tunity for glorious stage pictures and

The most successful musical COM
edy in the last decade of the theatre
is Klaw & Changers The Pinh
Lady" now in its seventh month at
the New Amsterdam theatre, New
York city, but a production of which
will be seen in other cities later in
the season. THE Pink Lady has
upset the ideas Of managers who are
proclaiming hal long runs are 40
longer possible on Broadway, and de-
fed the heat in attracting large aud
fences.
Klaw & Erlanger will also make
a London production of this Caryll-
Mcclellan comedy on January 3rd.
1912. The end Of the New York run
is not yet in sight. One of the most
effective results of the Pink Lady"
vogue, is the public demand for mus
ical entertainments following the
lines of The Pink Lady"
KIaw & Erlanger will open their
new Atlanta theatre, the Atlanta, in
September with George Beban, who
, will appear under the firms manage
ment this season in his own play,
The Sign of the Rose" a drama of
current life in New York city, in
which Beban gives a wonderful char
acter study of an Italian street labor
er Mr.. Beban's rise in the stage
world as a character actor has been
as rapid as it was certin. He liter
ally forced himself into prominence
in the earlier small parts he played,
his first real chance being in George
NJ. Cohan's musical comedy The
American Idea" Mr.. Beban is q ma
tive of San Francisco, his first ap-
p~earance on the stage being as a
boy baritone. Klaw & Erlanger sur
rounded him with a splendid COM
pauy and a production in detail and
atmospheric touches will be made.
Klaw & Erlanger. in addition to
their work in New York and through
out the United States. will be domi-
nant factors i nthe theatrical situa-
lions in London this coming season,
as The Pink Lady" will be produc-
ed at the Globe Theatre in the Brit
. ish metropolis in January, "Rebec-
ca, of Sunnybrook Farm" will be
given under the sponsorship of Sir
Charles Wyndham about Easter
time, and the same week most like
Iy Ben Hur' will be seen in q great
revival at the Drury Lane Theatre.
1t will be remembered that Ben
Hur" was presented in London nine
years ago during the reign OF King
Edward, and was playing to an aY-
erage business of 1000 pounds. or
$4,000 a week, when the king was
stricken with appendicitis a fact
which stopped all amusements in the
metropolis and interrupted the bril-
liant run OF the American play. That
engagement also marked the first
time that an English sovereign ever
sat in the pit of a theatre as a box
In the pit was erected for the king
and his family to enable them the
better to enjoy the thrilling contest
of the great chariot race in Ben
Hur."
