THERE is new actress on the
L horizon. Those Broadwayfarers
who used to make habit Of journeying
up to the Bandbox Theatre on opening
nights discovered her several months
ago, when "The Magical City" became
a part of the Washington Square
Players repertory. Before the curtain
had been up five minutes everybody
knew that Miss Mower was a find. Sim
ilarly, everybody inquired Of his neigh
Dor: "What has she done before ~
Before appearing in "The Magical
City" at the Bandbox. Miss Mower
played a bit in The Tenor" also with
the Washington Squarers. Prior to
that but that will be told about later.
The present point is that Broadway
managers focked to the Bandbox and
that at the end Of the season she VIII
desert The Players. That does not
mean that she will not return to them.
Arthur Hopkins has acquired her for
"The Happy Ending" and after a year
or so on the fully professional stage
it Is not unlikely that Miss Mower will
return TO the semi-pros., bringing back
her newly acquired knowledge for the
benefit of all The Players. For that is
the present plan, and that is also the
spirit of The Players.
Meanwhile, Miss Mower is with The
Players at the Comedy, whittier they
have flown, and is appearing as Helena
in Philip Moeller's playlet, "Helena's
Husband" She promised to change
into an interviewable costume and be
down from her dressing room In ten
minutes" In such cases, OF course, It
is far nicer to put some casual esti-
mate on the time rather than 10 be
brutally direct. and say "forty-one
minutes" or "ffty-seven minutes" as
the case may be and generally is. But
the absolute and undiluted truth about
it IS that Miss Mower appeared in nine
minutesl
All interviews. of course. start the
same way Thus:
"Miss Mower, do you like cooking? :?
In other words, are your idle moments
at the theatre spent in dreaming Of
stove-sde psstimes? 1t is being done
by all prominent and beautiful ac-
tresses; the more beautiful the moro
So"
"I detest cooking" she replied. "And
with the cooking class all other house
hold duties"
"Well, perhaps you spend your after

as Billie Burke, with chorus Of Little
Billies. The three changes do not oc-
cupy more than five minutes.
But the act that has the heart Of
the stagehands is W. c. Fieldss croquet
game. Daily pools are made on the
number of shots missed by the eminent
juggler and billiard player, and the
roofing and betting in the wings are
intense as he bounces the rubber balls
up against the wall.
Next to Mr.. Wayburn and the check
suited Mr.. Gene Buck. the most i'm
portant person who visits back stage
is Leon Friedman, for nine years the
demon preas agent of the Follies. Mr..
Friedman believes in picture publicity
for the Follies. and he claims the
worlds record for placing pictures on
last years show. He succeeded in
sneaking more than / 800 into the vari-
Gus papers which dot this broad land.
What never worries Mr.. Friedman is
where to find a pretty girl for photo
graphic purposes. What always worries
him is to remember said pretty girls
name.
As soon as Mr. Friedman's orange
silk shirt appears in view there is a
concerted rush in his direction.
"Oh, Mr.. Friedman! spell my name
with " -Edyth," says one.
"You had my name Amelia" accuses
another. "It's Camille"
81 haven't had my picture in once
this month" chides another.
A trip back stage without meeting
Frances White. the young woman who
made her Broadway debut in this show,
would be quite incomplete Miss White
wears an immense brim hat, about four
feet across, on her right ear. 1t acts
as a sounding board for her voice when
she sings, being probably the only
Certain it is it Marks an Epoch, and
shows Mr.. Ziegfeld to be an enterpris-
ing patron of the sciences.
Miss White, who was discovered by
Bill Rock and brought here from the
Pacific Coast, has been on the stage
for five years. She was cast for the
lead in $50 Long, Lefty" but left for
vaudeville tour.
Fannie Brice does not appear in the
show until well on in the second act
but when she appears she is very much
in evidence.
Miss Brice is one of the original Fol-
lies girls, having been an integral and
important part Of two previous shows
She is an example Of publicity-maie
girl. When she first joined the show
she was recognized as find but her
merit did not make her. II was little
story carefully circulated, TO the effect
that she was a newsgirl picked up by
accident, that made Fanny Brice the
nit Of the Folies.
In the present edition Miss Brice
creates howls Of laughter by doing
swan dance in imitation of Pavlowa
Ii is not the imitation of Pavlowa that
creates the laughter. IL is the happy
mpersonation Of the bird that reveals
Miss Brices unfailing sense OF the
comic.
Indeed. TO watch Miss Brice from the

severe to state that the solitary charm
consists in the naivete of its vulgarity
With material which might so easily
become disgusting (and is so gener-
ally), Miss Pennington's dance is a JOY
and a delight.
On second consideration, the reason
for "Penny's' charming success as an
Hawaiian dancer becomes clearer. The
only thing Hawaiian about her is her
costume And as Hawaii is a very
warm country. this is as it should be.
"Ain't she the wonder!" seems to be
the choral estimate Of her talents. At
ter she makes her exit a bunch Of
diminutive first rowers practise steps
behind various sections Of Mr. Urban's
plastic props in jealous emulation Of
their idol.

necessary to speculate. A lively SYM
pathy for the Roman debacle is the big
idea in the mind of the spectator.
This number serves to introduce Don
Barclay. the only man in the world who
deliberately combs his hair in a zig
zag part. In his only other appearance
in this city Mr. Barclay appeared in
burlesque.
Mr.. Barclay informed the observer
that he formerly made his livelihood
as a cartoonist on a Los Angeles paper.
To prove beyond the penumbra of
doubt that such was the truth and
nothing but, he obligingly retreated TO
his dressing room and in a jiffy sup
piled the accompanying illustrations.
Meanwhile The show was progressing
with the true Ziegfeldian zest, which
does not allow more than one encore
under any consideration. In rapid sue
ccssion the stars of the Follies, whose
principal claim to stardom lies in the
fact that they are excellent dancers,
performed before Mr. Urban's gold and
red curtain, marked "Globe Theatre" 4"
as a compliment, no doubt, to Mr. Dill
lingham, who is to be Mr.. Ziegfeld's
partner in the Century enterprise next
year.
Chief among these Is little Anna
Pennington, who must be the best
dancer Of all, for such is the unani-
nous opinion Of the entire chorus.
Indeed, when Penny" as she is
termed. nimbly skips from the wings
there is perfect clutter Of choral
loveliness that focks TO every opening
10 watch her So much so that an or
dinary mortal also desirous of observ-
ing Miss Pennington's rhythmical an
tics from such a point Of vantage,
emerges from the throng with his coat
covered with face, neck and arm pow
der. resembling your typical musical
comedy Englishman just after he has
done his dance with the eight cabaret
singers in the Paris cafe scene Of Act
IT, Perhaps some Of the ruefulness
felt in brushing off the blessed finger
prints was occasioned blythe fact that
they were entirely accidental
It is in the Hawaiian dance number
with Bernard Granville that "Penny"
shows her mettle. To make this point
clear a slight depression is necessary.

arrival of her sister ship. the Bremen.
 The new warship is believed one of
 the new British battle cruisers She has three tunnels. Simultaneous with
 her appearance the four funneled war
 ship thought to be French, which has
 been patrolling just outside the three
 mile limit for several days, struck out
 to the east and disappeared. The yes sel which appeared today was the fourth from the allied navies that has been outside the capes within ten days. Three of them are supposed to have
 been British.
 Failure of the Bremen to appear [ caused considerable disappointment in German circles here today. The feel i ing prevailed that the departure of the Deutschland from Baltimore might be delayed indefinitely pending receipt of news regarding the Bremen. If she has fallen into a trap it is pointed out. 1t
 would be unwise for the Deutschland to make out to sea.
 1 Although the rumor that a fleet lay ] behind the warshps patrolling the capes lacked verification from any of ficial source many shipping men be- I leve it was true. They advocated the 1 theory that q considerable force of war vessels might remain virtually hidden | in the unfrequented waters of the southern drill grounds, forming a sec ond line for interceptiOn of the Deutschland should she pass the patrol
 ships safely and then thinking herself safe, rise to the surface. As the re-
 port of the presence of a considerable allied force outside the Capes gained ground. the belief that the Bremen might have been captured or destroyed was more widely accepted. There was
 no tangible evidence however to sup | port it.
