The Theater Orchestra of
the Future

WHILE George Gershwin has been
winning fame through compost.
ton of jazz In the purest modern
sense, another American musician has
been developing what he character
ICES as a new type of orchestra. Harry
Archer is not only responsible for
the musical score of Little Jessie
James" Merry, Merry" and My
Girl which comes to Polls Theater
the week of October IS, but he Is as
well band and orchestra leader.
His present orchestra with My
Girl is primarily jazz ba nd in the
Whiteman and Lopez sense Every
member Is a capable solo performer,
chosen carefully. The distinctive con.
tribution they are making to the music
of the theater is that because they
are acting as accompa nists to per-
formers they must also double as a
legitimate string and wind orchestra
as well as jazz band. The saXophone
players with the Archer hand are not
only capable of playing all the saxo-
phones, from the sopI--n to the bass,
but they can double in the wood winds,
and one Of them is a cellist. One of
the numbers in the piece, You and L."
is played as a straight waltz. with no
tfnkling of jazz, and is then orches-
trated in typical jazz fashion.
The theater orchestra of the future
is in doubt There is an inclination on
the part of Mr.. Archer to predict the
passing Of the regular house orches-
ira" He believes sincerely that the
time is coming, and soon-when travel
ing musical organizations will carry
their own orchestras. The old theater
orchestra has outlived it's day. With
orchestras which can play both the
modern and esta blished types Of music
the musicians become an integral part
of the performance. This is the theory
that Harry Archer has tried success
fully with his three notable musical
hits.

Passionate Prince.


Lowell Sherman is the star of Carl
Reeds production. The Passionate
Prince" which is to be presented at
the National Theater this week be-
ginning this evening. Sherman, whose
admirers have come to look forward
with much curiosity to his theatrical
adventures. in the present instance,
according to advance notices, provides
"a novel and diverting entertain
ment."
1.-The Passionate Prince was writ
ten by Achmed Abdullah, a we'll
known author of Oriental tales, and
Robert H. Davis. The production,
which is said to be a very beautiful
one, was designed by the eminent
director, Livingston Platt, who made
special journey to the Orient for
atmospheric effects. Assurance is
given that the opening night perform
ance, at least, will be given precisely
as New York will see the piece fort
night hence.
The story concerns an Arabian po-
tentate and woman just beyond his
reach, who even ventures into Eis
palace and is forced to remain be-
cause her fiance is lurking in the
neighborhood and is suspicious of her
fidelity. But even a prince OF Tunls,
with all his powers of conquest, must
obey the traditions of his noble race
and so the beautiful intruder is un-
molested, through the use of her
dainty slippers, which she places just
outside her curtained bedroom-a
tangible sign in the Orient that one
even as exhalted as the high born
shall not pass. The jealous entrance
of the girls fiance, the battle of wits
between the Christian and the unbe-
lever, and the grief of little Musk
Drop, the Arabian favorite of the
prince, all combined to keep the drama
simmering as background for color
full and picturesque romance.
Mr. Sherman will he surrounded by
capable cast including Charlotte
Wynters and Stanley Logan.
