Audiences that witnessed the piece at

player's "support." Handicap Is often
a more fitting epithet.
"Getting Together" marks a return,
through the patriotism of some accom
plished stage folk, to saner conditions.
There Is not one badly played role In
the entire production. Artistic Ideal
Ism has, ot course, comparatively little
to do with this exhibit of excellence.
Devotion to democracy's cause was the
prime instrument In assembling so
many good actors. Nevertheless, art
ean rejoice in the spectacle.
The distinction of Blanche Bates's
performance Inspires regret that the
present Mrs. George Creel waited for
a, world crisis befcjre coming back to
the stage. Actresses ot her authority.
her training, her personal magnetism
and Interpretative sifts are lamentably
aearce in the American theatre. Where
are the feminine stars of yesteryear?
Ad Rohan Is dead, Viola Allen and
Julia Marlowe have retired, Annie Rus
sell dwells In comparative obscurity.
Mrs. Fiske Is almost a sole survivor,
for there is no hint of permanency In
Blanche Bates's patriotic return.
It has' been extremely pleasant, how
ver, to succumb once more, if all too
briefly, to this artist's potent appeal
and thereby indirectly to recall the in
tellectual farce of the finest ot Hedds
Gaolers and to hark back to the roman
tlo 'allurement with which she Invested
the essentially commonplace melodra

Tho novelty of the situation lies In the
fact that the purchase of a ticket does

"Personality" Itules
at Winter Garden
rnHC appeal of the average Winter
Garden "show" or "Broadway revue"
Is largely dependent on personalities.
Managerial recognition of this circum
stance is now quite unspologetle. Co
median Tlnncy is "Frank" and
Champion Corbett Is "Jim" In "Doing
Our Bit," the diversified extravaganza
visible at the Chestnut Street Opera
Houje. Not long ago loquacious Mr !
ynn. of the flexible hats, was "Ed"
In "Over the Top" at the same theatre
The practice Is strikingly illustrative ot
the magnetism ot popular entertainers
and of the growing Intimacy of vari
egated "revues."
r. miney, it may 6e noted, wa one
or the first ot funmakers to becom
"strictly personal" across the footl'ghts.
The public delighted In such confidential
nonsense and It Is taking the same
pleasure In his current performances.
"Doing Our Bit" seems to have won
even more favor than the season's
previous Winter Garden offerings. Jn
a few weeks it will not be easy to re
ca"l what It was all about, but memory
of the personal element will abide. This
production can be card-Indexed aj "the
Tlnney" show. Earlier ones, among
others, were Mr. Wynn's and tho "Kev."
"Chick" Sale's.
Plans for New
Schubert Theatre
THEATRICAL patronage has recov
ered bravely from the melancholy
slump which afflicted It Inst December.
U weathered the fuel administration's
ruling and It has even experienced a
rather lively ante-Easter period. And
now. despite the war, there are definite
prospects of additional footllght activity
In this city.
The handsome Shubert Theatre, under
going swift' construction on the former
site of Horticultural Halt, Is scheduled
for completion on May 10. There are
rumors that the daring venture of giving
summer musical plays In Philadelphia
may be made. The plans have not yet
fully matured, but It Is asserted on rep
utable authority thai: the new house
will be opened as soon ss It Is finished.
The Initial attraction may be "Maytlme"
or the new Winter Garden potpourri,
"The Passing Show of 191S."
Less frivolous offerings will, ot course,
be presented there when the regular
season is on, and by next autumn eight'
so-called "flrst-class" thestres will be In
operation hero for the first time In the
city's history. This figure can be swelled
to eleven If the Little Theatre, whose
policy has lately been variable, and tlie
Academy and the Metropolitan, devoted
to music, are Included,
Heroic Paris has learned that theatres
could be useful emotional safety valves
In war time. London, harassed by noc
turnal air raids, still clings to her mat
inees. With such precedents by civili
zation's champions, Philadelphia need
not be uneasy about welcoming her
newest playhouse. II. T. CRAVEN,
MAETERLINCK'S ART
INVADES THE FILMS
"Blue Bird's" Imaginative Beauty
to Be Revealed at Stanley
Theatre
The fitness ot Maeterlinck's richly
imaginative play, "The Blue Bird." for
screen adaptation is entirely obvious.
The only wonder is that the project has
been so long delayed. Its transforma
tion episodes, its profusion of magical
Incidents, Its pervasive mystical appeal
suggest the intangibility of pictures
rather than the often palpable me
chanics ot the stage. Stanley Theatre
patrons will next week be given a chance
to see how well Maurice Tourneur, di
rector for Artcraft, has appreciated
these circumstances, when the filmed
"Blue Bird" will have Its first Phila
delphia showing.
Advance reports happily herald the
photoplay as inaugurating a new era
in screen art. The touching and simple
symbolism ot Maeterlinck's lines, the
delicate yet direct poetic content of the
least-mannered dialogue that ever
emanated from his pen, should, more
over, provide admirable "titles." The
measure cf their effectiveness will, of
course, depend largely on the good taste
of the scenario maker and the depth of
his respect for a work of unquestioned
genius. "Revising" Maeterlinck Is cer
tainly not advisable. Fortunately, con
sidering the pains expended on this
production and the distinction cf the
auspices under which It is launched,
there Is little reason for anticipating
any such errors of Judgment,
Aided by the authority of motion-picture
technique in handling fairy-like and
supernatural scenes, the alleged mys
tical meaning ot 'The Blue Bird" should
be made very plain. Two little Flem
ish children go in quest of the bird ot
happiness. After many adventures in
realms of the spirit and cf actual life,
they eventually discover it In their own
heme. There is no cryptic philosophy In
this concept The beauty with which
the Belgian playwright has adorned
this simple Idea is chiefly what give
"The Blue Bird" its exquisite artistic
potency,

NO VACATION DAYS
FOR RAY SAMUELS
Keith Star Will Spend Her Summer
Farming on Long
Island
Ra'y Samuels has been dubbed 'The
Blue Streak of Vaudeville." A blue
streak ts supposed to contain, and prob.
ably does, the speed of chain lightning,
and Miss Samuels Is credited with be
ing able to change from one expression
to another In her rendition of character
songs with remarkable speed.
Miss Samuels, who comes to Kolth's
Theatre this week In a new offering 'of
character songs, Is planning to put thli
"blue streak" Idea to something more
effectual than the singing of songs. The
singer who divides her time on the stage
between vaudeville and musical comedy
allots herself several weeks durlpg the
summer season of each year to work on
the farm, and this year she is arranging
her theatrical bookings so that she will
spend a little more time than usual'oti
her .Long Island property. Miss Sam
uels has a perfectly good reason for not
wanting to remali) In vaudtvtlle so long
this year as formerly. She ha tken
