Tiger Rose" Returns
To the Manhattan

Tiger Rose" has had difficulty in
withdrawing from New York. When it
was given its New York premier tn
first of October year ago. Mr.. Belasco
prepared for long run by arranging
for it to tenant the Lyceum Theatre
for eleven months. When September
approached, however, Tiger Rose was
still playing to an overlooking house,
and its producer was put to the neces-
sity of removing it to the Manhattan
Opera House to make way at the
Lyceum for the prearranged engage
ment of Otis Skinner. In the Man
haitian It continued for four more
weeks, at the conclusion of which Mr..
Belasco was forced 10 close it's New
York engagement in order to fill his
contracts in Philadelphia and Boston.
After three nights in Philadelphia,
where Tiger Rose" was received vel
comngly, the playhouses of that city
were closed because of the influenza
endemic, Mr.. Belasco Immediately
grasped the opportunity thus afforded
Elm to return Tiger Rose" to the
Manhattan Opera House. where it again
resumes its New York run to stay until
Philadelphia lifts its ban from the
theatres.

cisco, and it was there that she made
her first appearance on the stage, at
the age of four. Subsequently she
went to school. Then she Joined a
stock company in her native city, and
alter couple of hard working years
there she came to New York to be the
reading woman Of the Donnelly Stock
Company at the old Murray Hill The
atre, when that organization was in it's
heyday and the Mecca of every
matinee girl in town. Miss Crews soon
became an enormous favorite with the
regular attendants of the theatre, and
great was their grief when after g
couple of seasons it was announced that
George c. Tyler had engaged her to
play an important part in "Mcrely
Mary Ann,' the Israel Zangwll COM
edy IN which he was preparing to pre-
sent Eleanor Robson as star.
Miss Crews's progress from that
time on has been steady.

By Haywood Broun

Every now and again our past rises
up and jabs US in the eye. This time
it has the assistance Of the Hattons.
An article has been called to our at
tention, as the saying is, called The
Happy Hattons" in the current Gamer
Jean Magazine" Here we find Mrs.
frederic Hatton explaining:
ave write about life as we see it and
knew it. Some of the critics have ac-
cused US, at times, of not knowing what
We were talking about, but the in
stances they picked out were unfortu-
nate, There was one New York critic.

taking a Long Island house party as
the setting for upstairs and Down. we
Understanding to him-chosen cross
section of life with which we were not
familiar The critic in question hap
pened to have been baseball reporter
before he became a dramatic reviewer,
so POSSIBLY his own experience of Long
Island house parties had been limited.
Whereas, it also happened that just be-
fore we wrote Upstairs and Down,
Frederic and l had been guests at some
Of those same parties
At first We considered a defence. We
lo .,
plerty of baseball players who would
gladly testify that we didn't know any
thing about the game. But a defence
would involve scrutiny. The Hattons
might go further and we would fare
worse. They might unearth the fact
that before being a baseball reporter
we were copy reader
Confession seemed best. We were
baseball reporter before we ever re-
viewed a play, and this undoubtedly had
much to do with our surprise and dis
may at the society plays of the Hat
tons. While they were at their house
parties on Long Island we were tray
cling with the Giants. If we had only
been able to change places! How much
better it would have been for US to
see life in the rough, to have mingled
with these people of the Hatton plays
emancipated from all social graccs.
Life with the Giants undoubtedly
made US over-finicky. Thus, we found
it impossible to accept the authenticity
Of Upstairs and Down" and still more
Of "The Walk-offs." None Of the men
in either drama spoke in the same we'll
modulated tones as Mr.. Jeff Tesreau.

VI Ihe Walk-offs" bit lady friend
on the mouth we confess to having been
Seareied. We knew that our old nal
Mr.. Heinie Zimmerman. would neve,
'hink of roughing up a lady upon such
SNORT acquaintance. Later we noted
mentally that the members of the
Union Club and the other gcnteel char
ac'ers presented by the Hattons were
ever so much more boisterous than N.Y.
am Thorpe, the Red Indian from Car

ers OF Mr.. McGraw acted in tho man

acters MIR. McGraw would have imme.

redemption" is rather curious
name for the interesting play at the
plymouth Theatre. 1t hardly expresse,
the fundamental idea of Tolstov,s NAV
The great Russians drama concerns
the revolt of soul which is main
tanned with great courage and con-
slstency, but which fails for all that
In spite of the dramatic heights which
Redemption" attains, Tolstov has NOT
been able to abandon entirely the man
ner CT the novelist. We get only hints
OF just what it was which BROUGHT
about the revulsion of feeling in Fedva
toward his wife. 1t is easy enough to
grasp the case, but the presentation Of
this particular phase is not dramatic.
After that the story is told almost
entirely in terms of drama, in spite of
the fact that we are dealing with a
struggle within the soul of a man. We
are able to watch this struggle partly
on account Of the brilliant acting of
John Barrymore and partly because
, the inner struggle Is brought to the
surface every now and again by some
outer conflict.
Mr.. Barrymore has busy evening
Few actors have been called upon to
play any role in which a character was
more buffeted physically or mentally
Nor does Barrymore slight his task. His
death at the very end of the NAV is
one of the most violent bits of physical
action which has been brought to the
stage. William Dooley himself will
envy Mr.. Barrymore's striking leap and

Plays and Players

Jane Oaker's teary childhood
troubled her parents exceedingly, and
it was only when she was graduated
that the secret of her malady was re
vealed. Jimmy wanted to be a tragcdi
cnne! The family drew long, aggrc-
gate breath. That was pretty bad,
they admitted, but, anyhow, the child
would have a vent for her chronic
gricfstricken state of mind
So Jane Oaker went on the stage.
Beginning with James X. Hackctt, she
went over the jumps OF all the sad
roles in tho classics. Two season
later, with William Farnum, she CON
tnued in the same sort of roles wal
Lowing happily in sobs and unuttcraulo
sorrow. And so she lived until sonle
one persuaded her to play a omcly
role in "The Dummy" Half neartcdly
Miss Oakcr began to play her part.
Then as she heard the unwonted sound
Of laughter a miracle happened. Hex
love for downheartcd hcroines died on
the spot. She resolved hencoforth to
court Joy and pantheistic poin. OF
view.
This season Miss Oakcr has the part
of a gay dvorc6e dancer in "Lghtin'."
Each line she speaks brings a laugh
from tho house. Her fount Of sorrow
has dried up at its source. She dc
clares that Polyanna is dcspairs own

C. Haddon Chambers has long
memory. Several seasons ago his "rho
Tyranny Of Tears" was revived at the
Empire Theatre, where it WAS originally
produced in this country by Charles
Frohman nearly twenty years ago. IN
the revival John Drew played the lead
ing part, just as he did in the original
production, and his leading woman was
Miss Laura Hope Crews. Ny Chambers
came to America especially to see this
new performance Of his play and he
was nightly impressed by Miss Crews's
splendid performance of the tcarfu
wife. The result was that when he
came to cast his new comedy, "Thc
Saving Grace" in which Cyril Maudo
is now playing at the Empire, he in
sisted that Miss Crews should be en-
gagged to mpersonatc the fond, rather
foolish little wife in this piece, too.
Miss Crews is native Of San Fran

LUDERDORFF FORCED OUT

Authoritative Reports Says the En-
tents Terms Call For cermany's
Surrender.
1t is permissible. to state that the
allied armistice terms have been
framed
The armistice terms to Germany,
which have been decided upon, call
for the evacuation of Alsace-LOrraine,
and contain other conditions equiva-
lent TO surrender, according to au-
thoritative reports
From n German military viewpoint,
II is expected the terms will prove
unacceptable, but it is thought the
political situation may force their
acceptance.

quartermaster general because the
military authorities were placed under
civil control The retiring general, an
Exchange Telegraph despatch from
Copenhagen adds, has returned to

Emperor William has no intention
of ahdicating, but is willing, if it is
for the good Of the people, 10 Ordain
that his rights shall be reframed, ac-
cOrding to a statement attributed to
German court circles. The emperor is
said TO have remarked:
"I will not abandon my sorely tried
people, but, if necessary, I am ready
to become something like hereditary
president of a German republic like
the kings Of England, Belgium and
Italy"
President Wilson'S note to Germany
was printed textually in the German
newspapers Thursday evening and
Friday morning. The Vossische lei
tung, Of Berlin, printed the English
text alongside the note in German.
Aside from the Junker organs,
which proclaimed the necessity Of
every man coming to the front for
the emperor and the empire, many
apparently contemplate
without excessive lament the prOspec
tive disappearance of the HohenzOl-
lern dynasty. The emperOr's abdica-
tion is again strongly rumored to be
impending.
1t is noteworthy that the Frank
fort Gazette hints at a coming "sacri-
fee" with comparative equanimity,
and both the Berlin and Frankfort
stock exchanges showed an improved
tendency as a result Of President
Wilson'S note.
Fears are not concealed that the
entente conference at Paris will put
forward demands incompatible with
honor" but the anxiety to
know the exact terms of the assOciat- !
ed governments puts everything else
in the background.
