Her First Acquaintance With
Stage Interesting
Frances Starr, whom David Ilelaaco
will present In a new play entitled
"One," by Kdwarjl Knoblock, at the Oar
rlck Monday night, says that when sho
went on the stage for tho first time It
was from childish curiosity and not
really to act. Her homo In Albany, N.
V.. was near a theatre, and going on
errands for her mother she often passed
n stage door.
one day she was looking In nt the
half-darkened stage rather wistfully
when a stage carpenter saw her, "Want
to go on tho stage, little girl?" ho asked.
Ami before she knew it he had lot hor
go In and walk right down on the stage
of tho big theatre. Miss atarr recalls
what a wonderful thrill It wan.
Five year later she mado her debut In
that same theatre with a stock company.
She had a part of ten lines In a play
that never lived past rehearsal, and
It was later, In a play called "Home."
tluat she j;ot her first real part. Site
played the Ingenue- role and received the
munificent salary of $10 n week.
Miss Starr's flrst nppoaranco under
Mr. IJotnseo's management wnu ns lend
ing woman for David Wnrflcltl In "The
Music Master," and she nan remained
with Mr. ltelneco ever since, her latest
role. In "One." being the eighth that she
hns created sltico becoming a star under
l.U direction.

The epoch-making dramatic successes of all history can be readily
called to mind eliminating the classics Guy Bates Post's phenomenal
achievement in "The Masquerader" stands pre-eminent at the apex-r-the
epitome of ancient and modern stage accomplishments. Quoting Mr.
Martin, critic of the Philadelphia North American "Consider a bit. Go
back to the season of 1916. How many of the dramas, farces or musical
comedies that then won popularity arc now being produced? How many
are even remembered vividly? And here is a dramatized version of
Kathcrine Cecil Thurston's novel, swept by the winds of popular favor
into its fifth year." Almost fifteen hundred performances have been given
each as perfect as human skill, dramatic genius, man's ingenuity, and the
personal endurance of trie great American actor Guy Bates Post could
bestow. Never during all this time has Mr. Post disappointed the vast,
anticipating, eager, multitudinous audiences assembled to witness the perfect
performances of this genius. Five complete sets of equipment revolving
stages, electrical appliances, technical mechanism have been worn out
and discarded, to be replaced by new and even better, as man's more
modern achievement made improvement possible. All America can and
does feel justly proud of his great achievement, and amusement managers
point with egotism to the phenomenal success of this representative actor.
All predict a repetition of his Americ-ii and Australian success when Mr.
Post and his company fill their London engagement, to be followed by
the only world's tour ever made by an American star and production
