THEATRE THIS YEAR
AT THE PLAY
By ARTHUR G. WALKER
MARGE, a dramatic comedy by
Catherine Chisholm Cushing, at
the Apollo all this week.
Melodramatic comedy might
best be termed the description of
“Marge” which offers the tale of a
girl who was willing to go wrong
for the sake of the boy she loved,
in the current play at the Apollo,
T.he piece has many earmarks
of appealing to a certain class of
public, though its good points are
psychologically dissapitated by
the necessity of knitting two al
most separate plays which are
held together by the activities of
the girl herself as the focal center
of the plot.
Some strange changes in char
acter take place during the pro
gress of this story, which is in
most part a character study of the
slangy uneducated type of girl.
A goodness of heart and honesty
of purpose, unmarred by associa
tion with any tainting circum
stances and in all fearless of con
sequences when purpose stood
ahead of desire, marked this at
tractive and rather undignified
girl of the New York lower class.
Gertrude Vanderbilt plays the
girl with a rakish mannerism and
spirit that are in full comport
with the author’s depiction by
word and description. Her ap
pearance in this straight role was
one of perfect satisfaction which
contributed greatly to the possi
bility which the play holds of
meeting a Broadway appeal.
Much commendation can be
given to the small part played by
Elaine Temple of a young in
animate girl, while Robert Fische:
as the proprietor of a Cabare
notably depicted the good hear
and bad exterior of a man hand
ling leader.
George LeGuere as the boy whi
was petted to distraction an<
afterward recovered, also gave i
faithful portrayal that wai
worthy of his usually splendic
playing. Louis Bennison in a las
act part, found a place more suite<
to his smile and drawl than an;
of the many he has offered in At
lantic City.
KEITH VAUDEVILLE at th<
Globe Theatre all this week witl
Clark and McCullough anc
other acts,
Clark and McCullough’s fun
making tactics brought the late
stars of Irving Berlin’s Music Boj
Revue a warm reception on th<
part of the audiences last Monday
at the opening of this week’s B. F
Keith vaudeville at the Globe The
atre.
These two inimitable comedians
and inimitable is the word for the;
have a way about them that is diS'
tinctly original, presented a side
splitting farce entitled, “The In
terview,” in whihh they sang th<
laughable song, “Three Cheers foj
the Red, White and Blue.” As
politicians, they were “it.”
“The Bath Between” was th<
title of a second comic sketch tha1
irew laughs galore. Assisted bj
a cast of capable actors, Clark anc
McCullough put over the seconc
playlet in splendid style, deserV'
ing of their titles as headliners on
the Keith presentations.
Direct from musical comedy
triumphs, Mr. and Mrs. Jimmie
Barry presented an offering en
titled, “Scandals of Hensfoot Cor
' ners,” which drew a chuckle from
start to finish.
George MacFarland & Com
pany’s offering made an, especial
appeal to music lovers. The clear
rendition of the popular Ameri
, can baritone made his act one of
the most popular on the entire
; bill.
[ Another thick slab of comedy
. was applied by Billy Lytell and
[ Tom Fant, who danced and joked.
. Stan Kavanag.h, the Australian
juggling humorist on his first
American tour, opened the Keith
bill in fine fashion, jesting as he
juggled. Ruth Budd, “the girl
with a smile,” and Bowers, Walt
ers and Croker finished well this
week’s offering at the Globe.
THE THIEF OF BAGDAD, pho
toplay with Douglas Fair
banks, at the Savoy Theatre.
It has doubtless been the dream
of many a child and equally many
a grown up to realize just one of
the numerous “Arabian Nights”
dreams with their countless possi
bilities. To have these come to
reality with Douglas Fairbanks
doing the principal magical stunts
and with the skill of the modern
photographer to .help along the
mysteries of an idealistic setting
is just about all that anybody can
ask.
There has been no greater film
entertainment presented on the
screen than the elaborate, spec
tacular, fantastical story which
was revealed last Sunday night on
the Savoy Theatre screen with a

TED LEWIS
The wielder of high hats, batons and
other syncopation delights which make
for comedy as well as perfect jazz
melodies is to be the headline feature at
the Globe Theatre next week with his
celebrated orchestra which is known for
its delights to music lovers.
considerable glamor of enchant- \
ment affixed thereto by the dig
nity of special curtains a quartet
of Russian singing players be
tween the acts and the serving of
refreshing sherbet during inter
mission.
This is not a Fairbanks “stunt”
picture though he has opportunity
for a few effective climbs during
the rather lengthy showing. It is
a picture that thrills with glorious
unexpected moments, with deeds
that have not been foreshadowed,
with exploits that read well but
seem humanly incapable of per
formance. Such romantic exploits
for the imagination have been
culled ages ago but only this cen
tury has achieved of seeing these
exploits in action.
“The Thief of Badgad,” as Fair
banks has given it to us, is one of
those rare events that no one
should miss, that almost every
body wants to see twice, and that
more than satisfies the most jaded
palate that any theatre ever gets.
Fairbanks, smiling and wary of
eye, bronzed in skin, is splendidly
big in this light and fairy tale
role. Some of the oldest and most
favorite of the “Arabian Nights”
live in this film. There is the
magic carpet, the crystal ball, the
golden apple that brings back life,
the trip of the three Princes for
the hand of the Princess of Bag
dad, the invisible robe, the magic
rope and the mysterious chest that
realizes all ambitions. It is a
glorious tale, so splendidly accom
plished that we can only wonder
at the achievement and express a
longing to see it all again.
