.ROARS Of LAUGHTER
CAUSED BY BERNARD
IN MUSICAL SHOW
German Dialect Comedian
Funny as Ever in He
Came From Milwaukee"

With his numbering Of the English
language and his wealth of German
accent and dialect, Sam Bernard, as
sisted by large company, kept the
capacity audience at the Belasco roar
ing with laughter last night From
the first moment that Herr Schnellen-
vein set foot on the stage until the last
curtain was rung down there was con-
dnuous mirth.
Sam Bernard is the same, only more
SO. and his bits of pathos and heavy
acting along with his brilliant comedy,
put him on a plane above the general
run Of German comedians.
He Came From Miiwaukee" is the
name Of the vehicle. and has to do
with the vicissitudes Of one Herr
Schnellenvein (sam Bernard). who takes
the place Of the Duke of Zurach, his
travelling companion. so that the real
duke can make love to an American
girl, whose mother wants her to marry
title. However. the real duke pre-
serves his incognito until the last
minute, and before the first curtain
goes down he marries the girl to save
her from becoming the wife Of the other
duke.
However, the story deals principally
with the doings Of the bogus duke. for
1t seems that there Is a revolution in
Zurack, and the dukes path is not ali
roses. He has to fight a duel, and is
sentenced to be hung for being a spy,
but of course everything turns out ali
right in the end.
Sam Bernard has two songs in
the play, the best one being "Conse-
quences." Other catchy tunes are
Love Is Like a Red. Red Rose" I'm
Gypsy Land" Bohemia" and "Zinga
Zula Man"
There is an excellent supporting cast
which includes George Baldwin as the
duke: Billy CASTOR, whose clever dane
ing Is not unknown to local theater.

WE'LL WORTH WHILE
AND VERY AMUSING

A comedy that's different is at the

Julia Mardock Says "7he Price" Works
Out Moral Problem to Loaical End

There are two kinds of law, and there
always will be two kinds of law; one for
the woman, the other for the man who
sins. Ethel Toscani should have rec
ognized this fact. But then IL she had
there would have been no play, for
she would have seen that she could
not safely marry Ethan Bristol with
out telling him the secret of her earlier
love affair, and II she had told him
1t Is probable the marriage would have
been declared off, then the three-cor-
nered drama never would have been
played.
But she was a woman, and despite
the fact that a woman cannot keep q
secret-so the men say-she kept hers
through fear that she would lose the
man she loved, until Nemesis, in the
shape of the other mans wife, over
took her. Then 1t was all over.
Here is the problem, the womanIs
problem. which forms the keynote or
George Broadhurst's THE Price, IN
which Helen Ware is playing this week
at the Columbia Theater.
Theme Compels Attention
Of Women for Fair Play.
It is a play that compels the attention
of all women, whether they are con-
cerned in any advance movement Tor
their sex or not. They cannot fall to
be deeply interested in a play which
voices their protest against that double
and convenient standard Of morals
which condemns in a woman what 1t
merely blinks at in man. The prob
lem is worked out by Mr.. Broadhurst to
a logical. human, though tragic conclp-
out the play, and is enacted with such
fidelity that It brings the question home
to every man and women in the audi
ence. On the surface the American pub
yet no theme more certain to arouse
deep emotions could have been chosen
by the author Of the play than the
one in which he causes his principal

is present throughout the play. 1t Is
Here are quoted some Of the lines:
Difference of Barter In
Legal Sale of Women.
"If had sold myself to Il beast with
money, but had done 1t legally, and II
1 had walked down the church aisle
with lies in my heart; II had stood
before the minister and in the sight
of God had sworn to do things I knew
never could do-if, in doing this,
had sold myself as openly as a girl
sells herself on the street. but had done
1t legally. that would even call for
forgiveness. I could buy a man. or I
could sell myself legally to man. but
so long as I did it legally. 1t would
not be held against me. But II I go

whom he thinks virtuous, and then
finds she is not. that is the unforgive-
able discovery"

death of the Duke Of Fife, It was re-
