Belasco Never Forgets.

HOLBROOK BLINN, who essays the
L star role in Willard Mack's new
play, THE Dove" was born in San
Francisco January %, 1872, and is a
graduate of Stanford University. He
first appeared on the stage in 1873
as a child in 1.-THE Streets of London"
His last appearance in Washington
was in the title role in The Bad
Man" Mr.. Blinn's Summer home,
known as Journeys End, is one of
the show places at Croton-on-Hud-
son, N. Y
It was Holbrook Bllnn's famous
mother, Nellie Holbrook, who was
David Belasco's teacher in the San
Francisco public schools. Both were
stage-struck, teacher and pupil. Nell
lie Holbrook coached him for his
famous youthful recitation, The
Maniac" Her recitation at that time
was "Sheridan's Ride"
When young Belasco devoted all of
his time to dramatics, she did his
other studies for him and so helped
him. Later both devoted their lives
to the theater, she becoming famous
as Shakesperian star, described By
William. Winter in his life of David
Belasco, as "a beautiful woman, a
blond of ivory complexion"

THE acquisition of Irene Pavloska
by Arthur Hammerstein for Rose
Marie" the big New York musical
hit booked for Washington next
week, is said to be due TO the fact
that that producer has a decided
recollection for grand opera stars,
for there seems a dearth of Broad
way talent at hand to sing roles that
require voice, acting ability and per-
sonality. However, the astute HAM
merstein has turned to grand opera
for his stars.
Arthur Hamm erstein first signed
Mary Ellis of the Metropolitan Opera,
New York, and then Myrtle Schan.
And now he has signed Irene Paw
loska, the latter of the chicago
Opera Company. The two former
songbirds Immediately leaped into the
star class and the latter, whose work
with the Windy City opera company
has been of exceptionally high
caliber, should bring great success TO
Rose Marie"
The reason, it is claimed, that so
few grand opera stars essay the
lighter or operetta forms of musical
plays Is because they are so thor
uughly ingrained in the roles OF the
standard operas, whose technique has
been handed down for generations
and allows of little creative ability
to creep into their performances, and
if they remain very long away from

Burlesque entertainment of today
Is distinctly catering to woman pa
tronage. Time was when the mere
mention of the word "burlesque" was
an offense to polite ears. Thanks to
the herculean efforts of Sam A. Serb
ner. president and general manager
of the Columbia burlesque circuit,
this has been changed, and today in
the Gayety Theater in Washington
there is less danger or encountering
scenes, situations and dialogue to Of
fend than in the big revues from
Broadway which fill the big theaters
of the country.
Not only has burlesque been thor
oughly cleansed, but Its quality has
been brought to a high point. In
deed, many OF the favorite enter
tanners OF today were graduated
from burlesque ranks. And it is
these names, perhaps, that serve bet
ter than mere words of explanation
to indicate what sort of talents and
entertainment are to be found in the
modern burlesque show.
In a very incomplete list supplied
by Sam A. Scribner, general manager
of the Columbia Amusement Co., are
to be found the names Of Weber and
Fields, David Warfield, Louise Mann
AL Jolson, Nora Bayes, Sam Bernard,
James Barton, Dorothy Jardon, Bar
ney Bernard and Alexander Carr,
Clark and Mccullough, Gallagher and
Shean, Eugene and Willie Howard,

Rise of James Rennie.

WHEN James Rennie sees his name
wv this week as featured player in
s.rane Smoke" It ought to give no
small satisfaction to this young man,
who for the last five years has, step
by step, been making progress as an
actor.
When young Rennie, who is Cana
dian and served in the war as an
aviator, first won attention on Broad
way he was the Juvenile with Ruth
Chatterton in Moonlight and Honey
suckle."
MANY things came to Rennie from
that engagement First, he came to
notice as a very manly and desirable
Juvenile and received number or
offers for good Juvenile roles. Second,
he was seen by Lillian and Dorothy
Gish, the film stars, and was selected
by Miss Dorothy to become her lead
ing man in pictures. When Moon
light and Honeysuckle" closed young
Rennie played in two pictures oppo-
site Miss Gish, and then he became
her leading man off stage, following
an elopement to Greenwich, which
even now, after four years. brings a
glow to the young mans eyes.
After his marriage Rennie might
easily and conveniently have remained
in pictures with his wife, but evil
IDENTIFY the stage appealed to him more
than the screen, for the end of his
honeymoon found him playing dash
ing young Spaniard in Spanish Love-.
While managers were looking up
other roles of Spaniards and Italians
to take advantage of Rennie's grow
ing popularity a brief announcement
came from David Belasco's office that
the leading role in Miss Frances

would be taken by James Rennie.

The Chicago company has oeen
clamoring for the return or the IN
valuable Pavloska to its forces and
at the time of her signing with Ham
merstein it was negotiating Tor her
services for guest performances In
Boston in January and February
However. Pavloska preferred Rose
Marie" because. she says. one can
get closer to ones audience in light
opera than in grand opera She
feels, too, that light opera Is less os-
tentatious and the story is more hu-
man and probable.
Arthur Hammerstein, it is said,
snapped up Pavloska at just the right
time, for another big Broadway pro-
Queer had approached the prima
donna with a contract for her to
create the leading feminine role in an
other Broadway musical production
and the composer was waiting to Sc

Stanley Co. Of America

WASHINGTON theatergoers are be-
w ginning to ask questions about
TIE Stanley Co. OF America.
Whence and why has It become an
important factor in theaters in
Washington.
First, let 1t be stated that ground
was broken the past week for the
eighty seventh theater to be erected
by this company. That will give an
Idea of the magnitude OF the organi-
cation. These theaters are located
chiefly in or near Philade lphia, al
though the company has erected and
is operating theaters In New Jersey
Pennsylvania, Delaware and Mary
land and Is shortly to have a magnifi-
cent structure devoted to vaudeville
| and pictures in New York City.
The Stanley Co. announces as Its
guiding principle-service. And to
that is attributed its phenomenal
growth and the success of it's activi-
ties and enterprises. Its chief thea
ter Is the Earle in Philadelphia. II
| was In honor Of this theater that the
Earle in Washington was named, and
the Stanley Co. is directing the lat
ter here. The Earle in Philadelphia
was erected at a cost of s4.500.o00.
The Stanley organization has been
identified with motion picture exhibit
tion from the beginning OF the COM
mercial application of the art. Jules
E. Mastbaum, its president. who also
is president OF the Cosmos Theater
Co. of Washington, the owning cor
poration of the Earle Theater here
was an exhibitor of pictures in Phil
adelphia more than q score Of years
ago. He was the first to build a
picture palace" the forerunner OF
the modern picture theater.

The interests of both organizations
are similar-the booking OF vaude-
vile acts, as well as of feature pic
lures, and the combination is. there
fore, said to be advantageous to both
| organizations.

lected by the Stanley Co.. upon the
recommendation of the Keith Offices

~ icle play. commonly accounted a
masterpiece OF the twentieth century
theater, Is heralded for the National
Theater the week commencing Mon
day evening, February 16, with Julia
Arthur in the title role of Saint
Joan"
From her village of visions through
court. camp and church goes the maid
of France, to trial and martyrdom, so
the dramatic narrative marches. The
medieval background gains body,
character, color. Skill of the stage
orders the course. Romantic or
poetic impulse occasionally plays
over it, and now and again graphic
strokes of Imagination and theater
cleave it together.
More. however, is Mr.. Shaw oc-
cupied with the mental states in
those that judged and condemn ed

CORNELIA OTIS SKINNER, daugh-
ter of Otis Skinner, will be in
Washington all this week playing a
society girl role IN Frank Egan's new
production of Edith Ellis American
comedy, white Collars"
Miss Skinner was born in Chicago
and educated at Bryn Mawr College,
near Philadelphia. She is of the
American brunette type of tall slender
beauty and is generally credited with
having inherited much of her famous
fathers playacting talent.
After finishing her course at Byrn
Mawr, she was sent abroad for a
two-year training for the theater in
Paris, studying with the artists of
the Coincide Franchise and at the
Theater du Nieux Colombier with
Jacques Copeau, who recently played
in New York.
Miss SINNERS first professional APP
pearance, her debut, was made at
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1925-02-01

The role was neither a Moonlight
and Honeysuckle" juvenile nor a
Spanish Love" leading man. Rennie
appeared with Miss Starr as a "gob,"
with his sailors cap on the back of
his head and his speech slangy, I'M
couth. In this character he shared
honors with Miss Starr and enjoyed a
long seasons success.
On the heels of that engagement
Rennie played a blase young French
man in Brock Pemberton's THE Love
Habit" and early this season he
opened in the Frohman production of
1.-THE Best People, in which he played
Western boy who worked for a
wealthy New York family as chauf-
feur.
In Cape Smoke" Mr.. Rennie is still
an American. though this time he is
young Texas rancher, grown rich
when he suddenly struck oil.
