[ABOU T Plays and Players By BIDE DUDLEY DVICES from Lew Fields say he will end his tur in “Stop This Way" shortly and come to New York to get ready for his production of Frank Mandel’s new play, “Bosom Friends,’ in which Mr. Fields {s to star. His season in the musical piece has been satisfactory, but he is eager to put the new play on because It wil! offer him the op- portunity he bas long cherished— that of playing a serious role such as one might associate with David War- field, In “Bosom Friends” be will be feen as an old German, and, while he will have many lighter moments, he will have to do some regular acting to get out of the part ali there te in ft. Lew Fields is an actor of ability and should be able to handle serious drama. At any rate, he's going to ave his fing at it, and our bet Is that Messrs. Warfleld, Louis Mann et al. will have to move over on the bench of public approval and give Lew a seat AN UNWELCOME SERENADE. ‘Temperament runs rampant through the acting profession, In af apart- ment house on One ‘Hundred and Eleventh Street, near Amsterdam Avenue, live possibly 100 stage people who get home nights anywhere from il P.M. to 6 A. M. Necessarily 10 A.M, is “the middle of the night” for them, And now comes the story. At 10 A. M. Thanksgiving Day elx boys, wearing “ragamuffin” costumes, filed into the courtyard of this par~ ticular apartment building. One of them had a bugle and the others had drums, At 10.02 A, M, they began the most unearthly serenade anybody ever heard anywhere, At 10,04 a box of grease paint grazed the head of the bugler and he ceased to bugle, At 10.05 each of the drummers had been the recipicnt of some household necessity, such as a beer bottle, a cigar box or a inutilated cheese sand- wich, At 10.06 six boys were going down the street so fast they had to run sideways to keep from flying, while from the windows of a dogen flats stuck theatrical heads which emitted theatrical profanity that seared the whole nelghborhood. T bo: had ruffied the actors’ temperament. HAD NOTHING ON HIM. A well known theatrical manager was ‘discussing the amusement buat- ness with several friends at Broad- way and Vorty-second Street this morning. “The film game is the proper "he sald, “In that game, after jeture \n, made, you never have to pay tors.” “That's nothing, pany manager nearby; actors, eith And he told " gald a atock com- "I never pay the truth, BY WAY OF DIVERSION, It's almost time for Santa Claus— the feller with the toys—to load his sleigh and make some calls on all the girls and boys. My mother told me yesterday to get a pen and ink and write him what I'd like to have, I'll do It, too, I think. It won't hurt none to write the note, But listen—Sammy Rose declares they ain't no Santa Claus, and Sammy says he knows. He says Old Santa's jist a fake—that all yer presents come from members of yer fambly, Say, he's got me guessin’ eome. Weil, anyway, I'll write the note and give It to my dad. Since mother has surgested it 1 guess I better had. But Christmas Eve I'll watoh all night and seo if Tommy's right. By golly, if he's fibbed to me there's gonna be a fight, MAE WRITES A POEM.
