To say that thero is something suited to all f lastcs is to express truth in n bromid om. Mondny night will see new bills on at six houses. From the artistic ( standpoint, the main offering will be 3rrie's wDcar Brutus." with Wil- liatn Glltcttotaq star. Changes in lnu- Mcal shows will bring "The Uainbow . girl," with Hilly Van; "As You Were," with Sam Bernard and Irene t Berdonl. and a new edition of "The r Piwsing Show of 1018." "The Little 'f Shepherd of Kingdom Come," a dramat ization of John Fox's popular novel, will , be shown here for the first time. And, . Iy way of farce, comes "Breakfast in -Bed," featuring Florence Moore. SHAKESPEARE has been the source of inspiration in the past for Barrie. At few seasons ago Maude Adams an Dsarcd in n topsy-turvy version of "Th CTamini,' of the Shrew." In it Pctru chio did none of the taming, but was forced to bend the knee to the shrewish Katherlne. Bnrrio called the play "The Toadies' Shakespeare," meaning, of course, Shakespeare as the feminists "would bavo it. "Dear Brutus," Bar tie's newest comedy, in which we are to eeo William Gillette next week, was very obribusly suggested by "A Midsummer ,Kight's Dream." Its action takes place fin Midsummer Eve, and ono of its i Important characters Is named Lob, who is the host of the other figures in he play. Lob, it will be remembered, Jsons of the aliases of that tricksy .spirit. Puck, or Robin Goodfellow. Barrie gives credit to the lino in "Julius .Caesar" for the title of the play, "The .fault. Dear Brutus, is not in our stars, lint in ourselves, that wo are under Jibes." However, it is a surety, he -smiled whimsically, when be did so, for "Dear Brutus" is capable of being 'translated to read "Dear Audience." TTTVBRYTHING mores in cycles. - William Gillette, who is to play in Barrie's "Dear Brutus," will also be Mealled as the original butler in "Male and Female," now being exhibited to tally and pronounced one of the great est screen successes of the dav. Cecil Je Mille fashioned the silent drama from Barrio's Comedy, "The Admirable 43rlchton." TBANOES STAIUt was good enough the other day to discuss Sally, the fccoot-lady, which is tho character she Impersonates in the widely discussed Knoblock "sex-play." i"SaIIy Is a very interesting girl," paid Miss Starr. "I have never pluvcd a character of her type before. The girl in The Easiest Way' was the near est thing to it, but she was of another type. It is not strange that the member of Parliament should have fallen in love "with Sally, even if she was a cook. But remember that he did not know she was a cook until later, and then he nnarreled with her. The appealing thing about Sally was her brightness' arid independence. She was not very "well educated, but ehe was intelligent fcnd talked well. .JJXln saying that two people are united oaiy oy tne torce or physical attraction, 3LthUikthe critics have missed the point of the last net. After two rears snent together they quarrel, and he goes to the war. Then he sums up the whole .story by the little poem that clearly shows there was a spiritual bond be tween them, and it w&s not solely a natter of physical attraction. "When a play deals with sex hon estly and frankly, and there is no gild ing vice, it is a play worth while. The thine to consider is that if the audience .leaves the theatre believing that vice pays, then you have done wrong ; but if the audience is sent away with the con "viction that vice does not pay you have 'done honestly and wisely. "If playwrights were not to write about men and women there would be bo drama. We all know that there are frailties in human nature, and the most Interesting characters on the stage are ft those that are perfect. The public at large, in my opinion, takes a very common sense view of these things. "We in the dramatic profession at iitnes underrate the intelligence of audiences, but I have observed that tbey have a great deal of Intelligence." lAxtd so has Miss Starr, if the Playgoer may presume to speak as one molecule of; an audience. IftpERHAPS it may seem gratuitous '", for me to praise the dramatiza tion that Mr. Toler has made of 'The JUttie Shepherd of Kingdom Come,' " Tojd J. J. Owens, who has the role of i Joel Turner, when he arrived in cast ? tho otner day "but I am familiar ,." ' Kentucky and I know that the pnia sphere' ,has been admirably caught tantamo playwright. He has been adept tax rat'C''DS t'18 PrPer material from I. f'm Fox novel or this play, but is untottat jg t0 be elpe(;ted, for Mr. comcer ia an actor of experience and he Upoi also a playwright who has shown o Himself on several occasions to be most o mmseti o fvlffflcjent. "I am not easily convinced tn th wiry of a play for I am keenabout fidelity to type and to locale. When I was in "Under Southern Skies' I had occasion to study southern types and I discovered characteristics that escape tlie casual observer. Fox understood perfectly the men and women of the Somueraora ot inac aay um not greatly Ufer from those contemporary with the author. Of course there was the tetruager feeling engendered by the con .fKiveray over state rights and on tho subject of slavery. But the -type per Mkted and continues to persist no less in (South Carolina than In Kentucky. Fox B4eratood those people the hardy jBMWintaineers. He showed that in bis flCh Trail of the Lonesome Pine' and, apt as convincingly in 'The Little Hbapherd of Kingdom Come.r They are jNtople of strong convictions and of tardy manhood. Honesty is a shib Wieth with them and yet they have pinions that to Northerners seem al ,Wt Uke fanatic adherence to fancied Jrl)tS. ' There is one thing that is especially 'Maunendable, I believe, in bringing to til Btago such plays as this and that is M ,wholesomenesa of the effort. It is a BBOtfacuon to tne earnest actor to be in liny ot this type. We have had a sur ki'of the sex drama and now, with moral noer 01 me worm strength- oy scarifying ot ino war, It eood influence to have the staire attention to drama that in with. oxense. aUDIENCES do not realize that " there is another performance going , m pesina loe scenes, anu (aat H la no: amUiw the one they are witnessing.

LITTLE SHEPHERD OF KINGDOM COME walnut"" The silent Thespians are the under studies, vhose duties require that they be prepared to go on the stago at a moment's notice and fill tho role of an indisposed actress or actor. In order that the manager of tho com pany mny know just where he can place his people who arc not of the de gree of a star, he gives them the parts of the featured actors to learn. The time comes when the stage manager calls for a rehearsal of these under studies'. They gq through their respec tive roles with ni much vim and en thusiasm as is found in the seasoned player. Not that they wish to have anything happen to the stars who have the roles they arc understudying, but each and every one of them longs for opportunity to play to the audience and hhow capacity for just a little bet ter part. Many girls are able to fill any role In Um show to which they are attached. Frances McLaughlin, of the "Oh, My Dear" com KDcnds an hour every day at the In rehearsal 01 mo day be called upon roles Bhe ma; to play. "J1 (aid as b1" room, "ff ays prepared, sne , to ner dressing itar of today has been an f yesterday." COMPOSER NOW REVUE-ER Anatol Frledland Offering Elaborate One at Keith's Anatol Friedland Is known primarily as a composer of popular songs and his compositions are known in all corners of the world. He seems to be fortunate in being able to write the kind of music that is generally liked. Last year ho entered vaudeville with L. Wolfe Gilbert, a well-known Phil adelphian and ono of the most success ful song writers of the period. This season, Mr. Friedland has entered a new field as a producer and he comes to Keith's as a special Christmas week feature in an elaborate revue. It is called "Music Land," and Mr. Fried land is supported by a big company of girls, real stage beauties with voices, and has for principals Alma Adair, Phoebe Whiteside. Neil Mack, Lucille Fields and Marie Hall. A Leading Woman at Nineteen Helen Menken i3 just nineteen, and one of the youngest leading women upon the American stage. Her professional career began at six in Annie Russell's "Midsummer Night's Dream" production. Next she was with DeWolf Hopper in "The Pied Piper," in flHumpty Dumpty," a sea son with Eddie Foy in "Hamlet of Broadway" and with Adeline Genee. Followed two years of on English school and then training in Percy Has twell's stock organization. Her work was rewarded with big roles in "Too Many Cooks," "Sinners" and "Pen dennis," with John Drew. Then came an engagement with "Parlor, Bedroom nnd Bath." When John Golden was casting "Three Wiso Fools," Austin Strong, the author, suggested Miss Menken for the leading female role. From her first rehearsal it was evi dent that she was a dramatic find. Balloting on Prlzma Popularity A test has Just been completed to as-4 certain the popularity o: 1'rlzma natural color motion pictures. This ballot was taken during the past three months and indications point to the fact that the general public want these color films as much as do hose who appreciate the more beautiful ot the motion art sub jects It has been found 'that the exhibitors want the color films as a relief to the eyes of their patrons, for it Is not nn usual for tha screen to contain an hoar and a half of black-and-white shadow figures. The color ia put into the film at the time It is recorded and not stenciled, as is the case with some other colored films. Local Qlrl In Phlladelphlan'a 8klt Mildred Gregory, a Philadelphia girl, who appears this week with Florence Hackett and company at the Globe, in "The Make Believe Marriage," was formerly a newspaper wpman.
