At the Hippodrome

Novelties and new attractions are
constantly being added to Good
Times" at the Hippodrome, despite the
fact of this being the seventh month
of the big spectacle. This week new
scene, "The Magic Grotto,' will be
added making the fourteenth in the
extravaganza, and in it Nanette Flack,
as Neptune's daughter will have new
musical number, entitled Sing a Sere-
made" This will serve as prelude
to the aquatic sports in which the
Berlo Sisters and the other divers and
swimmers continue TO introduce new
features. The Pender Troupe Of
Pantomimists from the Drury Lane

entertainment. and the old and-bys.

Plays Many Parts
For Theater Guild
And Uses Polyglot

"a ELEM WEsTLEY, who appears
N1 in every production of the Thea
ter Guild, says that she will col
lect enc of the best repertoires of
dialect in the world, if that organiza-
tion adheres to its policy Of giving
plays from alt countries. Just now Mrs.
Westley plays the part of Lady Marden
in mir. PIN Passes By which opened
at the Garrick Theater last Monday
night In Bernard Shaw's "Heartbreak
House. which preceded "Mr. Pim,"
Mrs Wcstley was also English But
there she played the part of servant,
and between the speech of cockney
servant and the leading lady of the
county there is a great difference, as
every one knows.
To follow her linguistic course back
ward, in "The Treasure" by pinski,
Mrs. Wcstley played the part of Rus
sian Jewess. Since the Theatcr Guild
opened, less than two years ago, she
has also been Irish, Spanish, Swedish
and Japanese. Once she played the
part Of an American, in "Silas Lap
ham, but, strangely enough, she did
not find it any easier to speak in plain
"Americanese" than she does in the
other parts. She has become so ac-
customed, she says, to playing women Of
all countries that when she goes upon
the stage she quite expects to- assume,
along with her makeup, another speech
than the one she uses oNstage.
Lady Marden, in "Mr. PIN Passes
By" is not young woman-shc boasts
Of being sixty-five years old, and is
equally proud of the fact that she is a
spinster. In one of her speeches she
gives, quite unconsciously, her view of
marriage when she says: Didn't you
see your first husband die? I should
always want to see my husband die
She is justified in her surprise, be-
cause her husbands niece, played by
Laura Hope Crewes, seems to have
been bigamist, because she over
looked the little matter of seeing her
first husband die. And Lady Marden
is naturally triAe surprised when, as
she says, II go down to see the pigs
and come back in ten minutes to find
that Olivia is bigamist."

Mary Stuart, Honey Pot
To Be Z Produced Next Week

-cism has been busy with the "casket
letters supposed to show her guilt
with Boutwell,, and perhaps has failed 10
shake their testimony. But more to-day
than any mystery CT guilt or innocence
IN a crime which was only too like the
run OF things in that age is the MYSTERY
Of Mary's personality-hcr soul, if YOU
will, her individuality. 1t is that, a
reader Of Drinkwater's poems can
guess, which interests the English poet.
The first thought of Mary is, per
haps, purely pictorial. Here was
lovely, slim girl, with skin so trans
parent they said you could see the
red wine go down her throat, with
French manners, with dash and charm
Stuart dash and charm, that never
Jared we'll in dour England-queening
it in rock-ribbed, gloomy Edinburgh,
set over against the tough lords, with
their skrling bagpipers and the hard
fanaticism Of Protestant John Knox.
What a contrast! How dramatic! one
instinctively exclaims. And then the
shadow Of Elizabeth Of England there
to the south, each queen a scheming
menace to the other.
But it Is no external contrast and
conflict which has captured Drink
waters imagination. In this play Mary
does not dash into battle, pistols at
belt, nor dance the night through with
her court, drawing the men to her by
her magic and causing John Knox's
epithet of "Honey Pot" What has in

Margaret-You' u're right. We can't

UcdlSI, is one OF q ScIleS OIL
dramas written or projected by Mr..
Drinkwater, in which the leading figure
IS historical person. The first play,
of course, was "Abraham Lincoln" ,"
which ran all last season in New York
and is now touring the country. This
present drama about poor Mary Queen
of Scots will be the second play. The
drama Of Cromwell is already written.
The fourth drama which Drinkwater
has in mind is based on an American
figune, General Robert E. Lee.
Mary of Scotland, from the very day
when, slip of girl of nineteen, she
doffed her widows weeds and landed
through the fog on the soil of her ma
tive Scotland, has intrigued (you can't
dodge that word) mems minds and
hearts. So long as she lived she in
spired intense love and devotion and
sometimes intense hatred. After her
death, with the mysteries Of her share
in the murder of Darnley still unsolved,
she went on inspiring intense partisan
ship and intense curiosity By the year
1900, or only little moro than a CEN
tury after her execution, there were
already more than 200 titles listed in

By Heywood Broun

T HE revival Of Romance with
~ Doris Kcane, serves ~ show
W once again that manners in
drama change pretty COM
pctely every once and SO often. In
comparison with Gilda Varesi's "Enter
Madame" OF the present season, "Ro-
nance seems stilted and artificial.
The niece has had, of course, enormous
Vitality IN the theater, but much of
this must be ascribed to the work of
Miss Doris keene. Certainly the play
IS not appealing on the printed page
"Ah, don talk dat vayl But come
sect 'ere. You are all shaking-seel
you vii catch col'." and all such
speeches seemed dull and labored with
dialect until an actress smoothes over
the rough phonetic reproductions Of the
italian tang and makes il vital.
Doris Keane does that. In the part
she Is, every inch of her, an Italian.
Accordingly, it might be said that since
hrst playing Romance" she has be-
come more Italian than ever. Now the
play seems just little more like the
romance of Tetrazzini than that of
Csvallini, but it is still glamorous.
Edward Sheldon might say very per-
ansntly in response to any criticism of
ne printed play that Romance" was
never intended for readers, but only
ior listeners. The play is full of tricks,
aos all Of which are so bald as they
seem upon cold second thought. How
ever, there is one particular dramatic
aeSlce OF Sheldons which has grown
upon him to the point where it seems
little absurd even during the most
perfect performance. In his first play,
oaivation Nell" there was a rousing
scene In the first act, which was laid
IN parroom, in which the heroine was
'siieo upon to decide between the
saVice OF two women who were. urging
"ef IN opposite directions. One was q

the famous theater of thrillers. Mr..
Mccormick has commissioned Georges
Plateau, the French actor now appear
ing in "rhe Tyranny of Love" at the
-ijou Theater, to arrange for the
transfer Of plays forming the roper
tory of the Partisan house that would
be most suitable for production here.
Mr.. Plateau will appear in some OF

r'ous illness, but he expects to be able
to go abroad in time to witness .he

The genial spirit of the old green

cluster so many of the traditions OF
the stage, has been revived down at the

the little restaurant that serves guests
Of the theater, has just been opened

.pentant singer his blessing as he de-
parts to join the choir which is march
ing UP town gathering in all waits for a
midnight service. This particular scene
has never failed to impress audiences,
and yet it seems silly business. The
virtue of anybody which depends sole
iy upon the will and whim Of another
can hardly be said to be particularly
persuasive or inspiring.
"Nice People" by Rachel Crothers, has
seized upon the notion now prevalent
that the young people of our day are
q much wilder set than were their
grandm others. Knowing neither the
grandmothers nor the young people
particularly well, it is impossible for
US to say whether or not we believe
the validity Of the theme. We have
seen a good many letters to the news
papers about it, but not everything
which gets into the press is to be ac-
cepted literally. However, whether
sound or not, the theme affords Miss
Crothers material for lively play.
Like many plays Of the same sort, there
is room for the lurking suspicion that
the playwright has written her reform
ing play not 80 much for the sake Of
reform as for logical and plausible
excuse to introduce the interesting
high jinks which precedc reform. One
of the benefits Of getting into q state Of
literary rage at any form of wicked
ness is that you have the privilege of
describing that wickedness in a great
deal Of detail.

By DUDLEY

Seated in front of the Rainbow
hotel at Great Falls one early sum
mer's day was Henry Burmeister, an
old-time successful sheepman who
had operated neal Cascade, Montana,
then retired and since deceased. A
vacant chair was beside him and ]
took it. He had evidently been medi-
tating over the early and more ex-
citing days of the past and was in
a reminiscent mood. He was of Ger
mar birth, had come to this country
as a young man and had made good,
a man of absolute integrity and the
soul of honor. I was no sooner seat
ed than he launched into an account
of an overland trip he had taken
from Bozeman, Montana, to the
Black Hills in 1876, in the days of
the gold excitement there. He spoke
in a pronounced German accent
which I shall not attempt to initiate.
II have read the history and diff
ferent accounts of the early days in
the Black Hills" he said, "but / have
never seen a true account of the
murder of Wild Bill Hickok." He
paused, then continued, II was an
eyewitness to that tragedy" OBJ
serving that l was quite interested
in his statement, he narrated to me
his trip to the Black Hills, the de-
tails of which I will not relate, but
some of the features which particu-
larly interested me I will mention.
He PREPARED his account by saying,
you know, I was the discoverer of
the richest gold mine in the Black
Hills, and after working it for awhile
the claim was jumped and ! was
beaten out of it." This was getting
even more interesting and I settled
down to listen.
