EMMETT AND GIRL
At KEENEY'SA HIT

Have you seen J. X. Emmett ana
his little girl at keeney's2 Mr. En-
NETT needs no introduction I'll only
say about. him that he sings his ia
nous SCHNEIDER and lullaby songs
as well as ever, if not better. But the
little girl. of course is not so well
known. and il may not be uninterest-
ing to have me tell YOU something
about her
Well. first of all. she looks like
eight or nine. but in reality is nearly
twenty. She is the prettiest Liliputian
! imaginable and is absolutely free from
any of the physical deformities or
defects which usually mar the SYM
metry of form of the extremely tiny
grown-ups. Her name - Lillian
F'uehrer.
Before / found Miss Lillian, said
Mr. Emmett in his dfessing-room at
Keeney's yesterday, 1.-The part taken
by her was enacted by girl of eight.
You have no idea what trouble used
to be put to in New York to get per-
nit to have her appear. Unless l
made an application forty-eight hours
before the show, the Gerry Society
would veto our performance, and
often they would veto it anyway.
while Mayor Gaynor was at the
helm it was possible to overcome the
opposition of this arrogant and not
altogether truly altruistic society; but
since Mayor Mitchell has come in the
society has grown all powerful and has
it's own way at all times. Mayor Gay
nor was broad-minded and open to
persuasion, but the present mayor
seems to be a bit timid about antag-
onizing the powerful Gerry interests.
And Superintendent Walsh. who is the
ear of the concern, applies the sell
same measure to all cases, never eX-
ercising any Judgment or discrimlna-
ton. He is like the NEUROLOGICAL per-
sonage, Procrustes, who used to ut
everybody to the same bed, cutting off
the legs of those who We're too long
and stretching those who were too
short for the bed
1.-THE little girl received a salary OF
$40 week from me. and, it goes
without saving, that this was god
send to her parents. And her work on
the stage, as you yourself can judge
from Lillian's performance, was really
play for her. But the trouble the
Gerry Society gave me every time
visited New York decided me to look
around for one whom its despouc
power could not reach Miss Lillian
has solved the problem.

than her predecessor recelVed-Whlch

ference is more than repaid by the

ODEON

The Odeon at Springfield avenue,
near South Orange avenue, will ipau-
gurate its entrance into the burlesque
field with Snitz Moore and George b.
Scanlon's. THE Winners" next Mon
day matinee.
II is a dashing two-act musical friv-
olity lacking none of the essentials
of first-class burlesque show, in the
new sense of the term.
The story of the farce is carried
outSin the fashionable colony at New
port and the complications are nu-
melpus. The chorus program lis q.
combination of love, moonlight and
summer gayety, which is soothing to
the eye as well as the ear.
The two characters of the quaint
Irish and German style are sure to
be enjoyed by all, while the beguiling
talk of the straight man, Harvey
Greene, is bound to keep one in an
.uproar
The part of the leading woman is
entrusted to Miss Alva McGill. the
Partisan nightingale. Miss McGill will
display some remarkable creations
of the foreign and domestic modistes.
Other women of the cast who stand
out prominently are Martha Mar

Beatrice La Due, Heloise Horton,
Florence Fletcher and Edna Lee.
Among the men are found Shaw and
Lee, singers and dancers de luxe,
who hold a high place in vaudeville
and burlesque.
The choruses, which were not ar
ranged without consideration for
voices, are not only attractive, as this
invaluable asset to musical comedy
must be, but are true to standard
of burlesque that is well worth the
while, The show carries, in addition

When Snow Is Called
Marguerite 1t Charms
in Summer and Winter

Snow is usually considered quite
the thing in winter. We love 1t LOT
it's purity, its lightness and ever
inspiring soft downiness which beau
titles everything it so lightly touches.
But in these summer days we are
inclined to put snow, and all things
wintry, far, far behind us. and we
turn our thoughts toward the warmth
of the season. In other words, the
snow has lost it's popularity, at least
for the present
But there is one little Snow-not
much bigger than a flake, just as
gentle, inspiring and beautiful-that'
despite the warmth of the season, has
not lost her popularity. And we cal
it Marguerite, for this bit of Snow
has a name. We love it, and every
time we see it we seem to be Snow
bound with its wonderful personality.
which covers US like warm blanket

sons, it is just as welcome in June as
1t was in December.
And this little Snow (Marguerite)
is about to enshroud us in another
great production, entitled THE MIL
lion Dollar Mystery which is certain
to receive. a welcome, in great con-
trast to frost when it appears be-
fore the public. In fact it promises
to. be q blizzard, A blizzard of de-
light.

this great film piece by Harold Mac
Grath, and this fact alone predicts
the success of the piece. For some
time before she entered filmdom tins
little Snow girl succeeded in warming
the hearts of audiences which are IN
clined to freeze. and she played the
title role in THE College Widow,
under the direction of Henry w
Savage; in fact. it is whispered she
is the only brunette that ever played
that part.
In Washington she played leading
roles in stock company at the Be
lasco Theatre. appearing in such
plays as Peter Pam "The Chris
tian'' and 'Old Heidelberg" She also
scored a decided hit in Mrs. Tenn

Her introduction into motion pic
lures was quite like the average star,
for 1t was, in a sense, an accident.
But it. was very lucky accident, at
least for the Thanhouser Company.
For, it's been showing up there the
year round ever since And every
body is satisfied. so what's the diff
ference whether we have snow Ia
