Prophesies That the
Greatest Humorist Will
Hail From BROOKLYN

Marjorie Gateson, who plays Fleu-
rette, the flower girl, in "The Rose
Girl" at the new Ambassador Theater,
was born and brought up in Brooklyn.
BEING born in Brooklyn is common
enough, but Miss Gateson for good rea-
son is pncommonly proud of it.
Being born in Brooklyn has been Il
great help to me in musical comedy"
said Miss Gateson Gas matter of
fact, it's been nay greatest help. Do
you remember the parties you used to
go to in your callow days? Do you
remember how, when Frances had re-
fused to sing after having been coaxed
by every one in the room in turn and
Mehitabel had pleaded lack of practice
as an excuse for disinclination to play
the piano--do you remember, after
these things had taken place, how the
conversation languished fand dropped
and threatened to die Of nanition? And
do you remember how things bright
ened if in the midst of This nail
biting and uneasy silence some one
mentioned Brooklyn? How they
laughed and cackled and let loose the
1ioodgates of their mirth! How their
rapierlike wit played and flickcred
about that word Brooklyn! They
bounced on it as a cat on a mouse.
they slapped it, they batted it, they
turned 1T over and over, they tossed it
IN the air, they lay on their backs and
paved 1t. And when it had become
shapeless and facid from overhandling
they fell on it like wolves and tore it TO
pieces. Then, after they had worried
swallowed and digested the last tags of
the unfortunate borough, the converse
tlon would languish again until some
other wit mentioned Hohoken.
You know, that sort of thing used to
lrk me. / took it as a personal affront.
In fact, my witty acduaintances saw saw,
that did. They forced it on me. And

1schaikowsky's Music
For Anglin Production
Of Trial of Joan of Arc

Margaret Anglin has portrayed many
great dramatic characters, but there is
none that appeals more strongly to the
actress herself than the historically
loved and enthusiastically sainted Joan
of Arc, whose life she will portray in
Emile Moreau's "Trial of Joan Of Arc''
at the Century Theater on Easter Day
under the auspices of the Knights of
Columbus for the benefit of Herbert
Hoover's European Relief Fund
For the first time on the English
speaking stage Miss Anglin produced
this play last summer in San francisco,
her aim being to give it a thorough
try-out before her New York season
Previous to Miss Anglin's portrayal
Nine. Sarah Bernhardt played Moreau' s
Joan" in France.
Why the character Of the maid holds
SO much for Margaret Anglin can best
be explained by the actress herself.
From the standpoint of poetical and
dramatic interest,"" she declares, "the
shepherd girl, as unschooled as she
was unambitious in any personal way,
who humbly followed the call OF what
she believed her inspiration to lead the
armies of France and save her native
land, only to be burned at the stake
as result of her victory, has always
seemed to me the foremost poetical
and dramatic woman's figure in his
tory. She grows in Importance as the
centuries roll along.
'ln Moreau's version of the story we
have an absolutely authentic account,
since he had the advantage of the ac-
tual transcript of records taken at the
farcical pretense of trial 500
years ago; consequently the lines
he has written are the actual words of
the strange Domremy child. This court
record is the soul of the drama and it
is safe to say that Moreau's story of
the maid will not be surpassed in au-
thenticity and fidelity to the character.
His Joan is all spirit. She typifes pure
devotion to an ideal. Thrust into the
presence of her judges by her jailers,
bound around the waist with iron and
manacled with heavy chains, she first
appears q timorous, shrinking girl awed
by her sutferings and the circum-
stances. From this she rises to the
height of tragic power, pleading, de-
nouncing, admiring, scorning, smiling,
weeping, and finally defeating herself
upon the altar of suffering with heroic
sublimity. 1t is the glorious martyr
that is celebrated here, the loveIiest
character in French history"
One of the interesting features Of
Miss Anglin's production will be the
music taken from the Tschaikowsky
opera "The Maid of Orleans" inter
preted by symphony orchestra, full
concert strength, for the first time in
this country.
Miss Anglin will select the cast for
the Joan of Arc production this week
and rehearsals will begin immediately.

Two Kings of Georgia
Are Late Additions to
The Cast of ''Irene':

1t is careless theatergoer who does
not recognize with the first vivacious
words spoken by the two King sisters,
who have just stepped into important
roles of Irene" at the Vanderbit t The
ater, that here are two real Southern
ers not of the professional type.
"Of courss a Georgy girl JUS nat
rally forks lax she Gums fun daoun
thar" say Mary and Jane King and
consider the matter of dialect settled
Their family has been learning the
Southern speech for 273 years and they
can go back and draw a family tree of
their own almost as high and old as
the one described in "Irene" that has
sprouted from the kings of ireland to
Irene O'Dare.
In the town of Roswell, Ga, is Bar
rington Hall, that for generations was
the ancestral home of Roswell King
and mis- descendants, Mary and Jane
King among them, and there are also
the towns of King in Georgia and Ala
bama that were named for their family.
But their tree was no sapling even in
1647, when Roswell King settled in the
south after his arrival on the ship
called the Second Mayfower from
England, where his progenitors had
been landowners for generations.
Maybe there was a throw back" to
the spirit of their adventurous ances-
tors in Mary and Jane King, for they
ran away to become actresses when the
elder was but fourteen, and they must
have had all their dimples and dancing
daintiness at that time, for they were
readily accepted by travelling com
pahy. 1t took four weeks for their
father to find them, and then they were
sent back to Georgia boarding school.
Later came their finishing" at the
Adephi College in Brooklyn, but once
with diplomas in hand nothing could
keep them from the footlights. In two
years they became vaudeville head
liners and sang old-fashioned songs
with Old-fashioned charm.
Then came their opportunity 10 ap-
pear with FRITZ Scheff in the musical
comedy "Gloriana," and it was at this
time the two youthful Southerners be-
gan to be likened to the Dolly Sisters,
likeness that grew more pronounced
as their dancing came to include al
most any kind of step that could be
danced and was not confined TO the
soft-shoe shufties Of the South and
the minuets they had first used.
Nowadays in "Irene" Mary and Jane
King are supposed to be New York
shop girls with the most perfect of
Southern accents) who grow with fine
clothes and social training to person
ages of fashion with soft Southern
speech( and when one Of them says,
II could marry Tomorrow if / would
live in Kansas City" her audience

from Atlanta, Ga. These twigs of one

MIR. Warwick had season as lead
ing man with Grace George in "Captain
brassbound's C0nversion.' And then
he turned to the profitable field of mo-
tlon pictures to pick up, as ne de-
clared, some of the gold which was
being scattered in all directions He
played leading roles in Paramount pro-
ductlons at time when stage stars
we're fast deserting the footlights for
the screen. His parts were usually of
the romantic type.
He had headed his own motion pic
ture company for six months when the
United States entered the war. The
actor lost interest in travelling a studio
lot, with grease paint on his face and
resculng distressed damsels from
seemingly hazardous situations. He
wrote letter to Colonel Roosevelt,
offering his services in the event that
q Roosevelt division" was to be formed
Tor overseas service. When the tender
OF this division of volunteers by Colo
mel Roosevelt was refused by Presi
dent Wilson, Warwick resigned from
ms picture company and went to the
ofhcers' training school at Plattsburg.

gence department of the General Staff
IN France. Afterward he was attached
to the staff of the French General Gov

France for year, making the rank of
major:
At the close of the war Robert War
wick was broke and out of a job. Bor-
rowing carefare, he again set out for
HOLLYWOOD. He remained in pictures
Tor year, but his experience in France
had destroyed all taste for the ad-
ventures which he had been accustomed
to meet on the screen. He was eager
to return to the stage, and at the con
clusion of his film contract he came
back to New York and took an engage
ment as the star of the Shubert pro
duction "The Spider" The Shuberts
IN the mean time had signed him to a
long-term contract, and he was next
presented in THE Dauntless Three, y
which was seen out of town.
Then came the French naval snec-
tacle, "ln the Night Watch" which is
earning him new laurels as q stage
hero.

But few actors on the American stage

Night Watch" at the Century Theater.
Mr.: Warwick studied for grand opera

New York and went in for romantic
career on the stage, renounced the
stage at intervals for the lucrative field
OF the movies, turned his back upon
the screen to respond to the call of his
country in the war, and after brief
temperance on the screen is again
acting upon the stage.
Mr.. Warwick has usually PLAYED he
rolc roles. He is of heroic mold. He
possesses the stature, the voice, the
manner of the traditional stage hero.
HIS rise has been rapid. He has ap-
peared as leading man with many fa-
nous women stars and his screen rec
ord is one of amazing success. Now
that he is back in the theater. he is
eager to declare that he prefers to
play on the stage, if only for lust a

is so eminently satisfying to hear ones

long years OF preparation ahead OF
