted by National Nom Theatrical Mo-
tion Pictures, Inc.
Three groups Of Biblical photoplays,
each of which contains from five to
twelve separate subjects, will be built
into one reel photoplays. Each reel
will be treated from a strictly his
torical standpoint, with due care given
dramatic incidents, atmosphere and
Characterization. A group of episodes
from both the Old and New Testaments
will be filmed and treated in sucf, a
way as to be of equal value before
Protestant, Catholic and Jewish con-
gregations.
Among the reels planned for the first
years program are two two-reel pic
lures interpreting the life and mission
of Christ as symbol of redemption
These pictures are designed for ad-
vancsd Sunday school use, church lee
ture bureaus, Christian Endeavor and
Epworth League societies and for lay
use where special religious education
Is required, as in theological seminaries,

Burlesquing the
Championship Bout
In s'Mimic World''

Patrons of the Dempsey-Carpentier
fight Of recent memory have discovered
that the big fight between James Bar
ton and Lon Hascall, which is the final
scene in "The Mimic World of 1921" at
the Promenade Theater, is burlesque
replica of the recent four-round affair
OF course, Barton has his own concep-
tion Of prizefghting, and SO has Has
call, but the burlesque blows are in the
sequence that study of the motion
pictures of the big fight would indi-
cate. 1t is an open secret that, while
Barton uses no French accent, yet he
is impersonating Carpenter. His fighter
in "The Mimic World" is more con-
cerned during the exchange of blows
with keeping his hat on than with win
ming. That is Barton's basic idea of
French character for purposes of fun
That Barton wins is but another piece
of satire.
1t is something of a lark for Barton
to appear on the summit of the Cen
tury each night, Immediately after his
performance in "The Last Waltz"
downstairs. AS it happens, his appear
ances in "The Last Waltz" are over
when the hour arrives for the fight on
the stage Of the Promenade Theater,
and he happily climbs aloft in the ele-
vator. Barton never has the same lines
twice. Generally when he reaches the
Promenade Theater he has thought out
during the day some bit of satire or
burlesque dealing with some well
known actor OR public man, or some
news event. This he at once intro
duces into his fight scene. The entire
Mimic World" company is gathered
on the stage, in roles ranging from
timekeepers and referees to mere spec
tators. So any sally from Barton which
deals with theatricals is instantly un-
derstood on the stage and arouses ap-
plause and laughter.
For instance, there are four dancers
in "The Mimic World" who because of
their constant association are known
backstage as "The Four Horsemen of
the Applesauce." The other evening
when Barton appeared to fight Hascall
he inquired If he was expected to fight
the Pour Horsemen of the Apple
sauce" which brought laugh from the
company, which knew what he meant,
and from the audience, which merely
! got the humor in "Applesauce."
When Barton and Hascall oct
through their comedy and really go to
exchanging blows the blows are real
and not merely illusions Often the stag q
management is in doubt as to which
man will win, in spite of rigid instruc-
tions that Barton is to do 80.

When she finished Mr.. Erlanger came
over, pinched her very pink cheeks
and said, "Why, here is The Pink
Lady herself. Why go any further ?"
And so Miss Dawn received the
title role and scored Broadway
triumph that is now memorable. Her
success in "The Little Cafe" followed.
Not long afterward, Miss Dawn
and her violin appeared again on
broadway In musical play called
The Debutante." Then the movies

Miss Dawn devoted her talents ex-
clusively to the screen. 1t was A.
