 Elsie Janis has just signed con \ tract with Charles Dillingham; fo I five years. She will appear as sta a in musical comedy under his man 4 agement. All the theatrical worl' E is wondering why she is not satis fled with vaudeville. when she ha z been getting $3,000 a week in 1t She can have little hope of doinl # better by making a change. But
 is quite possible that even such goo' J things come to an end. The frs : play In which she is to appear is al
 most complete. In the last act of it
 which is in Newport. the heroine mother has engaged to give a vaude
 vile entertainment. but her actor
 do not show up. The heroine In tn
 play, Miss Janis. saves the situation . by playing all the parts herself.
 should give Miss Janis good oppor
 tunity to show her ability as an i'm
