SHUBERT

"The Things That Count" which
comes to the Shubert Theatre next
week, enjoyed an all-season run at
William A. Brady's Playhouse, New
York, in what was known far and
wide as the worst winter in years for
theatrical amueements.
In these days of managerial impa-
thence, 1t is surprising that play Of
no sensational significance should
have survived Its early crucial point
for Lawrence Eyre's drama did not
Immediately capture the favor of New
York.
1t had appeared directly In the wake
of veritable fux of pathological and
sociological stage matter so startling
land In some instances so shocking
that the new play found the public in
a hesitant mood about going to the
theatre at all.
"The Things That Count" held none
of these super-heated features. but
depended solely upon its worth as a
play that touched the heart and sim
ultaneously made the spectators laugh
as 1t portrayed the natural woes and
reflected the amusing perplexities OF
entirely respectable persons.
There was not scarlet woman in
1t, not vicious character or thought.
1t was thrilling, but perfectly clean.
So the audiences for a time were not
large. Some managers would have
cast the piece into the discard with
out waiting for the verdict of second
thought. But Mr.. Brady had In is
record a number of plays which had
begun in the same manner, and he
waited, not making very much money
the while.
In due course the public began to
respond. The word was pass ng
round that here was an admirable
drama, delightfully."- played, and with
out blush. Clergymen came to gee
1t in great numbers and told the +
parishioners Principals of schools
followed the lead of members of the
Board of Education and advised their
pupils. Everybody began to talk about
the strong, fine play at the Playhouse
and THE Things That Count was
made. The theatre, from that mo-
ment until closing time In the hot
weather period, was packed
The original cast will be seen here.
The election returns will be an
nounced on Tuesday night.

ORPHEUM

THE Littlest Rebel" which is the
bill of the Forsberg Players for the
week of November at the Orpheum,
Is by Edward Peple, who was also
the author OF THE Prince Chap" and
of the more recent success of the
stage, "A Pair OF Skies"
AS the title implies, THE Littlest
Rebel" deals with war times and the
great struggle for supremacy between
the North and the South, and yet 1t
Is not, strictly speaking. q war play.
as the principal interest lies in the
little girl from whom the play gains
Its title.
Bereft Of mother and hiding with
her father. who Is a rebel scout in O.
mountain cabin, they are both starry
ing and in danger of capture, wnen
the father ventures forth to secure
food for himself and child. The rather
is pursued by q troop of Northern
soldiers, who track him To the cabin.
Concealing himself in the loft, the
father eAacts a promise from the
nItle girl to tell his pursuers he has
gone. The cabin door Is broken open.
the soldiers rush in expecting to nnd
a desperate enemy and confront only
a little barefoot tot playing with a
rag doll.
She tells the lie to which she was
pledged and convinces the soldiers
that her father is not there, when an
unlucky move on his part betrays his
hiding place. and he 10 compelled to
descend.
on the point Of being led forth to
execution as a spy, the father exacts
promise from his captors to take
the child to Richmond and turns TO
say good-by to her. The heartrend-
ing scene is more than the Northern
commander can stand, and, instead
of shooting the father, he passes both
him and the child through the lines.
So popular did the play become at
the time of its first production that
three companies were touring the
country In 1t at the same time, head
ed by the three Farnum brothers,
Dustin. William and Marshall, the
latter of whom Manager Forsberg
has engaged to stage the play and
enact the principal character, which
he so successfully played on tour.
This will be the most pretentious
production yet made by the Forsberg
Players at the Orpheum. and will be
adequately mounted and produced
with all the accessories that went 80
far to make the original production
such a memorable success.
Specially engaged for the play Is
the little child actress. Constance
Robinson, who was the Virgie in the
original company and who has since
played the part many times In the
numerous reyivals which the play
has had.
Mr.. Dingle will be seen In the OPP
posits male part to Mr. Farnum. and
the mother will be played by Miss
Ottola Nesmith. Edwin Forsberg will
also appear, as will Miss Helen Court
ney, Mr.. Beebe, Mr.. Van Sloan, Mr..
Van Orden and Mr.. English and
large number of specially
artists whom the production requires.
AS usual, there Will b daily matt
