MAUDE LILLIAN BERRI-
REAL COMEDIENNE

"a AUDE LILLIAN BERRI has run
N\away from home. She told me that
it was up to this interview to
break the news of her engagement at
the Princess with Kolb and Dill as
gently as 1 could to Frank Moulan.
The prima donna's right name, accord
ing to a marriage license, is Mrs.
Maude Lillian Moulan.
Frank doesn't know thing about
it, she confided to me, "and it will be
a real surprise, for this is the first
time since we were married that 1

incontestable, and l can't see why I
should be barred from the enjoyment

other drop with mosquito netting hold
ing the foliage together was hung. In
my experience of stage affairs 1 didn't
know that there was nothing to impede
the sight between the backdrop and the
audience, so I streaked across the stage
! in front OF the drop, waded through
Marblehead harbor in full view of the
20 people in the audience. That was
the opening night. A reviewer stranded
in Ansonia said in his criticism next
day that Maude Lillian Berri won the
record She had negotiated the har-
Dor of Marblehead and hadn't even
dampened her shoes. I went right
through. 1 didn't know a f1y from a

John Reid and I were the whole opera
one night Martha Rose Leighton, the
wife of Gustave Kerker, occupied the
same dressing room with me and
taught me lot about makeup and so
forth. But she lost because the ghost
ceased to walk. and when she went the
chorus struck, and some of the other
principals quit. The orchestra re-
nained, however. and we gave Faust
Reid and I, not excepting the soldiers
chorus. which we rendered in our very
best style
But that was my only unhappy ex-
perience in stage work After that

The good natured Teutonic smile

ance is gone. This is the whyfore:
Those who saw performance Of
Dream City" at the Princess theater
recently will remember the diminutive
porker that Dill. as the Long island
truck farmer, carried on the stage
when he made his first entrance The
pig had been made member of the
Kolb and Dill company when it played
in Los Angeles. and IL had done good
work both in the City OF Angels and
here. The pig had great histrionic
talent and a rosy future. IL was a
wonderful ham, Dill naturally admires
a good actor or actorine, and he de-
veloped an admiration for the pig.
His fondness grew and grew So when
Dream City" was shelved for The
Politicians he determined that the
long association should not cease
In the meantime Clarence Ko1b was
scheming. There was nothing OF SEN
timent in his soul Pigs Is pigs" said
he but roast porker is better than
a live ham any day In the week"
So last Wednesday night a couple
of hired assassins, their pockets lined
with Kolb's base gold, sneaked into
the corpulent Dilrs dressing room dur
ing the performance. and when the
comedian returned after the acts
end. his pet was missing Dill was
frantic with grief. believing that
the pig had wandered away OF it's own
free will. for no suspicion of the dire
plot entered his Uranium.
Now the one time actor hangs upon
hook in butcher shop. and tomorrow
night Dill will be invited TO assist IN
dining upon the remains of the pig
that was.
The end is not yet, for there Is
nothing like peace in Dilfs soul. and

"a ND now, if you want me to tell
n you what the essence of bur

clown.
I'm this play, Mr.. Hamlet of Broad

Now that line never fails to get a
laugh. Yet 1t isn't funny. 1t isn't
funny to Joey Wheeze. either. He's
nearly starved. and he finds himself at
last in front of hotel of which even
the proprietor is ashamed. That's a
pretty serious proposition.
Another thing about burlesque.
Never introduce anything outside of
the knowledge of the audience. For
instance, a north pole scene was
planned in one of the plays was to
appear in. 1t was suggested that one
of the characters should appear sliding
up to the pole on a cake of ice. That
wasn't any good. Nobody In the audi

anybody who had. ] suggested that the
hero come along Juggling a red hot
stove. 1t got a laugh that way, be-
cause we've all been up against hot
stove.
