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

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.

vances a tale that has been in the mak
ing In Portland for 19 of the 22 years
these two have been together.
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

"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 isn't often enough to be trouble

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.
