WASHINGTON, Jan with delay in

creasingly evident here that January
will mark the most critical period OF the
negotiations. There are breakers ahead
for the negotiators and the outlook is
by no means as serene as appears on the
surface, although st is generally as
stunned that the divergence Of Views and
other obstacles will be- overcome by the
combined good will and readiness to
compromise OF the President and the
Entente Premiers.
In view of the very evidently difficult
situation determined effort will be
made by the Presidents supporters in

Good drama knows no nationality,
and for that reason The Little
Brother" should appeal as strongly
to Gentues as to Jews. Walker White
side will offer his powerful character
portrayal of Rabbi Elkan at the
Shubert-Garrick Theater next Sun
day night, at which time he will pre-
sent a new phase OF his art TO his
sdmirers, namely, the ability to play
comedy. for the role of the rabbi
possesses a ely humor, and a pleas
ant wit, Of which Mr.. Whiteside
makes the most.
THE Little Brother" has been one
of the marked successes OF the New
York season. The drama is from the
fscile pen OF Milton Goldsmith. and
treats Of the lifelong search of Rabbi
Elkan for his little brother, Jacob,
from whom he became separated dur
ing q massacre in Kiev, Russia.
The meeting Of the two brothers
after years OF wandering is the climax
Of The Little Brother" and it is said
that the powerful acting OF Walker

Of unusual proportions. Tyrone
Power will be seen as the brother,
and Mabel Bunyea. Eugene Blair.
Mary Malleson, Sam Sidman, David

~ ESPITE the fact that he's play

of spiEitualism this year,
George Arliss doesn't believe in

Mr.. Arliss, who is one of the coun-
try's strongest advocates OF the pre-
yention of cruelty to animals, got
switched of on his favorite topic at
Ehis point.
.sTalking about spirits he said.

Returning for a moment to the sub
Ject of his play, Mr.. Arliss remarked
that he didn't consider a belief in
spiritualism necessary TO the com
rlete enjoyment OF the play. He
pointed out that Barrie had really

there had been communication be-

passed. resulting in young Klaw's
discharge.
The sceie between the elder Klaw
and Erlanger. when the father re-
turned from his trip to and how his
son had been humiliafed, was such a
stormy one that news OF il quickly
spread over Broadway. Since then
there has been q great deal OF specu-
lation as to how 1t would turn out.
but theatrical managers generally re-
fused to believe until recently that
the long partnership would be ended.
The turn events have taken lately
has alarmed the producing managers,
who are wondering how their inter
ests will be affected. One OF the pos
sibllities is the organization OF q new
combination so powerful that 1t may
have just as much OF a monopoly OF
the booking business as the old X. &
(. Syndicate did before the Shuberts
came in.
Vague fears OF such a result were
at the bottom OF a meeting OF pro-
ducing managers held in New York
last night. The Producing Managers
Association was organized. Neither
the Shuberts nor Klaw & EFlanger
were invited. but those who did at
tend were ALI Hayman. Henry w.
~ y
Reeder (for David Belasco), Sam H.
Harris. Arthur Hopkins, George
Broadhurst. John L Golden. Arthur
HammeEStein. Lawrence Webber, F.
Ray Comstock. Martin Herman (for
A. II. WoOds) and Charles CobuFn.
Mr.. Harris was elected president;
Mr.. BrOadhurst. vice president; Mr..
Webber. secretary, and Mr.. Reeder
treasurer, and Messrs. Hopkins.
Brady. Savage, Hayman. Golden and
Hammerstein. directors. Allies of the
X. & L. and of the ShubeTt factions
are in the association.
The purpose of the new organiZa-
tion is to protect the producing man
ayers in general, against the booking
agencies in particular.
What the producers fear is a return
to the conditions Of twenty or thirty
years ago, when X. G. E. were the
arbitrary rulers OF the American
stage, controlling all the first class
theaters of the country, so that pro-
ducers had to meet their terms or 90
out of business Rather than pay
their price, Sarah Bernhardt toured
the country in circus tents. David Be
lasco offered his productions in cheap
theaters and tents. Mrs. Fiske appear
ed in variety thesters and all kinds
of halls, and David Warfeld had 10
play in vaudeville houses. BY such
methods the hrm grew immensely
rich.
In any new trust OF this kind the
ShubeTts would necessarily have a
place, for since their successful fight
against the X. & E. monopoly they
have gradually acquired equal Inn
pOFtance with X. & i. as producers,
theater owners and booking agents.

whether in his opinion Fay Banter
should be made a star during her New
York engagement in East Is West"
He answered in his Sunday column:
We have no desire to stand In the
way OF any young Iady's career, and
so we went out and asked a the
atricaI expert just what II would mean
to Miss BANTER 20 be a star. He
explained that II she were starred her
name would appear above the play
not only in the electric lights, but in
the daily advertising. He said further
that she would receive a larger sal
airy and might even share in the prof
its. More than that, a small silver
plated star would be placed on the
door of her dressingroom. If the
show went on the road 1t would. be the
duty OF the press agent TO obtain a
drawing-room on the train for her
and accommodations in the leading
hotel Of the town visited. He would
also be responsible for procuring a
taxicab to take his star from the de
pot 20 the hotel.
