The next step in his unusual career

Patterson said In answer to COM
ment, you must not forget how
much Of II is due TO Mr.. Walker. He
makes you act by believing that you
can act. There is nobody who directs
like him-scarcely a suggestion; never
a harsh criticism. But every minute
you know that his mind is focused on
you--drawingj and drawing upon your
creative skill Somehow II you can't
respond to that sort Of directing

BROOKLYN VARIETY.

ORPHEUM-Frank Dobson,
generally considered to be funny
without being peculiar, will APP
pear in "The Sirens" miniature
musical comedy that is lavishly
decorated with girls, scenery and
girls. E. F. Albee will present
"Art," a novel spectacle in
spired by the patriotic posters
turned out during the war. and
living models will reveal how
much better these things can be
done by the hand of nature, so to
speak, than by the hand of art.
Toto will fall through an act,
"Toto in Kewpieland," that is ex-
pected to mark a new era in the
history of the laugh. Frances
Kennedy will deliver a new
programme of songs designed
and executed by William B.
Friedlander, and the Four Haley
Sisters will emit little barber
shop close harmony.
BUSHWICK-Edna Goodrich
will simmer in a sketch by
Edgar Allan Woolf called "The
Mannequin," a revue of the sea-
sons fashion successes. The
playlet is described as highly
pictorial, highly dramatic and
highly millinery. Ruby Norton
and Sammy Lee will step out in
a new song and dance production,
these capable artists being able
to sing without getting tangled
up in their legs. Owen Nc
Giveney, the protean actor, will
illustrate the difference between
4 quick change artist and a short
:hange artist shifting from
'haracter to character of
Dickens almost as fast as the
novelist conceived them, and the
rest of the bill will be quite
worthy to be presented on the
same stage with the Bushwick
News Pictorial.
STAR - "The Midnight
Maidens" will be the massive
production here, which is ex-
pected to keep the more virile
element of Brooklyn up until a
late hour every night this week.
! The book is announced to be
witty as we'll as sparkling, the
music goes right along with it,
and the scenery by Lee Lash fol-
lows closely the lines of the

Like all actors, Kent could write a
book about his experiences. and his
biography opens with his running
away from home in st. Paul one night
about fifteen years ago, when he slid
down from his bedroom window and
stole away with one ring circus
shebang. He hired out as a candy

City. and, to quote Kent, everybody
walked home" The experience almost
cured Kent of his desire for theatre

again, Kent left home the second time

MONTAUK-1t is expected
that during the week that
Chauncey lOlcott appears here in
The Voice of Mcconnell" the
Irish home rule question will
become one of the burning topics
which some Flatbush association
will take up with the idea of
settling it offhand. Regardless
of the fate of the Irish issue, it
is confidently predicted that
George M. Cohan's comedy and
Mr.. Olcott's singing will sweep
all before it. A large cast will
prove that, once having filled the
Manhattan Opera House with
their voices. then can reach even
to furthest Brooklyn.
MAJESTIC-No reflection ON
the borough across the river is
intended in the announcement
that this week Nothing but
Lies" will be there. In fact,
William Collier intends to re-
feet nothing but glory on this
section with Aaron Hoffnan's
comedy. if, indeed, anything can
