IJEALOUS WIVES ARE TAUGHT A LESSON Wilton Byron as Jack Sylvester in 'The Triumphant Bachelor’ Proves His Point About Women [ Who Do Not Trust Husbands. [ by WALTER D. HICKMAN TACK SYLVESTER, our dress suit “hero” in “The Triumphant Bache•9 lor, has the theory that all wives under certain circumstances, are jjust naturally jealous. He was so strong for his theory that he individually made a bet for IB thousand bucks apiece with three of his men friends that their wives (under a certi in circumstance could be made so jealous that they wouldn’t be speaking to their husbands forty-eight hours after the discovery of alleged unfaithfulness.

That is the plot in the nutshell tof Owen Davis’ comedy, “The Tri-

umphant Bachelor,” who remains a bachelor after his victory. But the victory does not come until after a mighty tough battle. Our bachelor friend in the first act finds himself tricked into proposing to a crybaby girl. His three men friends boast that their wives have complete faith in them but Sylvester has another theory. So he has his female sec-

Then ahings begin to happen. Two of the |wives go wild and declare that they (rill leave their husbands and the 5 biird one calmly announces that ( Bhe was going to stay home but her husband would be some other place \ jmd that she didn’t give a rip just where that place was. And so the three wives go away. Just as the iurtain goes down on the first act, she three distressed and confused fiusbands hand over their checks to ' Sylvester. The remainder of the two acts Complicates the trouble and in the Cnd our bachelor friend is still a bachelor and he calmly announces to his secretary that she is never to Jnention the word marriage. And as far as the playwright tells us, the cry-baby girl, who was first engaged to Sylvester, remained single and Crying. Milton Byron plays the role of 'Sylvester, the bachelor, in a natural and pleasing way. Here is a light pomedy-farce role and Byron is doing beautifully with it. Idabelle Aronld is cast in one of the minor roles, that of the secretary, but she giakes the part stand out. Edythe Elliott is cast as Flora Calvert, the cry-baby flapper. She is good in her crying scenes. It is a pleasure to record that Bernice Marsolais, as one of the wives, has a role that gives her a high comedy chance and she is playing it for all it is worth. Give this woman a phance and she can do wonders frith the right kind of a role. The husbands are played by Bob

Fay, Larry Sullivan and Robert St. Clair. Others in the cast are Dorothy Farley, Eleanor Schefler, Mildred Hastings and Harry Hoxworth. It is pleasing entertainment and well played. Now on view at English’s. a a a STILL CHARMING IS “THE DOVER ROAD” In considering at this time “The Dover Road,” I can tell you at the beginning that “The Dover Road” is as charming as ever. I have always admired, liked and at times loved this pleasant bit of dream life from the pen of A. A. Milne. He is one writer who can take the simple habits of man, such as the

shaving scene and while playing it against a dramatic background make it charming human comedy. And that takes an artist. As we have had “The Dover Road” here before, I will not go into detail about the play as a play except to tell you that it is charming and as entertain-

ing as ever. Os George Gaul course much of the credit is due to the way that the cast catches Milne’s charm and scatters it all over the theater. There is notable acting again this week in the Stuart Walker group. And it seems to me Harry Ellerbe as Nicholas has caught anew maturity over night. There is anew clearness that he puts into the musical prose of Milne that makes his character one of such much charm. Ellerbe has caught the charm of the author both as to the spoken word and the “business.” This man is growing in what I call mature theater, that is the technical side of the game. I was more than impressed with Ellerbe this time, so much so that his work was upper most in my brain box when I left the theater. As Mr. Latimer, the man who has the strange house on the Dover Road, George Gaul has a dress suit role of so much merit that he can with the greatest ease bestow upon this character all of his great artistry and understanding of character projection. Here is polished, clever, sincere and pointed work. In fact some mighty fine high comedy work. Then, there is the Eustasia of Carlotta Irwin. Here is a magnificent piece of comedy fooling. SnicereV Yes, but that quality gives to' the characterization that element of realism which the character deSCMkOfiSCR'C CmjROVE BtfrTER Cjnsh Churnedfrom'freshCham

mands. Eustasia is quite a grand mess, you know. Marie Adels, as Anne, a girl who thought that she wanted to go over the Dover Road to ruin, has a chance to bring forth her light comedy talents. These talents glow brilliantly especially when played opposite Gaul. Aldrick Bowker is Dominic. And my word, guess how Bowker dresses this man servant role. Really, old top, he is wearing short trousers. Here again we feel that finely drawn comedy touch of this actor. Larry Fletcher is cast as Leonard, who suffers his first cold when running away with a woman not his wife. And Leonard is not a pretty sight when he has a cold and needs a shave. Fletcher last night had a tendency to frolic a little wee bit too much. It may be polite to whisper a thank you when prompted, but I don’t agree. There are numerous others in the cast and the one set used is of great beauty. As directed by George Somnes, “The Dover Road” is one of the charming treats of the season. Now at B. K. Keith's. a a a BARCLAY WINS ON LYRIC BILL Burlesque in the hands of the right person is oftentimes a scream And then again it may become rather putrid, by giving it the twist that is needed. Don Barclay has severed things in his act “Oh I Did Not,” that are wows. First, he presents a little skit that shows a man opening a safe to get a pin that another man put in a packet of money. It is aii done in pantomime and hands out a lot of laughs, but the right burlesque. The second part of the act is the old gag stuff where the two men exchange a lot of jokes, some of them funny. The act gets its name from this part. The third part of the act handed me the biggest kick. Barclay had a film flashed on the screen that he says was made fifteen years ago by D. W. Griffith and had Lillian Gish, Lionel Barrymore and Harry Carey in the cast. Barclay attempts to read the titles and gets them wrong and makes remarks about the actors that might have been made in the old nickelodian when the picture first came out. Archie Leach helps Barclay in the first two parts of the act. Roy Byron and Company have a good comedy skit entitled “The Lingerie Shop le,” in which Byron, an escaped member of the Alimony Club, gets into a ladies’ apparel shop and trys to give all the customers what they want. It turns out his wife is the person who owns the shop. There is some dancing in this, but the comedy of Byron's puts the act over. Lentini and Company have an 'offering called “Oddities.” It surely is. Lentini lays claim to the distinction of the being the only man in the w'orld having three distinct legs, each well formed. This third leg is controlled by Lentini much as his other two. He demonstrates this by kicking a football with it. In the act are a midget who does a song and dance and a giantess who stands seven feet one inch high, according to the announcement. She Buy the Kiddies a puppy.

Verdict of the Stage ENGLISH’S—The Berkell Players are doing wonderfully with “The Triumphant Bachelor.” Well acted and splendidly mounted. One you should see. KEITH’S—“The Dover Road” even at this time in its history possesses all the charm that it had when first presented. Splendidly acted. A gorgeous set. One of the charming treats of the season. LYRIC—A good bill this week with Don Barclay topping the bill in a comedy act that is different. Roy Byron and company have a clever comedy skit.

sings and plays the guitar. The act is just vnat it is called. I have often wondered if any one could ever do the tap dances on their toes. Louise Manning in the act of Hayden, Manning and Hayden, does just that. Not only the tap, but buck dances as well. She also sings and plays the banjo in the act. One of the Haydens is sort of nut comedian, assuming the manners and dress of the burlesqued Englishman. Some of his stuff is quite amusing, especially a song about the bugs in the food. The ether plays the piano and concertina and one-string “fiddle.” A geed song and dance act. Slap stick comedy gets tiresome at times, especially after a lot of it. Ulis and Clark have a skit that has a bit too much of it, to my way of thinking. But that does not keep it from being a sure-fire act. The girl is the whole thing however. She sings "and gets a lot of comedy into it. She is also a pretty fair

yodeler. The man in the act is a good foil for all the girls foolishness. The Anderson Brothers are two Negro boys that have a lot of syncopation in their feet. They do several tap and eccentric aances that are good. One of the boys tells a story about goiqg to church when a little boy. This is one continuous laugh. They are fair singers, doing some of the popular songs. Here is a juggling act that has a few things that are not usually seen in this sort of an act. Raymond plays two different tunes on the piano and balances two 'amps at she same time. They juggle balls and clubs an/1 balance cones of fire and other things. Raymond gives an imitation of a horse walking down a street with wooden balls and little pieces of wood. He is assisted by Geneva. A good act.

has no plans to purchase a plane. He prefers to charter machines manned by experienced pilots. “Les Maitland has promised to take me on some trips about the State this fall,” the Governor told the United Press. Lieut. Lester J. Maitland, a Milwaukeean, w'as commissioned a colonel on the Governor’s staff last summer after his successful California to Hawaii flight with Lieut. Albert Hegenberger. During his first term, Governor Zimmerman toured the northern forest lands of the State. He flew to New York to welcome the Ger-man-Irish crew of the Bremen. He has made shorter hops about the State to fill speaking engagements. He headed a squadron of twenty planes from Milwaukee to a convention in Chicago. His flights have taugnt him that a Governor arriving in a distant section of the State by plane attracts a larger audience than coming by any other means of transportation.

ADMIT DEATH j DF WAR LORD Chang’s Son to Take Over Manchuria Rule. Bn United Press TOKIO, June 19.—Nippon Dempo in a special dispatch today from Mukden said that announcement of the death of Chang Tso Lin. Manchurian war lord and former dictator of the north China government, would be made on June 21. Chang Tso Lin was injured three weeks ago when, fleeing from Pekin in front of the nationalist drive, his special train was bombed at the outskirts of Mukden. The dispatch to Nippon Dempo said that Chang’s eldest son, Chang Hsueh-Liang would proclaim himself Tupan of the Fengtien province immediately after announcement of his father’s death. Also it was considered possible the son would proclaim himself generalissimo of the Fengtieng or Mukden troops.
