J NEW ACTORS
SIGNED FOR
STOCK

When S. e. Cochran went to see
John Drinkwater's come edy,
Bird in Hand" playing at the
Belasco Theater last week, he was
so impressed with the performance
of two young members of the cast
that he Immediately entered
negotiations for their services. The
result is that Daphne Warren
Wilson, the beautiful young girl
who played the daughter in Bird
in Hand" and Jonn Warburton,
the Juvenile of the company, will
come back to Washington IN the
spring as members of the National
Theater Players
Miss Wilson has been IA months
playing the role of ingenue in the
Bird in Hand" company, both in
New York city and on the road.
Everywhere she has been rated as
one of the real stage beauties.
Her coming to the National Thea
ter Players means that Washing
ton will have two remarkably
beautiful girls in the same cast,
Leneta Lane and Daphne Warren
Wilson.
Is English Girl
Though an English girl, Miss
Wilson has spent the last five
years in America. During that
time she has been constantly en-
gagged in American productions.
First she was a member OF the
"Shannons Of Broadway" COM
pany, then with Mystery Square, |"
after which she played two seasons
in stock circuit radiating around
Bangor, Maine.
She made such an outstanding
success of her part in Bird in
Hand" that she hoped to go
back to England this summer,
but the privilege of playing with
the National Theater Players was
too great a lure, and Miss Wilson
readily signed the offered con-
tract.
Those who were privileged to
see John Drinkwater's play in
the Belascco Theater during the
two engagements-one at Christ
mas time and the other last week
will recall the striking similar
ity that exists between the Prince
of Wales and John Warburton,
who will also join the ranks of
the Players.
Played Shakespeare
Mr.. Warburton, a native of
Liverpool, where he received his
early stage training, came to this
country first for a season of
Shakespeare in Boston with the
Boston Repertory Company. Henry
Jewett's sterling organization that
has won rich fame for itself.
After that, he had a season in
Hollywood. doing pictures. He
then played the role of Raleigh
in the road company of r. E.
Sheriff's celebrated war epic,
Journeys End"
In securing the services of these
two fine performers, Mr.. Cochran
feels that he is giving to Wash
ington two of the finest young
players on the boards. Their as
sociations in American produc-
tions have been of such high
character that they Immediately
come with the stamp of best stage
traditions.

GIANT COBWEB
IS SEEN IN
DRACULA'

The world'ss largest spider web,
a great filmy fabric 13 feet in di.
ameter, is seen in "Dracula," Uni,
versal's strange vampire drama
which is the current picture at
the Rialto Theater.
This gigantic cobweb, entirely
fills the grand stairway in the
ancient stone castle of Count
Dracula-a magnificent pile, hun
dreds of years old, which mas
fallen into ruin and decay And
it is through this great web that
Dracula, vampire. walks at will
without harming it.
The construction Of this artifi-
cial cobweb is most interesting
illustrating as it does the un-
canny artistry of studio technical
departments. After long expert
menting it was found that rubber
cement, if drawn out to tilr1y
fineness, exactly simulated cob
webs, and there remained only
the necessity of finding some
method of reducing the sticky
material to the form of delicate
threads.
Made With a Gun
This finally brought about The
invention of a sort of rotary gun
electrically operated, which eXpel5
the cement in such a filny form
that it is almost invisible as it
comes out. The magazine having
been filled with rubber cement,
then it is only necessary for the
operator to turn on the current,
point the gun at the desired spot
and within a few seconds an ap-
parently genuine co5web begins
to form.
Though this entire set in the
picture is festooned with cob
webs, in only this largest one was
it necessary to construct an arti-
ficial framework on which to
hang the filmy threads.

was directed by Tod Browning.

Living Curtain In
G1uetH's NeU ShOU

Just what constitutes perfect
show will probably never be de-
cided to the satisfaction of every
body, but Let's Go" the current
attraction at the Gayety Theater
has won many votes so far along
the circuit.
It boasts of many well known
names in the roster of it's talent.
and the all-new routine contains
a number of genuine hits. One
of the outstanding features is a
living curtain, which displays to
advantage the many charms of
the popular chorus. Chief among
the entertainers in Lets Go" is
Evelyn Meyers, who is the star.
She is a lively blonde soubrette.

Edward Lilley
Directed Mary

1t takes all kinds of people to
make a musical comedy. You
hear about the chorus, the prin-
cipals, the authors and possibly
the producer, but you seldom
hear about the man who "stages
the book" The book, as you
yell know, is that part of the
performance that concerns the
story. It is quite vital in the
case of Making Mary"
Thus it happens that there is
a new musical comedy called
Making Mary" that is to have
it's pre-Broadway performance in
Washington at the National The.
ater on Sunday, March /, and
implicated in this frolic there Is
a book which just had to be
staged.
Edward Clark Lilley, a neat
little man, is the fellow in mind.
He directed Flying High" and
ever so many of the George
White Scandals" He is consid.
cred among the best of stage
directors for musical show. But
who is he?
Mr.. Lilley is native New
Yorker, we'll under 40. Making
Mary marks his fortieth produc-
ton. And" says he, 1T is the
best of ALL"
At any rate Washington is to
see a brand-new musical comedy
before any of the customary
travel trays it.

'DrdcuLG' Scenes Are

Though Bran Stoker's weird
novel, "Dracula," was written
many years before Bella Lugosi
first went on the stage, the title
role is one which seems to have
been written to order for the
actor.
Lugosi was born in almost the
exact spot in Hungary where the
earlier scenes of the story are
laid, and thus his slight Hun

book is exactly lin character"
