IRENE FRANKLIN
ONCE CHILD STAR

Biography is the most fascinating Of
all studies. Educators believe II Is the
most profitable and that its influence
upon character building is not !equalled
by any other branch Of study. Indeed,
they give it first place in the curricu-
lum in estimating effect of study upon
subsequent achievements in business
and professional careers. No biography
makes better reading than the lives OF
stage favOrites, and none is read with
such absorbing interest by the general
public
Miss Irene Franklin, who is playing
one of the principal roles IN Hands
Up" at the Forty-fourth Street Theatre,
was born in st. Louis. She IS the
daughter Of the late Augustus Frank
lin. who, in his time, was one OF the
ablost theatrical craftsmen in America,
and perhaps the. best known OF stage
managers. Unlike most player folk
Miss Franklin retained her real name
when she adopted professional
career. ..-r,
Her first successful role was IN The
Prodigal Father" with which produc-
ton she remained for five seasons IL
was She who originated the role OF the
child in "Edithas Burglar and Tor
three years she played this part TO the
satisfaction of the most exactlng critics
and the great pleasure of vast num-
Der of playgoers.
When she had grown too large TO
play child parts Miss Franklin went to
Australia and was engaged by Rlchards
& Richards. She was fifteen at that
time, and at the end Of three seasons
returned to her native land.
On her way back from the AntlpodeS
Miss Franklin remained long enough IN
London TO fiji an engagement AT the
Palace. She was successful, but having
so recently lost her mother and beng
anxious to return to America, she ana
not follow up her success there, ana
since that time has not crossed the
water.
II was in 1895 that she made her
debut in vaudeville, but it was three
seasons later when she achieved her
great hit. and in one evening emerged

sition of greatest prominence among

Steamer Mandalay.

The patrons Of the Hudson steamer
Mandalay were so well pleased with
the nightly dancing exhibitions given
BY the team Of kearney and Talbot last
week that the management Of that
amusement enterprise has engaged
them for the coming week. Each night
they will give their repertoire of the
newest ,erpsichorean steps. which have
been entirely changed from the past

BLUE MONDAY AT
WINTER GARDEN
Weekly Rehearsal Not Loved by
Chorus, but Most
Necessary.

Monday is a bit bluer than else
where at the New York Winter Gar
den. For, in the high electric noon Of
the spotlighted stage. the choristers
then 80 through the weekly rehearsal.
Whatever the weather there is a four
hour grind, and if you doubt that a
rehearsal IS real work listen to the
repressed waiting and gnashng Of
teeth
There are a hundred girls in THE
Passing Show of 1915" and twenty-four
chorus men. Each one Of these has
her or his particular bit Of work TO
do IN the performance and yet all must
work together. II is the duty OF Stage
Manager Evans and his assistants 20
see that each and all do their work
and do it together 80 that the patron
out front. who is paying $3.50 seat,
will not complain that he is not get
ting his moneys worth.
The girls appear for rehearsal in all
stages of dress and undrcss. Some
have bathing suits. others wear bloom
ers. and a few have neat practice suits
which they have made especially for
rehearsals Others wear any old dress
which is cool and comfortable.
First, there is general buzzlng
about. Then suddenly the stage d.
rector steps 70 the front. He confera
with Mr. Curry, the manager OF the
company, a moment. Curry tells him
what he thinks should be rchearsed IN
particular. Evans claps his hands, the
musical director takes his place at the
piano, and everybody is at attention.
"Now. children, opening chorus, and
then right through the show IS the
cheerful remark.
Thanked on either side by an assist
ant stage manager the choriSters go
through their PAGES. The stage d.
rector. like a captain % ship, ma
npuvres and watches everything keenly.
Suddenly there is a whistle.
"Stop. there" cries the captain.
whats the matter with you girls
on the left end? Do you think the
audience has no sense Of time? What
are you loafing for? Now, keep up or
I'll keep you at this all day long
The grind starts again. over and
over the bit is rehearsed, with the
piano humping out the tunes instead
Of the orchestra which the audience
hears at the performances. After three
or four numbers the company begins to
tire. No so the stage director. He
knows that the minute he lets up or
allows the people 70 drag along, he is
defeated. The chief element in the
playing Of these Winter Garden revLes
is what stage managers call speed
Evans has been at the Winter Gar
den for years, and he knows that 1t Is
necessary to keep the performance run
ming on all cylinders. And then. Man
ager Curry is another veteran, and he.
too, yelps for speed. The minute the
performance loses its pep the audi
ence becomes dissatisfied and weary.

INSURANCE AGAINST AIR RAIDS.

Attacks by aeroplanes upon Germ?n
cities near the battlefronts, especially
On the west, have created demand
for insurance against injuries from
bombs thrown upon them, says Leo A.

eral at Dresden, Saxony. in recent
issue Of the Commerce Reports. The
Stuttgart Berliner Insurance COM
pany has in consequence established a
department of what may properly he
called aerial insurance, the company
issuing policies covering damage to all
property, real or movable. caused by
explosive bodies or other objects

Therefore. it is up to the stage man
aver 10 keep up the pace. SO ne does
not let any one lag at rehearsals.
Here and there one or two OF the
girls are overcome by the heat and It
is necessary 20 stop, but that Is only
for a moment Up the runway and
down the aisles 90 the girls, practising
their Stunts" And it may be remarked
in passing that most Of these girls
wear more in rehearsal than they do in
the performance.
Rchcarsals are work. If a perform
ance is ragged, you may know that the
rehearsals have not been regular
enough or that they have not been
brisk enough. II is the old story Of
the virtue Of practice.
These girls, who seem to take life so
easily when they are behind the foot
lights, realize that the duration of the
run in New York depends 10 a large
extent on the excellence Of the per
Torrance they give. And as they are
all eager to spend the summer here,
they are willing TO work. THE Pass
ing Show Of 1915" is no exception to
the general rule of rehearsals. All
shows have 90 be rehearsed and these
rehearsals have to be attended TO dill
gently. In these Winter Garden re
vues the rehearsals of the principals
are generally attended to by a separate
stage director. But being more or less
A combination Of vaudeville acts and
spccialties, it is not necessary to re-
hearse them as often as one does the
chorus. The principals Of these revues
help write their own parts. These big
products are made" after the opening
night. SO that the producer aims and
strives TO keep his chorus perfect. for
he knows that the principals will take
care of themselves SO the stage nan
accr confines his efforts mainly to the
chorus, although tn" principals are by

and forth and over and over again on
each number. Now il is the stage man.
ager who does not like the manner IN
which certain bit of business was
done and he orders the girls back and
makes them go over the scene half
dozen times. Then again IT is the mu-
steal director who finds fault with the
singing Of some number. Facing these
two martinets is no easy task and when
the period Of work is over 1t Is feeble

Winter Garden stage.
