Admiral Jellicoe comes of a race
Of sea fighters. His great-grand-

sea lord at the Battle of Trafalgar.
After a few years Of school ut

While lying in torture from this

his command tried to reassure him
with an encouraging statement of the

bad. the small British force being cut

the attempt to glaze over things was
a cold. Tell me the truth" And when

Thank heaven" we murmured, for
the story of the chorus girl who rose

it ever was. And wasn't there Elsie

Julia Sanderson and a score of other
celebrities? AS matter of fact. we
were once-but that is aside from the
question.
And 1t 10 more difficult climbing

asked.
"well. they say SO; but it always
seemed to be pretty fair sailing for

forget that" whispered Mr.. Baxter.
"Righto, old dear!" we replied. I'VE

are not absolutely certain that Mr.
Baxter said riot" If he used the Eng
lish equivalent we beg his pardon.)
So Mr.. Baxter carried on and this Is
what he told us about his former dane
ing partner: "Ted was wild to get back
to America all the time, you know. but
they wouldn't hear of her leaving.
Finally she received cable from Mr..
Ziegfeld, and. although she was re-
hearsing in new Gaiety show, she
cabled back that she would be here and
then fixed 1t up with her manager in
London. That's Teddy, all over. When
she intends doing thing she does it

There was one thing that Mr.. Baxter

here it is She is small and dark and

II have been asked several times
SINCE the opening of Call the Doctor
how | happened to be cast for my pres
ent role, which is so unlike ANYTHING
ever played here before. Outside of a
brief appearance many years ago with
James X. Hackett in The Crisis and
during one or two stock company en-
gagements, l have never played COM
edy, and these brief appearances were
away from New York.
When Mr. Belasco started to select
the cast for Call the Doctor he thought
of me for the role of the wife. and
when he sent for me | lost no time in
gong to see him. Like all players who
nave previously appeared under Mr..
Belascos management, had cherished
the ambition for twelve years to again
return to him some day, and when he
told me that he wanted me for nv pres
ent role in this delightful comedy I
think 1T was one of the happiest mo-
ments of my life. The most unusual
part about the whole thing was that
Mr. Belasco had never seen me in
comedy role, but when he told me that
he felt l was suited to this part | ac-
cepted at once, for l have long been

to seek diversions away from his home.
which, naturally enough, causes them
to drift apart. Then, too, the wife has
lost all her individuality, so that her
husband finds no pleasure even in talk
ing with her. | think one of the char
acters in the play explains this point
very thoroughly when she exclaims
that her husband agrees with her 80
completely in everything she says that
1t Is just like living alone.
THE wife who wants to hold her
husband nowadays must be a comuan
ION to him. She must make herself so
attractive that he will not look at
another woman and his home such a de-
lghtful place that he will be glad to
stay. in it, instead of stunning it as
much as possible. I feel sure that

The World Needs Smiles, Not
Tears, So Charlotte Walker
Is Happy in Call the Doctor

Perhaps no characterization Of the
new season has furnished more of a
delightful surprise than Charlotte
lasco's latest comedy success, Cali the
Doctor which is now in its second
month in the Empire Theater, not only
because of Miss Walkers delightfully."-
conceived portrayal, but chiefly because
in the present instance she is revealing
another side Of her art, Of which here
tofore local theatergoers have been COM
pletely in ignorance.
The mere mention of Miss Walkers
name Immediately recalls to mind her
portrayals of the high-spirited Southern
girl in Mr.. Belasco's production of "The
Warrens of Virginia.; the leading role
in the same managers production Of
Gust Wife" and the mountain girl in
The Trail Of the Lonesome Pine all
strong emotional roles, but the Char
lotte Walker who has returned to the
metropolitan stage after an absence OF
two seasons has left behind that mile
stone in her career and bcssomed forth
for the .rst time here as delightful
comedienne.
The role which Miss Walker is play
ing in "Call the Doctor" is that of Cath
crime Mowbray, devoted wife who set
tied down into a rut after marriage.
and is on the verge of being divorced
by her husband, who is attracted by an
other woman. To solve her problem she
calls in a doctor of domestic difficulties.
who advises making her husband jealous
by leading a gay life, with the result
that, reawskened to her charms, he is
only too glad to take her back to his
home and heart. For two acts the char
acter is mouselike person, but in the
last act she branches out into a ga,
frivolous woman, whose life is one con
tnuous round of pleasure.
II am more than happy to have the
opportunity of playing this role" de-
clared Miss Walker the other evening,
just after the iall of the final curtain,
for it gives me an opportunity of get
ting away from the tear-stained hero
ines with which I have been identified
in the past. I think tears are magnia-
cent in their way, but l would much
