A Realistic Version
OF "The Sea Wolf"

Hobart Bosworth, in his dramatic
version of Jack London's "The Sea
Wolf" in Keith vaudeville, succeeds in
bringing to the stage all of the Lon
don life and virlity and makes the
playet as grippingly interesting as the
book, and few books obtain the popu-
larity that Jack London's "The Sea
WOLF has had. Mr.. Bosworth has uti-
llzed the London story in film, where it
was generally conceded to be one of the
very best feature pictures ever
screened, and in the dramatization he
has succeeded in retaining all of the
pcturesqueness of the film, while the
dialogue, which is exceedingly forcible,
makes "The Sea Wolf" living thing.
Hobart Bosworth is known as one of
the best character actors of the day.
He has given innumerable fine charac-
terlzations, but none to equal his Wolf
Larsen. Most everybody is familiar
with the Jack London story. Mr.. Bos-
worth begins it with bit of film, show
ing the rescue at sea Of Maud Brew
ster, with the curtain going up on
sectional view of the Ghost, the
tramp ship Wolf Larsen commands.
The VOLTS infatuation for the girl, his
brutal insistence and ultimate death
are told in the sketch as they are in
the book, and the telling is tense
drama.
Mr.. Bosworth, taking the part of
"The Sea Wolf" the strong, masterful
brute, is a living reproduction of the
London creation. In appearance and
action he is a figure that carries a GER
tain sympathetic strain, despite or pos
sibly because of the brutal strength of
the character. The scene on the deck
of the Ghost, with its swinging
boom, its pilot wheel and other shin
appurtenances, is especially realistic,
while the scene in the masters cabin
fairly speaks of the sea.

agents who are working one against
the other underneath what the public
sees,
There are, however, persons on the
inside, as usual, who are willing to
talk, who can't avoid talking; and the
impression on the Rialto seems to be
that the Shuberts have very much the
upper hand Every one admits that
there may be Battle Of the Marine

ditions indicate that the Shuberts are
taking the Paris of X. {: E. 1t would

The Shuberts have made contract
with Al Woods to produce certain
number Of his plays in Shubert thea
tres when they go on the road.
The Selwyns have done the same
thing. They had certain theatres
building for which, it is said, they
needed funds. The gossip on Broad
way indicates that the Shuberts "came
across" with the needed extra money
and the Selwyns, in return, agreed to
book certain number of plays in
Shubert theatres. Gossip, however,
leaves the proviso that none of the
managers need book more than the
stated number of plays with the Shu-
berts. Any number in excess may be
placed anywhere, so says Mrs. Grundy.
Oliver Morosco is the third ally of
the week. But the only alliance he
has made with the Shuberts appears to
be his willingness to produce jointly
with them comedy called "The Blue
Pearl" by Anne Crawford Flexner,
Still, it seems to be tho straw that
shows which way the wind blows.

The question in the minds Of theat-
rical people is: Is it the Battle of the

attack at Verdun? A. c.. S.

Actors In Musical Comedy

Musical comedy isn't so bad as it's
painted, if we are to believe the word
of the four recruits who are ap-
pearing in ooh. Lady! Lady!!" at the
Princess. All of them, up to last week,
had spent their time in dramatic pro-
auctions. They had more or less mis-
givings about musical comedy, but
their work in the Princess production
has pleased them nightly.
The fact that four of the principals
in ooh, Lady! Lady!!" have never ap-
peared in musical comedy before is
quite unusual. They are Constance
Binney, Margaret Dale, Reginald Ma
son and Harry c. Browne.
II used to have the idea that must
cal comedy was low and vulgar" said
Miss Binncy, whose particular forte is
toe dancing. II had been with VIM

cal comedy. But now that l am right
in it I see how mistaken I was. There
is just as much chance for the develop
ment Of artistic work there as any,
where else"
Margaret Dale has found less change
in her work than the others. She does
not sing or dance, but she is enjoy
ing the work thoroughly.

you have into your part, even if it's

that very reason"
Harry c. Browne had much the same
idea.

Facts About Players

Success" in which Brandon lyman
is now appearing Mt the Harris The
afro, adds one more ITO the long list
of plays about the theatre and stage
prevail. 1t really isn't because the pro-
ducers think that the stage and its life
and people have any special fascina-
ton for the outside world that so many
stage plays arc produced. The fact Of
the matter, as explained by one of the
Lieblers, who produced Success" Is
that play about stage people gives
the authors an opportunity to paint
their picture in bold way.
In dealing with people who live by
keeping their emotions alive, who cap
italizc their charm-and charm has
been called weakness-thc playwright
is permitted to deal in emotions in an
elemental way. He is unhampcred by
the necessity Of cloaking the feelings
Of his characters with the usages OF
society, but is able to evoke the re-
sponsivc chords from his audience by
speaking to them in a tongue that can
not be misunderstood. An actor wears
his heart upon his sleeve, for the davis
to peck at if they will.
There was a time when the direct
appeal to the audiences emotions was
quite permi ssble-in fact desirable in
any kind of a play. To-day, when &C
curate portrayal of the conditions of
everyday life is the thing chiefly de-
sired, assembling the emotions to a
certain extent is obligatory, just as it
is in the life about US. But this di-
rect appeal to the heart is as welcome
as ever if it can be made without Of
Tense to the intelligence of the audi
tor. For this reason the playwright,
who deals with high strung, impulsive
people, is privileged to draw tears and
laughs from his audience IN the good,
! old-fashioned way.

Theatrical War Is On
The Rialto Cannot Make Out Whether
Shuberts Are Taking Paris of K. & E.
or Making a Vain Attack on Verdun

This story ought to be written in
two columns side by side.
The first column would contain about
one thousand words expressing the JOY
Of the Shubcrts at having gained dur
ing the past week the bookings of three
producers who we're formerly indepen
dent. The other column of the deadly
parallel would contain the only an
nouncement that Klaw &, Erlanger
were willing to give out: ave have
nothing to say"
During the last few days Of last
week the Rialto was in turmoil. The
theatrical war seemed to have begun in
earnest. and the Shubert offensive ap-
pearcd to have been successful. Yes
terday the announcement came from
the Shubert' lines that. the only neu-
trails left that they cared to win to
their side we're Cohan and Harris and
Belasco. The rest of the so-called in
dependents, they declared, have no
plays that they want.
An interesting feature of the war is
the attitude of Cohan and Harris.
They seem to be in the happiest posi-
ton of all. Their situation seems to
be much the same as that of Greece in
the great world conflict, except that
there are two kings. Sam Harris in
sisted yesterday that, if the Shuberts
had money enough, Cohan and Harris
would be perfectly willing to book with
them. Cohan, however, always having
his little joke. insisted that they we're
seriously thinking Of forming a third
syndicate.
