of the National Theatrical Allied Inter-
ests Committee of the Liberty Loan
leaders of the various branches of the
amusement world and representatives
of theatrical clubs met in his Office in
the Palace Theatre Building on Friday
to organize for the fourth bond drive,
starting Saturday, September %, with
the purpose of exceeding the $65,O00,-
900 in sales by the theatres of the
United States in the last Liberty Loan
campaign. There were present Marc
Klaw, Henry W. Savage, Sam Fl. Harris,
George M. Cohan, A. Paul Keith, David
Belasco. James K. Hackett, Reed A.
Albee, Charles Burnham, Edgar Selwyn,
Maurice Goodman, Martin Beck, Will

i. G. Lauder, jr., representing the
legitimate and vaudeville theatres; Sam

ures; Edwin Arden, the Lambs Club;

committee and Governor BENJAMIN
Strong the Federal Reserve Bank of

In calling the meeting to order Chair
man Albee spoke in high praise of the
way the theatre men had worked
together in the last drive. The
managers were all in enthusiastic ac-
cord with Mr.. Albec, and upon the mo-
ton of Marc Klaw it was voted to con-
tinue the organization of the last drive
throughout the next, and that Chair
man Albee be empowered to reappoint
the committees which did such wonder
full work last spring The unanimous
opinion was that the conduct of the
third drive should be the pattern for
the fourth. The third drive put the
theatre definitely into the ranks of big
business, the sales being third on the
list of giant industries, and the show
men gathered yesterday in Mr.. Albee's
Office pledged themselves to leave moth
ing undonc to make the fourth Liberty
Loan gigantic success in the New
York theatres and throughout the ma
ton wherever their interests extend.
The headquarters of the Theatrical
Allied Interests Committee will be in
the Longacre Building. There will be
a speakers and entertainment bureau,
literary and press department., with
full supplies of printed matter and
posters; expert financial and banking
bureau, Offices Of the Stage Women's
War Relief, and department for sup
plying bond salesmen and saleswomcn
wherever needed.

in Her Sleep" at The Playhouse, is a
son of Joseph Jefferson, Of Grin Van

Mr. Jefferson made his debut ION the
stage at the age of eight with his
father, and played with him for fifteen
years in Grip Van Winklc," "The
Cricket on the Hearth" Lend Me Five
Shillings," etc. In later wears he
starred on the road in productions of

"The Better 'Ole"
Will Shouu Us
Trench Life

There has been much speculation as
to the meaning of the title, "The Bet
ter ole" which was selected by Cap
tain Bruce Bairnsfather, the soldier
artist, for his first play, which he
wrote in collaboration with Captain
Arthur Elliott, and which is to be pre-
scented on October 10 at the Green
wich Village Theatre by Mr.. and Mrs.
Coburn. But it is made clear by Will.
lam Allen White in his recently pub
lished book, "The Martial Adventures
Of Henry and Me-" Mr.. White saw the
play in London, where it is still run
ming, by the way and here is how he
describes it:
"'The Better ole farce comedy
with few musical skits in it, staged
entirely at the front, could be put on
in any American town and the fun
would raise the roof
"A soldier comes splashing down
the trench. His comradc cries, Say,

a she'll hole, while the bombs are crash
ing over him and dirt threatens to

but buried alive by the dirt from an
other she'll, and Bert exclaims, Say,

And so it goes for a whole evening,
while Bert making love to an inter-
mlnable string of girls at each place
where he is billeted at the front, gives
away scores of precious 1ockets with
his mothers hair in them, and ALT for

house where The Better ole is given
The boys in khaki jam the theatre and

The authors call their play "a frag-
ment from France in two explosions,

played by Mr.. Coburn, and Mrs. Coburn
will appear as Victoire, pretty French
girl to whom Bert, the ubiquitous
lover, pays devoted court. The rest Of
the large cast is being carefully Sc

TENDER %
For several years the former dia-
mond favorite has been appearing be-
lore audiences in vaudeville, motion
pictures and dramatic offerings, and
gaining experience for more ambitious
undertakings. His debut as "Slippery
Mugs" is easily the most notable
achievement of his acting career.
1t is only to be expected that little
Helen Reynolds, the new roller-skating
star of Charles Dillingham's every
thing" at the Hippodrome, should give
an exhibition on rollers which rivals in
grace and daring that of the ,incom-
parable Charlotte on ice. For Helen.
who is only seventeen, having finished
school last June, is the daughter of
Nellie Donegan, woman roller-skating
champion of Europe, Australia, Great
Britain and America, and of Earl
Reynolds, who for many years held the
American championship for men on
rollers. Her father and mother an
pear with the newcomer at the Hippo
drome, and the family makes up a
whlrlwind trio which is setting new
pace for roller skaters.
Charlotte herself recognized the
genius of Nellie Donegan as a roller
skater, for when the latter, with her
husband, was filling an engagement at
the Winter Garden, in Berlin, the great
ice skater came twenty-six times with
her mother to watch her skate, and
later adapted many of her figures to
Ice skating. Subsequently in Paris
Vernon Castle and his wife, then ap-
pearlng at one of the tiny side street
cabarets, came many times to watch
Reynolds and Donegan in their skating
act, and Castle himself declared that
many of their dancing steps we're taken
from the intricate figures worked out
on rollers by the gifted pair, both of
whom are ballroom dancers themselves
of the first order.
Helen Reynolds, their daughter. has
already scored a tremendous hit in the
brief time since her debut at the Hip
podrome. She has skated on rollers
since she could walk, but her parents
have kept her in school and delayed
her professional appearance until she
became finished artist, equal in her
sphere to the eonderful Charlotte I'M

Hobble ever saw was "The Easiest

many rebuFs he continued plugging
