NATIONAL.

The second and last week Of Fred
Stone in the wonderful musical ex-
travaganza Jack OLantern," which
Charles Dillingham; has sent to the
National Theater, begins tonight.
The success of this big entertain
ment is hardly to be wondered at on
account of it's novelty in many ways
and it's inimitable comedian. When
you look over the list it would be
hard to find any Eight" comedian
who works half as hard every day
and night as Fred Stone does. A born
acrobat, he is never still a minute,
and there are only a few moments in
n performance that ne is not on the
stage.
The six Brown brothers and the
saxaphones seem always to delight
every audience, as do the tiny Hoy
sisters, who bring great delight to
the youngsters and amazement to the
elders.
Perhaps the feature that makes the
most lasting impression is the final
scene at st. Moritz, which is a ,ne
example OF the decorative work of
Joseph Urban, and brings about some
really wonderful skating on the part
of Fred Stone and Katie Smith.

BELASCO.

Tomorrow night at the Shubert-
Belasco Theater David Belasco will
present David Warfield in a revival
OF his first great success, "The Auc-
tloneer,' a comedy of character by
Lee Arthur and Charles Klein. 1t has
been eighteen years since Mr.. Warfild
hrst appeared in this play at the
old Bijou Theater, New York, and since
that time his powers and popularity
have grown immeasurably until now
he has attained a position that is
without parallel in the history Of the
American theater.
In both it's scenes and characters,
THE Auctioneer" radiates sweetness,
and while the lines. of the play keep
one laughing almost constantly, it is
the kind of laughter that is very
close to tears. Its story has to do
with Simon Levi, a lovable old He
brew who is at first seen in his East
side auction store and home, building
up the fortune begun with his ped
dler's basket. When his adopted
daughter Helga, is about to become
the bride of Dick Egan, he moves into
"a Lexington avenue mansion, has a
good time" while 1t lasts, becomes
suddenly penniless, and then. has to
go back down town and cheerfully
begin life over again with his ped
dler's basket.
Mr.. warfield is supported by COM
pany of more than thirty players,
among whom are several who have
been with him since the first produc-
ton OF THE Auctioneer" Marie
Bates, Jennie Moscowitz, Louis Hen
bricks and Harry Rogers are to be
seen in the roles which they origi-
mated. Important among the newer
members of the organization are
Lorna Napier, Harry Llewellyn, Hell
ena Phillips. Guy Milham, ALI Helton,
Bessie Fooks and Maude Beckwith.

GARRICK.

Harry B. Smith has found in Hugo
Riesenfeld a new composer to write
'music for his brilliant book and

work will be Betty, Be Good" which
opens at the Garrick tonight.
Mr.. Smith has written a book
crammed with brilliant repartee,
clever and humorous situations, and
rapid fire action, play indeed so COM
plete in itself that 1t would be a side
splitting farce If played without mu-
sic.
Headed by Josephine whittelI, last
season with "Glorianna," the cast is
an extraordinary one. AS Betty, she
captivates and charms throughout
three acts of uproarious farce, aided
and abetted by Eddie CARVE, the pop
ular rotund comedian. Irving Beebe
seen in Washington as Mitzrs leading
man in Head Over Heels" plays a
young bridegroom, while Georgia Ma
matt, a graduate OF the National Park
Seminary, and lately in Take 1t From

delightful team, while Josie Intropidi
one of the cleverest condolences or

suited to her. The famous DANCING
team OF Grant and Wing are seen ir

ing beauty has been assembled in the

WASHINGTON, Oct. 21.-John Fitz
Patrick, leader OF the steel strikers,
visited the national industrial confer
ence today to confer with members OF
the labor group.
With reference to the statement
made yesterday by Ebert H. Gary,
chairman Of the United States Steel
corporation. Fitz PATRICK said:
'SGary's statement raised the morale
of the strikers.
Were stronger To-Day as one conse-
quence of the statement"
Fitz Patrick did not see the confer
ence in session because he arrived
during a recess that was taken almost

sion opened. The recess was taken
to enable the labor group to vote on
new amendment proposed by the
public group to the collective bargain
ing resolution now in the hands OF
the central committee Of fifteen. III
amendment was not read to the full
conference. Members of the public
group said il was intended to guaran-
tee to workers in any factory II
right to belong to any organization
they might select.
Fitz Patrick denied the steel strlk-
ers have asked arbitration Of the
strike.
"We are so confident OF the justice
Of our cause, though, that we would
be willing to submit our case TO any
man or board" he said.
The resolution introduced In the In
dustrial conference seeking appoint

intended to adjust" the strike &C.
cording to Fftz Patrick.
Judge Gary in his statement OF yes

strike situation an issue not raised

This is the issue of the open and

raised that issue.
