announcement that "Wildfower" will
be presented here with the New York
cast. The production is the biggest
ever made by Arthur Hammersteln,
and it comes here intact.
The cast, in addition to Edith Day,
will include, just as in New York,

her dramatic moments.
One of these, which occurs in prac-

is her rendition of the celebrated He

which is vibrant with pathos and in
tensity, was first introduced on the
stage by Miss Baker several years
ago. Since then it has been used al
most universally by vaudeville, con-
cert and recital singers, and it has
even been played in syncopation by a
Jazz band. John Mccormick has made
a phonograph record of it, it was
taught by a Roman Catholic priest
to Dorothy Jardon, who flits back and
forth from Keith vaudeville to grand
opera, and a Jewish choir has sung it
as prologue to motion pictures.
The prevailing impression is that
''Eili, Eili' is a synagogue prayer for
| the dead, but Miss Baker for the first
its origin.
"'Eili. Eili,' said Miss Baker, was
first written by a Hebrew musician

The play was a great success. but
the musician never realized anything
from his composition. In the mean

the music was never copyrighted.
