STARS GLITTER
At PROCTOR'S

The stars in the heavens shene
steadily and brilliantly last night.
What could be more fitting and
proper than similar display at
Proctors. The program there fairly
sparkled with luminous bodies from
the vaudeville world, and, like the
canopy of the sky outside, had not
the shadow of cloud to mar it.
No telescope was needed to discern
that Claude Gillingwater, in one
act dramatic play, was the reigning
planet. The title of the playlet, THE
Rich Mans Wife" would readily
show that the plot is very old one.
but Mr.. Gillingwater has added a
new twist to it and made it appear
brighter than ever.
Mr.. Gillingwater, Miss Edith Lyle
and Frederick Forester are excellent
actors, and they make the sketch the
biggest hit of the season here. Too
much praise cannot be given Mr.. Gll-
lingwater for his capable perform
ance. The plot Is woven around the
neglected wife of a rich man. Ihen
the artist who wants her to elope
comes along and the rich man Kills
him This is only half the photo
give the other half would spoil the
pleasure of an evening.
In these days ii seems TO be
i'rawthern the thing to have bally
Englishman on every program. rms

is no exception. We have Josie
Heather, an English comedienne,
singing her own songs, and Robert

COLD HALTS PLAY
OF NINE. KAL|CH

A severe cold that prevented Nine.
Bertha Kalich, the distinguished Jew
ish actress, from speaking above a
whisper was responsible for the Shu-
bert Theatre being kept closed last
night, the opening performance of
Rachel" the new starring vehicle of
Nine. Kalich, being postponed until
Wednesday night.
Late yesterday afternoon Manager
Lee Ottolengui. of the Shubert. re-
ceived a telephone communication
from Nine. Kalich's manager inform
ing him that while the great Jewish
actress was not confined to her home
her throat was in such condition that
for her to attempt to use it before
Wednesday night would probably re-
suit in the necessity of cancelling her
engagements for several weeks to
come.
AS she is billed to open long en-
gagement at the Knickerbocl1er Thea
tire, New York city, on next Monday
night it was decided not to take any
chances, and her opening at the Shu-
bert was then postponed until
Wednesday. Performances will be
given both afternoon and evening on
Thanksgiving Day, Friday night and
again in both afternoon and evening
on Saturday.

Out in the desert lie heard its cry.

But all through the mountains, thun-

Nothing more appealing or stronger
for Thanksgiving week than THE
Ninety and Nine d melodrama in

hymn, There Were Ninety and

the Brownell-Stork Company.
When the curtain fell on the last act
of the play the theatre was hushed
for fully minute, and then resounded
with tremendous applause calling the
members of the cast before the cur
tain repeatedly,
AS Ira Sankey's hymn tells of the
finding Of the lost sheep the play tells
of the retaining OF a man.
Although adapted from a hymn, the
play is not one dealing with religion,
but with a story that probably has its
recurrence every day of the year,

tht throttle to save the inhabitants
of NARROW from death in the flames,
was intensely realistic; and, as the
last scene of the act showed the fire
bound inhabitants gathered about the
scoIched engine, the tears and cheers
of the audience were intermingled
with those of players.
The story of the play is laid in a
rural town of Indiana called MARROW

Dorothy Webb, a little girl of the

THE Doll Grip with dainty charm.
Miss Webb has clear voice, not very

| Miss Hattie williams was effec-
lively cast as Rosallla, a Spanish

! more plentiful temper, whose dagger
was ever handy and whose heels

lin Illustration of wrath or pleasure.
Miss Williams is a gifted Coincidence,
and 1t is a pity that her present vehi-
Gle does not give her more scope.
There was one bit, however, in which
she shone 1t was in the movie" bur-
lesque, when she, with earle and Will

FREEDOM RUNS
RIOT AT MINERS

You know a burlesque show can be
enjoyed by the audience If the lines
are clean and snappy, but although a
few will laugh when trough stuff Is
pulled" the majority of the audience
do not feel at ease when this hap
pens. For the first time this season
the show at Miners Theatre is just
bit over the ''limit" mark. few of
the characters in the "Roseland Girls
are somewhat free" with their lines.
The greatest offender in this is Miss
Lillian Fitzgerald Miss Fitzgerald
is, indeed, a clever little coincidence,
but several times her songs and say
ings were of decidedly warm hue.
But at all times her appearance was
most pleasing, even If some OF her
songs and lines were not.
James Il. (Blutch) Cooper and Tom
McRea are given as the authors of
the show, and either they had eX-
hausted their stock of real comedy
and substituted instead blue" talk
of the English music hall type or
some of the characters in the show
have taken liberties with the ma
terial furnished them.
A rather clever plot is entwlned IN
the two-act skit, Society a la Carte.
that concerns the supposed murder or
a bartender by a wealthy German
manufacturer and his subsequent en-
deavors to escape arrest that finally
land him in an asylum, where he is
mistaken for the new professor.
The characters of a Jewish detec-
tive, CON man and his wife, who
is addicted to words of seven syllableS
regardless of their meaning, and two
lovers who, to further the plot, act
as music teacher and French maid,
give ample scope for clever comedy
of the better class. Solly Ward also
at times overstepped the line, but he,
too, made good with classy bits that
showed he did not rely on blue" stuff
to bring laughs. Ward and Eddle
Swartz were constantly on the jump
and their endeavors were ably second
ed by Harry D'Maclk and Walter
Pearson.
Nina Schall and Jeanette Spellman
proved themselves tuneful songsters
and wore strilxingly handsome gowns.
They led several of the numbers which
introduced the large chorus of girls
in various costumes.

at the piano, Miss Grace Janis play
ing a violin and Miss Helen Janis
singing, and the harmony is pleasing
The girls were given fine reception.
A bevy of pretty girls took part in
a sketch entitled "Bellboys and
Girls The lobby of a fashionable
hotel provided the scene for the ac-
ton of the piece. The girls danced
well and sang popular songs with a
snap that found favor with the au-
dience.
O. c. Falls, a clever tramp juggIer
and hatman, was very entertaining.
His line of tricks reminds one of
Nat Wills, one of the cleverest tramp
comedians on the vaudeville stage.
A dancing and singing speciality dis
plays Thomas and Wright with
credit Rogers and King are good
in a rapid-fire conversation act.
The bill changes on Thanksgiving
Day. On that day four performances
will be given. two in the afternoon
and two in the evening. Passeri's
band. consisting OF fifteen veteran
accomplished musicians, will be the
headliner.

CURTAIN CALLS

He has abundant faith In the future
of Newark and declares that he
wants his local enterprise to grow
more than commensurately with
the growth of the town.
Manager Lee Ottolengui laughs at
the reports that are in circulation
that the Shubert Theatre is to be
turned over permanently to- produce
tons given by stock companies, the
story emanating from the fact that
the Corse Payton Stock Company
which loses its fine new home in the
new Payton Theatre next Saturday
night, is to find a temporary home
at the Shubert- Theatre.
The week of December will bring
THE Lure" direct from It's successful
run in New York.
Mr.. Ottolengul explains that the
stock company was given O. couple of
weeks time at the Shubert Theatre
simply TO enable that theatre to bridge
over couple of weeks open time
that came through the fact that the
New York booking agencies had no
productions idle just at this time of
sufficient class to warrant them being
offered to the Shubert patrons.
The trouble this season Is that
there are too many successes playing
the New York theatres" said Mr..
Ottolengui today. I'm former years
the productions that opened the New
York theatres In August have been
placed on the road by this time, their
places in the New York houses being
taken by new shows. This year the
New York crop of Successes is so
great that none of the companies Is
going on the road, and therefore 1t is
hard to get the class of productions
that usually come direct from New
York to Newark.
ut is fact that right now in New
York there are q number of new pro-
auctions that cannot be brought out.
simply for the fact that no theatre
can be obtained for them. While 1t
leaves Newark and cities similarly
situated with dearth of good attrac-
tons for q couple of weeks right at
the present time, 1t argues well for
the future. as the list OF attractions
then will be particularly high class"
To demonstrate this last statement
Mr.. Ottolengui gave out a list of at
fractions which have already been
booked for the Shubert Theatre and
which will appear there in the near
future, all of which are big New
York successes. In the list are 1.-THE
Great Adventure" which opened the
new Booth theatre, in New York, some
months ago and is still running

Next week 1.-THE Old Homestead
1t is an old play. 1t Is still youth
full when compared to the services
given to the stage by one of Its I'M
portant characters. Charles h Diark

seventy-sir years, is as gay as boy
and nearly as lively He was born
In Lowell, February, 8, 1887.
A professional career that dates
back to 1860 must have interesting
spots in 1t, and Mr.. Clark confesses
that he has had his share of excite
ment as an actor. He should be re-
membered by some of the older play
goers of the city, for in the early
seventies he was a member OF the

through, and with Hud Bryson
throwing pals of water over him

The final act brings happiness to
all with the vindication of Silverton,
now known as Bradbury, of the muir

of theft and the promise of the hand
of the woman who had saved him.

were seen the audience would never
realize it was negro supposed to
