ALL BROADWAY = |S: Everywhere in Theatre Dis- trict People Are Saying and Doing Strange Things. IT 1S A NOVEL SEASON. Vacant Houses, Cafes and Even a Church Used by Busy Stage Folk. BY CHARLES DARNTON. Bverybody along theatrical Broadway these busy days seoma either to be go- fag ¢0 of coming from rehearsal, For thas matter, the scene of this particu- far form of activity is by no means) confined to that district where a butld- ing without a five-story, six-colored @estric sign looks as though it had been fearfully slighted. G@o-as far as you like off the bruised es well as beaten track and you'll still fun the risk of walking right into a group of strange people, saying strange things, looking strange things and do- ing etrange things. as far uptown as One Hundred and Tenth atreet, for example, there's @ new apartment house, not yet ready, for people eager to pay rent that is for the moment dedicated to dramatic art. Part of it has been thrown open to actors who couldn't find any other place in which to rehearse. Drawing room, room and kitchen are happily fitted to the domestic comedy they have in hand, and eo they're acting all over the place, everywhere but in the tce- chest. Not many blocks away fs a church, I'm told, that is making @ Iit- tle vacation money in the eamo way. Here, at least, church and stage have ‘at last got together! More “novelties” are beng offered in the present rehearsal season than ever before. This fact was proved the other day, when an enterprising theatrical manager, who wears the same size col- lar as George M. Cohan, walked into the dining room of a well known hotel and ordered—a rehearsal. “When the guests aren't eating there we're re- hearsing two of our compantes in the room," he confessed. “But don't give it away. If the guests knew about it tify might want us to give ‘em a free show during the dinner hour.” ‘As usual, of course, all of the thea- tres and halls, not to mention hail bedrooms, roofs and fire-escapes, are given up to rehearsals of plays, eongs, dances and turkey trots. If you hear & woman singing anywhere within ear- shot of Long Acre Square you can make up your mind that she means business, pattoularly “show business." WOMAN TRIES HER VOICE IN ‘ THEATRE LOBBY.
