''CAMEO KIRBY is
UNUSUAL DRAMA

Cameo Kirby the new comedy
drama from the pens OF Booth Tark
ington and Harry Leon Wilson, in
which Dustin Farnum is scheduled to
appear at the Van Ness theater for
two weeks beginning tomorrow Mon
day) night, with matinee on Saturdays
only, is the first new vehicle supplied
this excellent young romantic actor
by his managers, Liebler & Co.
In it Farnum has the picturesque
role OF a Mississippi river gambler of
the early thirties. His fondness for
canoes, subsequent to the DETECTING Of
a blow from a stiletto by one of these
little stones, has won for him his nick
name He is a man ruled BY a strange
mixture of human instincts, by super
stition, and by a deep regard for the
honor of his profession. At the open
ing of the play he takes refuge in the
home of a Nine. Davezac while es-
Gaping from a mob.
Adele Randall, knowing him only as
man who needs assistance, gives him
shelter and protection. She later finds
out his identity and learns that he is
the gambler who won her fathers plan
tation at cards, the loss OF which
caused him TO commit suicide The
scenes that follow are of tense dra-
matte nature. The authors have sue
ceeded in preserving the element Of
suspense without a letup throughout
the play. The techrtcal question
mark is skillfully hung up at each
fall of the curtain, and throughout the
piece runs strong love interest
while genuine comedy is frequently
called into play.

An American Singer

THE new singers in the pres
{ ePt Italian opera company who
have made a big impression,
Mile. Strauss stands in the lead More
over, she is American porn, a native of
Erie. Pa. For some reason not dis
cernible on the surface, there is a
great reluctance apparent on the part
of opera managers-particuI grand
opera managers-to admit what is es-
teemed damaging fact, that a singer
could be born In America. It's all
right to be a native once they've been
abroad and become a star later hailed
with delight at the Manhattan or Met
ropolitan, but that a woman should
sing after birth in America is not a
circumstance willingly admitted.
However, Miss Strauss does not offer
any apology for the residence of her
parents when she first opened her
mouth and uttered her initial and more
or less musical tone. She is proud
she was born here, and only the ext
gencies of membership in Latin com
pany advise the title mademoiselle, in
stead of our plain and simpler and
sweeter miss" So she is really Miss
Strauss.
She is of French and German par
entage. AS may be guessed by her
name-her father was German and her
mother French. It's a good mixture
and her art develops that truth. for
she has the solidity OF the German in
her artistic conceptions and the fancy
of the French in her byplay and finesse.
After study in this country she went
to France. where she studied under
Koenig, in Paris. Her first operate
appearance was in Bordeaux She is
yet very young in the search for Par
nassus' tops. but she gives evidence of
having within her the mskings of
great artist. She says that a woman
must possess youth. temperament i'm
pulse, feeling and undying persever-
ance to succeed in the calling of
grand opera singer. She must be
gifted by nature with a healthy and
well adjusted vocal apparatus, and
should be sound physically and men
tally. With these gifts and a dispo-.
sition to sing, fame should come after
years of study and hard work" she
says.
