Leading Actor's Rise To Success,

A regular "hé-man" is David Butler, the taxidriving hero of Poor Men's Wives," showing at the Coronet Theatre to-morrow. He scored a touchdown with his first appearance on the stage, in a football scene, and has gone on making figurative tonclicious ever since.

Being the son of Fred Butter, the stage director, may have helpe ed young David to his success, but It didn't help him to hold it, which he has done" on his own."

A career as an actor proving too tame for this young Atlas, he took un his shoulders the little world of the Morosco stock company, in Los Angeles, and as stage director pro- duced for this organization Lom- bardi, Ltd," "Upstairs and Down" and many other famous plays.

Just as Miss LaMarr was leaving making of "Poor Men's Wives?" the postman brought her among other things, a litle packet stamped with a Chinese stainp. Thrusting it in her bag, the actress hurried to her taxi and drove toward the studio On the way, her car was narrowly missed by a big steel track that looked like a mountain.

Arriving on the Gasnier sei, Miss LaMarr opened the packet and found in it the Chinese god: with the explanation that it brought good luck. The actress attosind it duly, then put it away.

But some time later the same day, when the roller coaster car imme- diately following the one in which she had just been working jumped the track, Miss LaMarr hinted around until she found the jade god, and gave it a place of pro
