New Ritz Theater Is Added
To the Shuberts' String
Of New York Playhouses

~ HE Ritz Theater, the newest of a
W. group of playhouses to be erected
by the Shuberts in the Forties,
will open Monday night with John
Hrinkwater's new drama, MARY Stu
art" produced by William Harris jr.
The Ritz is in Forty-eighth Street,
just west of Broadway. With seating
capacity of 945, it is suitable for both
dramatic and musical productions,
though it is primarily designed for the
former. The stage is sufficiently large
TO accommodate elaborate productions.
It's dimensions at the proscenium are
I'd feet high by 40 feet wide.
The decorative scheme makes the
theater one of the most beautiful in
this country. An original design,
worked out by artists Of the Shubert
scenic studio, utilizes Roman gold
leaf effect that is suggestive of the
period of the italian Renaissance.
Brilliant colors are combined effective
", but always with the purpose of con-
veying soft and quiet tone to the eye.
Thus, there IS suggestion of the strik-
ing as we'll as the soothing in the color

scheme. The Ritz is the only theater
il. New York to employ such decora-
tive idea.
First the walls and ceiling are paint
ed with gold leaf. Then they are an
t.qued to give dull effect. After that
plaster designs of Italian scroll are ap-
piled. A reproduction of an Italian
conception of Drama" has been paint
ed on the ceiling above the proscenium
arch.
|. The smoking and lounge roem ex-
tends the entire width of the audito-
rum. Both mems and women's rooms
are on the balcony floor.
In the construction of the theater the
Shuberts claim worlds record. Work
en- the Ritz was begun December 81
End the structure was completed March
IA, period Of sixty-six days. The
construction was entirely done during
the winter months. This breaks the
previous record established in the con-
struction of the Ambassador Theater,
recently opened with "The Rose Girl
which was built in eighty-two days.

Many Playwrights Have Tried Their
Hands at the Maids Tragedy

. 6HfN ARGARET ANGLIN'S produc-
4h& tion Of "The Trial of Joan OF
y H. Arc" to be given under the
auspices of the Knights of
Columbus for Herbert Hoover's Euro
pean Relief Fund, will take place on
Easter Day the Century Theater. A
symphony orchestra will play Tschai-
kowsky's opera, "The Maid of Orleans, )"
which cQmposes the musical setting for
the drama.
Joan of Arc is perhaps the most
dramatic woman's character in history.
Hers is the feminine figure most often
dramatized. The bare facts of her story
are SO intensely dramatic they fairly
demand to be clothed in play form, and
even as they stand, they fall naturally
into dramatic sequences.
Small wonder then that so many play
wrights have tried their hands at the
tragedy of Joan of Arc. Only nine
years from the day Of her martyrdom at
the stake she was made to appear in i.
mystery play, lie Mystere du siege
d'Orleans." Throughout the seven
teenth century her story entered time
and again into poetic dramas. In the
eighteenth century Schiller wrote a
tragedy about her. About the same
Ftime, in 1898, one of the first American
dramas was written by John Daily Burke
on "Joan of Arc, or Female Patriot
ISM" In the last fifty years there has
been steady stream of dramas writ
ten about her, accumulating since her
canonization into veritable food.
Yet, curiously enough, though the
bare story itself is 50 dramatic, none
of the playwrights who have used it
have been willing to take it as it
stands. Either they have felt impelled
to thicken the plot or they have de-
liberately used the helpless maid for
propaganda purposes.
T The most obvious kind of thickening
introduced into Joan's story is Hlove
interest" A young girl without a
lover has been too unusual heroine
for vast number of dramatists. John
Burke, the eighteenth century American
playwright, gave her for lover one ST
the courtiers, Chastel, and msde their
inopportune philandering in military
crisis, the beginning of the turn Of the
tide against her. Percy MacKaye, who
wove poetic pageant-drama around
her story q few years ago, made
d'Alencon the lover, and he, too, gave
to the lover the first evil influence in
her destiny. For d,Alencon DESTROYED
her faith in her mystical voices, and ii
was the loss Of this faith that first
made her fail.
To give Joan Of Arc lover is no,
merely to falsify the historical facts
but It is to lose the essential sienifi.
cance Of her character. For it was
her moral aioofness. her transcendent
purity, that SO inspired her. soldiers
and carried them to the heights of
spiritual enthusiasm that made them
victorious.
But, though it is Inaccurate to por-
tray the maid as the victim Of her
own passion, these romances have vio-
lated her spirit less than have the

~ N UNUSUAL condition jim the
~ theatrical world is evidenced by
the opening of five new plays< this
week, the one preceding Easter. In

garded as time not only unpropitious
for the presentation of new offerings.

lished successes were cure to suffer q
falling off in attendance and receipts.
This year, however, has proved such
a banner year in the theater, anu there
have been so many new pieces anxious
to move into the first house left vacant
for week or two, that the old tradi-
tion of it's being wiser to lay off the
company and darken the houlE during
Holy Week seems likely to pass into
oblivion.
John Drinkwater's second historical
drama, Mary Stuart" will have its
premiere tomorrow night, under the
direction Of William H. Harris jr., at
the new Ritz THcater, in West Forty
eighth Street. A pantomime by Austin
Strong, "A Man About Town." will be
given as q curtain raiser to supplement
the Drinkwater play. The perform
snce will begin promptly at $3.50, and
late comers will not be seated until
the conclusion of the pantomime at 8
o'clock There will be short intermis-
sion, but once the drama has begun no
more persons will be seated. This is
because the story of "Mary Stuart is
told in single continuous action, with
the scene laid iii Mary's rooms in Holy
rood Castle. The time is early in her
career as Queen Of Scotland, when she
was a young and beautiful woman
The action leads up to the murder OF
Riceio and eliminates with the en-
trance Of Boutwell, intimately into her

he endeavored to Apply modern psg-

to explain her to the present~day

of the most misunderstood women Of

propagandists. Joan of Arc was the
exponent of one great message, "Saye
France and crown the King" And
unlike most propagandists, she herself
achieved her own purpose. 1t seems
hardly fair, therefore, to tag onto her
some other banner. Nationalist patriot
ism she can, perhaps, consistently ex-
pound. Certainly any number of French
dramatists have used her as mouth
piece for this moral lesson. But any
creed more remote from her original
theme is scarcely relevant to her
story.
Yet many have been the platforms
bui}ded beneath her. Ardent Monarch
ist, fighting to crown her monarch,
John Burke nevertheless undertook to
make her heroine at the very height
of Republican enthusiasm both in
America and France, when the revolu-
tion had achieved apparent success in
establishing representative govern
ment under the Directory. Obviously,
to popularize Joan the MonsFchist just
after the revolution she had at least
to be- interpreted. So at the climax
of her own victory she explains her
self to the crowd:
'Tis not to crown the Dauphine prince

But onto head OF every man In France
To place q crown, and thus at once create

M ELI STORY, who is to be one of
1k6 the features of the nineteenth
revel of the Green Room Club,
next Sunday night, at the George M.
Cohan Theater, has the honor of being
the only woman member of this organi-
zation. She confesses to being in some
thing Of quandary as to the why's and
wherefores of this distinction con-
ferred upon her, but imagines it must
have been in recognition of number
of what she considers "smaiI services"
rather than for some one big thing.
She has sung at every revel the club
has held since she went on the stage
in 1912, and was the first woman to
sing in the Green Room.
The report that Arnold DAILY. con-
templates dip into Shakespeare this
spring, emerging as Hamlet, is Wig
orously denied by Mr.. Daily himself,
who asserts that he intends ITO contine
himself entirely to the Vagabond, in
"The Tavern" He does not intend even
to do an act for the rsvel of the Green
Room, as had been announced without
his authority. He adds that should he
decide to appear as the melancholy
Dane, he would never be SO selfish
as to restrict the pleasure Of the pub
lie by giving single excerpt, but
would give the whole play.
A special performance Of "The
Dancer" by Melchior Lendgel, will be

his special request.
Gilbert Emery falsl into one theat-
rical trap in "The Hero" in which he
makes his romantic wanderer definitely
identify himself as romantic person
by naming number of far removed
points in the atlas. He skips, as we
remember, from Port Said to Bombay,
to Nagasaki. 1t is quite possible for a
person to be romantic on lsss mileage.
Indeed, there is always sense of pose
when any character seeks to emphasize
the romantic nature Of his life simply
by detailing his route. There is in all
these lives bound in half -levant some
thing too of half-calf.
Mr.. Emery is also not very observant
in writing scene for the child in his
play in which the youngster rushes
on to the stage and fairly leaps into
the arms Of stranger who happens to
be his uncle. No child we have ever
seen began to be even third SO
cordial to a stranger upon first meet
ing.
In addition to these minor points,
there is little question>that some Of
Mr.. Emery's construction is crude and
self-conscious. Yet even that is en-
tirely secondary. Characters carry con-
viction1 even in doing things artifcial.y
If they talk naturally while doing them.
Emery has superb gift for setting
down true talk. In this respect his
play never wavers. The people Of "The
Hero" are as real set of folk as the
stage has seen this season. Theater-
goers have right from now on to ex-
pect Other things from Mr.. Emery as
fine as "The Hero" and finer, too, once
he knows some Of the tricks. Already
hc possesses qualifications far greater
than those of trickery. The dramatist
who can build play with the deftness
Of man whose hand is quicker than
the eye is often an interesting person
to have around theater, but he doesn't
begin to compare in Importance with
the man who can tell his story with
his sleeves rolled up. One can pull. out
white rabbits when they are least ex-
pected, but after all who cares about
white rabbits where there is some one
else in the house who can show you
men and women!

CORNERSTONE ROBBED
OF COINS AND PAPERS
Patient Thief Does Neot Job
at Spring Valley.

There are all kinds of easy things TO
steal, from apples to automobiles but
the thief whose operation was disclosed
in Rockland county yesterday disdained
both the easy and the obvious. He chis-
elled open the cornerstone Of the Spring
Valley High School to steal the coins
placed there when the stone was laid.
Having got the coins he went to work
with fresh cement and neatly filed the
hole. And being nothing II not a tidy
workman. he swept UP the chunks of
stone and mortar and carried them off
with the money.
The stone. set with no end OF cere-
mony In 1916, is below the street level.
The janitor, Hand Woner, found minute
pieces Of cement on the basement floor
and followed this clew to the corner
stone. The robber had penetrated to
the copper box at the heart OF the stone,
and taken not only between SO and IS
in silver coins. mintage of 1915, thrown
into the box by the school children on
laying day. but the records and news
papers without which no cornerstone Is
sanctified. The janitor discovered frag-
nents of these records outside one of the
schoolhouse doors.
A reward OF $25 has been offered for
the arrest OF the cornerstone ravisher.
