N. V. A. Benefit Program
Tonight Includes IS Stars

For benefit to yield moro than $780,
900 isla seeming impossibility, but the
National Vaudeville Artists annual
benefit at the Hippoirome and Man
haitian Opera House tonight will turn
in much moro than that amount. Tickets
are sold all over the United States to
vaudeville artists and managers and
their friends and business associates
These tickets can be exchanged at the
box Office for seats, but only small per-
centage appear in New York, SO tho
houses can be sold over and over again.
AS matter Of fact, the audience Is made
up Of New Workers who have bought
their seats direct at the box Office, but
IL all the ticket holders should ever turn
up from around the country it would take
half dozen Hippodromes and Manhat-
tan Opera Houses to hold them. An
other source of revenue is tho pro-
gram, which Is swollen by advertise
ments to the dimensions cf telephone
directory. The income from this source
will be more than $4,000.
The National Vaudeville Artists will
present seventy-Ave acts at each house.
The artists will travel back and forth
on special auto transfer system. Each
star and headliner will play both houses
in turn.

Every Man in
His Own HunOr

Dear Sir: My wife and I were so
charmed with "Dulcy," which we saw
several times, that when it was An
nounced "To the Ladies!" was written
by the same playwrights we visited
the Liberty Theater anticipating see
ing play equal to their former effort.
Being a business man, and not q
tired one, at that, I was surprised at
the exaggerated acting Of the leading
man, who, in my opinion, not only
could not have obtained a job with any
reputable firm, but could not have held
a responsible position even for a day.
His grotesque gestures, facial express
sion and general demeanor could not
fail to impress business man most
unfavorably. I admit he got some
laughs, but they seemed to me very
forced, and do not believe that those
who laughed ever gave thought to the
fact that such an individual as he por-
trays could, under no circumstances
get or hold the position Of secretary to
q business man.
am very curious to know why he
does not play the part straight, that Is
without an attempt at caricaturing.
did enjoy the second act, tho banquet
scene, as the acting, as a whole, was
good. There again, in my opinion, the
leading man overdid the part where he
loses portion Of his speech.
Why is it that this fault seems tt
be common in many actors in the plays
Of nowadays? Is it that they regard
most of the New York theatergoins
PEOPLE as from the provinces, where il
may be necessary to exaggerate in or.
der to carry across the good points?
Perhaps Mr.. Kruger in an interview
might care to explain his rendition.

writing, is less we'll handled than any
thing he has staged for some con-
siderable time. Certainly the play Is
not in the same dramatic street as
"Loyalties"; it seems, presented as it
is In cycle Of his plays, rather a
throw-back to his earlier and more
uncertain period.

The Playbill

The lights are beginning to flicker
and go out in the playhouses. Four
plays closed last night and only one
Of the theaters will house new at
traction. "Bull Dog Drummond" let
loose his hold on the Knickerbocker,
Madeline and the Movies" withdrew
from the Gaiety, "The Blue Kitten"
ceased purring at the Earl Carroll, and
LA Belle Aventure," offered by the
French players, closed at the Belmont.
Only the latter theater, with "K Kempy,"
will be relighted this week.
SAM Fl. HARRIS, who has already
tried out "My Ladys Lips" and "Weary
Wives" this spring, will make three
more try-out productions before he
calls it a season. He also says that
EDWARD SHELDON is still working
on est. Ursula" the play in which
EMILY STEVENS was to be seen some
time ago. Mr.. Harris intends to pro-
duce il in the fall. A. H.
WOODS has not been idle in Europe.
He has bought "Diana at the Bath"
three-act comedy by COOLUS and
HENNEQUN, now playing in Paris;
has secured the American rights to "Le
Retour," by ROBERT DE FLERS and
FRANCIS DE CROlSsET, and has
made contract with SAVOIR, author
Ct "Bluebeard's Eighth Wife" for his
next three plays. CHARLES
DILLINGHAM;, one hears, will be the
American producer to put on the GALS
WORTHY play, "Loyalties," here. :.
By an unusual coincidence two plays
opened in theaters directly opposite
each other last Monday night. "The
Advertising of Kate" made its bow at
the Ritz, while across the street
ETHEL LEVEY was seen in "Go Easy,
Mabel" And. oddly enough, the inter
missions co;ncided exactly. The
members of "Thc Claw" company are
back in New York, having finished their
road tour. LIONEL BARRYMORE,
who headed the cast, will rest for a
time and then will do some work in
motion pictures. Eou11~H e
ONEILL will not be seen around
Broadway until the fall. He is busily
writing at Peaked Hill Bar, his sum-
mer home, at Provincetown.

ton and then appear in vaudeville.
One learns that MAX MARGIN plans
to produce four plays next season and
that he will try some of them out
during the summer. He is to put on
The Faithful Heart" by MONCKTON
HOF, in association with FREDERICK
STANHOPE, with GODFREY TEARLE
in the leading role; "Give and Take"

play. According to reports
along Broadway, DAVID H. WALLACE,
who has been associated with WILL
LIAM HARRIS JR. and w. A. BRADY,
will join the producing ranks next
season. "La Tendresse," which
was produced in Paris at the Theatre
Vaudeville q year ago, has been OBJ
tanned for American production by
HENRY MILLER. 1t is by HENRI
BATAILLE. ELEANOR PAINTER
is to appear in "The Lady in Ermine," +"
new operetta, in the fall. Since it
was announced recently that Miss
Painter would head the cast Of the
next production at the Century Thea
ter it appears that "The Lady in
Ermine" is to be the production.

no PidyS cutll!cU w lHQOWS, Was
produced this week at the Court Thea
ter, where there is now running cycle
Of Galsworthy plays. It challenges
comparison not only with these but
with its immediate predecessor, "Loyal-
ties" now making a successful run at
the St. Martins Theater, in which he
set himself a rigorous standard Of In
cisive social criticism and adroit dra-
matte technique in which "Windows"
falls very far behind.
The vein in which Galsworthy's new
play is written is unwisely chosen, the
more so as the theme, profoundly
human one, should be peculiarly his
own. 1t is tho theme Of the girl
mother Tho heroine has smothered
her illegitimate baby and has served
two years in prison for the crime. Her
case Is clearly based on that Of an
actual parallel. which some months ago
made some seir in tho English press
In this case the mother is serving life
sentence for the murder of her child
and q London Sunday newspaper con-
Quoted strong campaign for her re-
| lease, which is expected at any moment.
A Sunday paper is, in fact, referred
to in the play.
John Galsworthy, who has to his
credit the accomplishment by his play
writing Of important reforms in tho
prison code, had here a congenial
theme in illustrating the blighting Of
feet of prison treatment on the ma
ternal temperament. But in "Win-
dows" it seems rather that he has
picked his subject out Of the newspa-
pers and forced play on top Of 1t
than that the play had forced itself
upon his consciousness with the in
evitability of art. And subject per-
fectly suited to his sympathetic pen
as that pen is usually wielded-is here
subordinated to feeble humor and
hazy symbolism.
"Windows" is described by the author
as "a play for idealists and others
There are windows all around US, but
mostly you can't see through them
Either they want cleaning or the glass
is too thick. And the windows of ideal.

 MEETS APPROVAL
Needy Cases Are Numerous, Head of Charity Department Says

supt. William Cowlishaw of the board of charity whose investigations and the investigations of his two as- sistants indicate great suffering throughout the city due to tuberculo- sis, is heartily in favor of the move ment to reopen the isolation hospital for treatment of the tuberculous.
 Several of the more needy cases have come to the attention of his de- partment. particularly pathetic case is that of a family of 10 persons, occupying three room tenement. one of the family has the disease. At the suggestion of health board room was set aside for the patient to pre- vent the spread of tuberculosis to other members of the family. The remaining seven children and parents were thus limited to two rooms for living and lodging. With the opening of the hospital this patient can be taken away so that the health of others may be safeguarded and better living conditions afforded them.
 There is another case where, with two exceptions, an entire family is suffering from the disease. The home is more a hovel than.a dwelling. This case is being vesAgated by state authorities in conjunction with the local departments.
