Mr.. Fields's jubilee reunion with Joe

reunion and the cast included, besides

Vivian Martin on
The Technique of
Acting in Pajanas

Vivian Martin, who is featured with
the Shubert Theater, finds that there
is a decided art in playing the role
in pajamas. Miss Martin plays very
nearly the whole of the second act in
pajamas opposite MIR. Overman in B.
V. Dis. and a draped sheet.
II use great many pajamas," says
Miss Martin, "and I wear out many

pajamas one has to start with pretty
pajamas if one is to retain the SYM

But the action calls for me to get out

to adopt sort of pajama technique of

E. Baer Appointed
Vice-Conductor of
Rivoli Orchestra
<<= TIE A s Ge
L)ozzI5g

Emanuel Baer, who for the last few
years has been Hugo Riesenfcld's chief
assistant in preparing the musical
scores to motion pictures, assumes to-
day the assistant conductorship of the
Rivoli orchestra, the organization of
fifty musicians of which Frederick
Stahlberg is the conductor. Mr.. Baer's
promotion follows close upon the rise
Of Joseph Littau from assistant conduc-
tor at the Rivoli to conductor of the
Rialto orchestra.
Mr.. Baer is native of New York and
received his musical education here.
At the age of six he began the study
of the piano under Palo Calico, fell
low student with Hugo Riesenfeld at
the Vienna Conservatory. He COM
pleted his musical studies under Ra-
phael Joseffy and began his professional
| career as pianist at the age Of fif-
! teen. When the Rialto Theater was
opened Mr.. Baer was it's pianist, and,
on occasions, conducted the Rialto or
chestra. He soon became assistant to
Mr.. Riesenfeld in the preparation of
special photoplay music.
When the Missouri Theater, the most
beautiful photoplay theater in St.
Louis, was opened few months ago
Mr.. Riesenfeld sent Mr.. Baer to that
city to supervise the music policy of
the playhouse during it's first weeks.
Mr.. Baer has remarkable faculty
for playing piano music at sight, and
for that reason was called on to play
Accomplishments for aspiring young
singers who attended additions at the
Riesenfeld theaters and could not af
ford their own pianist. In the course
of this work-his contributions to the
young vocalists-he has played &C
compartments for fully 5000 singers.
He has also played every piece Of
music which was later heard at the
Rialto, Rivoli and Criterion theaters.
The entire music program of each of
the three theaters has been played by
Mr.. Baer on the piano, so that in ar
ranging the programs with Mr.. Riesen-
field the full musical significance, from
the elaborate music setting of photo
play to the. humblest solo, could be
harmonized.

I and Weber appeared as the two Ger.
man characters, which will be remem-
bered as long as the famous Music
Hall lives in the recollection of the
public.
The company of players associated
with Lew Fields in the heyday Of the
Weber-Fields travesty entertainment,
began as near the bottom Of the ladder
of fame as the two entertainers who
tumbled out of variety into the music
hall undertaking. 1t is interesting to
| recall them to-day in view of the fact
that many became stars of magnitude
and brilliancy. The aggregation in
cluded David Warfeld, Lillian Russell
William Collier, De Wolf Hopper, Sam
Bernard, Louis Mann, Fritz Williams
Charles J. Ross, John T. Kelly, Lee
Harrison, Peter F. Daley, Fay Temple
ton, Marie Dressler and other names
which have since become famous on
the stage. Of this original company
tenanting the old Weber & Fields
Music Hall, De Wolf Hopper alone is
associated with Mr.. Fields in the revue
now on view at the Selwyn, although
Nora Bayes appeared with Weber and
Fields when they had their reunion in
1912, after period Of dissolved rela-
tionships. But this is getting a bit
ahead of the story.
MIR. Fieldss Ventures in
Musical Comedy Field
The partnership between Weber and
Fields was dissolved in 1904, when Mr
Fields formed new relationship with
Hamlin and Mitchell as his copart-
ners. This firm opened the Lew Fields
Theater-now the Frazee-with q musi.

Glen Marlborough. The following yea,

Marie Dressler, Nora Bayes, Bessie
Clayton and Clifton Crawford.
From time to time Mr.. Fields has
taken long flyers into musical comedy.
Of which "Blue Eyes" was the latest.
but never has he been more successful
than in travesty. His keen sense of
humor and inimitable burlesque strokes
are factors which always insure his
instant popularity in satire.

Wbe Evolution of 4 5tar
Aem ftelns

Unlike most New Workers, Lew Fields
was born in this city, and it is here
that his brilliant career in the theater
began. And New York has been the
scene of his highest accomplishments in
the field of production as we'll as that OF
acting.
1t was in travesty that he first won
his public, and it is in travesty that he
is still binding his audiences to him with
the golden cords of laughter, for into
his capable hands fall some Of the most
delightful comedy moments of the sa.
tirical skits which are woven into "Sel-
wyn's Snapshots of 1921" the musical
revue at the Selwyn Theater.
In Glen MacDonoughs cleverly con-
trived "Hat Shop" number Mr.. Field:
employs the same broad brush to paint
in the fun as the one he used in the
old Weberieldian days. The same
thing may be said of his characteriza-
tons in "The Eternal Triangles," "The
Children's Hour in a Modern Nursery
CLARA De Loon" and "Who Done 1t ?"---
all travesties on current plays and topics
of the day. In these clever burlesques
Mr.. Fields fairly wipes out the years
between 1895 and 1921, the former be-
ing the date of the first Weber e.
Fields Music Hall trxvesty on Broad
way drama.
Aristophanes Period
Of the American Theater
The opening burlesque sponsored by
Weber and Fields was on "The Heart
of Maryland" in which Mrs. Leslie
Carter made an early success. The
next travesty they presented was on
"The Geisha" and known as "The
Geezer," and this was followed by
satires entitled "Under the Red
Globe" "Pousse Cafe" "The Corn
cutters" "Hurly- Burly," "Cyranse, y

"Whirl-i-gig,' Barbara Fidgety," Gid

UNIT HOLDERS ARE
AFTER SETTLEMENT

LEWISTOWN, Dec. 19.-While
Gordon Campbell and Helen M.
Campbell, of this city, brought suit
in the district court here today
against L. C. Stevenson over the af-
fairs and holdings of the Gordon
Campbell-Kevin Syndicate, the sec
ond in a few weeks, A. P. Haywood,
an attorney Of Helena, also brought
another action against both L. c..
Stevenson and Gordon Campbell.
In the action Of the Campbells
against Stevenson it is asked that the
court cancel the contract between
them regarding what is known as
"Sunburst" acreage and leases to that
ground, in Toole county, and invilving
its title. The agreement forming the
basis of the suit was entered into, ac-
cording to the complaint, through er-
ror, and because of the failure Of the
defendant, as the fiscal agent Of the
Gordon Campbell-Kevin Syndicate,
to inform the plaintiffs as to the act
ual status of the fiscal affairs of
that syndicate. The plaintiffs main
tain that it was the duty of the de-
fendant, as the fiscal agent, to in
form them, before entering this con-
tract with him, as to the actual cOndi-
tions. They also allege that there is
no consideration for the contract.

represented by ]. A. Poore, Of Butte
