David Warheld In
Belasco's Notable
Plays Here April 19

David warfield is to appear at
the Illinois theatre on Wednesday,
April 10, in David Belasco's most
noteworthy play. THE Return of
Peter Grimm" The distinguished
star appears under the direction of
Mr.. Beiasco, who has supervised
every detail of this production OF
his dramatic MASTERPIECES.
@The Return of Peter Grimm"
was first produced at the Belasco
theatre. New York, 10 years ago,
and after long metropolitan run
it was played throughout the coun-
try with notable success. Because
OF its very original and rather
daring namely, the contin-
uation of individual existence after
death-the play aroused wide and
profound discussion; while at the
same time il afforded the keenest
delight to playgoers in general by
reason of it's fascinating story, its
wealth OF human sympathy and its
well-nigh perfect dramaturgy.
Mr. Warfield's portrayal of the
gentle old florist, Peter Grimm, who
returns from the spiritual world
to rectify the mistakes that he
made while living, was accounted
by many critics as an achievement
rarely If ever paralleled on the
American stage. The figure of Pc
ter Grimm-and the mind and
heart and soul of Peter Grimm
as revealed by Mr.. Warfield, live
in the memory not as a character
of the stage, but as a noble-hearted,
well-belowed friend.
The play is revived in exactly
the manner of the first production,
and several members of the orig
inal cast are to be seen in the roles
that they created. Among the most
important Of these players are
Marie Bates. Miriam Doyle, Joseph
Brennan, John Sainpolis, George
Wellington, John F. Weber, Marie
Reichardt, Richard Dupont. David
Malcolm and William Boag.

New York, April S.-Those shoes
that Buster Keaton wears in his
comic capers for the screen are not
fashioned after Charlie Chaplin's.
They're older than Buster himself
The reason for the telling of this
is to dispel belief that exists in
some minds that Buster is copy
cat. This writer at one time be-
lieved that all slap-stick comedians
of the screen, except John Bunny,
we're mimics of Chaplin. Many of
them are. But those that are
aren't those that were, if you know
what l mean. The copy-cats can't
hold public favor long. Their stuff
loses interest by being repetition Of

Three Vaudeville

A vaudeville show of three high

shoes for the son. When Buster
quit the stage for the screen his
father gave him the shoes. That
was just bit of sentiment peculiar
to people of the stage.
Buster wore the shoes in his first
starring picture and every picture
since. They have been resoled 20
times, but he will not discard them
for new pair. He believes they
have played a tremendous part in
his success. That's just a bit of
theatrical superstition. Actors
and gamblers are the most super
stitious of all men.
So this is the story of Keaton's
shoes. They were his before he
was born.

No plagiarist could accomplish

The story of Keaton's shoes be-
gins several decades ago. Joe and
Myra Keaton, his parents, were
vaudeville headliners. His father
was a knockabout comedian. When
Buster was old enough he became
part OF the act which became inter
nationally known as "The Three
keatons."
When Buster was born the elder

By w. J. HENDERSON.

The first performance of Giordano's
opera, ANDRE Chenier' in the present
season took place yesterday afternoon
at the Metropolitan Opera House The
auditorium was filed and there was
much applause, especially whenever any
one of the singers executed a vocal tour
de force. There was. however, consid-
erable solid applause for the chorus OF
shepherds and shepherdesses in the first
act, which contains nothing astonish-
ing. but is merely pleasing.
The singers heard in the opera were
those concerned in it's representations
las. season. Mr.. Gigli. who sang the
title role when the opera was introduced
into the Metropolitan repertory. reap
peared as the revolutionary poet and
sang most of his music admirably.
That he showed some occasional incli-
nation to crafty the desire of his COM
patriots for loudness rather than beauty
of tone cannot be denied. and there need
be no hesitation in predicting that tx
Mr.. Gigli forms a habit of singing as
forcibly as he can his career may be
very popular. but it will be short.
Miss Muzio is happily cast as Mode
le,ae in this opera. The music is alto
gether to her taste and suited to her
methods. She sings it with an Illusion
of passion and generally with dramatic
effect Mr.. Danise repeated yesterday
that admirable impersonation of Charles
Gerard which last year fully established
his reputation in this city. In this role
his art is excellent in almost every de-
tail and greatly strengthens the impress
sion made by the opera.
Among others who revived memories
of pralseworthy achievements last sea-
son were Nine. Kathleen Howard as the
Countess. Mr.. Didur as Matthew and
Mr.. Bada Is the spy. Mr.. Moranzoni
