LENORE ULRICH STARS IN ‘KIKF ON BROADWAY (Continued From Pase Six.) elsewhere, also went in for the French, “Bourbouroche,” ran through one act only and mortified tiVse who care little for the thing which is supposed to be typically French. It really is the rather pathetic affair of a not too attractive man, whose one love affair ends in deceit. The other piece is a cleverly managed piece of melodrama. “The wife with a smile" is the chief personage. She totally disagrees with everything about her husband and he feels much the same way about her. The dreary details of such a life are neatly and wittily set forth and we arrive at a time for action. However, it has a happy ending. Blanche Yurka and Arnold Daly are the chief players and Martha Bryan Allen was the inevitably successful newcomer of theater guild productions. • • It is the sort of name predestined to the theater, you would say, yet the bearer of It rejects even association with the press. He says he is, or wts, a business man in Denver. “Was" —because he seems to have landed on both feet and with plenty of wind left for a run. when -his first play, “Her Salary Man," was produced. It has a trick idea which is not too excitingly fresh, and it has a bedroom. But the intermingling of the elements seems to have been just right As for plot: Orphaned wealthy girl; disagreeable guardianship; desire of the rather _gay star for the moth balls of marriage. In fact the lady wants a name In marriage alone. Suitors brought on the scene are willing to marry her and. as soon as she is missis, to depart. But one saunters In, not a suitor, and he, somehow, *s the one who goes throngh the marrir.ge and by one of those lucky hits, they do fall In love with each other: he even has money of his own. I say no more. Ruth Shepley. last seen by your servant when Ed Wynn was doing his mind-resting stunt and called her by name from the audience, is the lass. fV:— nota cmfwyp cmfwyp cnifwyp cmf • • • “The Wildcat” is a Spanish riot with music. It is swift and dramatic, and even if yon do not feel particularly absorbed by the fate of a bullfighter, It has its moments. Signor Penella. the composer, is conducting his own music, and Sam Ash is the chief singer. ... The news is out for “The Chocolate Soldier” revival in two weeks. Donald Brian and Tessa Kesta will lead off. and whether what seemed immortal seems now good will then be seen. * • • George M. Cohan, revisiting these shores, says that I.uoien Guitry Is the greatest actor he ever saw. That must settle any illusions entertained by vari- ’ ous actors in the role of the Vagabond last year. In vaudeville, the other day, we saw a bill in which all the stars were on the second half. The first half we enjoyed to excess. Langford is the name of one of the entertainers in the first half. He looks like a Gluyas Williams illustration for one of Robert Benchley's pieces. Joe Cook is also in these parts and is as good as ever —almost the ideal vaudeville man. When Caryil died he was working on “Little Miss Raffles.” which is already announced for produc-

DUE AT ENGLISH'S MISS MARIE WELLS. In the company that Henry W. Savage will send to English’s on Dec. 22-24 to present “The Merry Widow,” Miss Marie Wells will be one of the principal players. She plays the role of the flirtatious Natalie. tion with Vivienne Segal, Lawrence Grossmith and Henry E. Dixey. One of the two mysteries about "Marie Antoinette,” is solved by the New York Times, which Informs the attendant world that Edymar is, or are, none other than Margaret Mayo and Aubrey M. Kennedy. The other mystery, I gather from Playgoers, is Why? The same paper computes the probable profits of “The Bat” as ranging from two to three million dollars. —Copyright, 1921, by Public Ledger Company. KEITH NEWS E. F. Albee, who is preparing the data for a “History of Vaudeville," soon to go to the publishers, has assembled many interesting facts hitherto unpublished. Mr. Albee says that B. F. Keith's first theatrical activity in New Y’ork was at the Union Square Theater, on April S, 1593, and It is generally believed that

he introduced the Keith type of vaudeville to New Y'orkers at that time. Asa matter of fact Mr. Keith's first offering at this theater on the date mentioned was “Hamlet" with Walker Whiteside as the star. “Rosenerana” was played by Walter Vincent, and “Ophelia” by Harriet Weems. The first performance of Keith vaudeville in New York was Sept. 18, 1893. -|- -|- -|. An important arrival on the Keith Circuit is Ethel Levey, who reached New York from London last week with her husband, Claude Graham-White, and opened on Monday with a sensational

new act at the B. F. Keith Theater in Cleveland. Miss Levey, who was formerly the wife of George M. Cohan, is the idol of the London theater-going populace, having appeared there for a number of years in \audeville and popular reviews. Her r'.-cent tour of the Keith Circuit proved her as great a favorite here—hence the return. Miss Levey has a number of characteristic new songs, and a remarkable Parisian wardrobe. -I- -|. -IThe latest addition to the Keith-Moss chain of theaters is thfc Riviera, a splendid new house in St. John’s Place, Brooklyn, which opened on Dec. 1 with

elaborate ceremonies. Mayor Hylan and his family attended, accompanied by many heads of city departments. Borough President Kiegelman entertained a large party of Brooklyn officials. Adolph Zukor and Jessie Lasky, heads of the Famous Players, represented the moving picture interests, with Agnes Ayres and Rudolph Valentino. The house which seats 2,500, was erected and decorated under the personal supervision of E. F. Albee, in accordance with the Keith standards, and the Riviera is a model of the neighborhood playhouse. The opening bill was a notable one, headed by the Four Mortons, who are celebrating their

own Third of a Century Jubilee with the Keith Circuit. Interest in dancing continues unabated, with Bessie Clayton and her remarkable dancing act “The Box Party” held over for the third week at the Palace during the month of November. Miss Clayton, who returned to the B. F. Keith Circuit in this act after a year of rest, is proving a greater attraction than ever. Hal Hixon has' joined her company this week. Another hold-over is Rae Samuels, whose character songs are scoring a great hit.

Drew of this city, who has earned the sobriquet of the “Marrying Parson” through his efforts in behalf of the local colored population. The idea obsessed him recently when streams of colored men and women applied to an employment bureau, of which he is president, for jobs. Unable to pro-
