''Dangerous Business" at the
Strand, Is Constance Tai.
madge's Latest Triumph
By Harriette UnderhiIl

Trying to gain an entrance into the
Strand Theater Sunday night was
dangerous business simply because
every one else was trying to do the
same thing We thought when we
came out Of the Capitol that every
body in New York was there to see
Fairbanks. but decided when we got
down to the Strand that at least half
OF them had gone to see Constance
Taimadge.
"Dangerous Business is her latest

and nice, human titles.
Miss Talmadge appears TO be more
fascinating than ever oefore. but
maybe this is only because one forgets
between pictures just how fascinating
she can be- She is cast as Nancy
Flavell, a girl who loves madly every

"Await further orders from me"
You see, Clarence had been giving
orders for couple Of years on the
other side and he is quite changed
so he drags Nancy home with him and
makes her stay there. too. This gives
Miss Talmadgc chance to exercise
.al Of her peculiar talents, and we
wish to state right here that If any
other ingenue did what Miss Talmadge
does we should hate her, because she
would probably be acting, and Con

Assail Ziegfeld's Statement
Producers Assert Reduction in
.Sctors' Salaries L. Impossible

Florenz ziegfeld's statement at the
Academy Theater, Baltimore, Saturday
night, that actors salaries were cX-
or5itant and that they must be re-
duccd if productions are to continue
was denounced as impossible by theat-
rical producers and managers yester-
day.
Archibald Selwyn. Of Selwyn G. Co.,
in statement said that, so far as the
Selwyn Productions were concerned,
such reduction not only was not feast
bic and unfair to actors, but impossible,
because of the fact that all Of the
Seiwyn stars are holders Of long-term
contracts, most of which carry clause
providing for an annual increase over
the primary figure.
We feel that the work Of actors is
largely responsible for the success Of
plays, the statement continues, "and
that the actors are entitled to a fair
return on the successes which they
create
The Shubert firm said it was giving
the question no consideration.
At the constitutional meeting Of the
Actors Equity Association at the Hotel
Astor yesterday the question of salaries
was not discussed.

Prelate's Ban ON Theater
Criticized by Gilmore

Frank Gilmore. executive secretary
of the Actors Equity Association, is
sued statement yesterday deploring
the attitude of Bishop Joseph f. Berry,
senior Bishop Of the Methodist Church
in America, regarding stage people and
persons who attend the theatcr.
"If Bishop Berry's attitude typifies
modern Christianity" Gilmore said,
chow far must he have departed from
the preachings of its founder
At the conference of the Methodist
Board of Bishops Bishop Berry was
quoted as saving that neither actors
nor persons who went to the theate1
were wanted in the Methodist Episco-
pal Church.
"This ban, if enforced" Gilmore
said, "would either drive out or debar
from the privileges Of the Methodist
Church over so per cent of the inhabi-
tants of the United States
In this estimate Gilmore included
persons who attend motion picture
theaters.

The language of aviation does not
readily supply the word to describe the
successful fight by an airplane which
has lost wing. Maybe an ace might
call her a good old bus. But that
would give no adequate idea of the ex-
hilarating performance of "The Broken
Wing" which tumbled into the Forty
eighth Street Theatcr last night.
This new comedy by Paul Dickcy and
Charles w. Goddard is the love story
Of an American aviator and 4 Mexican
girl in village 1870 miles south of the

characteristics of the bad man" who

Miss Marta de la Tore Gives
First Violin Recital in Cit,

Miss Marta de la Tore, violinst
who gave her first recital in this city
last evening in Acolian Hall, is a young
woman who has made a considerable
advance along the line OF technical pro
ficiency, but whose interpretations are
essentially immature. The Tartini D
minor Concerto. with which she COM
menced the program, showed at once
her best and weakest points. She has
a skillful left hand, an agile bow and d
sure attack, but monotony of tone
color that read but little into the music

which followed. proved be ond her at
tainments, though she strove valantlS
with its difficulties. In the shorter
pieces that followed there was more
finish, especially in Rondo of Mozart
arranged by Kreisler She was well re-
ceived by an audience OF good size.

Columbia Show Suggestive

Close to the burlesque of an older
and less critical day is the "Folues
la Mode,' presented yesterday after
noon at the Columbia Theater by the
Roseland Girls, with Bert Lahr as the
principal comedian.
The book Of the production contains
more suggestive passages than any five
or six shows which have preceded it
at the theater. 1t mas been demon
stratcd at the Columbia that burlesque
can be thoroughly amusing without be-
ing offensive. Evidently the producers
of yesterdays show do not know t! is.
The first act, except sor the singing
by Smith. Lynch and Smith and for
the staging of the final scene, contains
no bright spots.
! The second act is much better. Bert
Lahr is one Of the best comedians of
the season, but he is greatly hanJ-
capped by the material he is force to
use
