MATRIMONIAL FARCE
WALNUT'S FIRST SHOW
"Unklssod Bride" Opens 111th
Season at Historic
Playhouse
The historic old AValmit. oldest play
house in America, opened its 111th sea
son last night with "The L'nkissed
Bride," n farce by Charles Dcmorcst,
which had llkowlse somo claims to
historicity. The situations which (he
playwright has dressed up In the up-to-date
trappings and somewhat risque
dialogue of the modem school of parlor,
bedroom nnd bnth farces deilvc their
historical lineage at least from rare old
Ben Jouson, who flourished iu the
spacious days of the great Elizabeth,
though ho wrote "Epicene" in the m,ucb
more constricted times ot the first
James.
The essential theme is the sauic'-tho
perpetration of matrimony as means of
deception between nn impecunious
nephew and nn opulent and tight-fisted
uncle. By n simple process of reversal
the playwright iff "The Unkisscd
Bride" transmutes Ben Jonsou into
originality. Jouson has the uncle mar
rying, Demurest has the nephew prac
ticing ii camouflage marriage in order
to get a large, juicy check for a wed
ding present aud there you are.
The addition of a bathroom is the
only modern 'improvement in the archi
tecture of farce since the days when
rare old Ben typed his scripts. Mr.
Dcmore.'-t goes one further than his
colleague who wrote a popular farce
recently in that lie not only has the
bedroom and the bath, but has them
visible fiom the "parlor" through scen
ery transparent when the lights are
turned in them. But that is the limit
of his audacity, for they arc mostly
shown vacant.
"The tnkissed Bride" is no worse.
morally, or from the standpoint of
"rama or entertainment, than such
other specimens of its school ns "Twin
!t,l " "Pnir nnrl U'ami, " "n,e
'"'. .. .. ........I,, V.W
Vicht." and "Parlor. TtrHrenn nml
Bath " It is not at all shocking to
a person of average sophistication,
though it would be n bit out of place
for a Sunday-school entertainment.

Torpedoes Casino With Mirth and
Music Other Burlesques
Records of laughter were torpedoed
out of existence' yesterday when Lew
Kelly's brand new show, "The Sub
marine Man" took the Casino nudicuco
into port a willing captive.
The cast has been well selected and
earned the npplausc given. Jcanetto
Buckley holds the position opposite tha
star, but her honors in the performance
are not reflected glory. She is n bright
light by herself. The chorus has somas'
,iient dauce steps nnd It can sing far
above the average.
BMOr "Girls, Girls. Girls." tl-n
some more girls, is the caption for this
week's performance and it is a pretty
nnd active chorus that gives the at
traction Mts niagiietJL' name. Snita
Monro capably headed the cast and is
supported by Myrtle Cherry, Betty
Palmer nnd Billy Lawrence, last sea-
son a Dumont favorite. rw&
TBOCADERO "The Aviator Girls''
proved aces at song, dance nnd comedy;
Two entertaining burlettns filled thn
good bill. "Honey Moon Beach." and
"Flying High." Among the leaders in
the show were Ethel Shutta, demure
comedienne, and Florence Bogard, tune
