ing OF a three-story hospital and a
rescue from the flames. which by
the way almost cost Edward Hearn

"LI1TIE OLD NEW YORK"
One Of the genuine hits Of the
last Broadway season and play
of rare charm is Little old New
York" with Genevieve Tobin, which
will commence its Playhouse en-
gagement this evening. 1t will re-
main until Saturday night. Rida
Johnson Young has added greatly to
her glory by her authorship OF this
play, which ran for ten consecutive
months. TO capacity crowds, at the
Plymouth Theatre in New York
City
Mrs. Young has given theatre
goers a glimpse of New York as It
was a century ago, peopling II with
some OF the towns historical cele-
brities. John Jacob Astor. Corne-
lius Vanderbilt. Washington Irving
and Henry Brevoort are among the
famous Manhattanites who are in
troduced in the play.
But history is just one part OF the
story. 1t makes the background
OF the plays romance more real and
1t gives a quality OF stability and
new interest to the Offering.
The real romance of Little Old
New York" is that Of Patricia O'Day
and Larry Delevan. Patricia comes
from Ireland and in the guise and
clothes OF a young blade of that
period, proceeds to impersonate her
brother Pat. recently dead and heir
to a great fortune.
Genevieve Tobin plays the part of
Pat. Her charming gracefulness
and her brilliant humor in the role
won for her the hearts OF all Broad
way. She is a sweet, sincere little
actress whose attributes are too
manifold for recitation here.
All the players OF the original New
York company will offer the piece

Her First Role Is
With Fred Stone
Miss Helen Rich Gets Her First
Stage Experience in
Tip Top

The usual story of how girl obsains
her first theatrical engagement done
into continuity form goes something like
this:
Beautiful girl convinces friends hy
home singing and by appearances IN
small concerts that she has wonderful
voice, tho very voice in fact for which
a hundred managers are searching. Beau
tiful girl takes her voice and calls at
managers office where she sings The
Rosary" whereupon the manager
passes into a trance emerging only after
manager has engaged her for life
at a fabulous figure, either in real or
stage money, it being a story no one
is particular how much or which.
There is the other or real side Of the
picture of the beautiful but unappreci-
ated queen from the ladies' ready 70
wear, camping in countless offices with
the countless others who would seek the
stage Here a brief resume OF the con
tinuity shows our heroine taking road

chorus, rising to the front row, and then
battling her way to the top either IS a
singer or a dancer by much the same
virtues-hard work and more hard
work-that would have made her a
woman foreman or perhaps women
Duyer, with annual trips to Paris, htd
she remained in her native CLOAK and
suit department.
The second side of the picture being
the rule it must have an exception by
which to prove II, and Miss Helen Rich.
who is singing the role of Fairy Jasticid
with Fred Stone in Tip Top" at the
Globe Theatre, is that exception. Becom-
ing a Broadway singer, was as simple
as the first side of the picture to Miss
Rich She had been pupil OF Herbert
Wotherspoon and she had given a few
concerts and recitals with the usual dis
appointing financial results that are
experienced by all but the stars of the
concert field. So she called the Globe
Theatre by telephone, made an appoint
ment. and sang for r. H. Burnside. who
staged the Fred Stone production. She
sang WELL she was small, pretty and a
blonde--just the person Mr.. Burnside
needed for the role of the Fairy, and
she was engaged.
But a warning to the stage struck
should accompany the story of Miss
Rich Mr.. Burnside says that it is not
more than once in 100 years that girl
without stage experience, as was Miss
Rich, can expect to become a principal
in a Broadway musical extravaganza,
and particularly in a Fred Stone show,
