Gayety-Bo.tonian BurIe.quer..

The Boston Burlesquers. headed
by Frank Finney. is the weeks bur-
lesque attraction at the Gayety
Theater this week.
From Here to Shanghai" de-
scribed as musical Chop-suey." is
the piece de resistance around which
the action revolves. 1t has to do
with the affairs of a quaint Irish
man and an eccentric professor. who
is looking for a publisher to bring
out book he has written.
They become involved in a search
with secret service agents for a
plate which has been stolen from
China and on which is engraved the
priced formula for opium manufac-
ture. Their well-intentioned efforts
involve them in various comedy
situations, from which they extract
themselves only with the greatest
difficulty.
Frank Finney and Phil Oft share
the comedy honors, and are assisted
by cast which includes Jack
Wits, Jack Richards. Nettie Nelson.
Blanche Parquette, Tina Glenn and
others, besides a chorus of twenty
graceful and agile young women.
who are adequately-but not too
quately-costumed. The music
for the production was written by
Harry L. Afford. and many of the
numbers readily lend themselves to
whistling.
Various entertaining vaudeville
numbers are introduced from time
to time during the program. among
these dancing specially by John
Ross and Andy Francis.

USES POPULAR
! STAGE PLAYS TO
DRAW MORALS
Pastor Links Church to
Footlights With Up-to-
Date Sermons.

Never before in London have
church and stage been so closely
linked together.
While most OF the plays now run
ming are of a sermonizing disposi-
ton. preachers are taking advan-
tage of this to attract large congre-
cations to their churches by preach
ing sermons on the subjects which
hold footlight sway.
In the little church of st. Thomas.
Rev. Clarence May has started a
series of sermons, each one dealing
with a moral as pointed out by the
stage. His first sermon was on the
unknown" play by Somerset
Vaughan. which has for founda-
ton the problem Has the war
killed faithE~
The next sermon dealt with The
Wandering Jew" a play in which
Matheson Lang is showing the suf-
ferings of the Jews through the
ages
Another sermon has for its basis
The Crossing" a play dealing with
an earthbound soul in which the
dead appear in spirit form" on the
stage and converse with the living.
The Right to Strike" a play
which is drawing multitudes to the
Lyric Theater. also drew multitudes
to the Rev. Mays church when he
announced it as his text for the
next sermon on his list.
May intends to discuss the prob
lem Of human hypocrisy as it re-
veals itself in The Prude's Fall,
now being played at Wyndham
Theater.

aARRIcK-"NAcBEr
Fritz Leiber in Macbeth" the first Of
q series Of shakesperean presentations
this week at the Garrick.
THE CAST.
Duncan, King Of Scotland. ..

Fritz Leiber, erstwhile leading
man for Robert Mantell, offered
Macbeth" at the Garrick last night
as the first in a series Of Shakes
perian presentations.
There are not the appealing mo-
ments in this stark Scottish tragedy
which the lines of the bard furnish
in his other immortal masterpieces.
The morbid theme throughout re-
presses enthusiasm though the in
depreciation of the moods of the
unhappy king by Mr.. Leiber at times
attained the heights OF artistry.
In challenging comparison with
the Characterization woven by Man
tell. the performance of Leiber does
hot suffer. He has the essential
foundation for portraying the
rugged and ambitious Macbeth
a magnificent voice. Its sturdy
quality plus perfect enunciation
make the mere reading OF the lines
a pleasure and IL at times there is
a tendency to declaim IL Is sub
merged through an Interpretation in
its entirety both sympathetic and
intelligent. The banquet scene
wherein the ghost of Banquo arise,
to plague the distressed monarch is
offered as the real tense moment
of the play.
Mr.. Lieber has surrounded himself
with capable support for the major
characters. Miss Irby Marshall as

on display. Mack's comedy song,
"In the Book" and the dancing of
both players absorbed fifteen min
utes for real fun and pleasure.
And then came Sherman, Van and
Hyman. three harmony singers with
those never failing" personalities.
They closed the show with a roper
toire of original song numbers. This
trio scored big with the number that
might be known to Washingtonians
as The Cake Eater" All their eff
forts were well received. and they
probably would have responded for
an encore had they been in some
other position on the bill.
The picture offering is up to the
usual standard. this weeks film fea-
ture being Children of Destiny.
Edith Hallor, a Washington screen
star, capably handles the title role.

releases of the year.

Penwomen in the clubhouse, 1722 II
street. last night.
Mrs. william Atherton Du Puy
declares that she has the support of
auxiliaries of the league throughout

action was in reality a re-indorse-
ment of the bill since the penwomen

Keith's-Vaudeville.

Two baby Bernhardts lead the bill
at Keith's this week. The little
girl notables are Jane and kath-
crime Lee and there isn't a stop in
the gamut OF tears and laughs and
giggles they touch that is not echoed
from the audience.
When Jane and Katherine. who
look about 6 years old, dash out
upon the stage, the first impress
sion they register is that they are
real, regular children in spite of
their uncanny cleverness of travesty
and genuine dramatic ability far
superior to that of the average
good" actor.
The harmonic possibilities OF the
pitchfork and handsaw have here
tofore been neglected upon the
American stage. The Weaver
brothers yesterday afternoon took
these overlooked musical possibili-
ties and wrested from them melo-
dies that, we fear, will make the
pitchfork the successor of the uku-
lele.
"All Right. Eddy" is all right,
we'll say. Like the National Geo
graphic Magazine il whisks us in
rapid succession from dear old Eng
land to an Arctic igloo and other
strange and interesting places.
Wedding Bells" is one of these
nice. frothy little entertainments in
which everyone seems able to sing
and dance and wear pretty clothes
charmingly. 1t is lifted few
notches out of its natural class by
the birdlike grace Of its danseuse
Dorothy Gnaedinger. While there
! is plenty of high-kicking in a
'"Terpsichorean Cocktail with a
Kick" with Jessie Brown and Effie
Weston, IT can hardly be said that
the act is 100 proof. Dan Boudini
and Adele Bernard are very clever
accordeonists, but much is added to
the act by Adele's provocative naive
knowing eyes. Wilfred Dubois is
billed as a "jongleur distingue." We
were always hazy as to the activi'
ties of a jongleur until we beheld
Wilfred and found out that the word
meant a first-class juggler.
/ And now we come to Bob Hall
the extemporaneous person. We haG
meant 70 leave him out, because
he made up a saucy verse about us
and our perfectly good horn-rimmet
spectacles. M. H.

strand-yaudevilIe and Pictures.
A truly amusing and satisfying
vaudeville program is again on
view at the Strand, Theater this
week, each one of the five acts
scoring more than a hit at last
nights performance. Trovato,
whose billing and applause returns
accord him the honor of the head
lining position, completely stopped
the show with his violin mastering,
la cello. This skilled violinist
jumped from masterpieces to rag
time, and although he had a hard
time to get the audience interested,
he had just as hard a time to leave
them. Trovato scored more than an
ordinary hit with everyone.
Reckless and Arley opened the
show with a snappy routine of
tricks on the rings and trapeze.
They have a dandy act with just
enough comedy inserted to break
the esmonotony of the various tricks.
The closing number, that in which
the male member of the duo does a
head balance on a trapeze swinging
high from the stage. caused many
spectators 10 fairly hold their

If We Must Fight the Japs, Let Do Ii

Increase

Cleveland, o.. April 4.-Japanese
birth rate in California is so high,
and their standard of living so low,
that any immigration policy other
than exclusion will result in the ul-
innate destruction of the American
population in the west, if not in the
whole United States, V. S. McClatchy,
publisher of the Sacramento Bee, as
serted yesterday in a luncheon ad-
dress before the City Club.
"The Japanese have neither the
ability, the desire nor the power un-
der their government to become citi-
zens of this country" Mr.. McClatchy
SAID.
"They are unassimilable. They dc
not care for citizenship. Their gov.
ernment expects Japanese in this
country to remain loyal to the coun,
try of their fathers, and they are
loyal to Japan"
The chief objection to the Japan
ese is not racial antipathy, but the
knowledge that their economic advan
tages make it hopeless for the whit'
race to compete with them, Mr. Nc
CATCHY explained.
