LYRIC

THE Boy Next Door" as presented
by George Felix and the Barry Girls,
is the topline act at the Lyric the
first three days of this week. This
trio, one of vaudeville's most popular,
walked away with the honors of the
bill.
Sam Herne and Helen Ely are in a
class by themselves as far as teams
seen at the Lyric are concerned. Mr..
Herne, a comedian of repute shines
above the majority of entertainers
in vaudeville, while his partner is
dainty and charming Coincidence
herself. Herne and Ely are another
pronounced feature of the bill.
Dick McGinness Thompson and his
company of real Irish players have
a pleasant little Renaissance of the
"old sod" called Erin Go Bragh."
Scenically enhanced and brimful of
quaint Celtic humor and songs that
touch hearts, Erin Go Bragh" ranks
high. Carl Statzer and Company, in
a laugh provoking burlesque comedy
called 1.-The Coon Detective; Mills
and Mouton, in a bright bit of comedy
entitled "Just OFF,; Markee Brothers,
in clever musical act; Nina Payne,
a dancer who is graceful and viva
cious; and Baroff and Gilbert, in a
comedy acrobatic novelty, are among
other good acts on the bill.

"THE ARGYLE CASE" THRILLS
AT THE ORPHEUM THEATRE

feiters in his work on the case. the
topmost honors in the cast of char
acters must be awarded to Edward
Van Sloan. AS the chief of the coun-
terfeiters his work is remarkable
almost uncanny-and gives evidence
of the high histrionic gifts of this
actor, whose versatility has made
him so popular with the patrons of
the Orpheum Theatre.
To discuss the plot would be TO
disclose the play itself and rob those
who may intend to see it of most Of
the pleasure afforded in any detective
play or mystery-that of forming
your own conclusions before the mys-
terry is finally solved. Suffice 1t to
say that the play is worth seeing,
and is not so thrilling, gruelling or
gruesome as to become nerve-racking.
1t gives a wonderful illustration of
the marvellous dictagraph and the re-
markable assistance science has
given to justice through the invention
and perfection of this instrument.
The operation of this instrument
alone is worth seeing.
Deserving of special mention in the
cast this week, besides those men
toned, are: Arthur Jarrett, pro-
moter, who poses as Argyle's attor-
ney, and to whom the murder ia
finally traced, just at the moment
when he thinks himself free.
Miss Helen Courtney scores again
in the role of Mrs. Martin, although
she is not on often enough to suit
many of her admirers. The loqua-
cious Mrs. Wyatt is in the most ca
pable hands of Miss Henrietta
Vaders.
Miss ottola Nesmith is winsome
and captivating as ever in the role
of Argyle's adopted daughter, whom
Kayton clears of suspicion, uses as
the bait" and ultimately marries
Grant Erwin, as the somewhat tow
headed assistant TO Kayton, does full
Justice to the part
Edwin Forsberg, the manager, him
self, as the government expert, and
Carl Blythe, as Finley, the servant.
and, in fact, the entire company, de-
serve unusual commentator for
their performance of the various roles
entrusted to them.

bike" CHAMPIONS
DRAW TO KEENEY'S

Keeney's is the mecca toward which
unusual crowds, even for this usually
crowded theatre, are streaming these
days.
The 1.-TWO Alfs," or, to speak more
plainly for the uninitiated, Alfred
Goullet and Alfred Grenda, winners
of the recent six-day race at Madison
Square Garden, New York, are ap-
pearing as the headliners on the bill
at Keeneys Theatre the first three
days of the week.
The two well-known bike" riders
are featured in a bicycling act in
which they demonstrate their abil-
tiles on the home trainer" a sort
of treadmill arrangement. They race
against time and each gives an ex-
hibition of speed and then conclude
the act by meeting in a ten-mile
match race.
Goullet and Grenda come to
Keeney's direct from Hammerstein's,
in New York, where they drew large
crowds, especially of the bike fans.
Another feature of their act is that
Joe Fogler is acting as starter.
There are also other good acts on
the bill. Chick" Bell is a tramp
comedian and causes no end of
laughter by his witty remarks. Mont
and Montmorence appear in a dane
ing speciality in which Miss Mont
morence's toe dancing is feature.
The Criterion Trio are heard in
selected song numbers. Belle and
Wilson. offer a pleasing talkfest of
good quality. O'Neill and Dixon are
two young men who can sing pleas
ingly and who also dance well.
Jimmy Rosen and company stage a
comedy sketch.

Curtain Calls

AS the result Of the announcement
that Grace George would appear here
at the Shubert Theatre next week, in
Clyde Fitch's comedy. 1.-THE Truth, 3"
interest in that late playwright has
been revived in Newark and many
"reminiscences of his brilliant. career
are being related. One time ad-
mirer Of Mr.. Fitch declared that the
secret of that authors thorough sue
cess was his strong penchant for
listening to advice from anyone whose
idea seemed to be a good one. HE
respected the counsel Of janitor as
well as that OF a statesman" this ad-
mirer says "ae was always willing
10 give any idea Of anyone a trial
without trusting absolutely to his
own Judgment as to the advisability
of any suggestion. His motto seemed
to be TO let the people decide"

ODEON

A real ''girlie" show is THE Folly
Burlesquers," playing at the Odeon
Theatre this week. To pick out an
individual and say he or she is better
than another would be doing an in
justice to a company of well selected
talent that entertains excellently for
two and one-half hours. The two
burlettas which are given are good all
the way drought and the special
feature with La Belle Helene in THE
Dance of the Devils Bride" is a real
classic finale.
One feature that deserves special
mention is the good chorus. The
twenty eight girls that were chosen
for this burlesque company are not
only pretty, but adapt themselves we'll
to every dance number that they offer
and are also good singers. The gowns
Of the young women are attractive
and pretty.
The bulk of the work of enter
tanning falls to Lew Golden. He is a
character comedian of no mean ability
and works hard to get across his
up-to-date comedy. He is assisted
by John o. Grant and he, too, does
all that can be expected in the char
acter line. Among the women Hazel
Grant, Belle Marcel, Dolores Ray,
and, above all, La Belle Helene, do
the best work.
When Cohen Bought September
Morn" is full of comedy. During this
number Miss Dolores Ray makes a
captivating September Morn. The
other burletta, Lord Algy," serves as
a vehicle in giving all the members of
the company an opportunity of show
ing what they can do in the singing
and dancing line.
1.-The Dance of the DEVILS Bride"
an act that shows the terpsichorean
ability of La Belle Helene, Is well
received. Special scenery is used for
this number and the electrical effects
are good. Miss Helene dances in her
bare feet and shows that she has had
considerable training.

BY ADELINE CARRIcK WELLS.


With Catherine Tower In the role Of
Mary Turner in within the Law"
that spirited play by Bayard WELLER
returned to Newark last night for a
weeks stay at the Shubert Theatre.
Miss Tower played with a full deter
mination to make her performance
tell. Her performance would have
been better had not this determination
been so evident. There was no for
getting at any time, even in her big
IIoments, that Mary Turner's inter
prefer was acting.
Miss Towers best work came in the
fourth act, in the police station scene.
Here she cast aside her gestures and
played with a simple directness that
was most pleasing.
That delightful little waif and stray,
Aggie she of the unlimited slang and
the inimitable nonchalance, was
played with zest by Catherine DAILY.
There was doubt is to which was fun
nier, Aggie being a lady or Aggie
being herself William Lambert was
a likable Joe Carson, giving the char
acter a pathetic dignity, always over
Swallowed by furtiveness that might
come from living on the boundary line
between the world and the under
world. In the last act Garson's admis-
sion of the murder mingled impress
sively oladness at having disposed of
a stool pigeon, anxiety for Mary and
a queer sort of pride in having been
the first to kill a man with a revol-
yer which held a Maxim silencer.
At this late day the plot of within
the Law" needs little outlining.
Mary Turner, who worked in the de-
partment store of Richard Glider,
was wrongly accused of theft and
sent up the river" for three years,
vowing vengeance upon the world
in general and Richard Glider in
particular.

1.-The Argyle Case,'' a thrilling muir
der mystery play, with the usual
wheels within wheels and plots
within plots, in which the criminals
are successfully ferreted out and
brought to justice by an excellent ex-
hibitlon of detective work, Is given
at the Orpheum Theatre this week by
the Forsberg Players
THE Argyle Case" was not built
to teach any great moral lesson,
unless in the case of Mrs. Martin, the
counterfeiters wife, who suffers ter
rible retribution when in the last act
her husband, the c,ever counterfeiter,
Is compelled to commit suicide when
caught in the trap laid by Asche
Kayton with the aid of Mrs. Martin
own daughter, whom she deserted
twenty years before.
The play opens a week after the
murder of Argyle, a millionaire. All
other detectives and the police have
failed utterly to obtain any clue save
those to which the misleading bits OF
circumstantial evidence pointed at.
When Kayton, ably played by
Charles Dingle, is called into the
case, suspicion is centred on Mary
Masuret, an adopted daughter of
Argyle, who would have been sole
heir to his fortune. The whole house,
hold is firmly convinced of Miss
Masuret's innocence, and their efforts
to conceal and cloak her actions on
that evening add to the detectives
troubles in getting at the right thread
in his efforts to unravel the tangled
skein
''The Argyle Case" is a cracking
good detective story, and the Fors-
berg Players get the best of every
line in the four acts.
When Harriet Ford and Harvey
O'Higgins wrote the play under the
supervision of Detective William ].
Burns, they wisely left out anything
which might tend to make the. situa-
lions cheaply theatrical. Only one
gun is shown in the entire perform
ance, and only one shot is fired.
Aside from Mr.. Dingle's able work
as Asche Kayton, who accidentally
stumbles upon a gang of counter

SPELLBOUND BY
"WITHIN THE LAW" At SHUBERT'S

Her time up Mary tried to obtain
employment. but her record always
came to light and destroyed her
chances. Then Joe Carson fished her
out of the river in whose bosom
she had decided to forget her trou-
bles Mary turned vindictiye. She
decided that the world owed her a
living and that she would get 1t, but
would always keep just within the
law. So she hired a lawyer, that he
might advise her as to how far to
go with breach of promise suits,
business partnerships, etc. And al
ways she planned revenge upon Rich
ard Glider
Then she met his son and married
him, with the sole idea of triumph
ing over his father. But there was
one thing she hadn't counted on:
Mary fell in love herself. Meantime,
Joe Carson, influenced by pal"
who was really a stool-pigeon,
planned to rob elders house of some
supposedly valuable tapestries. That
night Inspector Burke, who had sent
the stool-pigeon to Joe, planned to
arrest the whole gang. Mary heard
of the robbery and rushed to the
house to beg them to go. Carson
discovered the stool pigeons treach-
cry and shot him, then fled with the
others, leaving Mary alone with
young Glider and the body.
How Mary and young Glider were
accused of the crime, and how Gar
son was arrested and made to con-
fess, lead up to the final curtain,
with Mary weeping on young Gill
der's shoulder, her juggling-with-th the
law days ended.
The cast of within the Law Is
we'll up to the mark. Esther Mendel
made the most of her role of Helen
Morris, the guilty girl who let Mary
go to prison in her stead, and James
Heenan was as blustery an Inspector
Burke as the most melodramatic soul
could desire.
