"The Jaguar's Claws"

Sessue Hayakawa, who plays the
chief role in this play shown at the
Grand last night, is a name that now
speaks for itself. The Japanese actor
is versatile and has always done fine
work. AS the cruel Mexican bandit,
he Is very powerful. The sacrifice of
the Americans wife or daughter by
the placing Of one in the hands Of
the brutal Mexican is we'll conceived.
Tom Moore, Tom Forman, FRITZ
Brunette and Margoria Daw are
enough in themselves to attract fav-
able comment. The play is an x
cellent one and splendidly performed.

First Nights In
Local Theatres
NIhe Fame of the Yukon.o

Dorothy Dalton was we'll chosen for
the lead in this play, which is the cur
rent offering at the Foto Play theater.
Always vivacious, she has combined
in this film vivacity and seriousness,
which win the spectators sympathy.
AS the queen dancer in an Alaskan
cafe, she is brilliant and as a repent
ant woman, she is equally appealing.
The scenery in the picture 10 beautiful
and the details managed. The play,
which is by M. Katterjohn, is one Of
the best Alaskan subjects seen in
months. It has a thrilling story that
grips because Of its humanness and
virifty.

"The Tiger Woman"

Tbeda Bara perhaps has never done
better work than in The Tiger Wo-
man." which was shown last night at
the Met. AS the Princess Petrovitch,
h gets a world of fine acting into
the role Of a hard, exacting woman,
teeming with ambition and lacking
the sensitiveness of the ordinary wo-
a Miss Bara's acting is unusually
restrained and effective. The director
has been equal to his task and the
supporting cast is Strong.

author is Phillip Moeller, one Of the
founders of the Washington Square
Players. The comedy deals with love
affairs in the early days Of George
Sands greatness, and is said TO give
a striking picture of artistic and lit
erary life in Europe nearly hundred
years ago. Among the lovers are de
Musset, Hcine, List and Chopin.

Tidings of the Week
In Theatreland
By J. A. Pierce

Theatre managers generally are
confident that business will pick up
gradually as the season progresses,
and are preparing all along the line
to offer stronger attractions. In the
meantime, nothing more is being said
about a reduction of actors salaries.
1t is understood that the United Man
ayers Protective Association will take
no action toward that end. At the
motion picture houses and at the
burlesque theatres, also, it is assert
ed that business has not fallen off as
a result of the new admission tax or
because of any business depression
that may exist
Tho motion picture houses that
have increased their prices from 10
to 20 cents, from 25 to 80 cents and
from IS TO So cents are actually MAX
ing a profit on the tax. In the cases
Of three motion picture houses in New
York it may be easily calculated that
these increases mean an addition to
gross receipts running anywhere
from $3.50 to $500 a day in excess Of
the tax, which means that the public,
in addition to paying the tax, is pay
ing these theatres approximately $780,
900 a year more than before the law
went into effect.
Instead of raising prices the Shu-
berts have lowered them at the the
aires which they control. Al the Ca
sine, where ooh Boy," after nearly a
year at the little Princess Theatre,
goes on Monday night to give larger
audiences an opportunity, the orchestra
prices will be $3.50 and 81, and there
will be a bargain matinee every
Wednesday, when the seats will be
only 81. ooh Boy!" has been per-
formed more than 300 times, and five
companies are playing it on tour. The
musical comedy has already made

One of the amusing scenes In "The
Pipes of Pam" Edward Childs Carpen-
ter's comedy at the Hudson Theatre,
concerns the revolt of Redford, a
painter with a truly artistic soul,
played by Norman Trevor, against do
ing portraits of uninteresting persons
which his daughter Ann insists are
required by the state of the exchequer.
The torture of the artistic soul is re-
vealed when Burton Churchill enters in
the character Of Higbee, husband to a
lady whose portrait has just been fin
ished, to request certain improvements.
Ann is played by Rita Stanwood. She
is present with her sutton, Max, played
by Reginald Mason, who is quite ire
pressible.
Ann-Daddy, where have you been7
Redford-Lost In department store
hunting bit of brocade, my dear!
How are you, Higbee7 Want to see
your lady's portrait?
Higbee-Yes! That's why dropped
in!
Redford-Well, Higbee, it's done!
I've put in everything--even the hooks
and eyes-but unfortunately they don't
show. Mrs. Higbee tell YOU she
likes il?
Higbee-Yes, she likes it--but there's
one thing we want done.
Redford-Only one thing? Ihcredi-
blel
Higbee-That's tho way my wife
looked ten years ago!
Redford-Did I only knock off ten
years?
Ann--rhat's the way Mrs. Higbee or
dered it. Besides, she wanted to look
thinner!
Redford-And was careful TO pare
her down to scale! How many pounds
do you suppose got of!
Max-About sixty!

comedy, translated from the French of
Callvalet de Flers and Arene. which
ran for nearly two years in Paris under
the title of lie Roi," at the Theatre
des Varieties, where it was produced in
1908. 1t had not been seen outside of
Paris until Mr.. Ditrichstein presented
it in Cleveland two weeks ago.
"The Star Gazer" is from the pen
of Cosmo Hamilton, with lyrics By
Matthew C. Woodward and music by
Lehar. The scene is laid in a young
ladies' seminary at Bath, England, in
1880. The star gazer Is an astrologer,
the brother Of one of the young ladies',
who becomes engaged TO three OF her
friends, but when he marries one of
them his troubles are not at an end.
The play Is described as sort of
"Pomander Walk" with music.
Hedwig Reicher will appear at the
Irving Place Theatre in Bernard
Shaw's Der Arzt am Scheidewege"
("Tbe Doctors Dilemma") for a weeks
engagement, beginning Wednesday
next.

1t wouldn't take long, would It?
Redford-The quickest way to do it
would be TO punch two holes in the
canvas and hang the things around her

Higbee-I'm serious, Redfordl
Redford-So am I! You ordered a
portrait. Now it seems you want a
Christmas tree
Higbee-But I'm willing to pay you
extra for the pearls.
Ann-lt isn't a question Of paying,
Mr. Higbee. You see, daddy evidently
thinks the picture is better without
them.
Redford-I wouldn't go so far as to
say that, but, see here, HiGbee, when
I've finished portrait I've finished it,
if you know what mean!
Higbee-Suppose | shouldn't want

David Belasco has revealed the secret
of his effective realism. He declares
that his religion and creed in art Is TO
hold the mirror up to nature.
81 have carefully observed the fast
succeeding schools of scenic art" said
he, watching one fad in the theatre
follow another into oblivion. Some
times have found ideas that had their
inception in the verities of creation,
but usually the scenic faddist presents
only a human concept that comforts
the work of God. There is but one
master-artist; but one Creator whose
work is worthy of imitation, and that
Creator is God. The novelty Of some
new idea may insure its popularity for
a time, but 1t has been my experience
that there is no permanency in any ar
tistic effect that does not truthfully
portray the actual verities Of human
and natural life.
81 am quite aware of the claim of the
student of impressionism that too
great realism clogs the wheels of the
onlooker's imagination, but I can cite
a dozen productions Of my own in
proof of the fallacy Of such a theory.
] can think of none, however, that bet
ter illustrates the point than Tiger

to some day hold so clear a mirror up
to nature as to perfectly reflect the
beauty, the enchantment, the mystery
of her varying moods. | have had
some big opportunities for this accom-
plshment, such as in The Girl Of the
Golden West but never one that pre-
scented the possibilities afforded by this
story OF primitive force and purity set
in that clean. cool vastness of the
Canadian woods.
"To transfer its atmosphere to a
New York stage one must know the
land. But that is true of any country,
and is the reason for the most Of my
travels and sojourns in foreign places.
1t is not enough that producer know
the topography of a section of country
in which the action of his drama takes
place. 1t is not enough TO know the
nature of its trees and its general char
acteristcs. To successfully transfer
its atmosphere one must know a place
in all it's moods; must watch it under
the gold Of its sunlight; study it by
moonlight; know it in storm, sense it
at twilight, at dawn, and again at
blacklist midnight; breathe il into his
very soul; understand il; love it. And
il he does not these things all the
technical knowledge in the world will
