In one case only has that effort been crowded into thirteen years. That is the career of Marco, revue producer. The time really was le.-s than thirteen years, for during the war he laid aside his ■work to serve Uncle Sam in the Navy. While he and his talented sister. Fanchon, rose to the rank of principals and producers in “Let’s Go,” a revue of last season, their real vehicle of stardom Is the “super-revue” they have created for the 1920 21 season. This is “The Satires of 1920,” which will be the attraction at te English opera house, three days, commencing Monday. Marco and his sister are California products, being Los Angelenns by birth, San Franciscans by adoption, and in keeping with their loyalty to the State their productions are strictly California Institutions. After Marco closed the “newsie” chapfcr of his boyhod, he sought an ednhtion. Then with his sister, who had teen graduated from a dramatic school rid was teaching dancing he went east, traved the theatrical managers, and in . few months the two came west on the Irpbenm circuit. Since then they have limbed fast. ITHEL BARRYMORE'S VISIT •OSTPOXED AT ENGLISH. No announcement in the course of the heatrical season is more disappointing the cancellation of Ethel Barrymore. player holds quite the same firm in the esteem of the discriminating patron of the theater. From early October of 1919 to June of the following year New York theatergoers crowded the Empire theater to witness Miss Barrymore's mazniflrent performance in Miss Akins’ play and each presentation during those hundreds of nights was the occasion for a series of ovations unique in the hisfory of th American theater. Scenes following the memorable first performance, when conservative New York playgoers remained In the theater to cheer the actress and only left the theater when the lights had been dimmed, became nightly occurrences. Jn “Deelassee” Miss Alclns has fitted Miss Barrymore with one of the most splendid r les of her career and one of j the kind In which her loyal following j loves best to sp her. She is Lady Helen j Had*’- n young Englishwoman of aristocratic birth and environment to whom, through no fault of her own save an amusing recklessness, unhappy circumstances bring matrimonial disaster. Adrift from her accustomed surroundings Lady Helen is seen next In New York, embarked upon a social career at mce precarious and amusing. The center if a gay group of unusual, lnconseqtienial worldlings, and with happiness .eemingly almost within her grasp, her .dventures come to a close In a final tote of gripping, pathetic tragedy. Sa he Charles Frohman Company has Miss Barrymore with a most distinguished and capable company, headed by Claude King, who, it will be recalled, met with a personal success during the long New York run of “Deelassee” second only to that of Miss Barrymore. Other important roles are interpreted by Lenore Chippendale, Ethel Kemy, Evelyn Walsh Hall, Lily Kerr, Mary De Wolf, Henry Daniell, Charles Francis, Harry Piimmer, George Fitzgerald, Hubbard Kirkpatrick, Alfred Hesse and numerous others. -I- -|- -|- *DOC” BAKER AND COMPANY HTADS KEITH’S NEXT WEEK’S BILL. “Doe” Baker, quick change artist, and a company of musical comedy players, including a chorus, will appear in “Flashes,” a fun revue, as the headline offering at B.

In The Land of Make Believe By WALTER D. HICKMAN

Before me is an announcement of Mile. Theo Ilewea, who will appear at English's on Sunday night, Feb. C. with her ballet of a hundred members and a philharmonic orchestra of twenty-five pieces, Kaymon S. Droxler, conducting. The program will consist of fourteen ballets and divertlsements. The announcement. states that one of the features will be fourteen tiny tots who will dance in ballet dresses. These small ballet costumes are carried in a small sized hat box. M.le. Theo Hewes has done a great deal in advancing the reputation of Indianapolis as an art center and her announced engagement In the city for which she has struggled to develop appreciation for the beauty in the dance and the ballet, should meet with the whole-hearted support of the citizens of Indianapolis. A city must support its own attempts at the beautiful on the stage if other cities are expected to support the same attempt to present beautiful stage pictures. -!- -I- -IHave just received a list of the January releases of the Famous Players-Lasky Corporation and It is as follows: A Maurice Tourneur production. “The Bait,” w*ith Hope Hampton, an adaptation of Sidney Toler's stage play, “The Tiger Lady.” Opie Read's famous story of the Carolina mountains, “The Jucklins.” produced by George Melford and featuring Monte Blue.
