THEATER 


NEW YORK 





(Reviewed Monday Matinee, December 27) K 


Heavy snowfall last night. with drizzling rain this morning, made the day 
anything but inviting for theater patronage. Two box-office lines, however, 
were employed to take care of the customers, who bought ticRets in sufficient 
number to take.up all the box seats and to finally result in possibly the largest 
“standing audience” that has favored this house in many, many days. All 
‘were in by the end of ‘the fourth act, and they remained giued to thelr positions 
and seats until the final curtain a few minutes before'the five bell deadline. 
‘This phenomenal feat of showmanship. can be attributed. to-Joe “Cook, who 
doubled with Alexander Brothers and Evelyn in their act, which closed the 
show. The overture, “The Buffalo News,” by Reeves,’ played ‘by the house 
musical school, under the direction of ever ready and hardworking Frederick 
F. Daab, got off on time. Kinograms to “Underneath the Palms,” by. Olman 
‘and Golden, failed to show in its position and was not included in the program 
‘as & finale, as was expected. Grace Fisher was listed in the early billing to 
‘appear in the Harry Carroll act, but did not, being replaced by ‘Fern Rogers, 
‘who got @ most pleasing reception and applause at the Minish of the offering. 
‘Vaudeville may come and vaudeville may go, but to the novelty acts went the 
task of opening and closing and holding down third place: No stage waits to 
mar the oocasion, and it was generally voted one of the’ fastest and greatest 
‘applause and laugh-getting performances seen at this house in. moons, possibly 
due to the holiday.crowd present and general merit of the entire collection of 


‘Violations Of the etiquet of: public rostrum deportnient and the lack of 
knowing the class house in which they showed can be credited to two of tho 
acts, and they should be severely censured for their near insult to intelli- 
gent American ladies and gentlemen. R .

having appeated here at regular intervals for many seasons. 5 . 
2:08—Howard and Craddock; two colored men of light and, heavy shade, 
took “in one.” They open with a song off stage. ‘The singer, wheeling the

clever novelty dancer. If they would confine their work to manly displays ‘in 
evening attire they no doubt could have been called upon. for an early re- 
turn date here. Leaving it to the audience to decide the merit of: perform- 
ers in competition for applause has long since been listed in modern vaude- 
ville a8 “done, but not generally accepted as of the day artistry.”

atdlence.and current events, making up his verse.by cues taken from thi

Usted as undoubtedly so. By way of criticism. it is evident he lacks the faculty 
of knowing the'“fitness of things” or he, would not link a dead gangster with a

gain;;To make a gangster’a hero is vile in its insult to modern society. The!

‘would the “Star-Spangled’ Banner,” is excruciatingly nauseating to the mental 
palate of intelligent loyal Americans. Take this stuff off the stage, Mr. Palace 
Booker. Bob Hall 1s too clever @ chap to be allowed to overstep the bounds in 
offense. f 
‘2:55—Carleton Hoagland presented Harry Carroll and his “Varieties of 1920,” 
‘with some changes in cast, business and the most perfectly tuned and speediest,

Mason, Peggy Bates, Marjorie Clements, Mary Gardner and Marjorie Shel- 
don. ‘This was a talk-fest with special setting, a prolog and a song finish. A 
man with seven wives, one for each day in the week, due to the prohibition

his one-man vaudeville show, in one and two, as.the “extra added attraction,” 
and he was that by reason of his comedy talents, versatility as a juggler, singer, 
musician, magiclan, ventriloquist and dancer. ‘This boy has more originality 
than some half-dozen’ others who would essay the art'of entertaining. _ Scored 
a solld legitimate vaudeville hit of large proportions as usual. He then jumped 
in and clowned the act! following by walking a globe, juggling, pantomime,

Churches Assail. Open Shop Policy 


Call It an Attempt by. Employers To Crush Organized Labor 











re 
a 














Labeling the open shop movement as an.attempt to crush organized 
labor, the Commission on Church and Social ‘Service of the. Council of 
the Churches of Christ in America last week issued a statement voicing 
“the representative Protestant view of the open shop drive,” which it 
declares is “in thoro accord with the recent utterances of the National 
Catholic Welfare Counc! 

“The relations between employers. and workers thruout the United 
States,” says the Commission, “are seriously affected at this moment by 
a campaign which is being cordycted for the open shop policy—the so. 
called American plan of employment. These terms are now being fre- 
quently uused to designate establishments ‘that are definitely anti-union. 
Obviously, a shop of this kind is not an open shop, but a closed shop— 
closed’against members of labor tnlons. 

“We feel impelled to call. public attention to the fact that a-very wide- 
spread impression exists that the present open shop campaign is inspired 
in many quarters by this antagonism to union Jabor. Many disinter- 
ested persons are convinced that an attempt is being made to destroy 
the organized labor movement. Any such attempt’ must be viewed with 
apprehension by fair-minded people. When, for example, en applicant 
for work is compelled to sign & contract pledsing himself against: af 
dion With @: omits, or ‘when a, walon’ man'te refused emaployeaect ot dia- 
charged, merely on the ground of union membership, the ‘employer is: 
‘using coereive methods and is violating the fundamental principle of an’ 
open shop. Such action is as unfair and, inimical to economic: freedom 
and to the interest of society ax is corresponding coercion exercised by 
labor bodies in behalf of the closed shop.” 

‘The Council of the Churches of Christ in America is made up of 
thirty-one evangelical bodies. Its work: is entirely om :soclal and eco- 
nomic Lines and is in no way doctrinal. |The Rev, Dr. Henry  Churchili 
King, president of Oberlin College, is head of the organization—The .

“The American Plan,” is in reality a shop “open” only to nonunion

Dut one concert, which will take place February

‘mann, world-famous pianist, for two recitals, 
one on February 27 and the second oa March 6. 

Edward Morris, American pianist, is to give 
a recital in New York City’ the afternoon. of 
January 13. Consistent with bis policy, this 
‘young artist includes in his advertising notifice- 
tion that no parses are issued to bis recitals. 
‘Too much commendation capnot be given Mr. 
‘Morris for his ‘stand in this respect, and were 
other artiste to follow his example much godt 
would result. Artists should be willing to have 
thelr ability draw the aullences instead of te 
muing 2 number of passes, and thereby obtaining 
a large audience. Merit alone sbould be the 
test. Mr. Morris bas proven beyond all doubt 
that a real artist can win success without 
obtalning favor thru distributing passes, for to- 
day be is recognized as one of this country's 
best pianists,

‘The Billboard 


During the early part of spring much 
rain was encountered by outdoor shows 
in the South, and, as a consequence, the 
receipts dwindled, but the early sum- 
mer provided favorable weather, af- 
fording the shows an opportunity to 
recuperate their losses. Then came 
another wet spell (but short), with its 
consequent crimp in business, but the 
{airs in most cases brought the carnival 
organizations to a successful finish. 
Circuses, as a general rule, had a good 
season, and the same goes for other 
tent attractions. But with every kind 
of traveling attraction the net profits 
were presumably much less than in 
1919, caused by increased railroad rates 
among other things. The attendance 
at fairs, generally speaking, and, judg- 
ing by reports-reaching us,-was never 
better than in 1920. 





ington about making the amusement 
tax 20 per cent. 

“The increased railroad rates amount 
toa whole lot also, so I don't know how 
a show is going to start to cut prices 
and get back to normal, with every- 
thing that you use.in the show: busi- 
ness going up.” z 

The period of depression from ap- 
pearances, however, will not be -pro- 
tracted, particularly so in the amuse- 
ment line. ‘There are indications that 
the business situation is slightly im- 
-proved alreddy. There is apparently 
no desire on the part of capital to close 
down business, and the worker has evi- 
dently little thought of forcing a situa- 
tion whereby a closing down is neces- 
sary. It begins to look as if there 
would be a continuation of production, 
even tho it may be on greatly curtailed

tolerance too far to dress the Sootbiayer up like Torquemade hurrying to keep & be 
lated appointment at a auto-defe and to farther color the role by underdressing the 
character in a set of port wine hued tights and shoes. Bat when imperial Caesar is 
warned by ‘bis wife, Mrs. Calpurata Caesar, not to go to the Forum that day it is hardly 
to be expected that Joline during the scene will. support his fragile footsteps with = 
Diackthorn sbilisiagh. ‘These are only a few of the delightful ‘surprises the Kellerd 
version offers, but they are plenty. Isabel Merson was Mrs, Portia Brutus and read 
AntelligentIs and sonorously. Francis Merlin was the Soothsayer in the Dominican habit. 
He also knew bis lines, which few'ot the other members of the cast did. Mr. Kellerd, 
ae Antony, orated orer the dead body of Caesar to a most mobly mobi and read the lines 
faithfolly. William Owen displayed a magnifcently untrustworthy memory as Brotus, 
‘but James Foley, as the Second Citizen, was nobly Boman, I did not care for the 
First, Third of Fourth citizens, but Mr. Foley held up his end of the funeral services 
Mike a man. Not even Torquemads, nor the star’s resemblance to Charles F. Semon, 
“The Narrow Felier,”" nor Cacear’s blackthorn cudgel could completely ruin the play. 
Ie has outlived all possible attacks on ite greatness, Dut the shillalagh may do for it in 
the end.—PATTERSON JAMES. 2 -

is pretty and can sing. There is a lot of antediluvian stage management 
in the piece, particularly the planting of-the chorus girl in the backless 
green dress'on the piano stool almost in the footlights where her bare 
Back looks like a billboard. The girl is not to blame. She is obviously 
self-conscious, and a dress like that is so unlovely, so provincial-and so 
hopelessly tenderloiny. But it is in key with the book of “Lady Billy.”—

‘Speech by Charles McMahon 








In an effort to force the Blue Law fight into 
tthe open, the Motion Picture Theatrical Asso- 
lation of the. World, the most formidable 
opponent that has yet appeared against the 
‘Lord's Day Alliance, last week announced & 
program of belligerent activity. 

18 the purpose for which the M. P, T, Asso 
elation of the World is functiontog is sol 
precure wholesome moving pletures for the pub 
Ue every day in the week, its fight for Sunday 
movies is being supported by prominent men 
and women, and elvie and social 6rganizations 
‘thruout the country. It will systematically 








turn its Seld directors and field workers properly 
Present this Sunday Blue Law agitation and 
‘secure the signed verdict of organizations and 
fndividoals throout- the entire country te 
definitely ascertain if the people wish to be 
deprived of wholesome amusement on Sunday. 





‘Yawger, Judge Wadbams, of the Court of

Ta a telegram from Albany, Governor Smith 





alga to suppress tho agital 
BMbiting of wholesome amusement oa 

“ am hearily opposed to any legislation th 
will deprive the public of wholesome enter 
tainment op Sunday. Tt fe very lopleal that 
the M. P. 'P. Association should champion the 
cause of the people in this respect, am they 
‘organized to secore freedom from unjust or 
unlawfsl exactions and regulations, In this 
{fight I sincerely endorse them.” 

‘Mra, Joha Francis Yawser, president of thé 
Woman's Republican Association of New Yorkt 

“Fer five years I have been opposing any 
egislative measures tending to interfere with 
‘wholesome entertainment for the people on Son 
day, and I am entirely in sympathy with the 
stand the AL P. T, Association of the World 
fs takiog against the Bine Law Campaten Com- 
mittee. My bellef is that the prisons wil have 
many extra inmates if these laws pars. San- 
ay afternoon is a dangerous time for the public 
to be absolutely without wholesome enter- 
tatnment that the moving pictures afford. In- 
stead of going to tootioa picture houses to be 
entertained, educated, they will congregate tm

groups and family partice and Sights and kill- 
Jugs and rlots will be thie tnevitable result. For 
ur own safety and preservation of harmony it 





On Thorsday afternoon, December 16, a mane 
meeting presided oer by J. A. Quinn, president 
of the M. P. T. Association, was bold at the 
‘Apollo Theater on 42nd street. at which 
Der of prominent men and women voleed thelr 

+ protests against depriving the public of whol~ 
‘ome amusement on Sunday and publicly en- 
dorsed the fight the M. P. T. Assoclation of 
the World has inaugurated. 





‘Text of speech by Charles A. MeMabon, chat 
man of the Motion Picture Bureau of the 
©. W. ©. at Washington. Mr. MfeMahon spoke, 
at the recent Anti-Blue Law meeting at the 
Apollo Theater, New York City: 

“Speaking for the X. ©. W. 0. I welcome 
‘the opportunity on bebalf of the N.C. W. C. 
which bas Decome the permanent organization, 
replacing the National Catholic War Council 
that eperated with the other welfare organtza- 
tions durins the war. and fo speak the mind 
and the voise of the organization which offctally 
freaks in torn on behalf of anproximately 20,- 
0¢0.000 of the ropalation of this country 

‘We must reengnize that the motion picture 
bas come to stay. that it 1s perhaps the most 
powerful influence that exists today in this oF 
‘any ather country, reaching, as bas been authori- 
tatively stated, twenty miliions of people daily. 
Cosidering this fact I wish to read {nto the 




















record of this meeting the exact mind of the 
N. O. W. ©. as it affects this proposed ‘legisla- 
tion “for Blue Sunday. 

‘I am gled. to bave an opportunity of atat- 
ing here publicly that we have'found inthe M. 
P. T. Association of the World, of which J. A. 
Quinn is president, an-organtzation which is 
‘the -only practical’ solution of realizing in a 
practical way the-aims which we sesk, but 
the very fact there {s a pronounced -agitation 
today in favor of the Puritan Sabbath should 
sere as a warning to the motion picture Ine

could .and.wooid suppress announcement of our 
Activities in the press. 

‘We propose to break up this corrupt alliance. 


We have trie tor many months to.get these.

Respecting men and women to rally id defense 
‘of the motion picture, there must be  thore 
‘and pitiless bouse cleaning from withia. 

‘A large percentage of the motion pictures of 
today, Tam sorry to say, deserves « good deat 
of the censure which you bear oa all. sides.

IMPORTANT COURT DECISION 








Judgment in Case of Sampliner vs. 
ratents Co. Reverso: 

toa statement fsrued by Gustavus A. Rogers, 
attorney for Joseph H. Sampliner. in the case 
Sgeloet the Motion Pleture Patents Company, 
Vitegraph ‘Company and others, for damages 
Yoder tho autltrust law, in which the do 
Yeodanta were successful in the courts below, it 
{a reported that the United States Supreme 








‘The case arose out of the dealings between 
the Lake Share Film Supply Company, Motion 
Pictore Patents Company, General Film Com- 


10 Licensed Manufacturers, and goee 
days before the Government insti 







Cleveland lawyer, was the attorney for ths Lake 
‘Shore Film Supply Company, which the General 
Film Company tried to buy out, It was claimed 
fu the sult that the officers of the Lake Sbore 
Film Company refused to acquiesce in some 
of the arrangemeate- of Mr. Kennedy, who 
was then the president of the General Film 
Company, amd as a reeylt of that the license 
a it of the Lake Sbore Film Company 
‘wee canceled, and it was practically driven out 
of business, Thereatter the Lake Shore Fim 
Supply Company, of which Manuel Mandembaur 
(oow of First Natlonal Eshibitor) was presl- 
deat, tssigned its claim to Mr, Sampliner, who 
fostitated an action thru his attorneys, Rogers 
& Rogers, in the United States District Court, 
bern District of New York, for $750,000 
damages, 

When the case came.on for tris! the defend. 
ants ralzed the point that the assigameut to the 
attomey wes legal, and that be could not 
reeoter, a9 the agreemtat between himself 
andthe ‘Shore Company was unlawful. 
Jndge Jolins M. Mayer, who presided at the 
inl, sustained the contention and dismissed 
the sult. On appeal to the United States Cire 
cult Court of Appeals the decision was adrnicd. 
‘whereupon an appeal was taken by the plais- 
ti to the United States Supreme Court, re- 
clting tn the reversal of the decision of the 
lower court 1a an opinion written ob behalf of 
the Sapreme Oourt by Justice McReynolds. 

‘Tbe attorners in the case. for the defendants 
included Judge Seabury, the attorney for the 
Vitagraph Company, and Albert E. Smith, 
Hobert N. McCarter, attorney’ for the Edison 
Company, and Charles B. Samuels, of Coudert 
Brothers, attorney for Pathe-Freres, and Jncquee, 
Beret. 

Mr. Sampliner was 60 well regarded by the 
Clevelond bar that the well-known law frm gf 
Cleveland, Mesars. White, Jobnson, Cannon, & 
Spleth, took a leading part in the case in the 
Ualted States Supreme Court to vindicate tho 
Potition ef the Ohl lawyer, who had been 
sererely conderaned hy the New. York Court. 

‘Tho cise is a very 
first time that the courts of this country have 
een called upon to determine whether it ts 
lawfal for a lawyer to take an assigument of a 
‘lain under the Sherman Anti-Trust Law in 
payment of services which bo rendered to. the 
corporation which has been damaged by. the 
operation of a trast, 

Gustavus A. Rogers states that. in Justice to 
Ms client, Mr. Sampliner, the same wide pub- 
Uelty should be given to tho reversal of thie

REDUCTION 
IN THEATER 
TICKET PRICES 
TO BE GENERAL 


Is Indication in the Move cf 
Sam 8S. Harris 





Who Orders Revision of Prices 
of Broadway Productions 


Other Managers Silent, But 
Cut Is Expected: / 


New York, Jan. 3.—Evidence of a 
general reduction in the price of thea- 
ter tickets Is contained in the fact that 
Sam S. Harris hag ordered a revision 
of prices for all his Broadway attrac- 
tions, beginning tonight,’ with a top 
price of $2.50. Altho Harris is presl- 
dont of the Producing Managers’ Asso- 
elation he says he acted only for hi 
self in making reductions, but sald that 

+ other managers would soon take sim- 
lar action, 

“Beginning tonight,” Mr. Harris 
sald, "a two-fifty scale of prices will 
be fixed for. my New York produc- 
tlons—Welcomé Stranger,’ at the 
Cohan & Harris.Theater; ‘Little Old 
New York,’ ‘at ‘the .Plymouth, and 
Grant Mitchell In “The Champion,’ at 
the Longacre. ‘The reduction will go 
tight down the tine,until it affects the 
lowest price balcony seat. “ 

“When I bring. Mrs.. Fiske in. her 
hew play, ‘Wake Up, Jonathan,’ into 
New York soon the $2.50 scale will 
Drevall at the opening and thereafter. 

“It should be apparent to theater- 
g0ers that no fixed seale of prices can 
be arbitrarily set for all productions. 
An elaborate musical show or an all- 
star production, for instance, cannot 


























be given profitably at the same prices ; 





that will bring a fair profit on a play 
that costs less to produce.” 

Other theatrical man: 
concerning thelr. plans for prices for 
the immediate future, but the action 
of the Shuberts in: placing a $2.50 limit 
on tickets for their houses in Boston 
last week, and a general reduction of 
Prices in the largest Chicago theaters 
Tecent!v, are regarded-as pointing to @

there is not one who {9 In any way “‘notorious.”

‘then, with the “Sunshiners,”” did another act, 
Jeaving tho’ jail at 2 o'clock in thne to make

SUNDAY MOVIES 
Defeat Opposition Again in Schenec-

‘Schenectady, N. Yu Dec, 90~The “Anti-, 
Sunday Movie Fanatics” recelved another slap 
fn the face at the bands of Schenectady's 
Fighting’ Mayor, George E, Lanz. 

Having been emphatically defeated at the 
last Mayoralty election, when thelr candidate, 
‘Mayor Chas. A. Simon, unalterable foe of Sun- 
day amusements, lost out to Dr. Lunn, who 
favored Sunday mories and baseball, these un~ 
Dopolar reformers now demand rigid censorship 
‘of all Sunday movies by the Mayor. They 
realize that Sunday movies is en institution 
in this elty now, but still cling to the delusive 
‘hope that they may succeed fn “parifying” the 
movies on Sunday. 

‘The fanatics now insist that the Mayor cen~ 
sor all Sunday movies, or create a Sunday Cen- 
sorship Commission. “As Dr. Lona is unwilling 
to sit thra elght and ninereel programs of 
aboot twenty movie theaters (aboot 180 reels) 
and will not epend the city fonds to support 
‘6 censorship committee, while health centers 
are in demand, te fanatics most bunt thelr 
Roles and acknowledge defeat a second time. 

‘David D. Connel, president of the Board of 
Aldermen, in @ recent letter to the newspapérs: 
‘charged that flagrantly immoral pletares were 
being shown at the theaters on Sunday, Im- 
mediately Mayor Luna's righthand’ man, Com- 
culssloner of Public Safety John E. Cole, de- 
manded that the president give the names of 
the plctares and the theaters showing them,

Mme. Trentini, erstwhile lght opera star, and Laddle Clitt were headlin- 
ers, while Ce Dora, closing the show, was the outstanding hit of bill. 

Kinograms, usually the best part of the show, altho programmed, were 
not shown either at the start or the finish of the bill. One never reaily ap~ 
Preciates the screen until they have sat thru seven acts of song. 

Despite the fact that the houso was but helf filled, and scores of ‘people 
kept pouring in during the course of his act,"Carl Emmy and his pets got 
away to a gobd hand in opening the show. A variety of canine stunts, ran 
off at a snappy tempo, made up a routine that was both novel and interest- 
ing. ‘There are some fifteen: odd dogs in this'act, all of whom are finished 
actors, Ten minutes. 3 ee 

Bartram and Sexton followed. These. two lads are. songsters and good 
ones at that. Their routine consists mostly. of two-part. numbers, sung in 
close harmony. A form of ensemble particularly ingratiating to the ears of 
vaudeville fans, but Bartram and Sexton do not.score by virtue of their ex- 
cellent voices alone, not ‘by a long shot, for this-duo are about as clever a 
two'as we have ever seen when it comes to selling thelr material. They put 
& song over with smashing effectiveness and In;such manner as fo. leave the 
audience crying for more. A Japanese number was. worked up especially 
good and drew them a haif dozen or so legitimate bows. 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

‘Ethel Grace and Billie Taylor. 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.

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. She 
held the house In to a person and closed the hit of the ill. Seven minutes.

THE PLAY 


It is a pity that in transplanting Jean some- 
thing of the original spirit of the play could

into English as it is to Americanize the Gallic 
erspective, which is the essence of the piece.

Bitches and Latin minors, to the subtved at- 
Woepbere of Charles Marshall's apartment in & 
‘pearby hotel is a near-cubist study in contrast, 
‘To the stranger unaware that this is the man 
Whose mighty tevor voice stirred the operatic 
circles of two natiooy last week , Mr. Marshall 
might fast ae well pass for a placid banker 
trom Bloomington, a bond saleamaa from New 
‘York or fair secretary seeking features for 

‘his annual exhibition. 

Mr, Marshal's firmly knit American Sgure, 
temperament and personality ail express typleal 
American characteristics. He greetsi ¢ Bill- 
‘board representative with frank gen‘ality. Tis 
telumph of last week ia “Othello” was touched 
‘on by the reporter. 

“IE is the most diMcolt tenor role ever writ- 
ten. One must know Shakespeare to Erow the 
tenoe rote in ‘Othello.’ 1 sang it abroad. per- 
haps a bundred times.”

Mr, Marshall had brought down upon his head 
the enmity of this and that racial arm of the 
opera company, that he was being discriminated

‘the company, ete. 

‘He mailingly, but firmly declined to express 
Bimself with reference to the rumors and those 
alleged to figure in euch reports, “My oppor- 
tunity arrived and I am pleased with the re- 
feult,” he said. “It had to come some time, and 
ft came at a good time.” "Mr, Marshall iz 
modest withoat being self-eftacing, direct of 
‘epeech and devold of superlatives. 

“As I am regarded, 1 believe, as the ooly 
living dramatic tenor, T stick close to my =e 
clalties, as, for instance, “Othello,” ‘Samson and 
‘Deliiab,” ‘La Juive’ and ‘William Tell." When 
Igo fo New York with the Obleago Opera 
‘Company I will sing ‘Othello’ five times. I will 
Temain with the Chicago oragnization until the

‘The opening took place at the Health Farm ~ 
‘with the’ village beaux and belles awaiting the 
arrival of Buneum’s Circus. The Peek-a-Boo 
Trio, with the Misses Meyers, Creighton and 
Darley, formed a: vocalistic sextet of personal 
charm and ability. Amette Creighton, a pé-

Jed ‘of with “and of Old Black Joe" io a 
charming manner got! the arrival of those fun- 
ny fellows, Bobby Clark and Paul McCullough, in 
neater than usual attire, with an offering of 
eppery parodies that proved them in ‘it form 
to keep the audience amused. Bobby's Gopher 
for Go-For-Her and Mac as the editor of The 
Subway Sun went over well for laughs. 

‘May Meyers, a pretty blond, vocalized “on 
Disie. The Jazzbo Band, as usual, caine in for 
its share of clever comedy enhanced by Cli 
funny antics and dances on the side: Florence 
Darley, in all her blond loveliness and operatic 
Yoralism, made her specialty stand out pre- 
eminent. Bobby's matrimonial ceremony with 
the aid of telepbone book and Iaughable quips 
for Bridegroom Harry Wilde and Bride May 
‘Meyers was burlesque par excellence.

‘McCatlough' with a water bag repository. 

‘The interior of Buncum’s Circus with its plc- 
torial audience was artistic realism, niade more 
so by the Balzer Tronpe of fascinating feml-

‘The Misses Meyers and Creighton, in a Cato

JANUARY 16, 1921 


The Billboard 


UMMERS! MEALS!!and MONKEYS! 


It is the accidental things which a man says or 
writes which convey his true beliefs. 

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.”

‘AN APOLOGY |. 
TO THE MEMBERS OF THE THEATRICAL PROFESSION ‘THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES /AND CANADA . 


In the Christmas issue of “THE BILLBOARD" we advertised our big «ong hit: 


“Would a Little Bit of Love Make Life Seem Sweeter?” 


requesting the members of the profession to send for complimentary copies of this number. We were swamped with requests, and the result was that 


‘we were unable to fill them. 
‘We expected this number to go “big”—but we did not expect the unprecedented demand from dealers and members of the profession through- 
out the country, and we were calght—we were not able to supply the copies, although four editions had been run off the press. 
‘We are now, however, in a position to supply thtm, so:if you wrote and could not obtain a copy, PLEASE WRITE AGAIN, as wo have-6,000 
more copies ready for distribution. t 2 


‘The few troupes that were able to secure copies ‘featured them and ‘met with instantansous success, one well-known singer having to respond. 
to four curtain calls at one performance. : 


We have no hesitation about ‘saying that this song is one of the kind that will literally SWEEP THE COUNTRY, so.send for it and- FEATURE it, 


Sincerely Yours, -THE ROBINSON PUBLISHING CO., KLAMATH FALLS, ORE.

too criminally guilty to write, 
Just now the one big rut that all lyceum 
bureaus are trying to crack is the one prevented 
by the Continental Igeeum Bureau of Louls- 
Ville, By. C. H. Hemon, being the manager of 
activities and the chef one at whoee head 


‘What is the cause of this bubbub when Hes- 
son's name is mentioned in polite managerial 
soclets? Here it is: He soya that if great 
merchandising concerns ean trust the common 
People with thousands of doliars worth of mer- 
ebandise a4 grow rich om the plan he doesn’t 
‘see why he has to ask local committees to sigp 


contracts that are usually one-cifed and 
‘often work a great loss to the local committee 
when he can treat the people right, trust them 
‘aif as much as a commercial house would trust 





He started eight years aro snd trom thet 


“humble beginning he fas gone on until: now he has

P. Bible is another of the standard, time-tried 
lecturers. Dr. James H. McLaren is another one 
‘who has been on the Iceum and chautanqua plat- 
form for years. His music companies seem to 
us to be abore the regulation, pictured folder, 
hand-made bureau stuf. So we say on the 
face of things the continental talent looks to 
‘be above the average. But we are not boosting 
talent, neither are we knocking sny attrace 
tions. We are explaining methods. 

De. Sears has been with about all the standard 
Dureaus, and he ought to be in-a position to 
tell what the inside workings of this system 
really are. He says: “I went with Hessen, not

began to rest a ttle easier, and, when T had 
deen out for a month, I began to get interested

second year with him, and I am enthusiastic 
avout his work. I Sud people Ike to be trusted. 
‘They respond to that faith that he puts in them 
by getting out avd hustling, Qnee i a while 
‘a town is too dead to do any hustling and then 
we have to pass them up, but it is seldom that 
we fail to go over the top and with lots of en- 
thosiasm.’ 

‘We were particular to pry out the facts as to 
the effect that this arrangement has on the local

‘The American Legion boys had. signed it—100

A SINGING JAILBIRD OF 1821 = 
At this time of the year, one hundred years ago, John Howard Payne, sey an emer 
known to fost of the world as the authbr of “Home, Sweet Home,” was "janz9 


in durance in the old Fleet Prison in London. As manager he had sought 





to elevate'the stage in:the Sadler's Wells Theater. Instead he-had de- Span, aealiiod 
pressed is own fortunes. So he, was committed to, the charge of the ia Bev-cae Bowe: Nee 
rarden of Fleet as an insolvent debtor. The good old idea was in ful ae 
force in those times that the way to deal with the man who had no cash Caliiratt tion Am, 
to pay was to put him where he could not earn the money. i 
But young Mr. Payne refused to confirm this theory of the debtor's Oreste See eat 


due. January 1, 1821, our prisoner had a headache. We learn that from 
his diary, some early pages of which are printed in the current Scribner’s,” 
But on January 17 he had an idea. A parcel from France brought two 
ry melodramas by Victor, one of which Mr. Payne’ quickly adapted into 

a Therese, or the Orphan of Geneve.” This play, wag in reading for Drury

EQUITY HURLS DEFI AT § 


Utimatum To P.M. A. 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

BASEBALL CASE AROUSES 


INTEREST IN 


VAUDE WORLD 





United States Supreme Court to Decide Whether 
Baseball Is Sport or “Trade and Commerce” 
—May Have Bearing ‘on V. M. P. A. 
Decision 





‘New York, Jan. 17.—Considerable interest $s. 
being evidenced in vaudeville circles all over 
‘the country in the litigation now pending 10 
the United States Supreme Court at Washington, 
‘which hag been brought in an effort to determine 
whether or not professional ‘baseball is “trade 
or commerce,” in a legal sense, or “sport” and 
immune from antl-trost laws. “Should the bigh 
tribunal decree basetnl “trade or commerce” 
it will, in all probability, pave the way for the 
setting aside of the decision handed down in the 
case of the Federal Trade Commission against 
the Vaudeville Managers’ Protective Associa- 
‘thon, 

‘The Supreme Court bas been called upon to 
solve the baseball problem under a writ of 
error granted recently in the District Court of 
Appeals in a controversy involving @ $900,000 
Gamage sult brought by the Baltimore Club 
against the American and National leagues, 
resting on charges of alleged monopoly of the 
Dig leaguers. It was brought in tho District 
Court of Washington under the anti-trust Inws, 
ft classified bameball as “trade oF 
a Jury granting a verdict of $264,- 
000. The Appellate Court, on the other band, 
‘Viewed baseball as “sport”? and set aside the 
verdict. 

Harry Mountford, executive secretary of the 
American Artistes’ Federation, when interviewed 
at his offices at 1440 Broadway. eaid that he 
‘was quite aware of the action of the Baltimore 
Clad and that be was glad that such a case was 
to be taken to the Supreme Court of the United 
States, 

He pointed out that the distinetion in the 
‘Dareball case bad been made just as the incor 
rect and illegal distinction bad deen drawn by 
the Department of Justice in tho case of the 
‘White Rats against the United Bookiog Ofices 











never claimed,” 
‘operating a theater was interstate commerce, 
Dut we claim that the operation of the United 
Booking Offices is interstate commerce. This 
Aecision in the baseball case was that playing 
Daseball was not interstate commerce. The 
Baltimore Club never claimed that it was. It 
‘was the operation of the National and American 
Jengues that was claimed as interstate com- 
meree.”* 

In splte of the hurried decisiom of the present 
Department of Justice, Mr. Mountford said that 
‘contracts made between theaters in different 
States, the shipping of actors’ baggage, pars- 
phernalia; the actors themselves, to and from 
different States; the ‘of moneys from 
‘different States to the Palace Theater Building, 
‘such moneys arising out of such business, would. 
leatly prove that the United Booking ‘Offices’ 
‘Dosiness was interstate. commerce when the 
‘actors’ case got to the Supreme Court. 

“What do you men ‘when the actors’ case 
‘gets to the Supreme Court’?” he was asked, 

“Exactly what I said,” Mr. Mountford re- 








“In any case,"* he went on; “after March 
there will be a new set af officials in the De 
partment of Justice. 

“If the Supreme Court can set aside the 
Creston Act, as they did in the recent Duplex 
Printing Press tigation, and can make so wide 
‘an interpretation of the Sherman Anti-Trust Act 
23 the majority openty did in that case, then 
there is xo legal, moral or ethical reason why

the Supreme Court of the United States shoulé

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. The 
work of this clever dancing team is well known to Broadway. Both are 
artistes of the first water. Eighteen minutes. 

Ea Gallagher and Joe Rolley. in “On Palm Beach,” had little difficulty 
fn getting by to. a good hand In next to closing. Their material contains 
plenty of laughs, and each laugh Is a legitimate one. Ten minutes. 

‘The Four Hassams closed show with a novel and interesting routine of 
tumbling stunts, which, however, failed to hold the audience. Nevertheless 
they scored fair hands—EDWARD HAFFEL. 


























{tm addition to thé pleasingty neat appearance of 
all the “actors"> and the unfalteriag raptatty 
‘with which each trick wa sone thra, was & 
Acclded noteity. that of a miniature captive 
ballooa and basket below the borders to which 
the three feline members of the troupe climb

Norcross, in “A Song Glimpse of Yesterday.” 
Joseph was billed as the oldest Iving minstrel 
Dasso tn active service, and, with Nellie, thelr

heart and take her away, 2 Iz motorlike, is 
laborately staged, and the Gzale, night scene, 
“red talliight,” going down rural highway to

“TO E. B: MARKS 


‘Thirty years ago E. B. Marks was a popular song writer and the 
author of “December and May.” Several Years later he and Jos. W. Stern 
organized the firm of Jos. W. Stern & Co. They wrote and published “A 
Little Lost Child,” “My Mother Was a Lady” and other hits. Having 
had business experience before entering the song game, they soon saw 
the folly of trying to be song writers and business executives at the same 
time. 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

“‘Second—It would bar from the theater many 
actors of great promioence who might not care 
to subscribe to the by-laws. of the Actors!

‘Third—It would place the dramatic author 
cotirely in tho bands of the Actors’ Equity 4s- 
sociation Council, Inasmuch as any play of his 
which might not. meet with thelr approval 
could not possibly be performed. 

Fourth—It would nullify the recently won

‘the possibte dictation of the Byuity Counc in 
‘the actual casting of his play.

arbitration tn the theater, for the reeson that 
any polley of the Actors’ Equity Association

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. Jr., about it. “He will 
know, because he knows everything 
that goes on. 

JUST to show you: 

“Why is So-and-So leaving Such-

CORSE PAYTON declares that he 
should be given the big part in “The 
Tavern” now that Arnold Daly has 
departed from the cast, 

“It's a nut comedian. I'm a ‘nut 
gomedian. Why not?” says Williams- 
‘bure’s Belasco. . 

I say “Why not?” also, 


SO brother got a pot of black paint 
and painted the front door., ‘That 
night pa took him out into the wood- 
shed and labored on him. Then he 
Bred him out ofthe house, saying 
‘with tears In his voice: “Never darken 
my door again!!" 


‘THAT one 1s fairly old, isn’t it? 
‘There 1s no excuse in the world for 
Gragging it opto this page, is, there? 
Is that comment on the theater? I 
should say it is: No less than four 
times within the past fortnight have 
T heard “Never darken my door again” 
spoken by outraged parents... The 
latest occasion was while suffering 
thru “Pagans.” It ought to be stopped. 
I write the original version so that 
budding playwrights may be warned 
im time. 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. Let them’ 
fight it out! 


-“IN all fairness, however,” he went 
on, “St is time someone said a word 
‘about the gross burlesques which are 
staged in the garb of clergymen. Not 
all’clergymen are gentlemen any more 
than all saints were—or are. . Holy, 
Orders gives a man additional powers

manners or change his physical make-

1 bave not read “Miss Lulu. Bett.” 
1 do not know whether it is good, bad 
‘or indifferent, but after watching the 


play of the same name I think I will’ 


read it There 1s so much that is 
really human in what is not really a 
play at all, so much certain character 
‘etching, and such accurate small town 
photography that the book must be 
well worth knowing. 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. Of the flerce clash of person- 
alities, situations and {deas the offer~ 
ing at the Belmont Theater has noth~ 
ing- It raises langhs, sympathy, mild 
interest and gentle satisfaction, but 
it has neither statie‘nor dynamic en- 
ergy. 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. Nothing sensational, 
mind you, but a solid success due to 
a knowledge‘ of simple acting—which 
4s different from acting “simply”—a 
searching personality, a mobile. face, 
‘& beauty so sure of its quality it fears. 


poftoning such a “Ma” instantly upon 
reaching the age of reason. Jack 
Bohn ‘makes a natural and boyish 
sweetheart who cannot tell a le even 
to elope with Dwight’s daughter Diana, 
played naturally and well by Beth 
‘Varden. One of the best characteri- 
zations is given by Willard Robertson 
as the young man who cannot make 
his “pafpiano” store behave, but has 
the soul. of a gentle, dependable, un- 
‘obtrusive man. That is what Mr. Rob- 
ertson: makes him appear, and while 
only a minor part he stands out as 
‘with positive sincerity and solid dig> 
nity. Brigham Royce.ts very good as 
‘Miss Lulu’s on-and-off husband, but 
I did not like Loulse Closer Hale's im- 
personation of Mrs. Bett, It has good 
spots but lacks definite characteriza- 
tion and not infrequently. has mo- 
ments dangerously near burlesque. 
Her cackling laugh should come out. 
at once. It does-not fit at all, Last, 
but not least, is little Lois Shore, as

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. She 
has the finest, most bloodcurdling 
screech I have ever heard. No‘ woman 
who can do that is totally bereft of 
dramatic feeling. "The. man-in on the

Of the play itself much can be writ-

mands consideration, because in what- 
ever ‘he turns out there runs the red 
blood of réal life, the steady beat of a 
human pulse and the exact penetration 
of the souls of the characters with 
which he deals. Emma Crosby is to 
be married to Captain Caleb Williams, 
the skipper of a whaling vessel: © Sh 
loves him, because he is unlike the 
‘animal human of her seaport bome, her 
gross, vulgar brother and her unpleas- 
antly human father... He -is her: ideal, 
ther Chevalier Sans Reproche. - He is 
different. ‘Then she learns that on one 
of his. voyages, forced to put into a 
South Sea. Island bay for ‘water, he 
‘has fallen (under the spell of the moon, 
the softness of the sky and the per- 
fume of the flowers) for ah insistent 





consideration that it is his solitary of- 
fense, that In’ comparison to the de- 
Dauchery of his crew, from which he 
has held himself apart,. 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-

ay Seems See Teaches thrucut the country to every branch of the greatest of all professions. 





We might also add as & little justification for this letter to you, that of the hunireds 

of thousands of shipments of “PROZEN SWEETS" sent throughout the country to many thousands 
of concessionaires and show-men, the majority of whose attention was first drawn to the 

would merits of the "FAMOUS FROZEE SWERTS" through the colums of the "BELLBOARD", you have never, 
to our knowledge, received from even one of these many thousands of conc: onaires and 
showemen handling the "FROZEN SWEETS", any complaint of any nature whatsoever regarding the 
quality of this confection or of our methods of doing busines: 


When you consider the fact that'we deal with thousands of different people included among 
whom are every class in the show business, with the varying conceptions of value natural in 
such @.multitude, it is almost inconceivable that a thing of this kind should occur, as you 
must realize that regardless of the merits of an article it is very seldom that anything cap

Consistent with the downward trend of prices of some commodities,

“PULLING” EXTEMPORANEOUS STUFF 


It is interesting to note how little some vaudeville atts care at what 
theater they are working to “pull” some of their extemporaneous stuff. 
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.”

iS $f thought by all producers, both in the theatrical and the picture field, in 
‘Jans as much as the Rabbi is not a seeker of notoriety. 
‘Rabbi Wise says: “The theater is another great factor to be con- 
Sei 2 } sidered -in Americanization work. I regret to say that the show pre— 
ig Bo. 20cm sented by many of the theaters, especially the motion picture houses, are 








not so “much ‘dramatic revelations as physical exposures. Some of the 
theaters are veritable cesspools. ‘Mud’ and ‘Blood’ you might say char- 
acterize the theaters of today in many instances. 

“There is one way to stop this and that is to demand a good class of 
plays and to. patronize only those that come up to the required standards. 
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. T. BERLINER.

WHAT WE SAW IN FORD'S 
FACTORY. . 
(Continved, from vage 45) 
tier Detroit factories during 1938 reaching €00 
set cent. 

“The featere of the Ford plan which recelved 
tae wilest attention in 1014 was the proft 
‘Garing, by which men were to recelv a mini- 
pom of $5 ia wages, and: prodts for am cight- 
Secr dey. This minimum was raised to #5 oo 
Janeery 1, 1919, In both the amount of profte 
ini is’ he absence of any production require- 
est as a condition Yor recelving them fr. 
Fea disclosed the faith in human nature and 
ie desize to do justice that prompted bis ac 
tea. 

The average man does not need to de shown 
tow to bulld Bomes,.to‘save money or to im- 
grote ting conditions, What he necds is = 
$id where he can do there things for himself. 
‘Mee frat croup of two bupdred men who went 
cat to visit the homes in 1914, ‘the forerunners 
of the present body of advisers, found = very 
faterent set of conditions in many homes 
‘rom those existing today, Only sixty per cent 
of the working foree at that time could bé ap- 
proved at once as proft sharers. It was the 
ety of the educational department, which was 
‘alted the soclologlcal department in thoes 
27s, to educate the remalaing forty per cent, 
towing them what was necessary to become 
prott sharers, and giting needed encouragement 
and assistance. The purpose hes been from the 
frst to mate it possible for every Ford man to 
receive and to continue to recelve protts. Dur~ 
{ng the last year there has not been more tha 
eat man in foor thousand not recelving profits. 


A MATTER OF PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP 


'R. FORD'S idea of a personal relationship 
and Just dealing with bis men is further 
stown in his doing away with the arbl- 

tury dlecharse of men. Mr. Ford has an idem 

that be rather make something of a man 
than discharge him. It ts only for exceptional reas 
era and after foll consideration that q man 
eam be discharged. -'The average employer oF 

‘superintendent “shakes' his head doubtfully over 

this and says tt would not work im his factory, 

‘Foremen may send men whom they are unable 

to ue to the employment office, but must state 

4a detafl thelr reasons for doing so. The em- 

Vloyment oflce adjusts the differences, if pos- 

stile, of assigns men to other work, This

not know where to go, or if he falls to secure 
‘what he considers the proper hearing or rem: 
cay, be may take bis case up directly with tho 
‘educational department. As the personal repre- 
fentativ of Heary Ford and of the company 
the department 1s expected to see that all men 
are treated in accordance with the purpose and 
{deals of the company. It is the business of 
this department to give every man a chance to 
state his case and to sco that no injustice goes 
uaremedied. Ite ‘method is the simple ane of 
getting direct persoaal knowledge of the facts, 
The square deal follows. whenerer ‘the facts 
‘are made Boows. =, 

‘This marked’ improvement in the material 
condition of the large majority of Ford men'thra 
‘tbe Usual opportunities of the job is one of 
the great ‘achievements, of the Fond plan. 

‘But it ts the unurual things that the Ford 
‘Motor Company has done to-restore to a useful 
Place to indastry men who could neither get 
or Bold a fob under ordinary todustria} condl- 
tlons that furnteh most striking evidence of & 





new conception of the human and personal re- 
lationship in industry. 

‘Most men need only an opportunity. This 
the Job offers to all Ford men. But men over- 
‘taken by illness and misfortune, burdened with 
worry and anxiety, submerged by debt and 
Aiscouragement need something more than = 
Job. The company not only set an ideal hefore 
such men, but undertook to help them reach it. 
‘Thra pay’ envelppe and personal contact it gave 
‘the encouragement and opportunity that set 
men on thelr feet. It got them into hetter 
eucroundings. It ect men to paying off old 
debts -and getting square with the world. It 
restored hope.

ooking theaters, clubs, etc. Is that fale to 
‘the fellow who is of the level and pays a lle 
cense? Is it any wonder they say the License 
commissioner's office is a joke. Yes, I am still 
plasing dates and working most of the time. 
But if they try to stop me for telling the” 
truth, then I will de satisted that I am doing 
eomeone a Uttle good. But I care not for the” 
eraders af the law. I have kept well within 
the law daring my life time and will continue 
‘alone those Ines if I have to spend the entire 
summer at the Polo Grounds. 

‘Now, Me. Harry Mountford, The Actors? Cham- 
pion, come on-out of hiding and get after the 
fellows who sponge off the actor or artist. If 
you an stop the blood suckers from grabbing 
part’ of the actor's salaiy; yes, © good part, 
‘there won't be much trouble getting laborers 
next summer. Sure they will all be compelled 
‘to go to work. 

‘Remember, I refer to the agent who says 
to the male member of @ sketch team: “Tes, 
it’s 0. K. for the last half, Send gour wife up 
to my office about 6:30 tonight for the com 
tracts.” Got that?

LOEW'S NEW 
STATE. THEATER 
TO OPEN JULY 1 


But Building Will Be Ready 
for Occupancy May 1 





Estimated Cost of Project 
Placed at $5,000,000 





‘New York, Jan, 24—Marcus Loew's 
new State Theater Building, at the 
corner of Broadway and Forty-sixth 
street, as well as the State Annex,. 
will be ready for occupancy by May 
1, it was announced today. ‘The new 
Stato Theater, however, will not be 
‘opened until several months later, th 
tentative date being July 1. The en- 
tire project is estimated to have cost 
the Loew corporation $5,000,000. 

‘The office building proper, sixteen 
stories In height, is the tallest building 
on Broadway north of Forty-third 
street. It is by far the most imposing 
structure in the Times Square district. 
‘Building operations, which have been 
Moving apace, are fast nearing com- 
Pletion. The Annex, which is six 
stories in height, will house the Loew 
Booking office and the offices of the 
Loew agents. 

The theater, when completed, will 
‘Ihave a seating capacity of 4,000, and, 
It s understood, will operate under a 
“big-time” policy, It will have an im= 
Dosing entrance and foyer facing 
Broadway. This house, when opened, 
‘will be the only vaudeville theater in 
the Times Square area competing 
with the Palace. 

‘The sixteen floors of the new build- 
ing, which for the most part have 
ready beon let under long-term leases, 
will net the Loew Corporation an ag- 


Sregate yearly rental of nearly $603, 
000 exclusive of floor space rented to 
stores and mercantile establishments. 
The aggregate yearly rental of the 
gamex is placed at more than $158,- 








The executive offices of the Mar- 
cus Loew and Metro Corporation will 
occupy the entire seventh floor of the” 
main building.

Things in State of Flux—No 
News From Either Side 











“New York, Jan. 24.—Conferences 
were held practically all of last week 
between Equity officials and the Shu- 
berts regarding charges-of discrimina~ 
tion leveled at the latter by Equity. 
‘While neither side will reveal what has 
taken place, it is believed that a settle- 
ment will be eventually reached, tho 
this may take several weeks. One of 
the surface indications that trouble be- 
tween Equity and the Shuberts will be 
avoided is in the handling of news of 
the situation by the Shuberts’ weekly, 
‘The Review. A week ago Saturday, no 
news of the situation was printed save 
@ small box on the front page, which 
stated a full account of the Shuberts’ 
side of the story would be printed the 
following Saturday. When the issue 
named came out last Saturday there 
was not a single word printed about it.

ally. It is surmised that Equity and

An Answer to the: Dra- 
matists’ Guild and Their 
Co-Defendanis 


By HARRY L. DIXSON 





It was with mingled feelings of sur- 
prise and astonishment that we read 
the recent resolutions passed by the 
Dramatists’ Guild and endorsed by 
the Authors’ League of America, Inc. 
It does not seem possible that the ma- 
jority of the members in those two 
‘bodies could have sanctioned such a 
thing. Lacking in logic and filled with 
hysterical prophesies and dismalefore- 
bodings, it does not sound like the re- 
sult of sound thinking. 

They state that after careful in- 
vestigation they are convinced that 
the Equity Shop would result in cer 
tain deplorable conditions, which con- 
ditions really concern themselves as 
@ sister organization, and no one else. 
As a kind of after thought they drag 
in Equity members and tell them what 
dire calamities are likely to be heaped 
upon them by the organization which 
they themselves have builded. The 
fact that they are-convinced does not 
mean that such conditions as named 
would take place, Just what has 
convinced them we do not know, as 
they do not go into detail regarding 
that, We might say that the sun will 
never shine again, but that statement 
would not have much weight unless 
we could bring forth evidence that its 
past performance had been such that 
on a certain date it would blink out 
entirely. We would like to know by. 
what occult powers of foresight they 
are able to predict all the dire calam- 
ities that would follow the adoption 
of the Equity Shop. 

‘Why should not actors have some- 
thing to say about the control of their 
own business? The theater was en- 
tirely in their hands until some inter- 
Jopers got in power and commercial- 
ized it for no pa¥ticular benefit to any 
‘one except themselves. We are baited 
constantly with the assertion that 
these persons are sincerely trying to 
advance the art of the theater. Let 
them fetch their proof, but it) will 
have to be something more convinc- 
ing than bedroom farces and naked 
‘women. Haven't the actors been down- 
trodden, by commercialism, shabby 
Plays and other vile conditions lone 
enough to raise an indignant protest 
and demand that they have at least 
@ Iittle to say about what is rightfully 
theirs? Would it have been possible 
to call an.actors’ strike if there had 
been no common cause for the com- 
mon good? Most certainly not. That 
strike was a most unusual thing. It

MANAGERS AND DRAMATISTS

Conan, founder and vice-president of the Actors’ 
Fidelity League, in bis campaign against the 
Actors’ Equity Association. Under the aus- 
pices of a directorate composed of Joba L. 
Goldes, William Gillette and other managers 
and dramatists a meeting of nearly thirty 
members was held at No. 148 West 45th street 
to vote upon the desirability of the Equity 
Shop. After strong speeches against the Equity 
Shop by Mr, Coban, who is president of this 
scclety, and Arthur Hopkins, the manager, o 
vote condemning the Equity Shop was cast, 

‘The leader in the opposition to this vote 
against the Equity Shop was Zoo Akins, the 
author of many successful plays Another 
epeaker tn favor of the Equity Shop was Ed- 
ward Locke. ' 

“The Soelety of American Dramatists and 
Conrposers has been anaemic for years."" sald 
Mr. Gillmore, executive secretary of the Actors’ 
Bqulty Association, last night. cannot 
help feeling that perhaps the fact that most of 
the playwrights who voted yesterday work on 
‘a percentage basis with their managers as re- 
garde profits from plays may have something 
to do with thelr vote. Perhaps, too, the fact 
that Mr. Coban, who was formerly of the 
Fidelity League, is also the president of the 
Soctety of American Dramatists and Composers, 
may also have a bearing on the matter. This 
antl-Equity element among the dramatists 
seems to have the courage of thelr managers’ 
convietions—and nothing more, 

“Ae a matter of fact, the same clique which

Friday controlled this meeting. Men like

WOULD REVIVE WHITE RATS 





“Neither Albee, Shuberts, Erlanger, Loew Nor 
Any Person or Association of Persons Will

F. as Long as I Am 


With It,” Says Executive Secretary 





‘New York, Jan, 24.—Harry Momu‘ford, exece 
utive secretary of the American Artistes’ -Ped- 
eration, today in an exclusive interriew to 
‘The Billboard. exploded the report that the 
Shuberts intend to revive the White Rats in 
connection with thelr plans for enteriag the 

saderille eld. A atatement to that effect 
appeared on Thursday last week in Tho New 
‘York Herald, and was immediately seized 
upon by Broadway wiseacres a food for 
wild conjecture, The article ywas vo couched 
‘to imply that the brothers, Lee and Jake, 
planned to take the relss of the vaudeville 
‘actore’ organization in hand with a view of pit- 
‘ting It against the Albeo crowd and the Actors’ 
‘Equity Amociation. 

In bis offices at 1440 Broadway Mr. Mount- 
ord expressed himself rather forcibly :m re- 
‘gard to the veracity of the preso and its knowl- 
‘edge of the show business in general. 

“Some day,” Mr. Mountford said, “the dally 
and weekly newspapers will learn something 
‘bout sbow business and will be able to write 
i somerbat accurately and semi-correctly. 

“The story in The Herald suggests that mana- 











“tf I wanted to run an organtration that was 
controlled by managers I would at the prevent 
moment be running the N,V. As,, because the 
hus been made to me directly to accept 
chief position and run the N. V. As. My 
answer can easily be seen by the fact that I 
am sth with the American Artistes’ Federa- 








and Canada; that I was told 
that I would be backed by unlimited capital, 
‘and to the mit, if T would the Actors? 
Equity Association, ana this ‘from the 
Sboberts, but from the person whom I helieve 
‘was the sponsor and author of this ridiculous 
article in The Herald. 

“It cannot be too emphatically sald that we 
‘ave no affliations, no agreements, no under- 
standings, direct or indirect, expressed or im- 
piled, with any manager; with any manager's 
Tepresentative or firm of managers. We are 
for the actor first, last and all the time. The 
moment we are not for the actor I hope and 
‘trust that we shall be kicked out so quickly that 
nothing will be seen but dust.” 

‘The article in question, 28 contained In Jast 
‘Thursday's issue of The Herald, is printed 





«It was learned: yesterday that the Shu-

THE WISE BIRDS AND THE LEMON i 





_ By E. M. WICKES 





Columbus wasn't the only bird who had a battle to convince the wiseacres that he 


started ont to peddle the song. 


‘within Sfteen minutes after entering the publisher's office. ce 
For one solid day Gerard and Armstrong hiked from publisher to publisher. 





‘wise publisher told them that they had a lemon, or something worse—polson ivy, maybe. 
And foward six o'clock they began to think that they were dealing in over-ripe fruit. 
‘They still had two publishers to see, to have it camied—Howley, Haviland & Dresser, and 
‘Witmark. 

Howley’ sald the cong wasn’t bad, but not good enough to get any advance royalty. 
‘Tired of Ingging the song about, Gerard and Armstrong offered. to let bim have it minus 
any advance. Then Howley thought he didn't want it. ‘They spent the next thirty minutes 
tatking him into taking it. 

‘Byery once in a while for the next year they used to ask Howley when be was going 
to publish it, He couldn't say. He was walting for a spot for it. ‘Then Armstrong went 
to work for Witmark. He and Gerard thought that if they could get the song back from 
Howley they would bave a better chance with Witmark, Howley didn't have to be 
‘coaxed; in fact, be gave each a cigar for taking the thing off his bands. After another 
Battle they induced Witmark to Bring the cong out—in professional coples. No one raved 
about it, convincing Gerard and Armstrong that they really had produced » first-class 
Temon.

JANUARY 23, 1921 











THE arrival of Gilbert K. 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? And who is Dinnie 
MacDonald? 1 don't believe there 
are any such persons. Come clean 
with me, kid, I'm from the West! 








FOR the information of the gentle- 
man from the West-I confess that I 
hhave never been introduced to the 
Commodore Pants Company and I 
don't. know who Dinnie MacDonald is. 
All I know is that the Commodore 
Pants Company is listed under “The- 
atrical Managers and Agencies” in 
the Classified New York Telephone 
Directory. It 1s located on Chrystie 
street. Dinnie MacDonald is in the 
same list. Further than that, deponent 
sayeth not. ~ 





“AW quush moosh to be doodhkel.”

“Ovah theayah nuonghkilynfgd.” 
“No!” 

“I may be all you say I am, but

helike my, wife!" 

“Not at all! Not at all! On the 
con'ty yaw shctrehinf scfloimb vicikel 
@ baosthunally! Rather!” 








qoQHEROKEE? Abyssinian? Chal- 
ic? 

Not at all. ‘The dialog printed 
above is an excellent example of what 
comes across the footlights at the 
Booth ‘Theater where’ “The Green 
Goddess” ie being played. It is not 
Himalayan either. 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. 
From them, and actors of their stand- 
ing, such inarticulateness is altogether 
unpardonable. The pebble wf De- 
mosthenes'should be instantly put om 
the “prop” list of “The Green God- 
dess and a series of early, morning 
rehearsals given with it for the ultl- 
mate benefit of thoze who really psy 
the salaries of actors. and who are at 
least entitled ‘to hear what the play 
is all about. Fe

In a Selfish Comedy 


“DEAR ME” 
(Or April Changes) 





‘The vital disease which has been 
draining the blue blood out of Bridge- 
port's (Conn.) social ideal has long been 
to me a mystery gs great as the. real 
cause of cancer to the Mayo Brothers 
of Rochester, Minn. 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? 
Perhaps to you it has not, but thére are 
moments when the call of the native 
heath drowns out the voices. of the 
mimic world. I am a Nutmeger my- 
eelf. To me, therefore, the item of 
Sreatest interest in “Dear, Me” was the 
dagnosis of what ailed Bridgeport. I 
know now. In pure joy over the dis- 
covery I set it down. 

Everything.about the play is so Con- 





not located within its confines. But I 
‘suppose Winchell Smith, permanent ad- 
dress Farmington, Conn., who doctored 


say nothing of Connecticut. She is a 
drudge in the institootion above men-

Miss La. Rue is steadily improving. 
She is neither a great actress nor 2 
hopeless actress. As soon as she real- 
izes her limitations and cultivates them 
she will do well You can hear what 
what she says and she looks and acts 
humanely. Hale Hamilton is the son 
‘who does it all. 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. Robert Fisher fs excellent 
as the fiddie player, and Camilla‘Crume 
is a typical boss of drudges. The rest 
of the cast has nothing especial to do. 
Miss La Rue sings. several ‘songs 
charmingly. The best thing about “Dear 
Me” is that it is clean, tho ordinary, 
and that it contributes to the sum of 
human knowledge the fact that the 
best families of Bridgeport never.take 
condensed milk in their tea—PAT- 
'TERON JAMES.

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

Pleasure expressed over. the return 
of Mrs. Fiske, joy over the fact that 
she now articulates so as to be heard

‘characterization. General disposition

to be ashamed of herself.

‘Which the Equity is undertaking would sppeal 
strongly to the Dramatists’ Guild. They make 
thelr Uving by the theater and, therefore, if 
they are not altogether sel0sh, the welfare of 
‘the men and women who spend thelr lives, in 
Dortraying the dramatists’ characters should ‘be 
of interest to them. But not a single suggestion 
even aympathetic comment eame along these 
Ines. Their alleged “rights” had been “in- 
‘Yaded"* and that was opparently sufficient cause 
to make them issue a condemnation of our pro- 
posed policy. The Dramatists’ Committee also 
accuses us of being un-American, If endeavor- 
fag to sccure ourselves agalost injustice and 
predatory foree, defending oar lawful rights, 
collecting money due us which we have earsed 
and forcing to their knees business buccaneers 
‘who would defraud us be un-American then the 
‘dramatists aro welcome to the term, As for us 
‘we do not know any Americans who willingly 
tolerate injustice or oppression. They dida’t in 
3770. ‘They won't now.

@ying a burleque death that was highly amos 
ine. 

Comle Mex and Prima Stella, in @ punch 
‘owl drinking bout, were good for numerous 
Jaughs from Jagletted Stella and the audience, 
‘who laughed at her and with both Max and her 
for thelr fonny lines and’ actions. Straight

Anderson, a neat appearing Irishmen, typical 
of the real thing, and what those designing, 
Dakes did at a table session with Primas Dolly

laughter.

evening dress suits and got a big laugh in a 
dialog with Straight O'Neil when be requested

Beck, vocalizing, merited the several encores 
accorded thelr original conception of putting Jaxx 
into several popular songs of the day. 

Soubret Fanny, vamping Max a la “my how 
‘Band gives me everything I cry for," worked 
‘the bit for continuous laughter and applause. 
Dimpled Dolly proved her vesratility with 
“Broadway Blues” and a full-gowned igh 
Kicking parlor dance that was admirable. 
Struight O'Nell and Comics Max and Frank 
‘worked the three-sbell lemon game far faster

The Btlibeara 





Among the many hundreds of letters I have re- 
ceived commenting on the article on “‘Actors’ Meals 
and Actors’ Making Monkeys of Themselves, for the 
Managers’ Profit and Amusement,” are some which 
tell me they do not understand what I mean by saying 
that this one advertisement shows the trend of the 
Managers’ minds, nor do they see that one advertise- 
ment or one Manager is any proof of what other 
Managers. think, and that it is not fair to damn all 
Managers because of the slip-up of one. 


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.

“If dancers were compelled to dance to zhyth-

looking for other employment—or something to

“Let us say that Jazz is that part of musical 
language necessary to express certain emotions 
and the boys who play it continue to gather 
‘the berries for sald entertainment, while the

During tho engagement of the Al G. Field 
‘Minstrels at the Lyric Theater, Allentown, Pa, 
‘a grand “mugging” contest took place on the 
rostrum of the aforesaid theater between the 
two rival Ethloplan delineators, the Famous 
Parson Jobn Healy and the celebrated Gov- 


‘vocalists, mirth’ provokers, terysichorean art- 
sista and musicians of the company. 50 ex- 
‘citing were the participants that Goversor Dan- 
Jel made a basty exit for a second, the veteran 
returning with hig famous fright wig, on which 
he had a heavy waxed string dttached, and, 
needless to say, the string worked overtime. 
‘The contest was closed somewhat abruptly by 
the appearance of Bert Swor, who threatened to 
ent the string if the delineators of Ethlopian 
pecallarities didn’t cease thelr maneuvers. The 
fracas ended immediately with Governor Daniel 
Baving an exhaustive supply of gravy in his 
‘vocabulary.

of the organization, advises that, altho 
invitations have been out to park own- 
ers and managers scarcely over two 
weeks, acceptances are reaching him 
with greater rapidity than at any other 
time in the history of the association. 

‘The reasons for such an enthusiastic 
spirit are apparent. Many questions of 
vast importance to the future of the 
park business are scheduled for dis. 
cussion—and action. - The greatest of 
‘these is probably the Blue Law agita- 
tion, which looms up so conspicuously 





———— the horizon. ‘The war tax (increase 


on the levy) readjustment is another 


problem of vast importance confronting

“And now we have a man by the 
name of DOCTOR Boynton who as- 
serts that one particular case ‘is 2 
cross section of American theatrical 
life.” In the first place I am wondering 
whether or not my brother preacher 
really is a Doctor. The reason I make 
this statement is because I know from 
my own experience that when I left 
Bethany College I thought I was the 
biggest man in the world, and I thought 
I could whip anything that came be- 
fore me, and I well remember that some 
of my sermons I gave after leaving 
school must have gone to the four 
winds of heaven. This is the great 
trouble with some preachers. They 
think THETR narrow path is the only 
path that leads to righteousness. 
‘Whereas, in the case of Dr. Boynton and 
Evangelist Dow, I can prove by the 
Scriptures that they are not teaching 
people ALL the commands as: set forth

(Ocntinued from page 42) 
cay it is the duty of the ministers of 
the Gospel and of the churches of to- 
day to try and clean up ALL this rot- 
ten work. 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.”

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. As tho Rajah ho is as 
villainous as he could ever be, but it is 
‘an apologetic villain at best. 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. It is one of
