Cohan broke two resolutions at tho Astor
Theatre In Now York Christmas night.
One! was his. announcement at the time
of ''Broadway Jones" that he had put
his dsnolnn; slippers away. ,Tho' other
vrasS Ills' "retirement" from the' stage las't
spring. Bu$- nobody appears to carct .for

Martin Brown and half of tho Dolly'
Twins In. the first real travesty New Xork.
.has seen since tho das of Wpbpr &
yields' MUsle Hall '
XilHo tho "revues" that became so pop
ular in Englomt last year. It rejdlccs Ih
in ifrelamatory title. "Hello. Broadway 1"
Plotless Itself, U burlesques tho plotless
nes of musical comedy. The reviewer
Of the Tribune thus explains It: "Tho
plou it -was learned nt tho very becln
nlnif. waa concealed In a hatbOX.' T6 get
at the plot (?r the hotbox) the many
principals pursued Cohan and Collier
through a labyrinth of tho moBt dellght
iulljV clover travesties on almost all of
the? current plays on Broadway. And
then1, at the very end, the hatbox was
round to be quite empty."
The Cohan review is not so much a
matter of satirizing- acting and imitating
the factors the methods of tho Weber
fields as a burlesquo of plays and play
wright Even Mr. Cohan's own
"Miracle Man" cornea in for ridicule
"The Hcenes," says tho ,TImes- "shift
with dlzzylwr rapidity. The great 'court
room scene or 'On Trial,' fof instance, Is
proceeding; smoothly enough when one
of tho witnesses rings the bell on his
wrist wafch. The juror rUn off with
the! Jury box1 and in tho orifuston the
place becomes another room, where the
dreamer In 'My Lady's Dress' goes to
sleep. Then amid sudden darkneae and
to thunderous noise of stage ma
'chlrfery, she la transformed to the day
dreamer in 'The Phantom Rival,' brasen
!y Inviting- Leo Dltrichstofn to come in
from the street. And in walks the
familiar figure which turns oUt to be
Mr Cohan himself (very thinly dis
guised). He Is Inclined to admit that it is
a bad Imitation, but ha thinks it's about
time for Mm to get even for the Imita
tion's of him that every one has felt
ires" to .give these many years past."
'The reviewers agree that "Hullo,
- Broadway I" is tho best fun on that
crowded thoroughfare.
Henry Arthur Jones Tries Again
TlTough failure after fatluro has piled
up , since 'The Hypocrites," Henry
Arthur -Jones keeps' on, trying. And mah
agara keep on producing his tries. The
latest la called "The Lie" and came' to
tho American stage Christmas Eve,
whqn Margaret Illlngton acted it. at the
Harris Theatre. New York.
As with most of Mr, Jones' later
plays, "craftsmanship" and all the
falderal of the successful, playright of
tho.lDth century stick out far more
strongly than life and Ita people and
Ita .purposes. In the present casp, lie
seems to have achieved some exciting
climaxes, but only by constructing an
elaborate and not very original chain
of events,
The ilo Is the He of a younger slater,
i tyf puts off the motherhood of her own
; legitimate ohlld upon her sister. The
v lu,t' according to Mr Jones, Is the
loaejotia, jpuitor to the Innocent slater, the
v Wn!njr of the same suitor by the Hor,
anJt- flr.aHy, of course, a great denuncia
tion noane when the truth comes out.
The reviewer of the Times, speaking
of- the elaborate and cautious ingenuity
o ho play, says 'The whole structure
rau upon a false statement and the truth
lk kept hidden from all those It most
vitally and tragically concerns, not mere
ly through tho'siierice at the Uar. but by

The Usual Thing1
The third of the five pew productions
that blessed New York the past week was
a musical comedy after the usual style,
"Lady -Luxury." The Tribune gives a
bare and sufficient outllno of Its scant
virtues! "Miss Claire Is pleasing to look
upon In a gentle way. ' Hlio has a tiny
volco which Is ocar and true, nnd she
dances agreeably, , I'erhnps that Is all
that one should ask of A 'featured' player,
but Jt scarcely Seems enough for 'Lady
Luxury ' That mhslcal piece, so the pro
gram Informs, hns been made as to book
and lyrics by Tilda Johnson loung, nuthorf
of severnt plays, nnd by William Schroe-
uer, as composer. It has situations amusing-
la themselves and entertaining llhes
set to ambitious muslo. If neither scorn,
to lie mada the most of,, perhaps repeated
performances by tho actors will supply
the necessary dash and go which now
seem lacking."
. Lady Lnxin-y has been brought up
vory strictly by nn olil-fashloned uncle.
WJien she nnnllysecurcs a Jeweled purse
of her own' It opens wide for all the Hfx
urles of the season, and as the tlucats fly
out troubles fly In. Titled suitors, stolen
Jowols, a lovpr from Texas who disap
proved of nil tho fripperies and trjes to
save the maid from all her extrava
gances. Of course, the true and noble
hero with sombrero nnd bad manners
wins In tha cndi
"Tonight's tho Night"
Before retarding tho last"- of the new
Broadway productions It Is enough to
say of the next to the last, Lydta Lopo
kowa. the Hussion dancer, In a mild lit
tle comedy. "Justj Herself," by Ethel
Watts Mumford, that It proved no more
exciting In Now York than It had In
Boston. Its mild little life will probably
bo short.
Tor contra, the English musical com
edy. "Tonight's the Night," which
brought a great many very skilful Eng
lish players to the Shubert, may live a
good while. And It may not. The re
viewers are none too definite. They have
praise for the English chorus and for
George OrossmllK. James Ulakoly, Mau
rice Farkoa nnd Emmy Wohlen, but they
are not so exuberant over Mr. nubcnB
music or the book.
Tho story of "Tonight's the Night."
says tho Times, Is tho story of the pld
farce, "Pink Dominoes-," which has been
done- over for this occasion by Fred
Thompson. There are two acts. The
first is In tho house of Mr. and Mrs. Car
raway at Maidenhead, and the second
net. which is In three scenes, takes place
In the foyer of the boXes at the Boyal
Opera House, Covent Garden Marketj and
the flat of Daisy de Montne. of the PIcca
dllty Theatre". TJfe sCrhts are" all well
done and the piece moves along swiftly
nnd reasonably tuneful, but, after all,
the girls are the things which count In
"Tonight's the Night." nnd these Eng
lish young women would carry almost
any show aloi)g to success even In these
perilous times of the theatre.

PET IS A MONKEY
But Newest Addition to Her Menag-
orio Will Not JJo Hero.
Miss nilllo Burke has a new pet. It Is
a monkei.
Miss Burko always has had an animal
pet of some kind, uiually a d6g. She
use.d to have two little white Pom
eranians, which she carrjed everywhere
with her. Thoy are superannuated now
and live a life of enso In the big garage

little dogs. And the reigning favorite
Chlqulta. the monkey well, Miss Burke
Is n Philadelphia this week to appear In
"Jerry" at the Broad, but Chlqulta won't
be with. her.
"She's top much trouble," the nctrcss
told somo ono who Inquired about hor
pets recently. "Beside, hotelkccpcrs ob
ject to her. She likes to climb up 'and
down tho window curtains, especially lace
ones, and tcally sometimes they are not
Wprth much as curtains nftcr sho had
made two or three trips on them. So
I'vo left her at homo tq fight with the
dogs."
Chlqulta comes from tho Hngenbcck
animal gardens nt Hamburg. A j ear ago
list summer, JIIss Burke passed through
Hamburg on her way to Carlsbad atul
paid a visit to tho gardens. Tho super
intendent was very nttentlve to her, and
when she said she'd llko to have a mon
itor he said he'd see what ho could do.
A week later the oxpressman left a cage
with Chlqulta.

Speaking of the moving ptclOf. David
Belasco, America's foremost dramatlo
producer, griys:
Probably the two greatest popular
ising elements of the motion picture
for the general publlo are lis speed
and Ita scope.' One "reel" of pictures,
projected In the spneo of about 15
minutes, Includes more action than
the peopIO who posed In tho picture
could possibly present themselves be
fOto the same audience In tho course
of an. ehllt-e oVenlng. And the stfope
of this same "reel" may be of almost
Incredible magnitude Without being
either eOnfusInrt or Inconsistent.
Wherever tho story travels the scen
ery travels, too, simply as the normal
setting of the narrative.. The action
need not be forced to lit tho locale,
for everything the human eye can
ever see Is food also for the eye of
tho camera, which sees once nnd reg
isters forever.
Tho human pantomimic art, either
in Its strictly dramatlo phases or In
the guise of Interpretative dancing
with complex musical accompani
ments, has been for the most part an
attraction only to limited audiences
of especially appreciative people. But
tho Bllent drama of the screen per
fectly clear and Intelligible even to
the ehlld-ls the most nll-cmbraclng
form of theatrical entertainment ever
discovered, Just as It Is the one form
of entertainment worthy Of respect
which can be offered to tho most peo
plo at tho minimum of admission
charge.
A most wonderful recent motion
picture Improvement has beeri the
manner In which numerous "titles"
or printed explanations are being
eliminated, so that now whole "acts"
are almost entirely silent In respect
to the printed word ns well as tho
spoken word. As scenario men be
come moro skilled In making the se
quence of action self-explanatory, and
as tho publlo becomes moro accus
tomed to rend without words. It Is not
Impossible that "sub-titles" may be
done ntay with almost entirely.
Silence seems to mo such a nntural
attribute of tho moving picture ex
cept for the welcome relief of appro
priate muslo that tho efforts to syn
chronize pictures nnd photographic
olce records Is not, to my mind, of
special Importance.
Tho filming of tho Bclaico successes
Is not to my mind nny "commercial
concession." The art of the screen
has risen far above that stigma. It
Is the means of making th6 works of
a lifetime rench hundreds of thou
sands of pcoplo nocr before Included
In tho nudlcnco of these productions:
a means of reaching tho four ends of
tha earth and all the peoples of the
globe In the silent but Intensely strong
langungo of tho actions that speak
louder than words.
Georsa D. Baker, a director of Vita-
graph comedies, was a real "trooper" In
his dim and misty past. Ills latest story
tells how ho extracted blood from a
stone. In the gulso of a hard-henrtod
small-town opera house manngcr, to en
able him to play a Christmas date.
Mr. Baker was manager and star of a
small "rep" company touring Indian nnd
Oklthoma Territories, playing mostly
ono-nlght stands, when the usual slump
In tho theatrical business preceding the
Christmas holidays' found the company
In a bad plight. The day before Christ
mas tho company arrived In a omnll town
in Indian Territory, with one B-cent-pleco
to its credit, tho said nickel reposing
lonesomcly In tho pocket of Mr. Baker.
Business was unusually bad In this par
ticular town, and the local manager,
sensing something wrong, disappeared be
foro cQuntlng.up time, leaving his treas
urer to settle with tho company. The
grpss receipts totaled V& C5, of which Mr.
Baker's' share was $1 i, but whorT he
tried to collect the money ho was pre
sented wjth $13 II of receipted bills, In
cluding amounts for extrn advertising,
C.(0. D. printing, baggage hauling, etc.,
and Mr. Baker left the theatro with the
nickel with which, somo two hours be
fore, he had entered It,
Bright and early tho next morning a
stilt hunt was Instituted for the local
munager, nnd upon being found, an hour
of peadlngand (many flowery promises
extracted enough money to pay pressing
hotel bills and the railroad fare to the
next town, but the local theatrical mag
nate Insisted on sending the baggage
C. O. D In care of the railroad company.
When Mr. Baker alighted from the train
In the town where they were to play on
Christmas day the' first person lie met
was the manager ot the opera house.
Hardly waiting to say how-de-do, tho
local manager entertained Mr, Baker with
a proposition to buj the two perform
ances outright, and the day was saved.
