GOSSIP OF STAGE

5 "The Easiest Way" the play
Eugene Walter wrote for Char
lotte Walker, whom he afterward
married, will be produced within
the next two weeks and will be
given a road trial before Belasco
places 1t in New York. Frances
Starr will be seen in the role
originally intended for Miss Walk
er. Prominet in Miss STAIRS sup
port will be Laura Nelson Hall,
who was Vaughan Glasers lead
ing woman for long time.
David Warfield may not appear
as Shy1ock until next season. He
has announced that his production
of 1.-THE Merchant Of Venice" will
make that play really a comedy
as 1t Is cataloged. Instead of act
ing his role in continual gloom
and air of tragedy, he will handle
1t with cherfullness where the
lines are not heavy. If he is sue
cessful as Shylock he will try
Lear sfterward. A new play for
production next season is being
written for him, but Belasco de-
ciines to give details.

AT THE GRAND

Next week at the Grand will be
|children's week, for they are
going to have a chance to see the
ever famous Buster Brown" and
his dog "Tige." Buster" will be
seen in roaring comedy entitled
"Auntie's VISIT" together with a
company of six capable actors. The
skit is said to be one of the
greatest laughing acts ever put on
a vaudeville stage.
The Fetching Brothers, with
their Musical Flower Garden"
will also bring down the house,
according to word from other cit
les in the circuit. The two
"comiques" can produce sweet
strains from anything in the gar
den, from a long-stalked sun flow
er or common garden spade.
Emily Bonner, said to be the
most beautifully gowned woman
in vaudeville, is on the program
for several renditions of popular
songs. She possesses a rich bari
tone voice of unusual depth and
penetration.
