But this very quality of the well spaced setting, if you please, has made his chance for the world's moving picture anthology. As reproduced by Jesse K. Lasky the Belasco production is the only type of the old-line drama that seems really made to be the basis of a moving picture play. Not always, but as a general rule, Belasco suffers less detriment in the films than other men.
He had not eaten anything all day and felt faint. Instead, however, of seeking one of the more pretentious dining rooms he dropped into a quiet restaurant and ate a simple meal. Then he came out and started to walk leisurely towards the Belasco. He had not proceeded a hundred yards before his plan was very materially changed.
Now, according to certain statements by Mr Belasco and by writers in and to The Referee, the Theatrical Syndicate does, in fact, control to a very great extent the drama in America, and there is no real doubt about the accuracy of the proposition that the drama in the States is in a worse plight than the drama in London.
The censor refused to allow the message to go through. "What's the matter?" Marshall asked indignantly. "We aren't permitted to announce the arrival of Americans in France!" David Belasco was smiling at the extravagant attentions that are lavished by the rich upon pet dogs.
The story of 'Madama Butterfly' is familiar to English hearers, the opera being founded upon the drama by David Belasco, which was played here with great success some years ago.
It's all taken down. Here's where I'm supposed to think, make discoveries, and things. No distractions. One hundred per cent. efficient. My God! I tried it for a while.

On that quiet Sunday afternoon, as the President came through his gates for his afternoon drive, a passageway had to be opened for his motor car through the crowd of four thousand people who were blocking Madison Place in an effort to get inside the Belasco Theatre. Inside the building was packed to the rafters.
Belasco also had a special curtain designed for the play, which co-operated with the exotic music to bring about a feeling of vague remoteness and of brooding mystery.
The half-pound boxes get finished, wax paper on top, covered, stacked, counted, put on the truck. “Lena! Start the girl here in on 'assorteds.” Pert little Lena sidles up alongside and nudges me in the ribs. “Say, got a fella?” I give Lena one look, for which Belasco should pay me a thousand dollars a night. Lena reads it out loud quick as a wink.
Our talk was strictly business. He asked me my Plot, and although I had been warned not to do so, even to David Belasco, I gave it to him fully. And even now, when all is over, I am not sorry. Let him use it if he will. I can think of plenty of Plots. The real tradgedy is that we met father.
