Singer Prides Goddess of Liberty
In these days when so many So
called musical comedies and the
like are being passed off on the pub
lie when they should long ago have
found their rightful place in the
waste basket of the author who had
the real interest of the theater-going
people of the land at heart, it is
with self pride that Mort H. Singer
offers THE Goddess of Liberty with
Joseph E. Howard at the Grand to-
night.
1t is we'll known fact that it takes
good production to run long time
with as much success as has attend
ed THE Goddess of Liberty at the
Princess theater in Chicago. It is |
because of this fact, that Mort H. |
Singer, the producer of The Goddess |
of Liberty" backed up by the uni !
versal commentator of the Chicago !
critics and public. that packed the |
theater for more than one solid year, |
is glad to offer his play elsewhere.
GIories I'm Her Cowardice.
Miss Florence Weber, the Adelina |
in Joseph Weber's The Climax COM |
pany, which comes to the Grand on |
Monday night, admits that she is a |
coward and glories in the fact to a |
certain extent.
Miss Weber and Mrs. Charles |
Hamilton, wife of the aviator, were |
school girl chums several years ago. |
When Hamilton made his wonderful !
flight from New York to Philadelphia |
and return Miss Weber was one of |
the guests entertained by the officers |
at Fort Jay, Governors Island, on |
the day of the flight. In the long |
on the Jersey marshes, the little ac- |
tress spent her time cheering Mrs. |
Hamilton. When the aviator did ar
rive, at dusk, he offered to give Miss |
Weber ride around the Statue of |
Liberty.
Get out of that seat, Charlie" was f,
the response. I'm afraid to leave |
the ground and would not go with |
you for a million dollars
Wants ''Iiquidated Damages"
The first case in which a manager |
DoohlnS through the western Naude- |
Vile Managers association seeks |
"liquidate damages" fro man act I'M
der the Illinois state law comes up
in the Chicago courts on January 9.
The case is one in which NJ. P. Sham |
burg, manager of the Columbia thea
ter at Kansas City, wants $175 from
B-i-m-m, B-o-m-m, B-r-r-r act, which
opened on the circuit at Topeka sew
eral weeks ago. While Shamberg
books through H. M. Miller, who has
desk in the association, it is by no
means an association fight and is
manager against an act.
1t appears that Shamberg runs the
