Frank Bacon Marks 35th
Anniversary of Wedding
Secret OF ''Lightnin' Stars Va.
cation Is Out; Wife Was
Childhood Sweetheart

Like his own Lightnin' Bill Jones,
Frank Bacon was telling tales when
he said he had taken a vacation from
the play at the Gaiety Theater in
order to cut hay on his place at Bay
side. The real occasion of his absence
is out having been concealed with
Characteristic modesty from friends
who might have sent remembrances.
The vacation was taken to celebrate
the thirty-hfth anniversary of his
wedding. Jennie Weidman, the sweet
heart of his boyhood, is his wife. The
formal observance was yesterday.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bacon spent the day at
their Bayside home with their widowed
daughter, Bessie, who plays in
"Lightnin' and two grandchildren,
Jean and Betty. Mr. Bacon's best pals.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bacon we're married in
San Jose, Calf. They had attended
the same elocution school and par
ticipated in the same local amateur
productions. They were married be-
fore either had appeared on the pro-
fesaional stage. They started their
careers together on their honeymoon
with a travelling dramatic company
To-day they have happy memories Of
the old transforming da.'s and of the
struggles which attended a thirty five
years pilgrimage to Broadway.

praiscworthy in tho field of musical
comedy. And yet we have no desire to
handicap the producer of "Poor Little
Ritz Girl" by suggesting that his piece
Is to any large degree a highbrow mu-
steal show. Persons fall and signal
over the heads Of visiting aunts and
pop out of bedrooms unexpectedly and
unpropritiously in quite the accus-
toned manner. in fact, Miss Lulu Nc
Connell, the most amusing member Of
the company, employs as much physi-
cal effort in her comedy scenes as Babe
Ruth ever put into n home run swing.
Like the Babe, she misses now and
then, but her energy is engaging, and
there are lines and situations which
she bats across the footlights to the
back of the house. The Mary Queen
of Scots song is hers, and she makes
the most of it.
Charles Purcell sings very we'll in
deed, but plays much less effectively.
Andrew Tombes, however, gives a de-
lightful performance, and there is also
good work by Florence Webbcr and Eu-
genie Blair. Eleanor Griffith is an at
tractive heroine, but she was so nerv-
Gus last night that it is difficult to
say whether or not her voice is an as
set. The chorus has more lines then
usual and acquits itself cxcellently.

Jokes at Last
Have a Place
I'm Musical Shows
ssPoor Little Ritz Cirl'' at
the Central Is Unusually
Amusing, With the Lyrics
x and Book Above Average
By Haywood Broun

"Poor Little Ritz Girl produced at
the Central Theater last night, is an
amusing and ingenious musical comedy.
1t stands head and shoulders above
any of it's recent rivals. because in
addition to all the ordinary parapher
MALTA of musical comedy the producer
has taken the pains to add few jokes.
81 am so used to rehesrsing," remarks
one CT the chorus girl characters, that
begin to dance the minute anybody
swears at me-"
The neglected lyric also gets more Of
it's due than usual, for the song en-
titled "Ain't it Awful What They Done
to Mary Queen of Scots" seems to us
the most rollicking ballad we have
heard in a twelve month. 1t is perhaps
fitting to mention at the outset that
Richard c. Rogers composed the music
for this ditty as we'll as that for another
excellent song, called what Happened
Nobody Knows" The more serious and
sentibental songs are from Sigmund
Romberg, and they are pleasing but
hardly as striking as the lighter num-
bers. Lorenz M. Hart and Alex Gerber
did the lyrics, and George Campbell and
Lew Fields wrote the book. Mr.. Fields
is also the producer.
The play deals with the private and
public lives of chorus girls and the
authors owe certain debt to Avery
Hopwood's Gold Diggers" for the
manner in which the material is
handled. One Of the scenes is also
reminiscent of the hypnotic episode
in "The Affairs of Anatol." However,
even if the authors have occasionally
listended to the twanging of other
Tyres it seems to us that they
should be praised for having picked
their models with discretion. The
average musical comedy is copied after
the one which was produced the month
before. poor Little Ritz Girl' may
serve to break the endless chain. 1t
shows an effort to put an ear to the
ground rather than at the crack of the
stage door across the street. Indeed,
one of the lyric writers has gone far
enough from Forty second Street to
have heard DR.. Freud, and has COM
posed song called "You Can't Fool
Your Dreams" which shows at least
working knowledge of the theory
of the unconscious.
All this we hold is unusual and

New-York tribune., 1920-07-29

Douglas Fairbanks and his wife,
Mary Pickford, arrived here yesterday
on the Olympic from Cherbourg and
Southampton, and made their way to
the Ritz with two brass bands, Il pro-
cesson OF twenty-five automobiles fill
ed with Friars and a police escort
1t was the lunch hour when they
started along the waterfront across
Twenty-third Street and up Fifth Ave
nue. to Fifty eighth Street, and good
part of New York stood and waved at
them.
They occupied the bridal suite on the
Olympic and did not venture about
the ship all the way across. On the
trip from Quarantine to the pier alone
they autographed 873 pictures brought
to them by the ships crew.
Lampo is what the Italians call Fair
banks. 1t means lightning. Lampo
received reporters in his rooms while
Mary checked off the members of the
crew as she signed pictures, and told
about the trip. He said that in Eng
land, where they stayed nine days, they
could not go anywhere without block
ing traffic, and had to escape from the
Ritz in London by way of the kitchen,
Lampo disguised with curly nous
tache and Mary wearing glasses and
doddering along like an old woman.
Photograph Supply Exhausted Soon
Then they toured Europe in twenty
one days. They visited France, Hol-
land, Coblenz, the Swiss Alps and
lakes, the Italian Alps and lakes, the
Riviera, Venice, Padua, Genoa Monte
Carlo, and then to Cherbourg Before
they had got clear of France there
were no more photographs and more
had to be made
They motored and yachted and gon
doliered. They found the food excel
lent in Holland and Switzerland. Fair
banks said that travellers on the CONT
nent now eat by countries and not by
restaurants. Switzerland and Holland.
he said, were full Of fat American tour
lists, and all the scrawny ones were in
Italy.
Mary came back with a contract 1t
was her first trip abroad, and she is
proud of the agreement made in Paris
