Burlesquere to
Honor Fanny and
Kitty Watson
Next Thursday evening the New
Brighton Theater will be the scene of a
rather odd gathering numbering just
ninety-eight persons. The ninety
eight are part of an unofficial club of
one hundred burlesquers known as the
Well Wishers.
When any of the number achieves
distinction in the world of tho theater
;ne occasion is marked by a mass
demonstration. In the present in?
stance the Well Wishers will bid
homage to Fanny and Kitty Watson,
who will be a foulure of the forthcom?
ing program at the New Brighton.
The Watson sisters long since gradu?
ated from the ranks of burlesque, but
they point with pride to the fact that
they owe all their success, financial
and otherwise, including a fine home on
Amherst Boulevard, Buffalo, to that
sometimes shunned branch of the
stage.
The Watsons come of a theatrical
family, their mother being Frankie
Ames, of the old Wilbur Opera Com?
pany. It was she, incidentally, who
encouragi'd her daughters in selecting
a stage career.
They made their d?but at Ontario
Park, near Buffalo, during a vacation
from school, and received $45 a week,
double, for their services.
George "Honey Boy" Evans wit?
nessed their performance and was re?
sponsible for their advent in burlesque.
Fred Irwin needed a sister team, Evans
told them, and he thought they were
just right for the parts. Would they
accept? They would and did, at $G0
for the two.
The Watson? stayed with Irwin for
three seasons, leaving him for an en?
gagement with Weber and Rush's
"Dainty Duchess" show. Finally Max
Spiegel lifted them to stardom with
the "Watson Sisters' Own Show." After
two seasons at the head of their com?
pany, vaudeville beckoned, and then
the Winter Garden. They recently
completed two seasons as featured
members of the "Monte Cristo, Jr."
production, which emanated from the
Fiftieth Street music ?hall.
Fanny Watson tells of a choras girl
acquaintance in the show who begged
of her not "to breathe a word" of the
fact that the latter had once been in
burlesque. j
"And to think," says Miss Watson,
"that burlesque gave unto Broadway
Weber and Fields, David Warfield,
Grace La Rue, Dorothy Jardon, Louis
Mann, Fanny Brice and Jim Barton."
a
Concerning Miller and
Lyles, Fun-Makers of
Popular 'Shuffle Along'
Miller and Lyles, who wrote the boo-k
and are the featured comedians of
"Shuffle Along," the all-colored musi?
cal m?lange now in its tenth week at
the Sixty-third Street Music Hall, are
a team who have succeeded in reaching
Broadway after a struggle of seventeen
years. Born and raised in Tennessee,
both wore students of the Fiske Insti?
tute, a notable colored school in that
section of the country.
It was at this school that they made
their d?but, playing in amateur the?
atricals given by that institution. After
thfeir graduation they appeared in small
time vaudeville theaters in the South.
After a few seasons of this they put
on musical stock in Memphis, and it
proved so successful that they con?
tinued playing them four seasons.
But then the call of the North and
its opportunities came to them and
they had their manager arrange a route
that took them as far as New York.
They played many times for Oscar
Hammerstein at the old Victoria The
.ater. After their vaudeville engage?
ments they organized a traveling mu?
sical comedy company and toured this
country and Canada. They disbanded
the company and returned to New York,
where a route was laid out for them,
calling for their services in the lead?
ing Keith houses of the country.
A London manager heard of them
and arranged for their appearance in
Europe. They appeared at the leading
music halls in England, Ireland, Scot?
land and France. On their return from
Europe they continued their vaudeville
dates. Last January they canceled a
contract calling for a full season's
work on the U. B. 0. circuit and began
casting for "Shuffle Along."
Do We Love Best Those
Who Make Us Cry? Jane
Grey Thinks That We Do
Perhaps you won't agree with Jane
Grey, the leading woman in William
A. Brady's "The Teaser," at The Play?
house, that we love best those who
make us cry, but Miss Grey is quite
ready to prove it to you.
She is a very convincing talker, her
enthusiasm is contagious, so when she
cites the case of the mother who
loves her unfortunate child the best;
when she says that the tragedienne
has a stronger hold on public affec?
tions than the comedienne, perhaps we
can only capitulate.
Yet those who have seen Jane Grey's
charming performance of Teddy in
"The Teaser" will question her theory.
Miss Grey is a versatile actress. She ;
has intelligence, which makes her a
valuable leading woman. Furthermore,
she has gentility, and breeding has a
surprising way of getting over the
footlights. Site was last seen here in
"The Skin Game," but in a different
r?le from that of the capricious
Teddy in "The Teaser."
The foster-mother of her "only
brother's only child" is an irresistible
nerBon, whose struggle to make Ann
tread the path of convention pro?
voke amusing complications.
A real honest-to-goodness laugh
cannot, be overestimated. Therefore
the chances are that Jane Grey will
be longer remembered as Teddy in
"The Teaser" than as Chloe, the un?
fortunate victim of folly and circum?
stances, In Galsworthy's drama.

Authors Now Have
Their Day in Field
Of Motion Pictures
"Now is the author's moment in the
motion picture field," says Elinor Glyn,
the British novelist, whose first photo?
play, "The Great Moment," with Gloria
Swanson as the star, begins its second
v/eek at the Rivoli Theater to-day.
"The mechanical side has almost
reached perfection, but it has failed of
! full appreciation because the stories
? have so often been inadequate, so want
: ing in knowledge of life or the laws of
?psychology. The characters were made
to act in a way they would not have
acted, and no sequence or logical fol?
lowing seemed to have been thought
i necessary in their construction of
! plots. The result was that the movies
i were not at all interesting to critical
i spectators.
j "But each month better stories show
? in the pictures released, and very soon
I the public will be able to look forward
! to having their intelligence pleased as
| well as their eyes diverted."
"The Great Moment," which Elinor
Glyn wrote for Miss Swanson as her
I first Paramount starring picture, came
I into being through the author's inter
j est in Miss Swanson's screen portray?
als, which had been phown in England.
? The novelist expressed a wish to Jesse
: L. Lasky to write a photoplay especial
! lj for Miss Swanso-.i, and an invita?
tion to travel to Hollywood. Calif., to
study motion picture technique and to
meet the new star was extended. So
interested did Mrs. Glyn become in mo?
tion picture creation that she not only
wrote the screen story but supervised
every scene, collaborating with Mor,le
Katterjolm, the scenarist, and Sam
j Wood, the director. Net content with
! these many activities, Mrs. Glyn also
j gave herself a small part in one of the
s-cenes, appearing in glorious dress at
i a society event.
Miss Swanson's r?le is a study in
complex personality, the daughter of
an English peer. The girl's mother was
a gypsy woman who had fascinated the
old aristocrat at a gypsy festival. Sur?
rounded by all the conventions of re?
fined society and sheltered Irom every
influence which might arouse the , ypsy
blood in her, she nevertheless finally ?
breaks through all social restrictions, I
demanding that she live lier own life j
I to its fullest expression.
"I believe that romance truly por- |
trayed will hold the world interest to j
the end of time," said Elinor Glyn in :
discussing her picture. "Whatever
other type of story has its day, those j
treating of love in an adventurous
spirit! which, in the rendering, is yet
true to life, must stir Hie pulses of
himan beings in all countries. Such
a story I have put into my first photo?
play, 'The Great Moment.'
"1 think Gloria Swanson is the most
vivid personality on the screen to-day.
She will excel inLthe future in tragedy, !
in deep emotion where there is no oc- j
casion for violent action. As I watch ?
her playing my character of Nadine I
feel that she is an old soul struggling ,
to remember its former lives."
Stage Stars for Fox Films
Adelaide Prince, formerly of the
Breaking stage, who was starred in ?
"The Power Behind the Throne," has i
been engaged by William Fox to play <
in tho special production J. Searle j
Dawley has under way at the Fox New j
York studio. Another important en- i
gagement for this picture is that of.]
Marie Alexander, who played the j
mother with Louis Mann and Sam Ber- ?
nard in "Friendly Enemies" and an j
important r?le with David Warfield in j
"The Return of Peter Grim." Others ?
in this new Fox production are Bryon |
Russell, an English actor, and Caroline I

Sub-title: "That first marriage of

The wor?l<? "that first marriage of oura
didn't take" are objected to.
According to the producer, there was
nothing suggestive in any of the situ?
ations around which tho foregoing
sub-title were written.
From "Snowblind," a recent photo?
play by Katherine Ncwlin Burt the
Pennsylvania censors eliminated all
views showing affection between the
two leading juvenilo characters, de?
spite the fact that the picture stressed
the wholesomeness of their romance
and there was no touch of the sordid
in their relationship.
The movement fostered by the West?
ern representatives of the Immanuel
Presbyterian Brotherhood is for the.
purpose of bringing motion picture
ptoducers anil church members into
c'oser cooperation.
Mr. Middaugh, who has launched the
movement, has no interest in motion
; pictures other than that he is an ar?
dent fan. He is described as a busi
I ness man interested in social service
! and church work. He saw long service
? as a volunteer worker in a boys' set
I tlement house in Chicago.
Oriental Actors Make
Realistic Scenes in
'Where Lights Are Low'
Sessue Hayakawa's latest R-C Pic
! tures production, "Where Lights Are
Low," is enacted almost entirely by a
? cast of Oriental actors.
It is being exhibited at the Capitol
! Theater for a week, beginning to-day.
The cast is one of the most unusual
i ever assembled for such a production.
j Mr. Hayakawa made certain that he
i would have absolutely true types?
types that would give the production
the proper Oriental atmosphere.
Such Japanese actors as Goro Kino,
Togo Yamanoto, Kiyoshi Satow, Misao
Seki, Toyo Fujiti and others were as?
signed to the cha.acters whose activi?
ties go to make the realistic Chinatown
scenes.
The r?le of Quan Yin, however, is
portrayed by Gloria Payton, an Ameri
i can actress of high skill. Miss Payton
j has appeared in many important photo
I plays, but her r?le in "Where Lights
I Are Low" was by all odds the most ex
! citing, and shows her to be an actress
i of marked versatility and charm.
Of all the Oriental actors in the pro
j duction, Goro Kino is perhaps b?;-st
j known for his work on the screen. He
? is called the "heaviest of heavies,"
which means the vilest of villians. Off
1 the screen, however, Goro is one of the
most popular men in the film colony,
for when he isn't flickering in the shad?
ows he is one of the quietest of men.
Like Miso Seid, his fellow actor, also
in this cast, Goro Kino is a member of
the Royal Stcck'Company, and for more
than ten years .vas the matinee idol of
the Orient. On coming to America he
was appointed general director and pro?
ducer of the Kakashindan Stock Com?
pany. The most notable photoplay suc?
cesses in which he has appeared ate
"The First Born," "Breath of the Gods,"
"The Purple Sapphire'' and "Debts."
"Shame," an Alaskan
Melodrama in Film,
Seen at the Lyric
At the Lyric Theater to-day the new
Fox feature photoplay "Shame" begins
a limited run. The story is by Emmett
J. Flyr.n and Bernard McConville and
the picture has been staged and direct?
ed by Emmett J. Flynn.
The scene of the story is laid in
Alaska. An advance outline of the
story is withheld by Mr. Fox. But
Webster's dictionary defines "shame"
as "a painful feeling of degradation,
excited by consciousness of guilt or of
anything degrading, unworthy or im?
modest." In other words, one can
easily surmise that a hero wrongfully
accused might seek to escape civiliza?
tion by fleeing to tho wilds of Alaska,
where, of course, true love would
eventually overtake him.
Tho cast of "Shame" includes John
Gilbert in a dual role, Rosemary Theby
Doris Pawn, George Siegmann, William j
V. Mong, Little Mickey Moore nnd,
many others. A special musical set-1
ting has been arranged by Erno Rapee. j
Presentations of "Shame" will be;
given twice daily at the Lyric Tnoater,
at 2:30 and 8:30 p. m. The engagement
is limited to two weeks, owing to the
fact that the lease of the Lyric The?
ater held by Mr. Fox expires on Au?
gust 13.
Sketehografs on the Way
Educational will release early in Au- j
gust the first of a series of one-reel i
novelties called Sketehografs. Each j
will tell a story in sketches, the motion :
pictures showing the actual drawing of '
tho pictures. Julian Ollendorff, tho \
producer and artist, manipulates a mo-1
tion picture camera with his left hand j
while he draws the sketches with his
right. "Play Ball!" is the first Sketch
ograf of the series. "Eve's Leaves"
will be released soon. In this picture
Mr. Ollendorff presents the various de?
velopments in women's styles, begin- j
ning with the well known costume re
ported to have been worn in Eden.
Mr. Rawlinson to Star
While Herbert Rawlinson is in Brit- j
ish Columbia woods supporting Pris- j
cilia Dean in "Conflict," his own story
is being prepared for him at Universal j
City. The production, in which Raw- !
linson will begin a starring contract,
is "The Black Bag," a mystery story
