Theatrical Review

NEW YORK, June 27.-David Bel

to get away for mthe 19l4-1915 the
atricaI handicap. The piece is called
"The Vanishing Bride" taken from a
German source and adapted by Sgd

on for a week. The warming I'D
spirit will be at Long Branch on July
20. After few gallops at other sea-
side towns, Belasco, provided he likes
it well enough, will spring it on
Manhattan at the Belasco theater in
September. Up to this writing the
managers of the Vanishing Bride
would give no inkling of how she
vanished or whether she was finally
caught. The story of the play was
kept a dead secret.
Another early one thai will be
shown to Broadwayfarers who are

Neil Camp Tells Of
His Travels in Spain

Through the courtesy of Mr. A. P.
Camp we print some further extracts
from letters received from his son,
Neil, who is still travelling in Spain:
Madrid, Spain, April 27, 1914.
Dear Father:
Since my last letter I have said
goodbye to the Gran Hotel Oriente
which had commenced to get on my
nerves. 1t was not bad place, but
sad and lonesome. | got the notion
could do much better, and l was
right. When you want anything in
Spain, you put an ad in the papers.
On every street corner it seems, there
taken and the service is very cheap
so l put in an ad to the effect that
a foreigner wanted board and lodg-
ing in a private house in one of the
newer and nicer parts of the city and
received a large number of replies.
then spent a day running around Mad
rid In "coche" looking at the offer
ings and in the end fixed upon my
present habitation, which is designat-
ed as Gale 8, 1st lzdo-which means
that you go to number 9 and pull
the bell cord of the left hand door
on the second floor. The arrange
ment of the house, doors and all, is
just what you see in the French NOV
ing pictures.
The lady of the house is the Sonora
Vinda de La T, rather recently
a widow. The family consists of the
mother and two daughters. The late
Senior da La T was an army
officer, who served in Cuba, Porto
Rico and other parts of the Spanish
world. / was much relieved to learn
he died a natural death. / was afraid
for time he might have been slaugh-
tered by "Teddy" on San Juan hill.

am still going through the Mu-
scum of Madrid. Yesterday l went
through the wonderful Armeria in one
of the wings of the kings palace.
Nothing have seen made history
seem so real as this. There is the
original armor worn by so many of
the great characters, about whom one
reads so much. To see Titian's por-
trait of Charles v. in the Prado, and

do not start until 10 or half past,
and to go to the play means 3 or 4

foreigner. One is just as apt to eat
dinner at 3 o'clock in the morning

must suffer for tampering with his
sacred person.
A big baboon escapes from confine-
ment and in prying about perches
upon the prison window in the very
cell in which Kathlyn and her father
are confined. This alert young wom-
an conceives the idea of communicat-
ing with the outer world, sending by
1t message to its keeper so that
Ahmed will get it and further their
plans for escape. She rips the insole
from her shoe, and writes with the
colonePs indelible pencil, ain the pal
ace prison. Help.-Kathlyn.' She
ties this about the neck of the mon
key and then it is captured by All
med, who seeing the message, at once
takes it to Bruce. The resourceful
American consults with Ramabai, and
they conclude to drive an elephant up
to the prison window and pull out
the bars. This is done, and so much
of the masonry comes free that Kath-
lyn easily escapes through the open
ing; but Col. Hare, securely chained
to the pillar in his prison, is unable
to get away. He tells his daughter
to leave, as fortune will free him.
So she reluctantly hurries away to
the Hare bungalow in the jungles of
Allaha, as the scene dims.
Second Reel
Kathlyn's safety having been Sc
cured, she Immediately begins plan
ming hom to release her father. The
first move in this project is to secure
umballah by strategy. They accom-
plish this with the aid of the fasci-
mating Pundita, who pretends to have
turned against Kathlyn and assumes
to wish to effect her capture. Um-
bailah, disarmed by rage, Immediate
ly starts out in quest of his prey. On
arriving at the bungalow, he rushes
INTO the room, but suddenly finds the
door barred behind him by Kathlyn,
who is holding leopard in leash.
Thus they take advantage of his fear,
and he is forced to sign a release for
Col. Hare from the palace prison.
Having secured this important docu-
ment, Bruce, Kathlyn and Pundita
leaving Umbaiiah guarded by the
leopard, rush to their elephant with
their impedimenta and start to rem
devious in the jungle where they are
to meet Col. Hare, who is to come
when released through the medium
of Umballah's message.
umballah, having finally affected
his escape with great difficulty, re-
turns to the palace-but too late. The
messenger has filed his order, the
prisoner has been released, and is we'll
on his way toward the coast. The
vengeful Parsee prince, however, is
not to be SO easily outwitted, and
starts his retainers on dromedaries to
intercept the flight Of the Americans
Umballah, coming up with the rear
of the procession, takes long dis
tance shot and wounds Kathlyn.

floor. Harlan says his new manner
Of living affords him more time to
humor his leanings towards domestic
ity. There do be them as say, how
ever, that the clever comedian is
rather stout for the stunts he for
merly pulled.
Say what you will about the peo-
pie firing of the "Follies" and such
shows, but you'll have to prove it to
Florenz Ziegfeld. During the first
week that the annual frothy "Fol-
lies" frothed and foamed at the Ans
terdam round $4,000 gross was
poured into Ziegfeld's till via the box
office counter.
Ziegfeld, by the way, seems to have
brought himself much fortune by
marrying pretty Billie Burke. The
Amsterdam roof also is under his
management. 1t did an average of
5000 nightly in the box office. The bar
receipts averaged about $3.50 every
night.
Marcus Loew. pioneer vaudeville
magnate, is pioneering again, and it
looks like he has put his money on
another big winner. One week ago
tonight Loew started hodge e-podge
entertainment ON the Brooklyn Ma
tional baseball clubs grounds. Ev-
erything from circus acts TO q band
entertainment by an organization of
100 pieces was on the program. The
park seats 81 800 persons. With pri-
ces at ten and fifteen cents there was
always big audience. The lighting
arrangements are better than those
at any outdoor night circus perform
ance.
If the success of the past week con-
tinues, it is understood that Loew
would be willing to extend his opera
tions to other cities where there are
baseball parks, and during the sum-
mer run string Of shows similar
to his winter theatrical circuit.
Next season, according to reports
from London, Col. e. A. Brandon,
general manager Of the famous Gaiety
theater, where so many titled or
wealthy Englishmen have found wives
will drop the "star system" Col
Brandon says that the system of
featuring any one player in adver-
tising or on the billboards has prov
ed to be bad.
The new system has aroused in
tense sedisapproval--naturally--among
the actors and actresses but the
Gaiety management, it is said, will
at least try out the new plan during
the coming season.
