for endless prosperity from the vari-
Gus sctors, authors aud managars as
sociatsd with them. And surely quite
a number Of the twenty-thrce looked
during the prc-producyron days to con-
tain enough elements of popularity to
etick 1t out until the middle of March
But this week finds but three of tho
ewenty-three still on view. These are
"rangerine,'' with Julia Sanderson;
"Six-Cylinder Love-" with Ernest
Truck and June Walker. and Get 70
gether," the Hippodrome show.
"Dulcy." which was a winner, closed
last night for a Boston engagement.
The majority of the twentythree Of
Serings Of The opening month Of tho
season have long since been forgotten
and will hardly ever be busted off and
re-staged. The nineteen other August
pieces were "Honors Are Even"
March Hares," 1.-The Night Cap"
"Sonya," Sonny" (later named Sonny
Boy"), "Nobody's Money" The Scar
let Man" "The Mask of Hamlet" J." "The
Detour," THE Triumph of X" "The
Wheel" "The Poppy God" "Back
Pay" "The Greenwich Village Follies,"
"Daddy's Gone A-Hunting,' 1.-TWO
Blocks Away" "Tarzan of the Apes"
Swords" and "Personality."
"The Detour" won for itself perhaps
the most favorable comment of any of
the twenty-three, but it seems that
more than favorable comment was
needed to keep it in town.
Broadway, in the month of March ten
years ago, saw two revivals. These
we're Monsieur Beaucaire" and Forty
FIVE Minutes From Broadway" done,
respectively, by Lewis Waller and
George Nj. Cohan. Sallie Fisher, who
is no longer active hereabouts, ap-
beared as Mary in the Cohan revival.
"The Pigeon" which has taken Itself
Uptown after being revived in the Sher-
,dan Square district, was first revealed
to New York in March, 1912. Other
productions Of that month included
"The Rainbow" at the Liberty, in
which Ruth Chatterton became the talk
os the town: "Thc Typhoon," with
Walker Whiteside and Florence Reed;
THE Flower of the Palace of Ham"
Chinese drama in five acts, the English
version by Charles Ram Kennedy;
The Father" with Warner Oland in
the principal role; "The Right To Be
Happy" in which Dorothy Donrclly ap-
pearcd at the Hudson, and several mu-
sc2l pieces.
If repertoire company had been
holding forth this season at The Play
house it hardly could have offered a
greater number of pieces than have
been revealed there since last August
This theater surely can have no par
ticular aversion to providing quarters
to just one attraction throughout the
season, but the fact remains that the
current Playhouse piece, "Up the Lad
der" is the ninth since last August.
The Playhouse plays for 192l-'i222, in
the order they we're produced, have
been "The Tesser," Personality" "sHThe
Elton Case" "Wait Till We're Mar
ried," "Oh, Marion" Grace George in
Marie Antoinette," the revival Of
Bought and Paid For" Drifting and
the new Owen Davis play.
1t seems that with each failure this
season William A. Brady has been in
sp'sed to begin immediately rehearssls
on another play.

Miss Sunshine, it seems, is now well

Southern girl has appeared include
