: Theaters Part 3—6 Pages fmusements e’Pheater ELL MEANING, but probably misguided, writers of the theater have waxed furious over plays and photoplays that seemed to them to violate the conventions of decent living. Managers and picture producers have been put upon the defensive, and exhibitors who have invested their money for a profit have protested against criticism and comment that brought them injury. Any business man would. Furthermore, it is generally regarded by managers as an evidence of keen business sense to provide that for which there is un- mistakable demand. If what is provided happens to displease some, have they a right to complain when'it is demanded by others? In other words, who is to be the judge of what should or should not be served to the public, especially in the matter of entertainment? Who is the keeper of the municipal morals? This question came prominently to attention dur- ing the week. “Ladies’ Night,” the A. H. Wqods farce, was precisely what every one who reads the advance notices expected it to be. It was a typical Woods farce. Mr. Woods believes in delivering his message in unmistakable terms. He has been quoted as saying: “If I tell the public what I have to offer and it crowds the theater, I should worry. Those who do not like that sort of entertainment have the privilege of staying away.” If they go and are displeased, who is to blame? Whose duty is it to shield a public that does not wish to be shielded? * k k X NEARLY all the plays presented in Washington during a theatri}:zl season have been first presented elsewhere, and competent critics, it is assumed, have passed judgment upon them. True, critics may differ in opinion, but the general trend of the criticism is such as to enable the average theater patron to form a fair opinion of the character of the shows advertised. It is customary in Washington to review the first per- formance of every play presented at the theater. It is the practice also to publish advance notices of the producer or manager who presents them. Often the dramatic columns tell how the shows have been received elsewhere and give details as to their story and their general character. 1f it be true that the standards of public taste have changed, is it not the duty of that portion of the public which gives its sanction to the change to furnish whatever may be due as explanation or defense? * kX * X UBLIC taste is a matter of culture. The patronage of certain classes 3 of theatrical entertainment in recent years indicates a marked change in public taste. Judged by a comparison of the standards of today with those of, say, twenty-five years ago, there has been a very radical change not only in tastes theatrical, but in other things that enter more inti- mately into the lives of the people. Matrons and maids of the eighties probably would stand aghast at the feminine fashions of today. They would be equally shocked at many other things. But does it argue that the people of today are less sensitive to modesty than those of a quarter century or more back? Custom makes things tolerable and even popu- lar. Conditions that arose during the great war forced upon the women of today the fashions of which some now complain. The women accepted those conditions and bravely made what sacrifice was necessary to con- form to them. Now, if you please, some of the men are affecting to be shocked. The trouble, it is believed, is largely with the men themselves, not with the women. * % ¥ ¥ UT can the same line of argument be applied to the change in charac- ter of public entertainment? Much of that change also is due to war conditions, which invited a laxity in manners, if not in morals, that would not be tolerated in normal times. The world always has been more or less divided as to what may and what may not be properly discussed in public. ith the development of the motion picture came a flood of problem plays, each more. suggestive than its predecessors. Then came the demand for a public censor. But the problem play is not the only thing in the theater that offends the finer sensibitities. - What -shall be said of the evolution of the ballet of grace and charm, an almost indi pensable auxiliary of music in its highest attainment of art, into the still graceiul and charming, but daring, ensemble of the revue and of musical comedy? Take, for instance, that beautiful galaxy of feminine activity, the Sunshine Girls, one of the great charms of Charles Dillingham’s splen- did musical comedy, “Good Morning, Dearie,” and a dancing ensemble. Ask our grandmothers of today what they think of it from the stand- point of modesty. And yet the modern stage has not presented a more exquisite creation along the same line. Audiences of distinction vigor- ously applauded their performance with delight until the poor girls were almost exhausted in their effort to supply the demand. * * * THE same Mr. A. H. Woods who set the critics by'the ears trying to determine whether his “Ladies Night a Turkish Bath” was good or bad_presented, during the week, a play by Eugene Walters and Mar- jorie Chase, which the critics generally praised for its construction and the manner in_which it was played, but wondered if it were proper to make the sacrifice of a wife’s virtue to save the husband she loved a theme for dramatic presentation to the general public. There you are! See how easy it is to drift from reliable moorings into treacherous waters. Where shall t!m line be drawn that separates the permissible from the forbidden? Who is to be the judge when the public disagrees? Manners as well as times change. Education ig the remedy, not legislation. * *)& * RS. FISKE is one of the few artists of the old school who remain to bring the charm that once hovered around the theater. She may not be always fortunate in the plays selected for her presentation, but always there is the assurance that what she brings is wholesome drama that will enable her more or less to reveal her splendid art.of the theater. “Wake Up, Jonathan” is pleasant entertainment. Perhaps the more car ful disciplinarians in the home may have chafed at the apparent unruli- ness of the children who did so well otherwise. Perhaps Marion Blake was not the ideal wife. The authors must take the criticism for these faults, if they were faults, but they can proudlyelaim that Marion was a sensible wife, and that she wrought a good work in her own imperfect way. The play demonstrated one thing—that frail femininity is not the | i only source of true drama. * k % * 'AM H. HARRIS, who presented Mrs. Fiske, in “Wake Up, Jonathan,” announces another comedy for the week of November 28, in “Little Old New York,” a story of the Manhattan of 1810, by Rida Johnson Young, peopled with characters bearing familiar names borrowed from noted families of New York. A COURSE of lectures presenting Ruth Draper, “In Original Character Sketches”; Raymond Robbins, on “World Limitation of Armaments or World Revolution—Which?”; Louis K. Anspacher, on “Drama as a Social Force in a Democracy”; Joseph C.

This sort of thing is a little better done here than it has been in recent seasons—far more racily and more cleverly than it was done in ‘The Gold Diggers' and immeasurably better than it is done yin Back Pay’ The plot, it is said, ! “is all about a pure divorcee who gives herself to a multimillionaire for safekeeping.? The critic adds, “It is the misfortune of the lovely and plfntive Marie Doro that her sole coffcern is with the twists and turns of the aforesald plot.”” *“The Love Letter,” a musical com- edy, with book and lyrics by William Le Baron, and music by Victor Jucobi, based on’ Franz Molnar’s “The Phan. tom Rival,” with John Thomas. “A finely caparisoned and generally opulent musical production, whose description makes adjectives seem puny. It has a rich Jacobl score and s a highly enjoyable entertain- ment” Though not without its mo- ments of merriment, it is not rich in comedy, but is rirong In its musical score and setting. Mr. Thomas con- tribytes some half dozen numbers in his rich and ringing bariton ‘“Main Street,” adapted from Sin- clair Lewis' novel, by Harvey O'Hig- gins and Harriet Ford, well preserves the essence of its idea and story, and if, as a play, it is not the epic that it is as & novel, it is at least more than 2 good show. It is a wonder work of condensation, dilution and selection of incidents to be high lighted. “Cne of the things that the play discovers for you, if you did not discover it yourself in the book, is that Carol play in which a wife's eyes are open- ed to the philanderings of her hus- ,band.

Padre Francelen, an old priest of French ex- tracfion, has brought up Marie, an or- phan girl of great beauty and char- acter. She is bethrothed to Jimmie Taylor, a young trader, who, with the padre, 'is ‘obliged to go to town for the night. Maria is left alone with an Indian girl, Blue Quail, who first goes to her mother's cabin. Maria is singing over her work when Ra Mobley, a ragged tramp, enters the house. ' Maria gives him supper. His head is bleeding, and this she bathes and binds up. Mobley is an escaped convict, his crime having been the murder of his young wife and her lover, whom he found together. He| declares her act has made him the enemy of all her sex. He attacks Maria and then escapes. The play is said to have a delightfully agreeable ending. B. F. KEITH’S—Sophie Tucker.

WHAT THE PUBLIC LIKES. \ ITH Mrs. Fiske in “Wake Up, Jonathan,” last week, and Miss Billie Burke coming tomorrow night with “The Intimate Strangers,” a new comedy by Booth Tarkington, the optimistic theatergoer, who, maybe, isn't in any sense of the word a purist, but who just doesn't care to listen to the talk or watch the go- ings on in the recurrent bedroom farce or sex problem play, is en: couraged to hope that possibly the | producing managers, or some of them at any rate, have at least remembere his_existence. g There are men—intellectual, edi- cated men, too—who like to read a thrilling detective story now and then, even if it isn't written in a style that entitles it to be classed as “literature.” But only now and them. They don't want to confine their fiction reading exclusively to sort of stuff. They want a bit of Thackeray, say, or Dickens, or Gissing, or Galsworthy, or May Sin- clair, or even Meredith, once in a while anyway. The publishers know this and they supply both kinds. But_apparently the producing man- ager in the theater thinks that all his patrons are tarred with the same brush. He produces a bedroom farce or a sex problem play and the public flocks to see it. he says, “that’s what the public likes!” And he con- tinues to dish it out‘to them, and all his feilow producers, envious of the money_ they see rolling into his cof- fers, follow in_his lead until some theatergoers—they may be in the featured with the Ed Wynn Carnival; Emily Darrell in At the Rehearsal”; Jack Conway and in “The Cellar, Moore, recently company. Donald sisters, in “Songs of the Mo- " and Jock McKay, a Scotch comedian. The Shubert topical week- ly and a Bud Fisher film comedy will round out the bill. Today at 3 and 8:15 p.m., the bill of the past week, headed by Emily Ann Wellman and the Brendel and Bert Revue, will be presented. COSMOS—“Pearls of Pekin.” Two scenes, one laid in a Chinese laundry, the other in the Palace of Dreams, gorgeously staged in setting and costumes, ,and with a cast of bright comedians, headed by Billy Bence and @ host of pretty girls, ought to make “The Pearls of Pe. kin,” the novel musical comedy an- nounced for this week at the Cosmos Theater, an unusual attraction. Cou- pled_with it in the stellar light will be Corinne Carbonne and company. with a unique “audience act,” spar: kling with comedy, songs and ma terial for laughter. Manager Brylaw. ski_heralds them as fine attractions. Others will include Nancy Boyer and company in “Mary Lou,” a de- lightful new playlet for the star of “Quaker Girl"; Hector, a dog wonder, and his canine friends in a novel spe- cialty; Otto, Boaz and Otto, burlesque magicians and jugglers, exciting won- der and creating laughter, and Foster and Joyce, versatile musicians, with an attractive program. The added matinee feature, another first-run photoplay, will be Univer- sal's Hoot Gibson picture, “Action, which is described as five reels of fun and thrills. Hoot is the new western film star and they say he is a corker. “Officer Cupid,” a Mack Sennett laugh- maker; Cartoon Comics and Scenics and the International News are other attractions at all performances. A fine bill is promised today, start- ing at 3 p.m. STRAND—“Dance Creations.” A spectacular and unusual charac- ter dance divertissement will be pre- sented as the featured attraction at the Strand Theater this week, be- ginning today, by Edward Stanisloff and company, composed of a quintet of graceful and charming girls, in heir latest whirl of motion and color, “Dance Cregtions.” Foley and O'Neill, “A Couple of Nifties,” will offer fifteen minutes of wholesome laughs and fun. Others will include Preston and Ysobel in dances, acrobatics and musical num- bers; Blanche Boyd and Freddie King, the former as “The Chameleon Girl, | minority. but still they deserve some ! consideration—grow so tired, not to say nauseated, that they quit going to the theater altogether.

It is said to paint a portrait dominant and unforgettable. The cast includes Clyde Fillmore, Edwin Stevens, Lionel Belmore, Law- son Butt and others. A special overture, Allen’s “Dance of the Skeletons,” described as a Halloween episode, and Von Tilzer's “Dapper Dan,” will be orchestral se- lections. Short films complete the bill. GAYETY—“Big Jamboree.” This week the Gayety Theater will present “The Big Jamboree,” by James E. Cooper, well known producer ‘of extra good shows. Frank Hunter is the chief comedian, and he is said to send laughs over the footlights with the rapidity of a machine gun. The story is presented in two acts and nine scenes, each a marvelous crea- tion. The show claims to have cor- nered the market in catchy songs, and the girls know how to sing them, ac- companied by dancing that is said to be_exceptionally good. - The ‘cast includes Frank Hunter, Frank X. Silk, Jack Gibson, Lelia Ricard, the three Robins, Helen An- drews, Anna Thornton and Mildred Holmes. CAPITOL—“Kandy Kids.” One of the best shows of the season is promised by the Capitol Theater this week, in Lena Daley's “Kandy Kids. The offering is in two acts and seven scenes and the company is headed by Lena Daley, with Jules Jacobs, as- sisted by Alex Saunders as the fun- maker. Others include Babe Healy, Madeline Davis, Grace Robertson and John Grant. The show is sald to con- tain many startling comedy situations, original with pantomine, acrobatics and several specialties. A “beauty chorus” will be out in front throughout the performance. < Arcade Auditorium. A gorgeous masked halloween car- nival will bs staged at the Arcade tomorrow night, with specially pre- | pared orchestral program, magnifi- Cent decoratipns, a plentiful supply of noisemakers, masks and confetti, and novel lighting effects.
