Ziegfeld Frolic
Proves the Best
Of the Series
Many Amusing and Slightly
Features i'm New Show
ON Roof of the New
Amsterdam TIL e ater
By Haywood Broun

Florenz Ziegfeld jr. presented the
tenth installment Of his exciting serial
called "The Ziegfeld Midnight Frolic"
at the New Amsterdam Roof on Thurs
day night, and it seemed to us the best
Of the series. The suspense is still
sustained. Tiny shoulder straps do the
sustaining. Still it must be said that
the first night was more partia! to Sam
son than to Dalila. The gymnastic
stunts of the Rath Brothers aroused
the greatest tumult of the evening.
William and Gordon Dooley came i'm
mediately after the acrobats with a
most amusing burlesque, in which they
hit the floor even more often and more
severely than usual.
There were also some thrilling aerial
tricks by young woman namci Ruuh
Budd, who is billed as "The Girl With
the Smile" Her tricks are fine and
facile, but she seemed to have been
over-rehearsed in the smile. Jack Han
ley, juggler of the Fields school, was
enormously amusing, and, of course, the
costumes were sumptuous and the set
tings handsome.
Teddy Gerard, Annette Bade, Airline
Chase and Edythe Baker were among
the performers who contributed ade-
quately to the entertainment. John
Steele sang pleasantly, and Ben Ali
Haggin has devised an effective tableau.
One of the best features Of the evening
was a race for chorus girls on hobby
horses. AS might have been expected,
Man o. War was the victor.

Bedtime Stories
A Terrible Moment
BY Thornton w. Burgess

Just about the time the Merry Little
Breeze was starting out to hunt for
Peter Rabbit the morning after his un-
successful effort to find him, the lost
little son of Peter started out to get
his breakfast. He felt very much bet
ter able to take care of himself now.
In fact, he felt that he had learned so
much that there really was little more
to be learned. He wasn't afraid. He
was sure that as long as he never once
forgot to keep watch no one would be
able to catch him.
So he ventured out to the nearest
patch of sweet clover, and there he ate
his breakfast in great content. Just
as he was nearly through he espied a
patch Of sweet clover a little further
out on the Green Meadows. 1t looked so
tempting that he decided he must have
bite or two from it. First he sat up
and carefully looked this way and that
way and the other way. He even looked
behind him toward the old stone wall
You sec he hadn't forgotten Black
Pussy and how nearly shc had caught
him the afternoon before.
Everything seemed safe, and the little
Rabbit hoped over to the other patch
of sweet clover. 1t tasted just as good
as he thought it would, and he ate
until he could eat no more. Then he
hoped back to the old stone wall and
seated himself where he could look out
and see all that was going on and at
tho same time rest in comfort.
For long time he sat there. BY and
by he began to doze. He would close
his eyes for a minute or two, then open
them and blink to try to make them
stay open. Finally he slept for nearly
half an hour. A queer sound awoke
him. His eyes few open. Out in that
patch Of sweet clover where nc had
finished his breakfast was the biggest
creature he ever had seen. 1t was
bigger, much bigger. than Rcddy Fox
or Old Man Coyote, and it was making
the strange sound that had awakened
him: This stranger would put his nose
to the ground and sniff, and it WAS this
sniffing that made the queer noise.
Suddenly the stranger lifted his head,
opened his great mouth and roarcd. At
least that dreadful sound WAS like q
roar tn the little Rabbit. Then the
stranger put his nose 10 the ground
again and started toward the old stone
vail at the very place where the little
Rabbit was sitting. Every two or three
steps the dreadful stranger lifted his
head yand roared. He began to run,

''Way Down East,''
A Griffith Play,
Thrills Audience
New Screen Melodrama Has
Numerous Undrcamed of
Effects; Snow Scenes Are
of Wonderful Beauty
By Harriette Underhill

When Lowell Sherman gave a short
laugh, accompanied by a shrug Of the
shoulders, in the screen version of
"Way Down East" and said: "You
must tell no one Of our marriage, be-
cause we were never married." our
impulse to turn around to where he
sat in the chair just behind US and
box him over the ears was controlled
just in time.
D. W. Griffith's picture was shown
for the first time at the Forty-fourth
Street Theater last night, and that
every one in the theater shared our
feelings was plain as the picture pro-
gressed. The villain was hissed, the
hero was cheered, and when the stu
pendous ice scenes were shown the
theater rocked with the applause
Never in our five years. experience
with motion pictures have we seen
such a demonstration.
"Way Down East" is "Way Down
East" whether 1t be the stage or the
screen, but what Mr.. Griffith has done
done.
Melodrama Not Disguised
One thing this producer never does
do and that is disguise or attempt to
disguise the fact that he is dealing in
mclodrama. His titles, if anything,
accentuate this fact, as for instance,
when the heroine, a timid country
child, says, 81 was deceived by this
arch villain with mock marriage!" or
words to that effect.
And yet there is his photography,
wbch shows some brand new. un-
dreamed of effects, his snow scenes of
such wonderful beauty that thew were
applauded again and again, all of the
tender. touches which give his people
even in their widest melodr rama. a
scnblance OF reality-all of these are
Griffith.
1t is difficult to write Of this latest
picture without dealing almost entirely
in superlatives. Lillian Gish has dis
covered new ways of making you love
her, and surely no one else could make

Striped Chipmunk.

and he was running straight toward the
little Rabbit.
That little Rabbit almost turned a
back somersault in his haste to get
down to his hiding place under the old
wall. He beard the stranger scramble
up on the Stones of the old wall and
then sniff and sniff at the opening be-
tween the stones through which he
had l11 so hastily scrambled to safety.
Then that awful stranger began to try
to pull away the stones. He was ex-
cited He was terribly excited. His
voice was no longer q roar, but q bark,
very excited bark. He barked and
barked as fast as he could make his
tongue 60. stopping only to sniff once
in while.
1t was Bowscr the Hound. OF course,
any one but that innocent little Rab-
bit would have known that. But he
had never seen nor heard Of Bowser,
and 80 he hadn't the least idea who this
terrible stranger was. Bowser had just
happened along by that little patch of
sweet clover. and there his wonderful
nose had found tho scent Of that little
Rabbit and led him straight to the old
wall Now he was trying his best to
pull those stones away. 1t was a ter
rible moment. very terrible moment
for Peter Rabbits little son.

fication, for the next day they patted
her on the shoulder and blessed her
when she married their son.
Somehow in the drama a snowstorm
makes all that it covers as pure as
the driven snow.
Barthelmess tho Hero
Bartlett, the hero man. Along about
the middle of the picture some one be-
hind us whispered, "Hell never have
such another chance as he had in
Broken Blossoms" But that was be-
fore the ice scenes. This part, where
Anna and David are caught in the ice
mass, was without exception the most
thrilling thing that ever has been Of
fered to the screen public. Even in
the stress of the chase, however, we
could not help feeling how much better
David was doing it than ever Eliza had
done it, and without the incentive Of
bloodhound, too.
Sherman q Regular Villain
Lowell Sherman, than whom there is
no more villainous villain, was ex-
cellent in the part Of Lennox Sander
son, whose speciality was mock mar
riagcs. Burr Mcintosh was the squire,
Creighton Hale the wool-gathering
professor and Mary Hay the sweetest
ingenue imaginable. Wonder if Lottie
Blair Parker ever had any idea that
Kate Brewster was going to turn out
like that when she wrote the part so
many years ago? Miss Hay is a most
vivacious and charming young person.
MIR. Griffith has introduced some bits
OF real color that are most effective
and from now on one may expect COL
ored pictures appearing sporadically in
all the big features beginning in about
three months, only, by the time other
people copy Mr.. Griffith he has forgot
ten all about that particular feature
and is making something brand new.
Tense Moment in Play
There was something different about
the photography, too, and we don't
know how to describe it better than to
say it had the effect Of the old stere-
optlcon views, instead of appearing
fiat
The scenario was made by Anthony
paul Kelly. The photography is by
G. w. Bitter and Hcndrick Sartov. In
the cast besides those already men,
toned are Kate Rruce, Vivid Ogden,
Edgar Nelson, George Neville and
Emily Fitzroy.
10 us the greatest moment in the
picture, not forgetting the ice rescue,
was where the palc-martyr turns and
denounces her betrayer as she is being
driven out into the storm.
Every one was present, including
William Brady, Justine tombstone and
Alexander Woollcott.
