To Give j. S. War News.
First Bulletin Telling of Activ.
tiles Will Be Issued Soon.

Washington. Aug. 2l.-The first official
summary of the war activities OF the
United States will be issued in a few
days by Secretary Baker, to be followed
weekly thereafter with statements of
such matters as may be disclosed with
out military precautions.
The exact nature of the statements
has not been made known. In announc-
ing his intention to begin the practice,
however, Secretary Baker said he would
go Just as far as the military advisers OF
the government deemed it wise toward
informing the public of what was in pro-
gress. Information of every sort reach
ing the department will be scrutinized
for publishable matter and the impress
sion was given that the statements would
not be confined exclusively to past action
but probably would contain forecasts
wherever permissible.
When American troops get into action
in France daily statements probably will
be issued, founded upon the reports from
General Pershing. This has been the
British custom and will be followed by
the United States.
Regarding many rumors of disasters
to American troops or shipping, con-
stantly being circulated, Mr.. Baker re-
iterated emphatically the pledge of the
Administration to withhold no news of
misadventure of the forces from the
public. Every untoward happening will
be announced promptly he said, and the
yublic may rest assured that no news
means good news to that extent. Such
rumors as have been current recently, he
added, were without any foundation
whatever.
The extent to which naval happenings
can be made public is different matter
Secretary Daniels has promised that
news of disasters will be given out with
as little delay as possible, but it is not
to be expected that the extent of damage
to naval craft, temporary disablement
of destroyers or other vessels, either as
a result of action or through accident,
will be disclosed The practice of all
countries has been to keep the enemy as
much in the dark as possible on such
matters.

"Over the Top"
Goes Right Over

The Shuberts' latest musical produc-
ton, cover the Top" went over the top
with a will. It was launched at the
only 9 o'clock theatre in New York.
The sensation of the night was Justine
tombstone, the newly created star.
When Miss tombstone made her debut
in the theatrical world she appeared in
the chorus of little musical produc-
ton in the Fulton Theatre. A year ago
she was in the chorus Of "0h Boy"
when that production played in the
Princess Theatre, and IL was then that
her charming personality attracted the
attention of the Shuberts. At the same
time the public began to talk about the
beautiful girl in the chorus, who
seemed out Of place in a Broadway mu-
steal show.
Finally others began 10 realize her
beauty, and she has posed for many Of
the foremost artists. Fashion maga.
zines have printed her picture wearing
magnificent furs and costly evening
wraps. Incidentally, two we'll known
artists nearly came to blows over her.
Miss tombstone continues TO be her own
happy self None of this wave Of at
tention has turned her head. She has
often wondered at her great popularity,
but she thinks it is because she has
proven that one can be good and happy
at the same time.

Old Mystery Plays
For Christmastide

Three miracle plays Of the fifteenth
century are TO be revived at the Green
wich Village Theatre for three special
performances during Christmas week.
They will take place on Thursday, De-
cember 20, at o'clock; on Friday, the
2lst, at 3, and on Christmas Eve, Mon
day, December "a, at quarter before
midnight, finishing at / o'clock in the
morning.
Great interest is being aroused in the
revival of these old mysteries, which
constitute the earliest form of drama
after the dark ages. A mystery Is
miracle play based upon stories from
the Bible, which was played in the
fourteenth and fifteenth centuries.
They were played either in the chancel
of church, particularly in France, or
on an open truck on six wheels drawn
into the market place, which was the
most frequent method employed in Eng
land. The actors were members Of the
various industrial guilds, and eaen
guild gave one play or sometimes joined
with another in the production OF a
more elaborate one. Thus "lIcrod" or
"Thc Slaughter Of the lnnocents" was
done by the WINNERS Guild, "The
Three Kings" by tho MERGERS Guild
probably because the play called for
handsomer suits the Painters and
Glaciers guilds would perhaps give the
shepherds play, and "Thc Deluge"
would, from a fine sense of aptitude, be
intrustcd to the Watermen's Guild. The
actors were all men and the produc-
tons. needless TO say, extremely simple.
An entire cycle would be played for
the Whitsun performance, beginning
with the creation and ending with a
Jerusalem play, the nativity or adora-
ton being taken out for Christmas and
played in the church.
The three plays which the Greenwich
Village Theatre will produce have been
dug up from the Chester cycle that
was played IN England at the emu OF
the fifteenth century. These are the
most carefully preserved, having been
recorded by George Bellin, the town
beadle of Chester. Director Frank
Conroy hereby proves himself some
what of an archaologist. With the aid
of Roy Mitchell, the technical director
of the Greenwich Village Theatre, he
has taken the fragmentary records OF
these old mysteries and turned them
into excellent acting versions, in which
is promised careful preservation Of
the original spirit of the plays. OF
equal interest will be the arrangement
of medieval music, probably for organ
and voices, which is now being done by
". FRANKIE Harling, the musical direc-
tor of the Greenwich Village Theatre.

sitting among US a man with reddish
wig, dressed like a tramp. Everybody
wondered who he was. When his turn
came, he stepped forward and gave
burlesque impersonation of Salvini's
'Othello' that brought down the house.
The newcomer was David Warileld,
making his New York debut. After
that he was the hit Of the show.

the scene very well. It was a base
ment barber shop, and the various
characters came down the stairs from
the street. Mr.. Warfeld for the first
time appeared in Jewish character. We
grew quite intimate, and often used to
talk over new 'specialties.'
81 remember once telling Mr.. War
field a story about Francis Wilson and
Antonio De Novalles, which he used
later at the Casino Theatre with
Weber and Fields, first changing ii TO
Jewish dialect Mr.. Wilson and | were
then members of the Mccall Opera
Company, and Mr.. De Noyalles had just
come over from Italy to direct. One
day he approached Mr.. Wilson and
asked him what polar bearer was.
"'A polar bearer?' asked Mr.. Will
son.
"Yes,' said Mr.. De Novalles, "a po-
lar bearer

ice said Mr.. Wilson.

twenty-five years ago-the days of John
Russell's comedians at the old Bijou
Theatre. All the oldtimers will remem-

Follies of the time. There was a thin
thread Of plot, a collection Of stars and
specialties. Everybody had to do his

amounted to nothing. We eat on the
