Curtain Calls

Mrs. Jennie Lamont, who has Gre
ated such a sensation with Chauncey
Olcott the past two years, Will again
support the distinguished Irish actor
when he appears at the Newark
Theatre next week in his new play
"Shameen Dhu."
Mrs. Lamont Is probably the best
impersonator of what are known as
"Biddy" characters that the Ameri-
can stage affords, and has maze an
extraordinarily strong foil for MT
Olcott
She bids fair to remain feature
of the Olcott family for some years
to come.
William H. Crane, Douglas Falr-
banks, Amelia Bingham and Patricia
CoIlinge are the stars of individual
prominence who will be seen at tne
head of an equally strong cast at

Victor Mapes and is based upon
Bronson Towards famous COMEDY

nomenal success at the hnlckerpockel
Theatre, New York city, and Is seen
on tour in order to fill engagements
which were contracted for earlier IN
the season when the stellar combi-
nation was originally formed.
The Lewis dogs and monkeys at
Keeney's afford never waning merrl-
ment to children no less than the
grown folk. A boxing bout between
one of the dogs and a monkey is an
especially amusing feature.
A hoop-rolling act by the Four Con-
err Brothers at the Washington the
atre creates no end of amusement.

CHAUNCEY OLcOTTIS
NEWARK ATTRACTION

Pure Irish wit and touching Irish
melodies are the soul of Chauncey Oh
colts latest success, "Shameen Dhu."
in which he opens for an engagement
of one week at the Newark Theatre
Monday evening.
The play takes the audience to the
Emerald Isle and describes the sim
pie, yet happy life, of the folk there
and their steadfast loyalty to each
other. and to the cause of liberty.
1t gives the impression that the
happiest place in heaven or on earth
Is the green isle. There young Dare
O'Donnell strives by every means in
his power to raise money and re-
cruits for George Washington, who is
struggling in the American colonies
to throw off the yoke of England. To
confer with him there comes across the
ocean Edward O'Dea, representative
of the Continental Congress, and, as
luck would have it, he brings with
him his fair young sister, Peggy.
Dare Immediately falls head over ears
in love with Peggy, which is as 1t
should be. for it is the fair Young
colleen she is.
Unfortunately for Dare and the
success OF his love-making, however,
he is already engaged to Shiela Far
rell, a pretty young widow, although
the engagement mas little of the ele-
ment of seriousness as it has been
entered into at the lady's request. to
save her fortune from the unscrupu-
lous executor of her husbands estate.
Peggy, who is the guest of Mrs. Far
rell, does not know this, however. and
when she feels her heart beginning to
answer the call of Dare's there is
great to do. The low-b bred executor
attempts to have Dare remanded as a
traitor to the crown, and some thrill
ing situations occur.
But all ends happily however; Dare
wins Peggy and the fair Shiela gives
her hand and, incidentally, her for
tune, to the brave young American,
ODea. Too much cannot be said of
Mr.. O1cotts Characterization of Dare
O'Donnell. He has the same charm
ing manner and the same sweet voice
which have always made him a big
favorite here. The costuming and
scenic effects are quaint and beauti-
full and lend tone to the play in
keeping with Its character "Sharneen
Dhu" is said to be the most effective
vehicle in which Mr. Olcott has ever
been seen IN this city

LITTLE MISS BROWN" TO

In this season of farcical successes,
none, according to advance reports,
has made the solid, substantial sue
cess that has fallen to Little Miss
Brown" This comedy, written by
Philip H. Bartholomae and produced
by william A. Brady. will appear in
this city again at the Shubert Theatre

Little Miss Brown" has but one
purpose--to incite laughter. 1t is
purely American in motive and treat
msrt, Contrary to accepted tradi-
tions. not a trace of alien material
can be found in it. The three acts,
with five scenes. are all laid in a ho-
tel. Little Miss Brown reaches the
city late at night, expecting to be met
by her fiancee. A confusion of dates
explains his failure to be at the sta
ton. To add to her perplexity. pick
pocket steals her purse, leaving with
her nothing but a suitcase. She
makes the rounds of the hotels, but
because she is alone and without
money, she is invariably refused ac-
Communications.
At last a humane telephone girl
advises her to register as a married
woman and tell the clerk her hus-
band is expected to join her in the
morning. In desperation she permits
the hotel porter to identify her as
Mrs. Dennison, whose husband has
reserved apartments. OF course,
after she is comfortable for the night,
Mr.. Dennison arrives and is shown
to an opposite apartment. They meet
the next morning, to their mutual
astonshment. Then the real Mrs.
Dennison arrives and scents a scan

'KINDLING,' PLAY OF HUMAN
INTEREST, AT ORPHEuM

"Kindling," q three-act play oy
Charles Kenyon, in which Margaret
Ellington starred, will be the attraction
given by the Brownell- Stork stock
Company at the Orpheum ihea.Ie
next week. The kindling of the title
Represents the frail children brought
into the Stun world by improperly
nourished Notwithstanding as dry as
finder and as helpless as the soul
scorching atmosphere into which they
are born as withered saplings In a
forest fire. "Kindling" is not preach
ment, however 1t is a story that
grips you and holds. you tense from
the rise to the fall of the last cur
tain.
Miss Mabel BrowneIl has to say of
"Kindling:" 'Kindling' is a wonder
full play. If | might have had the
privilege of playing it over the entire
country as Miss Ellington did, 1t would
have made me very happy. Even so,
to be able to do it in Newark is
splendid, and I hope l will be able
to make my audiences feel with me
the pitiful plight of SO many dear
little babies brought into the world,
some of them most unwelcome, IN the
crowded tenements of our big cities.
It's q story of sordid tenement house
existence that rings true, one much
ends happily. Maggie Schultz, the
young wife of a stevedore, has fierce
love for her unborn child and is
tempted to steal. She steals from the
persons who own and neglect the
howell in which she lives. At first her
thefts are of trinkets for her baby's
layette, then a diamond brooch.
which she pawns for enough money
to take her and her husband west.
for she is obsessed with the idea that
1t would be worse than criminal to
bring a child into the world in the
crowded tenement in which they live.
She glories in her crime, excusing 1t
by the rights of coming motherhood.
TN due time, however, exposure
comes and it is in this act that some
exceptionally strong emotional scenes
take place. When the detectives are
close on her trail she falters and goes
to pieces, and when the future looks
hopeless; when her 'kindling,' as she
calls her child that is to come, seems
doomed, then q woman, settlement
worker, goes to her rescue"

shepherd of the Hills" to
Open Majestic Theatre

The Shepherd OF the Hills" the
dramatization of Harold Bell Wrights
noel, which holds the record for the
largest sales of any American work
of fiction, which has been made by
Mr.. Wright, with the assistance of
Fishery w. Reynolds, will be the
opening attraction at the new Ma
jestic Theatre, commencing Monday
night, January 26, with matinees
Tuesday. Thursday and Saturday.
The scenes of the play are laid
among the Ozark Mountains of Mis-
souri,. 1t is a story of the hills and
the simple life, yet it has plenty of
excitement and an air of mystery
that will hold the auditor from be-
ginning to end.
The story has to do with the faith
err of an artist, who tired of city
life, goes into the Ozarks for peace
and quietude. He learns of a griev-
Gus sin committed by his son, who
he mourns as dead. The son had
visited the hills some years before,
when he fell in love with a simple
country girl. He painted her picture
and when he went back to the city,
deserving the girl, he earned fame be-
cause of the canvas. The girl, de-
serted and broken-hearted, dies, leav-
ing behind her half-witted son.
1t is to the home of this dead and
wronged girl that the father of the
artist comes. ad here he is employed
to watch the sheep. He grows to
love the country and it's people, and
he and the half-witted boy, Pete, be-
come friends. Then there is a love
story running through the play that
adds to its attractiveness. 1t is the
love of a young giant of the hills
for Sammy Lane, a girl of unusual
qualities.
There are several characters whose
quain humor is decided novelty
Taken as whole. the play promises
to prove a refreshing change from the
general run of dramatic attractions
this season. Messrs. Gaskill and Mac
Witty, the producers, have given the
play an elaborate mountaing, the
mountains of the Ozark affording an
opportunity for some fine examples
of the scenic painters art. The cast
has been selected for their particular
fitness for each type.
