In ilra. Jlarvln'a country house
The f.jrlo, translont homo of La Oaby,
Jovial Jolson, tho Howard brothers and
kindred Wlntergardoncrs. got quite a dif
ferent nort of show last night It Is an
entertainment decidedly In the formative
state, which mcini that there are points
of marked merit, and almost as many of
no merit at all. Of course, the lattor will
bo eliminated as quickly as possible.
Speedy notion In this respect Is needed
From 8 15 to nearly 12 Is vastly too long
to linger In any theatrical atmosphere, even
that hallowed wllh the artlstlo Ustofulness
of Mr. McQulnn'fl delicate and distinguished
stago adornments, of the thin but cheorful
pretttness of Mr. Kern's musical Jottings, or
of tho uncommonly proflclent ensemble of
an uncommon number of good forclal
actors.
To spilt hairs over a piece that has had
Ita head thoroughly combed by the
theatrical barbers, nnd Is In full trim for
Hi New York Knowing, Is usually a waste
ful and unkind tusk, but "airls Will Be
Olrls" Is palpably not In trim yot, and can
bo made so with Judlcioui paring nnd
chopping. So let us note somo of tho
ploauant and retnlnablo features of Miss
Marbury'a nnd Mr Shuberffl production,
and then some of tho unnecessary and. In
our opinion, unretalnablo ones.
We have, first, the cast headed by MIsa
Wood, who run Interpret light opera, aa lit
'Tho Madcap Duchoss," or musical
travesty, an In "Hello, llroadwny." with
equal facility, and Mr Hall, youthful vet
el an of Philadelphia stock Wo have Mr
Hhcstot, vthone maniac In Tho Misleading
Lady" ho has never quite equaled, but
who Is an adroit player of grotesquo roles
We have the semplternally Juvenile Miss
Davlea, the broadly farcical Miss Wassail,
tha baby-oyed Miss Meredith, and soma
other engaging girls Wo have Mr. Ames,
droll and dry English "ass": Mr. Welsh,
capital Junior comedian; Mr. Tod, the rab
idly refined dancer, and Mr. Webb, the an
gularly agitated dnncet Tut them In sur
roundings almost, If not quite, aa charm
ing to the eso na "Stop, Look. Listen I"
glvo them tiny tunes, Ingeniously orches
trated for a playhouse of the New York
Princess alze; clothe them In well-made
and handsome garments, and what mora
can you nalt?
Just thlT A libretto. - Thomas Sydney,"
so tha lobby gossip ran. K or are, two
gentlemen having a try at something new,
by writing a "book." They should have
been advised, and our advice to the back
ers of "Qlrls Will 11a Olrls" Is to throw
away three-fourths of the current one, and
get an expert show doUoi t do the job
over again, kreplug a Joke here and there,
all the lyrics, nnd nothing of the plot.
This Is tenuous bejond belief repetitive, a
mild boro at Its best. Its Inadequacy pre
vents what might have been a successor
to "The Only Ulrl" from aihlevlng that
end. All kinds of opportunities abound
They taper Into vacuity People ramble on
and off stage in a manner suggesting a
oross between a high school performance
and a vaudeville show, Much Is said that
la not Intelligent.
"QlrU Will Be airls" should boast a
stouter mental thread on which to string Ita
melodies. Us gowns. Its seta and most of
all Ita company And, by the way, the orig
inal title, "Strike tha Lyre," was much bat
ter than the present ope. rouldnt that be
Included In the revamplnr process?

Burleaque -Trocadero
"Tha Mischief Makers" began tha week
at tha Trocadero last night with several
carloads of fun, mualo, scenery and action,
not to mention tha Yaaka Hula Hlnky Dnla
atria. Tha fun waa spread In good quan
tise all tha way through ; tha music, spiced
It to a tickling flavor; the soenary waa ade
quate, and the Yaaka. Hula Hlnky DuU
Olrla did tha rest to make It a show,
Tha comedians were up to tha standard
of tha Trocadero and thereby shook the

nas issued tins statement:
It Is a great pity that Mrs Macay
and I have been subjected to annoy
ance In a matter for which neither of
us In any way Is responsible, itnd as
to which neither of us had any knowl
edge, I repeat emphatically the denial
already published lit the newspapers
that there has aver been any engage
ment, or wougnt ot engagement, be
tween Mr. Peter Fagan and myself,
Such a thing ban never remotely been
contemplated by me.
Further than this, perhaps, it Is
proper for ma to say that Mrs. Macey
and I are on the warmest terms of
afTebtlonate friendship. Sha had been
ordered by her physician to go to Lake
Placid for a while, and I am going
with my mother to Montgomery, Ala.,
where my married fitter lives. The
temporary separation Is due to abso
lutely nothing except a question ot my
dear teacher's health.
I hopo thla statement will put a
stop to all the gossip and rumor and
end tha need of any further publicity.

STOCK COMPANY AGAIN
AT KNICKERBOCKER
"Merely Mary Ann' Zangwill
Piny, Wins Success ns First
Circuit Production
The return of stock company pla.s at
the Knickerbocker last night proved such
an Unqualified bucccss that from tho point
of lew of tlio audlenco, nt least, tho wis
dom of Manager William W. Miller's de
cision to Btipplant road productions of In
ternational Circuit productions was demon
strated beyond question Tho opening play.
' Merely JIary Ann," la ono which Ilib al
ready won the devotion of theater-goers In
other playhouscn of the city, hut that did
not detract from its popularity livnt night
As tho various players appeared In turn
In tho first net the nudlenco greeted them
llko old friends, and strangers In tho audi'
once wero told without any solicitation the
history of each plaer. Tho groat burden
of npplause, of coutse, waa reserved for
Anna Doherty, who represents Mary Ann
in Israel ZangwIU'a story. As the success
ful Ingenue of tho former Knlckcibockcr
Players sho gave every promlso last night
of fulfilling nil expectations In her part as
the leading lady of the new company.
The character work of John Lorenz, who,
as tho loading man, has his own following
In thin city, Is doubly clever considering
the handicap with Vthlch ho struggles T-
part ho plays is that of Lancelot, a musinal
genius, whoso work Is not appreciated until
ho agrees to write the music for a popular
ballad, nut, unfortunately, Lorenz cannot
play a note. He Is not nlone In hln trouble
apparently, for the other lesser "musicians"
seem to bo In tho n:imo position Chnrlca
Moore, Kllen Travis, I'nul Jones. Maud At
kinson, Karle T Western and Frank Ken
more, tho other Important membors of tho
company, did very creditable work in their
respective parts.
The Fortieth and Market Streeta' Busi
ness Association, which attended tha per
formance In n body, presented cncli mem
ber of the company with a floral piece to
show Its appreciation both of tho work of
the actors last night and also ot the fact
that they havo returned to the Knicker
bocker,
Minstrels Dumont's
Mirth and good hinging nro tho features
of a good show given thla week by Du
mont's Miustiels, the local blackface artists
"Paying Ulcctlon Bets" and "Tho Chimes
of Normandy" travesties offered lots of op
portunity for the burnt-cork funmakeru
and drew many laughs
Tho minstrels were exceptionally funny
lit their burlesque on "Paying Election
Bets," and showed the audience how those
who had placed their hopes on Hughes
paid freak bets. Leo Kogau, who recently
joined Dumont's blackface circle, sang sev
eral new songs, while Vic Richards and the
rest of tho comedians were as funny as
usual

The motion pictures, In addition to keep
ing us out ot pocket money most of tha
time, out of tho home part of tho time and
out of tho "dumps" all of tho time, perform
yet nnother function. They keep us away
from tlio low, cheap "melodrammer," with
Its dizzy-haired herolno who Incessantly calls
on somo ono to "save tho chee-lhl" nnd the
purple villain who perpetually stands in tha
oiling, meditating dark deeds Tho motion
pictures, therefore, do not live In vain.
A very charming and posttlvo young
woman mado these observations, a young
woman reared In tho ntmo'phcro of the
theater, who knows vvlicicof she speaks.
Mlas Alice Brady, daughter of William
A. Brady, theatrical manager and latterly
motion picture producer. Is on "tho boards"
and tho screen despite her distinguished
father's protests Ho wanted her to nlay
at home. She determined to go out and be
a somebody. In tho convent whero she
sttldlod, in Madison, N J she dreamed
dreams of becoming a famous operatla star.
To koep peace In tho family fIio was sent
to tho New Hngland Conservatory of Music,
In Boston, to havo her voice trained. But
grand opcrn looked too far away and so
nho decided on light opera.
"I'm coming down to Now York to play
In Gilbert and Sullivan," sho wtrcd her
"dad "
And sho did Sho was seventeen. Then
nho tried tho drama and "liked it fine."
Then tho "movies "
"That's whero tho monoy grows, ' she
snld with crisp frankness "Hut tha
'movies' will never put tho legitimate
drama out of existence, thank goodness.
Tho 'movies' nro wonderful In their way,
but Just nbout one-tenth of tho nrtlng that
you do gets over. Tho volco, of course, la
lost entirely. Tho best thing the 'movies'
havo done how over, h to havo put the
trash melodrama out of business Tho low
down, cheat) slapstick, crude stuff Is fading
nvray. (loo'd drama will survlvo nnd bo
moro vigorouR than ever as tha result of
tho moving picture. Tho other stuff will
go. Already peoplo do not want to seo It."
Miss Brady mado a flying trip to Phila
delphia to seo herself on the screen and
to appear beforo tho nudlenco so as to show
It how very much better-looking sho la In
tlio real than us tha film herolno ot "Bought
and Pnlr For,"
"Tho 'movies' don't do me Justice," she
said, petulantly shoving back hor dark
brown hair, "nnd I think It's a good Idea
to let tho Dim audiences havo a lonk nt you
onco In n white, Just to prove to them that
jou'ro not actually dumb, as the movies
make you."
Sho put on a marvelous evening gown of
Nllo-green satin, topped It with a metallic
lnco hat. tipped it with sliver slippers,
tried a. few bars of the song she was to
sing to tho audience, nnd sallied forth ener
getically to tho Belmont Theater, where Bhe
is appearing plctorially.
