ROUNDING THEATERS

Am going to make an earnest plea—Send itito English’s, “Song of the Flame” with Tessa Kosta, Guy Robertson and the Russian Art Choir. This is my one big plea of the season, Mr. Arthur Hammerstein, because I saw this show at the in Cinoinnati, Ohio, this week.

“Song of the Flame” is really light* opera with a spiritual note at times which fs marvelously lmpresslve < From a musical standpoint It is as perfectly done as human - effort could d*o It The Russian Art Choir Is a singing organization which at times reminded me of a gigantic pipe organ. This organization stops the show cold. AH' of the principals have been chosen with that 'rare knowledge which some casting directors possess. Here is better entertainment, ranking with “Rose Marie,” "The Student Prince” and others which have made myslcal history upon the stage. If you want “The Song of the Flame,” write me a letter, so I can have something to work upon. It costs a fortune to put this large eompay anjl production over the read. Capacity must be the rule here just to break even. Do you wan “The Song of the Flame?” Write me. Then Bupport It when it comes. I know what I am talking about because I have seen it. -I- -I- •!• N • In my review of Charles Derickson, dramatic tenor, and Burton Brown, pianist, on this week’s Keith bill, I gave an opinion adverse to Mr. Derjckson and made a suggestion.

Since the inception of pictures there have been many screen lovers, even when Valentino lived, but since the beginning there are but three Outstanding screen lovers, according to the famous writer and producer. It was Miss Mathis who first Introduced the Latin type of lover to the motion picture public by selecting the unknown Valentino to portray 4he role of ‘Julio" in "The Four Horsemen, of the Apocalypse." “The three great screen heroes. Judging from their fan popularity are, first Maurice Costello, the dark tyj>e of man,” says Miss Mathis, "and next Francis X. Bushman, who was twice crowned king of the matinee Idols—of light complexion and a blonde. Frqjp Bushman the public swung Into the opposite direction, popularizing again., the dark type In Rudolph Valentino. The public will not take another Latin type of screen lover, because Valentino is so endeared in the hearts of the motion picture fans, and the honor of being the next greatest lover in cinema.land will go to the blonde type of man.” ' BAYNE%N STAGE Beverly Bayne, the motion picture star, is now headlining In KelthAlbee vaudeville In anew sketch by Edwin Burke.

Great Artist in Concert

Talbot Fine Arts Enterprises. Her program, as Schumann-Helnk herself said frop the stage, made up entirely of songs which which have become favorites the great majority of her listeners. Dividing, her numbers Into three parts she sung the first and third in English and the second in German. r The first three numbers were of a deeply religious character reflecting th? solemn nature aid seriousness of the church. The second group was on the order of the folksong being mostly of a sentimental and lighter vein. In her third and last group Schumann-Helnk did the mofe dra-

One number In this group “Trees,” by Oscar Rasbach, the artist, was kind enough to sing twice, once for the audience out ffont and again for those who were on the stage. Il Is a short and beautiful song. • In her encores she seemed to feel at her best. One could plainly see that In singing My Boy” the artist singing a song that brought back memories with its melody. This was the song she sung In the camps and for the soldiers dining the war. The last two numbers, “Stille Nacht" and “The Rosary” are such favorites that they need no comment. Florence Hardeman, assisting artist on the program, and Stewart Wllle, accompanist at the piano, are also assured N 'of many friends in this city on account of the work they did. Miss Hardeman gave a violin program of true concert merit, and Mr. Stewart at the piano was none the less appreciated. Presented, by the Ona B. Talbot Fine Arts Enterprises as the final concert of ,Schumann-Helnk In this city at the Murat Friday evening, Oct. 22. 192 C. (By S: T. H.)
