- EVENING PUBLIC) LEPGER PHITABfiBPHM, S&TUBftAY, DECEMBER 27, 1&19 IS l " iJ F 1' I m it- N&W YEAR'S THE PLAYGOER'S WEEKLY TALK Observations on Plays and Photoplays of Interest to Philadelphians RENAMED the Philadelphia Then trc, the playhouse ut Seventeenth and Do Lnncey stivcts, which used to be the Mttlo Theatre, is about to set forth nlong lines different from those on which it was conducted, and the chanse Is of interest to the local public and to the tjeatrical world Rent-rally. Walter F. Wanger, f New York, the producer ef "John Ferguson." has acquired the thcatrf and will make it a comedy hott-, playing high-class attractions of a character suited to the policy to bo carried oi: there. He will book the Klaw &. Erlanger attractions, so that the Philadelphia is really added to the list of plhjhouses ptMtidiug amusement for local patterns of the theatre. The Philadelobia, or the Little Thea tre, os it was known, has been an in stitution in this city, and formerly oc cupied a unique place in the- local amu'emeut fiebl. The houic was built by Brutal) Jay, wlio.- purpose was to have u hih -class resident conipnuv pre sent well-known nhi. -v - ' -' n produce new ones. The theatre was opened in March. lftlK, tiio iirst play being "The Adventures of Chlorn." Iti October, 101.!. the second season opened with different company, me nrsc offering was "The Yellow Jacket," brought from New York with the entire Original cast. That piece was followed by Percy Mackayc's "Tomonou. ' which was succeeded bv Galsworthy's "Pigeon" and "His Majesty the Fool." 'Afterward came a series of one-act plays. Annie Iiussell came to the thea tre in the spring of 1914 and remained bine weeks, nppearing in old comedies. Tor the season of 1011-15 an Euglish company was brought over, directed bi ll. Iden Payne. This company appeared in Shaw's "Arms and the Man-' and "Admirable Kaslnillc"; in Houghton s "Hindlc Wakes" and a scries of old comedies. In 1015 Edith Wynne Matin Bon was brought to the theatre and ap peared in "The Piper" and "lhc Servant iu the House. and Kalpn Hertz played a special engagement in "Mons. Polrct." During the war pro fessional activities stopped at this theatre, and the house remained prac tically dark until last enr, when Mar garet Anglin played a successful en gagement for three weeks. Walter V. Wanger. who now has the theatre, is one of the ouugi-r nicu in the theatrical field, but h" has achieved a great deal in tlu short time of his activl B. Start'.-'g bis new policy of making he Philadelphia u comedy louse. M-. Wanger arranged for May Irwj in "Oi. the Hiring Lino as his first offering, thereby setting the pace for the merry catcer he hopes to con duct. , , . , This-will be the only theatrical nov elty for the coming wek. As the Little Theatre, the pla house had a checkered career, principally on account of n lack f deiiuitc and con sistent pol'ry. It constantly shifted its program trom an intrigiuug of the "m tellectnals" to u bid for an exclusive .. t-..ti .,!;,.. ..!..

BAIUUE'S ."Dear Brutus" is sea sonably appropriate. It is not a Christmas play, but it is rich iu the moods and feelings that pervade the Yuletide with teudcrucss and charm. Its svmbolism is provocative of tiner. fresher, aspirations for the future and Us poetry is evocative of the worth while, inspirations of the past. As imagined by Barrio, it is the story of what we might have doue if fate but gave us a secoud chance with our lives. I'ity and irouy, above all sympathy, suffuse the episodes detailing what the several characters achieved or failed to achieve in, reshaping their lives. Of course, there is a moral just as there ia one in "A Christmas Carol." to the school of which "Dear Rrutus" belongo by virtue of its simplicity and its sin cerity. As fashioned for the stuge iu the Superb acting of Mr. Gilhtte and his, notable colleagues, it is always an entertainment aud always more than an entertainment. "Dear Brutus" is one of those plays that simply mustn't be missed. 0 F COURSE, "Dear Brutus" is sua- ecptibb of several interpretations. Most intoting of ull is that placed Upon one"ef the most eloquent and moving passages of the piece by the author. Iu expressing his regrets that he would not be able to attend the first American performance, Mr. Barrie rrote: If I were there to appear iu pub lic for the first and only time, I bou!d he well content if the first and only ppceeh of my life was on tho passionate desire of my heart a closer friendship between America and Britain. I bhould probably ninko my speech from Lob's favorite position be neath tho table. Even then the front row only would hear me (and tho others would be the lucky ones). I would have to gay that I could not make a speech to a thousand people, but that if they would join me, one nt a time, beneath the table, I would make a thousand speeches to them. I would tell them that the play, of "Dear Brutus" is an allegory about n gentleman called John Bull, who years and jears ago missed the op portunity of his life Oiko Bacon when hq did not write Shakespeare). The Mr. Dearth of the play is really Jphn Bull as Mr. Gillette cunning ly indicates by his figure. Margaret, 1u6 Might Have Been, is really Amer ica. The play shows how on the fields of Franco this father and daughter get a second opportunity of coming together: and the nightingale is George Washington asking them to do it on his birthday. Are the two now to make it up permanently, or for ever to drift apart? Second chances come to few, and as for a third chance, whoever heard of it? It is now or never. If it is now, foinething will have been accomplished greater tbau the war itself: democracy will have sown its noblest seed, the fruit whereof America was created to cm; fqrtb, that every child born into the world should have an equal chance. The future ot mankind is listening for oUr decision J if wc cannoUrlse to tho second chance ours will be the blame, but the sorrow will be posterity's. AVo shall baveU to if ay ,j-ad!y enough: ''Tlje fault, dear Jonathan, U not Ju our stars But in ourselves, that wc are under- 1 lings." T J. M.

EVERYBODY who knows him com ments on Sam Bernard's penchant for high collars. He always wears them and is never happy without one about his neck. Sam was asked yesterday, in the Lyric, where ho is starring iu "As You Wore," why he sticks to them so tenaciously. "Don't understand how any man can stand to wear a low collar. A lovcollar is an ntroeity and affords no comfort, while a high collar protects the neck from cold, sharp winds in the winter time and prevents sunburn iu the summer time. "Isn't that enough to expect of a collar? Can ou expect it from u low collar? A little reasoning will make the, answer in favor of the high collar, and I am going to keen on wearing them whether anbody else does so or not." S'ficieney! HERE is Mr. Belasco's idea on sex plajs in general and "Tiger, Tiger" in particular: "The greatest poems have been in snired bv ex passion, the most beautiful music has been builded upon this theme. The living literature of the world is based upon the lo" -f man and woman for each other. "In the fields of modern drama tLs mot potent cxairfnlc of the sex play of which I can think are 'The Second Mrs. Tanqueraj ,' 'The Easiest Way,' and 'Tiger! Tiger!' Because. 'The Sec oud Mrs. Tanqueray' depended so much upon the long arm of coincidence, it is my opinion that 'Tiger! Tiger!' is the niore human and more vital drama. The heroine of Eugene Walter's" wonderful 'The Easiest Way' was a very poor specimen of womanhood not to be compared with Sally of 'Tiger! Ti ger!'" TO BE home at Christmas time is the ambition of most persons. Iu the theatrical profession this is often im possible, because of the demand for en tertainment upon the part of the public upon this fetal day. In order that thesninns hereabouts should have lute jollification, Manager Jordan, of Keith s in association with the managers of the other theatres, tendered them the sec ond annual family party, at midnight on Christmas at the Adclphia Hotel. Hero were assembled many of the per formers who work upon the one day in the vear which everybody cKc likes to have for u holiday. An impromptu vaudeville program, a "home" Christ mas dinner and dancing was the order of the evening.
