WHO'S HERE ON NEXT WEEK'S STAGES
I'VVT. BLOSSOMS," one of the
. notable musical comedy successes
f recont sensons, has not been trans
planted to a local stngo yet. out our
suritoni'pit will lmvn n tajit of thn nllallty
i of two-thirds of thn trio who welded the
fA Mot, lyrics and music 'The Half Jloon,"
'-.. which In lo enlnv thn distinction of belnK
Philadelphia's only, theatrical novelty
next week Philadelphia OKTKN enjoya
the distinction of Inning a whole now
how a week I Is by William Le Baron
nnd Victor .Tacoht, who collaborated with
Frit Krelsler In the music of "Apple
DloRsoms." the producer nntl stneo direc
tor of which, Chirles Dllllneham and
Pred Latham, enjoy similar honors In
"Tho Half Moon." Joo Cawthorn, th
featured player, as a wnr-cnrlched porlt
packer, drops his customary dialect and
plays tho part ns straight comedy.
THtJ three openings of tho current
week gave theatre-cocrs a change of
fare. "The Champion" perved Its esien
tlM purpose In prox-Idlnir a suitable
vehicle for Grant Mitchell's Idiom, tal
ents and physique. Skillful stage direc
tion keer8 the pleco going smoothly even
over dull stretches of situation nnd din
lomie. so that tliev are noticed only by
the connoisseur In dramatics. Tho plot
material goes tincK to tne out nasis 01
contract between a staid and parochial
mvlronment nnd an Incongruous per
sonality plumped Into It. In this ense tho
environment t an hncl'ah cathedral
town. In which a highly conventional
family Is disturbed by the Injection M a
Wack-sheep son who has gone to Amer
ica, become the world' lightweight
champion and finally studied law and
won a seat In Conirres. There are some
delightful situation none of them more i
delicious than that of the. ex-champ's i
cordial reception by the titled leaders of
the shire to the utmost surprlso of his
somewhat snobbish family, all too Intent
on "What will people say'" Mr Mitchell
seta away with tho breezy title role In
Treat form. In fact, he's a knockout.
THERE are many delightful moments,
too. In "C'nderella on Broadway,"
"mainly those contributed In tho several
travesties which make this Winter Gar
den show much more "newsy" than the
conventional revue. It alo has a sen-"
of consecutlveness, which la unusual
nowadays. The producers havo rather
attained their Ideal.
The musical revuo as tj pined by ex
travaganzas made up chiefly of choruses,
Individual specialties and vaudeville
' turns Is undergoing a chanjjo and loslni;
1 Its hodge-podge character This sort of
production In some cases beenmo Just a
big variety show. It must now combine
tho features of the old musical comedy
with n plot and a certain amount of
consistency. Audiences bMU demand trm
snap of the popular revue, but they also
want the continuity of light opera. In
'Clnderetla on Broadway" these two
tyles of musical comedy nro brought
together In a reasonably consistent nnd
very enterta'nlng mnnner.

Epeaklng of stage dancing and society
dancing, I want to sav that I do not
think the former ha? had. or will have,
any real effect upon the latter. Expert
stage dancing makes such severe de
mands upon the dancer that Its dally

THERE aro a lot of things about'the
theatre concerning which tho public
has not the latt knowledge One of
them Is that whenever you laugh during
a performance there Is a stage manager
Just out of s'ght around the proscenium,

to time your share In the Bhow. That la
Juat what Prank Westerton, stngo man
ager of the Grant Mitchell company. In
'The Champion," Js doing at the Broad
Street Theatre.
"A laugh to the stage manager Is Just
ma Integral and substantial a thing as
a. eack of meal. It comes to him over
the footlights In a lump sum, and it Is
ten seconds long, or twelve or thirty
ns his luck goes. He measures for
length, breadth and thickness.
Interruption of laughter Is all very
well for purposes of a pleasant time, but
the off-agaln. on-agnln schedule It makes
la another thing yet. and requires cart

That Is why he puts a prosy chronometer
