Twenty minutes. ~ ‘Wilner and Romberg, the musical comedy producers, have invaded vaude- ville, and their first act to.make-the Palace is Lillian Roth and Company. . She is the child star of “Shavings,” and the company, is none other than her “Kid” sister, Anna. ‘Their lttle sketch is called’ “Make Believe.” . The-routine con- sists mainly of 4 series of impersonations of musical comedy and dramatic stars, including Patricia Collinge, in “Pollyanna;"-Frances. White, in “Jimmie,” and Ruth Chatterton in “Daddy Long-Legs.” Both of the kiddies-have his- trionic ability. and no doubt will be heard from some day... This act scored a fair band. Nine minutes. ° Margaret Young, “with an inimitable delivery of song.” as the program put it, appeared next and “mopped.” She is one of those young ladies possessed. of & “sweet Daddy” voice, and, oh, boy, how she,can use it. Her impressions of “A Disappointed Chorus Giri” and “A Disappointed Colored Girl” went over to a “riot.” Miss Young has personality-as well as vocal ability. and she is good to look upon and a lot of other things. And, who wouldn't be a hit if they had.all-her “talents.” ‘Seventeen minutes. ‘Menlo Moore and Macklin Megley next presented Eddie Borden-in a re- version of Hassard Short’s “Nance™ act, “Bleaty-Bleaty,” now titled “On Fifth Avenue.” Here is a rather neat girlie act, which moves at a rapid tempo, is devoid of plot and affords Borden ample opportunity to show off his prowess as a comedian, dancer and songster...He is supported by.a rather capable. cast, including ‘Rose Kressner, Ben: Mason, Elmer Brown, 2dith La ‘8001 to'raln everything.

Borden is a favorite at the Palace and red one of the outstanding hits of the afternoon. ‘When this’ act was first seen it ran close on to sixty minutes. It now finishes in thirty. * ‘We never had much time for Topics of the Day.” and after reading Upton Sinclair and what he has to say about the “Press of the World” we have less. ‘The “wise and witty” subtitles hardly got @ laugh this afternoon, while the “patriotic” comment fared in like manner when it comes to a hand. ‘Eddie Buzzell and Peggy Parker got by to a fair sized hit in opening the second portion of bill. Buzzell is @ fair.comedian, while Miss Parker makes & rather pleasant picture in her widow's weeds, but contributes ttle more to the entertainment value of the act. Eleven minutes, -- Mme. Emma Trentini, erstwhile star of the light opera stage, went over to a big hand, with a well-balanced program of operatic numbers, including “Bird Song” from “Pagliacci, “Giannia Mia” from “Firefly,” .“Zin Zin” from “Naughty Marietta.” ‘TrentinI’s voice is excellent in the upper register, but not particularly ingratiating with mellowness in the lower, the throat tones at times being harsh, but then Trentini-is a “showman” and knows e thing or two about putting her “stuff” over in a telling way. Albert Vernon at the piano, as well as the Palace orchestra, contributed but little to the hit she scored. Fourteen minutes. to eiliiiale CHR..the English comedian, “brought home the bacon” in next closing. . “Co Dora, billed asq"Most Daring Girl in the World,” closed the show with the most sensatlomial act to be seen at this house in many a day.

It is not his studied utterances, nor his paid ad- vertisements that tell the truth. Since the beginning of the world, the rich tyrant, the wealthy “Boss,” has always been able to find venal lackeys to spread his praises, and by falsehood, sophistry and misstatements attempt to persuade the world that a Czar is an angel, a Head of a Coal Trust a Trustee of God, and that the most selfish employer, provided he is wealthy enough, is the greatest angel. But, occasionally, the tongue slips. Sometimes the pen of .one of the smaller lackeys falters, and out into the world is blazoned the exact truth, and the true inner sentiments of such employers are thus revealed. Each year, as Christmas and New: Year have come around, I have warned Vandeville Actors against the free feeds, ranging from coffee in @ tin cup and dry san@wiches to 2 banquet at the Adams House, Boston, doled out to them as charity by their kind (?) benevolent (7) friends, the managers. ES I have asked the Actor if he couldn't pay for his own meals, and why he should be a recipient of such charity, such “hands-oit” by his employer. 1 have pointed out that where the worst salaries are paid, such as the Fifth Avenue and Fifty-Eighth Street, and the Harlem Opera House, New York, Actors are given tea and toast. and SOME ACTORS ARE FOOLS ENOUGH TO APPARENTLY APPRECIATE IT. ‘The Management, with honeyed words, with saccharine published letters, weekly informs Actors that the Manager's sole interest is in ‘the Actor’s welfare; that they give Actors these meals because they admire Actors, because they respect Actors, because they love Actors. ‘This is what the chorus of Press Agents, the concerted. shouts of the hirelings, convey week after week to the Foolish Actor. I have tried in vain to convince Actors that THESE FREE MEALS DEGRADE THEM; that Managers only despise Actors for accepting them; that Managers only use this so-called benevolence in the shape of a free meal to get extra work out of the Actors, to bring more people into the ‘Theatre, and to enable them to pose as Saints, Angels and Fathers of the Profession. It is @ good presumption that because I (Mountford) said it, it has fallen on deaf ears. The Managers have told the Actors: “Oh, that is more of Mountford's ravings. YOU know we are YOUR friends, and we are giving you this food and asking you to do this public rehearsal Decause WE ove" YOU, and aré careful and solicitous of YOUR COM- FORT.” And some Actors believe this or at least pretend they believe it, for from the MecVicker’s Theatre, Chicago, which gives a public re- hearsal on Monday, does four shows a day on Monday, Tuesday, Wednes- day, Thursday and Friday, five on Saturday and six‘on Sunday, certain Actors wrote @ letter, dated November 24th, which says in part: “Just a few lines of appreciation and praise for the Manager of McVicker’s Theatre in Chicago. At rehearsal Monday morning; coffee and doughnuts are waiting for the artists. It. is a week of absolute comfort for the artists.” : ‘This was signed. by several Actors, and published in ono of Mr. , Albes's numerous press sheets. : . [wonder what the Manager really thought when he saw that letter? I wonder what any sensible Actor, with any regard for the dignity of his Profession, felt when ho read it}" I wonder how any sane MAN, even an Actor, could write it? Let it go down in history, “The McVicker’s Theatre,” “A WEEK OF COMFORT FOR THE ARTIST.” A statement bought by a nickel's worth of coffee and doughnuts. How that must despise those Actors! How all Managers must feel the utmost contempt for such Actors! I know that these are their exact feelings. They believe Actors are worse than slaves. ‘The reason I know is that there is a Circult in this Country, known as the Interstate Circuit. It ig affiliated with and associated with the Keith Cireult. It ig booked ftom the Palaco Theatre Building, 1564 > New York. One of the Theatres on that Circuit is the Majestic Theatre, Austin, Texas. Andon December the 3ist, 1920, the Manager of that Theatre Placed in all the Austin (Texas) papers the following advertisement, which is here reproduced in exact photographic facsimile: Kiss the Old Year Good-Bye At the MAJESTIC Big “Midnight Frolic and Cabaret \ TONIGHT In-eonjunction with regular show, Starting at 9:00 P. M. See actors eat and make monkeys of themselves—something. you can’t_pay them +o do- but FREE TO ALL Holding Tickets for the Regular Performance.. Now, monkeys! Here you have it! IN PLAIN, COLD TYPE, THE REAL OPINION OF MANAGERS OF ACTORS. ~ Ido not know what they gave these Actors to eat there, but what- ‘ever it was it was used as a means to get more people to come in to “See Actors eat and make monkeys of themselves.” It was not an “Added Attraction,” but the Feature of that evening's performance, and the Public is invited free to “See . Of themselves.” I want every Actor to cut this out and keep it, and this year, when at the Alhambra, at Harlem, or the McVicker’s, Chicago, he is offered coffee and doughnuts or tea and bread and butter (just as you would throw a bone to a yellow dog in the gutter), and next year, when he is asked to go to these “free feasts,” that he ‘will remember that every- ‘one who goes there is, in the opinion of the Managers, “making a monkey of himself.” 2 I do not blame the Managers for their opinion of Actors who stand for such stuff. . No one is going to respect anybody who does not respect himself, ‘and no one can respect a person who, for a nickel’s worth of coffee and cake, will write fulsome, flattering, sycophantic letters, or, for a meal, ‘will eat in public as a Show and agree to make a monkey of himself. ‘Because, this advertisement was published before the evening, and the Actors knew what was expected of them; and the sad, sad partof it is that some of them did it. Actors will never get the respect of Managers until they prove to the Managers that they are worthy of respect. Actors will never occupy their true position in the Vaudeville Field until it is driven home to the Managers that Managers exist because there are Vaudeville Actors. ACTORS DO. NOT EXIST BECAUSB ‘THERE ARE MANAGERS. Managers and Agents livo.on Actors.. Actors do not live on Mana- gers and Agents. THE ACTOR IS THE SHOW BUSINESS, and the Actor has per- mitted himself to allow Managers. anc ts ‘to degrade him tothe Tnvel of 2 “MONKEY WHO EATS IN POBLIC# I Hope and ‘Trust and Pray that this lesson may sink deep into the hearts and niinds-of the Actors of this Country. I Hope and Trust and Pray and Plead with them never to forget the way in which the Managers despise and look down upon them. And, as this New Year commences, there are some resolutions that I wish every Actor to take, to adhere to and live up to. “That from now on no Manager can blot out my self-respect; no ‘Manager can buy my soul for a meal! “That all my actions, singly and collectively, individually and as an grganized Body, shall bé to uplift the dignity of myself and my Pro- = : “That the time has passed when I will take anything for nothing. + “That I will not bribe or be bribed. “AND -THAT | WILL BE FROM NOW ON, IN THE EYES OF MANAGERS AND IN MY OWN EYES AND THE EYES OF THE’ WORLD, A MAN, NOT A MONKEY.” 4440 Broadway, New York. ¥ 4 'The Billboard “JANUARY 15, 1921 SEATTLE ORCHESTRA ‘AND SONGS POPULAR Seattle, Wash:, Jan. 6.—The Springtime Jazz- men's Orchestra secured by Manager Gowmen of the Washington Hotel Annex is ctusing cou- siderable comment in music elrcles because of its uncsus! playing. ‘This orchestra of five pep- Dy Dizzicotos is directed by Wm.

Demands Expulsion CLAIMS DISCRIMINATION IS SHOWN DECISION THIS WEEK FEAR OF “EQUITY SHOP” Will Cause Managers To Stick ‘To- gether, Is General Belief New York, Jan. 16—From what could be learned yesterday anf to- day about the demand of Equity ‘that the iberts be from the Producing Managers’ Associa- tion it fs unlikely that the mana- gers will consent to thelr expulsion. It is understood that conferences have been held by the managers and the bellef is general that they can best serve thelr interests by all sticking together, Some have expressed their be- Nef that if the Shuberts were ex- pelled Equity would force the “Equity Shop” on them and that this would prove the entering wedge for its application to all managers. As all are bitterly op- posed to the idea of the “Equity Shop” it is said that this will tend to hold them all together, trre- spective Of the merits of Equity’s case. In this event it is not known what Equity’s attitude will be and. Equity officials \Wwill not commit themselves on this point, New York, Jan. 13.—Stirred to ac- tion by what it says is a settled pol- fey on the part of the Shuberts to discriminate against members of its organization, the Actors’ Equity Asgo- ciation delivered an ultimatum this afternoon to the Producing Managers’ Association to expel the Shuberts from. the P, M, A, a A committee consisting of Frank Gillmore, executive secretary of the Actors’ Equity Association; Dorothy. Bryant, executive seéretary of the Chorus Equity Association; Tom Gam~- ble, representing the Americam Fed- eration of Musicians; William McKin- “Ron, representing the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage’ Em- Ployees, in person, and Hugh Frayne, State organizer of the American Fed- eration of Labor, by letter, met a com- mittee of. the Producing Managers’ Association composed of Sem H, Hare ris, president of the P. M. A: George ‘Nicolai, secretary of the P. M. A. and Arthur Hopkins by appointment at the P. M. A. headquarters, 231 West Forty-fitth street, at 2 p.m. today and delivered @ letter demanding the ex- pulsion of the Shuberts from the P. M. A. and a bill of particulars giving certain cases which had convinced the Equity that the Shuberts were prac- ticing discrimination against Equity members, not sporadically, but ac- cording to a fixed policy. At four o'clock this afternoon Frank Gilmore called in the reporters from all the New York papers.and together with John Emerson delivered a state- ment of Equity’s action and ox- plained verbally the reason for it. Tho letter demanding the Shuberts’ expulsion from the managers’ ai clation is as follows: Janudry 18, 1921. Producing Managers’ Assoclatioi Gentlemen—With regret we submit herewith definite charges of flagrant nd continued violation of the basic Agreement betwcen us of September 6, 1919, by the Messrs. Lee and’ J. J. Shubert. These reveal, among other abuses, unfair discrimination, failure to give contracts, failure to pay ac- ‘cording to contract and discharge of actors who complain of such failure all fundamental matters. ‘The settled policy of the Messrs. Shubert clearly evidenced by these violations is opposed to that of nine- tenths of your members, who ‘live up to this agreement and with whom we have worked in harmony, and for this reason, and also-because you are the guarantor of performance in good faith of each producing member and therefore cannot countenance such a Policy, we request, upon confirmation of these charges, that all relations between you and the Messrs. Shubert ‘be severed. ‘Yours very truly,” ACTORS’ EQUITY ASSN., Frank Gillmore, Exec. Secy. CHORUS EQUITY ASSN., Dorothy Bryant, Exec. Secy. Another letter accompanted’ this which” notified the managers that Equity was going to give the matter the utmost publicity. This was as follows: January 13, 1921. Producing Managers’ Association: Gentlemen—In view of the fact that publicity in regard to the matters re- ferred to in our communications of even date cannot be avoided, and we wish it to be made clear that our sole complaint at this time is against the ‘Mesers. Shubert-and none other, we are this day giving these communica- tions to the press. Yours very truly, ACTORS’ EQUITY ASSN., Frank Gillmore, Exec. Secy. CHORUS EQUITY ASSN. Dorothy Bryant, Exec. Secy. The reasons for Equity believing the Shuberts were discriminating against their members was stated to the P. ‘M. A. to be as follow: January 13, 1921. Producing Managers’ Association: Gentlemen—We charge Messrs. Leo and J.-J, Shubert with Intentional and continued violation of the basic agree- ment between us of September 6, 1919, and of the individual contracts made thereunder. These violations, in the main, comprise unfair discrimination, failure to give contracts, failure pay according to contract, and dis- missal of actors who complain of such failure. It seems almost unnecessary to formally state facts supporting the charges Just made, which.are common knowledge in the theatrical profession and we therefore call your attention at this time only to open, notorious and easily ascertained facts affecting whole companies. ‘We wish you to know, however, that we have at hard a large volume of evidence, thru complaint and aff- davit, covering individual grievances, instances of which are cited. ~ As you know, for some time after the making of the basic agreement, matters similar to those which we now refer to were made the basis of 4ndividual complaint and adjustment. ‘We continued to do this until we be- came aware that these matters were not occasional and sporadic, but were part of what is ¢learly a settled Shu- bert policy. Then partly because on making complaints our members were immediately discharged, and partly to ‘wait until that poliey was openly and definitely defined by the Messrs. Shu- bert and evidence of an overwhelm- ing nature to this effect had been ob- tained, we have held these complaints in abeyance. ‘The keynote of the basic agreement is that each of our members shall re- ceive an Equity contract, that the conditions of this contract shall be ob- served and that none of our members will be “discriminated against. Our investigation shows that in vi- olation of these basic requirements, HUBERTS in the following productions controlled by the Messrs. Shubert, the following facts appear: In the “Maytime,” “Passing Show of 1918” and “Cinderella .on Broad- way” companies, if contracts are given at all, members are required to sign either independent contracts, ‘which call for at least nine perform- anges (with Sunday performance in addition) without extra compensation, or standard. contracts with a rider re- quiring the actor to give nine per- formances and Sunday performance, if any, without extra compensation. In the case of “The Passing Show of 1919” the same conditions obtain, and in addition members are required to agree to give unlimited rehearsals without extra compensation. In the “Sinbad” Company the stand- ard form of contract is used, but mem- bers are required in consideration of an additional payment of $5 to give all-extra performances free. In this company-members were ad- vised on being employed that the sal- ary was $40 weekly (this being the average wage at that time), but on signing the ‘members were allowed only $35 weekly unless they would agree to the rider above mentioned. In every case we have investigated *@ wo find that tho standard contract was refused unless member agreed to sign the rider. In the “Ploradora” Company initial- ly members engaged to go on the road were refused contracts and pay- ment has not been offered for extra performances, and in case where it hhas been asked for the demanding member has received his or her no- tice. In this company we are advised that chorus members were promised $40 weekly on the Yoad and not re- céiving it made objection, and there- after the Messrs, Shubert agreed to make this payment as promised, but subject to the requirement that no claim would be made for extra per- formances, and a company sheet to that effect was required to.be signed by such chorus members. In “The Passing Show of 1921” various chorus members were re- Tequired to rehearse more than four ‘weeks without compensation for ex- tra rehearsals and have received no written contract. In “The Galeties of 1919” members engaged’ gfter the making of the basic agreement were with few exceptions refused any contract and were not paid for extra performances and in the case of male members of the chor- us they were not paid the minimum salary of $30 weekly, but only $25. In the last year’s “1918 Passiny Show” we are advised that a | ten performances a week were played Ny and that chorus members who were engaged after the making of the basic agreement were not paid for extra (Continued on page 15) Last Week's Issue of The Billboard Contalned 1 — ON Chassiied AGS, Totaling O16 Lines, and 570 Display Ads Totaling 23061 Lines, 1871 Ads, Occupying 207 Lines ta A The Edition of ,This Issue of The Billboard Is 59,350 6 The Billboard JANUARY 22, 1921 EQUITY SCORES DRAMATISTS’ ACTION ON “EQUITY SHOP” Resolution Was “Railroaded” Thru, It Is Charged —Committee Was Prejudiced and Used Steam Roller Tactics, According to Statement of the A.

Robert Emmet Keane, slated for a feature, failed to putin an appearance; Anna Chandler filling the breach. Altho the show started at the scheduled time it ‘was well after five when the final curtain was rung down. Madame Adelaide Hermann, widow of famoue “Hermann the Great,” opened the show. We fail to agree with her billing, that of “A New Series of ‘Mystery Problems.” Nevertheless, her routine of tricks was none the less interesting. She was handicapped thruout by a half empty house, and the continuous filing in of latecomers helped jn no small measure to detract from ‘the attention that should have been hers. James Burk and Eleanor Durkin found going in second spot hard. But it wasn’t their fault, for both appeared to be capable performers. The trouble ‘was just this: The chicken used in an illusion in Madame Herman's act took St into its head to fly into the pit, and then some kind soul put the cackling hen back on the stage just in time for it to become an unrehearsed member of the Burk and Durkin turn. Try ashe would Burk couldn't get his mind off that chicken, and try as he would he couldn't get said chick off stage. So there you are. Every time he'd try to put a number or gag over it was tres chic. This kept up for twenty minutes or so. Beth Beri, who comes from California and is new to the Palace, was next seen in a most diverting dancing skit, assisted by Jay Velie and George Clifford. ‘Miss Beri is a charming young lady, who dances with all the grace and ease of @ finished artiste. Jay Velie is @ versatile young man, who dances, sings and plays the piano excellently, while George Clifford, who, by the way, is new to vaudeville, is no mean stepper. During an Oriental number Miss Beri slipped and fell into the “foots,” with the result that several bulbs exploded, shower- ing her with tiny particles of glass. She was forced to retire for several mo- ments, but soon returned and finished out the remainder of the act, despite the fact that she was obviously suffering from the injury. All the world ad- mires a game sport, and she is that and then some. Seventeen minutes and a solid hit. > Anna Chandler scored quite a hit with her well rendered song cycle and clever comedy material. Twelve minutes. ‘Homer Mason and Marguerite Keller followed in a comedy sketch, entitled “Oh,” by Porter Emerson Browne, scoring a good-sized hand. Altho slapstick and hokum are in evidence, this act is none the less diverting. It is admirably written, every line being a laugh and every laugh a hearty one. Both Mason and Miss Keller are clever performers and are capably supported by Walter S. Howe in the role of a long-haired, bewhiskered maker of bombs. Mason plays the part of a gentleman crook and Miss Keller is a would-be nurse. The plot, what there is of it, centers about a string of pearls, which has a mysteri. gus "way of disappearing time and time. again during the twenty odd minutes the act is on. Following the intermission and “Topics of Day” Lina Abarbanell was seen in “The Bride,” with book and Istics by William Hull Hubert and music by Milton Scharzwald. Holbrook Blinn, star of “The Bad Man,” is the pro- ducer. Blinn may be a good actor, but as a producer he is found wanting. ‘This act has for its locale a bride’s boudoir somewhere in France, and for this reason is supposed to be naughty. The plot has all to do with a bride of two months who invites several of her former lovers to keep her company ‘during the time her husband is away on a business trip. But friend husband returns.and finds them all in his wife's boudoir. Old stuff, except for a rather original twist at the end, which saves it from being a flop. Miss Abar- Danell is fair in the role of the wife. She is supported by James Moore, Rich- ard Farrell, John Merkyl, Edwin Favor and John Smith. The music is fairly tuneful, but not overly original. Altho this act got a fair hend there was something suspicious-about the way those who applauded were located in the audience. Twenty minutes. ¥ George M. Rosener, In a new series of character studies, entitled “The Anthology of An Old Actor,” showed many an embryo performer. out front how to put over character bits. Rosener is a sterling actor. He was espe- ¢lally good In the part of an old soldier of the G. A. R. His was the biggest hand of the afternoon. Fifteen minutes. Adelaide and Hughes, with Dan Casler at the piano, were a riot.

So they cast aside all personal ambitions, so far as song writing ‘was concerned, and decided to let others do the writing. As a result thelr house became an open one for new and old writers, and quite.a few owe it to Marks and Stern for their start in the business. A short time ago 3 man who was once a popular and prosperous song writer paid them acom- pliment which neither has ever heard: He said! “The biggest mistake I ever made in my life was when I lost my head and quit Stern & Co. They had given me a start and I was making good money, but success snapped the band in my hat and I thought they couldn't get’along without me. And that was twenty years ago.” ‘The man’s remarks carry @ lesson for millions, but it isn't Ukely that more than a few will benefit by them. ‘The firm of Jos. W. Stern & Co. has passed into oblivion. In the ; future it will be known as the E. B. Marks Music Co. And any one who has had. dealings with Mr. Marks takes it as a foregone conclusion that he will be just as successful as ever. ~ ‘Twenty-seven years is a long time to be in business—unusually long for @ popular song publisher. And you can’t stay in the song game that . Jong and still be a leading publisher unless you've treated your fellow- men half way decent. : E. B. Marks has never hired @ brass band to advertise what he in- tended to do, and yet he has been one of the hardest workers among the publishers—past and present—to bring the music business on a level ‘with other industries. He has always been ready and willing to jump in ané help any movement that would better the business, forgetting for the time whether he would derive any immediate benefit from it. For twenty-seven years he-has always been willing to see any one, he has paid his bills promptly, he has paid his royalty thirty days—not sixty or six months—after they were due, and often went out of his way 3 he has always lived up to his word—made good on every- es the good will of all’connected with the show song worlds. rs, Jimmy King, Viclet Owens, Marion ‘Presman, Miss Silman end Elste Federeaur (Nb Jetta).

THE PRODUCING MANAGERS’ ASSOCIATION Offers i Tate I READ with amazement the com- ‘munication of Harry Mountford in Tast week’s Billboard which contains 2 printed advertisement of a theater inviting its patrons to stay after the show and watch the actors eat and make monkeys of themselves. Some ‘of Mr. Mountford’s statements in the past have seemed incredible to me and were it not for the printed copy of the advertisement I would not have ‘believed his latest one. Do such in- comprehensible things happen in the ‘world of the theater often, or is this an isolated instance? I must ask Al- fred Jingle.

From now on “Never darken my door again” is in the same class with “My unborn child” with me. ‘THE Methodists are out with a screech about the caricatures put on the stage and labeled clergymen. They declare that hereafter non-Conform- ist parsons must have. equal rights with Catholic. priests, Jewish rabbis and Christian Science healers in the drama. I haven't much sympathy for the Methodists in view of their atti- tude toward the playhouse, which got its. deadliest stab at the hands of Luther ® Co., Inc..during the Ref- ormation. But I talked to the sen- timental- cynic about it last Sunday night. “Their attitude is much the same as that of the Puritans who ob- jected to bear baiting, not’ because it ‘gave the bear pain, but because it gave the spectators pleasure,” said he, taking off his coat and climbing into the pulpit....“However, the issue is between the Actors’ Equity and the ‘Methodist House of Bishops.

It is as a play, ‘however, that “Miss Lulu Bett” is be- ing given, and by its merits as of drama it must be.judged. ‘There is no drama in it. It is merely a string of episodes with a casual element of ex- cltement in them ‘to give ‘tonic to the whole.

The tragedy in the life of the family drudge thru her hasty marriage is clearly enough suggested, but it is not hammered out into the audience. There are two kinds of quiet, one that indicates raging femotion restrained 4nd the other, the hookworm variety. “Miss Lulu Bett,” as a. play, ts de~ adedly hookwormy. But it is played by a cast that is the most completely edequate I have seen in New-York this season, -For a long time a lot of people knew that Carroll McComas had fine stuff im her, but ike many another girl of ‘the theater her chance failed to come around. Chance -has a lot to do with’ success on the stage no matter what anyone may say, chance and a lot of other things. “Miss McComas’ oppor- tunity arrived and she has made good ‘with a smash.

If any real actor could give such an exhibition of ‘in- paint with whicli she distorts concealed under a bodily car- riage that is so awkward it is almost burlesque, there is af understanding of what the character means. You writhe under her inability to get out what is obviously struggling inside her for. expression, and you squirm’ when it stays inside her. She knows what she should do and can not do it. It is ex- actly like watching a mute try to speak, a terrible sensation for the mute and for the other person. One thing she has in her range of actualities.

Caleb's conduct is immactlate, nor that the very promi- nence given the episode by crew and ‘villagers is an indication that he is as different as she thought. She remains deaf to the arguments of her mother, her father, her brother, Caleb's sister and her sweetheart, who is the village squire of dames. They all chant, one after the other: “He is only a man. They're all Uke that” ‘The marriage is broken off, and Caleb leaves, saying he'll wait thirty years for her to change her mind. . ‘The years slip by and Emma is left alone. Back to the village comes Benny Rogers, the rotten son of his rotten father, who was the village squire of dames. He is a typical “regular army bum,” blackguard of the completest sort, @ cheat, a Har and all the rest of it. Emma, in her old maidenly isola- tion, becomes his prey. He borrows money from her. She paints her face, puts on ‘high-heeled shoes, buys & phonograph and jazz ‘records, and makes an ass of herself generally. Fi- nally Benny's’ mother tells him he has run his rope,,that she is going to drive him out of the house and tell Caleb of what he has been doing to Emma. True to type, Benny determines to get even with everyone involved in the collapse of bis schemes. He coaxes Emma into agreeing to marry him, and makes her tell Caleb when he returns. The heart- sickened Captain leaves in a fury of anger, contempt, disillusionment and the knowledge he has spent the best, years of his life waiting for a woman that is not worth it. Then Benny breaks the news to Emma, with all the delicacy of Babe Ruth clouting a base- ball, that he was only “kiddin’ an.olé hen like her,” and leaves her an instant, only. to return to break the news that Caleb has hanged himself, Her world has gone to pieces, and, with the screech mentioned earlier in this re- view, Emma, goes out to follow Caleb's, example. A savage, true, brutal story, told without faltering, with speed, cul- mination and climax. The pity of it is: that it had to be squandered on Mac- Dougal’s Greenwich Village, and that ‘there is no one in the cast to do it real Play praised, but held not 20 remark- able as the author's “Beyond the Hori- zon.” . aS ‘MAX R.

For instance, as The Biliboard’s representative at Boston points out, at the Orpheum Theater, that city, a two-act, men, straight and Jew, were going along fine at the supper show when the Jew drew the attention Of the straight to a lady who had come down the aisle to the first row looking for a seat. Finding no seat, she started to walk back, with the Jew saying: “She has a seat, but can not find a place to put it” “Strange or not,” says The Billboard representative, “there was not a ripple ot laughter from the audience; in fact, it killed the rest of the act. These are two clever boys, but they made 2 mistake in pulling that stuff at the Orpheum. It may have gone over in many houses, but it was all out of place there. Would he have ‘pulled" it Monday morning, when the mana- ger was looking the show over? No, I don't think he would, so why should he take advantage of the fact that the manager was out to supper and the thought that anything would go for the supper show? For the offending one’s information I would like to state that there is a large per- centage of stockholders of that theater in the audience at every per- formance who watch the bills pretty closely, and when some act ‘pulls’ that kind of stuff the manager receives complaints from all directions. I amssending this in to The Billboard in the hope that a little publicity on the matter may help to keep the bills clean.” hone).

I visited some of the theaters in Jamestcwn today and found that the pictures shown were utterly filthy and disgusting. . They depicted nothing ‘but scenes of blood and lust, and were loathesome and filthy in the ex- treme. “I am sure that the boys and girls of Jamestown who went to see any of the pictures I saw would not get the impression that it is a loathe- ‘some thing to steal and rob, but would rather get the impression that the man who did the stealing and robbing was not such a bad fellow after all"—L.

Chester- ton in this country to give a series of lectures is a dramatic event. G. K. C. is a spectacular, almost a circus, Sgure of six feet, three inches length and three or more tape measures round about. He has a rebellious mustache, a shock of wild hair on a big head full of genius, a wit that has slashed G. Bernard Shaw, no mean adversary, into ribbons of silence times without number: a fine, untrammeled spirit, and the moral courage of a medieval school man. He carries a big stick in his hand and a bigger one in hie ink pot. He had to sit down when he landed and let his wife stand so that the ship news reporters could get him im the picture. “I say I don’t like this arrangement,” he protested; “peo- ple will think Iam aGerman.” He ts quoted as saying he doesn’t know much about the decadence of the drama in England, on which subject Henry Arthur Jones raves when he is not barking at H. G. Wells’ articles on Soviet Russia. The Theater Guild will be interested to know that he does not think anything that G. Bernard Shaw says about England or the Eng- sh could do any harm as Shaw had been out of touch with events for the last ten years. IT may not be amiss to recall that G. K. C. wrote a play, “Magic.” He does not talk much about it, tho it is said to be not bad for an expert in paradox like himself. That is not an ‘unusal reticence. George Jean Nathan is not ballyhooing over his “The Eternal Question.” which enjoyed a run of one consecutive dress rehearsal at a playhouse not a million miles from Broadway a few years back. BUT to return to Chesterton. Read this extraordinary confessio: Asked about his visit to this coun- try the English writer said there was very little he could say now, but he would have more when he was thru. “And this ts not because I have so few ideas—I have enough of those—but T fancy they are all quite wrong. It seemed to me it would have been too absurd never to have come to America, if only for a day. I have come to see this country and to falk, to give in- adequate after-dinner speeches known as lectures. I do not know what I shall say until the time comes. I am a journalist and so am vastly ig- norant of many things, but because I am a journalist I write and talk about them all” DID ever so frank a visitor come to eur shores? ‘Welcome, thrice wel- comet ‘NEXT to the quality of trustworthi- ness the quality I admire most in people is pluck. That is the reason I have respect for Grace La Rue. I don’t know her, but I know something of her theatrical history. A better example of spirited determination to improve the quality and kind of one’ work is hardly to be found among peo- ple of the stage. All sorts of things contribute to prominence in the con- stricted world of the theater—family prestige, financial Influence, managerial Patronage and an assortment of other details which need not be gone into. ‘They are not the only things which § responsible for success, but they have @ potent influence. Miss La Rue hag had none of these things. What she has gained has been the result of dogged, unflinching work and an in- domitable courage. -I cam remember OFF. THE RECORD By Patterson James seeing her a long time ago a gangling young woman with no great personal beauty and no special quality of voice doing a vaudeville act in which there was a herd of pickaninnies. The turn was a lot of noise, considerable dan- cing and plenty of action on the part of the “picks.” It was all very crude and trying. Chaperoning a bunch of “picks” around the vaudeville circuit is no easy Job. Certainly it was not a field calculated to stimulate ambition or develop artistry. Miss La Rue did not stay in the varieties. She wanted to do something better. She wanted to make something of her voice. Her associates in musical comedy into which she had gone laughed derisive- ly. “You'll never make it,” they said. ‘The ice water pitcher is an omni- Present experience in the theatrical ‘business, and there is usually a cynical hand ready to dash its contents over aspirations. Miss La Rue difn't re- spond to the cold water cure. She dis- appeared in Europe for a time, she studied, she took instruction and she worked like the drudge she plays in the first act of “Dear Me.”" Presently she returned to the concert stage at Aeolian Hall a finished singer ‘with a fine voice, who demanded and got a respectful hearing. A consid- erable leap from pickaninnies' and the vaudeville stage to the concert plat- form. Her trained voice got her a new and more prominent place in the musical show. She became a headliner in the yaudeville where years before she had been a number two act and hardly regarded as an important feature of the program. The critics and the managers agreed that she had become an accomplished singer. but she could not act. She never would be able to act they said. Mies ‘La Rue said nothing, but she made up her mind she would tetome an actress. It ‘meant more hard work, more discour- agement, more slavery, but she had the same invincible determination to do what she had set out to do. It was only by the merest chance tnat her present play got produced at all. None of the managers could see her in the part. But one man, while being shaved in a barber chair, listened and the play was put on. It ran the greater part of last season in Chicago. Now Miss La Rue is on Broadway. She is not yet a great actress. She still retains much of the crudeness of her past theatrical environment. But she is getting on. She“works as no one on the stage works except Fred Stone and Harland Dixon. If hard study, willingness to learn and to be taught and grit will do it Grace La ‘Rue is going to mount steadily in the scale of prominence and consideration and achievement. It must have been a bitter struggle for her. Many an- other woman, or man for that mat- ter, would long ago have been content with prosperous mediocrity. Only a being who has the genuine artistic impulse could have done what she has already accomplished. She de- serves every bit of success she can have because she has worked and fought and endured for it. May it grow steadily greater and may her struggle be an inspiration and a source of encouragement to other girls of tal- ent whose future fs still in the mak- ing. I admire pluck. My hat is off to Miss La Rue. May she live long and prosper! ‘THE idea ought to be smashed that because a play is “realistic” it gives authors the right to use Janguage ts which offends not only those who are willing to put up with almost anything for the sake of art but also those who without being mock modest: believe in a certain amount of artistic restraint. It is a shame for a man of such un- qualified talent as Eugene O'Neill to ‘write jnto the mouth of his characters in “Diffrent” phrases that not only create a feeling of nausea in those who have to listen to them, but seri- ously impair the value of the play itself, Granted the “regular army” bum, of which Benny is the faithful example, uses the expression “For Christ's sake” every other minute. ‘That is no excuse for permitting him to do so on the stage. There are fifty phrases which fall from the profes- sional soldiers mouth filthier than the one quoted. They are more common, Picturesque and vivid than that, but no one would consider them legiti- mate’ means of character drawing. Ordinary functioning of the human body is certainly “true to life” They are “realistic” with a capital R, but the most rabid realist would not use them even on the ground that art to be art must be true to life. If it is necessary to reproduce all the opera- tions and expressions in everyday ex- istence in order to be realistically artistic let us have them all, not a selected few. The sooner Mr. O'Neill ‘learns that it is unnecessary to repeat or exhibit everything that happens or is said in life the quicker his work will have a wider appeal and more general approbation. Vulgarity is not neces- sarily realisin nor is it ever art. To quote the familiar proverb, “A spade is a spade, but there is no need to call it a blankety-blank shovel.” Unbathed Greenwich Village will accept Benny's oath but no one else will I have my doubts whether Mr. ‘O'Neill would endure it in his own home. DEAR MR. JAMES: I notice in your columns this week you say some of my statements in the Past have seemed impossible and in- credible to you. May I ask why? Is it because you, like most critics, are from. the outside looking in and not of the inside? I have never printed one-quarter of the things I know. No paper would publish them. Broadway is the home of the most ‘unbelievable things, and the theatrical and vaudeville business is the house and abiding place of impossible yet true, incredible but veracious stories which out-Munchausen Baron Mun- chausen. Many of the facts in the theatrical business if I did not know myself I should certainly believe to be in- credible. Some of them which per- haps you do not know are “The Story of the Manager, the Lady Star and the White Bear Skin Rug,’ “The Stealing of a Cage of Lions,” “The Abduction of a Dwarf.” Did you ever hear of these stories? Did you ever hear the story of two men in the hotel room waiting for the other man to come to the door and say “Yes” or “No” and so end an actors’ strike? If I ever meet you I might tell them to you, but you could not print them. ‘Did you ever hear of anything more incredible than myself writing in the columns of The Billboard? And yet that’s true. Did you ever hear of the lamb that Dit: Henry Irving? I suppose you will say all these are incredible and yet each one of them is true. Perhaps Alfred Jingle, Jr. who has apparently come to life again in your excellent columns from the pages of Dickens, might inform you. ‘Oh! By the by! Do you know Dick- ens makes one of his characters cay that the way to make money is to write a book about America, slam- ming, knocking and criticising Ameri- cans? You will find that quotation very closely connected with the proto- type anf father of Alfred Jingle, Jr. Tam - ‘Yours very faithrully, HARRY MOUNTFORD. “THE Lamb That Bit Sir Henry Irving” intrigues my interest. If Mr. Mountford can prove that, by other authority than his own, I will agree to withdraw the expression “improba- ble” or “incredible” and not be a doubting Thomas in the future, where his writings are concerned. ‘In the meantime while the carnivorous lamb fs being produced I don't lke the closing sentence in his letter. Is it a nasty slap at me, I wonder? I won- ler! ANOTHER letter most un-Mount- fordian in its language: “Where do you get that ‘Commo- dore Pants Company’ stuff in the cast of ‘Macbeth?

It is presumed to be English and is spoken by actors ‘who apparently do not care whether they are heard clearly or not. Such elocution is a downright insult to peo- ple who pay to see a show. There is No excuse for it at all. The first thing an actor and actress should know, learn, or have hammered into them, is to speak so as to be heard and un- derstood. If they cannot do that they have no business being on the stage at all. Messrs. Keightley and. Waring are too experienced players to talk a3 if each had a hot potato in his mouth.

I have always wondered, just what it was which dis- tinguished real first famfly Bridge- porters from all other original Wooden Natmegs of the State. I found out thru Dudley Quai, the young stage Johnny in “Dear Me.” who hails from the home of Simon Lake and Wheeler and Wilson. According to Dudley, who chased the “Dear Me” troupe from Stamford to ‘New. Haven to Hartford and other well- known show “dog towns” because he was in love with the leading lady, no Bridgeport society gent ever takes con- densed milk in his tea. It simply is not done—in Bridgeport. The Bridgeport social manual of arms, interpreted by Dudley Quail, may permit you to soften the bite of your tes with a squirt of Chip's Celebrated -Cheshire Cider Brandy or a dash of Potassium Cyanide or a moth ball or two, but never, never, never with the fruit of the canned cow. ‘That has nothing to do with the play?

In spite of his playing of one or two comedy scenes with skill, there is nothing conspicuously above mediocrity in-his’ work. His vaselined chair is unforgivable. He might at least have waited until the last act to smear it on. Only a millionaire could afford vaseline hair tonie at the present price of gasoline. A failure would not have the price of a bottle. ‘That is the reason the audiqnce sus- pects he is not what he seems to be on the jump.

SAM H. HARRIS Offers MRS. FISKE . In a Comedy “WAKE UP, JONATHAN” By Hatcher. Hughes and Elmer L. Rico. ‘Direction of Harrison Grey Fiske : ‘THE CAST: Charles Dalton, Mrs..Fiske, Helen Holt, Frank Hearn, Lois Bartlett, Nadia Gary, Donald Cameron, . Fleming ‘Ward, Howard Lang, Freddie Good- row, Edith Fitzgerald. “I et enough today to choke a horse,” said a fat woman in a thick fur coat as she walked down the isle before the curtain rose on “Wake Up, Jonathan,” at the Henry Miller Theater. The lady must have been warned beforehand of comtesses up and down creation. ‘Then comes back Christmas Eve expecting to be greeted by a connubial brass band, with his wife serving as drum major. His disillusionment and regeneration makes the play. Hatcher Hughes and Elmer Rice, formerly Reizenstein, have told the story like a vaudeville talking act, with the exception that instead of @ straight man and a comedian, all the members of the cast, and especially Charles Dalton, serve as feeders for Mrs. Fiske, as the wife and mother. The dialog is @ series of cross-fire- gags, with Mra. Fiske shrugging and wiggling her shoulders in the: best Fiskean manner to put the point over and getting all the laughs. The.tempo of the piece when Fiske and Dalton’ talking act (minus the rolled up newspaper), get into the Hughes-Reizenstein routine, is that of. @ rip-snorting farce comedy. Marion Blake is presumed to be a de- voted mother. Her ‘children are the ‘one consolation of her life after she and Jonathan have decided to go their sep- arate ways. Mrs. Fiske is as maternal as an incubator. There is not a spark of warmth tn her entire attitude toward. the children.- When she speaks to them she addresses them as if they were a public. meeting. When she permits herself: to touch. them,-it is with the aloofness of a professional uplifter em- bracing @ dirty, smelly slum waif. Her entire performance is frozen stiff, and premeditatedly stiff, too. It is no good saying that the character itself is to blame. Itis not. Marion Blake affords a great chance to an actress who, can display 2 sense of motherliness in her attitude. Mrs. Fiske’s hard bitten, almost shrewish comedy traits can not be woven suc- cessfully into the woman the authors have written. Her Marion Blake barges like a female bishop on the war path. ‘The marvel is that any man, even a corsair of high finance (who, by the by, offers his children oodles of money if they will not hang up their stockings Christmas Eve and {f they will abandon ‘the Santa Claus heresy) ever wanted to make up with such a woman as Mrs. Fiske makes his wife. I am sure any old kind of princess or com- tesse, even Chinese or Choctaw, would. have been @ more amiable compaaion. All this fs rank heresy, of course. We have, lke all snobs, set up @ high Olympus of the theater and picked out our favorites for election to jobs of the gods and goddesses. However, what- ever they act, it is all right. Mrs. be she is, but her Marion Blake cer- tainly fs not. . Charles Dalton is the husband who ‘would rather make a hundred million dollars than listen to his wife talk, talk, talk, His performance is not distin- guished by subtlety, but he is at least human, and he makes a great feeder completely does Mrs. laughs that the which Jonathan g Be a ‘Marion all these “yers,” even tho passed him up for Jonathan whet ‘were both candidates for her hand.

But my argument was that these very slip-ups show what is going on in the Managers’ minds and the following advertisement in an Indianapolis paper shows that the Austin Manager is not alone in his opinion of Actors. This advertisement from The Indianapolis Sun- day Star is. twelve inches wide, that is, five and one-half columns wide, and eleven inches deep. It says: ACTORS’ TRYOUTS—BROADWAY THEATRE 10-to 15 Acts on the Opening Show Every Monday NOTICE—On our opening show every Monday we will have from 10 to 15 acts from which we will select our regular week’s program. Come early. You be the judge, help us select. Applaud acts you like.. Performance at 2 p. m. Is this enough to prove to Actors what Mana- gers think of them? They are just cattle brought for the inspection of the multitude, or, like the gladiators in the Roman Coliseum, depend upon the fickle fancy of the crowd for the week’s engagement, after having paid their own fares and expenses to Indianapolis. < . If another example is wanted it is found in cir- culars distributed in Nashville, Tenn., in a column statementin a paper known as‘‘Loew’s Weekly” (the rival of Mr. Albee’s ‘‘Vaudeville News’’), which is described on its first pageas “Issued Weekly Without ° Charge to Patrons of the Loew Chain of Theatres.” In this, and in advertisements in the Nashville papers, we find that at Loew’s Vendome, for the period of from January 10 to 31, the public is in- vited to come ’round behind the stage and to see ~ “the artists’ dressing rooms’? and “THE ARTISTS MAKING A QUICK CHANGE OF - THEIR COSTUMES.” ee For fear the insinuation put in might be missed by the Nashville young men, Loew’s Weekly says: . “Next comes the visit to the artists’ dressing rooms, NEXT? AND WE WON'T TELL YOU WHAT YOU WILL SEE THERE.” And to be sure that one should get what this means the article in ‘““Loew’s Weekly” says: “YOU WILL SEE SIGHTS THAT WILL HOLD YOU SPELLBOUND.” Every Vaudeville Actor and Actress knows what making quick changes means. For the pur- poses of making changes the less worn underneath the better. And this invitation to the town boys of Nasliville to come ‘round and see the women make their quick changes, and the further insinua- tion that “we won’t tell you what you will see there,’”’ is about as low and oer as advertise- ments can go. Can there be anything more disgusting, more degradirig, more obscene, more lowering than such an invitation as is contained in this advertisement? And the suggestion, “WE WON’T TELL YOU WHAT YOU WILL SEE THERE.” Actors and Actresses are compelled to rehearse in public on a Monday morning. Actors and Actresses are compelled to perform on a Monday afternoon, their engagement subject to the applause of the Indianapolis Monday after- noon audience. Actors and Actresses have been compelled to eat in publicand make monkeys of themselves, AND NOW THE WOMEN AND GIRLS OF THE PROFESSION ARE EXPOSED IN THEIR DRESSING ROOMS FOR THE APPROVAL OF VAUDEVILLE PATRONS. WHAT NEXT? Is-this proof that Austin, Texas, was not an Isolated instance? Is this proof of the way Managers: regard actors? ‘ IS THIS PROOF OF THE PRESENT CON- DITIONS IN VAUDEVILLE? 18- THIS PROOF OF MY STATEMENTS? I THINK SO, - BUT WHOSE FAULT IS IT? WHO SUB- MITS TO IT, MANAGERS OR ACTORS? THE ANSWER IS WITH YOU. 1440 Broadway, New York City.

Clean up the ministry and then the church members, and then ap- peal in a kind but forcible way to the theatrical people to clean up. the rotten things Within their walls, and I am sure, as my experience has taught me, Gur theatrical people will co-operate (ith us in this ‘clean-up? None of us js perfect, and no man or woman was ‘ever made as near perfect as possible by blasting theaters or anything else ‘as Dr. Boynton and Evangelist Dow have done in their sermons. As a min- ister of the Gospel I know it is neces- sary to come down ‘mighty hard on some of the sins of the present day, but sorely there a better way to overcome the sins and rottenness of today than the method used by. the two preachers gn question. If this is the only ‘way, then I fail to see the meaning of Christ's teachings when he advises the ers to ‘correct’ the faults tna Zins in men and women. I fail to fina 4 anything in the Scriptures advising preachers to blast and damn everything outside thelr own walls. My advice is, use @ little judgment, @ little more common sense“ and“ kindness, and preach a full, Gospel, and we'll reach all people and upset all rottenness. “Yours for good, clean, healthy sports and amusements and a true Christian Nation.” NEW PLAYS {Continued from page 30) his trade-mark and bis curse, His monotonous voice and his complete in- ability to simulate vigor of any kind is very trying, even if he does not offend in the more common and obvious faults of other actors.

There is none of the Himalayan mountain tiger crawling under the veneer of a course in esthetics at Cambridge. ‘There is noth- ing Orlental in his characterization. ‘The Rajah is just George Arliss with a turban on, It is not to be understood that he gives a bad performance. Far from it. Recognizing his lmitations and considering the insurmountable ob- stacle of playing a character to which he can bring nothing but a cold, pol- ished technique, his Rajah Js excellent. It is not the things he does that are disappointing, but the ocean of possi- bilities the role offers for an ambitious, adventurous stage navigator. he leaves untried. ‘The valet of Ivan Simpson is flawless, Cyril Keightley is an occa- sionally articulate scientist, and Her- bert Waring is an always inarticu- late husband of Olive Wyndham “Lucilla.” Migs Wyndham is a pretty girl, with affectations of speech which are maddening to me. I can not abide these actresses who play the roles of gentlewomen and who speak as no_real gentlewoman ever spoke anywhere, ex- cept in the soclety drama.
