I.eo flrerber'a 1th Av. at iMHh Laurence Rivers has AMUSKIHbVI AMIATI AN The First Myitery Play Hit of the Season Jm IF CLOSELY allied with Joe Cook In the antic activity of "Fine and Dandy" at the Erlanger Theater are four gentlemen, whose own records as comedians are both lengthy and lustrous. First of all, of course, there Is Dave Chasen he of the arm-waving gesture, as expert a buffoon as ever grew up in Hamilton, Ont. Commencing his career as a "stooge" he has developed into a first clans clown in his own right. A "stooge," being, for the benefit of those not versed in theatrical slang, a comedian's helper; individual who assists the head man in getting laughs, but who seldom garners any for himself.

It was about 1920 and in New-Britain, that Mr. Chasen first gave the theater his exclusive and intent attention. His start was made in association with one Fred La Rine in a vaudeville act. Four years later found Chasen and his partner performing aC Loew's Delancey Street Theater, Manhattan, where their antics were one afternoon witnessed by Joe Cook. Mr.

Cook, then playing in one of the early editions of "Vanities," saw the Chasen foolery and was impressed, Earl Carroll, at Cook's solicitation, attended a performance and on the proverbial spot signed the young comedian for his revue. Two years iater Chasen was a featured member of one of the road companies of the Carroll annual. Returning from that expedition he enlisted under the Cook banner for sn extensive vaudeville Junket. That assignment completed, he accompanied his benefactor into 'Rain or Shine," where his hand-before-the-face movement was as some wit has pointed out, a nation-wide and nifty gesture. Pat Walshe and Paul Brack, to handle them collectively, are other valued assistants to the "Fine and Dandy" star.

Both have appeared principally with the tented entertainments, but have on occasion been seen to excellent advantage in vaudeville and the musical shows. Mr. Walshe, who is the chattering marmoset of the steam Basil Rathbone Born in South America ON THE DAY of Basil Rath-bone's arrival in this world the South African natives were in a ferment of revolt. An insurrection was hardly an ideal situation for introducing a baby to the wonders of the universe, and at the earliest possible moment mother and son were hurried back to the comparative security of England. The father, a British engineer, stayed to fight it out.

His side won. Whether or not Mrs. Rathbone knew that she was saving the child to be a matinee idol of several continents matters very little. Certainly she was not aware that he was one day to be co-featured wit'n Edna Best and Earl Larimore in "Melo" at the Majestic Theater in Brooklyn this week. But in all probability she expected the precious infant to develop into a big and important man.

Such is the way of mothers, even in South Africa. Her fondest hopes should by now have been fulfilled. That Rathbone boy has Brown up to live through more varied experiences than any nve men ma.v normruiy expeci in lllelr busy careers. For the purposes drama he has been monarch ana cnauei, lover ana dreamer, poet ana pedant. His one permanent characteristic has been an unruffled suavity, carried triumphantly through every part he has ever played.

As fr the facts of his theatrical career. He entered the theater via Frank Benson's famous London company in Shakespearean repertoire. When the time came for Du Maurier's "Peter Ibbetson" to be produced Rathbone was given the title role, playing opposite Con stance Collier. A succession of London triumphs eventually led across the well-worn oceanic pathway to an invasion of America, where he played in "The Masked Bride" with Mae Murray. Among Mr.

In 1912 he was engaged for Belasco's "The Good Little Devil," In which production he successively portrayed a gnome and a squirrel. The season of 1914 was spent with Frank A. Robbins' circus and then came another animal role when Weber and Fields produced and in "Reunion." With Warflcld in "The Merchant of Venice" and Irene Eordoni and the late Sam Bernard in "As You Were," Walshe continued to mimic monkeys. For several seasons he appeared in "vaudeville and was the custodian of "Baldy," a famous chimpanzee, long featured in the varieties. Among other stunts "Baldy" propelled a two-seated bicycle, with Walshe riding behind, on stages all the way from Maine to Texas.

To this day the actor holds the highest admiration for the manifold talents of the chimpanzee and cites him as the most intelligent of all performers of the animal kingdom. Least in stature but not in importance of the Cook subordinates is Herman Ergotti, the diminutive acrobat and comedian who figures prominently in the proceedings when in the second act Mr. Cook practically converts the Erlanger melee into an athletic meet. Mr. Ergotti, exactly forty-six.
