by Introducing “It's a Wise Child,” one of the outstanding comedy successes of what other producers found to be a very lean year. Today he plays a return birthday engagement by bringing his newest production, "Dancing Partner,” a comedy by Engel and Grunwald and adapted by the Hattons, to amusement lovers here. In addition to announcing four other plays for Immediate production, Belasco declared that he had at least a score of dramas under consideration. "Dancing Partner” is scheduled for New York presentation Aug. 5, and after it is launched Belasco will turn his energy to a comedy by the Baroness Lili Hatvany entitled “Tonight or Never.” This production will answer Broadway’s oft-repeated question: “What has become of Helen Gahagan,” for she has been prevailed upon to abandon temporarily a contemplated operatic career to return to the dramatic stage under the banner of Belasco. Miss Gahagan soon will return from Italy, where she is studying

opera. She then will resume her studies as soon as the play ends its run in New York and on the road. In her support will be found Ferdinand Gottschalk, Marlon Abbott;, Melvyn Douglas, Warburton Gamble and Katherine Stewart. Anew play for Beth Merrill will be Belasco's third production, a yet untitled piece by Patrick Kearney, his first original play since “A Man’s Man” was produced four seasons ago. Miss Merrill appeared for Belasco in “Ladies of the Evening,” Lily Sue” and “Hidden.” Kearney’s most recent work was an adaptation of Theodore Dreiser’s “An American Tragedy” and in his new dramatic comedy Belasco believes he has found the vehicle w.th which to elevate Miss Merrill to the heights of stardom. The fourth Belasco production will be “The Berg,” the work of the distinguished English journalist, Ernest Raymond. The play was quite successful abroad and Belasco has obtained for this play the services of C. Aubrey Smith, who

appeared for him in “The Bachelor Father.” Dramatic rights to "Laughing Boy,” Oliver La Farge’s Pulitzer prize novel, also have been obtained by Belasco, he announced today. Otis Chatfleld Taylor has handled the dramatic version. This will be a production of Belasco’s early in the new year, it was announced. Gene Fowler’s “Trumpet in The Dust,” which was contemplated for early production has been set off another season by Belasco, because Fowler is in California for motion picture work.
