THE PLAYGOER'S
WEEKLY TALK
Observations on Plays and
Photoplays of Interest
to Philadelphians
; pHESTNUT STItEET Is minui one
of its once-acemtomed mid-Augint
t figure this year. He could be spotted
Infallibly by hl large black leather
portfolio and hit velotir bat, sometimes
nlth a cute lltle black or green plume
In th band. (He had hearkened to the
resounding gong calling in the hay hel
met to the bat box long before the rest
of us heard the faintest of chimes.)
Casually passed, he iould rnute the eye
"to negotiate a backward once over and
the mind to speculate on his identity,
and especially to wonder if that was
what the early autumnal mode for men
would be. For sartorlally he was nifty
and advanced. Oh, very ndranced. As
advanced as his occupation.
lie was the theatrical advance agent.
(One.sensed nt first sight that this pic
turesque personality had freshly breened
on to Chestnut street from Hroadway,
bringing the fragrance of new mown
hay "to our torrid citified sophisticated
street.) The portfolio carried photo
graphs of his star and Interesting
stories of his star's diamonds or
poodles (if n lady star) or athletic
prowess (If a gentleman star). The
Vf lour, bat was the sign of his calling.
Ami HE was the sign of the opening
of the theatrical season.
"Strike, fellows, strike."
Vi'e can hear Francis Wilson elocut
lng this passage from "Trolius and
Cressida" (V. 8).
THE once invariable portent of the
perambulating press ngent is lacking
this season as Labor Day, the usual
opening date of a majority of theatres,
approaches. Whether his failure to ap
pear Is to be interpreted thnt the plajs
and players for whom he pioneered also
" will fall to appear on the local stages a
week from Morula is still n question.
ThtS advance agents f.re not striking
yet, but it looks as if the walkout of
the Actors' Equity Association, which
has closed n score of shows in New
York and scvernl In Chicago, is bound
to have some influence on the local sit
uation. "Since we've begun to strike, we'll
never lenve" (3 Henry VI, II, 2).
which seems to sum up the crisis in
New Xork, may have some effect over
here.
AS PHILADELPHIA is not a "sum
- mer-show" town, there has been no
way of estimating just what bearing the
strike would have on nffairs here. Ite
tween the stage hands, the musicians
and the actors several houses have been
darkened In Chicago, which is n "summer-show
town." This would indi
cate that similar conditions Vould be
duplicated here on any attempt to open
thi theatres.
nowever, the local house managers,
while not buning' very loudly, are
going on the assumption that openings
will open as scheduled for this city
before strikes or rumors of strikes drew
Thespis into trade unionism and set her
humming "One for nil and all for
Equity," which, as everybody ought to
know, is the "Marseillaise" of the
striking, actors.
Equity representatives, howeter, hold
that plnyers scheduled for Philadelphia
will hie them "to those fields where
noble fellows strike" ("All's Well,"
U, 3).
If Equity spokesmen are to be cred
ited, these casts are made up of "Such
as will strike sooner thnn speak and
speak sooner than drink" (1 Henry
IV, 1, 2). At least there is no gainsay
ing that good line about the drjnk, just
now'-
TN" RECENT seasons all the half dozen
Jo'r so first-class houses here have
opened with a Labor Day matinee (one
of the performances for which, by the
way, the actors state that they never
received pay, in their list of grievances).
This year only three houses announced
Labor Day openings.
The Shubert was to start the
season with Al Jolson in "SInbad,"
which had a remarkable series of runs
in three theatres in New York and in
a icouple of other cities, on September
3. Then it was announced that it
would open on August 2."!. The latest
announcement Is to the effect that Jol
son 'will open the Shubert, but when is
not stated. Jolson. it has been under
stood, was one of the players who were
not allied with the Equity Possibly
the cancellation of original plans is due
to the fact that "SInbad" employs a
large chorus, and Marie Dressier is the
large head of the large chorus of strik
ing merrymakers.
Possibly Miss Dressier and her co
horts have taken their slogan from
"Coriolanus" :
" 'Tls sworn between us we shall ever
strike
Till we can do no more" (I, 2).
tlTA, LA LUCILLE," n musical
--1 farce which made a big hit on
Broadway. Is announced for the OSnrrlck
opening with a Labor Day matinee. It
is being advertised, however, for that
date, although it was forced to close in
New York during the present week,
probably jn account of the necessary
participation of the chorus girls' branch
of 'the theatrical folks union. The
sympathetic action of the musicians'
union also had some bearing on the case
as well as similar support by the stage
httus.
Evidently the melodists were reading
their "Winter's Tale" and ran across
this:
"Music: strike" (V.Tl)
and dldi
Xg for the stage hands they were
perusing, as quiet as can be, "Trolius
a ad Cressida" till they came to
"Contrive how many hands shall
strike" (1, 3)

SUJIMIN'O up the prospects here, two
shows are unnounced with September
1 ns the definite date of opening. .Tol-
son's date is still in abeyance. The
nlnut is announcing the Philadelphia
premiere of "The I'tikissed Pride," a
farce, for September 8. Charles Dil
lingham's new musical piece, the tenta
tive title of which is "The Marriage
Knot," is set for its first performance
on any stage on September S at the
lorrest, where the producer has made
several notable premieres in the past.
Mrs. I lske, who is not with the
strikers but with the Sothern group of-
actors, who promulgate the principle
that art and trade unionism do not mix,
Is announced to open the Ilroad on
September 22 with ".Mis' Nelly, of N'
Orle'ns," one of the high comedies in
which her artistry is so brilliant.
As Mrs. Fiske has not been "work
inc" since spring, there is no way of
telling just how the new conditions will
nffect her cast. As her productions nre
nlwnys so marvelously cast and trained,
it would seem that the defection of even
one -principal would mar the perfected
ensemble for which she and her man-ager-husbaudT

appear at all than with a cast marred
by substitutions.

To James A. Heme belongs the credit
of "discovering'-' Edward J. Connelly,
an actor whose skill nnd art on the
stage have long been the subject of
favorable comment.
As General .Tung-Lu, commander ot
the empress's troops in Nazimova's pro
duction, "The Red Lantern," the prin
cipal feature uct week at the Stanley,
this actor has created a notable char
acter. Mr. Connelly is one of thp members
of the older school of actors who hove
adopted the screen in recent jcars, nnd
his success iu several productions with
Nazimova has been a repetition of his
performances on the stage. Mr. Con
nelly succeeded Dan Daly in the lend
ing role of "The Belle of New York."
Allan Dwan, who directed Marion
Davies in "The Dark Star," which will
be shown next week at the Arcadia, sat
comfortably back in his chair for a bhort
time during the filming of that picture,
while Miss Davies herself put the mem
bers of her cast through their paces.
The oecasiou was a new dimcp s,tpn
called for in the story, and Mr. Divan,
quicsij recognizing Miss Daviess
knowledge of the ternsichorpHn nrt.
availed himself of her nffpr In ant iw

oi me cast, it will be remembered that
Miss Davies sang and danced her way
into the hearts of admirers through the
musical comedy route less than two
years ago.
A new four -niece orchestrn nlnvp,! nt
the studio during the filming of the
picture, Director Dwan believing it to
bo essential, from the nature of the
plot, that the artists should have music
while they are creating their parts.
Students of current history will find
much to interest them In "Thp Wnrl,l
and Its Woman," which is to open ou
-uonuay at tlic Uhestnut Street Opera
House. Jt is the story of lift in Kiibsia
at the present time, and Geraldine
Farrar and Lou Tellegen h.ave the im
portant roles.
One of the finest Ttnulnn .ir.

will be found in this Ooldwvn film n

wnere j.ou uellegen is waiting for Ger

Miss Farrar appears as an nnpmtip
singer. She sines the rnlp nt Tl,t t,
fore one of the largest crowds of extra
players ever shown in a theatre set in
any studio.
"Hilh Pockets" is the lntpst Tiot.
wod picture in which Louis Benuisou
is starred nnd will be released by Gold
wyn. It will be at the Victoria all next
week. . .
In "High Pockets" Mr. Pennlsnn
plays his familiar western part and
his character, it seems, is one that he
draws fresh delight from each time he
plays it, to judge by its spontaneity and
naturalness. Never has he portrayed
with more effect the courageous, clear-
eyed, westerner setjn a rough environ

Another Rival for BUI Hart
Universal has re-engaged Harry
Carey, their cowboy hero, to appear
for several more years as a star in
western pictures. Carey has just
completed four years as a western
star. His most recent picture wns a
film aversion of "The Outcast of Poker
Flat," Bret HartS's story. He is soon
to be seen in "The Ace of the Saddle."
