geo. FULLER GOLDEN AND
HOPE BOOTH AT SHUBERT,

Advanced vaudeville continues to
grow in favor throughout the entire cir
cult of theatres Klaw & Erlanger have
established under this new policy. The
patronage and popularity in each instance
are evidence of the fact that this class
of entertainment is responding to the
taste and desire of playgoers. 1t is said
by the representatives of Klaw & Err
hanger that the second week of advanced
vaudeville at each city on the circuiH
shows even larger patronage and more en-
thusiastic expressions of favor than On
the opening week.
The acts for the coming week at the
6hubert Theatre here include contributions
by such well-known stars of vaudeville
as George Fuller Golden and Hope Booth.
Mr.. Golden needs no Introduction to the
Newark public. for his fame and popu-
1arity are widespread in this country, and
his reputation il almost as great in Eng
Hand. where Londoners also have taken
him and his quaint ways and sayings to
lkheir hearts. His oratorical efforts now
are directed toward regulating the mar
riage problem. and 1t is safe to predict
he will create laughter from the moment
he appears until the finale of his act.

The playlet in which she Is appearing was

the atmosphere of the newspaper office In

That this atmosphere is so faithfully re-

staged~her own piece.

CARLOTTA NILSSON IN
ssTHR THREE OF U.s."

Miss Carlotta Nilsson, fresh from a long
summer vacation, will inaugurate her
secono season as a star in 1.-The Three of
Us" at the Newark Theatre on Monday
night. The play, which ran all last year
IN New York at the Madison Square
Theatre, is now to be shown to the coun-
try at large. The reputation which Miss
Nilsson, through the medium of the play.
has already firmly established for herself
In the metropolis must now be made or
unmade for good and all by the manner in
which she Is received by the general public
Of other cities.
When "The Three of Us" was seen for
the first time. about a yenr ago, at the
Madison Square Theatre, under the man
agement of Walter N. Lawrence. all the
critics applauded the performance. Those
familiar with metropolitan criticism know
how unusual a thing it is for all the re-
viewers to agree in p%raising a play and
performance without a single dissenting
voice. 1t is an absolute fact In the case
of 1.-THE Three of Us" that this unanimous
praise was well deserved.
Miss Nillson undoubtedly proved to be
the best actress for the play. and II is also
probably tue that it would be difficult to
find another drama equally adapted to the
abilities of Miss Nilsson. She is a woman
who has learned by bitter experience the
value of a genuine human kindness, and
her experience Is not lost in her acting.
In her hands the character of the young
girl, Rhy Macchesney. has become a
creation which enlists the eompletest SYM
patty.
The story of the play is quite simple. 1t
Is all about a Western mining deal. The
three characters from whom the play takes
Its name are Rhy Macchesney and her two
younger brothers. The older of these
brothers makes a mistake which comes
within an ace of proving fatal to the
Family fortunes. but Rhy comes to the
rescue and heroically saves the day. She
does this all in a sisterly manner, without
heroics and without ever reproaching her
brother for his error. Though one OF the
main features of the drama is the interest
of the love episodes in which Rhy hnds
herself involved, the prevailing note is
that of sisterly and brotherly affection.
This is the rare note that Miss Nilsson has
known SO well how to interpret.
THE Three of U.s. will be seen In New
ark precisely as 1t was presented in New
York last season. Walter n. Lawrence is
roo proud of he reputation the play has
gained to jeopardize its out-of-town
chances by offering an inferior cast or a
touchdown" production. MIR. Lawrence
Rlso understands that the patrons of the
Newark Theatre have been accustomed to
khe best metropolitan productions, and
will be satisfied with nothing less worthy,

will be the appearance of Miss Margaret

characters
This character, who receives n de-
livers an object lesson in the superior
attractions of the present over the days
of chivalry, celebrated in the James X.
Hackett drama, is a young American

Miss Minnie Dupree, an actress of much
charm. The mpan which supports
