DAVID BELASCO

Such articles by Mr. Belasco as “The Business of Theatrical Management,” Philadelphia Saturday Evening Post, June 7, 1919, may be found by consulting the Dramatic Index.  They are more or less amplified expressions of opinion which were dwelt upon in his extended Reminiscences, written for Hearst’s Magazine, beginning March, 1914.  Constant references to Mr. Belasco are to be found in Winter’s “Wallet of Time.”  But the monumental “Life of David Belasco,” 2 vols., by Winter, will give all the biographical data necessary for the student to have.  It is issued by Moffat, Yard, New York, 1918.  Consult likewise Montrose J. Moses’ “The American Dramatist.”  Chapter VII.  Boston:  Little, Brown. 1917.  See also Walter P. Eaton’s “Plays and Players.”  Cincinnati:  Stewart & Kidd. 1916.  “Warfield in the Spirit World,” pp. 17-24.  “Belasco and Hypnotism” (Locke’s “The Case of Becky"), pp. 59-65.
