' jCoai Tales," With Tom
Wise, Well Received
at the Shore
ATLANTIC CITT, N. J., July 28. There
numerous professionals here now, all
iMfe&ying themselves. "Shoptftlk." which

Jffchw to rtnp up approaches. Coy soubrottes
'mH dignified leading men aro paying more
Attention to theater talk, now than to cos
nt about conquests, ble catches of flan, or
veil Rolf acores.
(As the time draws near for the long re
hearsals, followed by bl? jumps from ono
lty to another, wretched dressing rooms
nnd the grind of the seemingly endless re
petition of set speeches, actors and actresses
re plunging Into seashore pleasure with'
toOto abandon than ever. Bathing hours
'with Urn theatrical people now here last
from noon until three or four o'clock In the
.ftemobn, those hours being Belectod be
cause the crush on the beach Is not bo
treat and the Thespians are thus enabled
I to hare their amilsement without being an
ttoyed by curious onlookers. The medicine
!ilt brigade Is now at work every day, en
Joying the sport and gottlng In condition
from Its strenuousness.
Many managers nnd performers, now
.fcuslly engaged In rehearsing In New York
Iwid Thlladelphlft, will steal away from
'their duties this afternoon and spend a
hrad of tho week-end In this city. Half
baked cities are not pleasant for any one,
And aro especially wearing during the time
tvhen tangled Bketitt of plot and dialogue
are being unwound at rehearsals, so a few
hours In this city wilt refresh and Invlgor
ftta people whose vacation ended when other
people were just starting their Bhare of
1 enjoyment. The Sunday midnight train
lor New Vork, with Bleepors attached, will
fco Jammed with theatrical people who
can leave hero after a happy day and reach
the metropolis In time for Monday re
hearsals. Theatrical business has been especially
rood hero this summer, visitors seeming
to have laid out their dally programs so as
to spend a portion of tho tlmo at the
theaters Instead of devoting overy momont
to the beach or boardwalk. Tho movlng
plctura houses have not met with the suc
cess of last year and the biggest thing In
the movlng-plcture Une. now playing a.
return engagement here, has fallen far
below Its receipts of last year.
Arthur Hammersteln proved this week
that he Ib as big o plunger as his father, the
irrepressible Oscar, who built many theaters
'in New York with but limited capital, made
successes of all of them and then lost them.
The younger Hammersteln not only put on a
new play here w.thout any "break-ln," but
Also prearranged for tho opening of the
Bame play In New York next Monday night.
"Coat Tales, tno ouu uiio oi una to
play, first produced at tho New Nixon Thea
ter last Monday night, was written by
Edward Clark, formerly a vaudeville favor
ite nnd n producer of sketches and acts for
that branch of tho theatrical business.
On its opening night It showed every evi
dence of being a hit. tho only handicap being
A long-drawn-out talky scene at the begin
nine of tho second act. Quick action threw
tills mass of words Into tho waste basket,
and although tho play was brought down to
a. playing time of but little over two hours,
the knifing quickened tho comedy scenes
And. made the show a riot of laughter.
Tho story of the farce revolves around a
Russian sablo coat, It being stolen, pawned,
f-5aken out of "hock." presented to different
people, lost, strayed and finally returned
to Its rightful owner, all In such speedy
tlmo that thero never Is a lagging of In
terest During Its wanderings the coat
gets lots of people In trouble, nearly sepa
rating husbands from wives, but at no
time Is the action or dialogue smirched
with suggestlveness.
Since It has been speeded up It Is full
of laughs and should bo one of tho suc
cesses of next Heasoa Following tho Unci
of two successful plays, the first act Is
really the second act, as the characters
At the opening are completing things which
they start In the second act The mounting
of the play was much more elaborato than
le usually used for a farce, and the cast
Was an exceptionally brilliant one.
Tom Wise, wtlh his unctuous humor, was
happily cast : Louisa Dresser was delightful
In the comedy role and other members of
the company helped to launch the new play
successfully. It should please New York,
but If It does not It will make good In
other cities. It being a rapid-fire farce that
All ages from C to 60 can see and en
Joy. M. TV. Taylor, manager of tho Zimmer
man theatres, spends most week-ends here.
Ho Is especially enthusiastic over the new
theatre which will be added to the chain
thjs fall, a brand-new house to be erected
In Chester, Pa., with a seating capacity
of 3400 and all the latest appointments. J.
Fred Zimmerman, Sr has commissioned
Hoffman Drothers to rush the plans for the

THE CHAUTAUQUA
TAKES UP THE
DRAMA
The representation of the drama upon
tho Chautauqua circuit has been overlooked
by theatrical chroniclers In their sum
marlcs of the theatrical Benson nnd yet
here Is a feature which li destined to be
of untold benefit to tho theater. In tho
words of an olllclal of the Rcdpath Lyceum
Bureau, with whom a representative of tho
Now York Dramatic Mlror talked tho
othor day, "tho Chautauqua circuit Is blaz
ing a trail for tho theater." "Wo aro mak
ing tho drama appealing to communities
throughout tho United States which for
merly considered It as something cheap
and undeserving," ho said, "and wo nro
being rewarded with financial success In
every Instanco "
When the Rcdpath Lyceum Bureau began
Its nativities last Juno for tho aeason of
1016-17 Its roster of attractions lncludod
four theatrical organizations; a company
presenting Zangwlll's racial drama, "The
Melting Pot"; tho Ben Greet Players; a
company appearing In Percy Mackayo's
bird masque, "Sanctuary," and tho Parish
Players, a Chicago group of actors who
present a repertoire of one-act plays.
"Tho Melting Pot" Is touring tho Kan
sas City circuit, which cxtendB from Kan
sas City to San Francisco and return. In
tho company nro several woll-known play
ers. Including Theodore Doucet. "Sanctuary"
Is playing the Chicago circuit, which extends
from Michigan to Florida. Perclval Vivian
acts tho principal rolo In tho mnsauo. In
tho Ben Greet Company, which Is appear
ing on tho New York and New England
circuit In Shakespearean repertolro, are
Eric Blind, Margaret Wychorly, Frances
Carson, Horace. Braham, Walter Kings
ford, Grace Halsey Mills and othors. The
Parish Players, who aro a combination of
n Llttlo Theater and Community Reper
toire company, aro also playing tho Chicago
circuit.
"We first tried out a dramatlo perform
ance on our circuits some flvo years ago,"
said tho Chautauqua man. "Tho results,
artistic and financial, wero at once satis
factory, and wo decided to enlarge our
activities In this direction. We have now
passed tho experimental stage, and we feel
that wo aro helping In no small measure to
make tho drama tho great Influence It
should bo In this country.
"We do not Intend to go Into the pres
entation of dramatic attractions on a largo
scale, Including on our list only a sufficient
number to make up a varied program for
our audiences. Our Detections will, of
course, bo plays which carry a great and
uplifting message, plays of a sociological
and racial character, Buch as 'Tho Servant
