JOHN DREW FEATURES
"CAT-BIRD" COMEDY
1
Hjs Wizardry Keeps Cultured
Audience Interested Through
out Unusual. Evening
The masic of .lolin Drew's name filled
t,e Philadelphia Theatre Inst nlglit.
The wizardry of..Tolin Di;v present
tcpt n cultured audience interested
throiislioiit nn unusual evening.
"Th" Cat-Ilird" is described as a
w comedy by llunort IIiiRbps. Hut
It really I""'' " Pla5" at "" Kv'Ty
(.,, n a while the cute little thliiR
,orin(.d to lime a ntXion to become a
n!8.. hut juf't as sure as it perked up
nnl "illf-plnycrt symptoms of allowing
vonK-thing to happen somebody came
along and choked it with a lot of words.
The words weren't half bad at that.
Once in n'1"" t,icy became fairly
..cintilliiiit.
The piece hss lots of plots. There
was a scorpion who IrisVd his sweet
hnrt and looked perfectly horrid : nnd n
spider who. after winning his bride, was
fitfn b her: and n couple of plajful
r,ttl?niukes; and erer so mnuy. immoral
insects and wanton flowers. And nil
were on the stnge nt the same time, the
ceoe being the vivnrium of Martin
flloaiK a scientist, who really is no
body in the world but Mr. Drew. And
there was n dear little girl who wanted
to pee life; and a clever lover who was
a linnus and an ardent lover who was
acauninn; nnd "a premature widow"
and "a very young youth" ; and n
tenor and a business man ; who combine
to tell a story that persisted in being
inane despite beautiful stage' settings
and the clever reading of Mr. Drew nnd
Miss Ileecher.
Jlr, Hhakespenre was wiong: Not
the nhn , but the illustrated lecture is
the thins. "The Cat-Uird" is Hn il
lustrated lecture. The butler began it.
lie told the business man of the per
fectly scandalous conduct of the in
sects that visited the flowers in the
garden. Then Mr. Drew took up the
Iheme and discoursed on birds and but
terflies and bees and humans and their
vex piohlems particularly their sex
pioblcms. Then everybody else came in
(0 illustrate his various points.
And the lecture was so darned inter
esting that the audience applauded
gain and again.
And really, you know, one should go
and see "Tho Cat-Bird" if only to find
out how it got its name. It is the
litest thing!
ALICE BRADY AT THE LYRIC
''Forever After" Is Just Sweet and
Sad in Turn
A Mther sweet, tender nnd at times
a rather sad little story of youthful
romance with a touch of the war at
mosphere is the burden df "forever
ftT, ' presented at the li.vric last
night The piece has little substance
,iud will not add anything to thu repu
tation of cither star or playwright.
IMotccs of the movies fhould feel
lierfietly at home at a performance of
jlie piece, however. They not only
rull line! that Owen Davis, the author,
has adapted the trick of the "fadeout"
and the "flashback," but also will sec
Mice Ilrady, star of many screen pro
durtioiih, in the leading role. Miss
Iiradj, nt times only, shows evidence of
icol histrionic ability. This is in some
emotional "moments" in tho third net.
The play is based, for the most pait,
on the lomantic events in tho life of
a piior boy as these are told in the
roungs of the youth ljing delirious mi
the Hold In No Man's Land. In the
jjriiosoincncs of the wilderness, suf
tiruig, we find the boy and hear him
mutter the story of his shattered ro
mance, and calling upon the girl. Then
the fadeout and the events are enacted
as the) are supposed to have occurred.
Then buck to the battlefield, moie of
the story, nnd then the visualization.
All of which is n little confusing. The
stun hns some element of interest.
Miss TJrady has brought her big, ex
paii'ne smile with her, and it is far
more engagiug in the reality than it
fer was in the "shadow" of the
motion picture theatre. She also has a
personality that wins, but it was far
more effective in the silent drama.
lames L. Crane was n fair leading man
for the star.

mrroundeiLby a fairly capable cast, of

Marie Cahill, charming and enter'
taining as ever, is one of several pieces
dc resistance on the menu of vaudeville
served at Keith's this week. The bril
liant musical comedy star appears iu
what she chooses to call "Cahlllisms
of 1020," which, translated from "pro
grninesc," evidently means twenty min
utes of clever songs and bj -products of
chatter, which resulted in a scries of
curtain calls.
"Once Upon a Time," n condensed
musical farce, in which Jack Prince
ton furnishes most of the fnrce nnd
Leon Leonard and four attractive girls
are responsible for most of the music,
is pleasing. The story revolves about
a dream by a bachelor of his old-time
sweethearts, which justify almost any
complications. Mr. Princeton makes
his audience laugh over prohibition an
accomplishment in itself.
Artie Mehlingcr and Oeoige W. Mey
er are held over for tho second week in
their rapid-tire presentation of Mr.
Meyer's popular compositions. The
composer was absent from the matinee
josterdny because of illness.

"Poughkeepsie" is a comedy playlet of
amusing lines, nnd Louise Carter nnd

Broadway A decided relief fiom the
ordinary run of vaudeville features is
to be found in "Janet of France." It
is n sinirine act with new ancles and
La substantial idea. Cahill and ltoniaine
nrc delightful comedians. Aelson and
Bailey also have a fresh and pleasing
offering. Cecil B. DeMille's feature
photoplaj, "Male and Female," com
pletes the bill.
Cross Keys "Tho Love Garden," a
musical comedietta of good taste nnd
color, won a good share of the applause,
but Dorothy Drew and Harry Lamout,
with their comedy circus, proved as
popular. Other acts that proved worth

in tho fun riot. Ununett Welch sings
several new songs in the first part and
there are new acts in tho olio which

laughing feature.

Like n thunderbolt out of the past

In the Kentucky mountains. The feud

logue, iu which the big point in the
story is established. The fear of elec
tiical storms is instilled in the last of
the house of Corbin when thnt child

witnessing her husband's death and her
homo's destruction by 'a falling tree
struck by lightning.

done, but the marriage is for icvengc,
and the love theme is lacking until the
very end of the story, where the lTus
hand realizes that he truly loves the
woman he has taken lu payment of the
torgery.
An interesting passage iu the story
makes it clear thnt the man does not

secure his true loe, and the baby born
of this union is the bond that ties up

the saving in coal bills

According to n letter from

Willie Collier Wears Victorious
Colors in Horse Play With

The roiisetiMiK of the dopc-tcrs nt the
Broad last night was that William Col
lier won the sweepstakes of laughter in
Victor Manes's stceplcchnpe fnrce, "The
Hottentot." Those who placed the price
of admission to the course against nn
evening of hilarity capitalized their long
shot to the fullest of entertainment. If
it had been n regular "boss race" one
would have rated the entries: Collier,
on the.nose : Ann Andrews for pluce and
Donald Meek for siiow. with the olheis.
fillies and otherwise, of the field pretty
good runners-up in the Garrison finish.
Tt isn't a regular horse race that gives
substance nnd farcical situations to the
plot which underlies this horse play
without horseplay. It's an amateur
steeplechase. Mr. Collier is u gentleman
jockey, and looks and nets both with
characteristic deftness. The plot mater
ial, somewhat attenuated, is fattened up
with nmusinc business anil clever lines.
It pivots on the rather familiar farcical

Mr. Collier brought the ease nnd
