Several months later, Rogers
came to the National Theater as the
star of Ziegfeld's Midnight Frohc.
During that week, President Harding
was holding congressional recep-
ton at the White House. Rogers
wanted to go because it was an ex-
cellent source of material for his
daily newspaper column. He made
the usual approach for an invita-
ton and was politely informed none
was available. At the Saturday
night performance of Midnight
Frolic,'' Rogers stepped out of char
acter long enough to say: All my
life I have been making humorous
observations and comment about the
great and the near-great. Invariably
they have accepted it in a spirit of
fun and with an appreciation that
no malice was intended. I regret
that have offended the President,
but I can also say that he is the first
prominent American to publicly OBJ
ject to my stage liberties. I am
sorry he can't take a joke
"On the opening night of Al Jol-
son in 'Wunder Bar at the Belasco,
during the prohibition era, those in
the front rows-and especially the
critics-were handed drinks from
the bar on the stage. Jolson per-
sonally distributed the liquids, and
much to the surprise of those ia
,vored, the cocktails and highballs
were found to have high potency.
1t was one-day sensation and the
Internal Revenue Bureau got busy
the next day. The investigation re-

for prosecution discovered. All the
evidence, If any, was consumed And
so that was that"
Wilson's Last Visit.
President Wilson's last visit to
the Belasco was to see Percy
Mackaye's new play, George Wash
ington," with Walter Hampden as
the immortal patriot. Mr.. Wilson
thought it a good play. and SO gen.
erously reported for publication, but
in this case the New York public
took the opinion of Alan Dale, who
damned the play with no praise, as
did his fellow critics. George
Washington" perished after three
weeks.
AS the old ghost recalled, President
Coolidge was a loyal supporter OF
plays or musicals in which his
friends appeared. He went to the
Belasco one night to witness a per-
formance of John Drinkwater
Robert E. Lee" with Berton
Churchill playing the immortal hero
of the South. Mr.. Coolidge's visit
was tribute to his old friend Burr
Mcintosh. But when the lights came
up in the darkened theater, after
the close of the second act, a ro-
mantle scene in the moonlight on
the lawn of the Lee mansion, many
ewes in the audience turned to the
White House box. President Coo
lidge had his chin resting on his
breast; he was sound asleep. The
Presidents impromptu nap received
more publicity than did the play,
Robert E Lee" which survived only
a week of New York performances.
One New York critic said the fact
that a play had put a President
to sleep offered form of criticism
better than any which could be
written.
And so the ghost went on:
when the late Nora Bayes played
the Belasco-in the vaudeville days
of the '20s-she received $500 a

F1orenz Ziegfeld signed'Will Rogers

F1orenz Ziegfeld signed'Will Rogers
for the 'Follies.' He didn't ac-
tually sign him, for the cowboy
comedian didn't believe In contracts.
He just gave his word and took the
other fellows.
"Ziegfeld found Rogers playing
two-a-day vaudeville for the Messrs.
Shubert. He went back to his
Lafayette Square dressing room,
much to the CONSERVATION of Ira
La Motto, the Shubert manager. Mr.
La Motto hastily long-distanced'
a phone call to the New York Office
of the Shuberts, and was told to
throw Ziegfeld out But before the
telephone conversation ended, Zieg-
field had received Rogers promise to
appear in his Midnight Frolic' on
the New Amsterdam roof.
White House Objection.
"Will Rogers that week encoun-
tered the first and only objection
to his humor, which was registered
from the White House. Among his
drolleries was this: The American
public will never get much accom-
plished until they get a President
who gets seasick and who can't play
golf Obviously, that was a quip
on President Harding, who was ad-
dicted to the links and who took
occasional trips on the White House
yacht.
"A Secret Service man called at
the Belasco and conveyed word that
the White House would appreciate
it if Mr.. Rogers would eliminate the
joke. As it was an important part
of his routine and got appreciative

Frances Starr, then under the di-
rection of David Belasco. Previously
she had starred under Belasco in
1.-The Rose of the Rancho" and had
as her leading man the famous
matinee idol, Charles Richmond.
Eventually she married the late R.
Golden Donaldson. She is still a
Washington resident.
Now I remember a show called

performance was Raymond Hitch

in musical comedy. I saw them

that a thrill!

of the opening of Victor Herbert's

with him in a play-and that was
her start toward stardom. I tell
you, boy, I've seen 'em all. I've
seen Wilton Lackaye, who came out
of the old Carroll Hall Players, and
Al Jolson, who lived down in South
west Washington. I've seen 'em
start and I've seen 'em finish. And
they all looked good to me.
There was, in those days, diff
ferent theater treatment from what
you have today. Take Frank
Daniels, for instance. He was a
comedian of the first water. And
he could set an audience crazy
merely by the lifting of an eyebrow.
That was the Frank Daniels tech
nique. Well, sir, it was a classic.
Memory Test.
The other day I was talking to
Sergt. Joe Harrington, now attached
to the traffic division of the Metro
politan Police Department. In the
old days he was a program boy at
the Lafayette Theater. Said Joe:
Mister, when you talk about the
old Belasco Theater you're giving me
q memory test.
"T remember back to the days
when Ira La Motto, of blessed men,
ory, was manager of the Belasco
That was before Duke" Fosse took
over the role, or even L. Stoddard
Taylor, both great managers. -.
"'What I was getting around to
Of course, was the entertainment
that went on the boards of the
Belasco. One of the first plays that
made an impression with me was
Marie ODile," which featured

the Beasco called

Evening star., 1940-09-01

In those days it was the swankiest
place in all Washington. AS an
opera house it entertained the great
and the near-great of the American
theater-people like Jenny Lind,
Nine. -Heink and others
of that caiber.
Then the house turned into a
strictly American theater - with
minstrel shows rampant. 1t had
Neil OBrien and Primrose and West
dancing on the stage.
"Will I ever forget, those dayS?"
the old actor asked as they moved
the seats out of the Belasco.
"I saw Lew Dockstader and Neil
OBrien at their best-and there
were never two greater blackface
comedians. They knew their stuff.
They could make you laugh over
the simplest joke. That's what the
old minstrel men did, in the old
days, and there was never a dirty
line in their text. They got ap-
plause because they deserved it."
On the trail of those old-timers
came such stars as Helen Hayes.
"And remember the day Helen
got her start in the theater," said
the time actor. Lew Fields had
come to town in comedy called
About Town which contained a
travesty on The Music Master He
saw Helen Hayes and liked her.
Then signed her, as young girl, to
a contract. Next year she appeared
