WILMA BANKYaxaWATEp BYRON,
P1Ince
In the New York Theaters
BY Percy Hammond.

prince of great wealth, only to discover
that he has black blood in his veins and
that his mother is a brunette and COM
PLEASANT Nicaraguan. In the play she
elopes to Monte Carlo with musical
giggolo and plans to live happily for
ever after as his partner in Riviera
supper club, catering to vagrant Ameri-
cans.
Mr.. Behrman keeps his adaptation Of
Serena Blandish" in the Arabian
Nights" mood Of the novel, and join
the author in saluting his achievement.
Miss Gordon, as the docile push-over,
seems bit too simpleton now and then
to voice the sagacious epigrams that
fall from her lips; but she is as good a
Serena as you will find outside the
book-a combination of sorceress moron
and ingenue. Mr.. Matthews as the
papal steward is, as usual, a cathedral
Of histrionisn, and Miss Constance Col
lier as the hippogrif countess plays
with the brilliant enthusiasm for which
she is renowned. It has been said that
Miss Golfers representation of this
majestic clown is reminiscent of the late
Mr.. Bert McCoy's description of Marge,
who until the passing Of her creator
was one of the popular females of
Broadway. The stage direc-
ton by Mr. Jed Harris Is in harmony
with the story of Serena, excepting a
few unimportant details. In that scene,
for instance, where the countess and
Serena ride from the slums to Berkeley
Square in swift Danier the atmos-
pheric Bovril sign remains static. And
the animated bus on top of which Sc
rena is a beguiling passenger never
moves an inch beyond the Nelson Mon
ument. Nevertheless the play Is an
expert stunt in the sophisticated the
alter, and I hope again that it will
enable the LADY of quality" to pay the
bills of her Partisan dressmakers.

New Theater In Laurel.

CIDNEY B. LUST, operator of chain
~ of moving picture theaters in Wash
ington, Maryland, Virginia and West
Virginia, has just completed plans for
the immediate construction of a new
theater in Laurel, Md, to replace the
one recently destroyed by fire. The deal
was consummated through Kent r.
Mullikan and Charles H. Stanley of
Laurel.
The new theater will be of Spanish
design, with seating capacity of 1000
and equipped with modern multi
sound organ, large stage and typhoon
ventilators. In addition, there will be
space for four stores on the ground
floor. The structure will cost $4,000
and will be situated on Main street just
off the Washington Baltimore boule-
ward.
The name of the theater will be Sc
lected by Laurel patrons.

THE Anonymous lady of quality"
who wrote Serena Blandish" tells
Mr.. S. r. Behrman that she is aston
ished by the excellence of his dramati-
cation of her book. All her precious
words are there, she says, and all her
scenes, and the stitches with which she
has put them together are so small that
she cannot find them out. Thrilled by
the prospect of the gains that are said
to reward the production of an intelli-
gent drama upon the sidewalks of New
York. she sets out for Paris, there to
buy dresses with her share of the pro-
ceeds. AS one who has heard that dis
appointment sometimes turks in the
most promising of theatrical ventures,
I pray that she has not dropped her
bucket into an empty cistern. For Sc
rena BlandiSh" Is a friendly though
bitter comedy, and nearly every one
concerned in 1t deserves remuneration.
It is right that the novelist should
compliment Mr.. Behrnan for his re-
modelling of her work. He has ripped
1t reverently apart and with the skill
Of deft compassionate has sewed it
up again. While fitting it to the smaller
figure of the stage he has preserved its
personality and has sacrificed few of its
outlines. One of the most amusing
ton of several of the books separated
episodes in the scene which introduces
the play. There in stylish London
restaurant poor Serena miss Ruth
Gordon) shows the reasons for her
failure as woman of the world. She
is desperately in need of money, and
her host, rich young man. has en-
joyed the more intimate pleasures Of
her beauty. Timidly she reminds him
that never has she had gift from him
in appreciation of the liberties she has
permitted him to take. So he guiltily
begs her pardon, promises to be more
generous to his next girl and leaves
her, penniless, to pay the check. AS
giver rather than a receiver. Mr..
Clarence Derwent enters as an oily old
jeWeler. discharges her obligation, and
with his fantastic schemes for her en-
richment the fabulous comedy begins.

Thereafter she Is adopted by an
aberrant Brazilian countess with fad
for dumb animals. In her gorgeous
has accumulated host Of pets, includ-
ing a sick Arab, a pontifical butler "a.
e. Matthews), school Of flying fishes,
tame wart-hog and several unicorns.
It is the countess pleasure to introduce
the waif Serena to her eccentric COM
panions, for the purpose of marrying
her to one or another of them. But
Serena is cursed with passion for
compliance. Though not at all carnal
girl, she is unable to refuse the applica-
lions of her man friends to be good to
them. That benevolent weakness inn
pedes her ambition to be married. Her
Suitors, finding her easy to kiss. bid her
begone and hurry away to more difficult
hunting grounds. In the book Serena

r0unQlngS. he is only an 1nQlVlQ-
ual type, headstrong and defiant
of all restraint at the outset of his
story no less than when he makes
selfish wish the dominant in
fluence of his personal life,
whether in war or peace.
Giving the public what it
wants" is going to be a matter of
increasing difficulty if the public
continues to demand some stu
pendous stroke of originality as in
strange Interlude" or else as in
Nina" some marvel of stage equip
ment regardless of all considera-
tons of cost in making the pro-
duction. Never has the theater
had everything it's own way in ad-
vertiSing exploitation so much as
1t has at present When publicity
was cautiously accorded, play or
an actor could be rescued from
obScurity only by some especial
assertion of merit or novelty.
The press agents chief stock in
trade was the unidentified burglar
who invaded hotel or dressing
room and departed with a double
handful of priceless jewels. This
was considered the limit of i'm
aginative exploitation and made
but a short story, for there is no
recollection of any sequel in which
the burglar was discovered and
brought to justice.
At present the theater Swims in
printers ink. The tinieSt item
concerning any Of it's people is dis
played with SO much prominence
and the meritorious details of each
new enterprise discussed with
such literary sympathy that it be-
comes almost as satisfying to read
about new presentation as 1t
would be to see it.

What the future of the Ameri-
can theater will be is a matter for
interesting speculation, with but
little encouragement for attempt
at positive prophecy. Visits to
cities not yet rivaling New York
and Chicago as centerS of theater-
loving population are no longer
undertaken by producers simply
as matter of routine. A remark
able alternative asserts itself. It
may be less risky to meet the
direct loss of closing a theater
than to attempt the costly trans
portation of a big production.
BelaSco'S Nina" was built into
the theater with no chance of
going on the road. In the general
process of commercial concentra-
ton New York is localizing itself
to a remarkable degree. It be-
comes more and more inclined to
regard itself as the mountain and
the public at large as the philo-
sophie prophet, who decides that,
the mountain remaining Obdurate
to his commands, he will solve the
situation by going thither himself.

The automobile has played a
tremendous part in theatergoing,
making it easy for the suburban
resident for the average city to
attend whatever type of amuse-
ment may be available and pleas
ing. A part in theatrical attend
ance may before very long be
played by the airplane, enabling
metropolis to establish attrac-
lions permanently, to be patron
lied, without great expenditure of
time in travel, by the residents of
vast geographical area.
It is fantastic idea, not likely
to grip the attention of those who
do not possess the sense of mass
service and cannot scrutinize the
future with q .Ford-like .imagina-
l.tioa.

The Theater in Process of
Concentration.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.

The luck of the theater game
has shown extraordinary favor
toward the musical stock company,
which has established itself on a
footing of popular favor compar-
able only to the popularity Of the
annual Summer opera season"
when operetta still retains a re-
lationShip to the more responsible
musical forms. Summer opera"
was a term of accurate definition
and was by no possibility consid-
cred due excepting along with the
flowers that bloom in the Spring.
To attempt musical stock produc-
ton in Midwinter when the
theater is expected to be at the
height of Broadway glories would
have been regarded as an eccen-
tricity of showmanship closely
akin to delirium.
The unprecedented condition
which Is now closing down one at
traction after another has left the
SavoyanS with little opposition
and given them opportunity to
make friends with all the town.
Yet even when prosperity seems
secure the uncertainties which
cause theater enterprise to be re-
ferred to almost invariably as a
game" were in evidence. The
small beginning with large result
was shown by the production of

personality of Thelma Parker be-
came Immediately recognizable
and ready to be capitalized.
So many times has the story of
the artists early struggles been
told by romantic publicity experts,
usually about stars whose orbits
were accurately preordained by
London backing, that it is refresh
ing to find one such story entirely
accurate. When Miss Parker
joined the company she was over
looked in the preparations and al
lowed to feel like the traditional
Stepchild. Her part had not been
copied and her costume not pre-
pared. 1t was such a small part
that the agents who provided the
play on royalty apparently thought
this role might as well be omitted
Like very many actresses Thelma
did not agree with the ways of
Broadway supervision. She, found
the manuscript and personally
copied her part. She also bought
material and by means of her own
needle work provided herself with
correct costuming. Fully equipped
she presented herself at rehearsal
ready to take cues and go on with
the show, which proves that q
