Women prominent in trade union

effort to throw the weight of their
organizations most effectively into
war work. Many women are assist

I'VE are encouraging trade union
women 10 develop their abilities TO

Melinda Scott. a member OF the
American Federation of Labor mis-
sion TO England and France. II
women are not getting proper rec

are not doing their share.
There is distinct place for
women trade union leaders for they
can approach their own sex and un-
derstand the problems confronting
women in industry. Moreover their
appeal to women may have more
weight than would the same appeal
from a man"
Miss Scott is a member Of the ad-

national defense. and state chair
man OF the New Jersey committee

that war production can best be

New Brighton Theatre
To Open May ~

Greater New York's seaside theatrical
activity is scheduled for resumption on
Monday afternoon, May 81, when the
New Brighton Theatre, at Ocean Park
way, Brighton Beach, inaugurates its
tenth regular season.
George Robinson, general manager,
under whose direction the oceanside
playhouse has enjoyed its greatest
period of popularity, promises for the
coming summer a rigid adherence to
the major vaudeville policy adopted
when the theatre was first opened, and
to which it has been successfully and
exclusively devoted ever since.
Visitors to the seashore will find the
theatre undisturbed by the big fire that
threatened to devastate Coney Island
last Thanksgiving Day. 1t was gener-
ally conceded at the time that the un-
relenting brick walls of the playhouse
checked the blaze and saved the island.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1918-05-12

Chauncey Olcott will be the grouchy
Irish soldier; James K. Hackett will Be
the deep voiced Canadian; o. P. Heggie
will be the Cockney; Julia Arthur will
play the Nurse, and George MacFarlane
will be the Scotchman.
In the last scene Mrs. Fiske, for
whom there was no role in the play,
will deliver a stirring Red Cross ap-
peal, and Nine. Eleanora de Cisneros,
mezzo-soprano from the Chicago Opera
Company, will sing the national an
thems of the Allied nations. During
the intermission between the second
and third acts Burr Mcintosh will auc-
ton off souvenir programme.
The enterprise is perhaps the most
important contribution ever made by
the theatrical profession Of America to
a charitable cause. All of the artists
are not only contributing their time
and services entirely free Of charge,
but they are paying all their personal
expenses as we'll.
Reports from Washington, Baltimore
and Philadelphia, which are to be Wis
tied during the first days of the week
and where the boxes and first choice
seats were auctioned off, indicate that
the receipts for single performance
in each city will average about $50, 900,
thus establishing new high records.

An Ugly Duckling Turns Swan

Men like Cohan and Harris, William
A. Brady, A. II. Woods and number of
other prominent producers have some
times picked up failures and turned
them into successes. Fortunes are
made in the theatre on plays consider
ed absolutely worthless at first. The
latest instance Is "The Man Who
Stayed at Home" the German spy
drama now running at the Forty-eighth
Street Theatre.
Most New York people know that
"The Man Who Stayed at Home" was
produced in America three years ago
under the title Of "The White Feather ~
1t revealed the workings Of the German
spies in England. But America was not
in the war at that time. In conse-
quence the play was failure, and
William Brady shelved it.
Henry Jewett, director of the Copley
Theatre, Boston, revived "The White
Feather last summer under its origi-
nal title. 1t ran for eight months. Two
weeks later William Moore Patch, di.
rector of the Pitt Theatre, Pittsburgh
saw the play. He took the next train
for New York and purchased the
American rights for song.
"The Man Who Stayed at Home" wa!
produced at the Pitt Theatre, in Pitts
burgh, on October IA of last year;

been heard of in Pittsburgh. Mr..
Patch then took the play to Chicago for
an engagement of eighteen weeks in
the Playhouse, all the time he could
get. Finally came the New York pro-
duction of the play at the Forty
eighth Street Theatre. Next winter
Mr. Patch will send six COM
panies on tour. the chief reason
for the success of "The Man
Who Stayed at Home" may be found in
the fact that Mr.. Patch has rewritten
many portions of the play and based
its present action on the movement of
American troops through England on
their way to France. He has, so to
speak, grabbed time by the forelock
and made "The Man Who Stayed at
Home" the most timely play on the
war the American stage has yet
produced.
But the most interesting part of the
romance is yet to come. 1t seems that
Nh. Patch's associates in Pittsburgh,
who are all men Of considerable wealth
couldn't see "The Man Who Stayed at
Home" quite through his eyes, and long
ago refused to have anything to dc
with it. This was absolutely true when
it came to producing the piece in New
York. So he had to go out and dig fol
himself. From present indications il
, looks as though the result of his
digging would be theatrical golc
mine.
1t seems that Mr.. Patch lost thou.
sands of dollars on "The Man Who
Stayed at Home" before he turned ove1
cent. But he had feeling all along
that it was only question of time be-
fore the American people would awaken
to the true dangers of German prop
uganda in this country and to the
tremendous difficulties that lay aheat
Of the Allies before Germany was
beaten. All these facts are very for
chilly outlined in "The Man Who Stayed
