lett the metropolis for smaller and less
discriminating fields. Producers admit
tnaC the road Is in worse condition

Ethel Barrymore, as an individual star,
has met success.
However, Broadway managers are
making rather elaborate preparations
for the remainder of the season. It Is
estimated that at least 10 productions
are in the process of making for New
York introductions.
William A. Brady announces that he
will soon have two more COMPANIES

companies will be for the much-delaved
London premiere, and the other will 90

Allan Mowbray and Mary Blair have

management of Otis Skinner with the
withdrawal Of "A Hundred Years" from
the road. However, the star will reopen
the show himself, with q transcorti-

New York headline writer, land

1t was the occasion Of q casual re-
union between George M. Conan and
Sam H. Harris, who IS years ago
formed an association for the produce
ton OF plays and one which proved
highly successful.
The reunion occurred at the Friars'
Club, and was in the form of a spright-
ly song and dance" number written
by Conan. The lines sketched the ca
reers of the two men, starting from the
time Of their association. 1t began
with rhymed mention of their first
play, Johnny JONES'" Of which Cohan
sang:
I'VE went fifty-fifty, the play was nifty,
And soon we were there with roll"
Their chant proceeded up to the
point OF their most thorough success.
Here Conan sang:
Those were the days when the critics
would praise
Every play that we ever produced"
To which Harris replied:
yes, they had to be good, for they
knew now we stood,
And they knew that q knock was q
boost"
The offering proved to be the hit of
the evening at the Friars' F'rolic, and
some public jester circulated the report
that Harris would next appear in a new
theatrical role, that of tap dancer. This
he emphatically denied
I can't say about my play plans"
he told questioner, but can tell
you, If you'll listen, about my plans
for that song-and-dance stuff. You
can say that Sam Harris has made his

final appearance for the year mean
that. George Cohan will have to get
Bill Norton or Lep Solomon to team up
with him. At that Friars' frolic I was
scared stiff. Let George do 1t. He's
good at it."
The adventuresome beginning of the
Cohan-HarriS enterprise was recalled by
the latter. They agreed to go into pro-
ducing together. Harris had $780,
and IA race horses. Conan then was on
tour, and when he returned to New
York the two met in the Gilsey House.
Here Harris went through the ordeal
or confeSSing that he had lost the
100000 as well as the horses. How
ever, he knew a man of sporting in
stincts in Philadelphia who might be
borrowed from. He went to that city.
When he came back, he related, he
had $25,0 900. In $40 and $50 bills, all
stuffed in various pockets.
Where did you get all that?" asked
I'm Philadelphia" Harris replied with
smiles.

WHEN the motion picture developed
a voice and became a medium for
the expression of music, it accomplished
another remarkable thing. 1t set per-
sons to humming and whistling when,
previously, they hadn't thought of
doing either.
The motivating thing back of this
observation was realization of the fact
that any one heard WhiStling or hum

Taking advantage of the dark
ness just before the dramatic
dawn in Washington. "Trevelyn's
Ghost" slipped into the National
Theater for demonstration
which, so far as any robust ex-
pectatlor1s OF fun are concerned,
proved, indeed, spectral.

It did not amass holiday crowds
IN the auditorium, but proved a
literary Seance of a very exclusive
character. In fact, so few people
saw it that it may be considered
new material worthy of descrip-
tive comment, for the sake of
certain intrinsic interest which
attaches to carefully calculated
effort which does not find the
pubic correctly tuned in. It is
another OF those specimens which
invite analysis as to cause and eff
1ect when a delicate synthesis of
ideas is attempted without at
tanning popular recognition-a
noble experiment which gets no
further than faint explosion i'm
a secluded corner of the artistic
laboratory.
Trevelyn'S Ghost" as revealed
by the plot, is in reality no ghost
at all, but a human being inspired
by entirely mundane motives to
simulate a supernatural charac-
ter; somewhat after the manner
or the ghost in Chimes of Nor
mandy" Described in the an
nouncement as a farce comedy, it
Is even more farce than comedy
In its material, although much
less than either; as it offers itself

changes key as often as the Flor

so well modulated from one step
or interest to another. In one

There are moments of society

Screen s First Actress.

THE honor of being the first woman
ever photographed by motion pic
ture camera, it appears, may belong to
Cissy Fitzgerald, character actress, who
appears with Billie Dove in 1.-THE Paint
ed Angels" now at the Earle .Theater.
Thirty-five years ago, when Miss Fitz-
gerald was acting for Charles Frohman.
the rising inventor, Thomas A. Edison
invited her to come to his laboratory
to be photographed by his newly built
moving picture camera. The actress
did a dance from one Of the current
musical comedies, and Edison captured
1t on the film, recording the first wom-
ans face on moving negative.
Miss Fitzgerald is thus the film actress
with the longest motion picture record
In the world. She has played hundreds
of roles since she began devoting all her
time to pictures.
Her daughter, who recently arrived
from England, is playing a small role in
THE Painted Angel"
Billie Dove appears as a cabaret
hostess, an unusual role for this beau
tiful actress.
