Dot Miller Put on Her Paint and Marched on but Kay Beatty Found Her Own Soul

Ify WaJjter D. Hickman Hi —I IGII class hotel lobby workers they were —these ladles of u__J tin., evening. Wlv4 were men, who attend convention# at Atlantic City, made for If not to pay hotel bills for such ladies? That was the logic or rather the excuse of Dot Miller, one of those

slangy, but cute little intimate playmate with any man on a second's lotice.

talent and means. He knew that in every woman there was a soul or a something which If developed and given a free chance would cause the human ship to steer a straight course. He was right, but it taker four acts in “Ladies of the Evening,’’ to prove his theory. Kay four\d her soul, beauty, love and work. Dot put on more war i>aint on her face, annexed a rich daddy and dug gold by the pound out of the old “dog.’’ Dot kept marching on from one fur coat to another as long as she had a rich daddy. That Is the story, just between us, ©f "Ladles of the Evening,” a David Belasco production, which flourished In New York for many months last season. Here Is a play that tackles a problem of commercialized sex. The tragedy and comedy of such situations have both been handled In a truthful manner. It Is the object of this play to amuse and the “ladies” do that and at the same time several “tons” of thought creep into one’s being as the play unfolds itself. Dot Miller is just one of those “things,” those human good fellows, who are just good for nothing. But Dot Miller Is humin. She is alive. She Is the mistress of her one person tent show. She is the berries. She knows tho glang and the tricks Which will land men with more money than brains. She is the “old cats” herself. She Is a rotter, but a “good fellow” of definite “occupaThere is Not a better TONIC MEDICINE than SHAPLEY’S Original STOMACH MEDICINE Try it Today, and be Convinced HOOK’S DEPENDABLE DRUG STORES AND ALL GOOD DRUG STORES.

tion.” She is life. Dot goes marching on to the grave and Is satisfied just as long as her apartment bill is paid and she has anew fur coat and a few other little itenijj when she wants it. Kay Beatty, on the other hand, Is a woman who rises above her “profession.” From a hard woman of the street and any hotel she becomes a woman in every sense of the term. Kay goes marching on to glory, protected by a great, clean love and a real purpose. As cleverly as have the two characters been erfeated for theatrical purposes, just as cleverly are they acted by both Be’h Merrill as Kay Beatty and by Edna Hibbard as Dot Miller. Both of these women are equally great in this play. I saw this show in New York last summer and I know that Belasco has sent us the real article and the cast la giving a magnificent performance here. John Carmody and Frank Forbes as the watch salesmen from Waterbury, Conn., are gems as types of the characters they play. These two have the two big comedy parts in the third act with the assistance of Edna Hibbard. Dudley Hawley as Calvin King, Vernon Steele as Tom Standish and Leslie Austen as Jerry Strong have their roles which established or rather renewed their reputation on Broadway. When Belasco promises the real article, he gives just that. From a production stand point, “Ladles c>f the Evening” is' one of those fine Belasco accomplishments. For wise fun, for a dash of mental scarlet clothed In a fine cobweb case made of humor, l recommend “Ladles of the Evening” to those who agree that all jokes do not come out of the yearly almanac.

under the head of satisfactory entertainment. Leon and Dawn are two girls who probably have Been the Duncan Sisters do the sister stuff In "Topsy and Eva.” They work along the same lines although the eccentric comic does not put on a black makeup. These two girls have a clever little skit about the poor janitor's daughter who is a white Topsy and the rich roomer’s daughter, a sort of a dressed up Eva. They quarrel, sing and dance, play the like and do a. Spanish travesty number. All very good. Nella Arnant and Brothers have a musical offering mixed wlh some dancing. The violin trio is pleasing. Harry Berry and Miss offer melody and some unique entertainment. Berry is one of those likeable chaps with tone of rich human personality. He connects quickly and easily with his audience. His partner, a woman cornet player, aids in giving class to the act. His jazz song numbers are put over In that Intimate Frank Crumlt way which is so popular these days. “Moonlight and Killarney’’ Is an Irish sketch, with some romantic hokum, some fair singing and some corking Irish hoofing on the part of the old man in the act. If minstrel aets would eliminate the jokes. I probably could remain peaceful through such offerings. The Original Honey Boys is such an organization. Their singing is good, hut the comedy is only so-so.

Channel shipping was disorganized and the steamer Buckworth' from Antwerp for Santa Domingo collided with the Losovoeky, and was seriously damaged though she is trying to reach Dungeness. The Losovosky was towed into Dover. Weather forecasts gave hope for relief.
