New York, Ifarch t.—Arthur Hop¬ kins’ Initlnl effort na producer of tra«- edy and John Barnrmore’e splendid portrayal in the name part of ’’Wchard in.’* which was also bis first sffort In a Shakespearean role, made the pre¬ sentation of this classic at the Plynwath Theater Saturday nUtht a memorable event to theatergoera Mr. Barrymore’s originality and hla convincing Inter¬ pretation of the cunning, misshapen king was an achievement that riveted the audience in its seats and evoked a storm of applanss at the end. which was not until nearly one o’clock In the morning.

The Clinging, snarling Richard m was wonderful^ visualised by young Barrymore. His excellent delivery and very evident genius helped make the performance almost nnparaHeled and stirred the audience to a high pitch of admiration and enthusiasm. - In the version of the tragedy selected for Mr. Barrymore, live instead of the usual one or two Scenes from the preening play of **Klng Henry VT" have been added as a sort of sketchy prolog to clarify the sttuatlon as It stood at the time of Richard’s decision to- olsave his way to tha throne.

The work of R B. Joneo who do- slgned tha beautiful backgrounds for the variovs eptoodes, la an achieve¬ ment of artlstlo ability that aids ma¬ terially In the masterly production. The supporting company Is not very impressive. At the end of the second aeC Saturday night Ekhel and Lionel Banymore entered a balcony box, and the audience Included them In its en¬ thusiastic reception of the evening’s play.

New York, March 8.—Helen KMer, who proved to be a great success In vaudeville when she played the New York Palace the week of February 28 and was held over the following week, will contlnue^on the Big Time, it was learned by The Billboard today. There was some 'dispute over the salary question, Harry Weber, who Is Miss Keller’s agent, asking $2,500, and the managers, after several conferenoee, announcing that the best they could do was $1,750.

George Alfred Lewis, Miss Keller’s manager, told The Billboard today that

the matter had been satisfactorily ar¬

ranged, and it is probable that a com¬ promise was effected that would place her salary at about $2,000, as Lewis said Saturday that they were only $250 apart.

Miss Keller will probably play around the big Ekudem Tima, until summer, when she will rest preliminary to a run on the Orpheum Circuit in the fall. Miss Keller opened at the Palace after pre¬ liminary tryouts in out-of-town houses, and from the first she gave every in¬ dication of being a wonderful attrac¬ tion. The act was a good drawing cai^ at the Palace and attracted a lot of new business.

NEW BINGHAMTON THEATER IS MAGNIFICENT HOUSE

The Strand, Just Opened, Cost Half Million Dollars and Is Equipped With Every Modem

Convenience—Lighting System of Espedal Interest

Binghamton. N. Y., March 8.—The new Strand *rheater. one of the most

beautiful in the Eastern States, was

opened to the public tonight with six

high-class vaudeville acts as the at¬ traction. The new playhouse, seating

1,600, was crowded to capacity.

The color scheme in the auditorium

is in delicate tones of blues, ivories and gold, the walks and boxes being eicqulsltely ornamented. The drap¬ eries are of delicate blues, silver trimmed. As one enters the auditori¬ um from the lobby a balustrade of marble surmounted by a brass railing and sheets of French plate glass Is en¬ countered. This, besides being orna¬ mental, will serve to protect patrons from chance drafts while it will atoo enable persons to stand In the rear and see perfectly without Interfering with people In the last row.

Marble staircases lead to the mesn- nlne In the rear of the large balcony where there la a marble well looking down on the main foyer, and a prom¬ enade with retiring rooms both for men and women. The balcony is com¬ modious, and every seat is arranged to give a perfect view of the stage. There is no gallery.

Of especial Interest is the lighting 8>’stem, the first of its kind ever In¬ stalled In a theater East of Chicago, the Strand being the second house in the United States to adopt it. It is known as the X-ray system and It makes the entire theater as light as day. ’There is an excellent mural painting over the stage, extending

the entire width of the auditorium, and this Is lighted by a batter>' of these X-ray lights In front of the bal¬ cony railing. In front of the balcony

GREAT INDIGNATION FELT AGAINST THE IMPORTATION OF GERMAN ACTS

Variety Artistes* Federation Calls Special Meeting for March 21 To Consider Wasrs and Means To Prevent Invasion ol

British Vaudeville by Late Enemy Aliens

German vandeartiats are attempting an Invaalon of British vaudeville. Greet Indtgnatloa le felt here against those managers and agents deeiring the Importation W>f German acrobatic and like acte, while ecoree of similar* British acts of equal, if not better, caUber remain unemployed. Tbe managers are nuttlDg out feelerq at to Variety Artistes* Federatlon’a attitude and what action. If any, the Federation will take if German acta are Imported. The Variety Artistes’ Federation he calling a special general meeting In London March 21 to consider vmye and means to prevent the euggested attempt of bringing late enemy aliens into tbe Brltttib enter¬ tainment industry. In 1918 tbe Variety Artistes’ Federation resolved to oppose tbe Iseonnce ot all theater and vaudeville liceneee to these acts within two years after declaration of peace In 1910. The English vandeartinta, actors, musiciaDS, stage crewe and front bouse staff conjointly agT'^ to strike If enemy aliens were employed anywhere *ln the bnildlag. It is stated Mr, Konoram, president of the International Artistes* Lodge, favors the policy of reciprocity by al¬ lowing the plaring of seven Britldi acta la Germany for each German net in England, but at tbs present exchanga rate Germans could work here prodtably at prewar salaries, but German managera could not poaaihly pay British acts even prewar salariM at the current esdtange. As an example, ten pounds English Is equivalent to 172 pounds in German marka, therefore Mr. Konoram's suggestion is valnelcM. *00 investigation it ia fAund that the Variety Artistes’ Federation is nncomprowilatngly against the possibility and Is ondertsking a press campaign against renegade managers who prefer pence and pocket at the expense of Nationals.

"TEA FOR THREE" ROASTED BY ARCHER William Archer writes thus of "Tea for Three,” which waa prodoced at the Haynurket:

"Tbe atory la founded on the assnmptloB of rank idiocy on tbe part of tho husband and preter¬ natural cleverness on tbe psrt of the friend. But even this assumption loaves it utte^ ln-> credible. It ta only because an outrageous series of chances play into tho friend’s handa that tho plot la carried out at all. The whole fabric of the comedy crumbles to pieces the moment common sense Is applied to any point in it. Only by resolute mske-believe esn we give tbe thing even momentary credence, and the mere dialog Is not so delightful as to dispose ns to put an enormous strain on our powers of make-believe.*'

Another writer ealla It "an anti-domestic trifle—an nnfatthful parody of real life—deaUng with tho vulgar adventures of a bachelor bounder, a deceitful wife and a persecuted and mueb-to-be-pltled hnsNind. Tho character of the wife Is a shoddy rsg of fresklsh frailty. In America the friend, not the husband, got tho *langho.* Here tbe friend la an intolerable bounder. There will be a slump In matrUnony If any more plays like Tea tor Throe* are imported from the States." _

“That Isn’t the way to develop the Ameri¬ can drama, U Itl” questioned tlie new presi¬

“The ©bjecta of the society are the pursuit

and promotion of the best type of American

drama, a closer relation between dramatists and

theate.g >era, and the ventiiatiou of free opin¬

ions on all things concerning the theater at the

society’s fortnightly dinners.

“It is alm<sit Impossible to wish to serioosly

aid our American drama without producing plays, and with the new club the production end will be frankly and purely experimental

for the time being.

“The monthly dlnneh will result in a closer contact between dramatists and actors, concur¬

rent with this, the social meetings at the Hotel

Astor will Interest the intelligent Uieater goer

and being held in the eveu.ug, members may

conveniently be accompanied by their hnsbands.

Accordingly the business and professional men

will be indirectly Introduced to our patriotic

project—the promotion of American plays.

“Even devoid of scenery the play mnst stand

on Its own merit. If it is stiong and dramatic

or clever and satirical the opportunity will be open to the members to produce the play and

share the result of Its'auccess on the commun¬

ity plan.

“If we actually produce a play by an unknown

amthor, we will have already attained the first

object of onr formation—the puranlt and pro¬

motion of the American drama. “We are not highbrow, we are rather lovers

Of the elmple and natural. We do not propose

sweeping changes. We do not assume the

garb of reformers In any sense of the term.

We are merely a set of thinking people who

Tells of Method of Study for Roles

Spcaklns of the dlffereat motbod* of atady

for comedy character rolea, Min Ida Mailt aald:

“I always lay aside my own perooaallty as I would my coat or bat and set under the skin

of the character. 1 lire in the part for the

time helDf. In preparation of the role I get

the antbor's Idea and then search for a llrlng

counterpart and between the two make my own creation.

“Once 1 played a parrot in Henry W. Sar-

age’s ‘Woodland.’ It was a comedy rule and

I haunted the bird stores until I found a inn'

genial parrot. After Tlsltlng the store scTera'.

consecatire days, the storekeeper looked at m<'

snspIcloDsIy and wanted to know my ‘Inten

tions.* Haring shopped abroad I knew I wai

scheduled to buy a bird as fancy In price as he was in feather.

“I was distressed, for I did want to take

one more lesson at the cage. That night, bow-

erer, I felt greatly rellered, for, after rehears¬

ing the parrot role In my room, the hotel man¬

ager sent a bellboy with a note adrislng me

that animal pets were not allowed and that the

parrot must be kept quiet at night or left In

charge of the porter.”

Miss MuIIe created ’’Yarn Yum” with Mans¬

field as "Koko" and played all the principal

roles in Gilbert and Sulllyan’s operas—also in

Hendernon’s extrarngansas, “ftl'-.b^d” ••Cinder¬

enjoyed most my comedy character n>|es for the

opportunities they afforded to portray the ludl-

cTous in human nature. I hope some day bt

play a character role that wrlll run the gamut

from low broad comedy to high comedy,”

appealed to me because it was so satirical, and

too, because of the tinge of tragedy In the sit. nation of an overiKJwerlng love.

’•Barrie saya in 'Margaret Ogllvy’ “Tlie fierce

Joy of loving too much Is a terrible thing.” In

'Mamma's Affair’ the mother is absorbed in her

daughter and In turn absorbs her daughter.

Of course Miss Bntlcr has treated It all from the humorous point of view,

“I tbidk the success of the play Is Its nnl*

TCTsal appeal; most people have two of the

characters In their Lome. I know many moth¬

ers Just like the mother of the son. People like to see types on the stage which they recognlie,

and if some of the audience have a counterpart

of the stage type in the family they can laugh

at them in the theater where they can't at

home.

“Duilng the first set the andicnce doesn’t realize that the mother 1 play is a hyitoehondrlac.

When It dawns upon them later that she Is

Just such s fraud the laugh goes all thru the

house. There Is nothing so exhilarating as to

hear an andience langh and have a good time.

“It la an old saying that a woman hasn't any

sense of humor, but anyone attending the mat¬

inees would appreciate the fact that there Is

nothing lacking In the woman's sense of humor

even when the Juke Is on her sex. This is al¬

ways true with a comedy.

“In a serious play like ’Under Orders’ we

missed the applause at matinees which we got

at night because the w-omen wept. la a fs,m-

edy, it's glorious to play to an audience entirely Ilf women. After a performance of ‘Mamma’s

Affair’ 1 feel fresh and could play it all over

again. My performance in ’Under Orders’ on

the contrary was very fatiguing, it took so

lauLh tut of mo. la 'Ye-.rs of D'li retl'in.’

despite the cine obaiiges of gowns with their accessories, it was stimuiating to listen to the

laughter of the auJlen. e; it kept me up: I

recall once at u holiil.-.y perl d playing this role

four times in foity-elght hours.

“It never surprises me when I hear stories

of temiiera mental on'.hursts from actors play¬

ing heavy parts; they are n<it normal during

such iierformances and cannot shuffle down I;n-

medlately; they arC different from other people; they can't help it. The seven harmonious mem-

bers of our company, fortunately, are all chect-

fnl, normal and sane.

“Subconsciously my part Is always ■with me

even away from ti.e theater. 1 am ever watch¬

ing to see or hear something that will improve

or change it. These conditions naturally affect

the stage artist and should the role happen to

be tragic it finally gets on one’s nerves, and

makes deligbtfni therefore the change to a sea-

^ son of comedy in which to relax and be happy.

■ “ ‘Mama's Affair’ was an instantaneons sne-

c cess; it caught on at once In Providence and

Washington and conld have gone ont on the road without a New York verdict. Sometimes

the playgoer doesn’t want to be a ‘dog’ and

he’ll wait until a play Is tried ont In New York, but ‘Mamma’s Affair’ was an exception.”

“Ditrlclistein’s ’Are Ton a Mason’ was from

EQUITY LETTER (March 3. 1920)

Every member of the A. TL A. will learn, with enthusiasm, that Frank Bacon has been elected to the Council. No one emerged from

the strike period with grreater honor than he. How he was welcomed- at our meetings! His quaint but Intensely human speeches always brought

laughter and tears. As everyone knows, Frank Is both author and star, and was reaping a rich harvest, which he had sown and cultivated thru

long years of splendid, but scarcely recognized, service. Patience and perseverance, combined with a great native talent, were at last rr-

warded. It was at^hls momenta that the clouds lowered and the storm burst. It was up to him to declare himself, and without hesitation ho

Joined the strikers. What mattered financial and other sacrifices when great principles were at stake! The thought of self may have entered

his mind, but never weighed. His people needed him and that wae enough, which reminds us of L/illlan Russell, who, when asked w'hy she

was leaving home In the middle of August “to Join the striking actors who were In the wrong,” replied: "If they are, the grreater reason for my

Joining them.” Incidentally It was Frank Bacon who made the remark that as far as he could see the “Fldos” were about as useful as a glass

eye at a keyhole!

In spite of Collector Edwards’ ruling on deductions from the actor's Income It Is said that the tax officials are not allowing IL De Witt C.

Jenningrs, being In Washlngrton, was appointed our representative and called atfthe office of the Commissioner to explain our grlevahces and to

ask relief. The Interview was most satisfactory, and an official ruling from the highest authority may be expected in a few days.

'The question whether “The

Whirlwind”w.,orAPPLICATION FOR MEMBERSHIP I tlinitv tit aav that nn mnttof

Whirlwind” was or was not a “spec¬

tacular” production, whether the

management was or was not en¬

titled to five weeks of free rehears-

ala created a deadlock In the arbi¬

tration committee, and so Augustus

Thomas was asked and kindly con¬

sented to hear the case and to

make a decision. Our contention

was that the word “spectacular,”

as used In the contract, meant a

production of such proportions

that It necessitated more time for

preparation than was allowed or¬

dinarily, and that a stage coach, a

few horses, a group of dancers and

an ensemble of 45 did not neces¬

sarily place a piece In that cate¬

gory, but Mr. Thomas ruled against

us. We wish we could gilve his

argfument verbatim, for it was most

Interesting. In brief, he said that

the intent of the author was evi¬

dently not to depend solely on the

plot, characterization and lan¬

guage, but on an embellishment or

appeal to the eye; In fine, on some¬

thing physical, and that whether

he had succeeded or not should

not count so much as the “IntenL”

“The Meeting Place” Is to be

revived again. It was only tem¬

porarily abandoned during Mr.

G'.llmore’s absence. Managers in

one's way, but to save as well ? Thru

you are disengaged can be made

“I should like to call to your attention a few pertinent facts.

“The American Hospital has been built at a cost of over one- fourth of a million dollars. By the¬ atrical ppople? Oh, no! They have not, as a body or individually, given It the support that it should have received. The doors of the hos¬ pital have always been open to them, and members of your pro¬ fession who were stricken with Illness have never been turned aw’ay for want of money.

“OUR HOSPITAL. IS NOT ENDOWED. It is my associates and I who carry the burdens. It has no deficit funiL There is no source of revenue other than that received from pay patients. -Now the question arises: What has the Anrierlcan Hospital done for the¬ atrical people? A committee ap¬ pointed to go over our ledger has found that In the last few years far above one hundred thousand dol¬ lars has be%n distributed in char¬ ity work to members of your pro¬ fession. We have an actual loss In every twelve months anywhere between twelve and eighteen thou¬ sand dollars. This does not in¬ clude physicians’ fees. Oh. no! These are actual running expenses for theatrical patients.

“This is a state of affairs that at the present time exists, and un¬ less someone or some set of peo¬ ple In the theatrical profession who are Interested in their own welfare, and who are truly Inter¬ ested in their fellowmen, takes hold, Ood only knows where con¬ ditions will lead to.

"I do not care to continue and discuss the present situation, but I want to say In conclusion that all a human being can do is to have an Ideal and work for it. which I am doing and will continue to do until the Grim Reaper calls a halt to my activities. “(Signed) MAX THOREK. M D..

MUKETHEHTS (Reviewed Mtmday Matinee, 31arGli 8)

New York, March 8.—The show at the Palace this week Is a erilendid ex¬ ample of the way not to make up a vaudeville bill. If the term vaudeville meane anythiny it means variety. Of a program of eight acta seven sang and danced. There waa no sketch or novelty and the bill resembled a singing bee much more than it did a vaudeville show.

Johmoa. Baker and Johaaon opened. They Juggle olntw and throw hau a la Moran and Wiser, Indeed very much Moran and Wiser. In fact, every¬ thing Moran and Wiser do these gentlemen do. It is a very good Moran and Wiser act. Bight mlnutea

liUba Meroff was second. Miss Meroft is assisted hy Sonia and Ben Myroft They sing and dance, and got along only fairly until Ben Meroff did an excellent Russian dance. This was the hit of the act and put it over for a good finish. Fourteen minutes

Florne Millershlp and Alfred Oerrard followed. -They recited their past performances in vaudeville and musical comedy at length, and then sang and danced. Miss Millershlp does both well and Oerrard sang a song with a pun¬ ning lyric like a Thomas Hood poem excellently. They carry a set of drapes for their act and a piano player. Nineteen minutes.

Trixie Friganza waa next in “The Surprise Party.** She told a lot of stories that were really funny, and sang and danced in addition. Miss Friganza is a splendid entertainer and scored a large sized hit, both as an act and phyiica3ly. She is a real vaudeville attraction. Twenty-four minutea

Blossom Seeley appeared n^xt She is assisted as before by Bennie Fields and Grossman, Cass and Lopez. Her act in the same as when presented last at the Palace, except that she has changed a couple of numbers. Same gowns, same dances, same style of material. The hit of the turn was Bennie Fields, who p»it over a coon song to splendid results. Thirty-four minutes.

Topics of the Day occupied its usual spot on the bill and got a few laugha Either the quality of this film has fallen off or the audience ia getting tired of it, for it doesn’t entertain as it used to.

Irving and Jack Kaufmann and Arthur Fields opened after intermission. These are the boys who have made such a reputation as phonograph singers. They sang a lot of songs and put all of them over. Every word they sing can be readily understood, and they have grood voicea. Jack Kaufmann d^ a little comedy very well, and the turn went over for a lilg hit. Sixteen mlnutea.

Rae Samuels followed. This lady does nothing but sing. She had a lot of competition in that line today, but when she started one was apt to forget the others. Rae Samuels has had a long experience in the singing of comedy and character songs, and there are few who are her equal at that game. She displays splendid showmanship in her act, and left after doing fourteen min¬ utes, with the audience clamoring for more. So far Miss Samuels hasn’t bought a set of drapes or a velvet drop with her initials on it. We hope she never does. Anybody who can hop out in one and sing songs like she can can well afford to leave the drapes and drops to those who need the doubtful assistance of this form of vaudeville clap trap.

Loretta McDermott and Eddie Cox, with a jazz band, closed the show. Miss McDermott w’as formerly with Frisco as a dancing partner. Now she has her own special set and Jazz band and everything. She ha.s also found a way to beat the high cost of stockings, for In her first costumes She doesn’t wear any. She and Mr. Cox also sing, but this Isn’t as succeesful as leaving the stockings off. Then the Jazz band plays and they succeed very well. One has to listen very carefully to distinguish the melody in their playing, and aa this seems to be what all Jazz aggregations strive for it is easy to see Just how successful they are. For a finish the principals dance and the Jazz band brays and squawks. ‘That finished the act and show. If this be vaudeville, make the most of it. fieventeen minutes.

Olenn and Jenkins were billed to appear on the program, but did not. It te too bad they didn't, for an act of their type waa sadly needed to bolster up this bill. Comedy and novelty are the backbone of vaudeville, and there waa far too little of it thla afternoon.—GORDON WHYTE.

LIP SERVICE AND SELF SERVICE

It Is Btrsnce bow tbe man la front la tbe •odleacs wbo is asooclated wltb <b« profession caa aes tblnpa which apparentir neltber auna- fer nor actor sees. I am led to this remark by what I saw in one of tbe bip Orjfbtmt theatres. One of tbe artists there in tbe Orpbemn (are an imitation of Eddie Foy, wbo is an act on tbe Paataces Tonr.

During my somewhat extended trip through three-quarters of the States of the Union I have met many actors.

Many have requested an introduction to me, and all have expressed their appreciation of my small efforts and humble work in their behalf.

All have wished 'me God speed—all have said **We need a man like you to fight for us, to direct us, to lead us.**

All have cheered me on—all have applauded what they are pleased to call my stubborn, persistent and constant fight.

This is all very well in its way, and undonbte<fly at the time these things were said to me the actor was sincere.

But cheers, applause and handshaking, however cordial, however well meant, cannot win any battle.

Can yon imagine what the result of the '\Vc«'ld War would have been if the jieople of America had contented themselve*s with cheering and applauding Gen¬ eral Pershing, Generals Parker, Liggett, etc.?

If they had all stayed at home and said: “God bless you, Pershing, you are putting up a wonderful fight. You are the kind of a man we need.” You know, as well as I do, how far Pershing would have gotten.

If, when the call for the various Liberty Loans had gone out, the people of the United States had paid no attention to them, but had just gone about their business and contented themselves with cheering and shouting and shaking the hand of Pershing, you know, as well as I, that no American Army would have crossed the seas, no Victory would have been won, BECAUSE THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN NO AMMUNITION, NO GUNS, NO SHIPS, NO PLANES, NO ARMY, NO ANYTHING.

It is the same way and the same thing with many'actors. They are will¬ ing to cheer, they are willing to applaud, they are willing to pat me on the back, but when it comes to doing their own share they are conspicuous by their ab¬

sence. ,

They avoid THEXB Liberty Loan. They keep away from THEIR taxation.

And it is not much we avsk. If the' actor and actress in Vaudeville and Bur¬ lesque really believe what they have told me during the past eight weeks it is not much to ask them to become a member of this Organization and to pay

their dues.

Here is the test—send $6.00 in as your initiation fee and dues titl AptU 1st, i920, and then afterwards keep your dues paid up.

Help to support the army and the men that are fighting for you.

DON’T BE SATISFIED WITH PRAISE.

Words are chc^, BUT WORDS Wn.L NOT PAY STENOGRAPHERS, OmCE RENT, ORG.VNIZATION EXPENSES .VND THE S^VLARIES OP

THE STAFI".

If you mean what you say, if you believe what you have told me, then trans¬ late your words into actions, your thoughts into deeds and become a member

of these organizations.

GIVE UP LIP SERVICE AND INSTEAD GIVE JJS SELF SERVICE.

TV> say tbe least, it Is ba4 sb-iirmaiialilp for • snrtMsedty llrst-<las*9 circa! t to be content witb imitations of an actor wbo U on a snp- poaedly second-class circuit, but peiksps this is bat a t!|n> vf tbe times when tte irst dball be last and tbe lost aball be flrst.

Lst ns tske a little example—one of Freud's contentloiis is that if yon can get a man or a amman to talk or write consecnUrcIy on a sub¬ ject under discuaslon be or she will uncon¬ sciously confess what la really troubling them. In other words, they will, without knowing It. dimlce their sin or weakness.

And. if a Urlng proof of this is wasted, la it not supplied hy the weekly ooUectlw of works of tbe imagination known as the Green Sheet) In eTety report of ktessrs. GlQinore and my meetings on this tour the word "Judas'* has appeared. It seems impossible tn tha editor of that paper to keep "Judas" out df Uk articles about our Orgsnlation and me.

In noM of our meetings was this word tiaed, hut tn each of the reports It appean. and, actlag on the TYeudlan theory of unodnaciooa confeeeloa. does this not indicate ^t the thought represented by "Judas'* la at the back of the editor of that paper's mind) la It that be cannot forget that it wa^ he who handed "bla paper orer from tbe first page to the last to the managers" In spite Of the fact that be bad a contract with the then Actara* Or- ganlsationt ,

Cot to those wbo still read it and beliere it let me give this word of adrice—that if they will study a little psychology they will find that the Green Sheet convicts itself in every issne.

And in this connection do not forget that General Fiaano swore that when he was an agent in Chicago he was told to try to force actors to advertise in Veracity (?) because tbe said Veracity had done more than anything else to defeat the actors.

And when you are doing 4 shows a day, and when yon are doing 6 shows a day, and when you are playing tbree towns in a week, and when you are being Jumped all over the face of tbe United States, and when yon don't get yonr contracts back, remember that it is because of the actors' defeat that yon are doing this, and that the chief cause of that dofeat. at least accordins to the managers, was Veracity (?).

In "Look Who’s Here” the "bedtocra” fares has reached the stage with musical accompani¬ ment. It la about on the same level as the rest of tbe speclea that have been seen hercabonts for the laat few seasons. Tbe story deals with marital spats, wrong occupants of twin beda, lingerie display and happy endiag.

The credit for pntting tbe show over belongs .to Cecil Lean and Cleo Mayfield, who work lndnitrloui.ly at *Jielr tasks and get lots of langhs and applause.

Tbe piece is mounted welL the managemeot having provided excellent aeta und costumes. Tbe director gave tbe ebarus little to do save walk on and off with a few motions of the bands and feet. One wishes that he had toned down the voices of tbe prlnclpala. too. for they shout their lines all thru tbe piece, tbe male members of the company being tbe principal offenders. George R. Lynch as James Ssnndert, made a good appearance and played the part splendidly. Madge Rush, an M.'.y, did a toe dance In the second act that was one of the hits of the iterformaDce. Louise Kelley, as Caroline Holmes, was good to look at. but appeared to be very self-conscloua Dave Qolxano, as Carloa Del Monte, played a dialect part effectively. Georgle Mack, as Horace Bream, was tbe dim¬ inutive husband of one of the twin bed occu¬ pants, and extracted a lot of comedy out of bla part, effectively and legitimately. Sylvia De Frankie played tbe minor role of Dorothy Chase well. The McCarthy Sistera were a gen¬ uine hit with their tinging. "The Bell Hop Bines’’ got them a big round of applause, and they sang an encore to resulta juat as good.

Silvio Hein has written a pleasant score to "Ixiok Who’s Here." It Is aot very distinctive mnslc, bnt it Is melodiona. "Bubbles’* will probably <>e the hit song.

Frank Mandel has provided a book which la some scenes Is perHously near the limit that one can go with language on tbe stage. Tbese lines get langhs all right, but if the limit is not reached soon with this mort of thing there Is opt to be a flarebaek which will be remem¬ bered when the laughs obtained are forgotten.—

To (list take up music at the age of fourteen end have a musical comedy prodneed on Broad¬ way at twenty is unusual even In ffUs age of eiiplaucs and projected trips to Mars in a rock¬ et. Still it has been done, and George Gersta- twin is the man (he ia now twenty-one) who did it.

A little preliminary talk abont music in gen¬ eral was necessary to get George Gershwin to talk about himself. Tbe symphony, the tone poem and grand opera were “fanned" over be¬ fore the talk got to musical comedy level and Berv''fi to show that the interests of the yonng composer lies not only In the theatrical field bnt in tbe realm of formal music as v^U.

“There isn’t anybody in my family,’’ said Mr. Gershwin, “wbo is mnsical. And there never has been anybody as tar as we can de¬ termine. When 1 was fourteen, tbe family in¬ vested in a piano. My brother was picked out to be taught tbe instrument bnt I showed more aptitude for it and clamored to be taught instead of him. Finally, I was elected and learned the rodlmenta of the Instrument from a yonng lady teacher. I learned quickly enough and at seventeen was pianist in tbe professional department of Jerome H. Bemick & Co. I left there after a couple of years and got a Job as rehearsal pianist with ‘Miss 1917,’ ttie Centnry Theater show that Ned Wayburn ^as producing at that time.

“After 1 got to know the music of the show, I started to put little frills and fnrbelowB into it. This made a hit with tbe chorus girls and Ned Wayburn found they worked better when I played for them. Jerome Kern bad written tbe music for the show and both he and Harry Asklns, the manager, took an interest in me. I bad written a song called ‘The Making of a Girl,’ which was in ‘The Passing Show of 1917’ and made quite a hit. On the strength of this Mr. Askins offered to introdnee me to Max Dreyfusx. the head of T. B. Harms and Francis, Day A Hunter, tbe pnblishers.

“1 accepted gladly and the following day we went to see Mr. Droyfuss. He asked me to play for him and I played four of my songs. When I finished, be said, 'Ctome and see me next Mon¬ day.’ At this I langlied Inwardly, for It had a familiar sound by that time. It eo happened that I had been engaged to play the piano for

tUoder this beading will appear rerlesra of the moalcal elements of productions appearing in New York. Only the musical portion of the abow will be treated of In tbie column. Critical reriewa of musical p'.aye as such will be found in the Musical Comedy section of The Billboard.]

“IRENE”

(The Vanderbilt Theater)

A musical comedy, by James Montgomery. Music by Hniry Tiemcy. lyrics by Joe Mc¬ Carthy. Staged by Edward Royce.

Seldom is any musical comedy supplied with as much real music as you’ll hear at the Van¬ derbilt Theater, where James Montgomery's comedy is playing to capacity bouses nightly. It is claimed by the management that there has not been a single vacant seat since the opening performance, and right bere is n good time to state, that, regardless of the excellent book, and the nnntnally clcTcr company, and star, that the music, yes the very good music, baa bad a great deal to do with the 8. R. O. bousea. There is not a dull number, from the rise of the first curtain untibthe fall of the Inst, starting with "Hobbles,'* a dainty number sung by Miss McCabe and enaemble, and then immediately after. Miss* Day sings the real hit of the show, “Alice Bine Gosm," sweet, simple nnd appeal¬ ing in melody and cannot help hot become p<^ niar to the extent of a big aclllng hit, it ia real¬ ly a wonderful Httle song. "Castle of Dreams,’’ "The Talk of the Town" and "To Be Worthy of Yon," all different in style, are exceptional¬ ly clerer. and scored inditidnally.

In the second act came two more Bombers away above the average, “Sky Rocket." which carriea an enthusiastic punch, and vriU be a favorite dance number most likely as a one-atep. "Irene," as snug by Miss Day, scored another hit for song and singer,, while "llie Last of Any Party,’* "We’re Getting Away EYom It” and "There’a Something in the Air.” all were well received by the audience. Much of the music is written in wsltz time, end naturally very effective, and seemed to Bt the situations of the play more than usually ocenra in musical plays, whether by chance, accident, or clever judgment. The play fits the worda end muaic. end the music end words fit the pUy.

Anyway. Leo Feist, wise man that he Is, pub¬ lisher of tho music for “Irene,” will find that

AL. PIAHTADOSI MUSIC PUB. CO. 234 W. 46th StfMI, Nm York

moat of the nnmbera will enjoy a big tale, in¬ creasing as th« play continues, that the orcbee- tee leedere wlU need the irresistible dance nnm- bera, and that the phonographs wlU profit with “Alice Bine Gown” end "Irene.” Out Salzer, moelcal director, and hie orchestra, entered into the spirit of each number, and that’a another reason the nnmbera will become popular. And by the way, bere is a little tip for leaders of dance orchestras: Send for “Sky Rocket" it

yon want a warm dance number.

FEIST PUSHING NUMBERS

Chicago, March (L—The sales force, pinggera and everybody else possessing movement in the mnalc pcblisblng house of Leo Feist, Inc., are pushing four numbers, with "Peggy" leading the list. Thmother three are "Myatery," “Chlng- a-Ling'a Jazs Bazaar" and “At the Moving Pic¬ ture BaU."

pursuing indefinitely the nnhusinet-slAe six and

the Jobbers.

“This means that every copy of Stem’s popu¬

Txive's Sunset** is a really great song. Not only has It a wonderful melody, but the sentiment appeals to everyone, and no one has ever before expressed it in such beautiful words. As long as the English language Is spoken this great song will be sung.

Hew York, March 5.—Tbere baa beeu much dltcnsaion over a letter alleged to have been aent to prodDcIng maongera of burleeqae, advlo- •m them that existing o-mdltiona warrant the discootlnnanro of maaagera jvcrblddlag eech other for talent under contren.

While there Is no apparent deetre on the pert of those reapoostble for the letter to interfere with the constitutional rights of artleta to bet¬ ter their pooitioos, the evil pmctlee of aeveral comlca Id negotiating with aeveral managera while under contract with another manager baa brought Bumeroaa complaints to the executlvea of the circuits, and it la safe to aasnme that ■ome of the ingrates will ere long find tham- selves confronted with court Injuortleaa.

When a progresalTe manager seeking aew ma¬ terial takes a chance on an unheralded comic and cootracta for hia aervlce for a specified time, furthermore featuree that comic with special paper and haa stage equipment eapeclaUy designed to set forth his particular cbaracterlaa- thm, the aforesaid manager ahculd have aonia legal iwotectlon anlast the so-cailed artletie temperament that ednses a comic to sidestep hla moral and legal obligations to 'the manager to whom he la under contract. The fact that the prodnetioa and the publicity given the comic by the manager apparently does not figure Into the comic’s calcnlatlons. for hia slow working to- tellact Imi’t aulBcient to grasp the real situation and Ida little but presumptuous ego leads him to beUeve that hia anccesa la due to bis to- dlvldnal talent, and that other managera are eager to band him aa increase in mlary for hla valnable (T) services as a feature entertainer. ■very nun Is supposed to be worthy of hla

hire, but this does not apply to the comic who couldn't poasibly make himself, but after being made by an honest manager, repaya that mana¬ ger’s confidence by jumping his contract.

The evil practice should be condemned and a stop put to it Immediately by expnlalon from the ranks of burlesque, and this wiu be done tt producing managers will ovoperate for matual benefit by recognlilng the prior rights Inreated In eontracta.—NEL8E.

Editorial Comment \

THE PUBLIC DEFENDER Just when the countrj’ is being entertained by t^e i^t>ctacle of a

fugitive from arrest Indul^ng thru his lawyers in long distance biirter with the authorities as to the amount of ball under which he will con¬ descend to surrender himself in a live-milllon-dollar bond theft case, the presentation of Eugene Hrieiix’s savage connnentar>’ on PTench Judi¬ ciary methods of twenty years ago, “The Letter of the Law,’’ comes with appositeness. In tlie '.''•iticisHris of the play stress has been laid on the fact that it Is “FYench” In all its aspects. Nothing could be wider of the mark. With a \ ery slight change in location and the official posi¬ tions of the characters the storj- could fit perfectly into our own Ameri¬ can life. It is easy to locate the mote In a neighbor’s eye and not see the beam In our own optica.

Here at borne the Judicial ermine has been sufficiently besmirched by politician magistrates and Judges thru money' corruption, pressure from rich interests and greetl for political advancement that the at¬ tack made by M. Brieux on the French system might with good effect be directed to our own household. That the proces."ma of the law’ and the exercise of Its functions have fallen into contemptible disrepute In the public mind in this country is clearly displayed by the bicter enthusiasm with which references in the dialog of “The Letter of the Law’’ to thd difference of application of the law In the case of rich and poor are greeted by’ the audience.

“But I thought the law was free,” says the old mother of the In¬ nocent man on trial for his life.

’ “It is,” replies the retired Judge, who finds It eaey to be perfectlj Just since he has left the bench, “it is free—after you get it.”

And a roar of approval comes from the auditorium. AmericanR at large are convinced that If you have money enough

and power enough j’ou can do anything y'Ou please and the law will nol touch you. Case after case in which powerful malefactor.s e.scape while the poor end friendless are punished lend foundation to the contiction.

For those who think and who are willing to admit the truth of w'hat they see and courageous enough to apply it to domestic conditions there Is a big field for serious reflection in the Brieux play’.

It is high time we woke up to the fact that we have enough soiled linen of our own to cleanse without going abroad for material for the Monday morning wash. Every lawyer, every judge, every politician and e\ery voter should see “The I^etter of the T.aw.” At least the voter might learn something to his ow'n and the nation’s profit from It.

A NEW FIELD FOR OUUA Uk© Lorhlnvar out of th« West comes this bit of news. From Ann

Arbor fares forth a newspaper dispatch that Michigan’s seat of learning is In the clutches of the ouija board. "The little table with three legs is ' becoming more plentiful in the fraternity and society homes and In the ^ rooms of Independent students than Bibles or prayer books and more e frequently consulted,” declared a member of the faculty of tho University ♦ of Michigan commenting on a report he had Just received that two t young women In his class had been obliged to leave school and place *

themselves in the hands of nene specialists because of their devotion to the ouija board.

Another member of the university faculty recently Issued this warning In the cI.3ssroom: "If the students will devote the time to study that they now give to the ouija board there will be fewer students placed on the ’home* or on the ‘warned* lists at tho end of tho semester, after the examinations are over. To my mind the lure of the ouija is becom¬ ing a serious menace in this country.’’

This Is a far more serious matter than appears on the surface. We cannot have our institutions for the manufacture of stage door “Johns" undermined without a vigorous protest Something must be done, and quickly, too. One solution of the problem is at hand. The Michigan authorities should collect all the ouijas and planchettes within the con¬ fines of the university, box them up and ship them F. O. B. to the pro¬ ducing managers In New York. Then the gambling men who are con¬ templating placing a bet on a new piece can sit around the board and lire questions at the prophetic table. What a relief it will be to the aching brow of the producer If he can get a little advance Information from the eplrlt land. Whatever happens a trip to French Lick can be belter explained by overindulgence in ouija playing than nervous pros¬ tration from trying to make the public swallow something It will not have. By all means let us have the ouija added to the stock of pro¬ ducers’ knowledge equipment. The table on three legs cannot guess wrong more often than some of them are doing.—PATTERSON JAMES.

Rupert Hughes was an officer In the gre.it war. in whatever arm ,of the service he was, if “The Cat Bird” 'is any means of Judging, he is a natural born artillertTnan. His use of the barrage is supero. His theor>' of playwriting is, apparently, to get hl.a characters on the stage, as many of them as possible at the same time, enclose them In a box 'barrage of gab, and let the audience suffer the casualties.

It Is true that the ammunition he uses Is sometimes bright talk, and. occasionally, amusing epigrams, but the result la always the same, tedious disappointment for the auditors who want to fee John Drew In a pla>' worthy of hla talents.

Wilton LackayV onc'e Siild that the r©a.-»on the Tnanagers were so horror stricken at the thought of actors becoming affiliated with organ- •i*ed labor w.aa the unholy possibility of seeing John Drew walk down "Fifth avenue In a Labor Day parade arm in arm with a plumber. If the presentation of Mr. Drew in “The Cat Bird” is the weapon the managers have w'lzed to get sciuare with Mr. I>rew for his stand during the Actors’ Equity siiuabblo with them then they are more than even.

Cast In the role of an elderly ecologist, whatever that is, who Is giving his life to wedding s-orplons. tarantulas aud hollyhocks (each to Its own specle-i, of course! ahd seeing them live happily ever after- warda the star brings to Mr. vHughe.-' tenuous character all his delightful skill as a comedy player, all his personal charm of manner, and a pleas- aiv mellowness that will be valuable If he gets a vehicle In which these qualities can be displaye<L Until that time his admirers must be con¬ tent merely to see him In a piece which Is not a play at all.

Janet Bee.'htT, showing some slight signs of avoirdupois, makes a good counter effect to Mr. Drew, and Ruth Findlay as a tempestuous young person Is very good.

It is a pleasure to have Mr. Drew once more In our midst. Players of his experlent'e, ability and charm are mighty scarce, and It Is worth while to see him In almost anything. Ju.-t the same “The Cat Bird” Is a dirty trick to play on anyone.—PATTERSON JAME:s.

Dialog, Lyrics and Music by Herman Timberg. Produced Under the Personal Direction of the Author. In Two Acts and Twelve Courses.

■W'hatever merit there Is In "Tick-Tack-Toe” belongs to Herman Tlmbvsince he did It all, according to the program. By the same token V hatever demerit is in it Mr. Timberg must also stand good f r. From two helpings of the piece the verdict must be that the author, librettist and musician is guilty beyond the shadow of a doubL

Speed it has and that is all. The actors, especially Jay Gould and Flo Lewis, work hard and often. Billy and Laura Dreyer do an excel¬ lent double back-to-back dance number and Mr. Timberg finds enough unexpended energy after writing the book and lyrics and music and pro¬ ducing the show to do his familiar Russian dance burlesque. George ‘Mayo, as a Jew comedian without whiskers, is funny in a telephone blL Otherwise mediocrity reigns in stupid serenity.

It is reported that Garry Herrmann, of the Cincinnati Ball Club, and a diamond merchant from the same city, are the backers of the enterprise. It took Mr. Herrmann a long time to get a world's champion baseball team. It will take longer than that to make “Tick-Tack-Toe" anything but a second-rate musical review.—PATTERSON JAMES.

It was a. source of disappointment to loters of genuine acting when the anDmioce- ment was made that the 'Barrymores, John and Lionel, were to leave “The Jest" and appear respectively In “RlcNard III” and "The Letter of the Law." Much of that din- apTKdntment Is aUevlated by Lionel Barrymore’s work as the examining magieirate in Eugene "Brleui'a play of French court prosecntlon methods a score of years ago. Mr. Barrymore has brought with him from the Sen Benelll play enough of the tigerish Nerl to give the necessary bb>od qnullty to his cimracterlaatlon of the brutal Mouxon, who Is a combination of prosecuting attorney and detective.

The play has to do with a young lawyer wls) Is bitten with the amldtl-in to get along to a pronK'lhm op the liem’h. IJke his aswyiates In the high ranks of the Jurtbiary be reallsea that the »mly way to do it Is to 8e*'ure convictions in the cases wbk-h fall to Ws band. The innocenev of the parties involved has nothing to do with the affair. “Get them to the guillotine and memt a step higher on the ladder of judicial prominence."

So when an old miser la murdered It is necessary to fasten the crime on »ome<'ue. A peasant, Etchepare, Is hauled In. Under the merciless examination of Mouseii, who has made up hia mind that he has the right man, the poor wretch Is threatened, cajoled, brow beaten and wheedled into entangling himself In k web of conflicting statements. Ills young wife, Yanetta, the mother of his two children. Is also dragged In, and an unhappy episode in her girUs^id life exposed to force her to incriminate her husband. Both refuse to admit their guilt. The trial Is held and after the prosecuting attorney, Y’ugret, tells the jury that he la convinced of the xtrlsoner's Innocence they are freed.

But the biuband has learned thru AIouS''<d the secret ofvhls wife's past. Tbo she has been a faithful wife and a devoted mother be refuses to condone her only weak, action. Aa the price for not telling the children of her early mistake Yanetta agrees to let them go away with him and never see them again. Mouion for his work on the case Is apjiolnted to a judgeship In Bordeaux, where be has been Involved In a soandahms affair with a woman. He is packing Ills effects to leave for his new berth, full of hapiiy anticipation, when the injured mother, whose life has been wrecked by his remorselessness, stabs him to death in revenge. And Vagret gets his appointment.

Mr. Barrymore’s characterlrition of Mouaon Is without a flaw. He runs the scale of exprestloirDom brutal disregard for every decent feeling In his examination of Eti-he- pare and his wife thru ridicule, sarcasm, fictitious kindness and raging anger. Hands, feet, face, eyes and pauses are employnl with s mastery that Is fasdnatlng to watch. His outburst of sardonic humor are i>erfectiy placol, and altogether his complete per¬ formance is a jewel of a thousand facets and beautiful cutting.

Doris Itankln, wlio has been damned by the reviewers with faint praise for her acting of Y’anetta, deserves far better treatment. She has sincerity, passion, (fidelity b> Ides, a fine measure of the stolidity of a peasant woman, and real humanity in her characterization. The trouble Is that audiences have been so long given lady clothcn horses labeled "actress¬ es” to watch that a bit of real woman Is unappreciated. Russ Wbytal to excellent as Vagret, that strAnge anhiisl, a prosecuting attorney with conscleuce, and the peasant Etchepare of <’harle8 White Is most satisfactory.

But IJonel Barrymore tbrniinates the play. wrhlA la only wrhat Is to be expected and realized In a Barrymore.—P-lTTEHttiON JAMES.

HENRY W. SAVAGE OFFERS

SHAVINGS A Cape Ood Coinody. From Joseph O. linctrth'a Celebrated Norel^ "Sbarlnga'’ Drama-

tlxed by I’anline Fbelpa and Marion Short. £ taxed by John McKee.

“SharlnBa” la to be regretted for two reasons. With all Its faults It conld have been made Into a pleasant auccess by the exercise of some slight knowledge of the ele¬ mentary principles of playwmiting. 'No one who knows anything about the theater can expect sound effect by centering all the sympathy of an aurtlewe on a chief character’s lore for « woman and then at the last minote, without rh.rme or reason, handing the lady over to another man who baa nut flgtited In the love interest at all during the action of the piece.

A man who hag lead a beanty starved exdatence discovers a lovely flower growing in a desert waste. Bis whole life flews with the discovery. Something has come to brighton the weary graynesa of the present and the fntnre. lie watches his flower grow, he sratera dt. shields It from the baring sun and sbeltera It from the Mtlng cold. Be Uvea for It and In It. Then, when It has grown to Its fullest toveLiiewa. n paastng stranger plucks the flower, sticks 4t in his bnttonhole and walks away. That is what the two women who made the dramatization of Joseph Llscoln's book have done. J. Ellwand Winslow’s "Sharflags” has been chested by life out of everything. There comes into his home town n lovely young widow, vrith whom he falls In love. Be protects and helps her. Every force 4n the play np to a certain point leads the aodleuce to hope for the realisation of his heart’s desire. The i«1>ole fabric of the story Is built around tliat Idea. Then as a climax to the plot a former sweetheart of the widow, who has appeared intermittently In the action, calmly appropriates her, and ”8haTtBgs” Is left with the bitter sweet thought that '’ffiUe dogs can bark «t the moon it Is n'methlng to have had the moon to bark at.

That sort of flnlah would be correct If all the accent had not been laid In the body of the plot on "Shavings’ ’’ love for the widow and Its fulflllnjeut. No gelf-respectlng andl- euce la going to stand being cheated out of a tittle Mt of happiness, In seeing tba prin¬ cipal character coma Into hit own, to satisfy two playmahera’ desire for a "switch.'*

The second reason the play la to be regretted la that Harry iBeresford, who made such a splendM Impression In "Boy* Will 'Be Boys,” Is grossly miscast as "Rhavlnf*.’* Be has neither the Cape Cod dialect, the New England manner nor the pliability Of method necessary to give the character Its full value.

James Brodhury, as Captain Bam Hunnlwell, the hardheaded, softhearted Yankee flanker. Is the hit of the play. He has everything needed for the part and naeii it. Charles D»'w Clark, who is IlunnlweH’s pet eaemy, "I’hln’* Babbitt, while veiy good, falls In the qoaUty of vlndlctlveces# In hi* efforts for comedy. Clara Moores, the lovely widow, is Indeed lovely, and little Vivian Tibln is beautifully sincere, cqiopletely glrUsh, and altogether delightful. George Neville extracts a lot of laughs out of the character of "Gabe" Bearse. the village newsmonger, and the rest of the east la excellent, "Shar¬ ings" wonid hare a flne chano to be « HUi'cesa if it were not for the execrable workman¬ ship of the ptaymaker* and Mr. Bvresford's nnhappy miscasting.—FATTEBSON JAMES.

••.Now that the world’s championship taces are hot a short time distant, why not form a racing circuit whereby the real fast skaters who no d.'uht will tujie part In the meet at Columbnt. Ohio, can go from one city to another to take part In the rarca which will no doubt prose a great attraction in all the rinka booke<l. Say, for Instance, from Columbna to Chicago, then >11 waukee St. Ujuia. Detroit, Cincinnati, etc. This will prove a money getter to the racers whp a e Ik. prime condition to pot the best kind uf competlthm. and will draw heavily Into the l>'>x office wbeiehy the rink can well aflbfd to «ffer the racera large enonf'i pnrsea to make It worth while their time and eCo.ts. This wag done In 11*08 and lOOU, for I reme-nber taking part In tha wo:Id's champiunahlps at rittsburg. We would go to Cincinnati. St. Ix>nls and other cities and nsnally the fastest skatera who were sure of getting in on the money would travel In a iK-dy to where the e racea were adver¬ tised and we alwaya d.ew b!g crowds and pat np some wonderful racea which brought the •pei’titora back again the next night. 1 for one am willing to make It worth while for a ■eiiea of races In Milwaukee.

Dr. White Ragle (A. P. McCarty) and wife, of Pioua, Ohio, were callers at the home othce of The Billboard last week while enruute to Lexington, N. C., from where White Ragle In¬ tends to launch a small medicine show In the near future. They have been out of the game thia winter, the doctor occupying himself with the building of bungalows, of which be now owns seven, In Piqua and a like number in Clay Center, lyans. MTilIe in Clncy Bill ventured the subject of retirement to Dr. White Cagle. "Yes, we have thought of It, but you know the spirit of the roadman,’* was the reply.

Dr. ’H. L.—The Billboard was a weekly pub¬ lication a number of years before the date you mention. As to “the colnmn,’’ there were several suggested It. but the Orst ap:>earance of “Pipes For Pitchmen’’ (by UasoLne Bill Baker) appeared in the issue of August 0, 1913, and edited by that hnstUng knight of the road. Max Gottlieb. % In the second issue of “Pipes" appeared the following: ’Tipes is going to make a hit—if we can get enough pipes. Don’t expect Max Beilttog to do it a'.l, boya. Re¬ member, be only engaged to* start it. Kick in. If it la Only your name and address on a p>atai card to let others know where you are, it will help.”

The following from Dr. Ed Frink; "Opened my season at Anson, Texas, and have lost but a few days since that time. Tills has been my banner season, and while there lias been lots of “flu" anl cold weather, I have succeeded in banking nearly a grand. I carry one man, Henry Goodwin, and I can truthfnUy say he is the best stieet performer I have ever worked with, I am up in the ‘plains' country, near Amarillo, and um the only medicine man in this part of the State. The re-ders are high, sUeets mostly cU-sed and tx ard is very high, lajts of leaf men, a few cloth men up here, and all doing business.”

One lad kicks In: “Bill, if you should tee a fat ipocketbook lying on the iiavement ahead of Teu, and before you con’d get to it, a black <at would run across the alreet in front of you. what would you do?” WeJ, if suoersti- tious, one might get a long Ashing pc .e and line and oveicome a bad situation, but. person- __— ,_ ally, X would lirst make a n-h and grabe that MORE COMPANY, poke, end then the cat, and pension that feline

At aa oSlclal meeting preceding the social, matters of great Importance were dltcnaaed! which was the canse of Using mnch pent-np pep, and resulted In the ap.toin.ment of U. 8. Tyler by President Parker as custodian of the safety gauge. Orer one hundred applications for membership were recelred and acted upon, bringing the total membership la good standing to 493, and the e'nb but two months old. 'Hia Information that the treasury had exceeded the 92.000 mark with no outstanding debts, only added fuel to the flame, but It was during an address by T. J. Cannon, one time circus and esmlral magnate, and new rated as an “oil king," who, u.ton iea.ning fl at the club had set the goal at 93 OOO by October 1, upset the meet¬ ing by pledrtog 9500 to that amount, prorldlng the club .alsed the balance. This so exened Brother Tyler that be forgot his duties with the result that the ‘ safetr gauge’’ on entbu- slssm was tinated “to smithereens.'*

It was during the same time la “Parlor A" that the worthy wires and daughters of these skosrmen were orgaaUlag their auxiliary under the moat t'leasaut and suspicions conditions, guided by representatlre women of their profes¬ sion. In characteristic free-b .aded Western style the ladies were piesented with a personal tkns- tion of 1300 by the men’s club, adding fbe sum of 9280 by their own efforts, which starts the auxiliary oa a firm foundation, flnsnrlally.

JERSEY BADLY &IANAOBD It is difficult to say exactly who has

charge of the fight for Sunday pictures in New Jersey, but the producers and exchangemen seem to be getting a lot of notoriety out of it. Unfortunately there has been far more notoriety than success. The fight In New York was won without a penny contributed by any producer or exchangemen. The exhibitors organised public sentiment, which was overwhelmingly In favor of Sunday pictures, but not more over¬ whelmingly than In New Jersey. The New Jersey exhibitors In the aggre¬ gate have not been heard from. There is no evidence that they have any par¬ ticular enthusiasm for the present method of campaigning. The more the manufacturers and the exchangemen keep out of such fights the better. The question Is not whether the pro¬ ducer, distributor or exhibitor is going to make more money. That Is entirely incidental. The controlling question Is whether the public want It. If the

^ public want their ancient right to rec- #1*50 reation after church hours restored 3.00 them the best spokesmen for them 4.00 are the men who run the motion pic- 6 00 theaters. 0*00 ONE KIND OP TAXATION THAT

strictest vigilance in tbe disposition of motion

“This conclusion." the company states, “which

appear draatic to many exporters of motion pic-

tbe same policy lu pursue Is to wait until the

THE CKITICAIi X-BAT “THE WOMAN GAME” Tone of gun puwder must hare been burnt -

up in the picturing of this wild and woolly Scenario by O. Marion Burton, directed by

THE 8TOBY IN SKELETON VOHil

This story rerolves around a most remarkable

detectlre wbu combines all the traditional qual¬

ities of the headquarters sleuth with a burning

desire to redeem weak men and women and save . them from ciime. A vapid youth in love

with a deHlgnlug adventuress and with read/

access to the cash of the bank where be Is em¬

ployed steals half a million dollars, and is about to run away with the money when be is

apprehended by the sanctified detec tive. The

detective knowi that the vapid youth had been

urged by the adventuresa to steal this numey;

in fart he comes into the vampire’s apartments,

In which the foolish swain has bidden the stolen

hills. The dete<-tlTe makes no arrest, takes

the silly boy bsck to the bunk, telling Mm to

replace the money and no one will ever know,

and then, to the surprise of the andleuce, tells

the bad woman “be bas nothing on her,’* and

lets her go. The pbllantropblc poses of the

detective displease a crooked deputy police com¬

missioner, who “frames’* him and dismisses him

■ftvm the force. Hie crooked commissioner sells

protection to gamblers and other criminals, and

Is In the heyduy of his power and prosperity

when the good detective gets evidence against

him and exposes him. The play winds up with

the reformed adventnress marrying the good

detective.

THE CRITICAL X-RAT

The crowds In the Strand liked this produc¬ tion. ’There were few i>artlculnr comments,

but everybody was Interesteil In the picture.

The latter Is In large part melodramatic, with

n mixed background fnrnUbed in part by the

underworld, and in part by the police depart¬

ment. The exaggerated humanity of the de¬

tective who is BO unlike the real thing known

to old police court reporters was made some¬

what plausible by the developments of tbe plot

and by tbe excellent acting of the man who

played the part. Tbe cast was excellent thru-

out, but tbe performance of Emmet Corrigan

la tbe role of the crooked deputy police com- mltsloDer stood out by reason of Its striking 11-

dellty to life. The direction of the film play

was excellent. There were plenty of thrills, of

surprises and tbe element of suspense was not

lacking. Tbe settings and the atmosphere as

well as tbe tyt>es selected for tbe impersona¬

tion of minor characters In tbe play were ex¬

ceptionally fine and true to the realities.

ADVERTISING POSSIBIUTIES

May safely be advertised as n thriller with

a good strong story and an exceptionally fine

cast.

THE CRITICAL X-RAY

There is constant interest in the unfolding

of this story snd as it has not been exag¬

gerated it makes very engaging entertainment.

The scenario has been well constructed and

sympathy attracted for the lead without tbe role becoming too maudlin or darkened with

woe. While it poesessea no extraordinary plot

It has a certain tension which rivets attention and the many human qualities of tbe hero who

may be gullable but not weak strikes an answering chord In the hearts of the spectators.

The cast la small In number, bat each member

was evidently chosen for hla or ber Individual

ability. Tbe sequences followed naturally, the action guided by tbe capable band of an ex¬

perienced director.

THE WOMAN’S POINT OF VIEW Very little variety was noticeable In tbe set¬

TUE CRITICAL X-RAY

Wliat makes thia picture so different, appeal¬

ing and interesting, is its simplicity and strict

adherence to the homely atmosphere of a small

home. With unerring instinct Director Rosen

has kept within bounds of the homely horizon

which features the simple, ordinary routine

duties of a young wife and mother whose love

is wTaiped up in her husband end children much to the neglect of herself. It iMssesMea no ex¬

traordinary plot, no frenzied thrills or dra¬

matic cUmaxea but it Is wonderfully simple,

clean and tear compelling. l'\)r this reason it

will score heavily aa it la Bna|>ensive, well con¬

trived and anggeats a profusion of homely de¬

tail which strikes the imaginatlou with real¬

istic force. Tbo of the triangle type it ia clean

and implies the fickleness of man's nature, bis impatience with domeatic trials, his roving am¬

atory impulses which change with years, yet returns to sanity and decency when his loved

one is in peril. Yea, this la a human document

whb-h digs deep into our vitals because we rec¬

ognize the fundamental frailties afflicting mr.i and women. The moat thrilling se<iaence enters

the last reel when a storm on the Pacific shores

nearly takes the life of the heroine; the sns-

pense of this incident bolds the spectator in a tense grip. The raging elements and angry

waves striking the rocks offer a enperb bit of photography.

Appropriate titling Is another feature which has been carefully considered by the producer.

Mary MacLaren expressed emotional and tragi¬

cal qualities in a snrprising manner. Her ex¬

pressive countenance told of the poignant anguish of the sorely stressed wife; she visual¬

ized all the tender motherly instincts which

made her aacrlflce self and this faithful por¬

trayal should place here In the nnmber one emotional claas of screen cbaractcrizattona. Ed¬ ward Pell as the philandering bnaband, was like¬

wise convincing, giving a vivid presentation of

the difficult role.

detail perfected the production. And don’t for¬

THE WOMAN’S POINT OF VIEW

We might aptly term this picture poetry

aUs of opinion will be that this offering out¬

MR. AND MRa AL QUICKSALE. 234 East Huren SL. Chissgs. ll'issii^

A special school lyccum and ebantauqua

course Is conducted June 10 to July IS.

Two things have led to the establishment of a lyceum bureau. First, the continual and rapid growth of the school and the attendancu of a large number of students who have ehoses the lyceum and platform as a profession. Among the pupil# arc a aumber cf tbe leading Chautauqua speakers and concert artists of America. Second, tbe constantly growing and urgent demand for lecture courses and enter¬ tainments in chnrches and schools and social clubs. Cbnrch, home and school most Join to provide recreatloB. entertainment and Inspira¬ tion that will lead to higher Ideals and alms.

Dr. King flrmly believes that each school, esch

cbnrch should have a course of lectures and entertainments. Tbe common otdnion that the

one Icctnre course in town or community will

suffice la a mistake. What will five or six

evening entertainments do to counteract tha

mighty call ef pernicious influences on every

hand? Communities must provide employment

for heart and brain and keep the faces turned

to tbe light.

Therefore, following this Ideal to its local conclusion, tbe King School of Oratory has ea- tablished a lycenm and Chautauqua or enter¬ tainment bureau In connection with its other activities. Its object I. to supplemenC the regular lyceum and Chautauqua—not to sup¬ plant it.

It seems to us that the description of tha Ideals, purposes, works and practical activities of the King School »f Oratcry la summed up la these words;

seat of operation, pharyngeal quinsy, and last, bnt not least, tonsiutls.”

Tbe Boston Medical and Surgical JoumsI, In reviewing a discussion on the removal of tbe tonsils, ezpreaa*a th# opinion that the operstioB Is a mneb more serious one than It is popularly considered, and should certainly not be entered npoa lightly, bnt discretely, advisedly and sober¬ ly. This admonition, coming as It does at a season when the tonsils, especially In children, are most subject to irritation, should be borne in mind. "Tonsils,” saya the Journal, “should not bo removed for trivial symptoms. Tonsil¬ lotomy Is not Jnstlflable simply becanse tbe ton¬ sils protrude in front of the pUltrs, or because they look nigged, or for occaslowal sore throat, or because they contain plugs, or because tbe patient la under ether for adenoids, or for any remott symptoma not of a serious natare, or to protect the child from indefinite infection, or for an occasional attack of simple acute ton- sllltla.”

I came away from that school more con¬ vinced than ever that the wholesale operations for the removal of tonsils are nanccessary and often a crime against the talented, ambitious youth of our country.

The school conducts a summer ten-day ehan- tanqua each year—for the past few summers they have gone to Sallz, a little health resort eleven mile, from Johastowm, Pa.

Each is a full day at these cbsntaaqna*. Dur¬ ing the day the time liesidea lectures and ea- tertslnmrnta Is spent Is phylcsl recreational health exercises and body bulliling. The even¬ ings are devoted to literary and mental de¬ velopment—soul building.

WHEN all is said and done, there are but two points to consider- two outstanding facts:

No. 1. You are after the money. No. 2. We are after the money. Arguments regarding these two facts are superficial. Neither will we go into lengthy detail regarding the prowess of the

“FROZEN SWEETS,” the candy package that has completely revo¬ lutionized the theatrical and circus concession business.

Suffice to say that the “FROZEN SWEETS” have created in the City of New York a concession war, in which a half dozen of the largest con¬ cession concerns of ftiat city and of the entire country are battling for the control of the different Burlesque and Vaudeville Theatre concessions.

While this is an unpleasant situation and will react to the benefit of the theatrical managers only, it shows as nothing else possibly could the money-getting powers of the “FROZEN SWEETS.’’

For the “FROZEN SWEETS” are the backbone and sinewsof this war. They made successes out of bloomers and gold mines out of successes. They are doing that today and will do the same ten years from to¬

day and twenty years from today. For the “FROZEN SWEETS” are here to stay. Another achieve¬

ment credited to American originality and industry. The “Frozen Sweets” are shipped by express, prepaid to any part

of the United States. Price, $55.00 per thousand packages, shipped 250 packages to

carton. A deposit of $10.00 required for each thousand packages ordered. The “Frozen Sweets” are sold in multiples of 250 packages, but

the most convenient method for purchaser is to order in units ol 2,500, which contain 9 cases of regular stock and 1 case of “Ballys” or “Flash.”

A sample carton of 100 packages shipped prepaid upon receipt of $5.50.
