REVIVE MEMORY OF
BRICKLAYING DA YS
Uncanny Foresight May Be Charged. With Some of the Suc
cess of Play Producer Whose "Lightdin' " Shattered
Long Run Record Impresario Was "Fired" at
One Time When He Carried a Spear.
John Golden, who has come to
his- present position In the front
rank of America drama producers,
han an uncanny Instinct or a positive
genius for picking -winners, we are
bound to believe after contemplating
the success of his many undertakings.
Not the least of these IS "Three Wise
Fools," . which thoroughly entertained
Heilig theatre audiences again last
week, when Tom "Wise was presented
it the featured role. Nearly two
years ago Portland was introduced to
"Three Wise Fools, by Austin Strong,
when Claude Glllingwater, now mak
ing his mark in the movies, was its
central figure. t
It is to. Golden that the theatre owes
tribute for "Lightnin'," with Portland s
favored Frank Bacon as Lightnin' Bill
Jones. But, though "Lightnin' "" to
showing the signs of a ripe old age,
there is no Indication that it will be
seen in Portland this season and only
a possibility that it will come next
year.
This uncanny impresario, too, merits
credit for his introduction of "The
First Year," which is traveling close
upon the heels of "the long-lived
"Lightnin' " in setttng long distance
records, and for "Dear Me," "Turn to
the Right" and "Thank You," every
one of which was a: capital success
when contemplated from the box-office
viewpoint.
Frank Craven, the author of "The
First Year," has, conjured up two more
of his brain children for the new
season in New York. They are "Spite
.Corner" and "Early to Bed." Mean
while. Austin Strong, whose fame hinges
op "Three j Wise Fools," has offered
for production, "Seventh Heaven," but
none of these. In the usual course of
events, will come this way for many
moons, it seems assured.
John Golden started his career with
,the desire to become an architect. . One
of his first tasks was laying brick for
Harrigan's( theatre 4n New York, later
called the Garrlck. Meeting the fa
mous Edward Harrigan made Golden
ambitious to leave brick-laying for the
gayer life of the Thespian. i
Nimo s Gardens was the historic spot
of the; youth's first appearance on the
stage.? He carried a spear and would
have received 25 cent a performance
had he not been fired the first night
for watching the snow from the wins.
Later, he tried to manage a company
In "Caste." and play the role of an old
man of 70. The -company went broke
and young Golden "had a" long walk
from Schenectady to Troy. . ,:
, The- boy was determined to succeed.

important role was tat Augustus Thom
as' play "A Night- "Frolic." All this
time the youth was writing verses for
Truth, Like, Puck and Judge, receiving
13 to Jfe for them. Then be was told
that songs paid as high as $10 so he
shifted to song writing.
About this time , Golden's good busi
ness sense came to' the' fore1 and he de
cided that, whereas song writing was
a fine side line, a man "really needed
something solid besides. So he went to
night school and studied chemistry.
Chemical industries then being still in
their infancy In j this, "country Golden
was soon enabled; to catch up with men
who had been ip the business for years.
He climbed toj be, vice president and
general manager of the Oakes Manu
facturing corajany and after it years
he retired at t4ie age of 35 with for
tune. All this time Golden hsfl .been writ
ing music and songs and musical
comedies for "amusement. i His first
show was written for Marie Dressier,
"Miss Print." followed by "The Hoy
den for Elsie Janis, "The Candy Shop"
for Rock and Fulton, and "Over the
River" for Eddie Foy. Then Golden
began a friendship with Winchell
Smith, and, together they brought out
"Turn to the Right followed by
"liigf .tnin' " and other remarkable suc
cesses. Since Smith's retirement from
the firm. Golden has continued on his
triumphal march alone.
Society Buds

'Never Again'
rpHERE ' are some society people in
JL San Francisco, who know just
what It is like to be a motion picture
"extra." Gone are their cherished illu
sions of the ease and abundantf leisure
supposed to be enjoyed by the 'players.
Hearing that Director Sam Wood
was about to film scenes in the Gloria
Swanson picture. "The Impossible Mrs.
Bellew." at a fashionable San Fran
cisco country club, SO of the members
'It will be hard work 1 have sev
eral big scenes,", warned . Director
"Wood.- " t
Tluits all right with us," was the
airy answer of the group; vtstoning
hot more than 4a minutes or an un
usual experience.
The next morning fog came in and
itwas nearly noon before Mr. Wood
had finished his sea scenes, and found
it possible to use the society players.
From then until 5 oclock the society
30 moved hither and thither at" the di
rector's commands. They waited while
lights were beings fixed, they got up
and sat down, they danced, they
strolled on the- porch, they did1, all the
other things he asked them to flo.
The 45 minutes they had anticipated
developed into five hours. : "
"Never again !" was the chorus of
some of them.
Split in Lasky s
Organization Is
Believed in Sight
The -return of Jesse Lasky to Cew
York may possibly bring to a head the
long-rumored possibility of a split in
the Famous.. Player-Lasky organization
with Lasky and Zukor going their sep
arate ways.
Since April there have been constant
stories that all was not well between
the' two hlRgest factors in the organi
zation. The break, it is understood,
came after the Lasky lot in Hollywood
wis the center of a couple of scandals
which broke all publicity records, the
Arbuckle affair and the Taylor murder
mystery.
At present it seems almost certain
that should Laeky break with Zukor
and the Famous Players- organization
the two DeMUles (Cecil and William
B.) will trail with Lasky as they have
been with him from the beginning of
his picture ventures. - '

to the world that she has all; the physical earmarks of a young thing of 19, thanks to the wonders worked by plastic
surgery. The former wife of the late De Wolfe Hopper has had ironed out the wrinkles and crows feet that told the tale
of years in her face, and by methods of her own she has thwarted Father Time in putting the burden of age upon her mind

it aside- from the somewhat question
