COMEDY ACTS HOLD LARGE
PLACE ON PROCTOR BILL

THE best of the season. aptly de-
scribes the big bill of vaudeville
which will be seen at Proctor's Park
Place Theatre during the coming
week.
Heading a genuine all-star pro-
gram is the Karno Comedy Company
in that famous hilarious laughing hit,
"A Night in an English Music Hall"
This is the act that has made mill
lions roar with laughter; "age can
not wither nor custom stale it's inf
mite variety" Since it's last produc-
ton in Newark many novel additions
have been made to the skit, SO that
the 1914 version will be found up to
the moment in comedy, song and pan
tomime.
Another screech of delight is Will
NJ. Cressys latest farsical play, en-
titled Monday" which will be pre-
scented by those luminaries of, COM
edy, O'Brien, Havel and Company.
Monday" portrays the woes and
anxieties of the Monday morning re-
hearsal at a vaudeville theatre, and
if there is any bit of comedy which
Mr. Cressy has failed to inject into
his sketch the modern stage manager
would like to know about it, Every
Guiding the orchestra, plays a part in
Monday" and the fun and nonsense
introduced are simply side-splitting
in their effect.
A third big feature on the bill is
the premier exhibition of the newest
and greatest motion picture achieve
ment, nothing less than the presen-
tation on the screen by a company OF
distinguished artists Of Sardou's bril-
liant international comedy sensation
'Frou Frou.' This play, which has
served as a starring vehicle for the
worlds greatest actresses, has beer
condensed into six reels.
One Of the most pleasing artists in
vaudeville today is Trixie Mccoy
whose artistic portrayal Of Southern
melodies and dances have won fol
her an enviable reputation. She, too
will be on the program with a varied
and beautiful selection of songs and
dances.
The Schiavoni Troupe of sever
whirlwind athletes, in daring and as
tonishing feats, also occupies q prom
inent position on the bill and there
is further the Cabaret Trio, which
includes Arthur Stone, the celebrated
blind pianist, who has toured the
country in concert, and whose owr
arrangement of the sextet from
Lucia" is sad to be masterpiece.
The Ramsdell Trio. known as the
premier dancing marvels, will pre-
sent a suite of FIVE dances, all of the
modern type, and executed with fas-
cinating grace. Juggling DeIlisle Of
fers a novel act to add diversion to
the program.

Curtain Calls

Enrica Clay, an American dramatic
soprano. has been engaged as guest
Of the Century Opera Company by
the Messrs. Milton and Sargent Aborn
for their presentation of "Tiefland"
and Aida"
Miss Clay has been singing In opera
in Europe for several seasons, but
has been in America, professionally,
less than year. She made her
debut at JEST italy, and sang In
many opera houses in Italy, France
and Spain, as well as In Tunis, North
Africa. At the Royal Theatre, In
Malta, she sang under the patronage
of the Duke and Duchess of Con-
naught Her first appearance In
opera in America was made with the
Chicago Philadelphia Grand Opera
Company last season, when she APP
peared at a moments notice in the
title role of Aida" Miss Clay re-
manned with that organization for the
balance of the season. Last fall she
was engaged by the De Koven Opera
Company for the prirna donna role
in ''Robin Hood" in which she had
just finished a tour Of twenty weeks.
The success of the Greek tragedies
given in the antique open-air theatre
at Fresole near Florence, Italy. and
their repetition in Rome at the sta
dunn, has led to the still more am
bilious project of giving Greek Hele-
mic representations at the Greek the
atre at Syracuse, more than 2,40O
years old.
Professor Ettore Ramagnoli, who
has spent his life translating the
Greek tragedies into italian, has been
entrusted with a new translation for
the occasion of "Agamemnon," the
first part of AeSchylus's trilogy, and
the staging of il. The costumes are
all to be taken from the figures on
Greek vases of the time, and which
actually represents the characters in
the tragedy
As for the scenery, little or nothing
will have to be done to have the COM
plete illusion of the City of Mycenae.
The theatre of Syracuse was the larg-
est after those of Miletus and Megal-
opolis, and was erected some time in
the fifth century, B. C. 1t was hewn
out of the solid rock and is nearly
semi-circular in form, forty-six of the
original sixty-one tiers of seats still
being in existence. Some of the tiers
were divided into compartments, the
Greek inscriptions, showing the name 8
of their owners, being still legfble, ard
as many of them were feminine. this
is indirect evidence that at Syracuse,
at least, the theatre was frequepted
by women, although 1t is denied by
most historians.
Nature has always combined to
render this theatre thing of beauty.

MAY WARD, DRESDEN
CHINA DOLL" At KEENEY'S

AS a special holidays attraction there
will be presented during the first half
of next week at keeney's Theatre a
bill which is declared by the pro-
prietor of the house Frank A.
Keeney, to be the equal of any ever
offered in America at popular prices.
A number of the acts have been
headliners in the big vaudeville
houses in New York and other cities.
A feature which will appeal es-
pecially to the women is May Ward,
the famous Dresden doll comedienne,
late star of THE Cash Girl" Miss
Ward is one of the prettlest and
daintiest actresses on the stage and
stands for the last word in up-to-
date costuming.
Another stellar feature, one which
is appropriate for a holiday bill in
the interest it will possess for the
children, is Powers's Manil<ins,
troupe of 100 of the smallest actors
and actresses in the world, who pre-
sent miniature vaudeville show on
their own stage, with special scenery
and novelties in electrical effects. The
performance is marvelously realistic
Willie Zimmerman, one of the clev-
crest mimics on the stage, will inn
personate various famous persons,
showing a portrait likeness of each,
so that the audience may have the
better opportunity to Judge of the
truth of his impersonations. He car
ries his own velvet cyclorama drop
and other accessories.
The bill carries pack of laughs
Of the scream variety. One of them
is the farce, "As 1t May Be-" a take
off on the suffragette proposition.
The auditor is projected into the
somewhat distant future and afforded
the opportunity to get a glimpse of
what conditions may be when the
apostles of the votes for women"
creed really get the upper hand.
Artusa, sensational equilibrist, and
three other strong acts round out the
bill A special line of first-run films
are to be shown. The bill, which is
being arranged for the last half of
the week will present some surprises.

Traffic in Souls" which is the best
effort of the Universal Film Com
