1.-THE Earl and the Girl"-Gennett.
Miss Elsie Moore, the prima donna
of THE Earl and the Girl" Co, at the
Gennett tonight, is the first and only
woman to secure nayigator's license
/! in Australia. Miss Moore went in
for yachting and soon was the owner
OF thirty-footer that was the queen
OF the fleet. A friend being called TO
/ England, placed at her disposal his
steam yacht with instructions TO his
captain to take orders from Miss
Moore. Whenever she could get away
from her theatrical duties Miss Moore
was TO be seen sailing in and out of
the harbor. She made up her mind to
become proficient in seamanship, SO
much SO that she might surprise her
friends by taking them on short cruis-
es in command of the craft.
| The officers on board entered into
the plan and being an apt student, it
was not long before the prima donna
made application for a license and
passed a successful examination
| Miss Moore is native of the Fiji
/ 1SldUuS, WHICH QO6S not unnecessarily
mean that she is cannibal. Her
| father the Hon. George Moore, was for
a number of years governor of the Fiji
| Islands and though at first opposed to
his daughters penchant for theatrit
ais, was finally prevailed upon to al
low her to adopt the stage as a pro-
fession. Miss Moore began her stage
career in Australia and has been less
than year in this country. She Sc
cured an audience with the Messrs
Shubert, who promptly engaged her
for the part of Elphin Haye in 1.-THE
Earl and the Girl Co.
| Uncle Toms Cabin."-Gennett
Last season the street parade of Al.
w. Martins Uncle Toms Cabin
was eliminated. Although the reasons
of this radical departure were good
and sufficient from managerial
standpoint and the conviction has been
forced upon the show that the thinking
public no longer took any interest in
the street parade, that there was nat
urally, a great deal of curiosity to
know how the experiment would be
| received.
| Last seasons tour embraced a peri
cd of over ten months. During that
time not single parade was given
and yet the business far exceeded that
of any of the preceding seasons. The
Martin show has always been a leader
in important innovations. 1t has al
ways set the pace for other shows in
he same field. No other manager
would have had the courage to at
tempt such a departure from a long es
tablished custom. One well known
manager, when asked if he would inn
| itate the example of AL. w. Martin
said: Il would like to, but I can't My
show doe sn't consist of anything but
| the parade" Another well known
critic in one of the leading newspapers
said, "Al. W. Martins production of
Uncle Toms Cabin does not exhibit
Eva parading through the streets at
| the noon hour, with a paper mache ha-
| 10 over her head, and a brass band in
her wake, playing in discordant tones.
There will Be Hot Time in our Old
/ Town Tonight The All w. Martin
attraction is given on the stage of the
| theater and not on the stress. At
/ he Gennett next Thursday, matinee
and night.
| ne flower Glrl"-Gennett.
| In the three act musical comedy,
THE Flower Girl" which the Shuberts
are to offer at Gennett next Friday
night, fiirtatious young nobleman in
vites a whole shop full of fascinating
flower girls to a farewell bachelor pic
mic in the Partisan suburbs. This
event, which takes place in the second
act, is said to overbubble with rustic
merriment and sylvan charm. One of
its unique novelties is the Donkey Du-
ct, while the Swing Song and the
Country Dance are picturesque Incl
dents. The chic and verve of the
first act in Paris flower shop of 1910
and the splendor of the last act in the
court of Louis PHILIPPE at the Tuileries
afford striking contrasts with this
mirthsome country holiday of the pref
ty flower girls. The music of the
piece is declared to be deliciously col
orful and sparkling throughout.
Vaudeville at the Phillips.
This afternoon will usher in a
new vaudeville bill at the New Phil
| ips that will measure Up fully, it is
believed to the high standard of the
one presented during the week just
closed and also in the week preceding
and in many weeks that are now a
matter of theatrical history. Among
the numbers is a sketch entitled The
Players" by Mr.. and Mrs. John T.
Powers, who are known to New Phil
| fps patrons as among the most capa-
Bile of refined entertainers. John w.
/ Foster, who will appear as a German
come dian, is said to be far superior
to many who essay this role and who
never get beyond the simplest form
of German comedy; in fact, show no
real appreciation of the German char
acter. kresko and Groves, a lively
team, are expected to keep things go
| ing while they are on the stage. The
| complete program for the week is as
| follows

edian.
