STAGE AND SCREEN
 NOTES OF INTEREST
Where Local FaYoriteS Are Play
 ing+.BroadWay Successes

New York, Sept. 9.-There are 12
 powerful arguments for the success of the many foreign plays which will open on Broadway within a few weeks These 12 arguments for the translated drama are the dozen Am erican plays which have been open ing and closing on Broadway since the beginning of the present season.
 With the exception of the musical comedies, some of which have been very good, the new theatrical bill-of- fare is sad thing. One point is in its favor. These new American melo- dramas, serious plays, comedies and farces have developed startling and dience This characteristic, of which we heartily approve, is the ability and willingness to snicker during the so- called high points in the plays.
 Up to the present. the gentle art of snickering is more or less restrict ed to the first and second night au diences who are present on reviewing tickets and complimentary passes. Those who have paid money are us- ually too mad to preserve their intel lectual respect by taking refuge in derisive litter.
 Two pretentious plays, we'll staged, competently cast and at times excel lently acted have produced snickers in the past week. These two are Wild Oats Lane," a melodrama with Macklyn Arbuckle. and The Endless Chain" the latest play by James Forbes, author of The Famous Mrs Fair" And despite the pretense, the staging, the cast and the acting, these plays deserved scoff1ng. Both were flat, uninspired, lazily written by au- thors without original ideas Both reeked with the theatricalism of 1905 and a maudlin sentimentalism and em otional spouting that is out of place in this year of Our Lord 1922.
 Macklyn Arbuckle and the excellent cast work their hardest to take the curse of mediocrity off Wild Oats Lane" As Father Joe, the Catholic priest whose flock is spotted with the black sheep who herd on Wild Oats | Lane, this veteran actor does a fine bit of character work.
 But when the villyun walked off | with a diaboical chuckle, after to disclose that he is the father of Father Joes niece the au- lience merely smiled When the Up md Down" Kid attempts to kill the ,illyun and Father Joe steps between and takes the bullet in his arm, the audience politely yawned.
 But it was the spiritual rejuvena- ion scene that really gave the audi ,nce a chance. The Up and Down Kid and Sweet Marie have reformed. The Kid will leave the dope and auto natics and Sweet Marie will leave Ter life of shame. Where shall they 70?
 "Out to my ranch in the west" avs Father Joe. There are the wide, pen places"
 And then came the cruel, deadly nicker.
 Of the many openings, only the Old Soak" "A Serpents Tooth" and Fools Errant'' are able to struggle 1to the pretty good class.

NEW THEATER 0N
 WEST MAIN STREET
New York Men Have Half ForInu-
 lated Plan in Mind

With the Knowledge that William FoXs lease on the theater in the Electric building on West Main street expires year from this month, there IS considerable speculation as to where MT Fox will move his play house, since the proprietors of the Palace plan to take it over next Sep tember
 It is known that MT. Fox is loath to leave New Britain and those famil- far with the gossip in theatrical cir cles, both here and in New York are confident that he will remain in this city believing that New Britain is large enough to support two or three theaters, especially if his theater puts on class of entertainment that ap- peals.
 Likewise, it has been common talk for more than a year that Solomon Shurburg has been considering the erection of a new theater building on Main street on the former George M. Landers property. He is known to have offered the lease to MT. Fox. agreeing to build the structure in case the latter agrees to rent it. Fox in- terests are also known to have been dickering for the control of the Ly- ceum theater.
 The latest theatrical gossip how ever, comes from New York and has a new site as it's subject It is re- ported that a New York firm, work ing through a local realty dealer and contractor, has half formulated plan to erect a new theater on West Main street, on the Raphael property ad- jacent to the Professional building and almost opposite Fox's present house Mir Fox is said to have been ap- preached on the matter and asked whether or not he would lease the playhouse in the event it is built.

Fred know Watkins felt half con- temptuous but he stuck to his guns and that night he excitedly told Con- nie the whole story.
 Connie listened, but her verdict was to reiterate her former words: T don't like that woman, and never did, and never will. I can't explain why don't trust her, but l distrust her more than ever now. Keep out of this whole thing, Fred, that's my ad- vice.
 No amount of argument, heated though it became, could budge Con- nie from her view. Fred began to wish he had taken Watkins plea bet ter to heart, and told Connie nothing. Her attitude was silly and unreason- able. He determined to act on his own judgment, not on Comics 'in- stinct." When he had handsome re- turn on his speculation it would be time enough to tell her-prove to her how unfounded were her fears.

Fair Sex Avoid Toys Which Might
Reveal Age

"Why is 1t that all your pictures
of women look SO much alike. while
those you take of men have such
characteristic differences asked the
man who was about to have his
picture taken and who had been
glancing over the pictures in the
studios waiting room.
That's simple laughed the pho
tographer. Don't you know that
woman always insists on having her
picture taken in either a simple
round necked gown or with a piece
Of chiffon thrown around her bare
shoulders?
They all want something that
doesn't date. so that in later years
when their friends are looking at the
picture they will not he able to tel,
in what year the picture was taken
by the style of the dress worn, and
so figure out the age of the person
in the picture.
For the same reason you seldom
are able to get woman to pose
for full length portrait. A mans
clothes re always about the same.
but the length of a woman's skirt
or sometimes even the hang of it will

Buloarian kina Minus Cash

The Young King Boris of Bulgaria
is so much in need of ready cash to
maintain his modest household that
he has sold some of his automobiles
and all of the wines and liquors
belonging to his father, the eXiled
Ferdinand American visitors to
Bulgaria have been surprised to find
old vintage wines and rare cham
pagnes from the royal palace on the
tables at Sofas hotels at 50 a bottle.
The former Gar Ferdinand, now
barred from Bulgaria, enjoyed in his
days of imperial power all the lux
uries and eXtravasancies of the royal
sovercigns of the Elizabethan age.
But his son, who is beloved by all his
people for his simplicity and lack of
ostcntation, lives almost as humbly
and plainly as one of his peasants.
Bulgarians say that when the father
fled the country, just before the
armisticc, he took with him all the
crown jewclry, money and realizable
assets and left the son nothing.
Boris civil list is much below the
salaries received by American cor
poration presidents. The young
ruler has repeatedly refused finan-
cial assistance from the government
because he felt the country's need
of economy and conservation was too
great.
He is doing everything he can to
make both ends meet. The various
palaces built by his father are now
the property of the state. otherwise
no roaljva hin fhp y
sale.
In his desire TO set an example of
economy and frugality to his people,
the King for 4 long time has stopped
all entertainments and court func-
tons. He maintains q modest house
hold of three or four servants and
one or two guards.
Boris is just past 81. His people
say he has all the virtues of his
mother and none of the characteris-
tics of his father. He is frail of body
and delicate in features. He has a
compelling charm of manner and
has earnestness and sincerity that
win instant admiration.
His chief motive of life is work
He is never idle. Ii he isn't busy
with the affairs of state he is study
ing. Horticulture, natural history
and engineering are his hobbies.
Within the palace grounds at Nrania
he has had a narrow gauge railroad
built for his own experimental pur-
pose. He is absorbed in the subject
of engineering and is familiar with
most of the big American railway
systems.
The King led such lonely life that
not long ago Prime Minister Siam
boulisky. who looks after the youthful
monarch with a paternal solicitude,
took Boris sisters from their father.
Ferdinand. and brought them back to
Sofia to keep the King company.
