Managers
Worry Over
R. R. Strike
Many Leave Atlantic City
to Bring Companies
U logether
ATLANTIC CITY, Sept. 2. A big black
etoud nppcaretl on tho theatrical horizon
this weeki and It betokened such a. Btorm
(that many mmin(,cio .w. iHn......... .....
who had been prolonging their vacations
' hero mado a mad rush for .Now York. Tho
'threatened tie-up of railroads throughout
1 the country was a serious matter for a pro
i fesslon wrilch gains :tn pronta through con
stant traveling, and there was no tlmo for
loafing1 when such a condition popped up
when least expected. Annulment of passen
,cer servlco throughout tho United States
'would mean tho loss of thousands of dol
I Jars to companies making one-night stands,
and If tho strike should extend over a week
It will ru'n hundreds of managers who have
, to move their Bhows at tho expiration of a
1 week's engagement. Even the rays of hopo
(thrown out by prospects of a compromise
could not prevent managers from hurrying
'to theatrical centers to provldo against pos
sible contingencies. Actors nincl actresses,
with good engagements secured for the
' corning season, but not called for rehearsals
I until tho mMdle of September, also got tho
restless fovcr and Journeyed to New York
1 for fear that when tho call camo thoy would
not bo ablo to travel.
Vaudeville pcoplo resting hero wcro tho
only ones not alarmed by strike rumors and
orders. Tho vnudevlllo performer, having
'but llttlo baggage to carry, and having lots
I of time to make his weck-ond Jump In, al
ways has tho nutomobllo to fall back on,
and thereforo that clais of pcoplo, who
rcldoni worry over anything, .worried less
'over tho strike. In fact, iiulto a numbor
of vaudovlllo peoplo now do nil their travel
ling by automobiles. Out of their earnings
they buy a car, learn to run It, and then
Irnako all their Journeys by this method
of conveyance As their engagements usu
'ally end on Saturday night and they do
i not have to report In the next town for
rehearsal until Monday morning, with
'Jumps averaging 100 miles, they have ample
,tlme to mako tho trip In a lelsuroly manner.
They usually purchase serviceable cars,
'With amplo facilities for carrying luggage,
nnd tho pcoplo who uso scenery In thnr
' specialties have It mado of the noncrackablo
painted kind, which can bo folded Into small
space and carried on outriggers attached to
the machine.
Jome3 and Bonnlo Thornton, who havo
been pillars In tho vaudcvlllo business sinco
the days when It was called variety, camo
down hero a week ago for n rest of 10 days.
They liked tho place, and said so, and a
real estate, agent showed them a cottngo
Which Just suited them. Tho result was
that Jim drew the money out of a bank,
got tho deeds for tho house and hereafter
Will call this his homo. lie. and llonnlo
went to New York to open on tho Loow
time, but after thoy nro through with a
vaudovlllo tour thoy will como hero and
remain during tho tlmo when work does
not call them away. Georgo Monroe, whllo
hero this summer, commissioned his brother
John to purchaso him a homo this winter,
and ho will resldo hero every summer.
Walter Kelly will erect a homo hero this
Winter, and sovcral managers arc planning
to build residences here, one manager hav
ing arranged to commute hero every day
on tho lato night train.
Australia now has an annual "Follies,"
Just tho samo as the United States, and a
Philadelphia product Is at tho head of It
Hugh Ward, a South Philadelphia boy, who
went to that country as an actor and de
veloped Into tho biggest manager there,
controlling as many theaters as Klaw &
Erlanger and the Shuberts, puts, on one of
these frivolous entertainments every yenr
to play all of ltls theaters and flio project
has been a success. Sophyo liernnril nnd
' Lou Anger, also of tho Quaker City, who
are hero resting from a strenuous vaudc
vlllo tour, nro exhibiting offers from Wnrd
for leading parts In the 1917 production,
to be produced on or about Christmas,
nnd are seriously thinking of making the
trip.
Circuses havo been treading tho thorny
paths this summer, and a big tented or
ganization, which makes Its headquarters In
Trenton, N, J., have given up tho ghost
' and shipped to winter quarters In the mid
, die of tho circus season. Another show,
hailing from a small town In Pennsyl
vania, has also shut up shop. Lack of
, help caused by the demand for munition
Workers, tough rainy spring weather, tho
i outburst of infantile paralysis and now
the keeping away of crowds through tho
' rumors of a railroad strike, which may
I come, even If postponed, beforo the harvest
season Is over, has put such a crimp In
I the' bank roll of all circus owners that
they are all ready to lay down.

"EXPERIENCE" HAS
COME TO TOWN
Much-Heralded Morality Play Receives
Warm Reception at Adelphl
Theater
Messrs. William Elliott, P. nay Com
Btock and Morrla Q6st call "Experience
"tho most wonderful play In America."
They ought to call themselves "the most
wonderful showmen In America." That
would bo nearer the truth. For tho most
Interesting thing about Dcorge V( Hobart's
"morality play of today" Is not tho play
or Ha platitudes or Its pcoplo i It Is tho
raro elilll with which It has beon handled
from production onward. Its success a
BUCcesA which linn been miraculous has
beon built upon a recognition of tho play's
worth to a certain class of audience, and
upon a deliberate nnd elaborate campaign
to Interest that clais. A popular price, big
advertising, handsomo lithography, gigan
tic signs, special performances for min
isters with costly nnd excellent refresh
ments, havo mado It possible for the man.
agoment of tho piece now at tho Adelphl to
print proudly tho words "nine months In
New Ym-k, soven montlm In Chicago, and
flvo mo '-s In Uoston."
It hau not been a campaign of bunk.
It has been n businrllke matter of sell
ing "Kxpcrlcnco" to tho pcoplo who want
It. Any review which merely attempts to
prove Its writer's superiority to tho morals
and tho mentality of Mr. Ilobart. Ignores
Its genulno and ultimate Justification.
"Experience" Is written, of course, on
an old, old formula, almost nn old ns tho
church. It gives us a popular nnd accepted
moral message through flgurea of every
day life which aro labeled with abstract
qualities such as Youth, Love. Slander, Am
bition, Orouch and Snob. It Is also ad
dicted to tho old, old notion that Ileauty
Is ns damnable as Deceit and that Pleas
ure Is "tho stain of last night's wlno on
tho table cloth."
This newest specimen of tho sandwich
board drama li therefore no belter or no
worso than Its much-lauded progenitor
"Everyman," so far as platitudes go, how
ever far below It Mr. 'lobalt's plcco may
sink In tho art of npVylng tho English
langungc. It Is miles ntno "Everywoman."
It Is better entertainment. "IJvervwoman"
rejoiced In flvo "canticle3" full of terribly
blank verse. "Erperlenco" Is satisfied with
10 "episodes" of good old prose. Some
times It Is fnke-poctlo: sometimes It out
vamplrcs Pox's own Thcda Darn and talks
about Passion aa tho Queen Ilegont of Hell
and tho High Commissioner from his
Sntantc Majesty; but mostly It Is decently
oxprcislve. "Everywoman" nover got with
in miles of reality. "Experience" has a lot
of humor and a tot of humnnncs3 to It. when
It Isn't tbo busy firmly and loudly declaim
ing tho multiplication tnble.
On tho technical side, thin ljug nnd
elaborate play Is nt tho worst adequate.
Tho settings nro necessarily tho Hort that
can bo shifted easily and quickly, but they
sorvo. Tho lighting Is mostly tho glary old
kind, but occasionally In tho cocaine re
sort, for Instance It la now nnd richly
Imnglnattvo; giving up tho footlights for
overhead Illumination behind a gauze. It
ncllloves a fine senso of drear nnd desolato
ovll. Tho dozens of smnll parts aro taken
well In nlmost every Instance and tholr
effectiveness Is greatly enhanced by tho
minute enro which tho producer has ex
pended on teaching each player a bodily
moNement characteristic of his name
Hut tho finest thing In tho wholo pro
duction Is tho work of a Blnglo actor.
Ernest Glendlnnlng as Youth Is superb. IIo
plays with poetry and humor. IIo drives
homo tho obvious points and spends ln
fintto flncsso on shadings of emotion. His
best moment Is when Youth's deep and
truo emotion for Lovo rises through hla
drunkenness. Mr. Glcudlniilng keeps every
accent of Intoxication ; yet tho exaltation
f of lovo and the misery of his fall shlno
through. Mr. ulcndinnlng Is tho final
stroko of astuto management. IC. M.

A TELEGRAPHER'S
KEY TO FORTUNE
Gcorco V'. Ilobart, author of "Kxpcrl
ence." now it the Adelphl, was formerly

tlm persevcrahco and unlimited Industry,
Mr. Ilobart was born In Nova Scotia,
but his family moved to HnRerstown when

fascinated with tho telegraphic wonders of
tho clicking keys at tho railroad station
nnd learned how to opcrato through tho
kindness nnd courtoy of tho regulnr oper
ator. Later ho became operator nt Fred
crick, was Biich a quick sender and receiver
that ho wns transferred by tho Western
Union Company to Baltimore, and then to
tho omce of tho Baltimore Sun, tho leading
newspaper of that city.
In the newspaper omce ho soon becamo
a prollclcnt writer, and, being gifted with
a sense, of comedy, commenced to write
Btorlcs and poems, which wero widely
copied, Ills success In Bnltlmoro led to a
contract with tho Hearst syndicato In New
York, and ho commenced to wrlto humor
ous stories for tho Hearst newspapers. IIo
created John Henry nnd tho famous Dln
kcl.iplcl, familiar to newspaper readers.
Whllo In Now York ho began to wrlto
comedies nnd 'soon had a string of many
successful comedy offerings to lilo credit.
Hut whllo managers wcro glad to got
comic operas nnd farces from him, no ono
belloved ho could wrlto n. serious play un
til ho wroto "nxpcrlence," which was first
given nt it private Lambs' gambol In con
densed form and was afterward given on
tour by tho Lambs, being tho big featuro
of tho bill of that famous organization.

TO W. S. HART
"Soma actors nro born nervy, some ac
qulro nerve and somd havo nerve thrust
upon them." William 8. Hatt believes he
must havo been born nervy. And, In sup
port of his contention, this noted star cites
tho fact that ho never has experienced the
slightest fear In performing tho many haz
ardous feats by which his work on the
screen lias been marked.
"I think nerve, with me, must bo of a
hereditary nature," declares Hart, when
discussing the numerous risks ho assumes
In his dally labors beforo the camera, nycn
as a Kid I was a daredevil. At least, that
Is what they tell me thoso oldorly folk
who claim to remember mo no a youngster.
They say that when I was living on tho
plains of North Dakota I used to go nbout
barefooted, with nary a thought of tlio
dangers that beset my path. Onco I was
bitten by a rattlesnake, but even this, It
seems, did not Instill Into mo a fear of that
reptile. Of bodily Injury, to bo sure, I am
a bit fearful. By that I mean that I don t
llko to tllrt with harm. But. nt that, I
often risk life and limb to accomplish somo
of the tasks lnld down for my by our
authors. I nm not a bollover In 'doubles,
and that is possibly ono of tho reasons why
I always nm willing, nnd, morovor, anxious,
to do myself what Is set forth for mo to do,
Hart's most recent hazardous "stunt"
was performed during tho recent filming ot
"Tho Patriot," which will bo shown at tho
Arcadia Theater during the first threo days
of next week, tho Triangle-Kay Beo play,
by Monte M. Kntterjohn, In which ho Is pre
sented nB Btar by Thomas II. Inco. It was
that of making a Hying leap. In the dark,
from the roof of n Mexican ndobo shack
to tho back of n horse. Tho "stunt" In
volved tremendous risks, yet Hart succeeded
In doing It without suffering an unpleasant
scnsAtlon, save tho Jarring of his spine.
