HIS MEGAPHONE

Hardly a black hair left" but ms
youthful countenance belleo nun
One wonders why he doesn cav
italize his good looks by playing
the star part in some OF MS own
pictures.
Mr.. StahPs conversation is usu-
ally in a serious vein but the en-
gaging twinkle in his eye explains
the refreshing sense of humor re-
Elected in his pictures.
While aggressively Interested IN
anything that can help him better
his pictures, he is very conserVa,
tive and retiring in his personal
life.
AS with many other men OF
achievements, Mr.. Stah attributes
much of his success to the frank
criticism of his wife. He tries
out his stories on her and listens
attentively while she picks flaws
and makes suggestions. mrs
Stahl is the first one to see ms
completed pictures and her an
alysis of what rings true and what
doesn't is straight to the point.
Inasmuch as his pictures treat

spare time studying people-ln the

rooms, and other gathering places.

One OF those romances Of
stageland which occur ever so
often is offered in the case of
Lillian Foster, who burst full
bloom upon Broadway as one Of
the best dramatic actresses in
years, and nobody knew who she
was.
It happened in Conscience.
the play which A. III. Woods will
present at the Shubert -Belasco on
Monday evening.
A little blonde girl appeared as
a; waitress the opening night Of
the play at the Belmont Theater,
New York. 1t seemed an incon-
sequential part until the audience
suddenly realized that they were
witnessing one of the finest
pieces of character acting and
tragic announcement they had
ever seen. Next day the critics
declared that Lillian Foster was
wonderful. The press agent and
the manager got together and
they blossomed her in electric
lights. Then they printed adver-
tisements in which they compared
her to Duse. And still nobody
knew who she was.
1t was a big chance that put
this girl in such part, but she
conquered Broadway because she
was ready for the chance.
For more than fifteen years
Miss Foster has been acting,
preparing, working, studying and
making a finished performer of
herself. During this long period
she never got a chance on
Broadway Once she toured in
a third or fourth company of
"Lightnin' That was the
nearest she came to success.
Mostly she trouped in one night
stands, or played long seasons in
stock in small towns. When she
took a job with the Cherry Lane
players and began to rehearsep in
Don Mullally's play. that no
manager in New York would
have anything to do with, she did
not dream that she was about to
achieve her ambition. But A.
H. Woods wandered into q dress

Outside of the studios. very little
Is known of the motion picture
director aside from the fact that
he carries megaphone and
shouts through it on the slightest
provocation.
His function in film life is re-
vealed by his title, but just what
manner of person he really is re-
mains a secret to the public at
large.
On the theory that pictures oers
are chiefly concerned with the APP
pearance, habits, and activities ut
the stars, newspapers seldom de-
vote space to news about the man
who actually makes the pictures.
Probably one of the most inter
esting directorial figures in the
film industry is John NJ. Stahl,
who made 1.-THE Dangerous Age"
and t.Why Men Leave Home" and
whose latest production. Hus-

PARTNERS AGAIN
IN FIELDOF
BURLESQUE

Joseph K. Watson and Will II.
Conan, known as the weber and
Fields of Columbia sBurlesque,
are the featured comedians OF
next weeks attraction at the
Gayety. They are also known as
the pioneer team Of Hebrew
comics of burlesque, having been
together for the past fourteen
years. since their stage debut
in an amateur theatrical per-
Torrance in Boston.
Two years ago Watson deserted
-burlesuue to appear at Keith
vaudeville houses, but at tho be-
ginning of the present season
Watson returned to burlesque
with his partner, Will H. Cohan,
and the pair are funnier than
ever this season.
These comedians will be remem-
bered for their efforts as "Slitkin
G. Slotkin, Refined Lawyers,
Bankers and Brokers'" but this
season they appear as Real Es-
tate Manipulators," and the book
written by Watson is said to be
most humorous.
Watson is a we'll known writer
of jokes and humorous stories.
and he was asked recently why
he preferred burlesque TO vaude'
vile.
"Burlesque is my old love.
Here you find every performe:
congenial. 1t is like one big
family. Working in vaudeville
is somewhat of cold-blooded
proposition. In every city you
visit you have to make new
friends and acquaintance. 1t
is different when travelling with
a company. Throughout the sea-
son you play with the same peo-
pie"
