AMBASSADOR THEATRE
TO OPEN ON THURSDAY
NeW Playhouse Is Built on a
Triangular Plan.

The fact that the Ambassador Thea
tre. on West Forty-ninth street, which
will open next Thursday with THE Rose
Girl as the newest playhouse in New
York under the direction of the Shu-
berts. is built on a triangular plan Is
only one among its innovations.
Chief among these will be the en-
trance from the lobby directly into a
vestibule. The design, of such an en-
trance eliminates the draughts which
are a constant source of annoyance to
patrons OF playhouses. The lobby doors
will be used only as exits from the the
atre. Another distinctive feature of the
new Ambassador will be n wide prom
enade extending completely around the
auditorium to the boxes. Heretofore the
promenades In theatres extends in most
cases merely from one side Of the house
to the other.
The smoking room and the women 8
room will be on the mezzanine floor in
stead of in the basement, as is the case
in most theatres These rooms will be
spacious and will be appointed with
modern conveniences. There win be two
coat rooms instead OF the customary
one. located at each side of the audi
torium. This feature Is expected to be
OF considerable service to theatre pa
trons inasmuch as It VIII afford consid-
cradle more space and save time to the
audience in its egress from the theatre.
Cold and red have been combined for
the color scheme. The ceiling and walls
are In gold. while red curtains and dra-
peries lend n contrast.
The Ambassador is the first theatre
ever to have been erected In New York
upon a triangular construction plan
Playhouses are customarily built with
the auditorium and stage parallel with
the street. At the Ambassador. how

as to take refuge In the wilderness with
the man she preferred to the rest of the
world? Nothing that Halld had done
seemed to condemn her inevitably to
such fate. The audience therefore
does not want to see her die, but sur
vive for some Of the happiness to which
her devotion seems to have entitled her.
So tho ending of "Eyvind of the Hills
Is not happy one in that 1t satisfies
no interest.
One meets every day the derelicts
floating through the contemporaneou
British drama which show the baleful
influences OF G. b. Shaw. The Irish
playwright has sufficient genius to make
his own rules. So he wrote play after
play which did no more than exploit his
own wit. his own interesting views on
life and the invariably whimsical ideas
on this and that subject which did not
fail to delight his public. So he be-
came one Of the foremost dramatists Of
his time. But he did 1t by means of
genius which few Of his contemporaries
have ever shared. Certainly none wa9
ever able to make his own laws as Shaw
had done.
But there were plenty of his contem-
poraries as well as his imitators who
thought thy might follow the formulas
by which he had travelled to success.
They were fearless In doing what he had
done without any trace of the great
gifts by which Shaw had triumphed In
spite of his method and not on ac-
count of IL. Play after play which
under other conditions might have pos
sessed some value for the theatre had
passed before the reviewers and failed
because their authors thought they could
talk just as the great Irishman had
talked, and had done nothing else
toward the making Of play.
Harold Chapin's "The New Morality"
which Miss Grace George acted on Sun
day night at the Playhouse. is an exam
pie OF the kind OF play that follows the
Shaw formula. The opinion of Its mer-
its has already been expressed here. The
plays Of Chaplin seem. curiously enough,
to attract the actors more than the man
ayers. Charles Hopkins acted "The
Marriage OF Columbine" at the Punch
and Judy Theatre. This play did more
to win the public to the young author
than any of his other works Marie
Tempest later tried one act play at the
Comedy Theatre. Neither possessed the
blood OF the stage and soon disappeared
Actors are notoriously poor judges OF
plays even when they select them for
their own exploitation. There Is n ia
miiiar story or the star who was to act
detective In the drama he selected. In
one evening within the mere space OF
four acts he was to assume some twen-
ty-eight different parts. So N was kept
hopping about changing into this and out
OF that and looking like all the twenty
eight he was supposed to be. But he
made very little impression on the audi
ence. He was an omniscient little fellow
and knew all about what was happening
to everybody in the play. so the audi
ence turned toward the other characters,
interested TO see how his knowledge
would affect them. II Is not by having
the most to say or 10 do that the actor
always gets the best part in a play

he guarantees to provide an audience Of
the most fashionable character If that
Is what the manager desires. IT. on the

such theme as eugenics or woman suf-

TO the drama Just as a specimen OF
his skill he did provide one society au-
dience which was quite up to the stand
ard. Tho manager. OF course. knew
nothing of the character Of the gather
ing. but he did see the names in the
newspapers. and that was enough for
him.
Uniuckily that play, In spite OF its
distinguished social gateway. lasted only
three weeks, so the new arrival In the
theatrical world found less demand for
hfs services than he had expected as he
proudly surveyed the arriving audience
on the first night He did not charge
for his services at this tryout. merely
asking for the free tickets. He is still
awaiting the spp,rtunity to show his
skill with an audience Of special inter-
ests.

Miss Natalie Manning Compared
by Sculptor to Greek Goddess.

Miss Natalie Manning. the young in
genue whose effervescent youth and vivid
personality have made so much out of
her little part in Miss Madge Kennedy's s
"Cornered," is considered one of the
most promising discoveries" of the sea-
son and another find" for her manager.
Henry w. Savage.
In art circles last season she was COM
pared to a Greek goddess by Albin
Polasek, the Russian sculptor. who in
posing her as an angel for a church
decoration said "she has the most pro-
vocative profile since Peitho"-the young
goddess whose beauty is immortalized in
Parthenon art.
Miss Manning will continue under the
management of Mr.. Savage for term of

The vaudeville theatres OF the second

decade ago because all the amateurs be-

 BIC WAR OVER

NOME, Alaska. Dec. IT. - An Are tic adyenturer, B. D. Seaman, sailed into Nome from the frozen north this month and not knowing that the war was over, tried to enlist in the Amer can army so he could fight in France
 Seaman said he had been three years getting to Nome from the Coro- nation Gulf country, which lies far east on Canada's Arctic coast, and during his journey had received no news from the outside world He left the gulf. he declared, in October 1918, when he first heard the United States had entered the war. Sea man was formerly a member of the then Royal Northwest Mounted Po- lice.
 Soon after Seaman started for Nome the small schooner on which he was journeying was wrecked in the ice, he said. and he and his com paniOn were forced to walk twenty seven days before they came to an Eskimo village On their way they lived on roots.
 Seaman gave an interesting de scription of the life of the Eskimos of Coronation Gulf. The natives, he said. still use the bow and arrow but are gradually getting accustomed to the use of firearms. which were in traduced recently. The natives live on caribou and seal
