Daniel Frohman, who will present
Charles Cherry as the star. with Miss
Laurette Taylor and the Lyceum Thea

established himself as a capable actor of
a most agreeable presence, charming

has dashing part in THE Seven Sis

as the madcap Mier, the fourth sister, has
a vivacious role.

In Washington during the past week
hundreds of reputable business men,
whose only acquaintance with stage life
has been made from the auditorium of
a playhouse in company with their wives
and daughters, received through the mail
a photograph of dashing young women

There was nothing about the envelope or

follow the discovery by the average wife
of this photograph in her husbands mail.

a deliberate effort to advertise, not the
entertainment to be derived from the
purchase Of a seat at the Belasco Theater

Tomorrow night marks the annual en-
gagement of Sam Bernard, on which oc-
casion the Belasco will house the original
company of 100 people and the same pro-
duction Of He Came from Milwaukee
that has been seen for the past six
months at the New York Casino. where 1t
was voted one of the best things Sam
Bernard has done in years.
Mr.. Bernard's role is that OF brewer,
Herman Won Schnellenvein, of Milwaukee.
While in Ostend a warm friendship grows
up between the brewer and man VINO
later proves to be the Duke of Zurach-
When the identity of the latter Is about
to be divulged, however, he prevails upon
Schnellenvein to pose as the real duke,
and II is this change of personalities that
causes so much OF the fun. Won Schnel-
lenvein undertakes the contract, but car
ries II to an almost tragic end. He goes
to Zurach, where he Is about to be
crowned. but luckily, chance prevents the
crowning, which, in the end would have
meant death for Won Schnellenvein.
The Messrs. Schubert have surrounded
Mr. Bernard with cast par excellence,
foremost of which are Winona winter,
Grace Leigh, Adele Rowland. Alice Cor

young officer. She has even dared to ap-

when by right she should seem very
much younger than her three sisters.
The young lieutenant agrees to help her
to marry off her elder sisters, for which
his reward will be three kisses on the
day of the third sisters marriage.
Through their scheming they not only
win husbands for the three older sisters.

slight misunderstanding. the independent

however, the publicity manager Of these
''girly shows" occasionally oversteps the
bounds of decency and brings discredit
upon his employers, his star, his COM
pany, and himself
All of this, by way of introducing the
facts in the case of the People against
the Sam Bernard Company. Mr.. Bernard
is a comedian of marked ability. OF late
years there has crept into his work an
clement of legitimate comedy acting and
serious purpose in the presentation of &C.
centric German character types that has
lifted him above the plane of bald bur
lesque and made him a real figure in the
chronicles of the contemporary stage.
Thai he should permit the representative
of his company to resort to the advertis-
ing methods employed in Philadelphia,
Baltimore, and Washington is most dis
couraging to those who placed some con-
fidence in his apparent ambition to be-
come a digniied, if comic, factor in the
histrionic profession.
In Philadelphia the scheme adopted by
Ine representative OI MS company
aroused the indignation OF the better ele-
ment of theatergoers and brought a
storm of protest from all sources. En-
ticing letters, addressed 'Dearie." were
sent broadcast to the clubmen and caIlow
youth of the city. acquainting them with
the fact that the Casino chorus girls in
the Bernard company were rare speci-
mems of amiable and sportively inclined
feminine beauty, and advising them to
be sure to get seats in the front rows
Almost instantly there was a clamor
against the "Dearie" letters. The Shu-
berts publicly disclaimed any direct con-
nection with this example Of vicious pub
licity promoting and made a scapegoat of
the advance agent
Whether the representative on whom
the blame was laid received his congo
the writer cannot say. but the fact re-
mains that last week, In Baltimore, an
advertising trick only slightly less OBJ
noxious than the "Dearie" letters was
worked throughout the hotels by repre-
sentatives in charge OF this attraction

uted bearing the picture of Sam Ber-
nard on one side and on the other,

% ACH great stride in the world s
grievOus evil. Out of this age of
COmmerciaIism and frenzied advertis-
ing has evolved the press agent or
publicity promoter. From the simple. if
cOnspicuously garbed, individual who. in
the early days of the show business was
wont to flash upon our horizon with a
bundle of free tickets in one hand and a
larger bundle of illuminating descriptions
of leading ladies. lost diamonds, and
thousand-dollar spanielS in the other. the
press agent has become an important
factor in every great commercial enter
prise, a dignitary with a suite OF Offices
and a half dozen stenographers and as
sistants. To the Standard Oil Company
as well as the Great Southwestern
Double Uncle Toms Cabin Company
the need is the same. The difference is
that the publicity man for Rocke-
feller Co. must suppress as much in
formation as he makes public, while the
Uncle Tom advance agent glories in any
form of publicity he can get for his COM
pany. All is grist that comes to his mill,
whether It be the fact that the manager
Of the company has been arrested for
beating his wife, the soubrette, or that
one of the ferocious bIoodhounds was
killed by stray cat
In the dramatic world a certain dignity
is demanded by the important managers
in the publicity work of their represent
atiyes. What the managers themselves
do not guard against the leading players
take up personally with the press agent
Freak stories and undignified person
ality advertising are not tolerated by
such actors and actresses as Sothern and
Marlowe, John Mason, Maude Adams,
and Mrs. Fiske. In the realm OF musical
comedy, however, the advance agent is
given wide latitude. Any sort of story
that he can induce the Seditors of news
papers to print as news is a feather in
his cap, so long as the name of the star
or company appears somewhere in the
narrative. In their advertising schemes,
too. the representatives of these frothy
musical attractions are bound neither by
a sense of good taste nor strict propriety.
In his quest OF novel advertising lodges,
