Ten nVernge members of the theatrical
profession, wlien on a vacation, create more
excitement and hnvo more fun than a hun
dred ucotilo Who nursue other walks In life.
so the big crowd of actors and actresses
Tiere now nro making things lively In the
central part of tho city. They go to bed
late nnd set up in time to eat their "soft
boiled eggs and toast" at the time when
other people are tucking away the second
meal of the day, but during the time they
re In evidence they do mako things hum.
They walk moro In a day than they do In n
i trtiole season on th& road, and sniff the
' rallno breezes with satisfaction to get the
' odor of stuffy dressing rooms and grease
ptunt out of their nostrils"! they romp on
tho beach like kids Just released from
I echool; they motor Inland to play golf or
ramble through pine woods: the female
' members of that profession shop and gossip.
but there Is one thing they do not do, and
that la visit cabaret shows, Thoy seem to
shun anything theatrical whllo they nro
loafing and resting, and even "shop-tain"
Is seldom Indulged In. At times you wilt
hoar talcs of hits made on tho road, or
boasts of offers at big salaries for the com
ing season, but tho real people talk about
! everything else but tho theatre. Another
oddity Is that tho "Johnnies," or much
I talked-of stago door mashers, are riot In evi
dence here, or If thoy nro they keep shady
and quiet
They would get an exceedingly short

theatrical people Is expected hero today and

proportions. Most of those hero now, and
thoso who -will come later, will stay until
tho end of July or tho middle of August.
Here's to Owen mvis
,-1 COMMERCIALISM In drama

the least assistance, morally or ""fl
and that she wou d have to rely on ner
own resources and not use nor mention hta
name In applying for work. This happened
to be Just what Alice had been seeking
nn opportunity to o out and '"e good.
Vnr It had been her dea all along that If
fho went on the stage she did not want to
have It said that she attained any position
or role or that she was starred became
she was William A. Jlrady's daughter." She
had that indomitable confidence In her own
Tho vaudeville actors who Journey down
hero on Sunday to appear at the "sacred"
concerts given at ono of tho theatres frc-
, quently have trying experiences when they
leave tho resort. Most of them aro booked
to appear In theatres in distant cities, open
ing at a Monday .matinee, and they have
i to hustle to catch tho "lovcn-lectrlc," as tho
last train out of hero Is usually called.
Those who, aro on tho progrnm late hnvo
to mako a run for the train, frequently
dashing Into tho station nt tho last moment,
clad In their stage clothes and with tho
make-up still on their faces. Last Sunday
night promenadors on Atlantic avenue were
startled -when thoy saw a Jitney, driving at
full speed, dashing along, whllo two "wop"
comedians, made up to resemble Black
harjders, leaned out of the vehicle urging
'the chauffeur to greater speed. They caugh.t,
the train by tho wink of an eyelash and
evidently washed up ns the train was Speed
ing across the, Jersey meadows. A. company
of seven appeared ns tho tall lights of the
train wero disappearing- In the., distance, and
ns they were due In Washington tho next
morning an automobile, 'nad to bo chartered
to get them to Philadelphia. It was a cool
night and some of tho actorn wero thinly
'clad, but they used their "grips" and suit
cases as wlniV-shlelds and started off as con
tented aB tC they wero riding In Pullmans.
An, 'alleged funny story, published In a
IJeyr York theatrical paper last week.
' Resulted In much profit for tho owner of a
hrftel In this city. Ho hnd sent letters to
tho members of a company making its first
appearance here, inviting tho members to
stop at his hotel, and agreeing to advance
them money until salary day. Inasmuch as
he appreciated the fact that many weeks of
rehearsals, without pay, would make lean
pocketbooka for many of the performers
who played minor pnrts. The theatrical
Journal published the story as a good Joke,
but the theatrical people thought other
wise and packed tho hotel to tho roof. The
proprietor mado good on his promises, and
the theatrical people are now sounding his
praises and the Joke Is on tho newspaper.
Tho town Is "movlo mad" and all the
films shown are advertised In such a man
ner that Btrangers are apt to think they are
theatrical productions Instead of screen
pictures. In self-defense the managers of
nil tho regular theatres have had larger
' signs than ever painted and placed In front
of the housese. These signs bear the words
This Is not a moving picture."
Walter E. Herlng, president of the Globe
Ticket Company, a concern which prints
(even-eighths of the tickets used by the
theatres of this country, Is a very happy
man today, Inasmuch as he Is chaperoning
tin excursion party of 500, made up of his
Philadelphia employes and their families.
They will see everything, have a dinner
especially provided for them and be enter
tained by stunts by a number of theatrical
people vacationing here.
Zlegfefd's "Follies of 1916" opened here
last Tuesday night and while many blase
Seople say It is Just like a clrlus, same

I knows different and Is booming tho pro
duction In loud tones, and the business has
fceen enormous all week. The show ran
until after midnight on the first night and
since that time not only a pruning knife but
8. good sized ax has been used to weed
out sufficient material to cut down the
show to the required length. The scenes"
i have been switched around, one or two
' specialties eliminated entirely, new songs
and numbers added and the production Is
now as fit as a fiddle for the New York
opening next week, The hits of the show
Wero made by Fannie Brice, Ina Claire.
Ann Pennington, William C. Fields, Bird
Utllman and Bert Williams, but It was the
gorgeous scenery of Joseph Urban, beauti
ful costumes and stunning chorus that
caught tho public. Lew Fields, who staged
"Step This Way" here a few weeks ago,
with an Immediate New York production
after here slipped one over on the man
agers of the "Follies," by using Shake
speare as one of the characters In his
comedy and-'a big Hawaiian number, bo the
use of similar numbers by the latter pro
duction robbed them of some of their effec
tiveness, but the "Follies' Is in a class

ability that meant success, nnd with that
she started out. Her nrst position was In
'Tho Balkan Princess," an operetta. She
sans her way to tho front ranks In opera,
after which she went on tho legitimate
stage. When she had shown her father
that sho could forgo to tho front "on her
own resources" ho beenmo reconciled to her
choice nnd, by mutual consent, became her
manager.
After several years' starring In New
York, JIIss Brndy was Interested In motion
pictures. In fact, Alice beat her father In
the plcturo gamo by nt least a year. JIIss
Brady proves as much of a success In
pictures as sho had been In operetta nnd
on tho legitimate stage. Her first produc
tion was "As Yo Sow," by far tho first real
ly worthwhile pastoral feature made up to
that time. Following this, tho young emo
tional actress of international fame mado
"Tho Rack,""I,uro of Woman," "Tho Boss,"
"The Ballet Girl," "The Woman In 47,"
"Then I'll Como Back to You" and "Tangled
Fates," after which sho spent considerable
time In studying Henri Murgor's famous
French book, "La Vlo do Boheme," from
which a scenario was written. She played
tho star rolo In the Mm version, which was
railed "Allml," and which will be presented
for the first tlmo on any screen nt tho
Palaco Theatre all of next week. Follow.
Ing this production Miss Brady will bo seen
In another big feature, called "Miss Petti
coatB," a play which held tho boards for
soveral years and which was printed In
book form and sold throughout tho country,
having one of tho largest sales accorded
a novel In those days.

SOT HERN PRAISED
BY J. H. McCAmm
Continued from Tntre Ono
possession of these gifts that places w,
Sothorn In tho front rank of romutH
actors.
Tho more I studied the nrtlst's nnUi'
tho moro 1 ndmlrcd the artist. An ictoi
to bo a great nctor must carry wltli
himself the potentialities of many Indh
unllsms, must bo as, ono should ear,-)
quiver stocked with many arrows, 'm
muse navo ina rninu oi n. poet, me hi
of a hero ; lie must bo a philosopher,
must be a humorist, ho must possess 1!
less sympathy. I have often envied
actor for tho way In which he- multltl
his life, being year In and year, out W
some glowing hours of every day hlmsellt
freeman of tho kingdom of dreams, list
soldier, Jester, adventurer, lover, laujhte
defying tho drive of years. And thlseu
only be -when tho actor has the power.ty
understand all passions, and, understand!
to Interpret them with never-falling fraV
ness which makes It ever appear tilt
ho Is living, that the things ivhld
appear to bo happening to him are hi;
penlng to him unexpectedly, and find fcli
as they would find him, unprepared. II
Is tho possession of this power which matai
Mr. Sothorn ono of tho foremost and ea
of tho noblest masters of his craft.
