jerformance as his guests. Not a seat
rill be sold.
??Nothing But Lies," written by
^aron Hoffman, is a farce in three
;ts, with a rather unusual appen
Lge in the shape of a prologue. Mr.
?oilier is said to give the stellar role
-i4s solidest values by the art by which
he sustains, during the larger part or
the action, the appearance of comic
perplexity that is the last analysis
of sound comedy. G. M. Anderson and
L. Lawrence Weber, the producers,
have sursounded the star with a com
pany^lncluding Olive Wyndham.

Stewart, Rapley Holmes. W. RHe>

! A Dumas Play??"A Marriage of.
Convenience," written by the elder
j Dumas several generations ago, was
one of the delights of the theatrical
year in New York last spring. It is a
costume play of the period of the ex
travagant Louis XV. Twenty-one
i years ago it was played by John Drew
and his associates. It was in the
repertoire of Lewis Waller and Madge
Titheradge on their American tour
several years ago.
The elder Dumas was a fairly pro
lific writer when one recalls that he
is credited with at least 1,200 literary
works. It was after he had written
his series of swashbuckling novels
that he sought fame, in the theater.
Posterity immediately calls to mind
'The Three Musqueteers" and quite
forgets that his "Henry III" scored
the first great success of the roman
tic movement in the French drama
and that "A Marriage of Convenience"
has held the stage since his day and
has the honor of a place in the reper
toire of the Comedie Francaise.
Won Fame in Vandevtlle??Aaron
Hoffman, author of William Collier's
new comedy, which is to have its first
presentation on any stage at the Bel
asco Theater this week, is one of the
authors of "Friendly Enemies." Mr.
Hoffman's name is not unfamiliar to
playgoers, but until recently it was
in the vaudeville field that he found
the greatest outlet for his work. He
began writing vaudeville sketches and
monologues at seventeen years of age,
when he was a student at the Univer
sity of Chicago. Lew Dockstader was
one of his first clients, and it is
worthy of mention that Mr. Hoffman
is now writing a new political mono
logue for that popular blackface
comedian. Cliff Gordon one of vaude
ville's best known figures, was an
other successful exploiter of the prod
uct of Mr. Hoffman's pen. Vaudeville
patrons who recall his political mono
logues, delivered as the German poli
tician, will likewise recall that the
material used was exceptionally tart,
bright and up to date. Other popular
vaudeville headliners for whom Mr.
Hoffman has furnished matter are:
Fred Niblo, James Harrigan, Weber
and Fields, Kolb and Dill, Julian Rose,
the late Joe Welch, Jess Dandy, Nora
Bayes and Henry Lewis. His first
work for the stage in which an entire
company was engaged was for the
late Rogers brothers.
NEXT WEEK'S ATTRACTIONS.
NATIONAL,?Otis Skinner in "Hump
ty Dumpty." a new comedy by Hor
ace Annesley Vachell, which tells the
story of an ambitious English hair
dresser, with great respect for his
calling and great love for his old
mother, who is suddenly discovered to
be of aristocratic birth and the right
ful heir to the Mottisfont peerage. The
cast includes Elizabeth Risdon, Beryl
Mercer, Ruth Rose, Maud Milton. Mor
ton Selton, Fleming Ward, Robert
Harrison and others.
POLI'S?"An Ideal Husband." a
comedy by Oscar Wilde, previous to
its presentation at the Comedy Thea
ter. New York, which, following the
lines of some of the London theaters,
will present this as the first of a
series of plays by a stock company of
leading players of high standing. It
is not unlikely that serious drama of
merit will be similarly presented. It
is a play of English political life and
internaional intrigue.
COSMOS?In addition to a standard
bill of vaudeville. D. W. Griffith's
film masterpiece. "The Great Love," a
romance with the war for a back
ground.
KEITH'S?Next week at B. F.
Keith's Theater the bill will be led by
Stella Mayhew, who is farewelling
Keith vaudeville preparatory to her
going "over there." Another feature
will be Henry Bellit's production of
the musical farcical comedy, "The
Only Girl," with one of the largest
companies ever assembled for a
vaudeville attraction. Others will be
Wyatt's Scotch Lads and Lassies;
Jimmie Lucas, in his screamingly
amusing "Wild Ravings of 1918"; Ed
win George, in "A Comedy of Errors";
Parsons and Irwin, in "A Message
From the Front," and Leo Farrell and
company of hand equilibrists.
GATETY?'The Girls of the U. S.
A.," next week's attraction at thf.
Gayety Theater, is headed by Lew
Hilton and Ina Hayward, two well
known entertainers. Like all of the
Joe Hurtig companies, the organiza
tion is noted for its female comple
ment, which in this case includes a
chorus of twenty members. A lively
musical review in two acts and six
scenes, by Loney Haskell and Lew
Hilton, is the vehicle which will serve
to introduce the varied talents of the
company's personnel.
LYCEUM?Many ingenious and un
usual effects will be noted in the
production of "The Beauty Revue."
the Bernstein musical farce which
comes tQ the Lyceum Theater next
week. Eddie Dale. Ada Lum. Harry
Peterson, George Bartlett and Helen
