The biggest kind of a hit has been
achieved In vaud >vllle by those two
clever muslcnl comedy stars, Sam Chip
and Mary Marble, who will be seen in
the Temple theater as a feature of the
program next week. This Is what the
well-known dramatic critic, Adolph
Klauber of the New York Times, wrote
In his review of the skit when It was
shown for the first time recently at
Farcy G. Williams' Colonial theater In
New York.
"Once upon a time there was a little
Dutch girl who lived In a little Dutch
house, with a little Dutch boy and an
old Dutch uncle, and a cuckoo clock.
The little Dutch girl’s father had died
and left her, as a legacy, an Edam
cheese And as the little Dutch girl
owed the old Dutch uncle a lot of
money, he threatened to turn her out
of the house. So while she was won
dering where the mone> would come
from, she and the little Dutch boy
spent all their time singing songs and
telling stories and springing Jokes
while the clock looked on and said
’cuckoo’ If anybody told a lie. When
the wicked Dutch uncle was around. It
cuckooed Incessantly. By and by, the
lltle girl got very hungry, and as there
was no ‘leminu pie in the house, r.hc
decided she would have to cut the Edam
cheese It hurt her to do so, as it had
been In the family for a hundred years,
and was very strong. Rut, at the first
knifethrust. a thousand or more golden
florins fell out. And she was able to
dress herself in silks and eat ‘lemlng
pie* for the res, ~f her life. Also she
married the little Dutch boy and no
more was heard of the wicked old
Dutch uncle.
"This is the story of what Anna
Mnrbie Pollock (who wrote the sketch)
describes as ’Delft Dialogues with Dit
ties.’ and In which a sunshiny little
comedienne Mary Marble, made the
biggest kind of a hit at the Colonial
theater. With a continuous line of
bright talk and amusing songs, and
the vivacious Miss Marble ami Pam
Chip busy every minute, the little piece
provided about 20 minutes of very live
ly entertainment.”
There will be mnnv other enjoyable
acts on the bill, including several that
have never been seen here. Among
them might be mentioned Harlan
Knight & Cos.. In tjie new comedy. "The
Chalk I.lno;” the Mlllman trio, aerial
dancers; the Fnrrell-Taylor trio. tn
The Minstrel Man;" the Empire Com
edy Four, in songs and comedy; James
II Cullen, "the mnn from the west;”
Hlbbert A- Warren, the piano player
and the funny dancer; Paul IWrolx.
the funny Juggler, and the Mooreo
scopc pictures.

Detroit Is not the only city In the
country that waited long for an oppor
tunity to enjoy David Warfield In "The
Music Master. Even his native city,
San Francisco, .was unable to applaud
her native son in this comedy drama
by Charles Klein until last summer,
liiit It Is needless to say that Ills recep
tion was all the more gratifying for
the delay. A chs i aeterlstlc story Is
told In connection with Warfield’s visit
to Pan Francisco.
Tin- distlguished player had not act
ed In bis home town since the early
days of "The Auctioneer.” when David
Relasco first introduced him as a stai.
When he left San Francisco 18 years
ago he hnd Just enough money to take
him to New York The home-coming
was different. A few days before be
arrived In the city hundreds of persons
waited In line all night to buy tickets
at the box office.
In the brilliant first night audience
that gathered to greet the native son,
as well as pay tribute to the actor,
there was at least one enthusiastic pa
tron of the prize ring. He represents
h distinct type common to Pan Fran
cisco. He might hesitate In naming

or the dramatic writers of the Eliza
hethean period, hut he could readily

give you the chronological records of
every fighter from Sullivan to Papke,
with Interesttng data of their lives and
present vocations. , _ ...
When Warfield passed through the
stage door a prir.< It K l»t enlhusiuat
was there to greet him. He had known
the actor a* a boy, and did not hesi
tate for a complimentary speech. More
over. what he said was no doubt as
heartfelt as it was spontaneous:
"Heavens, Dave, 1 wish 1 hud your
reputation.** . _ ~
The Avenue theater, where David
Warfield will appear In The Music
Master” for a week commencing Juno
H. bus been handsomely redecorated
for the occasion, and all preparations
have' been made for the large and bril
liant audiences that will doubtless be
In attendance.
Tbe scale of prices will range- from

The warm wea'her makes hut little
difference In the attendance In the
Lafayette theater. The claim of the
management that U Is the coolest place
of amusement In town is well substan
tiated, and additional comfort Is found
by the patrons in the large and roomy
scats with plenty of elbow room and
space between rows, an advantage that
Is appreciated In hoi weather. The vau
deville attractions for the week com
mencing with the Sunday matinee,
June 6. are particularly strong. Among
them will bo found CH'trott’s old fa
vorites. the comedy boomers, John and
Alice McDowell, in their new sketch, a
big laughing hit; Phllltps and Newell,
In a new and up-to-date singing and
dancing act, a novelty In the acio
hntlc line and several other vaudeville
headlines equally meritorious. In ad
dition to the big vaudeville program
there will be displayed for the lirst
time in Detroit a aeries of new moving
pictures, both sensational and comic,
making an excellent two hours’ bill,
which will bo changed on Thursday.
