role. and II had been an Inheritance.

name of Adricnne Lecouyeur

First Nights" on Tuesdays

THE latest ruling of he coal
l. administrator permits the the
atres to be open every weekday
except Monday for the next ten
weeks. Considerable confusion
originally existed as to whether
the present five days cessation of
industries applied TO the play
houses. but the visit on Thursday
of leading theatrical men to
Washington elected the explicit
information that only the Monday
closing regulation would be ap-
plicable in the case of musical,
dramatic, vaudeville and motion
picture attractions. All the thea
tres and picture houses which
ordinarily would have been open
Monday will present their bills
for the first time next week on
Tuesday. Hereafter, tn ,refore,
during the operation of Doctor
Garfield's fiat first nights" will
be Tuesday nights.
The foregoing regulations, how
ever, will not be applicable to
those motion-picture houses con-
trolled by the Stanley Company,
as Stanley V. Mastbaum has de-
cided TO take advantage of the
Government ruling permitting
theatres which burn no fuel to be
open on Mondays. An important
group of photoplay houses, there
fore, including the Stanley,
Palace, Arcadia, Victoria and Re
gent, will be unheated, but open to
the public with the regularly
billed attractions on this coming
Monday. For the balance of the
week they will, of course, be duly
warmed, as all the other theatres.
In view of this change of
theatre openings, it is probable
that beginning January 28, the
regular amusement page of the
EVENING PUBLIC LEDGER will APP
pear on Mondays instead Of
Saturdays.
