There is no life story of Be-
lasco. His biographers have
taken care that the printed
page will preserve his memory
for posterity. The nameless
little brochure is an inventory of
achievement. 1t isn't even in
narrative form. Simply forty
seven pages of play-titles and
dates and names of theaters.
The prodigious capacity of the
man is appreciated best when it
is mentioned that, beyond sew
enty now, he has in preparation
for production five new plays
by himself; three on which he
has collaborated and thirty-one
by various others. Further he

a dramatic production of "Mme.
Butterfly" perhaps with Lenore
Uric and also contemplates pro-
ducing king Richard IT.; "King

Caesar; "King Lear" and "A

Plays he has already produced
as tryouts, which New York has
not seen and which he has

presented at the Belasco Thea
ter here in 1918 with Frances
Starr. Five others which saw
brief snatches of light in other
cities between 1914 and 1913,
will also be overhauled for
Broadway.
Belasco's career in the East be-
gan in October, 1882, at the old
Madison Square Theater, New
York, where he staged Young
Mrs. Winthrop" the famous play
by Bronson Howard, which ran
for 200 consecutive performances.
Washington was discovered by
the prophet in January, 1898,
when he produced at the National
1.-The Girl | Left Behind Me- with
Edna Wallace and others.
Since that time Belasco has fav-
ored the Capital with sixteen pre-
miereE and almost countless tried
and trying attractions. Plays like
THE H1rem" and 1.-THE Dove" are

though they enjoyed appearances

and forever after, Belasco has
shown deeper concern in the thea

During his primary school days

the schoolroom and concerned him

them and teaching his unwilling

Up until about 1875 Belasco had
acted in several hundred roles and
either for emergency or for novel
tvs sake he had found it neces-

new ROMANCE OF
THE BOUNDING
MAIN

To overcome a world shortage
of bromine. which threatens to
hit both. industry and science,
the steamship Ethyl. equipped as
a.. complete chemical plant, will,
it was announced in New York
this week, sail April Is to search
the seas for this raw material,
called essential to medicine, to
motion pictures, to photograph,
and to the ethyl fluid of motor
/. fuel.
Refitted as a factory for re-
covering bromine from sea water,
the Ethyl, formerly the Lake
Harminia Of the United States
Shipping Board, will clear from
Wilmington, Del, on what is
probably the strangest voyage
ever undertaken by a vessel of
commerce. She will call at no
port, and, roaming the ocean,
will extract her cargo from its
waters.
: Chemical experts who are MEM
bers of the American Chemical
Society estimate that LOO gal
Ions of sea water contain one
pound of bromine. Hence, it is
the Ethyl's mission to remove
this seven one-thousandths of one
per cent of bromine in the sea
water, with which it is planned
to refill the worlds bromine
storehouse, emptied by the rapid
development of ethyl gasoline in
automobile operation.
In an official announcement OF
the voyage, A. NJ. Maxwell, vice
president of the Ethyl Gasoline
Corporation, owners OF the vessel,
said an entirely new process Of
bromine extraction would be en-
ployed. This process, according
to Mr.. Maxwell, is expected to
yield on the Ethyl 100000 pounds
Of brornine per month. To pro-
duce this quantity, the Ethyl will
draw aboard 1000 gallons Of sea
water minute.
1.-The voyage" Mr.. Maxwell con-
tinued, ''is IAN experiment unique
both in chemical manufacture and
commercial. navigation. The sue
cess Of this venture may give an
entirely, new aspect to the manu-
facture of bromine, which here
tofore has been laboriously recov-
cred from mineral springs and
from the potash deposits of Ger
many. -
Success, Furthermore, may
mean the equipping Of a fleet
Of bromine. ships and the crea-
ton of floating chemical indus
tries for the recovery from the
seas Of other valuable constitu-
ents to enrich mankind.
1.-THE Ethyl, OF 4,30O tons dead
weight capacity, was purchased
from the U. S. Shipping Board
at a price comparable to or even
below that at which land on the
seashore could be purchased for
the plant it carries.
$50 great quantity of water is
drawn in that the recovery plant
has been built on a ship, because
by placing the machinery, actually
at or below the water line the
energy required for pumping sea
water is reduced TO a very low
minimum
Further, the effIuent is read
lily dissipated by the waves, thus
completely avoiding the problem
of sewage disposal, often seri-
Gus to communities.
also, when on the high seas,
there will be difficulty from
fumes, another prolific source of
trouble"
Laboratory tests, it was said,
have proved the practicability of
the new process, which has pro-
vided industry with its newest
romance and navigation with one
of it's uueerest tasks.
