An "all star” bill in which there are hree headline attractions comprising he Lyric's annual Spring Festival show, vill be op-ned at the Lyric rest week.

About eight principals and a chorus is used in presenting “A Night Out.” “Billy Jim" presents Fred Stone In a truly lovable character, that of a lovesick cowboy pursuing the beautiful young daughter of a wealthy Westerner with a view of asking her hand in marriage. It is upon his experiences in the chase for a wife that the story is built. Fred Stone’s rugged, wholesome personality is perfectly suited for just such a character as he interprets in ‘Billy Jim " The gangling, open-hearted and courageous cowboy is ever an attractive figure to American audiences and there are few, if any, men on the stage or screen today who can portray such a character with such finish and understanding as Mr. Stone, who for years has lived among just such folks as you will see in “Billy Jim.” OLD PLAYS ARE SQUEEZED OUT BY NEW ONES Phase of Russian Life Reflected in Drama, ‘The Green Pin.’ OTHER STAGE GOSSIP By DIXIE HINES. NEW YORK, April 22.—The current week, -and the week immediately preceding, have been almost free from new productions. A play down at the distant Neighborhood Playhouse has mads an appeal, and a matinee performance of a vodoo play uptown has some interesting moments, but not enough to make it a serious contender for the popularity stakes. In “Taboo,” which was staged for matinee performances by Augustin Duncan, Mary Hoyt Wiborg has wTitten a play which has some interesting features, and Mr. Duncan has staged it intelligently and effectively with a cast made up largely of negroes. Margaret Wycherly acted the sole white character among the women. The theme is a careful study of vnodooism on the imagination of the negro, the scene* being laid on a sugar plantation in Louisiana with a cut back to the coast Guinea in Africa The study f this fetish worship on the negro mind | and the pictwresqueness with which it j was manifested have been the subject j of her study, and she has written with j some imagination and Mr. Duncan has j caught the spirit with fidelity. It is j morbid at times. It is also pietffresque j and appealing, and as a novelty will | rank high, but it Is not likely to achieve any real distinction as a success. SATIRE ON RUSSIAN LIFE IS PRESENTED. "The Green Ring." a play from the Russian of Zinaida Hlpplus. is a biting satire on I’etrograd family life. A daughter seeks to reunite mother and father after eight years separation, and is somewhat confused by the fact shat each has an affinity which makes the ’ask difficult. Each wants the daughter, but neither wants the other. The title Is derived from the name taken by a group of young ai gumcntat've students who meet and discuss world and domestic affairs with easy familiarity and settle them in accordance with their own ideas. They might easily have been separated from the play and still justified themselves. As it Is, the Neighborhood Playhouse, which Is fur distant from the New York play center, seems to have scored a pronounced success with ian MacLaren, Pamela Gaythorne and little Joanna Roos, the principal players in the east NEVA SOi IKTT IVINS APPROVAL ON BROADW AY. The Play Producing Society, of which R uth Helen Davis, well known composer.dramatist and member of the literati is the director, is anew group of stage proponents and they have already made two special productions which Indicate their manifest comprehension of what Is most desiied for current stage consumption. This week they are doing “The Idiot” from the Russian of Dostalevsky with a special and a thoroughly competent cast. The purpose of this society is to produce plays for limited periods with the view of Judging their popularity and availability for permanent presentation on Broadway. The plan is quite feasible, and the new society already has won high approval from the leader? of the stage, both as to the art and the technical, as well as the commercial side. Richard G. Herndon Is another war rier to come forth with a plan for a permanent repertory company in New York, and as ho is the owner and manager of the Belmont Theater, his plan will unquestionably receive the serious consideration of all who believe that in the repertoire theater lies the solution of the present unrest In the theater. Mr. Herndon has not announced his plans as yet. but if is known that he has associated several groups of players, directors, playwrights and others Into one common cause, and shat their aims shall be to present plays in an Intelligent aud effective manner in the way they were once presented in here and are still being presented at the Comedie Franealse In Paris and the Lessing Theater In Berlin.

I Averv Hopwood makes the announcement that he will use London as well as New York in the future as a produe- . ing center. He is now abroad, and will produce at least two new plays in London even before New York sees them. Ilereatfter, either New York and London will simultaneously share this distinction, or else some will be produced In New York and others in the English metropolis.

working plan of presenting opera from the Atlantic to the Pacific. The reason that the plan of Mr. Dippel appeals to me Is that the music lovers of a city have It within their power to further the plan of Mr. Dippel. If we want grand opera as outlined by mm, Indianapolis ran have it. Meetings have been held here at which Mr. Dippel has explained his pita, indications are that In Uanapolts will sup port Mr Dippel in his endeavors to give Indianapolis a season of grand opera. Mr. Dippel explains his project pirn as .follow s : "It is a fact thst many cities In this country while tag r for grand opera, and willing to support It adequately, arc ignorant as to an organized method of providing it for themselves. "The tmpresston prevails that the cost of production of grand opera on a high ly artistic standard Involves a loss which must he borne by local guarantors. This is not true, because grand opera on n •olid artistic and financial basis is a business, like any Industrial or hanking proposition "The <’'hlcago Opera Company, tinder my management, made a profit of HVi.OOO on a transcontinental tour of n.ae wo ks' duration, “The San Carlo Opera Company, piav lng at popular pri'es. is making money, thus proving that this country wants grand opera. The Letter the cast the greater are the receipts, which Is demonstrated by all touring companies, lu clud'ng the Scottl opera. "By applying the principles of organization, efficiency aud economy grand opera can be made self supporting and profitable, and there Is no reaao why grand opera, backed by prominent citizens in the various cities and gur.ninteed by subscriptions, should not b yum* a permanent institution in every large city. “Within five years we ran hate grand opera from the Atlantic to th> Pacific, an ! from the Labes to the Gul.’ ''] shall endeavor to accomplish this In a systematic way, by applying the methods of the vaudeville eirmlts with continuous changing ~f hills ami pre senting headliners at every performance Under my subscription plan lover of mtißic does not need to atten 1 the performances every night as be does now when visiting companies appear, lie will

Without holding out any special Inducements to these stars, we can afford to ptiy to any artists barring none--tbs prices warranted by their drawing power, in fact we will be In a position to spend considerable money for artists because our organization will have to pay only for services actually rendered and not for unduly heavy overhead charges and so-called 'dead time,’ which means unsung performances and which have to be paid for Just the same. “Many prominent stars and leading artists have declared their readiness of cooperation and in fa t all the artists who arc pot o.i gaged for the entire season with the Metropolitan Opera Company or the Chicago Opera Association, also such principal artists who devote part o’ their time to concert engagements, nro available for guest appearances. New singers who have made their reputation In Europe will be added aud there Is an unlimited opportunity for American tal-

ent to get a start under the most favorable conditions. 1 am ready to submit the entire or ganization plan to anyone who is interested and desires particular Information as to details. "I intended to divide the United States Grand Opera Company Into five circuits, to be designated ns the eastern, mid-west-ern, western, southern and Pacific divisions. I expect to open one circuit every season, starting with the mldwestern division (Cincinnati, Cleveland, Detroit

and Pittsburgh as principal cities) during the season 1922-23 and adding another circuit each season thereafter. Five years after the opening of rhe first circuit the whole territory of the United States should he covered. "The question of getting large theaters will find a practicable solution. I have assurances from some of the leading motion picture houses to use their theatres for grand opera performances once or twice a month. Within a few years this country will have hundreds of potential picture palaces with adequate stage accommodations aud enormous seating capacities well fitted for giving grand opera within splendid surroundings. '1 am not asking for financial backing. I am not seeking guarantors who, after paying a deficit for one season, will withdraw their support. I want to establish permanent high class grand opera on a self-sustaining basis. "I have been connected with grand opera for over thirty years. I have made it. a study and have watched Its growth

lu this country. I can claim a thorough knowledge of grand opera, both from the standpoint of the singer and that of the manager. 1 was engaged as leading tenor at the principal opera houses in Europe, and the Metropolitan Opera House for twenty-two years. I was administrative manager of the Metropolitan Opera Company and was tho organizer and first general director of the Chicago Opera Company. I still hold the title of honorary associate of the Metropolitan Opera Company which was awarded

to ma by decision of' the board of directors. “In order to carry cut this far-reach-ing operatic enterprise I have formed the United States Grand Opera Club. This club, through membership fees which will consist of one payment, will provide the necessary funds for the promotion of the organization. "The only money required will be for an extensive publicity campaign and travelling expenses. I am willing to devote all my time and work without any salary until the company starts opera-’ tion. “A sufficient number of club members will give me the means and ample time to carry the project to success. I shall not start until enough subscriptions for tickets are raised in every city to cover all the running expenses and I shall wait with the opening of the season until financial conditions are Improving,” he declared. Mr. Dippel explains that the club memberships are divided into four classes; donors, contributing $100; patrons, those contributing, SSO; supporting members, those contributing $25 and members, those contributing $lO. Those who want real grand opera presented in Indianapolis will do well to consider the plan of Mr. Dippel. j KEITH NEWS Elmer Rogers, manager of B. F. Keith's Palace Theater, has planned a unique display for the Keith Third of a Century Jubilee AVeek, commencing April 24. Adjoining the Palace on Broadway is a low old-fashioned building. Mr. Rogers plans to do over the front of the building Into an exact replica of the tiny “store show” on Washington street in Boston where B. F.

The startling contrast between the old-time museum and the magnificent Palace Theater next door will bring home to the thousands who pass on the street something of the significance of the growth and development of B.

It is a story of the woman who awoke to find that she was practically a slave In her own home, to come at tho beck and call of a husband who failed to realize, that woman had rights. The Ibsen storyf and play undoubtedly was one of the real forces in the awakening of women of the world to the right of independence they have since won. Nora, as the wife of Torvaid Helmer, was happy In her way, the mother of three children and the mistress of a home that had all that homes of the better class afforded. But an awakening came and she realized she was little better than a slave. She resolved on radical action and walked out of the home Into, the world to find independence.
