MR.. DAVID BELASCO owes as few
AVA obligations to theatergoers as any
impreSsario of his time. In his long
career he has given his audiences their
moneys worth, doing his very best to
amuse them. He loves his public with
a passion unusual to Broadway, hot and
reverential.
1t is startling, nevertheless, that a
man Of Mr. Belasco's years and achieve
ments in the theater should have the
energy and ambition to produce play
of such scenic magnitude as Ference
Molnar's Nina without hope of
retrieving his preposterous expenditures,
he has undertaken the task as matter
of pride, rather than vanity, planning
it as an obeliSk to his career, built by
funds earned and disburSed by himself
alone. In what, it is assumed, is his
valedictory, he says, in phrases perhaps
too gaudy for so sentimental an event,
that he is satisfied. And now," he
writes, David Belasco gives to the
world another of his per-playS-the
production which is his gift, his con-
tribution to stage art. It is the tribute
of an adept of the theater to the gods
of the stage, unselfish and without
thought of personal reward"
The play selected by Mr.. Belasco to
commemorate himself is another of the
antic Molnar'S naive and ingenious
combinations of satire, extravaganza,
spectacle and grand opera. He'll is its
locale, and all the devils are there,
formulating new conspiracies with
which to damn mankind. The Belasco
