The show is one of the big things for the coming season, and its try-out at Atlantic City doubtless showed it in form for the metropolis. The Garrick Players at the house whose name they bear, however, wil. e us the “stage version” of D. W. Griffith’s photo- play, “Way Down East,” as the press agent puts it, and thus effaces the memory of the author of one of the greatest plays of human nature ever given to the stage. Mr. Griffith made it exceptionally fine from the point of the photoplay, and in all probability his production will be re- membered when even the playwright who made it and the original com- pany which thrilled the country with it are forgotten. Such is fame. The coming of “Little Ann Suter” to the Cosmos is worthy of passing mention. “Little Ann” began her theatrical career in Washington, her home town, and made quite a reputation’ as a child entertainer. She then launched upon the tide that carried her out to the great world theatrical, and now returns a child of fame, one of the great stellar lights of big-time vaudeville. It is true, before they conceded her this honor in the metropolis she had to be “discovered in northern New York,” but in spite of the discovery, when they gave her an act worth while she showed them all what a clever Washington girl can do. x X X * E TIMES SYMPOSIUM grows apace, and while it is unquestion- ably space consuming from a_newspaper standpoint, it is gradually letting the cat out of the bag. George Arliss has the retort courteous jor the managers who submerged him last week. He generously takes upon himself the blame of creating a wrong impression in two instances, for he doesn’t believe the stage is at its lowest level and going to the dogs, nor does he mean to imply that the companies which would sup- port ti@traveling star would be on the same plane as the average stock company of today. He says he had in mind a much higher standard, such as groups of players that made the old Boston Museum famous. He believes the scenery might be simpler for plays under such a system, but he doubts that that would be either a calamity or retrogression, and he firmly believes that the local companies would or should be com- posed of actors at least as good as those supporting the star in travel- ing companies now for which the two-dollar scale is charged. The mat- ter of costumes, he admits, suggests a difficulty, but not a very grave one. With the men it would be easy, and he knows of one actress now who has at least twenty good stage dresses, so that perhaps it would not be so difficult for the women after all. He pertinently suggests that, following the law of supply and demand, the reason that some actors’ salaries are so high is perhaps because of a scarcity of that kind of actor, and follows this up by suggesting that the managers now in creating casts for plays go after and develop types of players who be- come specialists in their line, and are, therefore, in a position to demand salaries in proportion to their playing value. And the very success of the type actor is apt to cause producing managers to visualize types as he reads a play, and also a tendency on the part of playwrights, “unin- tentionally, perhaps,” to write stage types. He points out the unfair- ness of killing off the kind of local company he suggests with companies that have heen cast with especial reference to a given play. His “come back” indicates that Mr. Arliss is pretty well informed, and is able to defend his original proposition courteously, but convincingly. * X k k LAWRENCE GRANT, a participant in the symposium, goes back at Mr. Woods by asking if he means to insinuate that plays which have attained a life of but four or five weeks failed because of the high salaries paid the actors. He also discusses pre-war salaries, and says the salaries of actors were raised during the war less than in any other salary-earning profession or trade, and that whatever rise there may have been during the last few years was not due so much to the war as to a rival'in8iistry with men who had the wisdom to pay their artists a fair and proper wage. This gentleman then proceeds to demolish a sal- ary of $135 a week in a way to make those who receive it shudder, and he adds that the salary, week in and week out, paid to the average actor, outside the ¥tar and leading man, is about a week, while it is very, very rarely that a producing manager appears in a bankruptcy court. Mr. Grant closes a rather forceful argument with the suggestion thas the manager who seeks actors at pre-war wages cease to expect war-time profits, but rather be satisfied to accept a profit equal to that of the old pre-war days. * k * k WILLAMENE WILKES, for two years director of the Majestic Theater Stock Company at Los Angeles, Calif., throws a little light on what ,a stock company can do by citing what hers did. The standard of act- -ing, she says, can stand comparison with many performances she has seen of- Broadway “The theatergoer,” she adds, “in a smaller city, un- derjth sent system, sees the star supported by a company of h’ored t of whom were not in the New York cast, giving a careless ce and with a production shabby from much use, whereas undet #he plan of Mr Arliss the same siar would appear with a com- pany of enthusilstic actors, inspired by a new play and the opportunity of appearlng"wl!h the star, and with a new, especially built production.” She adds: “The conditions I have outlined are not peculiar to Los Angeles; there are many stock companies in other cities working along the same lines and getting the same results. There is no reason why they _:hould_not exist everywhere, and, given these conditions,” Mr. Arliss’ plan is entirely feasible, and would represent a decided ad.vznce. for the American theater outside cf New York city.” * * ¥ % “IHAEEYER_:he ;nel:its of the controvers ~now waging in the theater, nd in spite of the sorrowful wails over last s i i : wel]]as the high cost of production and of transporte:tisgxrll,sitb?ss,::i:ish‘: 5;:::‘:;7; ;“Ig:lg:d ‘11111 'provu‘{(mg Iin“fiéal comedies for the nation ‘are g their work, and a flood of new producti ill gulf the country when the weather conditions e it sats toistan c y wh make it safy :ii;::ni:?:;it :l;lhe ner{v ‘sheasbon'f used to begin laté in lhe.?atl mNos:v": 2 ill mar! e beginning of some new se: nd will follow shortly afterward.

A specimen of this ancient instrument was fourd in an old curiosity shop. > The bus that meets all the trains in the -seat of Wallingford's daring en- terprises, is a type of vehicle that the coming generation of city folks will never see again. It is the old-fashioned four-seated buggy with the spangled hood which Abe Gunther, the Batties- burg baggage master and hotel porter, drives from the Palace Hotel to the one train a day. = The same buggy becomes the car riage of state in which George Wash- ington Battles rides through the town in the demonstration in honor of the arrival -~ of Rufus Wallingford.
