"Weber nnd Fields, probably the best
known comedians on the stage today,
have signed a two years' contract with
the World Comedy Stars Film Corpora
tion to appear In Blngle reel comedies,
JTrom'the very beginning of their careers
Joe Veber and Lew Fields were ambi
tious, and, always quick and enterpris
ing:, they wero able to keep up with tho
march of events. It was In tho year 1896
that their great opportunity came. Tho
Imperial Music Hall, situated at Broad
way and 29th street, was placed In tho
market. Weber and Fields had an Idea
that If they could get hold of the place,
fitted up, and remain there long enough
they could make a success.
That these promptings were of tho
right kind was demonstrated In the suc
cess of the Weber and Fields Music Hall
Weber and FleldB early becamo the fad
In New York, and persons from out of
town didn't consider their visit to the
metropolis complete unless they had
been to the little bandbox of a playhouse
and had seen tho show about which tho
whole town- talked, with more stars on
the stage at one time than In any other
playhouso In the world.
They have not always been "German
comedians." Nine hundred and ninety
nine persons out of a thousand will try
to tell you they have, but don't believe
them. At the beginning, they wero Irish
comedians, and, unknown to their
parents, they wero playing 13 turns a day
for $3 a week at a concert hall in New
York's Bowery
At the time when they made their first
appearance this country was tho haven of
refuge for many foreigners, nnd Castle
Garden, New York, tho most conspicuous
port of entry The Land League troubles
were ripe In Ireland then and a very large
percentage of tho Immigrants were Irish.
In fact, they outnumbered all others In
the proportion of three to one. There
fore, It was not surprising that tho two
boys, determined on the stage career of
comedy, should hit upon the Irish as tho
proper raco to portray. This explains
why Weber and Fields made their stage
debut In green coat, green knickerbockers,
green stockings nnd with pipe and shllla
lah, and sang a song that begnn like this:
"Wo are two Jolly Irish lada.
As you can plainly see.
And If wp'ro not mistaken,
We think jou all airreo
That we nre Jolly Irish lals,
And happy as can be."
Edcson's Debut
The nrst Vltagraph production In which
Ilobert Edeson will be seen Is o plcturlza
tlon of "Mortmain or the Dead Hand,"
from tho story of Arthur C. Train. Mr.
Edeson, who will portray Mortmain, will
have In his support a cast Including
James Morrison as Forsythe, Donald Hall
as Russell, J. Herbert Frank as Doctor
Crisp, Edward Elkas as Flaggs, Gladden
James as Scalscopo and Muriel Ostrlche
as Bella. The picture Is being directed
by Theodore MarBton under tho personal
supervision of J. Stuart Blackton.
"Mortmain" as a screen story will be
doubly attractive because of its Btrong
dramatic action, and the scientific and
psychological elements that make of it
a decided novelty. Mr. Edeson, as Mort
main, Is shown being put to sleep under
the Influence of ethyl-chloride, and as the
drug takes effect the sensations experi
enced by him under Us Influcnco are
shpwn In vivid realism. Ho sees his own
head getting larger and larger until It
bursts. This Is succeeded by a falling
sensation as from a great height, and It
Is during this period tho superman leaves
the body and wanders off Into space. As
the force of tho anesthetic Is spent, nnd
the soul returns to Its physical habita
tion, Mr. Edeson receives a sensation of
a severe jerk and bump. The experiences
of the superman during Its wanderings
after leaving the body make the story of
"Mortmain," In which every scientific nnd
psychological detail Is pictured on the
screen with startling clearness. It Is a
notable fact that this Is the first time
anything of the kind has ever been shown
In pictures.
Another Contender
The long-distance debate between Billy
Ritchie and Charles ChapUtj as to who
was the original drunk In "A Night In
an English Music Hall" has now become
three-sided with the entrance of BUltc
Reeves, now leading comedian with the
Lubln Company, who not only announces
that he was the original drunk In the
production, but offers to separate him
self from $1000 If his claim Isn't correct.
"There has been a lot of discussion as
to who was the original drunk," said
Reeves, "but after all the talk has sim
mered down you will find that I myself
played the part. I first played the
famous drunk part In an act produced
by Fred Karno. It was originally called
"Twice Nightly" and later was called
"The Humming Birds." In this country
It was called "A Night In an Engllih
Music Hall" and I played the well-known
part of the drunk In the stage box. This
act was produced by Mr. Karno at tha
Btar Music Hall, Bermonday, London,
England, in 1901.
"The cast at that time Included Charles
Bell, the noted 'boy in the box'; Arthur
Galllmore, as the wrestler; Miss Imv
Minster (now Mrs. Reeves), the original
aoubrette. and Billy Ritchie, who played
the 'bum' conjurer Professor Bunco
and the announcer for the wrestling
match. The act was played throughout
Europe, Australia and South America and
I played the part of the drunk.
"In VHl I had an engagement in Vienna
and I could not return to open in the
act as the drunk; and my brother. Alt
Reeves, the manager, appointed Mr.
Ritchie to play the drunk. I Returned to
the States and Introduced the drunk
character In the Ziegfeld Follies in 1906,
and continued In the Follies of 1903, 1910
and 1911.
"Mr. Ritchie left the act under my
brother's management and was succeeded
by Harry Royston. Ritchie west to Gui
Hlll'a burlesque show, 'Vanity Fair,' or
'Around the Clock.' In this show he
played the business of the music halt act,
-which act was copyrighted. My brother
sued Gua Hill and won ths case.
"Charles Chaplin waa brought from
England by my brother, Alf Reeves, about
five years ago. He was working In an
act called "Wow Wows." The music
ball act was In demand and my brother
put Chaplin into the act In the drunk
part. Chaplin played this part for about
three years and waa very aucessful. Ha
closed the act In Kansas City in Novenii
hr. 1913. and went into pictures.
. "After leaving the Follies, I went back
to Mr. Karne and went ntathe" music
hall act After that I opened In an act
called "X Lesson in Temperance," or
Too iFull for Words,' Jrt which I played
the drunk character While I waa play.
Sag this act at the Palais do Etc. Brus
itilfl, Belgium, wax was declared and I
wsa given U hours to get out of the
e-ouMry. I returned to the States and
ojxjicd with my act at the Fifth Avenue

For Its final performance of the season
tho Bchrens Opera Club sang nt tho
Academy last night Offenbach's "Talcs
of Hoffmann." Tho program states that
this was the first tlmo for tho "TaleB"
In this house, whether In English, aa In
the present performance, or In any lan
guage, is not specified.
It Is sincerely to be hoped that this
will not be tho last performance, because
thoro are a certain number of beauties
which did not come out last night, and
which Bhould corao out and should bo
familiar to music lovers. Offenbach Is
a much misunderstood man, despite tho
popularity of the Barcarole. The thor
oughly muslclanly composition of every
thing ho wrote, from the "Tales" to "La
Bcllo Helene," Is too often forgotton.
He Is nlways Interesting, always bright,
always fascinating. Except, of course,
when the music Is dragged, when the
dances aro repeated (ad lib.), and when
thoro Is a slight but persistent discrep
ancy between tho playing of the orches
tra and the singing of tho singers. That
Is to say, except when tho performance
Is as llttlo In keeping with tho composi
tion as was that last night.
The Indefatigable, energy nnd dovotlon
which amateur grand opera demands nnd
receives at tho hands of amateurs In this
city cannot pass unnoticed. But It Is
tlmo to say that the pretentiousness of
their purposes too often mnkes their per
formances futile. The "Martha" of the
present organization, In which some of
tho some singers tooK part, was, no
doubt, not so Important a piece of work,
but It ran more smoothly and gave
pleasure withal. Except for tho singing
of a few principals, last night's opera wns
a disappointment. The three heroines nnd
tho double villain were Interesting, If not
alwnys satisfying. But It ought to bo
precisely tho object of amateur operns to
avoid the pitfalls of professional work,
to minimize the star, to make opera tho
gathering of many forces. Local ama
teurs, are, invariably, without the
slightest Idea that opera can be any
thing moro than singing and dancing.
There Is no attempt at fresh acting, at
interpretation, at scenic beauty, at hand
ling of lights, at development of scene.
If theBe things were unknown to ama
teurs there would be a little excuse, but
those who really love opera and devote
themselves to its production nre not all
bound over to the grand opera tradition.
The Philadelphia Opetatlc Society, ex
cept when It produces light opera, and
the Behrens, with possibly tho samo ex
ception, do nothing but repeat tho vices
of the professional stage. They bring
to It all Its own vices, and ndd few vir
tues except that of sincerity. And sin
cerity Is not enough.
The performance last night was prob
nbly all that Its sponsors desired. Tho
present criticism Is not written with tho
Metropolitan's performance In mind. It
Is written with tho hope that amateur
opera may yet win a place for Itself,
the place recently taken by amateur
theatricals, in regenerating a weakening
art.
Giuseppe Boghettl in Recital
Oluseppe Boghettl, a Phladelphla tenor,
surprised a number of friends by the
beauty of his voice at his first recital, In
Wltherspoon Hall, Ipst night. Tho young
singer has many fine qualities, which,
however, he spoils frequently by faulty
production.
Boghettfs voice has the true lyrlo qual
ity. The full beauty of this is somewhat
lost because his tones lack volume. But
he could do a great deal to overcome this
natural deficiency if he did not sing so
far back in the mouth. The singer last
night held his lips stiff and his cheeks
flabby, thus "gagging" the tone and ut
terly ruining any attempts at a clear
enunciation. With more care and dls-
