IVY Ho would aspire TO stellar

w must possess five gifts OF
personality. says Joseph NJ. Gates,
producer of the Shubert vaudeville
unit. Gimme a Thrill" at the
Shubert-Belasco this week These
are magnetism, grace. vivacious-

Also the aspirant should be en-

Magnetism is the most essen

Gates. "It is that subtle some
thing which seems to strike. a re-
sponsive chord in the hearts Of an
audience. II aplayer has mag
netism, the fact is almost certain
to reveal itself the moment he
steps upon the stage. Such an
actor causes the audience to forget

really taking place upon the stage
of life. During my experience in
the show business / have had deal

naturally possessed of magnetism

extent.
Now, don't think that mean
to say that every person possess
ing magnetism would be a sue
cessful actor. might as well tell
you that every man who becomes
a successful physician could be
an equally successful lawyer.
What 1 have been trying to point
out is that magnetism is the
strongest factor in success.

sights" They were always met
at the dock, and sometimes re-
porters went down the bay and
came back with them on the steam
ships.
Those were the days. The new
arrival was feted and wined and
dined and photographed and dis
cussed and invited and acclaimed,
and-always he was applauded to
the echo before he had >even
opened his mouth.
Today it has all changed. We
judge the new actors on their
merits. And there are very few
new artists. Those once famous
have passed on. and there has
been none to take their place.
No new Irvings, or Rejanes, or

Ann Danced When

sobriquet of Darling of the

piquant Ann Pennington. who
comes as the headliner to keith's

the Stewart Sisters.

During the course of this long

efforts to get into Broadway theat-
ricals, but her extreme youth was
q bar. But she did secure one en-
gagement for tour in support of

her to keep on in stock for a little
longer and gave her the specific
advice that Miss Banter has al
ways said was the finest she ever
had. This was to take each

complete earnestness as might be
accorded a Broadway premiere
