MOLLIE WILLIAMS COMPANY
RETURNS TO MINERS

The opening of the season of 1914
brings the return of that magnetic
star, Miss Mollie Williams, to Miners
Empire Theatre. Her first season was
one of the most gratifying successes
ever seen in burlesque annals, and
now the public can look forward to
pleasant entertaining evening when
visiting the performance as rendered
by Miss Williams and her company
Of players. The cast of last season
was so highly satisfactory that they
were re-engaged, with one exception,
for this season.
The comedy portion of the show lis
entrusted to such capable people as
Harry Sheppell, Joseph Mills and Cliff
NORMAN; the singing of the show en-
braces such female talent as Belle
Dixon, Mae Meek, Madge Darrell and
some twenty-four girls. The chorus
is noted for the fact that each and
every one is capable of delivering a
solo, and each performance shows
this; some sing q solo at the matinee,
while others do likewise at the night
performance. One interested in an
evening of music and comedy should
not miss the coming of Miss Williams.
There will be daily matinees, to which
the ladies are specially invited
For the week of January the
Rosey Posey Girls will be the attrac-
ton at Miners Empire Theatre.

NEW YORK SUCCESS TO
PLAY SHUBERT THEATRE

Coming to the Shubert Theatre next
week is THE Family Cupboard" pre-
sented by William A. Brady and d.
rect from that producers playhouse
in New York city, where the drama
has enjoyed distinct popularity for
the past seven months. The play
holds the seasons record for serious
drama in Manhattan, and has caused
more favorable comment than any
play of the year.
THE Family Cupboard" is by owen
Davis. who achieved his biggest sue
cess with this play. No playwright in
the century has written as many
plays as Mr.. Davis has, and his craft
manship shows in this excellent piece
of work. The play takes up serious
problem of the day, the danger that
turks near every family whose men,
bers lose interest in each other and
forget the family ties. The Nelson
family portrayed in the play is sup
posed to be typical of thousands of
families in every city. And so their
problem is a common one and their
experiences may befall anyone living
in this age of complex things.
The theme is that a house divided
against itself cannot stand. Mrs.
Nelson in this case has found her
social duties more imperative than
her home duties. Mr.. Nelson has re-
scented being left to himself for so
many years and asks If he has ever
been anything to the family more
than the provider of means for his
wife's and children's good times. He
challenges his wife with her neglect
and the daughter. Alice, allies herself
with the father insisting that in his
present position the father does not
get This share" This is a peculiar
phrase to the mother who asks IL
the husband did not expect to sup
port her when he married her: she
seems unconscious of anything she
owes her husband until 1t is too late.
The working out of the affairs of the
Nelson's furnishes many tense scenes
with big moments. And what is not
often found in serious drama, there
is an abundance of hearty comedy, in
fact few farces have as much real
mirth in them as is contained in 1.-THE
Family Cupboard"
The cast that will present the piece
here is the same excellent one that
presented the play In it's last weeks at
the Playhouse, comprising William
Morris, Olive Harper Thorne, Frank
lyn Ardell, Irene Romano, John
Cromwell, Ruth Benson, Felice Nor
ris, Frank Hatch, Alice Lindahl. John
Bowers, Louise Aichel and Harry
Redding. THE Family Cupboard"
will play a special matinee New
Years Day as well as the regular
matinees Wednesday and Saturday.

MOLlNEUX'S NEW PLAY
COMING TO NEWARK

The management of the Newark
Theatre has made a ten-strike by
obtaining for production during the
week beginning Monday. January 5,
"The Man inside" Roland b. Molin-
euxs new play which is described as
a drama of crime" David Belasco
has given the play an elaborate pro-
duction and 1t has been q big success
at the Criterion Theatre, New York,
where 1t has been on view for q num-
Der of weeks.
Roland b. Molineux Is well quail
fled to write of the inside situation Of
police and criminal circles, as he him
self, a number of years ago, was ac-
cused of a murder, tried, convicted
and sentenced to death, only to be set
free on a second trial. He knows the
inside life of the death house at Sing
Sing as well as all the operations of
the courts.

MlNSTRELSY REVIVAL
is NEWARK ATTRACTION

That i1linstrelsy still holds q. warm
spot In the hearts of theatre goerS
is best attested TO by the success that
has attended the revival of Twentieth
Century minstrelsy as presented by
those veterans of the burnt cork,
Primrose and Dockstader and their
all-prominent aggregation of singers,
dancers, comedians and instrument
talists This company will be the at
traction at the Newark Theatre next
week, giving a special matinee New
Years. After separation which had
extended over a period of ten years,
these knights of the burnt cork de-
cided to amalgamate their respective
companies and to present a revival
of twentieth century minstrelsy This
reunion and revival took place last
year.
In their revival of twentieth cen
tury minstrelsy, Messrs. Primrose
and Dockstader have adhered to all
of the old traditions, although the
plain wooden benches and simple
bones and tambos have given way to
sumptuous costumes and large or
chestra. Scenic artists have pro-
duced settings that many a musical
comedy might envy. But the spirit
of the minstrelsy is sent across the
footlights by these men who know
how to play the blackface game.
There are none too many who can do
this-Primrose and Dockstader are
among the few remaining. The sup
porting company is large and dis
tinguished one, and numbers among
its members artists who are known
throughout the length and breadth of
the land as men who have won their
spurs in this particular branch of the
theatrical profession.
Prominent among them being the
Six Musical Brown Brothers, who are
conceded to be the premier musical
act on the American stage; Raymond
Wylie, the phenomenal male soprano,
Mr.. WyIie sings the soprano roles
from all of the grand operas and
reaches the highest notes with the
greatest ease and facility. The -Four
Meteors is the rather luminous title
of an especially brilliant coterie OF
vocalists who are creating something
of a Juror Foley and Murphy tpro-
teges of George Primrose) are con-
coded to be the most graceful dancers
on the American stage. Another
name that Messrs. Primrose and
Dockstader have added to their roster
is that of the distinguished comedian,
Happy Jack" Lambers. Messrs.
Primrose and Dockstader appear at
every performance in the acts that
they have made famous from ocean
to ocean. The tour is under the per-
sonal direction of Earl Burgess

into proposal by her wiles and CO.
quetry. She consents to the plan, but
in carrying 1t out she falls deeply in
love with him, and instead of entrap-
ping him, she determines to help him
and save his fortune. Her struggle be-
tween love and duty is full of the
most amusing complications, many of
which are supplied by jealous and
blood-thirsty Italian count, who is in
love with Alma.
In next weeks production Miss
Brownell, who showed her musical
comedy ability to such good advan-
tage in Madam Sherry" will play
the part of Alma, and to her will fall
the rapturous alma" waltz. Mr..
Stork will be seen as the innocent
Pierre Miss Mabel Estelle, Joseph
Sweeney, Edward Van Sloan, Joseph
Girard. James Carey and all the other
members of the company will also
have important roles.

"WITHlN THE LAW" TO
SHOW AT SHUBERT

1t is rare enough thing nowadays
to find a play which has received
the UNIVERSAL endorsement of dramatic
critics everywhere. 1t Is unprece-
dented to hear Of play that has
received not only the endorsement Of
the men whose business it is to con-
slider a play from a technical view
point, but from the prominent lay
men, who Judge a play only by the
personal appeal which 1t makes to
them. 1t is, therefore. of increased
interest to learn that we are soon to
see ''Within the Law" play by Bay
ard WELLER, which has been--com-

history, and the bill for the ensuing
week is only the forerunner of fifty
two wonderful bills that are to come.
To select the healthier from the
New Years program will be found
somewhat embarrassing. There Is
Belle Baker, Americas foremost char
acter singer, an ever welcome favor
lite, who has won the plaudits of mil
lions, a veritable cyclone of fun,
laughter and melody. Her smile Is as
infectious as her songs are ingratiat-
ing; mighty host in herself when it
comes to radiating sunshine and
smiles. She tops the bill wherever
she appears and always sends away
her audience cheerful and happy.
Then there are Du Pont and Nudge,
renowned here and abroad as the most
artistic opponents of tango and Wen
nese waltzes: Mr.. Du Pont spent four
years in Europe, appearing at the
Follies Bergere in Paris, and at the
Alhambra and Olympic Music halls in
London, and Miss Nudge is a former
member of the London Opera Com
pany and was prima donna in the
London production Of the Honey
moon Express. They will be seen in
the newest society ballroom dances.
"a Day on the Nile" is the alluring
title of a musical fantasy which has
Egypt for a background and which
is new entirely not only In it's scenic
vesture, but In music and comedy. 1t
will be presented for the first time
in this city by company of instru-
mentalists and vocal stars, including
Genevieve Warner, the country's fore
most harp virtuosos; Louis Quin-
tarde, of the Aborn Opera Company;
Walter Perschall, only recently with
Madame Schumann- Heink's company;
Karla Konstance, noted French vio-
liniste and other equally well-known
musical artists.
A surprise comedy sketch in which
new fields of humor are explored will
be provided by Madden and Fitzpat-
rick, a vaudeville team as funny and
original as ever came to Newark
To enter into an extended review
of all the other good numbers on the
coming holiday bill would be depriv-
ing the audiences of many pleasant
surprises, so mention only will be
made of some of the acts which will
be seen next week. Knapp and Corel-
la, singers, comedians, dancers and
acrobats; Rose King; Joseph Crehan'l
and Company in powerful dramatic
sketch of society life entitled 1.-THE
Cheat" Dan Maley and Mildred
Woods, fresh from musical comedy
with a budget of new songs and
stories; Cain and Newcomb, in mile
a-minute railroad farce, Train
Troubles Norman, the famous
frog" man in a startling scenic nov
city; Harrison West Trio, in a whirl-
wind of comedy and clever dancing;
the Revolving Collins a marvel on
skates who defies the laws of gravita-
ton, and a new series of extremely
funny motion pictures.
