LOU-TELLEGEN
Actor to Appear in an Unusual
Role at the Longacre.

The temperance of Lou-Tellegen in
this country, announced for the Long
acre Theatre, on December %, will re-
veal that actor in a role entirely un-
like anything he has heretofore at
tempted, either in an English speaking
part or in any of the many characters
he portrayed during the three years he
appeared with Sarah Bernhard. "Se-
cret Strings" is the title of the new
play. in which he will create the role
of Rene, known as the Comet, most
notorious thief, who has eluded the cell
ebrated detectives of France. The play
is described as a detective comedy in
four acts, by Kate Jordan, having been
adapted for the stage from her own
short story of the same name. It's
scenes are enacted in Paris and in an
old chateau between Paris and Nantes,
whence Rene has been invited as a
guest to the Count and Countess Lam
ballieu. This very modern young thief
had married a charming and handsome
young woman in Monte Carlo, who
promptly left him when she discovered
the nature Of his profession. The ac-
tion of the play begins a year later in
Paris, with Rene and his accomplices
endeavoring to induce Jeanette, his
wife, to become party TO the scheme
they have concocted to rob the chateau
of some valuable jewels. Rene proposes
that Jeanette shall also visit the
chateau as a companion to the Count
ess. Unable TO earn living and with
starvation or the Seine her only other
alternative, she agrees, for a share in
the loot, to help him locate the famous
family Jewels. Upon her arrival at the
chateau she meets Victor, a nephew OF
the Count, and mutual admiration
soon ripens into a deeper affection
with the result that Jeanette attempts
10 dissuade her husband from pursuing
his nefarious scheme and begs him to
release her from the agreement. Rene,
cognizant of the affair between her and
Victor, threatens to disclose her iden-
tity TO the young nobleman unless she
agrees to carry out her part OF the
compact. From this point the play de-
yelops interesting and dramatic cpl
sodes, which eliminate in what Is
promised one of the most surprising
denouements which have ever been
conceived.
Apart from Lou-Tellegen, who is to
create the role of Rene, the cast will
include Mary Nash, as Jeanette; Fred
eric de Belleville, as the Count; Ham,
ilton Revelle, as Victor; Marion Abbott,

Coming to B. f. Keith's Royal Thea
tire this week for the first time to head
line the bill are Joseph Howard and
Mabel McCane, the former the well
known song writer and musical comedy
producer and the latter a dainty sing
ing coincidence. Although this team
has never been seen here before, their
song compositions are well known.
"Hello, My Baby" 81 Wonder WHO'S
Kissing Her Now" "What's the Use Of
Dreaming?" and "Goodby, My Lady
Love-" are only few of the songs writ
ten by Mr.. Howard that have been sung
and whistled throughout the land and
sold in thousands of copies. And they
have a batch of new and catchy songs
which, together with some bright pat
ter, they will give here this week. Miss
McCane is an exceedingly attractive
girl and has four or five of the most
stunning gowns the stage has seen IN
many a day-the very dernier crl OF the
smart Partisan modistes.
The funniest team OF comedians be
fore the public anywhere to-day IS
Bickel and Watson. the men who helped
make Ziegfeld's Follies famous, and
who will be on the bill here this week.
In their musical absurdities these men
have been veritable cyclone of laugh
ter from the Atlantic to the Pacific:
Bickel and Watson have been engaged
in theatricals since their childhood and
have come up the steep plane to sue
cess step by step, until finally they
have arrived as permanent fixture IN

DELIGHTFUL SOCIAL GATHERING
Was Held at Congregational Church Last
Evening and Largely Attended.

ENtuiuR anu AHA SSAy
THE fall and winter activities of the
Congregational church, just opening, re-
ceived an added impetus last night, when
more than 200 members and attendants
gathered in the church parlors for So
cial time and to welcome the pastor, Kew.
7 w. Barnett, back to his labors after
his summer vacation.
The parlors were prettily decorated
with flowers, and the hum OF voices was
assurance that everybody was having an
ENJOYABLE time. A program, consisting
of piano duet by Misses Gladys Gale
and Annie Messer, vocal duet by Mrs.
GLADYS Bradley and Miss Glee Wood
and soprano solo by Mrs. Bradley, pre-.
coded remarks along various lines OF
church work Henry jackson, as master
of ceremonies, fittingly introduced the
numbers on the program and called on
Mr.. Barnett to speak on the topic, What
Our Church Needs-From Its Pastor
yiewpoint" This Mr.. Barnett did very
conch,siyelv and expressed his apprecia-
ton of last nights gathering and the m
terest it signifed in the work OF the
church. H. G. Woodruff was the next
speaker. and to him was assigned the
topic. "What Our Church Needs-from
Sunday School Workers Standpoint.
The last speaker was Mrs. Isabelle Ewen'
who during the winter months acted
most acceptably as a district worker for
the Congregational church here, and is
now located at South Woodbury.. She
spoke very interestingly concerning her
work in both places, showing deep m
sight into the needs of the people.
At the conclusion of the program, re-
,'freshments were served in the dining
room. and it was late hour before
those present left for their homes feel,
ing that the bond OF friendship ana
church brotherhood had been strength
ened by the evening together
