Who's Who OnBroadway-And Off 4T ARRY" KEATING, veteran showman, makes one simple I word hold the whole secret of 22 years of partnership that has not known a serious argument Has turned the light into many stars. ' t - I tmmmmmtmmtm ( - -w- I By E. C. B. When the. rules of, the ahow business are compiled for the edification of fu ture theatrical generations, Lawrence C Keating will contribute only one word to summarize : the secret of nearly a quarter century of success." That word will be "harmony." Keating and Daniel Flood, his partner through 22 years, have been o entirely harmonious that the cannot be divorced other in telling the history of the one from that of the tale of their ad- Faversham Promises : Interest in Tagore's ; East Indian Verses I New York, Nor. 20. Through the In 'fluence and artistic interest of William 'Favershamr New York city will soon see the production of a number of East Indian Jilay from the pen of the cele brated Indian poet. Sir Rabtndranath ' Tagore, who is again in this country after -an - absence of four years, and whose poems of mysticism have become standard throughout the world. - Tagore, who ha been knighted by the British government, and who is the winner of the Nobel prise for literature, went to the Booth theatre to see Favers ham in "The Prince and the Pauper." The poet was deeply interested in what he called the spiritual Inner significance of Mark Twain' classic, and traced spiritual likenesses to some native plays of India, His Interest in the subject led him to seek Faversham in his dress ing room after the performance. There it developed In conversation Chat Favers ham. who 'spent a considerable part of his boyhood In India, where several of his brother were British army officers, was thoroughly versed in the lore and philosophy of India. Edeson Establishes Self at . Hollywood Robert Edeson has taken up his per manent headquarters .at .

Keating and ' Flood, plural personali ties, sre the "manager," to revert for the sake of truth to the singular, of the Lyric theatre and they are the chief owner, still, perforcej in the singular, of the Baker Stock company. It wa at Helena, Mont., 22 year agO that two young bloods got their heads and purses together land launched their first theatrical enterprise, upon the suc cess of which they jOde into Portland 19 year ago. They Jiave been a har monious element in I stage affairs here ever since. ... In 1903 thene two Opened the old Lyric theatre at Seventh ; and Alder streets. Jointly managing its affairs they have weathered every storm of competition storms in which the! competitor did not survive in a. single lease and have ar rived at the end of 1920 with a boast that -in all their partnership they! have bad not so much as a serious argument. The person who can tell Larry Keat ing anything about producing or man aging musical travesty entertainment has not appeared on the scene and! there are those to declare that "therei ain't no ech; an'mile." Along the wayside, though, i are the wrecks of numerous ventures similar to the Lyric started by those who thought they could j show Keating and Flood something about the show business. During his 19 years In Portland with Flood, Keating - has been continuously Joint manager of the Lyric. In; their early days., too, they acquired the old Baker in Third street The Lyric they moved-back and forth several times be tween Seventh and Alder streets and Fourth and Stark streets until this fall, when they put the Lyric into the! house made famous as the Marquam Grand and transferred their Baker Stock com pany to, the Eleventh street playhouse. Keating has an eye for talent that has made him, and Flood as well, nationally known. ! It was this pair that picked Marjorie Itambeau as a winner and her name has been in Broadway's electric more than once. They started; Leon Errol on the road to success and he Is known as one of America's best knowi producers. " Warta Howard and Charles Ayres, noted stock leads, got their start We fought for liberty in Cuba in 1898," Eugene O'Brien rise to remark, "and now wa have to go there to enjoy if ' "Acting os the stage ia a bore com pared to acting before the camera." This is the surprising statement made by Myrtle S ted man, who has had 'long training in both branches of her pro fession. "To be an actress and not just a type Is my ambition says Mabel Julienne Scott, who portrays the role of Delphlne in "The Concert." ' "Clever photoplays with clever sub titles will take like wildfire, and those with subtitles in them wilt be astonish ingly appreciated in most cases, The greatest mistake a director can make is to underestimate the intelligence of his audiences. It will put A stop to bis own progress and kill his enthusi asm."" So says Lloyd Ingraham, popular director. "It is one of the ineradicable fallacies In men's minds," remarked May Allifon. "that all women, though they may be different in appearance and perhaps .in temperament, are alike, in what pleases and displeases them. Men will not, de spite suffrage and other evidences today that women are capable of thinking, believe that we are individuals. They evade arguing with us, on the score of 'Oh, well, that's a woman for you." "The ideal man is as hard to describe as he is to find," Elaine Hammerstein says. "It is a wise girl who can keep from Idealizing Just- ordinary, average, nice men ; and then feeling disappointed when they don't fit into the ideal role." "I'll make a confession I was a fctage child." Zina Keefe- explains. "At the age of 3 I was on the stage im personating a kewpie or Something of that nature, and I've been on the stage from that time to this almost' ... ) "The only ghost I am interested in is the one that walks on Saturdays, and that isn't often enough to be trouble some. Buster Keaton, new film come' dian, arises to remark. f Niblo Hired by Ince Thomas H. Ince haa hired Fred Niblo away from Douglas Fairbanks, and Niblo will make a series of special pro ductions under the arrangement Niblo is the husband of Enid Bennett the star. under this pair of Portlander. Innum erable vaudeville headliners and enter tainers received their first pay check as artists from Keating and Flood. Keating and Flood at one time owned not only the Portland show houses, but had theatres at Seattle &od at Oakland, CaL And it ha never mattered, throughout the years, who counted the cash in the evening the count was al ways correct Through it all Keating has had.no rules for congeniality nor for the ad vance on the fortifications of success. After he had thought about the ques tion of a successful 22-year partnership he said: "I guess the secret of our affairs is harmony. Strike Settlement Restores Music as Movie Background The six-day week conceded union musi cian and operators at the final strike settlement . between organised labor and Jensen & Von Herberg 1 going to give Portlander opportunity to chooee the type of musical background preferred for motion picture. On Monday at the Columbia theatre the entire musical accompaniment will be furnished on the new $20,000 organ, the orchestra members having that as their day of rest and making no ap pearance. Wednesday will be "orches traless" day at the Peoples theatre. The Peoples organ has been reconstructed and will be featured this one day out of seven, giving the orchestra opportunity for 24 hours off duty.
