Belasco's s Future

To the question what becomes
of the Belasco Theater under the
Broadway mergers which change
the Washington theatrical map,
the answer is "Who knowS?"
An intrepid young actor, John
D. Stradley by name, has been
making a survey with the evident
intention of utilizing the Lafay.
cite Square playhouse for stock.
It was his original intention to
begin operations when the Ma
tional Players ended their season
in a fortnight. This implies a
faith in the constancy of the
Washington playgoer during July
and August that is commendable.
More probable is the prospect
of a 81 top stock company at the
Belasco in the early fall. Others
have cast an eye over the Shubert
properties with view to a musi-
cal or light opera policy. At any
rate it seems reasonably certain
the BelaSco has seen its last so
called Broadway attraction.

Night
at Roof Show

Tonight is celebrity night at the
Arlington Hotel Roof. This spe-
cial event is in line with the pol
icy of the new management of the
roof in giving its guests the best
entertainment they can get in the
city.
The special entertainment inau
gurates policy for this night
of the week throughout the sum-
mer. 1t is chance for the guests
Of the roof to become better ac
uuainted with those stars of the
stage and theater present at the
dance. 1t will also be an event
for these stars to cement old
friendships. No doubt they will
say few words or do little act.
Besides these stars, there will be
the popular Bert Milan and his
orchestra playing their racy
rhythms and happy harmonies.
All in all it will be a big evening
for everyone present. If the
weather man decides the weather
shouldn't be as good as it might
be the festivities will continue
with undampened ardor in the
ballroom.

Cimarron" Wins

More people will probably re-
member zasu Pitts for westward
Passage" than they will Ann
Harding. The difference between
making bit stand out and well
hammered mediocrity in the main
role. zasu is also runner-up to
Ricardo Cortez in the current
feature, cts My Face Red?" The
answer to the prayer of those who
would like to see Miss Pitts do
more arrives in strangers of the
Evening" which comes to R-K-O-
Keith's Friday. It will be her
third straight week on the R-K-O
screen, but audiences seem to like
the type of comedy aroused by
her wistful stupidity.
Vieing with the actors for at
tention at the National Theater
last night was a platinum blonde
in the front row. There's some
thing about the Jean Harlow
shade of locks that draws lorg-
nettes and between the acts at
tention. Perhaps admiration or
envy are the words.
Also Mrs. Edward B. Mclean
with her children in the stage
box was a center of interest.
Especially as the newsboys were
the headline that
Means Is Convicted" in front
of the theater. There were many
who would probably have liked
to shake her hand for having the
courage to follow through on a
disagreeable task and achieve
victory for justice.
"Cimarron," made by R-K-O
Radio, has received the annual
Photoplay Gold Medal as the
outstanding picture produced in
1881. Are you surprised?

Seaside Park Now
Going Full Blast

With cottagers opening their
CHESAPEAKE Bay homes for the
season and excursionists visiting
the beach in increasing numbers,
Seaside Park IS about to launch
it's full program of summer activi-
ties this weekend.
Starting Saturday all Of the
park amusements will be in opera
ton every day. A competent staff
Of lifeguards and attendants will
look after the needs Of bathers in
the mammoth saltwater pool.
Bernie Jarboe's Nighthawks will
fill the boardwalk ballroom every
evening with their delightful syn
copated dance tunes. In short,
summer is due at Seaside.
Up to now the season at Chesa-
peake Beach as been one Of the
best in the history Of the resort
and general manager of Seaside.
John M. Rector, says that he has
every prospect Of its continuing
so. A half dozen excursion par
ties will visit the park this Satur-
day and scores of other outings
and reunions have been booked
for the next two months.
Augmented train service to the
beach via the Chesapeake Beach
railway begins this weekend.
Many of the visitors, however,
will drive by automobile over the
pleasant 36-mile "honeysuckle"
route through pleasant Maryland
countryside.

Brooke
Is an Actor
This Week
By ANDREW r. KELLEY

When "The Ghost Train" was
originally presented in Boston by
the Henry Jewett Players it ran
for three months to very prosper
Gus business at the Copley
Theater.
When MessrS. Cochran and
Brooke first offered the comedy
melodrama to Washington play
goers it attracted the biggest au-
diences in the National Player
history. Extra matinees had to
be scheduled to accommodate
the overflow.
No better reasons then were
needed for booking repeat per-
formanceS as the ninth play of
the 1882 season. A huge Mon
day night gathering attested to
the wisdom of the choice.
AbOunds in Mystery
To tell the story of THE Ghost
Train" is to rob this puzzling
dramatic gem of its main ele-
ment of Observation-Disclosures.
Suffice to say that in a little
railway station on a branch line
down in Maine strange things
happen. Most of them are star
Ting, many amusing. It is a ju-
dicious blending Of the close to
farcical incident with the weird
and chilling, and the three acts
are tightly packed with excite
ment.
Clifford Brooke dons sock and
buskin this week to portray a
silly awss sort of character who
justifieS his high English comedy
in the closing Stanza. Mrs. Ade-
laide Hibbard consumes a flask
of brandy at one sitting and then
passes out, to rest under blankets
for an act and one-half. But be-
fore she fades Ad0ie provides
plenty of fun.
They're All Busy
There are good performances,
well keyed to the eerie mood by
the personable Donald Woods,
Kathryn Givney, Leona Powers,
Ona Munson, Freddy Sherman,
Forrest Orr, Raymond Bramley,
Bert Clarke, and Karl Nielsen.
In fact "The Ghost Train" uses
the full roster with some extra
assistance from back stage to
man the switches, swing the red
lanterns, toll the locomotive bell
and lock up the passengers so
that the phantom express has
a clear path to the final curtain.
To sum up, "The Ghost Train"
is good mystery fun. 1t keeps
an audience in glee when it's not
guessing and played in spirited
tempo makes for a jolly evening.

in her life, the daughter said
a few words on her own behalf.
Mamma" she asserted,
simply, II don't have much
more fun out of life than you
do. I'm young, and I need a
little pleasure. I love you
more than anything else in
the world and we're going on
just the same as before. But
1 can't see that I've done any
thing wrong.
"I like that Fredericks boy.
He's a gentleman. I'm going
out with him again. Next week,
maybe. And if I'm going to be
punished for doing something
that I know isn't wrong-well,
I'm willing to be punished"
Good for you, girlie...
We skip the next four years
and carry our story to an early
morning a few weeks ago. No
change in the old lady'S condi-
ton, mental or physical. But
a definite change in the daugh-
ter. The girl is deeply and
definitely in love. And that's
enough to change any daugh-
ter.
The girl stood beside her
mother and handed out the
news as gently as possible.
She Gets Married
Mamma" she said, "I don't
want you to carry on because
it's not going to do any good.
Joe Fredericks and I are going
to be married this week. We're
going to Atlantic City for a
short honeymoon, and Mrs.
Josephs will take care of you
while we're away.
when we get back, you're
going to live with Joe and me.
He wants it that way, and SO
do I. Will you give us your
blessing?"
Blessings? No quite. The
mother did everything but
froth at the mouth. She cursed
her daughter, the man in the
case, and herself.
IF you marry that man." she
Shrieked, "I'll not wait to die.
I'll kill myself. I swear I'll kill
myself. I'll do it, I tell you.
Do you hear me? I'll kill my
self"
The girl looked down at her
mother. She shivered. She
started to say something. She
stopped. She walked rapidly
from the room. And an hour
later her mother received a
note.
I'm married, mamma" it
said. "Joe and I are leaving
right away for Atlantic City.
Mrs. Josephs will be over to
take care of you.
Don't be angry. I love you.
And if you love me, please let
me have my little hour of
happiness"
How 1t Turned Out
I don't know exactly how
she accomplished it, but that
paralyzed woman managed to
attempt suicide a few minutes
after she received the note. She
must have tumbled from the
bed and pulled herself along
the floor. She pushed a towel
under the door and turned on
the gas in the tiny kitchen.
They found her there several
hours later. The ambulance
came changing up and the doc
tors went to work on her. If
she recovered it would be some
thing of a miracle. But the
miracle came to pass. A short
time later, in the hospital, they
had her out of danger.
She was released from the
hospital a few days ago. And
how the gods must have
laughed as they saw that re-
lease! For the woman walked
out. She was using her legs for
the first time in II years. The
gas in the suicide attempt, and
the subsequent reaction, had
cured the paralyzed area!

Pick Good Cast
For Mystery
Movies
BY, HARRISON CARROLL
Copyright, 1892. King Features
Syndicate. Incl


HOLLYWOOD, Calf, June ii.
Mystery films will have much
more important casts this year
in Hollywood.
Paramount has just assigned
Richard Arlen to Riddle Me
This" which already boaSted of
two big names in Edmund Lowe
and Victor McLaglen. The ten
dency is otherwise evident in
Harold Lloyd's halfway consent
to star in "Whistling in the
Dark" for United Artists. The
comedian is withholding a final
decision until he sees Ernest
Truax play it on the stage here
at the BelaSco Theater.
One of the reasons for Holly
woods whetted interest in these
thrillerS is that they abound in
action-and action is what every
body agrees the talkies need.
Big names are being put in
the cast, because pictures without
names clunk dismally at the box
office these days.
Maybe this explains the disap-
pearance of that old sweat shirt
Of Jack Oakie'S.
The other day he ran across
Harry Brand, one of our brighter
wits.
'Well, my boy" boasted Jack,
"the big money hasn't changed
me-"
mo-" flipped Harry, "and it
hasn't changed your shirt, either" !"
GOSsips Are whispering
Gloria Swanson, they say,
plans to use her husband,
Michael Farmer, as her leading
man in that British picture.
Handsome, tall and of distin-
guished bearing. Farmer could
easily pass as far as looks go.
He's had no previous acting ex.
perience. Wonder if it's true
that Amelia Earhart Putnam
carries a Mickey Mouse doll as
flying mascot. it's too funny,
that uproar at Warner Brothers
over Ruth Chatterton's oversight.
Ruth is a daffy fan about jig
saw puzzles. She won't allow
anybody else to touch them.
And now she's gone away to
Europe leaving 3,000-piece
puzzle on the table in her studio
bungalow. .Proudest boy in the
graduating class at California
Prep School was Jackie Davis.
Sister Mildred Davis and Harold
Lloyd were in the auditorium to
see him get his diploma. Maria
Alba, who introduced beach pa
jamas to the South Seas, is ne
to do a picture either
at RK-O or Columbia. With
Bing Crosby not due here until
tomorrow, three girls already
have telephoned the Paramount
Studio leaving numbers for him
to call.
The hue and cry over Tom
MiX'S return to the movies wasn't
empty words after all. Toms
first four pictures have stood up
so we'll at the box office that
Universal has just given him a
contract for a series of six more

ton to the two.
