fALESKA SURATT has had another
V row and quit the stage agai
w Which is a habit of Valeska's. But
the row and quitting assume larger
proportions to us this year for the rea
son that they started in our midst and
have seethed and cooked and simmered
beautifully ever since her vaudeville
engagement of several weeks ago.
T'other day in San Francisco it reached
boiling point and now the violently
voluptuous Valeska Is on ber way to
New Tork by way of a. stop over of
day or so in Los Angeles, and the Or
Doeum circuit ii minus one "Black
Crepe and Diamond" act.
To quote hearsay, it seems that
George Baldwin. Valeska's dancin
partner of several seasons in vaudeville
and musical comedy has been at outs
with Miss Suratt for some time. There
Is a little love scene in their act in
which the two clasp each other in their
arms and are supposed to whisper
sweet nothings.
Saturday the two had a violent quar
rel. Saturday . night, when the time
came in their act to say nice things
to eaoh other, Valeska took occasion
to vent her anger upon her partner.
According to Baldwin, she called him
various uncomplimentary names. When
the audience thought she was telling
Baldwin how much she loved him. it
appears, as Baldwin tells the tale, that
she was upbraiding him in a way that
(Was shocking.
The result was that Baldwin quit the
act In Oakland last Monday. Valeska
followed suit. John Higgins, the tango
expert accompanying them, announced
that he had sprained his ankle, and
the management took the number off
Its bill.
Dances may cone and dances may go
but names for them go on forever. Tht
newest is the Crane skip. Mr. and Mrs
Douglass Crane originated it and in New
Tork it has Just been put on at the
Jardln de Dance at the New Tork The
ater. Mrs. Crane is assisted by her hue
band who makes more money thusly
than he does at his regular job of
-painting pictures not houees. The
Cranes have been dancing In San Fran
Cisco for .more than a year and the
dances they have introduced in New
Tork have the flavor of old Californlan
and Spanish steps. One of them Is
called "Muchachitos" a one-step set to
Chinese music, and another called
"Danza" calls for only six feet square
of floor space. Mrs. Crane starred for
one week In Louis Closser Hales' play
"Her Soul and Her Body" which Fred
Belasco put on in San Francisco. Then
it went on the road and didn't make
enough money to Keep ner soui ana
her body together.

About six years ago a play was sub
mitted to Mr. Hodge by Miss Jean Web-
.ster, entitled "Daddy Long-Legs." Miss
Webster had written the play with Mr.
Hodge in mind for -the chief charac
ter. Hodge read the manuscript and
returned it to Miss Webster with a
note telling her that, although he con
sidered the play contained the ele
ments of a great success, he did not
think the character exactly suited to
him. Miss Webster then made a nov
elization of her play. The novel was
read by Henry Miller, who saw In the
character of the girl, which. In her
novellzatlon, Miss Webster had made

Miller immediately entered into nego
tiations with Miss Webster, through
the publishers of the book, for a dra
matization to be made of the novel.
Miss Webster made an entirely new
play a direct dramatization of the
book, and Mr. Miller produced it. with
Miss Chatterton in the leading role, in
Powers' Theater, Chicago, four months
ago. Three weeks ago the play passed
the century mark, and, in so doing, es
tablished a new record for long runs
in the famous Chicago theater, exceed
ing by several performances the record

David Warfield figures in the second

was seized with a desire to break away
from the Teutonic and Hebrew roles
he was playing, and he thought the
best way to do so would be to play a
Hoosier. He suggested to Booth Tark-
lngton that he write a play making tnis
type of American the chief character.
Tarkington and Henry Leon Wilson
went into retirement and emerged with

that Warfield- had chosen "A Grand
Army Man" as the vehicle for his de
parture from Teutonic and Hebrew
characters.

Tyler for reading, and that manager,
