SMALLEST ACTOR ON
THE STAGE TODAY

Make-believe people Of a new sort
have been brought to the stage and will
be revealed, not only to the children who
may have remembered the ideas OF the
story-book, but to grown-up children who
may realize its thoroughness of charac-
terization. Eight funny little dwarfs will
be seen in Snow White and the Seven
Dwarfs" at the Belasco Theater all Of
this week. THAT Is to say, seven Of them
will be seen and the eighth, who will
probably be seen during the week, Is. Lit
tie Jerry, the smallest actor upon the
stage today. Little Jerry is forty-one
inches in height, and was selected by
Mr.. Ames as a general understudy. That
is to say, Jerry has as his task a MEM
orization of every spoken word Of the
Seven Dwarfs, which means that he
must be in attendance not only at every
rehearsal of this peculiar work, but at
every performance. and be ready at a
moments notice to don the beard and
wierd clothing of the sprites of the noun
tain.
Jerry is lively little man, whom the
children will readily recognize upon the
streets of Washington. He passed his
thirty-fifth birthday before he was en-
gagged by Mr.. Ames for the general un-
derstudys work in Snow WHITE

WHY DISRAELI ISA
GREAT CHARACTER
By GEORGE ARLIss.

There are many reasons, It seems tc
me, why Disraeli may be considered one
of the greatest characters for the stage
and many points in his political career
were gained more by acting, or 'bluff, q
as they say nowadays. than anything
else. Characters with q distinctive per
sonal appearance are good for the stage
and Disraeli was certainly unusual in
this respect His physical pecullarities
were more broadly caricatured than any
other statesman. He always dressed In
a manner which was almost theatrical
in its spectacular effects. When he was
young he perfumed and arranged his
hair in glossy black ringlets, wore rings
on his fingers over white gloves, and
gllttering waistcoats that made him con.
spicuous among London's most arrant
dandies. He often looked like a freak
and talked like an oracle.
A man possessing the wonderful per.
sonality OF the Earl of Beaconsfield pre-.
sents a most interesting field for stage
Characterization. 1t will be remembered
that from the force OF his personality
and his indomitable courage and will he
rose from an unknown author to Prime
Minister and the personal friend of the
Queen. At that time for Jew to fix
even Parliament for his goal, to say
nothing of the Premiership. was consid-
cred preposterous. So strong was racial
prejudice that Disraeh was up for Par.
lament four times before he was elected.
There is one reason why some may not
consider him a great stage character.
His domestic life was ideally simple and
pure. It has been said that a successful
play cannot be founded upon happy do
mestic conditions. "Disraeli'' must then
be an exception.

WILL BIG TINE AND
SMALL TIME WAR EEDi

Broadway was made to sit up and lis
ten last week by report that negotia-
tions were under way to end the war be-
tween Big Time and Small Time vaude-
Vile, and the peacemakers were busy
trying to bring Marcus Loew and Ed
ward F. Albee together on some sort of
give-and-take basis that would make
possible general amalgamation Of all
vaudeville interests.
The great argument brought to bear
upon both Mr.. Albee, representing the
Keith interests, arS Mr.. Loew, Is the
necessity of protecting the vaudeville
business from any more competition Of
any kind.
