Until she appears In a new play In January, Lthcl Barrymore, one of the latest recruits, will appear In audevlllc Kitty Gordon and Elsie Jnnls hae been headllncrs. Recently, nt KelthV In this city, we saw Mile. Gcneo dance delight fully, and Blanche Ring sing captKatlngly In a sketch MKs Ring declared, while she was horo, that sho enjojs her audevllle performances more than those In musical comedies. The en cores were more heartily vociferous! Douglass Fairbanks, Edwin Stevens, Carter de Haven, Clifton Crawford are all traveling the circuit. Among other top-notch stars there aro booked for ippearanccs at Keith's, Emma Cams. Ger trude Hoffmann, in her dances; Nora Bayea, Wllla Holt Wakefield and, great among singers, David BLspham, tho baritone. Speaking with Manager Jordan, of Keith's, yesterday, we commented on the Increasingly high standaid of vaudeville entertainments and thu unusual galaxy of dramatic stars booked thit. season. "Well, I'll tell jou," said Mr. Jordan. "AVhen Madam Bernhardt went into audevllle somo years ago sho opened tho field to stage stars. after Bernhardt had appeared others felt they could enter vaudeille and not lose caste. Actors find vaudeville advantageous. Thoy get consid erable advertising, play before greater numbers of peoplo and make friends, who. later, when they appear In plnjs, go to see them. Moreover, thoy pla only 15 minutes to a half hour each day which means llttlo work compared to play ing In drama." One of the reasons for the supcrexccllence of many audcvllle attractions this season Is that big European vaudevllllans, on account of the war, have come to America. Then, with tho theatricals affected by the business depression, many producers are holding off Important pro ductions until January, when they look for a reaction. Until then stars havo found lt profit able, both financially and In keeping before the public, to appear In skits and sketches FLASHES FROM "STARS" Harold Chapln. the author of "The Marriage of Columbine," whose whereabouts Charlea Hopkins, director of the Punch and Judy Thea tre, has been trying to establish for over two months, has been located.
