LecaJ Tlwatres Return te Nermal With Departure of "Or
plums" and Resumption of Legitimate Shows at Ferrest
By IIKNRY M. NEEL.Y
"ClOll the Inst eight weeks we hnve had only six theatres plavlng legitimate
A. attractions, hut, with the departure of Griffith's Him, "Opiums of the
Storm, from the Ferrest, the list gees back te the usual seven. Tlic plan of
the .Shuberts te add this house te their new vaudeville chain has apparently been
dropped, and it will piny revues and musical comedies for the rest of the season.
THE 101S edition of the Geerge White 1
"Scandals" will mark the resump-
Hen of the old policy at the Ferrest,
while "Drifting." the new melodrama
CLAYTON'S i w,t" "-"ben W nrwlck and Helen Men
SONS ' kc" ""weeds Hedge at the Adelpbl,

i lie wcck.
The Canter revue. "Make It Snap
py, " remains at the Shtihert; "The Geld
Diggers" stnvB at the Bread, "Ladles'
Night" continues at the Lyric, "The
O'llrlen Glrl"at theGarrlck and "Main
Street' at the Walnut.
"Whcre. Ignorance Is WW and all
that sort of thing Is quite true, and It
happens te be exceptionally fortunate
for the audiences,
One Actress which are crowd-
Can Make lng the Brend
Shew Different Street Theatre for
every performance
of "The Geld loggers."
Fer the fact remains that this Bclasce
production of the Avery llopwend farce
has lest much of Its sparkle and charm
since its-run in New Yerk. The an
swer Is, beyond doubt, the departure
from the cast of Ina Claire. The dif
ference is astonishing, lind only gees te
show, once again, what a single attrac
tive personality can de toward mukiug
u dhow's success.
I understand that when "The Geld
Diggers." first opened In Washington,
way hack somewhere in the Dark Ages,
the plot structure revolved around the
character of Mabel, the slangy one,
plnycd by .Tebynn Hewland, but, little
by little, Miss Clalre endowed the part
of Jerry Lamur with such sympathy.
and still with such perfect reality, that
she became the leading ligure, and re
' mn I tied se when the comedy went te
i New Yerk.
i Ucrtrude Vanderbllt, who succeeded
rhcr and Is playing the role of Jerry
here, 4s i clever vaudeville artiste, a
hard working, sincere young actress,
I but she laeks the Inherent personality
I and the understanding of Mi's Claire.
Slie has made Jerry a much mere
vulgar, far ess sympathetic, and ccr-
' l ii I uly mm lien- nearly the outstanding
. personage that Miss Claire outlined.
It serins ns If Uclusee lias purposely
aided In this cheapening and coarsen
lug of the part; as, witness, the
momentary and entirely superfluous
appearance of the jeung lady hi the
doorway clad In most intimate lingerie.
That doesn't gee with the type of per
son Miss Claire created. Ner de the
little actions and by-play of Miss Van
derbllt, which may make for reality
(since the character Is that of the
miich-nbiiscd chorus girl), but de net
help win the audience s sympathy.
Strangely enough, tee, this change In
lending Indies, and the difference In
their methods of playing their roles, have
actually made Miss 1 lowland's Mabel
less amuSlng. That Is probably explain
able In the fact Hint, formerly, the
contrast between the refinement of
Jerry and the exaggerated "tough
ness" of Mabel accentuated the
humor of the latter. Certnlnly her lines
are funny enough, and her deep voice
and unusual methods are inherently
laudi-proveklne.
"The (Told Diggers" needed just a
strong, potent and attractive person
ality as Miss Claire's, and suffers with
out it. , , ,
THERE'S mere truth than poetry in
the old story of the stage-deer
tender who had one day oft in twenty
vears and hpent it visiting another
'otnge-deor tender. 1 found that out the
ether day. .
Eddie Canter lias nothing te de eight
times a week but sing in his new revim.
"Make It Snappy." and listen te ethers
Mnging when he is changing his cos
tumes. , , .
Sundav, supposedly a day of rest for
iieters, there came hnlf a dozen urgent
telephone calls for the star, but he
couldn't be found ut any of his usual
haunts. , ,
Finnllv he was discovered contentedly
lolling in an easy chair at a friend s

THAT faralllnr name of Cohnn Is
shining again in the theatrical flr
iimment with its accustomed brilliance.
While Philadelphia Is gettlnu nn oppor eppor opper
tunltv te see his favt-mevinc and uc
lightful "O'Brien Girl," Mr. Cehnji
hns been busy with ether plays.
"Madeline of the Movies," In which
his dnuuhtcr Georgette Is the lending
wninnn. opened last week in Atlantic
Cltv and gees at once te New i"- "
I- described as a combination of Seven
Keh te Bnldpate" and "The Tavern,"
which sounds Interesting, and. natu
uillv. It hns reference, though only Indi
icetlv, te the much-abused cinema.
Speaking of "The Tavern." that
rileasine oddity Is again en the stage,
under Cehan's management, and takes
the read next week. The season could
conic e no mere delightful conclusion
here than by a glimpse of this curious
travesty-melodrama. The Gurrlck has
always been lucky for Cehan; wttness
"The O'Brien GLrl" and I "Mary." .
Tin. BiiereHKer te "The O Brlen Girl"
Is te be "Kitty Kelly," and Cehan ex
pects te run It nil summer in Bosten,
se we probably won't get It here for a
year or mere.
Incldcntnlly, the next few Cehan mu
sical comedies ought te have softer beds
than "The O'Brien Girl." The latter
was handicapped by following "Mary
and being ndvertlsed as the latter s
"little sister." That reputation is a
prettv heavv ene for any play ; but, de

HUGHEY D'ARCY IS 79; WROTE
"FACE ON BAR-ROOM FLOOR
Old Theatrical Man te Mark
Anniversary Quietly at Club
in New Yerk
Ejection of "Drunk" Frem Sa Sa
eeon Brought Idea for Peem
Known te Thousands
nughey D'Arcy will be seventy-nine
years old tomorrow and will celebrate
his birthday in the Green Roem Club,
in New Yerk, sitting In the big arm
chair always reserved for him, with his
friends about him.
Yeu mav net knew Hughey D'Arcy
by name, though there are many Phila
delphians who will remember him. But
it's 10 te 1 that you knew "The Face
en the Barroom Fleer," which he wrote
away back in 1887.
Thnt isn't its correct title, by the
xvay. The author culled It "The Face
Upen the Fleer," but the public, who
bae Immortalized this "enlc of the
saloon," have Insisted en renaming it
n spite et llughcy u'Arcy'f, pretests.
D'Arcy, still a hale old man. has en
joyed a varied career, always asso
ciated with the theatre. vHe has been
everything from callboy te lmnressrie.
He has written close te a hundred ether
fieems, which have been collected in a
Ittle volume, nud M the author of
thirty-one plays.
Peem Still Popular
The popularity of "The- Face Upen
the Fleer "Is attested by the many re
quests for copies of the poem received
by the editor of the People's Porum of
the Bvenine Public Ledeek, Ne
daily mail te the Forum editor is with
out n dozen requests for the poem, and
literally thousands of copies have been
sent out.
Mr. D'Arcy relates that he wrote the
poem in August, 1887. after he had
seen a ragged, dirty tramp thrown out
of u Fourteenth street cufe. in New
Yerk, wliere lie wns begging drinks.
The tramp priced te be a highly edu
cated mnn and an artist, who had .been
ruined bv liquor.
The uutlier thus tells the story of the
peem:
"One night in 1887 some men wcre
bcatcd about a table In the rear of Jee
Schmidt's saloon, then n fumeus ren
dezvous for thestrlcnl folk. In the
party were Colonel Mtlsera manager of
the Opera Heuse at Nashville. Tenn. :
