GERMANSCHECK DRIVE OF CAINE Dramatic Labors of Nov? elist Impaired by Peril of Submarines.* HODGE SHOWS FAVOR TO AN OLD ACTOR Paul Dickey Arranges Private Performance for Mis Play, "The Fall of Louvain." Ity HKVWOOI) BBOUN. The Germsni have checked Hall Cains. A great literary drive is ended for the moment. Joseph Brooks, the producing managet, reCSeVOd a cable ige yesterday irom tue author | that it would o?. necessary to postpone the Brst performance of "l'e'<" until January, as the members of the company svere chary of taking passage on account of the submarine peril. "Pete" i< a dramatization of Mr. ?"nine's novel, "The Manxman." Joseph Brooks had intended to present the play svith an Knglish company headed ,-,>?

Both productions will be [ under the direction of Joseph Brooks and the Sliuuerts. We sasv Charlie Chaplin yesterday for the first time. In seeing him sva. lost a distinction and broke a vow. We ! were against Charlie Chaplin once, but in those dayi s.'e knew no more than to be learned In watching Nick Altrock, of the Washington Senators, imitate his walk. Also, we had heard the ploti of aeveral Chaplin tilms tie scribed by folk nascent from the pict? ure house and still bubbling. This in tensified our prejudice, and we vowed that ulthough all the world was for him he should never come into our life. Now we are normal, and a minority of one has been swept asi?le. Charlie Chaplin is all right. To our mind he has the supreme gift of comedy that shading of aadnesi which lifts all fun making. When Charlie Chaplin kicks over a friend he does it without exu? berance. He is wistful even with a seltzer bottle. We aaked a Chaplin fan once what' he would svish if the gift were given him to satisfy his heart's desire, and he replied: "To see Charlie Chaplin again for the first time." One member of the cast of "The Rosd to Happiness" has been excused from midsummer rehearsals. William Hodge, who will appear in the play Boon at the Shubert Theatre, has IUC i in gaining a vacation for the old gray horse which plays the part of Senator in tin- play. Senator has been with the company two years, und as he was letter perfect in his part it was felt 'hat i.e might be justly excused, i i ? ore going on the stai;.' Senator was connected with the Street Cleaning Department. Frances Demarest is going to quit! musical comedy as soon as she can und study for cram! opera. Her sv.sh will base to wait fulfilment, however, until the ' d of the run of "The Blue Para? dise," in which she has the prima donna's role. Paul Die '' of "The I.a-t ." at the Thirty-ninth Street Theatre, has i ttei a iketch called "The Fall of Louvain." It will eventu I a place in vaudeville. A pri performanee will be given by the members of "The Last Laugh" com-; ;,..ny .-unit- time thi- -.seek. In the ?irania a man must retain his nose for news, else he might overlook lUch a story as this: "Mill Winifred Greenwood will stop at nothing in her effort to get thrill and resli m into her screen characteri? sation. Nothing, did we say? Well. Winifred nsver balked until Director Henry Ott ssked ri*? r to put a wriggly, crawly, llimy angleworm on a fishhook. That WSI too mu.-h.
