Brown and Beset, whoever they may be. and their ambitions read well, and are plausible, like most theatrical ambitions. They announce that their intention is to wean Harlem from the thraldom of the movies, and if they can do it. I shall admire them considerably. However. I ha'e me doot. on that subject. Their first play was the rather threadbare thing called Mlle-of which I told you when It was produced some months ago at thp Lyceum Theatre.

They belong to the film; they ar happy there; they might never succeed In the theatre But Sessut Hayakawa has all the elements of a great actor, as I understand that term, and I am Jealous for the theatre.
