The Theaters
'THE PRINCE OF TONIGHT." Theater-goers are being served this season with many warmed over nenuH. "It Is the worst season In years." They all say this. But this time It seems to be the truth. Company after company Is returning to New York to disband and form new combinations. ' In even the higher priced vaudeville bouses the cheaper acts are being substituted for the better because so many of the former have been "laid off" and can outbid their confreres with more artistic eclat. Stars are returning to former successes, new plays and other theatrical productions failing to interest the pubJlc. Among others, Henry Woodruff in to revival of "The Prince of Tonight" "which appeared here Saturday afterbioon and evening at the Gennett. The innocuousness of the musical comedy in general and of "The Prince .of Tonight" in particular iu particular because it is, in its way, representative of its class was never more apparent than in this presentation.
Having seen it before it was divest- j
ed of any glamour which it might have possessed on account of unfamiliarity with book and score and an opportunity afforded to study its theatric anatomy. Anatomy presupposes, however, a regularity of structure and since there Is neither structure nor regularity nbout this or any other musical comedy "The Prince of Tonight" is absolutely spineless. A more vacuous hedge podge of banality it would be Impossible to imagine. And the artificiality of its story is so glaring that real artificiality is
bald and commonplace in comparison. j However, "The Prince of Tonight ' j has, as said before in its appearance i here, a hint of poetry in its plot in the Introduction of the story of the old i
gardner and the century plant and the brief reign of "Jim Southerland" as
"The Prince of Luuitania" raising it out of the muck of its musical and ! librettist! environ into almost the haze i of the symbolical. If the plot, or what serves as a plot, could have revolved j round this center, the thing could j have been made a charming little idyll. Henry Woodruff, also as said before, j has a certain sugary attraction that , lends itself to representations of the fairy prince sort rather than that of a young man mixed up with a lot of ; Billy, vulgar, human emanations al- j
though Woodruff's acting, as well as singing qualities, are negligible.
Henry Woodruff has, in common i parlance, a good head on him a well j shaped physical head, and it looks, I from the audience, as if he might do I something better than all this stuff, j "Stuff" is the only word it can be
called. For it isn't anything, theatrically or musically or dramatically. And it is not long before this thespian will have to get out of the matinee class. And then what? The company is not as good as that which supported him a couple of seasons ago. E. G. W.
manipulator of the bubble and sees the money roll in. She typewrits aphorisms of success which are used for western bait; she presents in alluring phrase the picture of how by .turning over $100, according to the new fortune for a farthing system, prosperity can be made to order. She supplies the sugared words that go with salted mines. She lives in an atmosphere of compound interest, doubled dollars and money magnified. Prosperity in the easy money enterprises always carries with it corres
ponding extravagances. The girl at the business elbow is seldom forgotten. If she is invited out to dinner and sees rare vintage in a bottle before her, and gets an occasional bauble of jewelry, she credits it to her painstaking efforts for the welfare of the establishment. ftrom the Jared Flagg case emerged Madeline Russe, a girl of nineteen, who had the telephone job at $10 a week. The detail of what she knew about the affairs of the concern has not yet been told. It was a paying concern, was Flagg's it paid Flagg, at least. When this attractive young woman had been in the ofice a few weeks she was promoted, according to the management, and kept all Wall street under eye and in her head as well. At one hand was the telephone and at the other the ticker. At the rise and fall of thirty different stocks interested Flagg reatly, Miss Russe had the job of handling these transactions.
Some nights when she was a little tired after a long day of stock buying and selling she rode home in a mottor car. The girl knew no more at the start about fantastic finance than a girl at a ribbon counter does about the manufacture of watered silk. Still, she played a part and shared some of her employer' secrets. When 520 per cent. Miller became the cunning Croesus of Williamsburg, and made simple folk who were getting savings bank interest feel that they were losing money, he had a girl
with wonder eyes to sit at a desk near the door of his busy office to say "I'm so sorry," when a widow dropped in to get her interest and received only conversation. Connie Morgan's radium mine was one of our greatest paper money makers, with radium quoted at $1,000 a teaspoonful, Connie's mine could possibly have been worth less that 360 billion trillion million. Still, being a good fellow, he was willing to let a few selected capitalists in on the ground floor for a few thousand shares of stock each at 4 cents a share. Connie
opened offices uptown, but he didn't use his own name on the door, for those who knew Connie would never belieTe he was worth even three hundred billion trillion, and there were other reasons, too. The young woman at the redium shop was very much in the dark about the business at first, but she could show the shares, and they were as fine as any in the market. After she had taken in about 1.100 from the earnest residents of NewEngland who wanted to help develop the marvelous property, Connie was
suddenly called to the mine, and the girl was asked to explain about the property. "Is there any of the radium in
itown?" she was asked.
"I have never seen any," she replied, "although Mr. Morgan said that he had the coal cellar full of it and more on the way from the mine." Thoroimnn th VOlinff woman eXCUS-
j ed herself, saying she would get the j record book showing just how many j tons of the stuff there were in the town. This was some time ago. She hasn't returned. Radium mine records
are hard to find. United Wireless preferred, whlclt was very commond, and common, which was sometimes preferred, M bubbles run, was a cleanup second to none. The bubble's stenographer was Stella Lewis, a girl of eighteen, who on the very day that the company an4 its people were indicted, became the wife of Christopher Columbus Wilson., the smug and bespectacled old president of the concern.
