NO VAMPING VAMP
LURES IN 'ANGEL FACE'
Who'd Expect a Theda in an
Operetta With Such
a Name?
In "Angel Face," the George W.
Lederer Forrest production of the
newest Victor Herbert musical comedy,
there is positively guaranteed to bo no
semblance of the xamping vamp. There
is, however, included an artist with
ail tho beauty qualifications of the siren
yet one who has never even had a de
sire to plaj a role of this type.
This is Mary Millburn, who is credited
with having hair of the most attractive
shade, large brown eyes capable of that
peculiar baby btare nnd uplifting tilt
so necessary to that stylo of work, slim
and graceful figure, that if need be can
bo made to undulate in those sinuous
movement? so often pictured to 'breath
less' audiences and with being quiet nnd
nice and generous nnd fond of her little
home and mother. In fact she is said
to lme all the characteristics of the
species vamp as attributed to them by
the hnrd-working prcs3 agent, yet with
all has never even had to refuse a part
on this account. It has always been her
good fortune, as she pictures it, to be
fast for the kind of part that she likes
best, that of the sweet voiinc c Irl. such
ns her role in "Angel Face." This un-
unusual ingenue is said to possess a

TSo artist ou the legitimate or vaude

act comedy drama called "Tho Moth."
This wan written by Fmrnct Dcvoy, but
was produced under the direction of
Mios I'crgcre, who has been called the
"woman IJolasco."
Miss Kcrgcrc is nn acinus ot much
ablllly nnd cxperientc. rihe came fiom
California to play the role ofc u Rus
sian girl in Hartley Campbell's "The
Gnlley Slave." Since then she has
created manv important roles in dra
matic productions and lias been n star
in both stock aud vaudcwlle. Her
greatest success was registered iu the
title role of David Belasco's production
of "Madam Butterfly," in which she
appeared at the old Chestnut Street
Theatre.
It was while appearing under the
direction of Mr. Bclnsco that Miss Ber
gere learned the value of delnil in
making a production us well as iu the
'playing of a character.
Two Authors In Cast
"Angel Face," at the Forrest on
Monday night, can boast of two authors
in its coinpiiny. John F. Young bus
just completed tho libretto and lrics of
a musical comedy entitled, "Say dim,"
and Allele Rowland will, during the
Philadelphia run, collaborate with Hoy
Atwell, now playing in "Apple Blos
soms" in New York, in an original
book.
Tuneful New Herbert Number
"I Might Be Your Once in a While,"
a new musical number among more than
a dozen singing numbers iu "Augel
Face," is said to rank with the most
tuneful of all the lone l'st of popular
airs' composed by A'ictor Herbert. "Angel
Face," lias JJarry J. ssmitn lor its
librettist, aud Robert B. Smith for its
lyricist.
Role Just Suits Adele Rowland
Adelo Rowland's success iu the roles
created by her has been dup to her
cure in playing only parts which bac
suited her personality. In "Angel
Face" bhe portrus tho character of an
actress. It is her claim that it is
the only part she ever plnji'd which
"suited her down to the ground;0 She
sings "I Don't Want to Go liomc,"

To see Cecil Lean in his new musi
cal play. "Look Who's Here," coming
to the Garrick next week, and lo see
.Mr. Cecil Lean, squire of Lcanvillc, N
II., ticar Sunnpcc Falls, N. II,, are
quite two different -things.
Cecil Leau. who is popular hcrc'both
in vaudeville and musical comedy, plajs
two different roles in life. During the
winter scuson he is au actor, but iu
the summer he is a plain Yankee farm
er. Lean is the possessor of COO acre
of lino New Hampshire farm aud tim
ber lauds, with nil the accompaniments
of a modem residence, wood-bound
lakes, mountain xiews and tho suc
cessful contentment that comes front
outdoor work,
Tho Lean rstulc is tdluatcd a half
mile from Suiuipep Falls nud is reached
by an hour's boat ride from Hunapep
harbor. Leaving New York on an early
morning train ouo is due nl Suuapee
Falls about 0 p. m.
NEW STAGING FOR "HAMLET"
Walter Hampden to Play at the
Broad In Special Matinees
AVnltcr Tlmnpdcn will k'ivo inatinrct
of "llnnilpt" nt the liroad, next Mon
day nnd Tuesday..
Mr. Hampden lin a new scenic pio
ductiou of "ITanilct" to olTcr. Not an
elaborate one which Trill clutter up1 the
ataso iu the traditional manner, but
one bimplc ill outline and detail which
is believed perfectly to frunic the pic
ture 'of the tragedy provided by the
company's example. It is said to bo an
excellent example of "modern" btape
settinif.nt its bauest. One virtue of it,
is that the scenery can be handled
easily nnd swiftly, so thut the waits
are biiort and the entire performance,
including iulcnnisslu, requires less
tliuii three hours.
