THE NEW LEADING
MAN AT POLI'S

Richard Buhler, who became q victim
Of ptomalne poisoning last week, has
been ordered by his physician to take a
vacation. He has been succeeded by
Carl Bricket. Mr.. Brio, ket was for three
years leading man of the Poll Players
in Springfield. Mass. He returned to New
York last week from a six weeks Yaca-
ton in Bermuda, and Immediately after
his arrival in New York was oered the
leading role in The Misleading Lady"
one Of last seasons big comedy hits.
After one rehearsal Of The Misleading
Lady he was approached by Polls New
York manager. who had just received
word Of Mr.. Buhler's serious illness. Suf-
ficient influence was brought TO bear on
Mr.. Brickert and he was persuaded to
reject the New York offer and come to
Washington as the head of the Poll Play
ers here. The new leading man is a native
OF Indianapolis. His first big assignment
was under the direction OF David BeIas-
co, when he was given the leading role
OF Johnson. the road agent in The Girl
OF the Golden West" when the first
company for that tremendous Belasco
success was sent out of New York. Mr..
Brickert was leading man in the o. D.
Woodward Stock Company in Kansas
City. In the Dick Ferris Stock Company
at Omaha. and in the Walnut Theater
Stock Company in Louisville, operated
under the direction OF Robert Wayne. Mr..
Brickert was leading man for Nance
o'Neil svehaI years ago and supported
her in her repertoire of Sardon and
Sudermann plays. Last spring. when Miss
O'Nel played a stock starring engage
ment at the New Broadway Theater in
Springfield, Mr.. Brickert was again
slcted as her leading man.

COMING ATTRACTIONS.
asI,he Man from Mexico"

s'The Man from Mexico" a comedy In
three acts, by H. A. Du Souchet. VIII De
revived next week by the Poll Players
with Carl Brickert, the new Poll lead
ing man, in the role created In New
York by William Collier. The story Is
built on the duplicity of BENJAMIN
Fitzhugh, who entertains unceasing de-
sires TO spend much Of his time away
from his home and who explains 10
his Jealous wife that imperative ousi-
ness trips to Mexico are tearing MIN
away from the domestic hearth In
the course of one of the husbands ex-
cursions into the gay life he becomes
involved in a quarrel with his eabbis
over a charge, and is arrested. The
fine imposed upon him at court Is SO
excessive that Fitzhugh goes to jail
rather than submit TO what he brands
an extortion. He is made trusty
at the jail and assigned to the work
OF cleaning up the warden's office. His
wife. an estimable woman, although
quite unable to monopolize her hus-
bands attention, is a member of
committee of women that visit the
fails. Naturally, fate willis 1t that she
visit the place in which her gay husband
is incarcerated the very morning he
begins work as a janitor in the war
denis ONCE. From this point In the
play until the final climax OF the
comedy the fun is fast and furious.
Miss Jewel will have the role Of MI
Fanda, the bit of femininity who causes
q whirlwind of excitement in the placid
Fitzhugh home.

BAN REMOVED.

Many attempts have been made to Sc
cure official sanction for the production
in London of Maeterlinck's 'Monna
Wanna" but the censor has always taken
fright at the idea of permitting the hero
inc to appear on the stage in the-cos-
tune which is conspicous by its Nab-
sence. Although she wears a mantle over
her birthday suit when she visits the op-
posing generals tent, the censor has
hitherto looked upon II as an insufficient
screen against the inquisitive eye of the
English public
Lately. however. the spirit of undress
has gained such hold upon the London
stage that very little is left to the imag-
ination, and compared to some of the
''costumes" now TO be seen, particularly
in revues, the mantle of Maeterlinck's
heroine is the last word in modesty.

hOme.D .
Farce will again hold sway on the
boards of the Columbia Thetaer this week
when George H. Broadhursts 'why
Smith Left Home" win be presented by
the Columbia Players. It is a piece that
will not only afford the usual opportunI-
ties for A. H. Van Buren, and Dorothy
Bernard in the roles of Smith and Mrs.
Smith respectively, but will for the first
time this season present Carrie Thatcher
in a comedy role commensurate with her
abilities. Miss Thatcher has been cast as
Lavinnia DAILY, the secretary Of the Cook
Ladies' Union, a part originally created
by Annie Yeamans and by her made
famous. The story of why Smith Left
Home starts out as the experience of
many newly married couples start-with
the never ending string of visitors that
deny them the privilege of being alone
In each others company. As It progresses,
however and the arrival Of the brides
aunt. Mrs. Billetdoux, with a determine
ton to rule the household and every
one in ii, starts things moving. it takes
on situations that are not only enter
taining but novel as well. The scenes are
laid at Mr.. Smiths home in New York. In
addition to those already mentioned the
cast will include George w Barber as
Gen. Billetdoux, Willard Robertson as
Count Won Guggenheim. John NJ. Cline as
MAJ. Duncombe, Everett Butferfield as
Robert Walton. George Darrell as John.
Jessie Glendinning as Julia, Julia Blanc
as Mrs Billetdoux. Bessie Maxwell as
Rose Walton, and Mary Russell as Miss

BERNHARDT-RoSTAND
LAWSUIT ENDS: THEY
KISS AND MAKE UP

That lawsuit between Nine. Bernhard
and Edmond Rostand, which all Paris
has been watching feverishly. has come
TO an end, as many controversies Of the
French do-as a false alarm. The conclu-
sion of the dispute finds the great actress
and the great poet doing their utmost to
impersonate Alphonse and CASTOR. The
situation is even more Interesting because
IL reveals for the first time an author
declining royalties.
The litigation arose because Rostand
sold the rights of LAglon' to a moving
picture firm. Mime. Bernhardt, who con-
trolls the stage rights, declared that this
action was not only illegal, but sacre-
ligious, and she instituted an action
against the poet
No sooner had Rostand received mad
ame's complaint than he dictated the
following letter to her lawyer:
'Maitre: / have the honor to inform
you that 1 would rather cut on my hand
than appoint a lawyer against Mime.

she says is always right. 1 surrender to
her, II the compensation be satisfactory

distressed her, and kiss with respect

ties, which amounted to $4,000

WHY AUDIENCES OF
NEW YORK CITY ARE
NOT REPRESENTATIVE

In the July American Magazine Walter
Prichard Eaton, theatrical critic OF that
publication, writes an interesting article,
in the course of which he tells as follows
why New York audiences are not repre-
sentative:
During the past year the American
theatrical business has descended with
greater rapidity, perhaps. than ever be-
fore toward a chaos of mismanagement
We have a vast country, with 100000
of people, with thousands Of theaters,
with scores of cities large enough TO
support excellent local theatrical COM
panies, playing at reasonable prices. Yet
practically all our plays are produced by
a group of men operating in New York,
and the success or failure of those plays
through the country depends upon their
reception in New York.
This New York reception, in turn, Is
not determined by representative audi
ences, hut by audiences made up for the
most part Of people able to pay 81 (or
more often $3.50 for a seat; people out
for an evenings pleasure, as all theater-
goers are to be sure-but usually pleas
ure' for them must be spiced highly, must
have some clements of unusual novelty.
for their appetites are jaded. Many of
them, as F. P. Adams once said, see all
through wine glass. lightly; or else
they are narrowly provincial in their
views and tastes, for New York is the
most provincial city in America The
people who would naturally sit in the
galleries, and We are a gallery nation,
as the number of income tax payers at
test, do not sit in the galleries any more.
They go to moving pictures, because the
pictures are cheaper, or else they stay at
home and read or else they don't live in
New York any longer.
Yet without the guarantee of a New
York run a play cannot succeed through
the country. because the business has
been so dishonesty conducted that the
New York run is the only guarantee an
outside town has that the play has any
merit at all. The tastes Of the Broadway
80 crowd absolutely dictate the style and
spirit of our plays, hamper our dramat-
lists at every turn, narrow their choice of
subjects"

Old managers for new. tried authors
for those who are untried. willing un-
knowns for the theatricaIly well-known-
such seems to be the order of this
changeful day. Oliver Morosco Is one OF
the few producers in the country who
really sees all this. Returning TO Chi

paused long enough from his task Of
