NEW YORK PLAYS
By WALTER r.. EBERHARDT.

NEW YORK, March lS.-A belat-
ed entry last week, The Hotel
Mouse" starring Frances White and
Taylor Holmes, and Walker White
side in The Hindu" are the only
openings to relieve the Lenten lull.
The New York critics have been
unusually kind in their reception
Of Madame Pierre" which Will
lam Harris, jr., presents from Eu-
gene BrieuX's Les Hannetons," by
Arthur Hornblow, jr. OF all the
French adaptations that have
descended upon Gotham this season,
1t is. with "Kiki," the only one that
seems to have preserved it's French
charm while presenting a literal
translation. One might be tempted
to call it Enter Madame" without
the wedding ring. But the situa-
tion is reversed. The male holds
the whip hand and so the compari-
son must be limited to inimitable
comedy lines, dashes of-oharacter
and a flavor of genius that is Gre
ative in both of these out Of the
ordinary productions. Estelle Win
wood and Roland Young feature an
unusually fine presentation that
must, however, be prescribed for
the sophisticated only.
After all is said and done there
is only one perfect fool and his
name is Ed Wynn. II II were pos
sible to Imagine anything more
asinine and still more ludicrous
than his patented invention for eat
ing corn II is to hear him as, he
describes it in THE Perfect Fool"
There's no plot to this pot pourri;
but anyone who hears Ed wynn's
bland and screamingly funny moth
ingnesses and still feels the need
of plot must be a hard bargainer
Janet Velie is the last word in mel
ody and pulchritude. Flo Newton
and Guy Robertson are desirable
members OF the cast. We mention
this because the New York press
reviews might have created the. i'm
preston that Ed Wynn Is the only
one in this bevy of comedy.
The Rubicon" continues its way
braving the adverse criticisms from
practically every source. Even har-
dened critics refused to mention in
detail the Objectionable feature of
this plot and those who run to 1t
on the strength of such subtle hint
lngs are apt to fnd themselves, for
once, beaten and disguised. =.

and was leading woman the third

lots of fun.
Plans are now being made to
fittingly celebrate the success of
Shubert vaudeville.
Washington from the start has
taken kindly to the new enterprise
and the Belasco Theater from its
opening early in September, under
the management Of Ira J. LaMotte,
has been ranked with the best of
the houses in the circuit, both from
the standpoint OF attendance and
receipts.
Some conception of the magnitude
Of the field into which the Shuberts
have extended their vaudeville ac-
tivities gathered from the fact that
the initiation of a two-a-day cir
cult involved contractural obliga-
tions to performers which totalled
over 100000. Because Of this
tremendous initial expense there
was some doubt from the outset in
the amusement world as to whether
the circuit would survive through a

NEW YORK RETAINS
ONLY FOUR OF %
PLAYS OF AUGUST

During the sizzling month of Au-
gust, 1s21-the month in which the
current theatrical season is sup
posed to have got officially under
way-Broadway saw twenty-three
brand-new productions, all of which
at the time of their, premieres car
ried wishes for endless prosperity
from the various actors, authors
and managers associated with them.
And surely quite a number of the
twenty-three looked during the pre-
production days to contain enough
elements OF popularity to stick 1t
out until the, middle of March.
But. this week flnds but three of
the twenty-three still on view.
These are "Tangerine." with Julia
Sanderson; ''Six-Cylinder Love-"
with Ernest Truck and June Walk
er. and Get Together" the Hippo
drome show. 'Dulcy," which was a
winner, has closed for a Boston en-
gagement.
The majority of the twenty three
offerings of the opening month of
the season have long since been
forgotten and will hardly ever be
busted of and restaged. The nine
teen other August pieces were
''Honors Are Even" March Hares,"
The Night Cap" "Sonya" (iater
named Sonny Boy'D, 'Nobody's
Money" The Scarlet Man" The
Mask of Hamlet,' The Detoury"
The Triumph of X" The Wheel,
The Poppy God" Back Pay" .'The

Away" 'Tarzan of the Apes"

season that was notoriously bad all
over the country.
The answer to this has been pro-
vided in the preliminary plans for
next season which have just been
announced. There will be thirty
five full weeks in the Shubert
vaudeville circuit in the season of
1929. To supply attractions for
these thirty-five weeks there will
be thirty-tive distinct travelling
vaudeville units provided by the
country's greatest producers. This
program insures a new show for
every week in the season and in
addition the companies will travel
as a unit, an innovation which was
started the present season and
which proved successful
Florenz Ziegfcld, Charles DillinE-
ham, Sam Harris, Lee Shubert. Ed
Bloom, Jean Bedini and Isaac Herk
are among the Broadway producers
who will provide units for the Shu-
bert circuit and each magnate will
be limited to two attractions on the
wheel.
