In the Local Playhousess
BY FIRST NIGHTER.

die Is still optimistic and says he Is
still good for many seasons ahead,
Another prominent member OF, the
Cinderella" company who made a hit
with the Broadwayites was diminutive
Ida Mule. If ever. there was a hu-
man being that looked like doll
baby Ida Mule was one. Mule and
Foy, working together along comedy
lines. really made the Henderson pro-
duction a success and when they were
weaned away the Chicago producer
drifted into the background.
When Ziegfeld selected Fannie
Brice for stellar honors and witnessed
her success on Broadway. 1t must
have dawned on him that IL a. woman
with only personal one-line qualifi-
cations could register a big hit. Belle
Baker, with unlimited characterize
tions, would be no risk at all In back
ing her as a star. Fannie Brice Is
solely Hebrew comedienne, but a
wonderful laugh producer. Belle
Baker can speak at least a. half
dozen languages we'll and has studied
the different races with an accuracy
that defies detection. Whether her
present vehicle pleases New York or
not. Belle Bakers standing as an
actress will not be impaired. She has
been a topliner at Keith's for at least
six years. "Of course I am glad to
get into the big show" said Miss
Baker. after regaining her breath dur
ing a rehearsal at the National last
Monday. But whether stick or
not, 1 will never forget my two o-a-day
audiences. Mr. Ziegfeld has certainly
surrounded me with a wonderful COM
pany and my personal opinion Is; that
we will make good on Broadway"
Some day a wide-awake author will
write play for Belle Baker in which
she will play the part of female
detective, something like old John
Thompson's ION Hand" and she will
prove a sensation.
Manager Ira Lamotte of the Gayety
Theater is highly pleased over the
adoption Of the new policy last Fall
and says 1t far outpoints a regular
burlesque program. What Price
Glory" and other straight plays have
been doing exceptionally we'll and 1t
would not be surprising If burlesque
was cut out entirely next season.
"Burlesque starts the week well, but
unless it is an exceptional attraction,
shades off toward Saturday night"
said the manager during the past
week. "With the regular shows the
start may be a little backward hut
the attendance picks UP rapidly and
by the end of the week we are selling
standing room. The fact that the diff
ferent plays are we'll acted and at
very popular prices has appealed to
the public"
