may not be realized.
The first task before tho finance

What we particularly wanted to do
was an interview with the maronettes,
who-or is it which ?-open Mrs. Fiske's
play at the Henry Miller Theater. You
see, Marion and Jonathan and the
poet demonstrate conclusively in the
prologue that though the cave man
may rap Marion over the head with
his club and drag her into his lair
she will eventually tire of listening to
the tales of his prowess and will re-
turn to the poet. This was the first
tirle we ever had seen any marionettes,
and NC consider them the most perfect
comedians in the world. No realization
Of the humors Of their doings ever
,nars their performance. Marion is a
blonde vampire who wears her hair
short and curled like Gilda Gray;
Jonathan is large and delights in feats
Of strength, and the poet is pale and
aesthetic. Even then it seems that
poets were not appreciated, for he is
.hin and apparently suffering from
marionettes they fascinate you; per-
haps they continue to fascinate you,
hut that we cannot say until we have
tried them out. We suspect, however,
that they would like new evening
wrap or a husband, and that was why
we wanted to go up and interview
them-perhaps be allowed to pull the
strings. But heartless publicity di-
rector said: Nonsense! You can't in

Once up at the Century Theater we

But we still love to watch perform

Especially when it says, as it does
in the Henry Miller Theater: "No one

the stage before, after or during the
performance"
In real life Charles Dalton is the
cave man. His name is Jonathan and
he is the same man who played the
same sort of part in THE Twelve

that in plays all the men with money
are stupid and uninteresting? OF
course, Jonathan had S10O,000,0O0, but
we know one man who is reputed to
have $75,000,000 and he is just as
funny as though he were starving to
death. And, by the same token, the
poor poet is always a lovable, humor-
GUS fellow. In this case the poet is
played by Howard Lang. One reason
that we enjoy the theater so much is
because the illusion has remained. We
still believe htat the train will kill little

Ella Shields Wins British
! raise and Will Soon TOP
Bills for Keith Theaters

In London they call her "The Ideal
of Ideals" In America she is gener-
ally conceded to be among the best
entertainers that have come from any
foreign shore for some time. While
Americans are correct as to Ella
Shields's entertainment ability, they
are wrong, as rule, when it comes to
determining her nationality. Instead
of English she is a native born Amer
lean, hailing from Baltimore.
Miss Shields was comparatively un-
known in America until she returned
last year, following several years spent
in London, where she scored an un-
qualified success as a male imperson-
ator. One of England's popular forms
Of characte rization by women is male
impersonation. The best liked music
hall condolences are invariably those
who play "boys" Almost without ex-
caption the leading role in the English
pantomime is boy played by win
some girl. Ella Shields portrays
three types of man: young swash-
buckling naval officer, swank, swag-
ger Piccadilly chap and gentleman
"on his uppers."
Miss Shields loves America and, now
that she has reached the top of the lad
der, she intends to let no year 20 by
without coming over to play several
weeks for the home folks. She recently
arrived in the United States and will
soon appear topping bills in the Keith
theaters.
