found recreation in going over the
manuscripts OF plays and in occasional
attendance at boxing bouts and base
ball games. He did not smoke and took
only one drink year-a glass Of
champagne on his bidthday anniversary.
Hearts Of Oak" which he wrote in
1880, was regarded by Mr.. BelaSco as
his favorite among all those which he
had written or staged, but he con-
Sidered "Deburau," 1.-The Merchant of
Venice" with David Warfield as Shy
lock, and Mimi" as his outstanding
contributions to the art OF the theater.
His Studio an Interesting Study.
His studio was an interesting study
of curios and antiques: His great
carved oak table is said to have dated
back to the sixteenth century when it
occupied a place in an Italian palace:
his chair was made from a pew of
Shakespeare's church at Stratford-On-
Avon, while the tiles of the huge fire.
place behind his desk were said to
have been stolen from the Alhambra
at Grenada two centuries ago. There
were large number of mementoes of
Napoleon, including lock of the En-
peror's hair, sealed in a locket and
accompanied by authenticated testi-
mony Of its genuineneSs. Mr.. Belasco's
most complete dramatic library in the
world.
1t was David Belasco who was
credited with having changed the name
of Gladys Smith to Mary Pickford.
She went to the producer with note
from Blanche Bates and after he heard
her recite said he would give her a part.
But Gladys Smith is no name for
an actress" said Mr.. Belasco.
II don't like Gladys, either" she said.
What name do you like best?"
Mary"
IAN right" said Mr.. Belasco. Mary
it is. Now, what are the names OF
some of your relativeS?"
The young actress recalled the names
Of number of relatives and was inter-
rupted as she uttered that Of her uncle,
John Pickford.
That's the name" exclaimed Mr..
Belasco. Mary Pickford!"
And thus Mary Pickford became
of the cast Of The Warrens of
Virginia"
One of the possessions which Mr..
Belasco held sacred and which none but
himself ever saw was his violet book"
containing many of these little flowers
pressed between its leaves. One of the
earliest recollectionS of his mother was
gathering wood violets when he was
child in California. He himself used
to pick them for Cecilia Loverish when
he was courting her. In after years,
whenever things were not going smooth
ly with him, his wife or his mother
would send bunch of the violets to
his New York studio. From each bou-
quet flower was saved and put into
the book. The first flower there came
from his wife's bridal bouquet.
After his wife had followed his mother
In death. Mr.. Belaseo In his lonely
derived much consolation by
peering through the leaves of his book, |
each with its little pressed violet.

SAN FRANCISCO, May IS Dr.
Friends of David BelaSco recalled to-
day events of his childhood in that dis
trlct once known as South of the Slot
on Jane street.
South of the Slot on Jane street
is no longer in existence, nor is the
home at 174 Clara street, where
Belasco. the genius of the stage. was
born almost II years ago. But the old
Lincoln Grammar School and two or
three OF Belasco'S Schcolmates remain
At the old school, where he was
taught by Miss Nellie Holbrook. mother
of the actor. Holbrook Blinn, David
delivered stirring recitations. When
ever visitors came to the school 1t was
David who was brought forward.
But the eldest of IL children had
more to do than go to school The
large"Eyed, poetic-looking lad sold
newspapers on San Francisco streets
after school hours and made the rounds
OF cafes singing and reciting for the
patrons.
Dramatic RecitatiOnS Recalled.
Clay Greene, the playwright, who
wrote for and collaborated with Belasco
in many stage successes. remembers
these days. Greene. as an older boy
at the school, recalls Belasco's intensely
dramatic recitations on Friday after
Moons A. NJ. Robertson, a San Fran
cisco book seller, also remembers David
as clasSmate
His favorite recitations were The
Mailman and The Maniac" Robert
son said. Dave would stamp about,
tear his hair and even froth at the
mouth. We accused him OF putting
soap in his mouth"
Even as schoolboy David wrote
plays He drew his characters and in
spirations from the street. Willing to
do anything that would get him inside
theater, he worked as an usher and
call boy. He carried a spear in Ham
let" at 16 and at 20 he was stage di-
rector Of the Baldwin Theater Stock
Co. here. Richard Mansfield Rose
Coghlsn and other illustrious perform
ers took their directions from him.
When his first play was to BE- pro-
duced in New York Belasco paced be-
fore a street clock suffering torture as
curtain time apprc ached. His suspense
was ended by telegram telling Of the
plays success.
Successful Carpenter"
Dave was what blaywrights call a
successful carpenter" Greene said. He
could take worthless play. tinker with
1t and turn it out a brilliant success.
He halted stranger of Paris in its
final rehearsal to revamp the speech
OF a man on a raft. He didn't like the
speech and asked six Of us to each
write substitute. We did; Dave said
they were all rotten. and took a little
from each and put them together and
made what we call knockout
