Marilynn Miller
Began With Follies.

When the popular "Zlegfeld Fol-
lies" come to the New National Thea
ter tonight Mar!lynn Miller. the
dancer and comedienne, will be
among the important members OF the
cast.
Miss Miller. who is a big favorite
here, was placed under a long time
contract with Florenz Ziegfeld, jr.,
in 1918. On her initial New York
appearance with the "Follies" at the
New Amsterdam Theater. in June OF
that year, Miss Miller recorded the
biggest success of her entire career.
A few weeks later she secured anoth-
er triumph in Boston.
Her popularity in the two cities
demonstrated to Mr.. Ziegfeld that the
day had arrived when Miss Miller
was in line for promotion to stardom.
so he lost no time IN perfecting all
arrangements to put the dainty dan
Ger forward next season as star.
The vehicle will, of course, be a
musical comedy. Gene Buck has been
commissioned to write the book and
lyrics. Dave Stamper is to supply
the score. "The Miller Girl" has been
selected as the title of the new Of
fering.
Miss Miller Is still In her teens.
having been born in Dayton, Ohio, in
1899. She made herSstage debut as
a toe dancer when she was five years
old. Later, with her father. mother,
and sisters, Marilynn made COM

Tin Whistle Brings
Success to Actor.


"Brand-new scenery for Washing
tom"
That is how some enterprising ad-
vertisers would herald the coming of
Lew Hilton-if they had only known
about II.
Because Lew Hilton has a new tin
whistle
To persons who are familiar with
the form of entertainment Hilton has
been purveying via the burlesaue
route for the past seven years this
statement probably would not mean
much. But to Hilton 1t means a whole
lot.
A new tin whistle is an event in his
young life, confessed Hilton, who is
the featured comedian with "The
Girls OF the y. S. A" at the Gayety
Theater this week, because the chance
he first got to go on the stage
came from a tin whistle. and he has
used one in his comedy work on the
stage ever since.
"I was an usher at the old Union
Square Theater in New York" states
Hilton. "I had tried out an act on the
stage, and it hadn't gone very we'll.
So l hiked back to Perth Amboy,
where the manager had left his COM
pany and managed to land a job as an
usher. / was nothing but kid, but
was an expert with q TIN whistle.
They are cheap, and ] always wanted
to play some sort of a musical in
strument.
"There was a vaudeville program
presented at the house on one occa-
sion in which the performers played
on a number OF musical instruments.
The boys about the theater. who
thought they'd have a good joke on
me. told the owner of the musical act
that l could play anything and could
provide all sorts of comedy-which
the act badly needed. The man asked
me to go on and l went-with the
tin whistle as the only musical in
strument in the world I knew any
thing at all about
Il walked on in my ordinary clothes,
played a couple of numbers on the
tin whistle and just clowned 1t. 1
think I made the biggest hit ever
made in my life. The applause GER
tainly sounded good. And I've been
working as a comedian ever since.
Why shouldn't I feel that a tin whis-
tie helped me, and why shouldn't
always use one? It's my one best bet,
and I've never written book for
show without a scene being provided
where the tin whistle is the star!

YANKS FIGHT SALES

American Legion officer Says
G. o. p. Plan Will Bring ex-
Soldiers Into 0isrepute.
ny wiNDEB II. HARRIS
OUniyer.aI seryieeD.

The American Legion is expected,
within the next few days, TO go on
record against the Republican plan
OF leyying a gross sales tax TO raise
revenue for soldier bonuses.
IL was learned here today that this
action is being considered by the ma
tionaI Officers OF the Organization In
response TO numerous protests against
the proposed form OF taxation from
officials and individual members or
the legion.
Col. Il. Lester Jones, head OF the
United States Coast and Geodetic sur
vey and a member of the national
executive committee OF the legion, to-
day. sent this telegram to National
Commander D'Olier:\
Urge you strongly to recommend
10 departments OF legion TO work hard
against present plan by committee OF
Congress for raising money by a con-
sumption tax to meet adjusted com
peusation bill, thereby placing burden
on poor people and creating perma-
nent disfavor for ex-service men.
Feeling is strong against taxing COM
modities of life, which, IL done. would
result in inevitable blame being
placed upon the soldier
Congressman Johnson, leader OF the
Republican insurgents, and Rainey,
heading the Democrats, in the night
for a tax on swollen war fortunes to
raise bonus revenue, have received a
flood of letters and kilograms from
soldiers protesting against the pro-
posed sales tax. Some of the ex-
service men said they would not ac-
cept a bonus II a sales tax was levied
to raise the money.

R|SQUEPAR|SPLAYS
PLEASE AMERICANS
Women in Nude Score Hit in
France, but Bring Bushes
In New York.
BY c. r. BERTELLI.
Universal Service.

PARIS. April PA deluge Of
risque plays unequalled in the history
of the French theater is sweeping
the Partisan stage today, according
to Morris Gest, the American theat-
rical producer, who is making the
rounds of the theaters here for hints
and inspirations.
These excesses, Mr.. Gest thinks. are
due primarily TO reaction from the
war, but he adds that Americans are
flocking nightly to see the risque
plays, and seem to like them. ....
II Visited Paris fifty-eight times
before the war to search the stage
here for novelties" he said today.
Then the Parisians aimed at pro
ducing essentially artistic plays. I'M
morality was present, of course, but
it was as a rule, only incidental. to
the development of the main story.
Now the French stage is running
to wild plays dealing with every con-
ceivable aspect of the sex problem
There are some notable exceptions, OF
course, for there are many great
artists on the Partisan stage, but the
majority of theaters are putting on
plays dealing with marital infidelity
and RIGHTEOUSNESS OF every oescrlp-
ton.
"At the Bergeres Fo1lies here dozen
nude women appear on the stage. In
New York, when ] produced "Aphro-
dite' last season, the presence OF ope
woman posing as a statue created
sensation which will never be for
gotten. Sermons were preached about
il, though the critics declared it was
artistic.
Paris thinks nothing of dozen
women absolutely nude being shown
before a curtain of black velvet.
Since IT is evident that Americans
when abroad drop their hypocrisy
and really enjoy these French plays.
| am going to give them a little bit
of Paris next autumn by presenting
'Afgar' in New York with Mile. Dely-
sia, the famous French star, in the
leading role which she is now play
ing in London"

Locke Realizes His
One Big Ambition.

Ever since Edward Locke forsook
his aboriginal vocation, and became
playwright, he has carefully nur-
tured an ambintion to write play
Of the South. Having spent many
wears of his life on that side of the
Mason-Dixon line he became familiar
with the habits and customs of its
inhabitants but never found a suit
able theme on which to base n play
which would reflect what he consid-
cred a worthy idea of the Land OF
Honeysuckles."
Not long ago Mr.. Locke and some
friends started on hunting trip in
Virginia, during the course of which
they suddenly came upon a stone wall
on which was nailed mo Trespass'
sign and like true hunters their Curl
Osity was aroused. A walk along the
outside of the four walls revealed no
sign Of habitation and no means OF
entrance and the party, except Mr..
Locke, decided to be on their way.
The playwright, however, had noted
the roof of an old Colonial house. re-
cent wagon tracks in a road leading
to gate. which was almost lost to
view behind NClump of high
bushes and a hedge. Without curbing
his curiosity Mr.. Locke continued to
explore when he was rudely admon-
ished to keep away.
Recognizing an unuistakablc
darlty dialect he pecrcd through the
hedge and discovered a negro who
looked to be at least 100 years old.
After considerable parlcy the colorcd
Guard informed Mr.. Locke that he was
on the threshold of the Shelby Hall
estate in Rappahannocl< county. That
its only inhabitants were old Colonel
Lee. his EranddauEhtcr, Dorothy
Dixie Lee, Nanny LisbCth and him
self. He further informed Mr.. Locke
that no stranger had been permitted
to enter the grounds during the past
fifteen years, and that he, Zachariah,
was the only member Of the house
hold who had, owing to the necessity
of securing supplies, left the place
during that period. Mr.. Lockc's i'm
formant went on to say that little
Miss Dor'thy had been educated by
her grandfather, and that she had
never received visitors of amy sort; In
fact. they had lived in scclusion ever
since the young lady came to stay
with them fifteen years ago.
This, then, was Mr.. Locke's inspira-
ton to write real Southern play.
The play will be presented here at
the Shubert-Garrick Thcatcr this
week, under the title OF "Dorothy
Dixie Lee"

The San Carlo
Repertoire.

. A coincidence Of the repertoire of
eight offerings announced for the en-
gagement of the San Carlo Opera
Company at the Belasco Theater dur
ing the week. beginning Monday. May
Sd, Is the almost complete manner
in which the list of operas selected
traces the advance of operate history
from the early Verdi to the modern
Puccini.' This lustration is not SO
apparent in the rotation of\perform-
annces arranged for the week, but
by listing the operas in their histor-
ical order: 'Rigoletto." I'll Trova-
tore" La Forza del Destino."
Faust" Aida" Carmen" 'Cayal-
leria Rusticana," "Pagliaccf" and
Madam Butterfly, the operate enthu-
sist finds most interesting exhibit
tion of operate development from the
EARLIEST to the latest models. Nat
urally, such an array also affords
wide-and attractive variety.
Verdi's "RigoIetto, Composed more,
than three-quarters Of a century ago,
is one of the finest examples of the
early bel canto"<form, in which the
individual voice was considered pre-
eminent, and in which each solo, duet;
trio or larger grouping was COM
posed and decorated with difficult pas
sages for the voice. with the orches-
ira figuring merely as accompani-
ment. The same composers I'll Tro-
vatore" represents the first step from
the old lydic form to the more drama
tic. and in La Forza del Destino,"
(The Force of Destiny, he shows
like cognizance of dramatic values,
which developed more in his later
operas. In Goupnod's Faust" the
Wagnerian influence is shown more
strongly than in preceding works,
and in verdis aida" the same infiu-
ence finds further expression, carry
ing the development toward true mu-
sic drama. Bizet's masterpiece, Car
men" shows the same recognition of
Wagner's progressive teaching and
also lays the foundation for the mod
ern "veritist" opera, of which classi-
fication two of the most successful are
Mascagni's "Cavalleria Rusticana"
and Leoncavallo's "Pagliacci," while
one of the most popular works that
cxemplify the latest development in
music drama is Puccinfs Madam
