"Nearly a Hero. -

That popular comedian Sam Bernard
in his newest and jollest musical farce.
Nearly a Hero will appear at the Be-
lasco Theater next week under the man
agement of Sam s. and Lee Shubert. The
show comes almost direct from its long
run at the New York Casino
Harry B. Smith, the author, has pro-
vided Mr.. Bernard with what the New
York and Boston critics have declared to
be the most amusing role he has ever
had. He plays Ludwig knoedler, a Ger
man tailor, who, in order to save himself
from eviction for non-payment of rent
is forced to become first a man rescued
from drowning and later the rescuer. or
course 1t is all pretense and the fun
which arises from the absurd complica-
tons is fast and furious.
The Shuberts have provided Mr.. Ber-
nard with talented company. Three
capable young women occupy the lead
ing roles: Miss Grace La Rue. Broad

Columbia.

At the Columbia Theater tomorrow
evening 1.-The Right to Live" will be
placed on view for the first time. The
claim is made that the new author of this
play has delved quite deeply into certain
social conditions. not with the object of
making a preachment, but rather for the
display of good dramatic material, yet at
the same time placing before the public
in a strong and convincing manner the
fruits Of his observations, thus establish
ing in the public mind the necessity for
some concerted action for the upbuilding
of society The theme of the play Is not
essentially badness upon the part Of men
and women. but their weakness. The
claim has been made that society Is being
brought to a lower level by It's drifting
with the tide, as 1t were, and the theory
has been advanced that unless there is
some strong individuality shown to check
the current society both in England and
the United States-particularly the lat
ter-will have descended from its lofty
position and may not be able to re-estab-
fish itself on the lines of simplicity and
elegance.
1.-The Right to Live does not directly
deal with such conditions as may or may
not prevail at Newport or other fashion
able circles 1t does. however, 1t is stat
ed deal with conditions that are only too
prominent. to the disadvantage of all
classes Of society. The vital forces with
their romances of love and hate as
brought forth in 1.-THE Right to Live" are
such as prevail in every country Of the
world. There are eleven characters rep
resented in the play. Those constituting
the players are Miss Grayce Scott, Miss
Vivian Townsend, Miss Eleanor Moretti,
Miss Lulu Klein. Albert Bruning, Charles
Frank Stanley. Morgan Wallace and John

was at the age of eight years. when he
and Lew Fields ran away from home and
appeared in song and dance turn at
little theater just off the BoWery for the
munificent sum of so cents each. This
gave the two boys the necessary courage
to go ahead with their chosen profession.

Webers most valued possessions today is
a contract. duly signed by some long
forgotten manager and framed and hung
over his desk at Weber'S Theater, New
York. 1t stipulates that Weber and his
partner were to receive SO week each
for doing turn, and Weber says he can
look back even now and remember what
a splendid salary that was. Before Weber
was twenty years old he was a half part

he was twenty-eight was financially inter

even then. and his chance came in Albany
when one of the actors in I'VE. Us &

management offered the part to JONES' and
also the saIary-$1S per. The young man
made substantial success from the start
and next season found him in support of
