He is to appear here in ‘harles Dillingham’s production of Bull Dog Drummond.” He has the rolo_of Dr. Lakington in the famous nglish thriller and made his first in_America a3 the Count Fanny's First Play,” written by orge Bernard Shaw.

Mr. Croker-King first turned to the stage when he was manager for a v at Oxford. When he at the university and had taken his degree at Lincoln College he went direct to the stage to play Pvemalion to the Galatea of Miss Dorothea Baird (Mrs. H. B. {Irving)—truly a daring beginning. 1 r he became r Robert Tree's ! understudy, and to that experience he says he owes much of his success. He has one unique record. He played the juvenile roles in virtually all of i the Shakespearean plays presented by rank Benson. and in later years ihe returned to Sir Frank's company to play the low comedy parts.

BY ELENORE DE WITT EBY. HERE were many costumes at the local theaters last week, some 0dd and fantastic, others 50 extreme that they were absurd, but there were few smgrt gowns such as milady in the audience would care to wear. At Keith's, for instance, there was dainty Helen Storey, who tripped out in five or six creations, each one shorter than the one before, until the climax was reached in a wedding gown. This consisted of a tight satin bodice in- crusted with pearls, short satin knickers edged with silver flounces and a bouffant ruffle which did not pretend to cover the knickers. Of course, there was a veil, too, but it trailed unnoticed was the least {m: the costume. Perhaps Miss Storey wished to give the audience an {llus- tration of what long skirts saved us from. And goodness, mercy me, how shocked grandmother would have been had she seen that old-fashioned frock! The poke bonnet, decollete neckline, quaint bodice, mitts and pantalettes were all authentic enough, but the hoopskirt scarcely reach the knees. Imagine a belle of the six- ties walking around the “square” of an old southern town In & knee- length crinoline! What's in a Name? A NOTHER mystery has been solved. This time it is the correct way to pronounce Bebe Daniels’ name. The voung star arrived in New York recently after completing work in the new Penrhyn Stanlaws produc- tion, “Singed Wings,” and found her- self addressed with a variety of for- eign and American pronunciations of her name that was bewildering. Miss Daniels offers no objection -to her friends’ use of the name Bebe, but her mother decided that if that name { was to be used it should be used cor- so she offered this explana- 5 d ver since she was a baby we have called her that.

It is a play that has excited the widest range of sentiment and dis- cussion. apparently dividing the New York critical fraternity into two camps of opinion; and at the same time it is a piay which has made a notable appeal to the seat-buyifg public. In view of the wide discus- slon attending its production in New York, it seems of interest to outline certain facts concerning the play. Of particular interest, perhaps, is the fact that the local ‘management will pay for the Washington rights to this comedy something like ten times the highest amount of royalty -ever alld before for a repertory produc- on, a It Is the custom of the theater, n_institution, to offer a play in w York at prices from $3.50 to $3 & seat, and, in the event of its success, to send it on tour for two or three years at similar pric When the play has outlived its ‘value a touring attraction, it is then with- drawn and the stock righte to the manuscript are sold or leased at a comparatively low figure.
