The Seamy Side of Broadway

New York, November 1, 1919.-Next week company will begin a season of German opera in New York pro- stop them. Some of the soldiers, with recolIections of the recent fight in mind, are unwilling to admit that the war is over and are carrying the contest into musical circles. The sane and sober Arnerican public is striv- ing to hold in check these irrational ists, and they may succeed, but in the meanwhile there has been so much confusion that it will be diff ditions.
 Tt is exceedingly bad taste, to say the least, to inject politics into a distinctly artistic enterprise" asserts Theodore Spiering, a noted American concert artist, violin teacher and or chestra leader. The season of opera proposed will have brilliant singers, more than seventy per cent of them being American. The German Ian guage has been used in Milan within the last few days in presenting Ger an opera, and German music from Beethoven and Brahms to Wagner and Strauss has been 9, conspicuous part of the native programmes for the entire period of the war. It looks like a mountain is being made of mole-hfll, and the mountain does not look genuine at that"

was proposed and prevented only when it looked as though there might be blood-shed. It is hoped by every one, including the influential news papers of the city, that there may not be a recurrence of those un- seemly sights when the new season begins, and 1t is sure to begin, and will be supported largely by loyal Americans, as the operas are to be sung by loyal Americans.
 A play was produced last week in New York called "The Storrn,' D written and devised by Langdqn Mo Cormick. The Storm'' Is a big suc- cess as a play, and MT. Mccormick admits that his work shop contributed as much to it as his library. Because it contains some of the most sensa- tional scenes ever witnessed on the Broadway stage. One represents a snowstorm. It isn't one of the every day snowstorms, but the sort of a storm that comes up after you go to the theatre unprepared for any thing except the balmy spring even ing.
 When the sorm starts two men are on the stage. It grows in ferocity until they are almost blurred from vision These two men are Robert Rende1 and Edward Arnold. MS Rendel is an English actor and MT. Arnold comes from the west.

AT THE THEATRES
PLAZA.

If you haven't yet been to the Plaza theatre to see William Russell in his latest six reel American special, ''SiX Feet Four don't fail to put it on your list for today. This is the final day of it's showing. Ever since the first showing, "SiX Feet Four has been delighting all the audiences, who are unanimous in declaring it far and away the biggest and most dramatic screen production they have seen this year. The vaudeville bill is one that is sure to please.
 Starting tomorrow night, Theda- Bara In La Belle RUsse,' has been booked in. Theda. Bara has achiev- ed a strange and wonderful feat. She has stepped out of herself and stood face to face with her other-self. In La Belle Russe." Theda Bara, No. l, may be seen talking to Theda Bara, No. 2. The great star plays a dual role in this thrilling picture of fenin- 3ne tntr!gue-a film version of the great Belasco play. She is seen as graceful baIlerina, who braves dire poverty for her husbands sake. She ealso plays the part of the ballerina twin sister-a magnificent but utterly wicked woman. In one startling scene the poor baHerina and her selfish sis ter confront each other. La Belle" contrasts a story of mother-love and self-sacrifice with the story of a wona- ans heartless am nbition. A two reel D'Henry Story, entitled Toad Allen s 15lopement,'' a, two reel farce comedy eweek1y news and others, will also be shown at the two performances at 6 .Rald o'clock.

SHIBERTHS.

One of the really big theatrical of ferings of the year will be seen at the Shubert theatre, New Haven, for a three-days' engagement starting Mon day, with the usual matinee on We'd nesday, when Oliver Morosco will pre- sent the famous comedienne, Char 1otte Greenwood, in a new musical comedy entitled 'Linger Longer Let ty-" Miss Greenwood will be remen- Dered as having appeared in New Ha- ven three times a couple of seasons ago in the sensationaIly successful 50 Long Letty,'' hence her coming in a new vehicle should be a matter of much importance to lovers of the atrica1s.
 "Linger Longer Letty'' is the joint work of Anna NichoIs;, Alfred Good man and Ben GrossTnan. The former supplied the book, which is rich in witty dialogue and uproariously hu morous situations. MT. Goodman is credited with having written nineteen catchy mel odies and MT. Grossman furnished the lyrics. It is said that the trio have evolved a play which contains more nirth and melody than its famous predecessor.
 fCne story of the play has to do with domestic and love affairs of Lefty. ER yed by Miss Greenwood, who, find ing herself relesated in her position of cook in her family, goes on strike and proceeds to elevate herself, much to the discomfort of her entire family
 While achieving her ends she inciden- *aIly starts a love affair that keeps her busy until the final curtain.
 In support of the talented star will be seen a typical Morosco cast" in- cTuding OIin HowIanli, Helen Groody, Cyril Ring, May Bronte, Marjorie Me Clntoek, Ethel Brandon, Bernice Hirsch, France Victory, Virginia Traveres, Arthur Hart1y, France Bendsten, Jack Rafael and the fa,- mons blackface team of Rice and Werner. A chorus of comedy misses is also an important feature of the play
 Shortly following the New Haven engagement Miss Greenwood and ''Lnger Longer Letty'' will open an indefinite run at the Fulton theatre, New York city.

for this scene the few people in the theatre were startled by the realism of the effects, but that was not a marker to those on the stage. The snow began to fall and MT. Rendel looked upon 1t first as bit of realistic scenery. It grew in volume and fe- rocity. Suddenly the curtain fell and the act was over. So realistic had walked over to the radiator and leaned against it to dry himself

Henry Scuffcrt, who was rowed out by

Lemke was unusually reticent at the

thorities, would indicate that some

The woman's clothes worn by Lemkc

yesterday for closer scrutiny. There
were two pairs Of womcn's shoes
and one pair of his own. Tho

worn away on the soles in the same
way as on Lemke's street shoes.
