Plays and Players

Ernest Truck, Americas best below I
small actor, is rehearsing a new farce
by Mark Swan for the probable profit
of George Broadhurst Adapted from
the French of Keroul and Barre, the
title of the piece is "His Wife Believed
Him." Possibly she didn't in the origi-
nal version.
"a Place in the Sum-" by Cyril Har.
court, is to be cast soon by the Shu-
berts. The play has already been seen
in London and was first produced in
America at the Copley Theatre, Boston,
while that little theatre was still in its
experimental stages. Mr.. Harcourt's
play, "a Pair of Silk Stockings" had
just concluded successful run in an
other Boston playhouse at the time
and there was opportunity tc note the
piaywright's felicitous gift for clever
dialogue. Unless in the rewriting of
the piece for New York Mr.. HarcourL
has recently injected martial spirit,
the IT'LL. will lead many playgoers to
expect the roar of gatling guns or at
the very least . speech beginning,
cover the top. boys, and at 'em!'
"Experience, the morality plav
which broke records right and left
without stopping for breath, now has
sequel which Elliott, Comstock and
Gest hope will do the same "Loyalty"
is its name and "a patriotic allegory"
is as much of a description as the
public may read at present Phoebe
Foster, an elusively charming young
actress, will play the role of Love.
The twelfth edition of the "Ziegfeld
Follies" is being considered now that
the Midnight Frolic is happily under
way at the New Amsterdam Theatre.
Having already engaged all the avail
able beauty in New York for the rool
show, Florenz Ziegfeld had to look
backward, SO to speak. His gaze fell
on Kay Laurell, who left the stage two
years ago for a more domestic exist
ence--nor did it fall in vain.
Last call for "Cheer Up!" ac the
Hirpodrome! Also E. H. Sothern, Julia
Marlowe, Julia. Arthur and Frances
Aida are to be seen there next Sunday
evening at benefit for the families
Of our boys serving with the Canadian
army.
Chorus girls with "Rock-a-By.
Baby" the new Selwyn piece to open
here May 27 with Louise Dresser, are
selling Liberty bonds every day in At
lantic City, not so much to win the
prize OF 500 bond for the biggest
total, as for the patriotism and fun Of
it. In three weeks Evelyn Ferris and
Claire Nagle have each sold almost
100000 worth of bonds, and Albertine
Marlowe comes along in third place
with $4,000.

John Reed Freed
On Bail, Pending
Trial i'm june
Socialist Writer Pleads Not
Guilty to Conspiracy
Charge

Pleading not guilty, John Reed, So
, cialist writer, who returned from Rus
sia on Sunday, yesterday appeared in
the Federal District Court and was re-
leased on bail pending his trial on a
charge of conspiracy to obstruct en-
listment and recruiting. Reed, who
contributed to The Masses" a newspa-
per clipping which he headed "Knit a
Straitjacket for Your Soldier Boy"
will be tried at the rehearlng in June
of the other editors of the magazine,
who were indicted with Linn.
In arguing that Reeds bail be fixed
at $4,000 instead of $4,000, as recon-
with Morris Hillquit, for Max Eastman
and the other defendants, said:
"This man has come all the way from
Russia to answer the charge against
him. He was in Russia, promoting the
cause of democracy, when the indict-
ment was returned against him, and
having come back voluntarily he should
not be put under heavy bail"
John Eads How, known as "the mill
ionaire hobo," who accompanied Reed
back from Russia. via Norway, was in
court to witness the arraignment.
On advice of Mr. Malone, Reed re-
fused to talk other than to say: 81 cam
not speak about my experience in Rus
sia, because the government has put
a seal on my lips. All my papers are
in the hands of government officials"
Earlier in the day, however, Reed
gave to "The Call" statement in re-
gard to reports that Czarism had been
restored in Russia. He said:
This new attempt to revive the mon
archy is. of course, another German
plot, and one that ought to be combat
ed by the Allies The Junkers will
help establish the Gar; then he in
turn will ask them to help him regain
his rightful throne. SO that all the
legal formalities of the affair will be
covered. 1t is certainly no movement
of She Russian people themselves.
"The story may be another of the
wild-eyed war spondents' rumors,
however, but even if it contains a ves-
tige of truth it is not to be feared.
Russia is revolutionary and class con-
scious to the core. and no monarchy
made and maintained by German bayoy
nets can hope for any permanent life"

On the Screen
Enid Bennett in the Lions
Den--Almost--F eature This
Week at the Rivoli

Enid Bennett is at the Rivoli this
week in picture called "The Biggest
Show on Earth" Some people do not
like Miss Bennett on the screen. They
say she is too sweet, but the more We
see her the better we like her, because
in each picture she seems to be getting
nearer to the real Enid Bennett, very
charming young person, indeed.
AS usual, the thing which interested
US the most was the act where double
was required. Of course every one
knew it had to be double, for no one
would expect nor wish to see Miss
Bennett put six roaring lions through
their PAGES. But it was so well done
that no one could tell where Miss Ben
nett left off and the double began, and
some close-ups showed her much nearer
Leo than we should care to be unless
he was chloroformed.
The story tells of girl named Roxie
Kemp, who was a lion tanner in her
fathers circus, the "K-T, Biggest Show
on Earth" When she is eighteen her
father sends her to boarding school,
and here, although she religiously con-
ceals her origin under the big top, she
is ostracized on account of her clothes.
Finally she saves one of the girls,
Marjorie Trent, from Great Dane
which is accused of being mad because
he wants to play, and then she is in
vited to spend her holidays at the home
of the Trents.
When the circus comes to town the
Trent family think it would be q lark
to 60 and see the curiosities, and so
they go, taking Roxie with them. But,
mercyi The lions became fractions and
the lion tanner is afraid and Roxie just
has to jump in and save the day. And
so the Trents find out that the girl
whom their son, Owen, wishes to marry
is a lion tanner Just as they are all
telling her what they think of her pro-
fession Colonel Trent comes in and
says, Lay off," or. words to that ef-
feet. "T'm the Trent that put the 7
in the K. I. / am part owner of the
circus" SO Owen could marry Roxie
without losing cast.
Ethel Lynn is extremely attractive as
Marjorie Trent, Melbourne Mcdowell
is a good Nat Kemp, and Carl Stockdale
does we'll as Colonel Trent. Earl Rod
ney is the hero, but what we wish to
know is where are all the fine, big
heroes we used to see on the screen
Have they gone to war?
On the picture programme are "Tid-
bits of Travel" and picturesque
Wales" The comedy is Mutt and
jeff Helping McAdoo."
The overture is selections from
Faust" Alberto Bachman, violinist,
played movement from concerto, and
Desire La Sale sang "Vision Fugitive"
from "Herodiade"

tions. the James Howard Kehler coll
