Profean Plays Always Popular

~ NE of the most difficult plays to
write, as it is one of the most
- difficult plays to play, is
drama in which one man or one. Wo-
man has to play more than one part,
in which the contrast of two or more
personalities created by one player is
one of the attractions of the piece, and
in which there is little time provided IN
which the player is to change from one
character to the other.
Yet the history of the stage, partlcu-
larly that part of the history which has
been made in the last century, proves
that plays of this nature often are so
profitable that the difficulty of writing
or appearing in them ought by all art
lists to be regarded as small consid-
GRAFTON.
Nothing except the anxiety of the
public to be given this sort of puzzling
entertainment is responsible for the
success upon our stage of the Dutch
actor, Henri de Vries Some of the
finest inscriptions upon the tablets
that certify to the artistic greatness of
Charles Mathews, Henry Irving, Rich
ard Mansfield, Charles Kean and Rob-
ert Mantell, and James O'Neill, and to
the worthy accomplishments of players

Wycherly, r. A. Roberts and others of
that stamp are due to this protean act

the palmy days. Pierce Egan, author
of "Corinthian Tom" the play that ex-

Life of an Actor" which, aside from
the picture it paints of particular
period in the history of the English
stage, is quite worthless. His Proteus

Success Awaits Red Headed
Ballet

TOHNNY LIE FEVRE, one Of the
youngest and most hu5tling mem
~ bers Of the vaudeville fraternity,
who, besides his stage work. has Gre
ated several mild sensations by his
unique advertising methods, and who
next season is billed to go out as a
manager has sprung the newest and
most surprising theatrical idea of the
year He proposes to form red
headed ballet consisting of forty
(genuineness guaranteed) red-headed
chorus maidens, and to cater to he'd
headed trade in the larger cities. MOI
only will he cater to persons who them
selves are red headed, but he contends
that the admirers of auburt, titan
brick, firecracker and plain red hair
will flock to see the performance OF
his red headed ballet.
The idea of the red headed ballet was
considered a joke when LIE Fevre
broached it, but his arguments have
been so convincing that 1t is stated he
will annex the red headed ballet feat
ure to the show which he is planning
to take out.
'In the first place." says LIE Fevre,
'red headed girls are not only the most
beautiful (begging my wife's pardon
for the statement, she being brunette),
but they are the most popular. l have
watched for years while chorus people
were working and discovered that the
most admired women on the stage are
the red haired ones. Just sit in any
theater while forty or fifty girls are
on the stage and you will see the opera
glasses following the gyrations of the
red haired girls. Usually they are stun
ming, but even when small, red hair
Los Angeles herald., 1907-06-02

seems to attract the attention and the
admiration of the audience.
THAT this fact is noticed and recog-
nized as true by the actresses them
selves is proved by the number who
copy red hair, who change even pretty
brown, black and light hair to red OF
all tintS.
"Men admire red haired girls. I have
investigated in dozens of companies
and found that the red haired girls are
as a rule more popular than any others.
Besides that, the question of talent
enters largely into it. You have only
to look over the list of the first-class
actresses who have risen from the
chorus to find out that red hair indi-
Gates something. Red haired women,
especially the beautiful auburn haired
ones, seem destined - rise on the
stage.
"That red hair indicates vivacity.
grace and fire is recognized by almost
all managers. 1 know men who have
hundreds of chorus people every year
and who, when given the choice be-
tween women, always will choose the
red haired ones.

on the red haired batllet and chorus. |

don't much care what tone of red the
hair is-anything, just so it is real and
red. OF course, good looks will be
necessary, but as the red haired
women are almost all good looking
there will be only the question of select

Musical Shows from Classics

T~aE business of turning the classics
of literature into comic operas and
musical comedies goes on apace
and it seemg as if it will not be long
be.ore it will be possible to have all
the great novelists, essayists and poets
served with musical embroidery.
One [. the most recent works of this
sort has just been produced with sue
cess in England Iris is the comic
opera version oe Fieldings TON
Jones' Il. M. Thomson and helper
have made a comic opera of that great
now. There was one modelled on the
same book before they did it. Robert
Buchanan made the other and called
it Sophia" after the chief feminine
character, Sophia Western.
musicc.l version of Shakespeare's
1.-The Merry Wives of Windsor" has
been in existence for several years and
has enjoyed varying prosperity. An
operatic Romeo and Juliet" entirely
apart from the grand opera of that
name, has also been produced under
another name. But the same story is
told in the light opera as in the play,
with the exception that the librettist
and the composer took no chances Of
cheating the audience of their happy
ending, so they reconciled the Capulets
and the Montagues and let Romeo
have his Juliet.
OF course subject that called for
musical comedy as loudly as 1.-THE
Tanning of the Shrew" has received 1t
long ere this, but there are other plays
left upon which the prentice dramatic
author may try his hand. E. H. Soth-
ern and Julia Marlowe, who last played
Petruchio and Katherine in Chicago,
would be amazed were they to see the
musical didoes that have been plastered
over the light operate version of THE
Tanning of tthe Shrew."

many actors since and in the altitude
to which his f1ctional hero rose that
hero has been surpassed by many
actual players.
The revival in this country of the
protean sketch was due largely to.Hen-
ri de Vries with his "a Case of Arson,
in which he plays six characters. Mar
garet Wycherly, wife of Bayard Viller,
a playwright, then had sketch con-
structed along the same lines with the
difference that the principal player in
it was a woman instead of a man. Will
liam Courtleigh, who has been good
juvenile, a good leading man and a
good character actor, then had one
built according to his specification
May Edouin has one in which she plays
trained nurse, an italian girl, an
English girl, a Japanese woman, and
an American bride. 1t was in this
piece that Fred Edwards and the
homeliest dressing gown in captivity
today engaged themselves.
These indications in vaudeville that
the protean thing was the thing all
appeared after the mastery work done

ON BEING AWAKENED BY A FAC
TORY GIRL SINGING

You wake me with your shrill soprano.
Soe-eyed Yiddish maid,
Singing as you hem a coat sleeve
or turn a strip of braid;
1 lie in bed and curse your tumult
That spoiled my morning rest
And wonder who on earth concocted
That early-rising jest;
He may get up, what time 1t please him
For, that, and SO may you
To lose my best sleep, too2
Confound you, it's a beastly outrage q
But what is that you sing
A queer. outlandish. Slavic folk-soflgs
A plaintive, minor thing?
Perhaps they sung it in the steerage
To soothe your eyelids down,
Perhaps for you it means the homeland
In this great, homeless townl
My broken dreams were of homeland
Afar from these drab walls,
Where woodlands spread, and on the
grasses
At night the sweet dew falIss
My fellows in the prison city,
rise to face the day
And humbly send my prayer for pardon
Across the area-way.

theater now than they ever
have played before, unfortunately have
begun to quarrel among themselves,

they were doing for the drama.
One of the things one woman did for
another woman of the theater was to
write play in which the other woman
caught her greatest cold by going In
her bare feet. The actress was Mary
Mannering The. play was Glorious
Betsy" and the author was the same
Mrs. Young. Miss Mannering played a
long scene with her feet bare and she
caught cold. The same calamity over
came Blanche Bates long ago, when
she played in Naughty Anthony" al
though when Mabel Taliaferro played
the barefooted Pippa in Browning's s
"Pippa Passes" she did not get cold
feet, although the play itself had FROST
bitten reception.
Henri De Vries, Dutch actor, who
came to this country three years ago,
and most of whose time since his ar
rival has been consumed in the vaude-
vile, ventured into the real regular
theaters this year in play written by
a woman. "Rinehart Roberts" was the
name on the program. but "Rinehart
Roberts" was woman. And. woman
like, she became piqued when the
Dutch actor thought that he could
make successful alterations in her play.
She called halt through her play
came to an end.
Margaret Wycherly, whose principal
success in this country was made in
the title role in "Everyman," and who
| afterward did a protean sketch in vau-
deville with more than moderate sue
cess has had the felicity to get play
written by her husband. This husband
is Bayard Villier, and he wrote the play
for his wife and would think of submit
ting it to no one else.
1t was a woman who caused more
trouble for Will ]. Block this year than
anybody has been able to make FOR that
manager since he quit being a hotel
clerk and went into the show business,
The woman is Alice Fischer. She tied
up three of Blocks shows till Sellers
Largey, the man behind the bank roll
in the Block enterprise, put up cash
bond of 100000
There was no question of Blocks or
Largeys financial responsibility. But
Miss Fischer tied up the show because
she claimed that she had not been
starred for thirty weeks by Block, as
she said he had agreed to do. She said
that he had agreed to pay her $500 a
week and a percentage of the profits.
Which is not bad for woman who has
been out of Indiana only few years.

One of the women who made late
spring start in getting into the ranks
of leading actresses this spring is Pau
line Frederick. She is remembered in
Chicago because of her great beauty
and the fine voice which she used in
Lew Fields support in "It Happened in
Nordland" But not satisfied with be-
ing musical comedy celebrity, she
sought out James K. Hackett and
made arrangements for being launched
in play without music. "The Girl in
White" was the play selected. 1t was

which Mary Mannering had failed be-

act that has been brought to this

been brought by women. Six strapping

have come over with military drilling
