MRS. WIGGS

When the Garrick Players revived

Sunday evening, the management lit
lie dreamed that in the audience
would be a veteran theatergoer who
was a first-nighter when the play
WAS originally produced in New York
come fifteen years ago. So enthused
did this gentleman, now a resident Of
Washington, become over the inter
probation Of the various roles that he
took the trouble to write the manage
nent a letter, IN which he compared
the three principal roles as enacted
by the Garrick Players with the same
roles as played in the original pro-
,duction. His letter follows, in part:

END MAN IS
NOW A STAR

From being a student at Phillips
Andover to the endman of the who.
What and When" minstrels at "$6
per week and cakes" marked the
hejira of Andrew Toombes from the
halls of learning to the questionable
delights of life on the stage.
1t has been a long hard struggle
with poverty, infrequent salary days
and privations which test and tenn
per a mans soul, before ANDY"
Toombes won his hard earned sue
cess. The successive steps Of Mis-
progress carried him through
minstrelsy, Shakespearian repertoire,
stock, burlesque, vaudeville and mu-
sical comedy.
Two seasons ago when Flo Flo"
was presented in New York it was
the work Of Toombes that saved the
piece from utter failure on the open
ing night. 1t was his frs chance to
score on Broadway in p lsical COM
edy and he awoke tIS following
morning to find himself listed
among the elect.
His old friend and boyhood chum,
c. B. Maddox, commissioned Frank
Stammers to write the book and
lyrics of a musical comedy in which
ANDY" was to star this season, the
result being that very smart three
act piece, Nothing but Love-" which
comes to Polls on Sunday night for
weeks stay.

fifteen years ago, and although for
some years past 1 have not been a
regular theater patron, L could not
miss the opportunity of going to your
cozy playhouse Sunday evening, to
once more witness what / deem one
Of the classics OF the stage.
Right here 1 want to compliment
you upon the remarkably fine char
acterizations which Mr.. FOxe, Mrs
Martin, and Miss Huntington gave. In
the role of Stubbins 1 believe Mr..
FoXe gets a great deal more out of
the part than did William Hodge.
Mrs. Martin, as the sympathetic
and philosophical Mrs. wiggs, is, to
my notion, vastly ahead of Madge
Carr Cook, while Miss Huntington
(who, by the way, is an unusually
good character woman) to my notion
is fully the equal of Helen Lowell,
who originally played the part of
Miss HAY
Perhaps it is because Of the time
that has elapsed since I saw the
play, and perhaps my ideas Of philo-
sophy have broadened, nevertheless
I found many sweet truths in the al
most poetical lines of Mrs. Wigs, and
want to say that, if such a thing be
possible, 1 can honestly say that your
presentation of the play has taken
five years Of worry and care off my
age-laden shoulders.

East Indian motion picture audi

by far the most ropular star OF he
silent drama in that quarter Of the
globe. All through India, Coy on, and
Burmah the demand for Nazimova's
super-features is increasing with
each successive production.
Odd as it may seem, all screen stars
are not suddenly discovered, pounced
upon by an admiring manager and inn
mediately besought to sign a life
contract at q fabulous salary. Nazi-
nova, now starring in THE Brat" I"
receives a salary that would make
many a bank president enYious. But
according to her own statement, she
began her great stage career by ac-
cepting an engagement for a season
at a salary of $50 a month.

Both Bertrand and Soriano are re-

ing every speed device known to cam

glimpse of the Pershing Homecoming
before Washington could read the de-
tailed stories in its newspapers on
Tuesday morning.
All the world knows now that Gen
eral Pershing stepped ashore from
the Leviathan at New York at 9:2O
o'clock on Monday morning last, and
as he stepped ashore, a battery of mo-
tion picture cameras were clicking on
on celluloid the event that has now
passed into history. All during the
morning hours the camera men fol-
lowed Pershing, and by noon the
strictly news features Of the event
had been fully covered"
So rapidly had the Pathe forces
worked that the program at Loew's
Palace Theater, to which one reel was
consigIe6, had not been arranged to
care for it, Word had been received
from the local Pathe headquarters
late in the evening that the film was
coming and a hole" was Immediately
made in the program.
That is the reason why Washing

at Loew's Palace Theater on Monday
night-twelve hours after Pershing's s
arrival-the only news pictures Of
the record-achieving event that were
shown in Washington on that same
evening".
