Frank Bacon, the veteran actor Is
going to buy new "Bili Jones' OUTFIT

nearly three years. When he gets the
new one, the old one win not be sent 70

will be put to unique phllanthropic use
at an auction sale of clothes worn III
famous characters by theatrical stars
for Near East Relief az a means OF OBJ
tanning clothing for the destitute in
Armenia.
Adj.-Gen. J. Leslie Kincaid, State
chairman OF the Near East Relief. In
making the announcement yesterday
said that, with the cooperation Of a
theatrical committee of which John
Drew Is chairman, he will make col
lection OF costumes worn by well known
actors and actresses and will sell them
soon at a large garden party.
'rhe idea for such an auction was the
result Of a visit by Gen. Kincaid to
Frank Bacon. of "Lightnin fame, in his
dressing room in the Gaiety Theatre. Mr..
Bacon was told OF the old clothes cam
paign of Near East Relief, which is to
culminate IN q Bundle Day" on June
6, and remarked that the Armenians
had nothing on him.
1--WE worn one suit Of clothes more
than 1000 times" said Bacon, "and it's
pretty threadbare now. / guess I'll have
to get new one"
Il got the hunch right there said
Gen. Kincaid. II told Bacon that if he'd
let me have that Bill Jones suit I'd see
that TIE parable OF the loaves and fishes
would be duplicated right here in New
York cn an old clothes basis
"Then / got in touch with John Drew
and I think we're going to get the mos.
remarkable collection of stage clothes
ever known. Jackie Coogan isn't giving
us his Kid costume, which as YOU
know. is almost as ragged as the things
the poor children over there are COM
PEELED TO wear, but he's sending us n
big bundle of his spare togs for our
bundle day"
Mr. Drew approached David warfeld
for the gift Of the costume worn by
him as the Music Master. Otis Skinner
also viii make a contribution from his
waidrob of celebrated character cos
tunes one OF the frocks worn by Miss
i Carroll McComas in Miss Lulu Bett"
has been promised.
Gen. Kincaid said that all the armories
Of the state will be opened on June 6
for the receipt OF bundles. Tags are be-
ing distributed in churches. public and
private schools and theatres More than
| 100000 tags. bearing the address Of
the Near East Relief warehouse at 5
West Thirtieth street, have been dis

Conditions among the destitute of
the Near East are simply frightful.''
said Gen. kincaid. Recent cable mes
sages from relief workers show that
unless America sends help. not only In
the matter Of food supplies, but In the
way OF warm clothing thousands of per-
sons will perish next winter"
He adGsA that Mr.. Drew's theatrical
committee alone has promised TO OBJ
tain 1000, 900 pounds OF clothing from
the private wardrobes Of members of
/ the profession.

tors struggling to establish themselves
N this repertoire.
Is 1t the most popular drama in this
famous list? If It were possible to
obtain the statistics concerning it's
representations during the ages the
results would doubtless Justify an
affirmative answer Yet there are
other reasons for its popularity to-
day. The characters may be reduced
in number until no more than a dozen
are necessary.
The scenic demands, unless the pro-
ducers desire to make them otherwise,
are simple. The action may be con-
densed TO keep the play within the
limits Of brief representation. Then
managers who are usually TOO con-
tenlptuous Of Shakespeare to discuss
the business value of the drama are
generally willing TO agrac that "The
Merchant of Venice" will draw" if
any Of them will. No play, less Ger

In Distinguished Hands.

The drama happened to fall into dis
tinguished hands when ii was first
played at the Union Square Theatre.
OF course Charles Thorne. Kitty
Blanchard Marie wilkins. Charles
Parselle, and Mckee Rankin are only
names now in the history Of the Amer
lean stage. Yet Kate Claxton and II.
f. Mackay. who were notable in the
first cast are alive although no longer
active in their profession. The fame of
Miss Claxton is inseparable from the
history OF the melodrama.
She could not understand indeed
why she should sit in a box at the
New Amsterdam Theatre when the
play had it's last notable revival in
New York instead of appearing as the
blind heroine. But the manager had
selected Grace George, who gave
most engaging performance of the role.
Some other notable actors were in this
highly successful attempt to revive III
tercst i'm the old work Clara Norris
made her last appearance in New York
in he play, and some OF her associates
were Kyrle Bellew, Jameson Lee Fin
ney and Elita Proctor Otis, who had
role after her own heart in the frowzy
Frochard. The play was acted In the
hinterland during the next year. Then
II seems to have passed altogether out
OF the list of plays still living.
Adolphc d'Ennery was 30 years old
when the famous old work was acted
in Paris for the first time. From its
first hearing the piece made theatre
history. England seems TO have been
less cordial to 1t than other lands. but
IT took firm root in every Continental
soil. Here 1t was given for years. and
In all OF it's most notable productions
Miss Claxton played the role OF the
heroine.
Singularly enough the Italian theatre
knew the drama for years under the
title THE Secret Archives of the City
of Paris" Here the Italians have al
ways played it under the usual name
The playwriehts-of course d'Ennery
had the inevitable collaborator-did
more than build an extremely effective
drama for its day. They selected won
derfully picturesque characters in the
wandering sisters themselves, the dis
spated chevalier the honest scissors
grinder. the villainous Frochdrd and
the proud countess. There was little
~ no indication Of character In these
figures so adroitly manipulated by the
dramatists. but they were varied and
highly colored. In the sl<ilful hands of
j.. w. Griffith the old play ought TO
know a glorious celluloid resurrection.
