nineteen years I never had one. 1
wonder II you could help me TO find
some one who has a lot of money and
could afford to give me a good time
(without pay) Just for a week"
This was the touching appeal that
appeared in a New York newspaper
short time ago. 1t was sent out by
Helen v. Collins, little girl, hope
lessly crippled, from Amsterdam. \. Y.
If she could have accepted all the offers
that poured In within one short day,
little HeIen's good time" probably
would have lasted a year instead of a
week,
The same day that Helen was
pleading for a good time another lit

with a flood light shining on her, re-

The Ginghan1 Girl. %

A BOUT once every year theatrical
Broadway is treated to a sur
prise, and this season. it is claimed, it
came in the form of THE Gingham
Girl a musical comedy. presented by
Laurence Schwab and Daniel Kusell.
To the wiseacres of Broadway these
young men were practically unknown.
kusell was young author. who came
to New York from his native Chicago
only two years ago. Schwab, fresh
from Harvard University, arrived in
Manhattan about the same time. and
the two pooled their fortunes. Their
cash was limited, but their sincerity
inspired confidence and they were
able to secure some credit.
After months of hard work they
produced a musical comedy and tried
it out on the road. Tho prominent
theater owners of New York had no
to secure a Broadway playhouse.
Ultimately they secured a tentative
booking at the Earl Carroll Theater,
which had opened its doors five
months before and had housed a series
of failures. To take an unknown
show, without a star, into this the
ater seemed the height of folly.
To make matters worse THE Cling
ham Girl" opened in New York on one
Of the hottest nights in August. Sew
eral important productions opened the
same night and the critics entirely
overlooked the new musical comedy,
and they did not get around to 1t un-
til later in the week.
Months went by. The shows that
opened at the same time and prevent
ed the critics from attending the
premier of The Gingham Girl" left
New York one by one. Other shows
followed, and they, in turn, went to
the storehouse or on tour. Through

prejudices. He believes in the Green

by Edward Clark. The company was

Special Correspondence Of Tie Star.
NEW YORK, March 11.-Negotia-

ater and a prominent motion picture
concern will furnish Broadway good
deal to talk about within the next
few days.
This extraordinary company of
actors has already provoked more dis
cussion than any one theatrical ven-
ture in American history. and its
press agent has passed up record
footage of printed publicity. After
playing to eight weeks of business
quite as unprecedented, the New York
engagement has been extended a
month, and q short tour of Boston,
Chicago and probably Philadelphia
Will follow.
At the close Of the tour Stanislav-
skys Russians will appear before the
camera in the first film they have ever
made As a matter of fact, this will
undoubtedly be the first photoplay for
which tho entire company of ono of
Europe's really great theaters have
ever posed. Members OF this troupe
have appeared now and then in Rus
sian-made pictures, which could not
be successfully exhibited in America
but which showed the vivid effect pro-
duced by their expressive faces. their
vigorous bodies and their eXtraordi-
