William Elliott. F. Ray Comstock
and Morris Gest have decided to pro-
auce a play tho scenes of which are
iild in Berlin. The p'.ay was sub
mitted by an American author at a
critical time and tho element of coln-
NANCY KEAV
" CHEER UP ".
in
cldence led to Its Immediate accep
tance by tho linn. This Is the reason:
Elliott, Comstock & Gest have a play
called "Chu Chin Chow" at tho Man
hattan Opera House the scenes of
which aro laid In Bagdad. Some
months ago Bagdad was captured by
tho British army. Tho same firm has
on tour one of Its most successful pro
ductions. "Tho Wanderer," the scenes
of which nro laid in Jerusalem. Jeru
salem was aim captured by the Brit
ish army. Now by producing a play
witli tho ixcncs laid In Berlin tho man
agers believe this play will bo a posi
tive aid and inspiration to tho armies
of tho Allies nnd perhaps history will
repeat Itself again for tho third time.
The new play will Im entitled "Tho
Future." It was written by ' a Chi
cago newspaper man whoso namo is
withheld for tlo present, and It deals
with a theoretical meeting In Berlin
of tho rulers of tho successful Allies,
wjio meet thero to discuss what they
will do with the Kaiser after his down
fall. The Kaiser is shown ns a prls
oner of war. Messrs. Elliott. Comstock
and 3est believe tho play will prove, a
sensation. Tho primary reason of Its
acceptance was tho remarkable coinci
dence that tho cities named In their
two moit successful productions, "Chu
Chin Chow" and "The Wanderer,"
have loth been captured by tho Blt
Ish nrmy within the last few weeks,
nnd perhaps Berlin will follow suit.
Tho sixth Sunday night concert at
tho Century Theatre will bo held to
night and promises to bo the most In
teresting of tho series. Elsie Junls
with her new Impressions will head
line the bill, while Harry Watson, Jr.,
who has mado so great a success In

The thoufrhta of youth are lone,
long thoughts," quotes Lou Tellcgen
reflectively, of "Blind Youth," tho play
he haa written for himself with the
collaboration of Wlllard Mack after his
long search for a part adapted to his
peculiar genius.
He has drawn the first scene from
his own struggling sculptor days. The
studio Itself ns It appears on the stage
Is A faithful reproduction of the
poverty stricken nttlo ho lived In be- j
foro ho dreamed of becoming (the
famous stage lover that tho world
knows now. Tho broken plaster, tho
frail, Bhabhy bed only half hid by cal
ico curtains, the crudo cupboard above
the old wooden sink, even tho hideous
head drawn on tho w-all of tho stage
studio by his own hand, are taken ,
from tho real thing of his youth.
"And they ask me." said he "as
they naturally would.' perhaps If the '
vamiilrp worn n. real ffnmnn In mv I
life! No! She stands merely for!
those disillusioning experiences that
come before a man gets down to the
wholesome realities of life. To quote
from the master with whom I worked"
ho spoke of Rodin, whose death only
tho other day plunged tho entire art
world In grief " 'the experiences that
throw the soul back upon Itself, suf
fering disgust of life." He knew all
artNis know, tho times ot disillusion
ment. It is a stage of growth!"
He spoke with tho authority of tho
artist that Just a little different twist
of circum8tnijco might havo made him.
In fact ho Is more than a dllletante
still. He still maintains a studio In
Paris though not tho one of tho first
act of "Blind Youth"; and no longer
ago than '1910 ho gave a successful
exhibition of his art in St Louts.
"Tho Broadway Anthology"' will bo
published this week by Duflleld &
Co. In this book of vignettes In
verse, those creators of public opinion,
tho press agents of music and drama,
Ironically contemplate their own
craft, and with running commentary
on their famous victims reveal with
merciless pencil, what they have been
hired to conceal. The contributors to
tho volume are Edward L. Bernays,
Samuel Hoffcnsteln, Walter J. Kings
ley and Murdock Pcmberton. All of
them arc press agents.
"The day of the Simon Lcgrce pro
ducer Is over," said Leon Errol be
tween rehearsals of "Words and Mu
sic." ut the Fult4n Theatre last week.
"A stage director cannot swear nt
chorus girls to-day and get away with
It," he went on. "Chorus girls to-day
won't stand for It. A producer has to
handle the humblest member of 'hid
company with tact nnd courtesy.
"Time was when a producer talked
to his chorus girls like a stableman.
He ordered them around liko animals.
cursed them when they didn't do the
right thing nnd often handled them
roughly. To-day a chorus girl would
put nn her hat and coat and leave tho
stage if a producer swore at her.
"And why? Because tho girls who
gn on the stage to-day are more re
fined bottcr class, so to speak than
the chorus girls of a decade or two
back. For one thing they are paid two
nnd even threo times as much as the
members of the 'merry merry' ten
years ago. There's not a single chorus
Slrl in "Words and Music" who gets
less than 135 u week. Some get $50
::nd even $60. Naturally for such sal
aries we get girls of some refinement.
"Of course there aro producers who
still act, like tyrants, but personally I
bellevo tile best results aro obtained by
kiumng" the performers into doing tne
right tiling," Errol eont'tiued. "When
1 begin to lose my tcrflper I call a halt
and say, "Cilrls, let's rest a minute." and
I sit down In the back of the theatre
and keep nulet until I regain my com
posure. If a girl Is unable to learn a
step I don't shout at her and even
cur.-e her under my breath. I tako
her aside and work with her alono un
til she learns It or until I'm convinced
that she's hopeless. In the latter caso
I tell her I'm wasting her time and
utgo her to Join the Follies or a Shu
bert show.
"I never ask a girl to do a step I
can't do myself or to do anything I
can't show her exactly how It should
be done. That's why I've had more or
less good luck with tho shows I've
staged."
Everybody who knows Willie Baxter
and has vhuckled at his first love af
fair, who dellghta !n the tender under
standing of his mother and the un
cannv frankness of hlg Impish sister.
Jane, will be glad to know that these
and mrny other of tho characters in
Booth Tarklngton'a "Seventeen" stories
wilt nuke their appearance ,!n New
York early In tho new year.
The stage version of "Seventeen" Is
a four act comedy revolving around
the historic Incident of Willie's pur
loining futhcr Baxter's dress milt In
order to dazzle the charmer, Lola
Vratt. The play was first produced by
Stuart Walker during his stock sea
son In Indianapolis last summer, and
proved so-immediately popular that It
broke all local theatrical records. In
the fall Mr. Walker presented It nt
tho Playhouse, Chicago, whero it has
been running for the last threo
months. It is definitely scheduled to
como Into Now York In January. The
Last Newman Talk
Newman in "Our 'West In
dies" at Carnegie Hall this eve
ning and to-morrow afternoon
will show the only moving pic
ture record in existence of the
transfer of jurisdiction of the
Virgin Isles from Denmark to
the United States. Motion pic
tures and color views will bring
before the spectator close range
glimpses of the dally life in the
picturesque little Spanish vil
lages to be found in Porto Rico,
also the vast plantations of to
bacco, sugar cane and coffee,
fields of pineapples and groves of
oranges. Views of placid val
leys and green clad mountain
sides dotted here and there with
quaint thatched huts or covered
with fields of tobacco will be
seen. Our new possesions, the
Virgin Isles, a part of this illus
trated "journey," are intensely
interesting and delightful to
pleasure seekers.

When Sarah Bernhardt and her
mitnmrer. W. C. Connor, were dis
cussing the arrangements for her fare
well performances in vaudeville ai me
Palacs Theatre this coming week, E. F.
Albee, half owner and general man
ager of the Keith Circuit of Theatres,
asked her what role she would like
test to play. 'Mme. Bernhardt Imme
diately replied: "Camlllc."
"Do you wish to open at the Palace
ir. 'Camille?'" asked Mr. Albee.
"Yes, I would like to play It for the
first week, because all tho world seems
to Identify me most with this Dumas
heroine. Perhaps, though, I prefer
'Camille' because the critics have writ
ten so wonderfully of my performance
In it. I like best of all what Arthur
Symons said of me on my last appear
ance in London."
Here the resourceful Connor dug
Into his pocket and produced Symons's'
appreciation, from which ho read ns
follows:
"After all, though Rejano skins emo
tions alive nnd Duse serves them up
to you on" golden dishes, It 13 Sarah
Bernhardt who prepares tho supreme
feast. In 'La Dame aux Camellias'
still she shows herself as an nctress
tho greatest actress In the world. It
Is all sheer acting. There is no sugges
tion, as with Duse: thero la no canaille
attractiveness, as with Rcjanc; the
thing Is plastic, a modeling of emotion
before you, with every vein visible;
ho leaves nothing to the Imagination,
gives you every emotion, all the phys
ical signs of death, all the fierce' aban
donment to even mood, to grief, to de-
llaht. to lassitude When she suffers
In the scene where Armand Insults her,
for Instance, she is like a trapped wild
boast which some one Is torturing ,and
she wakes Just that harrowing pity.
One's whole flesh suffers with her
flesh: her voice caresses and excites
llko u touch; it has a throhblng, mo
notonous music which breaks dell-

Mr. Jack Norworth,
Bijou Theatre, New York
Dear Jack:
I can't resist the
temptation to tell you
how much I enjoyed "Odds
k Ends."
Your bit with the
French girl was a classi:
Miss Lorraine was the
perfection of artistic
loveliness, and Harry
i Watson, Jr., demonstrate
, that he was the best ar i
most legitimate laugh
getter that has been in
New York for years .
With best Wishes
