BURLESQUE IS
SCHOOL FOR
STARS

A check-up on players who
began their careers upon the
burleSque stage and who are
now in the casts of big Broad
way shows reveals the names
Of 81 men and women, and
they are all recent graduates"
What is more to the point is
the fact that there are now
20-odd performers in Mutual
ranks that have been approach
ed with offers for next season
by producers Of the same char
acter of shows.
Ordinarily this might be con-
sidered a handicap to burles-
que, but the reverse of this is
actually a fact. It keeps rTu-
tual busy discovering" new
talent, which means new faces
and fresh efforts to advance,
and the desirable differences in

OTIS SKINNER
IN HIS 53RD
SEASON

A cast of IL characters, but
sufficient for the purpose Of
the play, will hold the stage
Of the National Theater, the
week of January 81. when Otis
Skinner will be seen in the
title role of Papa Juan" In
Papa Juan, Mr.. Skinner is con-
sidered to have the most diff
ficult role to portray in his
long career, the present being
his fifty-third season on the
stage. He plays an aged, but
not the tottering kind of old
gentleman one might suppose
him to be, and he is Spaniard
Of the higher type.
Mr.. Skinner is old only in
experience, but he must picture
a man over whose head a
great many years have passed.
Although time has dealt leni-
emily with him, and he has
been favored with good health,
the imprint of years must neces-
sarily be shown. and Mr.. Skin
ner has mellowed and ripened
Papa Juan into a delightful
personality.
Papa Juan has numerous
progeny, and it is his dearest
wish that his favorite great
grandchild should marry, ex.
pressing the hope and even
the expectation that he may
take his great-great-grandchild
in his arms. It is an instance
where a wonderful picture of
old age in presented and one
that imparts such a pleasant
impression Of a happy rounded
life and Of supreme content.
Surrounding him on his
birthday are his children,
grandchildren and great-grand-
children. His wisdom. his
knowledge of life, his under
standing and the gentle salve
OF his patriarchal work in
bringing together in perfect
harmony all of his relatives. is
one of the charming pictures
presented.

Wagner's greatest master
pieces are placed first in the
list of four operas, with Iris
tan and Isolde" following
"Walkure" on Wednesday eve
ming. January s. The story of
Die Walkure" (The Valkyries),
second opera of the Ring, shows
a crucial moment in this epic
that tells of that same universal
strife for power and gold that
besets the world today.
Wotan. king Of the gods, has
created eight daughters, the
Valkyries, to heal the wounds
of the world brought about by
this strife. Their mythical power
to gallon on their milk-white
steeds over clouds and noun
tain tops brings a picturesque
element into the opera scene
that can seldom be presented,
but that the orchestra so grip
pingly tells in the famous
Ride OF the ValkyrleS."
The story of "Walkure" re-
lates that the power Of the
gods has been wrested from
them by earthly powers. At
the rise Of the curtain Siegmund
enters, a mortal whom Wotan
has also created to recapture
the gold and to whom he
promises an infallible sword. A
guiding Fate has led Siegmund
to the abode of his twin sister.

HEIDI
IS LETTER"
ATHLETE

Peculiar as it might seem to
the general public, athletes
and good ones-may be found
even in the ranks of orchestra
leaders.
Consider the case Of Horace
Heidi, popular leader Of Hor-
ace Heidt's Californians, who
are appearing for a second week
at the Fox Theater.
There is a. popular notion
that orchestra leaders are nour-
ished on ladyfingers and that
about the only exercise they
ever had in their lives was the
waving Of a baton. Perhaps
this is true in some cases, but
in the case of Horace Heidi it
is emphatically not so.
Heidi represents six feet Of
of height (no pun intended)
filled with hard muscle. And
that Drawn came largely from
Development of the field of
what might be called violent
sports.
When the popular orchestra
leader attended Culver Military
Academy he won a medal for
being an "all-around athlete I"
In the parlance Of sports. that
means he could do just about
everything.

ming, track and basketball. It
was at this institution that he
won a medal for being the best

student.

WALSH CALLS
BRENDEL A
"FIND''

There is one director in Hol-
lywood who would never pre-
sumo to give advice to a young
man about tc become, or de-
string to become, a director.
The man is Raoul Walsh. Un-
orthodoxy is IN important prin-
ciple in his creed, It is his
belief that every director should
work out his own method-be-
cause standardized direction
means standardized pictures.
Walsh works without script
because he would never adhere
to one If he had It handy. He
never makes retake, much to
the relief Of the players be-
cause retaKes are the bane of
movie acting. especially in talk
ing pictures. He works straight
through a production without
interrupting and giving the
business" or lines an oppor-
tunity to become stale to the
players. When the picture is
completed he often makes ad-
ditional scenes.
When asked about Victor
McLaglen, Ell Brendel and Fiji
Dorsay, who play the leads in
his latest picture, Hot for
Paris" now on its second week
at the Fox. Walsh said: Nc
Laglen is a capital fellow. We
work together hand in glove
on all productions.
If all the women in Paris
are like Fiji Dorsay," he said,
then that city must be full
Of potential plovie stars. Fiji
is a firebrand if there ever
was one. Directing her is just
like taking a bundle Of i'm
pulses and trying to control
them. She's typical of the
French types we imagine
abound in Paris. We became
great pals when she worked in
my picture.
I want to tell the world
that El Brendel is going to
startle all the wiseacres who
haven't given him his due of
praise. That boy is the fun
niest thing on two legs-which
may explain why l featured
him in the picture. He's SO
sincere in his work, so anxious
to make good after all the hard
knocks he's had in his movie
career, that it's about time he
got the chance he deserves. It's
possible that Brendel may even
