Miss liinnev. who comes in "J19 East," has made the role of the slavey in the same play a permanent character in the film version which whs made by Kealart PicturcH. An interesting thing about Miss TMnney's nppearauce in this city iH the fact that last December she appealed in n minor role nt the same theatre to which she now comes as n costar. An nouncement will be made shortly as to the movie theatre which will display her new film featuring the young star, who by the way. m a rlnlaurlpmnn. THOSE who have enjoyed the "Scan daln of lflin" at the Forrest this week will be pleased to learn that Oeorge White proposes each eai to give a similar entertainment under the same title. He has already started to think about the "Scandals of 11)0." "Just as we have attempted nnd suc ceeded to some extent in making the first 'Scandals' different from the av erage musical revue, so I hope to nehieve the same result in successive editions," Mr. White told the playgoer. ivt snail nnu ine inaiermi iwr our book in the news of the day. Our fundamental idea, you see. is to present nn entertainment thnt strikes midway between a burlesque nnd satire of out standing current events We shall scnndalfze, if I may use the word, the topics of the day. "Of such subjects will our annual 'Scandals' productions be made. We do not claim to have discovered a new mine of entertainment, but we have hit Upon a new way of working an old rnlne. And that, after all, is the only sourre of genuine novelty in a thea tr." There is something of n cohnnlnri dence between Mr. White nnd the w. k", George 51. Both started as dancers. both became producers by the misicni extravaganza route. George Cohan lias since become playwright and producer of more ambitious dramatic forms. It remains to be seen if George White will keep the analogy tvorking. He is very ambitious; he has ideas, and he in young. Youth is characteristic by the way of both the temperament nud personnel of the "Scandals." 1 T.HTBV IttnePHPAriSnV UfVUVW SjUj, X. is living, pro tern., on eggs nud ice cream, nut to dc strictly in character ijie ghould confine himself to potheen nd loblolly.

"Nobody, unless Iip has an exceptional voice or unusual talent, should venture before the footlights until he is at least seventeen nr eighteen years old. It's too easy to become blase and worldly " Mr. Foy was forthwith asked why present-day actors weren't of the same caliber as those of years ago. "Why they're not?" as ne finally got ine question, --vtny, necnuse the show business of today is too coinincrolalUed ; has been for thirty years. Hcoause tin actors nowadays haven't the education the old ones got. I menu the theatrical education. They haW-n't got the voice control. Look at men like Hnrrigau nnu nan. rut inese down: .1.
