Plays and Players

-Four new plays of varying interest
and design were announced yesterday.
The firm of Elliott. Comstock & Gest
are planning TO present "The Future"
and not a man Of the concern but be-
lievcs that the piece will be senss-
ton. Written by Chicago newspaper
man with more than his share of this
professions imagination, the scenes
are laid in Berlin after the war and
show the Kaiser a prisoner. The press
department firmly holds TO the theory
that rs the British army captured Bag
dad following the presentation OF "Chu
Chin Chow" and Jerusalem after "Thc
Wanderer" was playing, IT only needs
"The Future" on our boards TO enable
the Allies TO march into Germany's
capital.
Margaret Anglin, who has not been
seen this season in New York, will ap-
pear Christmas Eve at the Playhouse
in a comedy By +. Tennyson Jesse and
II. NJ. Harwood. As the title is "Bil-
leted," these playwrights fall under n
just suspicion.

distinguished manner he reserves for
the drama and try 90 appear as II he
belonged between song cues and twill
ing skirts. The lyrics of Going Up"
are by Otto IIarbach and James Mont
gomery and the music was furnished By
Louis 4. Hirsch. In the cast are Edith
Day, Marion Sunshine and Donald
Meek.
Willie Baxter, Lola Pratt and the
rest of the Seventeen" characters are
10 be seen on the stage shortly after
Christmas. The producer, theatre and
date were left or the announcement
with scrupulous care. That Stuart
Walker frat produced the play last
summer in indianapolis, however, was
fact freely admitted.
"The Conan Revue of 1919 is due on
New Years Eve. so that the audience
may resolve TO see it again. Everything
about the revue was done By Conan

Irving Berlin write just 20 relieve the

A trench during a relief is no good
place for a demonstration, but some of
the poilus paused 70 shake hands with
the Americans. There were rumors
that one or two doughboys had been

not true, for IL would not be the sort of

Although the trenches Tor the mo<t

there was noise enough to attract At
tention over the way. The Germans do
not seem 10 have known what was go
ing on. but they wanted TO know. and
they sent up a number of star shells.
These are the shells which explode to
release a bright light suspended from
little silk parachute. These nara
chutes hung in the air for several min
utes and brightly illumined No Mans
Land. Il was impossible to keep the
Americans entirely quiet then. S1me
said "Oh.' and others exclaimed 'Ah!
after the manner of crowds at fire
works show. Persfage Of this kind
helped TO make the men feel at home.
Indeed. the trenches did not seem alto
gether unfamiliar. for they had all been
drilled for hours in practice trenches
back in camp, and had even spent the
night in them.

RECRUITS WANTED TO
JOIN THE HOME GUARD
Meeting Tonight at Convention
Hall; Captain Rook Gets
Commission.

One hundred and fifty men between
the ages of 10 and so years are wanted
to Join the Tulsa Home guards, an offl-
cial orga nization that is to take the
place OF the National guard for the
duration of the war.
A handful of men have been drill
ing for some time, but no attempt has
been made to increase the size or the
organization for the reason that the
guards were never officially sane
toned by the governor and the ad1u-
tant general. Now. however. L. w.
Rook has been commissioned captain
of the company and blank oaths for
the members to sign have been re-
ceived. The county council of de-
fense will hold a special meeting this
, afternoon at 2 O'Clock to present Cap
tain Rook with his commission and
to discuss plans for placing the home
guards upon a permanent footing
without further delay. Rifles and
uniforms will be ordered at once.
The physical requirements for mem
bership in the home guards are not
so rigid as in the United States army.
Older men are wanted. Those desiring
to enlist are asked to report tonight.

and stage beauty, leaped into fame
overnight five years ago when she
took New York by storm with her

acter of Mary Turner in within the

underworld life in the big metropolis.
She was at once heralded as one Of
Americas strongest emotional ac-
tresses and has amply sustained her
reputation since. From Mary Turner
she went to the stage drama of Rob-
ert w. Chambers Common Clay and
created the role of Ellen Neal. In this
she added to her laurels. Then she
starred in Lilac Time" which she
wrote herself in collaboration with
Jane Murfin. This was followed by
l"Daybreak," which also came from her
and Miss Murfin's joint efforts. Both
these were successful on Broadway.
Goldyn induced Miss Cowl to join
it's galaxy of stars and she has just
made her first appearance on the
