The New ''FolIies''

Raymond Hitchcock will be an Inn
sportant member OF the cast of the new
Ziegfeld "Follies," which will be ready
for New York production early in June.
However, the New Amsterdam Theater
will not house this, tho fifteenth, edi-
tion of the ''Follies," for Sally is far
too successful to be moved, even for
another Ziegfeld show, and for the first
time another house will shelter the
''Fol1ies." The latest announcement
names the, Globe Theater and the sec
ond week in June as the place and the
time for the latest attraction of F.
ziegfeld jr. Mention also is made of
the fact that the Globe is a smaller
house than the New Amsterdam, and
that, accordingly, 81 has been decided
upon as the price for the entire lower

Charles Urban to Direct
Animal Actors on Screen

Charles Urban is rapidly getting
ready series of Kineto Reviews. It
Will be in twenty reels, all embraced
Under the title Modern Truths From
Old Fables"
The idea and the basis of the series
are the lovely old fables of La Fon-
taine, fables which have been read for
several hundred years all over the
world.
Mr.. Urban and Raymond l. Ditmars,
of the New York Geological Cociety, are
cooperating in preparing the screen
version of the fables.
The actors are all animals, as, OF
course. they were in the text, and what
good actors animals can be is hard to
realize until one sees the result. They
portray hunfor and tragedy, they mimic
and originate and they apparently have
all the resourcefnlness of 81, ,00o-a week
stars. After seeing them one is
minded to say that Mr. Ditmars is s.
great director.
The photographing of the animals Is
all being done, by Mr.. Ditmars in his
natures laboratory out at the Zoo. sisd
Mr. Urban personally is editing them.
The titles are largely from La Fontains
himself.

Asked how she found time, with all
her dramatic work, for painting, sculp-
ture and her many varied interests,
Nine. Bernhard gave the answer that
she. has always given-the more that
one wants to do IN this world the mora

and many interests and the love of
living, says Nine. Bernhardt, has al

''Life is very good to u.s." she said.
"One need never grow old. One can
only die once. Why begin to die before
one must? Life is always nevis az

NMx Thus Nine. Sarah Bernhardt,
in the play Daniel" in which
she has returned to London after two
years absence, gives life philosophy
that she herself has lived Her charm,
her allure, her deep dramatic power is
to-day, as ever, dancing fame of life,
and when the London audience at
Princes Theater stood cheering for
ten minutes after the curtain had fall
en- last night they paid tribute to the
actress whom the world loves best.
Daniel" is the story Of hopeless
love, and was written by NJ. Louis
Verneuil, the young French dramatist
who married the granddaughter of
Nine. Bernhardt. Daniel, the role
played by Nine. Bernhard, is a youth.

has driven him to the use of drugs.
His brother. Albert, has married
Genevieve, whom Daniel loves. When
the play opens Albert discovers that
his wife has lover, Maurice Granger.

goes TO Daniel and tells him that he
will kill Maurice, but Daniel, rather
than bring suffering to the woman he
loves, says that he himself is the lover.
and then. broken by drugs, and de-
ceived both by his friend and the
woman he had made an ideal, dies in
his brothers arms.
Nine. Bernhardt does not appear in
the first two acts, but throughout their
action the strong French COMPANY
coming from the Theatre Sarah Bern
hardt, IN Paris-had held the audience
tensely silent. But before the curtain
rose on the third act the applause had
broken out in the house. With the up-
lifting of the curtain sudden breath
less silence fell. The scene was the
library Of Daniels apartment. Seated
in chair at the center of the STAGE
was Nine. Bernhardt. She wore bows
black silken lounging suit, her brown,
'seftly curling hair was drawn back
from white forehead. She looked out
for moment with wide eyes upon the
silent house, smiled, almost uncer-
tainly, and hurricane of cheering

is as strong, her dramatic presence as

have lost nothing of their grace and
charm. From the moment of her ap-
pearance she alone existed upon the

M ITH six openings in the next five
~ days it is hard to realize that
the close of the dramatic sea-
son in New York is imminent.
In fact, this theatrical season"
of ours has grown to be rather
like the tabled hoop snake, which
was reputed to take its tail in
its mouth and continue rolling along
indefinitely. For with new shows NOV
ing in Immediately to stop the gaps
left by the old ones passing out, it is
hard to say just where the beginning
and the end might be. However, the
dramatic diet is lightened considerably,
in view of the approach of dog days,
and the musical comedy takes prece-
dence.
New-York tribune., 1921-05-08

AxAA HETHER it is advancing age
or the decline Of the art of
D acting, or what, we are not
prepared to say. but musical
comedies certainly do not seem to be
as funny as they used to ten or twelve
years ago. Probably the musical
comedy books Of yesteryear were just
abOu; as bad as they are now, but in
the long ago there were o number of
comedians who had no need Of written
instructions to be hilarious. Richard
Carlo always gave us the impression
that be was putting on new show

IS She funniest man we have ever seen
IN comic opera To the best of our
knowledge and belief Garlic Is still
going on some place or other, but he
seldom gets TO New York.
OF the men now to be seen in New
York Leon Errol alone seems to as COM
parable to the comedians we used to
have. But even here there Is a dif-
ference, Errol's humor is largely aero
oatic. He doesn't begin to have the
verbal felicity OF soma OF the old
timers. Still his knee action is worth
many quips and it would be hard to
match an Enrol fall by devising some
joke equally clever. Fred Stone, of
course, LIS magnificent entertainer,
hut hardly great comedian. His
comic gift is only one in an amazingly
oroad repertoire. Stone ts essentially
stunt man who entertains you by his
SoiIity one minute to dance, the next
70 90 tricks with a rope, only to
abandon that to stand on his head. The
oid-timers, as we have said, were diff

could not stand on their feet.
We are willing TO be the first TO

gold medal TO be awarded to the first
musical comedy producer who shall
present show in which there is no
comic song about prohibition. With
sae medal will go palm if ths show

Sunday.
Sometimes, also, we wonder why. the,
producer does not get along without

After all these years OF verbal co.

The closing of Margaret Anglin's
season last night brings to mind the
exceptional achievements of this ster-
ling actress during the last eight
months. Rarely, except in the case of

lndomitable energy and restless crea-
tive force, undertook, in the midst OF

production of the Greek classic, "the
