THE STAGE

The Temple program for next week
looks like a regular mid-winter bill. IL
Is headed by Maclyn Arhnckle, star of
THE County Chairman" THE Round
Up" and originator OF that famous
saying. Nobody Loves a Fat Man"
The engagement will make Mr.. Ar.
buckles only appearance In vaudeville
this year. The coming season he is TO
be starred In new comedy entitled
Back Home" whitted by Irwin s.
Cobb and Bayard Villier and adapted
from stories by Mr.. Cobb in the Sat.
urday Evening Post. For his Temple
en- Engagement Mr.. Arbnckle will offer a
monologue which will include some of
the funny stories and Jokes which he
told on board ship during the recent
annual cruise of the Detroit Board OF
Commerce when he was one OF the
guests OF honor. Eight other yaude-
Vile numbers have been booked TO sup
port Mr.. Arbuckle. One OF them 10
by the popular song-writer. Albert Won
Tilzer who will be assisted by Dorothy
Nord In the rendition OF several Of
Won Tilzers latest songs.
That delicious anu iaugh-tempting
farce, Overnight" will be the Offering
of the Bonstelle company In the Gar
rick theater next week. The plot
hinges upon the plumbers OF two newly
married couples. Philip Bartholomae.
the author, has created four characters
and so distributed them that the mere
situation Is productive OF fun. On one
side we have domineering, buster
ing husband and demure wife; on
the other shrewish woman and
mild, inoffensive husband who has
been dubbed, "milk-fed." The story
places the timid wife and demure hus-
band on board q boat bound up the
Hudson, with their respective lords
and masters left standing on the dock.
Then the action Of the play runs riot
for two and one-half hours.
1.-THE Whirl Of the World" soon will
end its summer engagement at
Cohan's grand opera house, Chicago.
and will come to Detroit early in Sep
TENDER. For this engagement the cast
will be the one which played for %
weeks In the New York winter garden.
The principal players are Eugene
and Willie Howard. Moon and Morris,
John T.. Murray, Beril Barbaretto,
Ward Bros, Clarence Harvey, Ed
ward Cutler, Louis j. Cody, Chapine,
Juliette Lippe, Lucille Cavanaugh,
Trixie Raymond and Mary Ellison.
For IL weeks the Detroit opera
house has enjoyed the most prosper
GUS business with Annette Kellerman
In "Neptune's Daughter as its attrac-
ton, and still another week Ii an
nounced, beginning next Sunday af-
ternoon. 1t is quite probable that
next week will be the last-not be-
cause interest In the Annette Keller
man production Is waning, but be-
cause the regular dramatic season OF
the opera house begins the latter part
OF August, and 1t is necessary to
close the theater for a couple OF
weeks to redecorate. Therefore, IL
there are any Detroit people who
have not yet seen this beautifully
thrilling film production, they are
urged to see It now, for after ii leaves
the opera house ''Neptune's Daugh-
ter" Is scheduled for a tour of the
principal cities OF the state. To add
to the praise that has already been
bestowed on this remarkable pic
torial performance is almost impos-
sible. The fact that 1t has played to
more people than any six previous
theatrical offerings in Detroit, is suf-
| icient proof of its extraordinary
merit. There are two performances
daily, and each runs two and one-half
hours.
