Irish Girls Want Combs.

City merchants of Ireland are mysti-
fed over the demand from the country
for long combs. Until recently, the
dealers declare, they could not give the
articles away. but now orders are COM
ing from colleens in all parts OF the
country. Furthermore, they want the
kind their mothers used when long hair
was in style. AS no explanation is given
the conjecture is that the bob Is pass
ing in the country.

former revolutionary leader.
The arrival of the mysterious Mex
lean at the hotel was preceded by a
visit from his secretary, who reserved
the best suite available. BY arrange
ment made by the secretary. the rooms
occupied by the Mexican visitor and his
family were flooded with flowers. The
party gave the impression of having
plenty of money.
When the secretary registered at the
hotel for himself and his principal he
gave no address. The clerk asked for
his address and the reply was "Oh, the
last place we were in was Seattle" The
clerk then filled in that address.
While the group was in Vancouver, a
party of Mexicans inquired for informa-
ton about British Columbia roads at
the Automobile Club. They did not in
dictate which direction they proposed to

possessing exactly the spiritual quality so
necessary to the role of Towers. Several
of the young people trained exclusively by
Stuart Walker took the other principal
parts. Katherine Hall, a Cincinnati girl,
played the Laura Hope Crews role Of Mrs.
Dean, giving a convincing and finished
performance.
Peter 1bbetson ran for two weeks with
capacity houses and on Oct. %, Stuart
Walker presented his second production,
Our Betters," that brittle comedy of bad
manners, by Somerst Vaughan. with Flor
ence Reed in the role of Pearl, the first
comedy part that Miss Reed has played in
which despite her greatness as an actress
was q bit surprising, for Cincinnati had
seen her last season as Lady Macbeth and
before that in 1.-The Shanghai Gesture"
Supporting her were Catherine Calhoun
Doucet as the Duchess, Russell Hicks, who
made such a hit in Coin Home" last
season, as Fleming Harvey, and the fol-
lowing members of The Cincinnati Stuart

its original production in New York.
Numerous attempts have been made to
produce it. but no producer has ever found
an actress who could undertake the part
of Daisy.
While Of course Cincinnati is agog and
delighted and all the other things and
then some over. having Florence Reed a
member of the local company for a period
of several weeks, the real interest in Miss
Reeds visit centers around her own opin-
ion of Stuart Walker and his work.
In an interview after three days of re-
hearsals. she said: AT last I have found
the real theater-found it here in Gin
cinnati under Stuart Walker. When I
saw his Peter IbbetSon, I said here is a

tell how the beauty and perfection of that
performance affected me- When I saw all

stage life. There is a Sureness, serenity
that has to be experienced to be believed.

Miss Arnold writes as follows:
On the first day of July. last. a group
of prominent Cincinnatians incorporated
under the state laws of Ohio, The Cincin-
natl Stuart Walker Company, with Stuart
Walker as general director. This was no
sudden step, no ebullition of sentiment,
nothing "arty'' in the gesture. Rather
was it the result of nine years of watch
ing Stuart Walkers work in the Cincin-
natl theater as an independent producer,
the conviction that Cincinnati should have
her own theater as she has her own SYM
phony, her own art institute and her own
educational system.
Moreover, Cincinnati was getting fed up
on the poor quality of dramatic fare
served her by the average New York
producer as Original companies Tour
ing costs, the unwillingness of actors to
leave New York were some of the con-
tributing causes for the poor quality of
road shows, but the road towns suffered
none the less, Cincinnati along with the
others.
During the nine years that Stuart Wal
ker had been in Cincinnati, he had proven
himself an able director, giving plays of
distinction in a distinguished manner, de-
veloping actors /aS no other director has
ever done in the entire history of the
American theater, helping struggling play
wrights to their rightful places, and giving
amazing opportunities to young scenic
artists.
Other cities and other countries we're
watching Stuart Walker. They were quite
articulate In their admiration, including
John Drinkwater, Kenneth mcgowan and
Clayton Hamilton, among others. Chi
cago, Philadelphia, Louisville and St.
Louis had made overtures to have Stuart
Walker establish himself with them. Also
agents from Paris.
So Cincinnati was not buying a pig In
poke when she organized her own thea
ter under the continued leadership OF
Stuart Walker. And she laid no onerous
burdens on him when she did SO. She
merely asked him TO continue his fine
work and stay with her.
The attitude of The Cincinnati Stuart
Walker Company toward its theater Is
| splendid IN It's simplicity and SingIeness
of purpose Is asks Stuart Walker to re-
main as director and offers to relieve him
of the financial responsibilities of the
| theater, that he may be free to do bigger

but for the American theater.

ton, The Cincinnati Stuart Walker Com

Skin Deep
Is on View
at Lyric
Joseph Howard Tops the
Vaudeville Part of
Show.

Skin Deep" a new all talking
Vitaphone production based on the
magazine story, Luck Damage
written by Mark Edmund Jones, is
the screen featured at the Lyric for
one week starting today.
The cast Of this picture is an I'M
usual one and includes such well
known favorites as Monte Blue
Betty Compson, little Davey Lee
John Bowers. Alice Day, Tully
MARSHALL, John Davidson, Robert
Perry all George Stone.
In the story, which deals with
gangland, there aid to be a new
angle. The underworld characters
are given a distinctly new slant. 1t
treats them as human beings, with
movitations which effect every other
circle of society.
Monte Blue portrays a SCARED
and sinister leader of a downtown
gang and in contrast John David
son is the polished leader of the up
town aristocrats of the underworld.
The perfidy of the wife, played by
Betty Compson, who is a gold
digging dancer, starts the action of
the drama.
John Bowers has the role of the
district attorney and the adorable
sonny boy of the screen, Davey Lee,
will again endear himself to movie
goerS as the son of the district at
torney.
There are many thrilling
sequences in Skin Deep" which
are dependent upon the truth of
Characterization and the tenseneSs
of situation rather than the newt
able gunplay.
'I Came to YOU" the theme song
of Skin Deep" gives Betty Comp
son another opportunity to display
her vocal ability which scored so
heavily for her in 1.-THE Street
Girl"
Four acts makeup the stage pro-
q
E. Howard, once we'll known song
writer. musical comedy star and
more recently a Vitaphone artist,

He is simply known as The Vir-

All other players in the pro-

answers to the name of Steve. and
Mary Brian is known as Molly

In not giving the Virginian a

TWENTY-YEAR OLD twin girls,

TWENTY-YEAR-OLD twin girls,
- whose father is the vicar of
Widelette, Worcestershire, are the
central figures of 1.-THE Lilies of the
Field" which will be presented by
the Civic theater at the Playhouse,
Nineteenth and Alabama streets,
Nov, 1880 and Dec. 2-7.
The girls maternal grandmother,
resident of London, while on a
visit to the family in Widelette,
wishes to give the twins birthday
presents. For one she has ten yards
of pink crepe-de-chine and for the
other a month in London.
The obvious disparity between the
gifts makes it necessary to put the
award on contest basis. Since an
antiquarian is coming to lunch, the
grandmother proposes that the girl
who captures most of his attention
will certainly get most out of the
London visit.
Although this Is kept secret, the
girls get wind of it and enter into
friendly rivalry. Catherine, in her
best frock and loaded with her fin
est perfume, first meets the visitor
and shows him the garden. And
then Elizabeth enters, clad in the
costume of the early Victorian per-
iod and with all the courtesies, eye
dropping and occurrences of that
era.
The visitor Is bowled over, and
Elizabeth goes to London But to
her dismay she finds in London that
she has become a find" and that
she is responsible for a. new craze,
so that the pretense must be
kept up.
The resulting situations are highly
amusing.

THE GUILD WILL
SEND US "PORGY"

The Theater Guild of New York,
noted for it's artistic production of
fine plays, viii present one of its
big successes, "Porgy," at the Eng
lish opera house Dec. 5, 6. 7.
The trials and fluctuations of Cat
fish row, Charleston, S. c., present.
ed under the name Of "Porgy," the
crippled beggar of the row. is
drama of the lowly Negroes remark
able in the annals of the American
stage.
No play has ever caught the true
colored nature more completely than
this, for the authors, Du Bose and
Dorothy Hayward. not only know
the Negro and get his point of view
but also have the literary and dra-
matte sense to transcribe that
knowledge into fascinating book
and a majesty play.
"Porgy" might be described as a
richly mounted colorful pageant of
life among the Charleston Negroes.
Catfish Row is depicted on the
stage with startling realism, while
the acting of the large and unusual
company-of the sixty-1ve players
all but four are Negroes-has been
eloquently praised on both sides OF
the Atlantic.
One unusual scene finds its climax
in a bare, cherries room where
the body of a luckleSS darby awaits
donations for its burial. AS the
spirituals of lamentation grow and
swell in frenzy, silhouettes of the
mourners are notified against the
white-washed wall. The picture
and its accompanying chants pro-
vide one of the most stirring mo-
ments the theater has known in
years.
Reuben Mamoulian, the young
directed the pro-
duction for the Theatre Guild and
Immediately sprang to directorial
eminence. He has since done
Marco Millions" and wings Over
Europe" for the Guild. The au-
thentic settings are by Cleon Trock-
morton, who journeyed to Charles
ton for firSt-hand studies.
"Progy" has played three sep
arate engagements in New York,
three months in London and has,
and is still, creating records on the
road.

Professor Bragg claims to have

offers his own splendid physical
condition and development as illus
tration that his system is not with

When asked recently how he re-

''At 20 the death sentence had
been pronounced on me by the
south's leading medical authorities.
I was suffering from tuberculosis.
stomach ulcers and my legs were
knotted with rheumatism. 1t was
impossible for me to sleep in a bed
at night as had chronic case of
catarrh and asthma. I was forced
to sleep in chair.
"As 1 sat in my wheel chair wait
ing to die, I got to thinking, and
the more I thought the less I felt
like dying. In that weakened ply
steal condition I decided I would
make fight. 1 studied the people
as they passed my sick room window
and 1 noticed that the most vigorous
persons breathed the deepest. So I
worked out and developed my sys-
tenn of super breathing, a system
aided by natural foods. I have not
only rebuilt myself, but I have
