4 _ The Eveni By BIDE DUDLEY 16 Friars put on their annual | public frolic Inst might at the Manhattan Opera House and the big theatre was filled to overflowing with enthusiastic people who eaw & good show. William Collier was direo- tor general, Louis Silvers, musical dl- * rector, and the dances were arranged by Jack Mason. The entertainment began with a white-face minstrel first part with half @ dozen interlooutors and twice as many endmen. Bvery time nn interlocutor arrived he Wrought slong his own endmen who had the own (or somebody else's) jokes. After the minstre) firet part was over Ted Lewis and his band went out and cleaned up and then Joe Weber, Lew Fields and William Col- lier, without oy Pras did the old, popular choking Act. Joe looked a bit gray, but Lew is younger than ever. Kary] Norman and some hule hula “maids” next performed and, barring a few spavins and ring-bones, the “ady"’ dancers looked very fetching. After an intermission a skit by George M. Cohan, called “Belle of the Bar- bers’ Ball,"’ was presented and it went over with a smash. Later Mr. Cohan and Mr. Collier appeared as two hot potatoes and bagged another big hit. Bijou Fernandes and a bevy of other beautiful girls sold) programmes in the lobby and we had to buy one—a me, we mean. There wasn't ‘any other way to get in the theatre except through the main entrance. LIZZIE STRUTS. ‘The Creole Producing Company Jaunched a new all-colored revue called Strut Miss Lizsie’’ at the Na. tional Winter Garden, Second Avenue and Houston Street, Saturday night, and !t proved a pleasing entertain- ment. Henry Creamer and Turner Layton are a large part of the show, having done most of the writing, com- Posing and staging, but there is a cho- rus of near-white girls who certainly know how to shake, One young \wom- an, Happy Johnson by name, waved such a wicked set of muscles that she stopped the show. Hamtree Harring. ton offered a pantomime poker game that was so realistic the house police- inan wanted to raid ft. Green and Burnett, in an operatic. parody, and Moore and Fields, ecoentric dancers, gathered in great gobs of applause. It is understood William and Herman Minsky are interested and may bring Liz to Broadway soon. NO MORE SHOWS FOR GIL. Gil Boag says the report that he may stage another musical comedy is) wrang. He retired from the theatrical game when he closed “Lassie.” Now Gil has the direction of just ten din- ing and dancing places, and will open the eleventh—Casties by the Bea, at Long Beach—on June 24. WILLIAMSON BUYS RIGHTS. 3. C, Williamson, Litd., has pur. chased from Kilbourne Gorton, Inc., the production rights of ‘‘The Cat and the Canary’’ for Australia, New Zea- jand and South ‘Africa.

Jones, the American, had not spoken of love and the populace fic- manded she marry. Oscar, Prince of all the Barnabas, had paid her court, but he was penu- rious. Never had he taken her to the movies. Olga’s predicament was one to evoke pity. “Well,”’ said old King Bugaboo, “it seems to me this has gone far enough."

The praise agent for “The To That. Forgot God" is, no matter else one may say of him, truthful. It seems there is a big flood somewhere in the picture in which tf “Town"' of the title is swept away raging torrents. In describing taking of this scene the P. A. doesn claim that Harry Millarde, the rector, and all the company, wait around for a real flood to come alo and be photographed. No sir! ¥ terday we were discussing the flo scenes and the praise agent tout and said: Fifteen railroad tank cars, e with a capacity of 5,000 gallons, w filled and emptied six times each di ing the filming of the flood scen Buildings were washed away, foll were swept on the crest of the flog and trees were uprooted, but all the water released from the cars. “Yes,"" he went on, ‘we owe @ to those tanks!’* “Spoken like a saloonkeeper of teryear!"’ blurted out some one, wh escaped before we could get his name JUST FLITTING.
