Scouting
Round in
Burlesque
Moll
Williams on the
IC
Trail of Recruits All
Summer
By ROBERT W. MAXWELL
A row of swinging, stepping, singing and
perspiring chorus girls swayed back nnd
forth on the stage of the Gayety Theatre
one night this week, shouting out the words
of tha most recent song, while a sweltering
audience clapped Its moist hands In nppre-
( elation of their strenuous efforts. They
meaning the chorus girls were hard at
, work as wo stepped In to "take a look at
tho house." Wo didn't know what thoy were
Blnglng nnd didn't care. A'l we noticed
was that tho dancing damsels were clad In
hot-weather attire, nnd, even at that, they
Ecemcd to bo suffering from tho heat
But the audience didn't care. Every
man nnd woman In the place was enjoying
tho burlesque they call It "burlcsk" thero
-and after the number was finished a roar
of npplauso called the singer and- support
ing company back again. They went
through tho same motions, porsplred just as
freely, nnd the damp, soggy applauso onco
moro was their reward. Then tho leader
of tho orchestra started his hirelings on a
new tune, and another Btunt was about to
bo presented.
We looked around at this Juncture and
noted that at the end of ono of the back
aisles was a fashionably clad girl, seated
all nlono, with her chin rostlng on her hand.
Blio was taking In. the show, seemed to see
everything that was going on, but did not
join In tho applause. She did not chango
her position when tho next number was
, put on, nor did sho smile at any of tho
"funny stuff" pulled by tho comedians. Sho
Just sat and absorbed everything llko a
high-brow attending tho opera.
"You have a pretty good audience to
night," wo remarked to Manager Howard,
"but did you notice the girl on that aisle?
Bho seemed to be enjoying herself, but Isn't
getting excited about It. What's tho an
swer. Do you know her?"
"Why, Bure I know her," replied How
ard. "You will, too, when I tell you her
r.amc. That rs Molllo Williams, the Queen
-f Burlesque. Sho pays us a visit onco a
your during her vacation nnd sho usually
nt ay a a couple of days. She takes In all
of tho summer shows, cabarets and every
thing else that has singing nnd music. It's
tho way she spend her vacation. Did you
vcr meet her? Como over and I'll Intro
duce you."
Then I met Mollle Williams. Miss Wil
liams seemed to be anything but the
''queen" I expected to see. Sho was a
small, dainty girl, had a pleasing person
ality which probably accounts for her
success on tho stage and seemed to be
qulto serious. Sho wan "working," she said,
and would keep on tho Job until August 7,
when her nw,show starts rehearsing for
tho coming season.
"It seems strange that you are spending
your vacation In such a manner," I ven
tured. "I thought theatrical folks rushed
to the mountains, tho seashoro and the
country during tho summer months to rest
up for tho long 40 weeks' grind during tho
fall, winter nnd spring. Is this a usual
thing, or nro you Just trying It out this
Bummer?"
"I do this every summer," replied Miss
Williams. "You see, I virtually manage
my own show and It Is up to me to get new
talent. You can't expect the rea actors
and actresses to come to you, so I just go
to them. If I see a performer In one of the
summer shows that strikes my fancy. I
try to sign him or her up for my show. In
that way I have found many good people.
"You are a baseball writer," she contin
ued, "and probably know the Bystem. What
do they do In the big leagues when they
need a new player? Do they put an 'ad'
In the paper and then watt for replies?
They do not. They send some one out to
take a look at ball players playing all over
the country and as soon as a promising
youngster Is seen he Is signed up and sent
to the big team for a try-out Those people
are called baseball scouts. I, too, am a
scout a scout for burlesque.
"It seemes funny, but I got the Idea of
electing my own talent for the stage
right here In Philadelphia. About four
years ago, during a world's series. I was
presented to Captain Harry Davis, of the
Athletics. I only saw him for a short time,
and the chances are that he forgot me five
minutes aiier ne mei me. uut l nad a
short talk with him and he gave me the
Idea of 'scouting for myself.
"'How does It happen,' I asked, that
your team plays Just as good every day'ln
the year and year after year? Don't the
players get hurt, or play poorly, or some
thing? How do you replaoe your stars?
What kind of understudies have you got,
and how do you get .them? You must have
some system.' .
"Then he told me how scouts travel all
over tho country looking for new talent, and
I decided to try It myself.
"The very next year, I decided to put on
a dramatlo aketah and was In need of a
straight heavy' man to play It with me. I
looked over all of the 'legits' In New York,
but they were a very sad bunch and I passed
them up. It was getting close to the opening
of the season, and I was almost frantic
tou Know, mere are rew legits' that Is,
those Shakespearean actors In burlesque
and I was about to visit Brady or Frohman
to get one of thejr regular actors for the
part when I saw an advertisement In the
paper that a Western melodrama, called
Wyoming. or soma such name, was playing
In a theatre In Brooklyn.
"That nTght I attended tho show, for I
thought that there -would be at least one
Western character who could Oil the bill.
To my surprise, there were six of them, all
dressed up In cowboy attire. I did not
think much of the leading man, but there
was one in the cast who struck my fancy.
He did not say a word during the show, but

Discussed Questions
Answered
In the hurry and press of the Scenario
Contest a good many letters on other photo
play and dramatlo matters have been re
ceived, but have not been printed or an
swer owing to lack of space.
To the Photoplay Editor:
Further comment on tho article by Bain
bridge Colby In a recent Issue of the
Eve.vino Lr.Dacn will show that tho fllm
manufacturers are doing more than com
plying with the rules of tho Board of Cen
sors, Incidentally striving to please with
wholesome. Interesting "stuff," as might be
gathered from some of the subjects barred
by the scenario editors, to wit:
WHAT IS NOT WANTED Trnglo and
depressing stories nnd those with unpleas
ant endings: stories of vice, crime, drugs
or of brutality; questions of sex, divorce,
religion, liquor, labor or politics; military
or historical drnmas; comedies that ridicule
society or labor, business or college life ; dual
roles; costume or period plays; or plays of
foreign locale; copyrighted stories, boiks,
poems or plays; plots taken from copy
righted text; for counterfeits are usually
recognized and returned, 'Otherwise trouble
will result for producer and author.
WHAT IS WANTED Novel plots, ori
ginal Ideas and epitomes, peculiarly synop
ses without "action"; strong American
stories plays for Ingenue and male stars;
comedy and modern dramas: society dramas
and melodramas; wen-known books and
plays In publlo domain. There seems to be
a general trend toward "widespread popu
larity and universal appeal."

Te ti Dramatto Editor:
Sir You published In a recent Amuse
ment Section of your paper a scathing
criticisms of tho play "Sazus MaTazus,"
written by Laurence Eyre and given Its
premiers In Atlantic City on June 26.
I am forced to take Issue with your At
lantlo City correspondent In his opinion
of the play, as I happened to be present at
the opening performance; and, although I
bold no brief for the author. It was the
consensus of opinion of those with whom I
talked that he had not only attempted
something most unusual, but had succeeded
in "putting It aoroea."
In these days or cut-and-drled so-called
comedy It la a real treat to see a play
which attempts something new, and al
though, as Is so Invariably the case, this
particular offering needed some revision, It
certainly, to my mind, had possibilities and
hardly merited the severe condemnation by
Mr, Watt who evidently has failed com
pletely to understand the delicious negro
philosophy with which the play abounds.

Sir Will you kindly answer through your

motion-picture companies may' be obtained?

of the Photoplay Magaslne.
Charlie Chaplin works for the Mutual,
through tho Lone Bfar Company, ' The
scenarios for his pictures are largely his
own work, with possibly some assistance
from a -staff writer. lie might, however,
buy some very original idea for a comedy.
To the Photoplay Editor:
Sir Censorship Is not needed In these
days of high-class motion pictures, and It
pay men who do not know as much about
censoring a picture as a little child of 3
or i years old doe. Who has to stand
the cost? The publlo and the.exhlbltor are
both out of pocket The publlo because It
sees some of the best scenes cut out just
to please the puritan censors, and the exhi
bitors who have to stand the added ex.
pens, of shelling out mora money for th.
State coffers. It might have been all right
in the day of the blood and thunder pic
tures, when companies sprang up fa the
fly-by-nlght plan. Their pictures were not
fit to be iwen by children, and were respon-

"Victor Herbert Is really responsible for

"I have been deeply Interested In amateur

for some time. I am a member of the
Philadelphia Operatic Society, and when we
put on 'The Serenade,' Mr. Herbert came
over from Now York to direct tho re

to give me a part I eang for Mr. Herbert

OF THE MOVIES
"CHAMPAGNE JAG'
FOR EVERY ONE
WHO LOOKS
Photographlo effects are being given
more nnd mora attention by the producers
of motion pictures, and trick photography
Is. being resorted to to convey Ideas to
audiences, which otherwise might not be
clear.
In tho filming of a photoplay In which
Miss Juno Caprice, tho new William Fox
star. Is soon to appear, Director John Q.
AdolM has originated a new one. Miss
Caprice, In tho character assigned her.
drinks champagne for the first time In her
young life. As a result, her head "goes
round" and she not only sees double, but
triple.
Tho audience will see Miss Caprice drink
tho champagne In reality, harmless white
grape Juice and then It Is going to see
exactly what she sees triple. The furni
ture and persons in the room are photo
graphed thrice and the fllm patched to
gether so that on viewing the ploture
everybody Is going to "see things" with
Mss Caprice.
In another scene an old woman, a char
acter part In the film story, comes to the
doorway to meet the hero, Harry Hllllard.
Tho woman Is wearing old-fashioned "epeo
tacles," which are pushed up on her fore
head. She looks closely at Hllllard and
the movie audience will see him Just as she
does the blurs of poor eyesight This Is
dona by photographing with tha camera
out ot focus. When tha old woman pulls
her "specs" down, the camera Is focused
properly and Mr. Hllllard appears In all his
manliness.
Another new feature In motion pictures
la a scene In which Miss Caprice Is gat
ing out of a window on a moonlight night
The audience looks with her, and the moon
and star: and tree-tops In silhouette are
seen In reality. This scene was actually
taken at night and Is one of the few mov
ing pictures of starlight In most films the
sun Is used to represent the moon by al
lowing It to "sun-strike" the film and thus
make objects look black as at night

Tes, I like Don Quixote all right. la
fact, I lovo him. But don't you ever fancy
he had an easy time tilting windmills. X
tilted a windmill today. It was' a very
obstinate windmill, tenacious of Its right.
Did you ever havo a windmill In good, health
fly up and hit yoif? Tho reason people,
laugh at Don Quixote Is because they never
tried to stop a windmill when It was on Its
way. "Every windmill In the world can go
on press-agentlng the weather after this for
all of me. Take my advice. Don't yoa
ever hit a windmill first. If you ever set
peeved at a windmill, try kindness an
diplomacy or slow po)son because a wind
mill In full .blast has more advantages la
Its favor than Jack Johnson spanking a
pickaninny.

can't go up and hit a man I've just beea
