AMFTON SHOFC H At the Sign of the Triangle "Raymond Hitchcock, Douglas Fairbanks, Dustin Farnum, Mabel Normand, Mack Sennett, Fred Mace, all in one bill" ilm , , n 1 A ' - Al i.O H 1 ..J wnai son oi a coniumawuii i uian aisivcu 4a man who read the Triangle announcement last week. "Just look at this," he continued. " 'Frank Keenan, Eddie Foy, Lillian Gish, Rozsika Dolly, Wilfred Lucas in another bill; Billie Burke, Bruce MacRae, Helen Ware, Tully Marshall, Joe Weber, Lew Fields in a third entertainment,' and so on. What are they trying to do? Mix up the tragedians and the comedians, the buffoons and the farceurs, the light sentimental and the historical-pastoral, the twinkletoes of musical comedy and tbe reverie of the thinker?" No, the TRIANGLE FILM CORPORATION for the opening of its new policy at the Knicker bocker Theatre, New York, beginning Thursday evening, September 23rd, is not trying to jumble the talents of its many stars nor the diverse plays which it.will present. Let us illustrate what is being done by a glance at stage history: In the golden days when Kemble and Kean, Macready and Mathews illumined the stage, pa trons repaired to Covent Garden or Drury Lane early in the evening. The bill was introduced by a curtain raiser. There followed at about 8.30 P. M. the piece de resistance of the evening an elabo rate drama, some masterpiece of Shakespeare or Sheridan or Knowles. Then a merry farce or a light afterpiece closed the varied entertainment of the evening. Nobody thought the bill too long, because every one was privileged to see as much or as little of it as he wanted to. The fops in their sedan chairs came from White's or Al mack's to while away a couple of hours looking at Edmund Kean as Shylock or the Moor. Milady left the dance or the drawing room to appear at 11 o'clock and laugh at the farce. Diverse forms of art do not interfere with each other when shown separately and not rudely commingled in any one play. The experienced theatregoer loves them all. In the golden days all were offered to everybodv practically nightly. Among the many misfortunes incidental to the de cline of stage art is this falling away from old ideals. One play, one metier at a single theatre has become the rule. TRIANGLE PLAYS will change all that. In a single evening patrons will be able to see : A matinee favorite like Dustin Farnum in a great love play (this time an Alaskan story entitled "The Iron Strain"). The quaint and satiric comedian Ravmond Hitchcock in an uproarious farce, "My Valet" (like those famous things that Charles Mathews did), supported by Mabel Normand Mack Sennett and Fred Mace. Douglas Fairbanks, most energetic of youthful heroes, in "The Lamb," a wonderful adventure story of the South west and of Mexico. Each of the three entertainments, complete in itself; each in a different key; the three harmonizing with each other, so that gay succeeds grave, and laughter follows tears. And so with the combinations of the later weeks. Roz sika Dolly will dance her way into the hearts of admirers in a Bohemian play the same night that at another hour Frank Keenan will reveal the strong emotionalism of "The Coward," or that Eddie Foy will contribute his innumerable japes to the exploiting of "A Favorite Fool." Still again, Rillie Burke is to shine in Scottish comedy on an evening when Tully Marshall will also be seen in a great crook drama, and later, Weber and Fields in some of their characteristic antics. It will be fine to have the roman ticism of Orrin Johnson in "D'Artagnan" as a foil to the humors of De Wolf Hopper as "Mr. Pickwick" - the tragic mastery of Mae Marsh to set off the clever detective cunninu of John Emerson or the intrigue of Frank Campeau. The stage should mirror life. For the first time in recent stage history it seems to be reverting to its function of por traying life in the large. And it is the motion picture art. the screen art which h achieving this. Griffith, Sennett, and Ince are returning to one of the finest dramatic fashions of the world the fashion of giving us interpretation of not one but many sides of life in a single evening. That fashion prevailed in the English and European playhouses a hundred years ago; on the stage of the Grand Monarque of France two hundred years ago; in the spacious time of great Elizabeth more than three hundred vears &rn AND THERE IS NO REASON WHY IT SHOULD NOT PREVAIL NOW. THE KNICKERBOCKER THEATRE is the place and THURSDAY EVENING, SEPT. 23d, is the time wWn theie new plans of TRIANGLE FILM CORPORATION are to be first realized. TRIANGLE FILM CORPORATION.
