BUT STAYS TO STARE
Mss Foster. "Cinderella Man's" Fairy
nimother, Recalls Gotham Reporter.
By THE PLAYGOER.
"You know, I am really frightened to
death whenever anyone suggests an In
terview." said Miss Phoebe Foster, who
plays the role of the Pairy Godmother In
"The Cinderella Man" at the Belasco this
week, as she perched upon a large divan
amid a flock of cushions in the parlor at
the Shoreham last night. "It always
brings back. with such vivid distinctness.
the first one I suffered."
"It was terribie. He came back into
my dressing room at the Hudson Theater
In New York. and after draping himself
about a chair and adjusting his tortoise
rim spectaclei. ,aid: 'Now. Miss Foster,
talk.' And he stared at me for about
ten minutes "I thout either of us saying
a word. I was too frightened. Finally
he became disgusted and left."
The terrible critic could hardly be
blamed for staring at Mlls Foster. She
Is really very easy to stare at, but I did
my best while she told me a few tips
about her company and of her impres
sions of Washington.
"After reach:ng town today I decided to
se some of the famed sights of the Cap
Ital, as on my ast visit here I was so
busy rehearsing that I did not even get a !
look at the White House. In front of the
hotel an old colored man driving a landau
approached me and asked If I would like
to go to Arlington.
"Now. I'll leave it to you, doesn't that
name sound perfectly beautiful? Of
course. I went to Arlington. and not un
til I arrived at the very gates did the
nature of the pLitc 'lawn upon me.
"But I went on through the grounds and
had a dandy time, for I love to be out
doors, and it seems that the wide spaces
around Washington make the air purer
than in other cities.
'My part?' Oh. I love it more and
more every time I play It and we have
been playing 'The Cinderella Man' nearly

"Blutch" Cooper's Company Scores
Hit at Popular Theater.
James E. Cooper's production. "The
Sightseers," was presented at the Gay
ety last night, featuring a very worthy
pair of comedians. Will J. Kennedy and
Jack Millar, in a fantastic tandangle
whose fundamental purpose is fun. With
their every appearance the crowded
house burst with laughter and applause.
They appear in every scene and their
stunts will drive away the worst case of
blues.
"The Sightseers" have in Miss Kather
ine Dickey a leading lady that they can
well be proud of for the way In which
she leads them through many a catchy
song during the evening. Flo Davis, a
clever soubrette, proved to be a hit with
her voice and graceful dancing.
The one who kept the audience the
busiest keeping track of him .1, through
the show was Harry Kelly, taking nine
different parts, not all at once. how
ever, but in every role he carried he dis
tinguished himself. He first hppeared in
'a straight," then as a bartender in a
Bowery cafe, bell boy, an Englishman, a
hunter, and the one he most distinguish
ed himself in, the dope field, In the coun
try cluh scene.
I Miss Kittle Forsythe brought forth
heartv applause from the audience with
tier nctive dancing 'and beautiful voice.
She with Mr. Van Horn gave the audi
:noe a good number in their "Flirtation"
song. Miss Blackford's act with the
comedians in a Salvation Army satire
was well received.
The company carries with them a good
:uartet known as the "Carnival Four."
They put on a specialty act and several
solos. The entire company of Sightseers
are very clever in their dances, and the
voices are especially good. The costumes
if this company are clean and nifty, and
the chorus the prettiest seen at the Gay
+ tthis season.
'RETURN OF EVE' DRAWS
CROWDS AT CASINO
Edn, Mlayo has the title role in the
"Return of Eve. ' the latest of the Essa
nay productions, shown yesterday at
the Casino. This allegorical play is
uniquely conceived and all the views are
peculiarly suitable to the theme. An ec
centric and %ery rich old man has the
bief that overcivilization is destroying
h- ratce. and in the carrying out of his
*heoro adopts two orphans who are un
.lated and sends them to live on his
beautiful estate among the things of na
1Ire. jit as the first man and woman
did. with a kindly old philosopher and
naturalist as their only companion.
They are styled Adam and Eve, and
the film story richly unfolds in exquisite
pictures their life in their primitive home.
until the coming of man. at the death of
their benefactor, suddenly throws them
Into the whirl of brilliant social life, as
bIy his will they are his only heirs and
1ae entrusted to a rich sister, who is to
brIng them up in her manner of living.
They are a young man and woman in the
full enjoyment of life until the intrusion
of others begins their troubles, and, after
a brief period exposed to the taint of
Ivilization. they return disgusted to their
Eden. Eugene O'Brien is the hero of the
story and does well many difficult parts
with Miss Mayo.
