"Swifty? a Tale Of a Suave Prize Ring Champion Hale Hamilton in Role of a Bayard of th? Pillowed Gloves at the Playhouse; Another Gentleman Jim "?witty." a comedy In three acts, by John Pet?r Tootaey ar.d Walter C. Per Oval,' produced ?t lht> Playhouse by Wil? liam A. Brady, with th? -following ?a?t: J*tT#?_-n Proctor.William Holden <h**t_f.?ur. Ktmcr Nleholl? Milton .Robert Ayrton Swifty Mor.ar? .Hal? Hamilton Tom Proctor.Humphrey Hogart Mr?. Klmbatl .Grace Ooodall Helen Klmball.Helen Scott Miriam Proctor .Prance? Howard Alle?.Margaret Moeler Pir?t detective . Ouy Hltner Second detective.John O. Hewitt In "Swifty" the authors have prc ?ented an urbane prize fighter^ a gentleman who has retired from the ring a handsome champion of the mezso-weights to coach unathletic youths and become squire to the paunches of sedentary life. Under a roof of much luxury and pride the ex champion discovers in his boxing protege the spoiler of his sister. But a noble mind and a knighty spirit has Swifty Morgan, who. never yet fought fould. And by aid of his dashing per? son and his fetching way with women he finds honorable means in Tom Proctor's own family to wring the Proctor conscience and bring re? pentance to his bosom. Hale Hamilton dowers the pugilist ?with a debonnair grace, an undamaged set of features and an ingratiating mode cf conversation seldom seen in the ring or out of it. In getting a line on Swifty'a battles one might im? pulsively go lo a record of debates ere thinking of Mr. Spaulding's indis pensible yearbook. In the part op? posite Mr. Hamilton is seen Miss Frances Howard, a petted tyrant of the household which the champion ha3 been employed to put into condition. An arch, graceful, witching slender girl -?ho conducts the willing eye to most pleasing places on the Playhouse stage. Humphrey Bogart as the erring young man, Tom Proctor, did an ex? cellent bit of work in the main. Many of the lines of the play are by? lines?done in the topical manner. Things are held together by an ancient ??aw and a modern instance. Into the conversation are brought sheaves of rmart allusions from Babe Ruth and the Vice Society to Battling Billy Sunday and prohibition. One of the ? iris was plied with hospitality and lunch until she was, as sho said, 'squiffy." This is the occasion for a ' epical line and the host says, "What fhe needs is an ocean voyage on an American liner." In fact, if you have : ny droll devotion or misshapen pas? sion from sports to politics, from music I ) morals, you can go to "Swifty" and gat a line that has been tested for the *.ugh. B. F. Belle Baker Excellent In Songs at the Palace Leader in Emotional Colora? tura Deals in Smiles and Tear?; an Entertaining Bill Belle Baker rewarded admirers at the ^alace Theater yesterday with a recital ? f high virtuosity in the art of song dramatization, lyrical characterization ? nd emotional coloratura. Miss Baker v.-as the first woman entertainer to de ' ote herself to this now popular art of fie music hall, and she is its undis t uted leader. She has regained much of her girlish silhouette, and she was . Itogether an attractive looking figure i the Palace* stage. She deals in the stuff of laughter and ' ^ars. Even when she is most amusing ?'-?.ere is an undercurrent of pathos, and In her saddest, of songB one feels that ant-lea are not far away. Her material i excellent and her method vastly im roved. The united Cansino family danced in he Spanish mode. It is a fiery and original darclng entertainment. They ?ave taken the most attractive features 11 their native dances and added some Hale Hamilton In John Peter Toohey's comedy, "Swifty,'* produced by William A. Brady at the Playhouse. speedy American trleks. Aunt Jemima, singer of syncopated songs, made her first appearance at the Palace.. She was accompanied by Joe Raymond and his Little Club orchestra. Robert Em mett Keane and Claire Whitney ap? peared in "The Gossipy Sex," a clever sketch, with amusing chatter and en? tertaining situations. Johnny Dooley Enlivens Central Theater Revue Johnny Dooley is the busiest person on the combination revue and vaudeville bill at the Central Theater this week. He tries his hand at about everything, and in fairness to Johnny it should be said that the audience yesterday after? noon seemed to like everything he did. The revue half of the program con? sists of the presentation of "Town Talk," a Barney Gerard show. The principals arc Dooley, Chester "Rube" Nelson, Bert Walton and Eddie Green and Ethel Gray. James B. Carson, a player who has been identified with many musical productions, has the big? gest feature of the vaudeville half with an act called "The Music Publish? ers." Frank Bacon and Nine Fontaine appear on the program as the "World's Greatest Dancing Skaters," and Riano, Northlane and Ward do what is called "Nutty Nonsense." Stover Recital Pleases There were commendable features in the singing of Miss Helen Stover, so? prano, who gave a recital at Aeolian Hall last evening- She has a pleasing voice, considerable knowledge of the laws of song, combined with sufficient temperament, intelligence and imag? ination to make her interpretations I interesting. These gift? would have ; been more effectively displayed had her voice been better equalized. As it was her tones were unusually rich, warm and beautiful in the mid? dle and lower registers, but strained and shrill in the extreme upper notes. With study this contrast should be les? sened, if not completely obliterated. Slovenly diction in French and Ger? man is another matter which requires improvement. Her program con? tained among others songs by Brahms, Schumann, Wolff, Duparc, Widor, Poldowski, Kramer, Carpenter and Ganz. ? - i... i "Blossom Time" to Move Again "Blossom Time," now in its second year on Broadway, Is to move again. Next Monday night the operetta will go from Jolson's Fifty-ninth Street Theater to the Century, the third thea? ter*^ which the company has played since the opening. On the Screen _-_?_____ "Wonder? of th? Sea" Is Fasci? nating Film) "Prisoner of Zend?" Wins Praise By Harrjettc Underbill "Wonders of the Sea," made by J. E. Williamson, has been added to the feature, "The Face in the Fog," at the Rialto Theater, but it seeme that the deep-sea picture ought to be fea? ture enough all by itself for any pro gro?.?. These who have not seen Mr. Williamson's previous pictures taken on the ocean bed will perhaps be in? clined to doubt the authenticity of the locale. But a few seasons back, when we saw for the first time the wonders of the sea revealed through the ap? paratus contrived by Mr. Williamson for this purpose, we had a talk with the inventor, himself, and after hear? ing all .-?bout it from th? man who has worked at both ends of the camera, there is little room left for doubt. The new picture shows Mr. William? son, "The Skipper," starting off for the Bahamas, ana then it skips over the next three days and lands you on the palm-shaded, coral-reefed island which looks so much like Bermuda. Here you are introduced to an artist and his lovely model, and she volunteers to pose on the bottom of the ocean as a mermaid in the submarine groves and dells. The picture shows the vouitSg woman diving. Then it shows her twisting and twining herself about the palms and ferns on the ocean bed. Again and again she dives until the painting is finished. The Skipper, him? self, goes down, wearing a diving suit, and ne unearths, or "unwaters," we should say, a shark, an octopus, and a sea serpent. The picture is fascin? ating and could easily run ?for five reels without boring any one. However, it does not run for much more than two reels, but other instalments are promised. Tho overture is "Light Cavalry" and there is another bit of Riesenfeld's Classical Jazz. "The Prisoner of Zonda" is the fea? ture at the Capitol Theater this week and while we do advise you to go early it is doubtful if you will be able to avoid the rush: The picture is being shown exactly as it was at the Astor, only without an intermission, and S. L. Rothafel has presented it with his usual finesse. A new musical score has been composed by William Axt and there is an elaborate prologue in which Evelyn Herbert is seen as Princess Flavia, and Justin Lawrie, as Rudolph. The overture is "If I Were King." ? Two Big Film Factors Join Group Under Hays D. W. Griffith, Inc., and First National Pictures, Inc., Enter Organization's Ranks The following announcement was made last night at the office of Will H. Hays, 522 Fifth Avenue: "Two well known and important fac? tors in the motion picture industry became members yesterday of the Mo? tion Picture Producers and Distributors of America, Inc., the organization of which Will H. Hays Is president. "One was D. W. Griffith, Inc., and the other was Associated First National Pictures, Inc. Mr. Griffith, of course, is one of the best known of producers, and the artistry of his work is known throughout the world. 'First National,' as the other organization is popularly known, is an association which dis? tributes pictures on a large scale. "Those previously in the Hays or fanimation were Famous Players-Lasky, ox, Goldwyn, Universal, Metro, Selz nick, Joseph Schenck, Educational, Vitagraph, Kenma and Warner Bros." a "Partners Again" to Remain on Broadway Till December New York does not seem to want to let go of Barney Bernard and Alexan? der Carr in "Partners Again," and the Selwyns have had to shift their plans. IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIUIIIIUUUIIIUIIIIIIIIIIIIIII Eat and Drink What You Will Today But: Tomorrow?Eat a Jar of Dr. aSpieker's Bulgarian URT The delightful lactic acid content of Dr. Spieker's Yoghurt acts as soothing balm to a rebellious stomach. > Eat the entire contents of a ;'sr as you would a cup of custard. Flavor with sugar, cinnamon or fruit juice, if you ?ike. DR. SPIEKER'S YOGHURT is not a drug, not a chemical compound. It is pure, fresh, rich, whole milk cultured with a live potent culture of the bacillus Bulgaricus and provides the best known method for satis? factory intestinal disinfection or correcting the results of excessive eating or drinking. Tender stomachs that protest at the sight of food will accept and retain Dr. Spieker's Yoghurt. A jar a day, taken at meal time or between meals, will keep the intestinal tract in clean, wholesome condition without the use of drugs. It stimulates appetite, aids regular elimination and is an almost sure specific for auto-intoxication. Dr. Spieker's Bulgarian Yoghurt is made in New York with fresh cultures o? the bacillus Bulgaricus sent direct from Bulgaria every week. These cul? tures are grown in their native environment and constitute the only service of its kind in this country. You can get the only genuine bacillus Bulgaricus Culture in Dr. Spieker's Bulgarian Yoghurt. Sold in many restaurants and by the 2300 wagons and 215 stores of the SHEFFIELD FARMS CO. New York lUlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllililllllJIIIIIIIIIl A few days ago the producers an? nounced that the production would go from the Selwyn Theater to the new Selwyn Theater In Chicago on Novem? ber 11 because of the forthcoming pres? entation of Ben-Ami In "Johanne Kreisler," necessitating the rebuilding of the Selwyn Theater's stage. Busi? ness went to capacity following this announcement, and because of this and the need for time in preparing the new production, "Johannes Kreisler" has been postponed until some time In December and "Partners Again" will be kept at the Selwyn Theater here un? til then.

Wendling Quartet Shows Sound Merit In New York Debut Manly, Unaffected Playing of Foreigners Triumphs Over Reger Compositions at Town Hall Concert By h7e Krehbie! Inasmuch os It hns been the manifest purpose of musical Europe to live of? the United States for n long time to come, we must bo prepared to welcome visitors from every European country. Thus far the greatest invasion has come from Russian .luden, and it has. not reached its height. The genuino Slavic element is not largely repre? sented yet. We note only such entirely welcome representatives as Mr. Rach? maninoff, Mr. Sildti and the Ukrainian National Choir; but more will come as th? feeding grounds of Germany, France and England are exhausted. Germany will be heard from when the Metropolitan Opera House opens its doors. Meanwhile, since the opening of the season, scarcely a fortnight ago, our hospitality has been asked only by a little band of men singers from Baden that is not likely to trouble the waters greatly, and the Wendung String Quartet, which, after it had been hand? somely introduced by the Berkshire Chamber Music Festival in the last week of September, appeared in Town Hall last night to receive New York's verdict. Bohemians Sail To Re Dun There have been rurhors for a year of the : possible advent of the Rose Quartet, of Vienna, and the Lehn?r Quartet, which, though composed of Bohemians, has been supported in Florence by a gentleman who owns Brooklyn as his original' home. Per? haps neither it nor the Rose Quartet ought to be counted in *the German contingent; and, , at any rate, they seem to be hesitant, an attitude which | is easily explained. Chamber music is at, aristocratic form of art, and the field which has been sufficiently cultivated for its reception^ is not large, despito the wide and excellent pioneering of the Kneisels and Klonza? leys. The size of the audience in Town Hall last night cannot have been cheer? ing to the visitors, though its charac? ter was. So wus the measure of ap? preciation given to Mr. Wendling and his associates. The listeners were at? tentive and generous of applause. Their knowledge of what constitutes good music and good playing was in evidence all evening^ It was plaih that they recognized the organization was one of sound merit in most of the ele? ments which enter into a good en? semble. Obviously, they enjoyed the unaffected, manly sincerity of the per? formers. Quite obviously, also, they recognized their deficiencies. A quartet by Reger in E flat, Opus. 109, was heard with that courteous interest which the cognoscenti always exhibit toward un? familiar works, and the performer? were amply rewarded with applause. Moro than amply, we feel, if there was in the applause any large tribute to the composition. Reger's Novelty an Ordeal. Reger is an important enough figure in music to challenge a hearing for whatever novelty he may offer. Listen? ing to this work, however, was a duty which brought with it little compen? satory pleasure. Its workmanship oc? cupied the mind, but there was nothing in its contents, to delight the ear or touch the emotions. The intellectual reward was negligible. 'Its first movement seemed a series of starts and interruptions. A serene and promising beginning had scarcely been made' before the composer merci? lessly put down his heel and? evoked uncouth shrieks from the instruments. And so it went on to the end. The middle movement was too labored In its effort to be jocose in a new manner, to be jocose at all. A long-breathed canticle opened the lust movement, which ran out into a fugue (whose subject contained a motif which sounded strangely familiar) and the fttgal theme in augmentation was then put on the rack of dissonant har? monies, .frequently excruciating to the ear. To what aesthetic end we do not know. We could only recognize the structure and the recognition brought no reword. Modulating through a Haydn quar? tet, nobly played in part, but lacking in lightness and grace, Brahms'? piano? forte quintet in F minor was reached. In this the string players had the help! of Mr. Heinrich Gebhardt, of Boston, an admirable musician, whose obvious desire to keep his instrument within the limits of ensemble music led him to what seemed an excess of repres? sion. Perhaps he expected greater con? tinuance from his associates. ? ii rVcw Bill at the Columbia Old Fashioned but Funny Rather old-fashioned but amusing mateiirfl Is presented in "Talk of the Town," the burlesque attraction at the Columbia Theater this week, Frank R. Murphy and Charles Fagan are the principal comedians, and their efforts are roughhewn and more than usually obvious, but they are occasionally funny. Several of their bits which seemed to amuse the audience, never? theless, are in rather poor taste. Tho company supporting the come? dians is strong, presenting a tall tenor of pleasing voice in Paul H. West; Franz-Marie Texas, a personable prima donna, and Patsy Gilson and Nettie Knise, among others, whose work seemed most effective. a . . The Stage Door Grace ?o.'orge In "To Love," with Nor? man Trevor and Robert Warwick, opens to-night at the Bijou Theater. The cur? tain is to rise at 8:30. The Reiwyns will present Channinr Pol? lock's "The Fool" at the Time? square Theater next Monday night. The cast Includes James Klrkwood, Pamela Oay thorne, Roy Gordon, Henry Stephenson, Frederick vogedlng. Sara Southern, Adri? anas Morrison, Robert Cummin??, Maude Truax, Rollo Lloyd, Wonda Lawrence, Geoffrey Stein, Arthur Elliott and twenty five others. The opening of "The Last Warning" at the Klaw Theater, scheduled for next Mon? day night, has been postponed until Tues? day evening, October 24. Emily Stevens has completed arrange? ments to appear In "The Sporting Thing To Do," by Thompson Buchanan, which Oliver Moroso will produce here. Tho play was tried out in l.on Angeles with Enid Bennett, the motion picture actress, In the part which Miss Stevens will play here. The play will open early In De? cember.
