WOULD RESTRICT VAUDEVILLE PAY

London May 1- Great Britain's theatrical profession has taken a stand intended to prevent persons be- ing offered hattering contracts for vaudeville turns merely because notoriety has chanced to bring them prominently before the public eye.
 A young girl violnist recently dis appeared, leaving her clothes on the bank of the Thames and a note say ing it would be useless to search for her. Newspaper editors, however ap- praising the public interest always manifested in a nationwide "girl hunt" published front page appeals from the girls parents, garnished with "box car'' headlines and three column portraits, asking her to re- turn. A few days later it developed she had eloped with a young French man.
 Then theatrical agents got busy and the girl, whose name had become familiar throughout the country, was offered $400 week to do a ten minute "act'' on the vaudeville stage. But meetings of actors and vaude- vile artists associations were held and the word went forth that none of their members would participate in an entertainment in which the Sgirl was on the program. The offer to the girl was withdrawn.

POLI'S.

For the last time today audiences will be given opportunities of viewing an unusual offering of vaudeville and photoplay. Leading the screen fea- lures is "Blind Youth,'' from the stage success written by Lou TeI1egen and Willard Mack
 tBlind Youth" is a picture which must impress all who see it, not only by the dramatic quality of the plot development, but by the careful at tention that is given to every detail which tends to make the portrayal more realistic.
 From the drawing-room of Fifth avenue and the studios of Greenwich village, to the ateliers of Paris and the garrets of Montmarte-so the characters of the story travel.
 Leading the stage presentation for today The Ward Sisters, Dolley and Behrend offer an unusually classy and distinctive act in which the piano, dancing and other specialties lead This act has attracted cordial com ment throughout the city and is en- titled to the high praise it has re- ceived.
 Mullen and Francis, extreme fa- vorites in a comedy singing, talking and fun-making act, score round1y at every performance. They have much that is new and snappy in the con- versational feast.
 Paul Decker & Co.,, in the comedy sketch entitled And Son. add a dis tinct1y new phase to the pateBnal side of business and home life. There are laughs galore and much funda- mental philosophy throughout the sketch.
 ziska and King add zest to magic in the manner of their presentation. Kurt and Edith Kuhn, the girl with the violin and the man with a voice and impersonistic art complete an excellent bill, not forgetting the Pathe News and Pathe Review.

SHUBERT.

MT. Leo Ditrichstein in 'TThe Pur- pie Mask will be the attraction at the Shubert, New Haven, for three nights, commencing Monday. MT. Ditrichstein has been appearing in this play during the past several months at the Booth theatre in New York, and achieved in it what may be very well called an astonishing success. It is an adaptation of the French play, "Le Cheva1ier au Masque,'' by Paul Armont and Jean Manoussi. It was adapted for the English stage by Matheso Lang. In both Paris and London it was receiv- ed with very unusual favor. having run for upwards of year in each of these capito1s. ''The Purple Mask is frankly a romantic melodrama. It is in five acts and is according to all &C., counts, crowded to the utmost with thrills. The action of the play cen ters about the conflict of the royal iSts and the masses during the Ma poleon era. and MT. Ditrichstein is seen in the role of Armand, the chev- a1ier of "The Purple Mask,'' whose exploits have thrilled all Europe. MT. Ditrichstein is largely responsible for '"The Purple Mask in it's present form, for into the four acts he has condensed the most exciting, roman tic melodrama that the American stage has ever seen. Although the play was a huge success in London, Mir Ditrichstein and his excellent company have made it really the dramatic sensation of the present New York season. MT Ditrichstein' $ supporting company will include Lily Cahi11, Albert Brown, Florence, Car penter, Orlando Da1y, Waiter Howe, Burr Caruth, Boots Wooster, Mar garet Sutherland, Josephine Hammer and others.
