1.-The Plays the Thing
BY |. r. 3.
BY I. R. 3.

Newarkers are beginning to show
their civic pride IN a way which here
tofore has been neglected. They are
patronizing their own theatres, IN
stead of running over TO New York.
Art, no less than business, needs
the encouragement OF money the
slogan "Shop in Newark" was early
recognized to be powerful lever IN
promoting the interest of home
products. But ii was a long time be-
fore even the storekeepers who saw
most clearly the civic possibilities OF
the slogan seemed ready to apply the
spirit of IL to the theatres.
Strange that il should have taken
so long to figure out so easy an
arithmetical problem as this. There
are employed in the Newark Theatre
eighty persons, in Shuberts almost as
many, and at the Orpheum, Proctor's,
the Washington and other houses
correspcndingly large numbers, ac-
cording to their respective sizes and
reuuirements-an army aggregating
considerably more than 500 persons.
Each of these five hundred units is,
in some way, instrumental in sup
porting family. Five hundred
families unauestionably possess a
purchasing power which no wise
storekeeper would fail TO cater TO.
Ergo (as the logicians say, II is to the
interest of storekeepers and their
friends to patronize the theatres
which nay the wages OF so many of
those who patronize the stores.
It requires but little proficiency In
either arithmetic or logic to follow so
obvious a problem In reciprocity, and
yet. as has been said, II was q long
time before the storekeepers woke up

ORPHEUM SCORES
ANOTHER TRIUMPH


pierre of the Plains" the play Of
the Canadian Northwest. made i'm
mortal through the actor playwright,
Edgar Selwyn, author Of the piece,
when In company with that queen Of
stars, Elsie Ferguson. he toured Can
ada for twenty-seven weeks, some
thing extraordinary in the way of a
run for that country, is the treat Of
fered by the Brownell-Stork Stock
Company at the orpheum Theatre
this week.
The play savors of the melodramat-
&c. but is different in character than
most of the kind. The settings used
at the Orpheum this week appear TO
be an exact replica of those used by
the original company. Costumes,
makeup and characterizations are
practically identical with those of
the first night, when the writer was
first impressed with Pierre anu MS
sly French ways in the original Sell
wyn production at Toronto. And Cliff
ford Stork .is n real Pierre, and with
little more thought of his French
accent, leaving the Southern tongue
for other parts, he is ideal in the
role.
Miss Mabel Brownell, as Jen Gal
braith, is very good. Her scene with
Pierre in lonely Little Elk CacRe Is
especially fine. The loYe-making of
Pierre was very intense in subdued
way, the emotion used by the finished
artist of today. And while comment
ing ON this scene 1t is proper to say
the fall made by Joseph Sweeney,
playing the role OF Jap DuulSln, a
guide, when he is killed by Pierre, ie
marveloualy realistic, and considering
that he was the villain and seeking
the life of the hero, the tumble he
takes is altogether gratifying to the
tensely wrought-up spectator
Among the other strong parts in
the cast is that of Peter Galbraith, a
stauneh old Scotch settler, the head
or MS home, and man that mus,
nave his own way, which is portrayed
by James II. Carey. Mr.. Garey's In
depreciation of the part was very
clear, and he proved himself to be q
splendid character man in the sec
ond act, when he discovers that his
daughter has taken to the heauduar-
tiers of the Canadian mounted police
the papers that meant the death OF
his son. This was probably the
strongest scene OF the play and many
handkerchiefs were displayed among
the audience.
Other parts worthy of especial men.

Redding, played by Edward Var
Sloan, and that of the son and broth.

to realization of the importance Of
the subject.
But at last the awakening has
come, and with it the spirit of art
may also be said to have accepted an
invitation to make Its abode in New
ark. Not only are the older theatres
being better patronized, but new ones
| are going up (wltness the Payton,
which will open on Saturday.. and
still others, no doubt, in pursuance of
/ the law of demand and supply" will
be added ere long to the already re-
spectacle playhouse list.
| And, if one considers rightly this
better and more generous appre-
| citation of the theatres is not to be
ascribed alone to the wider dissent
nation of the gospel of civic pride. II
| likewise is due largely TO the fact that
theatrical managers here have been
striving TO produce the very best OF
| the plays that have won appreciation
| in other cities. And, to the honor OF
| the manager be il said, they have
done so I'm the face of the greatest dis.
couragement, arising from the
! lethargy of the public. But this, as
we have said, is all changed now, and
managers admit with no less salts
faction than pride that the seed they
had sown is beginning now to bear
rich fruit in fuller houses.
And the public, too, has reason to
rejoice, for ii cannot be emphasized
too much or too often that the theatre
is Il school. in the highest sense of the
word. In no other way can a mature
person more quickly (and surely not
so agreeably) acquire SO correct a
use of language, together with right
notions of propriety in conduct, as
from attendance at the performance
of a truly good play.

HER OWN MONEY BUYS
LAUGHTER AT SHUBERT'S

Mr.. Wilson was especially well liked
in his work in the second act, where
he has a true-to-nature quarrel with
his nagging wife, Clara Beecher,
played by Miss Mabel Carruthers.
The replica of this quarrel is seen IN
many homes daily. Even the best OF
families suffer from them on frequent
occasions, SO that the merry verbal
spat between Mr.. Wilson and Miss
Carruthers last night seemed to hit
home in many cases, and It went
well with the audience.
Equally good work was that of Miss
Helen Lee, as Mildred Carr. the young
sister of Mrs. Alden, aid Phillips
Tead, as Thomas HazletoTs, the friend
of Alden, who, of course, was in love
with Mildred. Their trouble In settling
the question of whether they should
be married or not made s. distinct hit
and the pa = worked th4ir way right
into the hearts Of the audience from
the start.
A splendid piece of character work

"HER Own Money" a three-aet
Al comedy by Mark Swan, in which
Miss Julia Dean is being starred at
the Shubert Theatre this week, can
hardly be called a rat aid to Master
Cupid, as 1t portrays one OF the sides
Of married life in most too vivid a
manner to do real service for the
little God of Love.
But lust the same 1t is one of the
most delightful comedies that have
come 20 Newark this winter and,
moreover, while 1t is comedy of the
pure and sparkling sort, 1t gives you
something to think about, especially
IL you are married or are contemplat-
Ing the trip of the matrimonial seas.
The story hinges on $1,000 that a
wife has saved unknown to her hus-
band out of her expense allowance,
Just after their marriage he had bor-
rowed $500 of her savings and had
never repaid the loan and for that
reason she keeps her $4,000 bank &C
count a secret. But there comes q
time when the husband needs that
precise amount to swing big busl-
ness deal. The wife cannot let her
husband know she has the money, 30
she evolves the plan of giving It to
-
loan 1t to the husband.
This plan works all right until the
extravagant and nagginR Wife OF the
friend discovers him repaying the
money to Its rlsntful owner and then
trouble galore starts. It would no.
be fair to tell you how 1t is all I'M

''CHATTERBOX, AT
PROCTOR'S, THE HIT

Few high spots can be found in the
Proctor vaudeville plain this week.
Julius Tanner, our chatterbox friend,
loomed great amid his footlight
brethren Also a playlet offered by
Forest Robinson and company es-
capped being classified with the
mediocre. All in all, the bill was not
up to the customary high standard
of Proctor's.
Tanner, although he has been here
a good many times, is better than
| he ever was. His gags are the
| foundation for one good twenty
minute laugh--at least it sounds like
one laugh, because there are no
pauses--it just ripples along.
The Robinson sketch is laid around

Yankee captain in love with his
| daughter-Captured to be
shot-Lee surrenders-War is over
Everybody TO home and happy-it is
the same old plot. but credit must
| be given to the capable manner in
| which the company played IL last
night.
"The Two Roses accomplished
| young women, in violin, bass Yiol and
plano selections, gave the 'ragtime"
craze look of disdain in their act
and as a result were very unpopu-
lar with the men higher up" The
applause from the other parts of the

! ragtime did the young women play
and, despite the tactics of the few
shoulder swingers' up above, their
| encore performance was of the same
I truly delightful trend as their
previous efforts.
Stella Tracey was not the hit she
was expected to be She has not

not attempt to again sing that

last night. No one laughed, not q
hand clapped when she attempted it
and the frigid atmosphere was de-
served The real merit which Miss
| Tracey unquestionably possesses
made this the more regrettable.
