War Brings a
Trend Toward
The Occult
Carter Back After World
Tour and Escape From
the Hun

The appearance of the magician Car
ter the Great at the Belmont Theatre
has double significance for New York
City. 1t is the first time that a presti-
digitator has played here, except in the
the inauguration of the Belmont Thea
tre as permanent home of magic in
New York.
The metropolis has never had thea
tire devoted exclusively and continu-
ously to conjuring. London has its
home Of magic in st. Georges Hall in
Oxford Circus, formerly located in
Egyptian Hall. Paris has several times
had a home given over exclusively to
the art of legerdemain. If Carter's
plans are successful, other magicians
will be invited to be guests of the
theatre.
Through history we find the art of
magic playing its part. The Bible fire.
quently refers to the magicians, wise
men aud sorcerers. The Book of Exo-
dus, for instance, refers to the ma
gicians Of Egypt initiating certain
miracles of Moses by their enchant-
: ments. The priests Of Egypt, Greece
ard Rome resorted to magic. Their
principal illusion was the throwing of
spectral images upon the smoke of
burning incense by means of concave
metal mirrors. Magic played its part
in Persia, India, China and through the
Far East
The ancient Romans gave frequent
exhibitions. The Oracle at Delphi
was skilfuIly contrived bit of necro-
NANCY. The Egyptian statue Of Mem
non, which uttered weird sounds at
New-York tribune., 1918-04-07

sunrise and sunset, was another Adolf
ly contrived work Of the priests, and
in the Middle Ages we find Merlin,
who was contemporary with the Saxon
invasion of Britain in the latter part
of the fifth century.
The art of magic survived the bar
tarism and ignorance of the Dark
Ages, and reappeared in the so-called
modern Italian school of Jonas, andre
letti and Antonio Carlotti Yet in
good Queen Elizabeth's reign con-
Jurers were classed with ruffians, bias
phemers, thieves, vagabonds, Jews,
Turks, heretics, pagans and sorcerers.
The real era of modern magic dates
back to the beginning of the nine
teenth century. J. E. Robert -Houdin
attracted the attention of the world
with his soirees fantastiques at his
Temple of Magic in Paris in the '40s.
Magic attained a remarkable popu-
larity in England in the '6Os, with the
appearance of John Nevil Maskelyne,
who achieved his first fame by invent
disappeared and reappeared. Maske-
lyme, with fellow magician named
Cook, opened London's home of magic
in Egyptian Hall, originally in Oxford
Street.
A number of notable .magicians ap-
peared during the last decade. Buatier
de Kolta was a London sensation at
Egyptian Hall. In succession came
such sleight-of-hand experts and con-
jurers as Blitz, John Henry Anderson,
Heller, Hermann the Great and Keller
Every great war of the worlds hisA
tory has been followed by an unusual
interest in magic, spiritualism and
other so-called phenomena. War, with
its grim toll of death, brings trend
toward the occult. All sorts of fam
tastic stories are told in Europe, such
as the one of the spirit of Joan of Arc
rallying the French in the early days
of the war. Throughout the continent
spiritualism is arousing keen interest
Carter was playing special engage
ment in Liege when the Kaiser's war
machine started to rip it's way through
Belgium. He barely escaped to Paris
with his company, part of his equip
ment and his trained lion. He has
just returned from an eight-year tour
Of the world.
New-York tribune., 1918-04-07

| hangings, upholstery and lighting
fixtures have been designed and ex-
ecuted with a feeling of elegance and
individuality. One particularly notice
able feature of the decoration is the
manner in which the panels of the in
terror doors and face of the balcony
and gallery fronts have been treated
These panels, painted by hand, are in
the delicate design and coloring of
the Adam period.
The stage is equipped with the most
recent and complete counterweight
system in the country. In fact, this
is the only theatre wherein cyclo-
rama and side. tab sets can be oper-
ated together by counterweight sys-
tenn. The counterweight system is
worked entirely from the stage floor
on the prompt side. This practically
eliminates the need of men in the
fly galleries and the usual stage sig
mailing and calling. The lighting is
as complete as science can make it..
Ventilation is accomplished in the most
modern way. Fresh air is forced into
a plenum chamber into the orchestra,
and from there it finds it's way to the
auditorium and through mushroom
vents, one of which is placed under
each seat.
The orchestra pit is arranged with
louvred openings in the top whereby
the sound is diffused throughout the
house. One novel feature of the or
chestra is the installation of a choral
cello, which is operated by the pianist
in the pit. but which will produce
music at distant points of the build
ing. For instance, one unit of chimes
has been hung above the ceiling of the
auditorium, and when in operation will
sound like the chimes in some distant
belfry, the sound coming through the
perforated ornamental centre portion
of the ceiling. Another unit has been
placed in the lounge downstairs, and
| instead of the usual discordant bell
the theatregoers will be reminded of
the approaching rise of the curtain by
soft strains of chimes

Yearning for True

Soul of VIM. Hodge

William Hodge, who is appearing in
The Lee Shubert production of "A Cure

Theatre, is just as native as Main

There is no veneer about him, no af-
fectation. He is just a natural fellow.

towns and villages throughout the

customed to broad spaces, broad visions
and broad life.
"Why must our managers continually
seek the barren fields of Europe for
material for stage entertainment ?" he
asked. eve need only to look about us
to see what a promise for the future
the land of our birth holds for us.
And the field is practically untouched.
One or two playwrights have endeav-
ored to put the life of certain sections
OF the country upon the stage, notably
Alice Brown in children Of the Earth
and George AIDE, who has humorously
presented phases of Middle Western
small town life. But the playwright
who understands and appreciates Amer
lean small town life is yet to come. the
man who can get into the very soul of
America and disscct and present for
our pleasure its aims and ideals.
IF any one will stop to think he will
realize that there has never been
single play presented on our stage
really representative of the small town.
and yet our small town is essentially
and distinctly American. 1t has been
entirely disregarded as material for the
stage.
u say entirely, although a few Of
our dramatists have made attcmpts in
this direction, because they have pre-
sentcd the small town as Broadway be-
Iieves it to be. OF course, incorrectly
and absurdly, with fearfully exaeeer-
ated characters and impossible situa-
tions.
Il have attempted to portray certain

The New Miller Theatre

Henry Miller's Theatre is at 124 to
1870 West Forty-third Street, just east
of Broadway. 1t was the intention of
Mr.. Miller and his architects to pro-
duce building of unusual and indi-
yidual appearance. Ground was broken
over year ago. The building, includ-
ing the stage and dressing rooms, as
we'll as the decorative schemes, curtain
and furnishings, were designed and
supervised by Paul R. Allen and Harry
Creighton Ingalls,, architects. Many of
Mr.. Miller's ideas are embodied in the
structure. F. Burial Hoffman, jr.,
now in the army, was associated in
the early studies of the building The
decorative painting. curtain and hang
ings were executed by Unit and
Wickes.
The Georgian facade of the building
is in Persian red brick, laid Flemish
bond, trimmed in white at the doors
and windows, as we'll as with a crown

dows, which have not been associated
usually with the street facade of
theatres. are found on the second and
third floors. The offices are on the
mezzanine and the rear Of the balcony
on the floor above. The interior of
the building has been treated as were
the quaint old English painted rooms
of the Adam period, which produces
q more interesting and intimate atmos-
phere than one customarily finds in
the average playhouse. The color
scheme is old ivory, picked out in gold
leaf and colors. There is an impress
sion of warmth and cosiness, yet the
seating capacity of the theatre is
rearly one thousand.
The seats arc in brown wood with
figured blue tapestry upholstering
The especially woven high pile Axmin-
stcr carpet, which covers the entire
floor, has a black background with a
pattern in colors, a radical departure
from the one-tone carpets used in
