Opens today at 3 p.m. “Romance.” | The appearance of Doris Keane, the international star, at the Shubert- Garrick. s announced for tomorrow night in Edward Sheldon's *“Ro- mance.” Miss Keaue's portrayal of La Cavallini, has been acclaimed. one of the most superb feminine character- izagions. which have graced the stage In recent years. The story, which. in the main. takes place in New York in the sixties, con- cerns a bishop, who, in seeking to dissuade his grandson from marriage with an actress, relates the one pas- sionate love affair of his own youth. At a reception the bishop, then an | unsophisticated young rector, meets a fascinating Italian grand opera singer, famous, but frail of morals. Believing her to be all his-imagina- tion pictures, he asks her to be his wife, to which she consents, for love is mutual. Stories of her “past” reach his ears. Horrified, he accuses her and she admits them. He leaves her. Later he returns determined to reason with her, and, if possible, to save her soul. Once again in her presence, however, the:man in him yields to her allurements, but such is the great- ness of her love for him that she-re- nounces him and sends him away, forever. The company will include, in.addi- tion to Miss Keane's London leading man, Basil Sydney, A. E. Anson, Lynn Pratt, Edward Duane, Isabelle West and Esther Lyon. “Apple Blossoms.” Charles Dillingham will present the operetta “Apple Blossoms” at the National this week. beginning to- night, with a Saturday matinee only. “Apple Blossoms” was one of the notable light opera events the past season at Mr. Dillingham’s Globe The- ater in New York. Fritz Kreisler, the violin virtuoso, and Victor Jacobi, composer of “Sybil” and “The Half Moon,” provided the score, and Wil- ifam Le Baron, author of “The Very | Idea” and “I Love You,” furnished the ® | book and lyrics. The cast includes John Charles Thomas, baritone; Wilda Bennet, Per- cival Knight, the English comedian: Adele and Fred Astaire, dancers; Ed- gar Norton, Ruth Lee, Mauri¢é Darcy, Fdna Temple, Marie Berno, Frank Snyder, Thomas iFtspatrick, Brenza Dilston, Dorothy Haighton and an at- tractive chorus. ; Kreisler is said to be the first con- cert artist of his rank in this country to enter the field as a composer of operetta, although his lighter num- bers have gained wide popularity. Those who understand good music will appreciate the significance of his advent in the fleld of light opera. Vic- tor Jacobi's scores for “Sybil” and “The Half Moon” were particularly liked. X “Apple Blossoms” is produced in the customary Dillingham artistic man- ner. The scenery is by Joseph Urban, An enlarged orchestrs will interpret the sctra. “The Masquerader.” Guy Bates Post, in “The Masquerad- er,” will appear at the Shubert-Belasco Theater this week. Mr. Post is playing John Chilcote, M. P, decadent scion of a noble Eng- lish family, e drug addict and a hu- man wreck generally, and also the role of John Loder, his double in all earthly appearance, but with a mas- (tzll:hmfml - e andience, it is said, will be mys- tifled as to the mechanics, for appz:- ently before their very eyes Mr. Post changes from one to the other man. “Way Down East.” “Way Down East” begins its final week at Poli’s Theater this after at 3 o'clock. A presentation wllnlo?)z given tonight at 8:15, and two per- formances daily thereafter at 2:15 2 8:15 p./m. the remainder of the In “Way Down East” his production, David W. Grimtn pen seized upon the opportunity to re. flect life in all its moods. He has taken this story of a woman's strug- gles and the “surrounding pastoral element to reflect all shades of love and ‘life, contrasting the rural sim- plicities with city luxury; joys of righteousness with the woe of sin and shame. The mastery of his genius and art, takes advantage of nature's whims “and shows her moods also. There is happy spring. bursting into open summer, while somber autumn turns to the drab of bleak winter., Al] this gives wide range to the photog- raphers art, but these changing landscape vista s are merely in keep ing with the shifting modes of life as brought forth in the incidents of the drama. “Varieties of 1921.” This week, commencing tomorrow, at B. F. Keith's Theater, the leading attraction will be Harry Carroll ang company, including Fern Rogers, Harry Laughlin and others, in “Va. rieties ‘of 1921, composed by Mr. Carroll, with words by Ballard Mac- donald, and staging by Leon Errol.

Al Reeves’ “Joy Bells.” Burlesque fans will be interested in Al Reeves' “Joy Bells” at the Gay- ety Theater this week, not only be- cause of the personal popularity of Reeves, but also because of his rec- ord of presenting one of the foremost entertainments on the circuit. The book of “Joy Bells” is the litest work of William K. Wells. Appealing dancing numbers were arranged by Dan Dedy. Harry (Heinie) Coopey, character comedian, is the principal funster, and another mirth-provoker is Snitz Moore.

Nazimova, however, in her forthcoming produc- tion of "Alexander Dumas’ immortal love story, « “Camille,” has found a way to Eive it new meaning. In one of the bizarre settings in her production is an almost circular boudoir—quite different from _any- thing seen in the Paris of- Dumas’ day. The bed, a unique object in the room, also is circular, and thus Nazimova has .scientifically settled 'the question of “sleeping around-the clocks” L | At Theaters Next Week.

It is said to contain more entertainment than was ever before seen in a single evening, sur- passing its twenty-six predecessors. It is described as a tornado of fun and frolic, with a prodigality of mag- nificence in dressing that is stagger- ing, and differs from the usual Win- ter 'Garden extravaganza in that much of the entertainment is made up of travesties on important dra- matic successes, such as “East is West,” “The Jest” and “Tumble In.” Of the twenty scenes, one is said to be transcendently spectacular.

'RITZ KREISLER is said to take a boyish interest in every detail of his first-born musical comedy. “Apple Blossom: he loves the atmosphere of “behind the scenes.” To him there is nothing remarkable in the thought of a man who has held the highest rank in the musical watld sitting down to produce popular melo- ies, “I love light music,” he says, “and I have always wanted to write an op- eretta. The success of ‘Apple Blos- soms’ has been, of course, most grati- fying.” The violinist eays, earnestly, “Mr. Jacobi has worked as hard as I for its Success and he must have, at least, equal credit.” < Mr. Jacobi, in his turn, declares that' he is very proud of the privilege of being associated with the famous ge- nius of the violin in his first venture in the field of musical comedy. “[ am charmed with Mr. Kreislers music,” he says:. “Between his songs it is_impossible to choose, ‘Am I in Love? and the ‘Letter Song’ are de- lightful.
