Main 6797 AMUSEMENTS NATIONAL—Margaret Lawrence in “Secrets.” Many a good thing and many s bad have come out of famous old London town. But when “Secrets” traveled across the Atlantic to open last night at the Ndtional Theater the balance in favor of the good took a great leap in the right direction. Not a little of the tribute, however, i3 due to the altogether delightful Miss Mar- garet Lawrence, whose characteriza- ition of a loving wéman, from the day }of her elopement—when the ®ood Queen Elizabeth was little more than a girl herself—until today, showed remarkable facility of range and sureness of touch. The story of “Secrets” is the story of a lifetime—a married lifetime—and the secrets are those shared by » man and his wife, secrets from t* rest of the world, secrets that om one man and one woman know, sé- crets that bind them together, or se- crets that cast them apart. It'is tfe story of a love that grows perfect| through experience and practice, as the quaint little old lady explains in the final sceme. It is the story of a loving woman who never wavers and of & strong man who is ruthless in his fight for love, money and power—a passionate man who strays to other women, but Who never ceases to love his wife Because of her great love, and his, the woman condones the man’s fauits. “Secrets” s quaint, it is dramatic It contains both humor and pathos. It runs, in fact, the whole gamut of emo- tions. It brings to mind the lines of the old song, which ran: “Love that lasteth till ‘tis old, Fadeth not in haste.” The authors of “Secrets” Rudolph Beiser and May Edington, have taken a leaf from those older novelists who helieved the story of love does not be- n_with the courting and end with the ding, but that it begins with thej sdding and ends with death. In ecrets” they have picked four dramatic dents in the lives of Sir John and Lady Cariton. In all four Lady Carlton 18 found at the right hand of her lover and husband, In the first, back in 1867, she is the blushing maiden of eighteen, who defles her parents to elope to America with the young clerk from her father's counting house. In 1870, she is the wife of a rancher in Wyoming, who does not hesitate to kill to save the life of her man. In 1888, she is grande dame, who defles the world to stand beside her husband, entangled in the meshes of a love affalr with noto- rious woman of fashion. And thirty- four years later, ehe is the gray-haired, fragile old lady, who helps him to vic- tory in his fight with deatlr. 1f there ia a criticism to be made of “Secrets” it is the criticlam that might be leveled at all productlors which show to the auditors conditions as they are today, and then seek, by the artificinl means of a dream. te reveal the story of the past. In a measure, the auditor knows in ad- vance what is to be the outcome of cach scene, each situation. The pro- logue In the new play serves, it is true, to give the name, but with the epilogue transformed into a final act the same end could have been accom- plished. Miss Lawrence. in hoop skirt, which required yards of material that might well bankrupt the modern girl, witk hee reddish gold hair in the fashion. able wringlets of the day, captivated the large audience that greeted her |1ast night.

Othcrs in the cast include Orlando Daly, the pompous father of Lillian she lose her charm of the frontiers- the early Victorian days: Brennard. the sentimental maiden aunt: Mrs. Edmund Gurney, as the mother; Dimer Grandin, Norman Houston and Shirley B. Pink. The settings and costuming of “Secrets” ihave been admirably executed and have their peculiar part in the pro- duction. B. F.

Aunt Jemima has a powerful, yet sweet voice, and in putting over the different ‘“‘mammy” songs makes them effective through the use of the well known southern accent and a make-up of realistic naturalness. A well equl jazz band adds strength to the number.

The trio demonstrated that it is onfi of the strongest vocal acts in vaude- ville. Jack Wiison is always funny and es the instinct of knowing what the people want, so that his little revue, with many laughs, creates no of ap- plause. Jack made a neat speech in favor of the Wilson endowment fund that was well recelved, his seriousness and earnestness, having the desired ef- | fect of bringing out the pocketbooks for ; contributions as the plates were passed by_the ushers.

The later still retains| that marvelous double voice that always | wins tumultous applause. 1If this couple could be persuaded to do their comedy | work with serious faces, thelr act would be_strengthened. Dainty Edith Clasper heads a dancing act of cleverness and beauty. She is assisted by the singing of Charles Ben- nett and the dancing of the Trado Twins. Miss Casper is a graceful dancer and her costumes are in good taste. Many curtain calls rewarded her efforts last night. Jack Little plays the piano well, his Imitations making a big hit. Harvard, Holt and Kendrick open the bill with a novel basket ball stunt played on bicycles. Lillian Leitzell, in | an “aerial frolic, demonstrated wonder- | ful muscular development on the fiying rings and slack rope.

GAYETY—*“Sliding” Billy Watson Billy Watson. the comedian with the siippery feet. is at the Gayety Theater this week, with his funny sllde 'n* everything. To say that he still retains his popularity is to put it mildly, for last night's audience at the seating capacity. Watson is a “Dutch” type of cemedian, along the line made famous by Joe Weber of Weber & Fields, and he can alway. be depended upon to furnish a laugh- sble entertainment. Although he has been on the burlesque stage for a good many years, he always man- ages to carry his act with some new sketch, this scene in the trenches, an amusing comedy entitled “In Back of the Front.” in which he is assisted by. Joe Manne. Assisting Billy Watson are 2 num- ber of clever entertainers, among them Lillian Harvey, a singer for whom & new title has been coined— “cheerupodiste”: Inez de Verdler, prima_donna; Ethel de Veaux, sou- brette; Frank Mallahan, Bennle Platt, | | Charles Hoback and Tony Curley.
