The coast of Maine claims Lambert
Murphy each summer for several
weeks of well earned rest after his
concert season. There are many
famous vacation resorts along the
rocky Atlantic shore, and numerous
colonies of musical folk go there reg
ularly.
Following his custom, the young
Metropolitan opera tenor accom-
panied by some friends went to Agun-
quit last summer, and he had hardly
unpacked his trunks when he received
a wire from his New York managers
informing him of a special concert in
Boston the next day
In the two days at the shore, MI.
Murphy had acquired a fine case of
sunburn that made it absolute agony
to wear a silk outing shirt Conse-
quently he wired back to New York:
tSunburEed red as a lobster. Can
YOU postpone concert ?'
An hour later he received the fol-
lowing:
Impossible to postpone. Everybody
in Boston likes lobster. Buy bottle
of mayonnaise dressing and go to 1t.
Best wishes"
AS his name suggests, Murphy was
ready with an answer, and just be-
fore he boarded the train for Boston,
he fired the final shot:
All right Leaving for Boston: May
onnaise too heavy for hot weather L
will be served with drawn butter"
This tenor-comedian will be at the
Grand Monday night at o'clock.

pleasant feature Of the Triangle
plan is the exclusive nature of its
bookings. The Knickerbocker Theater
in New York, the Studebaker in Chi

metropolitan centers: In other cities,
likewise, one of the best local theaters
will be selected for the sole presenta-

patrons of absolute uniformity of quail
ity and service.

Extraordinary developments in the
motion picture art have eliminated in
the formation of a 100000 corpora
ton for serving a first class theater in
each locality with the Griffith, Ince and
Sennett screen plays. This is said to be
the most serious inroad made on the so
called Legitimate" stage by the films.

the pictures on the strongholds of the
"old line" stage will prove irresistible.
This combination, engineered by the
widely advertised Triangle Film Cor
poration, will present each week a
Griffith supervised drama, an Ince SUI
pervised drama and two Sennett- Key
stone comedies. Fourteen thousand
feet of film, big, generous evenings

There is a star in motion pictures
who is going to make other actresses
look well to their laurels in a few
years. This star is Marjorie Daw, IA
years old, a pupil of Cecil De Mile.
Miss Daw was discovered by Geral-

thousands of dollars to her in press
notices. She played a leading role

The vaudeville bill for the first
half of teachers week seems to be
rather evenly balanced from advance
reports and it would be rather hard
to pick out what is really intended
to be the act to top the bill. Sterling
and Margaret are billed as a Dainty
Couple and offer a ring and trapeze
act which they say is the zenith of
aerial achievement. Clyde Hager and
Walter Goodwin are presenting an
act they call "And the Show Starts
Right Away with two comedians
and a piano. Chester Spencer and
Lola Williams will give a singing and
dancing slit called Putting it Over"
Bert Hanlon not only writes his own
songs but has written songs for such
stars as Sam Bernard and Ross and
Fenton. Lane and O'Donne1 are
billed as THE Lunatic Tumblers' and
they say the act is about as crazy
as it sounds. The Paramount Trav-
elogue No. 10, will show more views
of Santiago, Chill.

attractive chorus of pretty girls rush
and dance and laugh through three
acts of whirlwind farce adorned with
a catchy musical score.
