George ArlL, vrhos acting berann familiar la So-ith Bnd through his apparar.'"Pi hero in "Septimus," Disraeli" and "Pazanlnl," is impersonating a larnd French doctor In a piny known ha "Jaua luval." which Is a Berlin pucreo.-j, ,trango that may ceem. The physician Is the discoverer of a scrum fatal to tuberculosis. An actress new to South Berul is to wake her bow at tho olir tonight and hr pnwornent will continue over tomorrow nicht. She is Patricia Collinr. Mis Collingo coracii a stranger, but murh han been heard of her eyr"dally her succciw In "Pollyanna." Tonight ehe will be seen In "Tillle." the Mennonlte play, made from Helen FL Martin's "book. Kla-.v & Erlanger and George C. Tyler are the producers, which Is a quarunte that nothing hrui been overlooked. In the cast South Benders will recognize. John V. RanFone, whov a long time ago nearly 18 years wn3 the Hans Wagner In "Prince of Pilsen" at the Auditorium. When Mian Collingo In "Tillie" tilled a long engagement at tho Blackstone In Chicago, reviewers found much to admire In the htar and there, as elserwhero, Mr. RanFone'H country doctor characterization 1j rated as all that the expression "fine acting" should mean when not used recklessly. Nora Bay es Is to Ftart an engagement In "Iadiea First" at the Cort theater, Chicago, tonight. Miss Bayes Is no longer a ttranger In J-'outh Bend. h'ho was a long time In getting here. When "Abraham Lincoln" is produce. 1 John McGlynn, an unknown actor, will bo cast In tho name jiart. The chief af reason for selecting him is said to bo that his voice resembles a Lincoln tradition. It is also declared that his face is well adapted to tho most famous of history's whiskers, Tim Murphy, who used to play "A Texas fcteer" and "Old Innocence" In South Bend and who on one occasion in tho dim past appeared under tmch exceptional condition that strict enforcement of the prohibition law would now make Impossible, was considered for the part of Lincoln, but ho is doing so well in "Five O'clock" that it wa not thought wiso to tako him from that play. "The fc'on-Daughtcr" Is tho peculiar title of tho play In which Leonora t'lrich is appearing. Liko Tiger Ito?e," in which Miss Ulrich acted last season, it Is a David Bela? o production. Tho play 13 Chlii.kc and Füectacular. Albert Brü

ning is In support of Mis3 Ulrich. Gladys Knorr ha succeeded .Margaret Jjawrence in 'Tea for Three." current ;tt the LaSalle in Chicago. Walker Whiteside, who lias not aeied in f-'outh Bend in a long time, ;v enroute to the Pacific coast in The Master1 of Ballantrae." Mr. Whiteside as a boy and then as a Matured actor made many appearances in South Bend, his best acting here having been done In "Tho

.Melting rot." Raehael Crothers play. "3D East." with Constance Eir.ney and Henry Hull, due at the Oliver coon, will Miceeed "Tho Five Million" at the Princess theater in Chicago. The New York cast of this play has S'een kept intact. .Tu'ia Marlowe, who is, with l.cr hUib-iiul. I. II. Sothem, soon cuiumg to the Oliver, is about to write h'?;- memoirs. Miss Marlowe more than 17 years ao established a record for receipts at tho Auditorium. She was then in "When Knighthood was in Flower." Wilton Iackaye, alas ood ac!i.r. has achieved distinct personal .-ticc'ss in Augustus Thoni.is' new play. "'Palmy Days," which tells of

early California. Mr. Lackaye's new rol" Is much different that the many parts he ha.s heen playing. He wa her in 'The Pit, 'The Law and the Man." "The Bondsman," "The Battle" and as one of the stars in "A Good Bad Woman" a very bad play. .'ir Johnston Forbes-Robertson, who a few years apo played "The Passing of the Third Floor Back" Kt the Oliver, has arrived from England and is lecturing on Shakespeare and his plays. Accompanying Sir Johnson is his wife, Gertrude Elliott, who it. ore 0 years asro was at the Auditorium with her pister, Maxine Elliott, and her brother-in-law, Nat C. Goodwin, in "An American Citizen." South Bend has not seen much of Billle Burke lately, her last appearance here having h"n in "Jerry." Miss Burke Is to star in "Caesar's Wife," a play by Somerset Maugham, which will be produced by Miss Burke's husband. Florenz ZIftgneld. In addition to having Norman Trevor and Tom Powers as leading men, the Burke .support will include

Frederic Be. Bellvilie and Hilda Hpong. South Bend playgoers liked Miss Burke in "I)ve Watches," "Mrs. Dot." "The Runaway" etc. James K. Hacfcrtt is to impersonate, the chief character in "The Rise of Silas Ltpham," the play made from William Dean Howells' novel of the same name. After inheriting a fortune, Mr. Hackett all but abandoned acting, acquiring a theater and engaging in productions. His last acting was In one of the touring companies of "The Bet ter 'Ole," the peculiar comedy with music in which DeWolf Hopper, among the best of singing comedians. Is headed fcouth Bendward. In The Crisis," "The Crown Prince," "The Walls of Jericho" and other things, Mr. Hackett convinced his local admirers that he could act.

Blanche Rimr, remembered here in "The Yankee Girl," and her husband, Charles J. Winnlnger, are importantly cast In the Winter Garden production, "The Passing Show," in New York. Mr. Winnlnger, an impersonator of distinct glff, copies Lionel Barrymore as Neri in "Tho Jest" and George Nash as the Chinese dandy, Charlie Yung, In "East is West," while Miss Ring gives imitations of John Barrj'more in 'The Jest" and Fay Bainter in "East is West." They continue digging up farces buried for lo these many years in order to get material for musicalization purposes. "Fifty Fifty, Ltd.," current in New York, was onco "All the Comforts of Home." wherein William Gilletto found favor. Herbert Corthell, last here in "Canary Cottage" and Gertrude Yanderbilt, who was an important factor in "The Lady in Red," are in "Fifty Fifty, Ltd." The first performance of "Aphrodite" (first time in America) is scheduled for tho Century theater in New York one week from tomorrow night, Nov. LM. F. Ray Cornstock and Morris Gest are the producers. Best seats for the first performance are selling at ?10 each. What they will be öfter that, depends upon several things. John McCormack, most popular siner in the world, gave his tenth anniversary concert at the New Y'ork Hippodrome and ns many people as could crowd into that giant btructure heard him sing. Mr. McCorinat.k made his debut at the Manhattan opera house in New York Nov. 10, 100?. His tenth anniversary concert was his one hundredth in Few York. Arrangemnts are being made for Mr. McCormack to sing in South Bend either at Notre Dame gymnasium, where Amenta Galll Curci recently attracted :;o-o persons; or at the dedication of the Blacktone motion picture theater.

AI Jolson in "Sinbad" Is slow In coming west. Mr- Jolson is now filling a Boston engagement. Charles Purcell, Julia Dean. Tom McNaughton. Earl Benham and Flavia Arcaro aro in the caM of "The Ma?lc Melody," an operetta. Walker Whiteside once starred in a play of that name. The Greenwich Village Follies, with Bessie McCoy Davis featured In the cast, are at the Nora Bayes theater in New York. "Listen Lester" was much better liked in Indianapolis than In South Bend. The Chicago company, however, was sent to the state capital. Valesks. Suratt, vho is coming to the Oliver in Jack Lait's "Scarlet and "White." at one time resided in Indianapolis . Terre Haute is her home town. For several years she has been prominent in movies. She

was once in a musical show called "The Red Rose" and she filled vaudeville engagements. Her clothes and her manner of wearing them attracted much attention and some admiration. There was a tlroe when Richard Carle, who waa at the Oliver last night in "Sunshine," was among the most popular musical comedy comedians on the stage. In his beginning days Mr. Carle was a Lyceum entertainer. He .became familiar here through appearing in "The Storks" and then producing "The Tenderfoot" at the Auditorium. That was more than lo years ago. Although he starred In "Tho Mayor of Tokio," "Mary's Lamb," "Jumping Jupiter," "The Echo" and other things, Carle reached top-notch favor in "The Spring Chicken," which he did not bring to South Bend. Association with Hattie Williams and appearances in George Cohan's revue occupied his attention until he came forth again as a star in "Furs and Frills" and finally he was called upon to "radiate "Sunshine."

Blanche Bates in "Möllere" has come to an end. . Extraordinarily big successes in New York are Ethel Barrymore in "Declassee," Ina Claire in "The Gold Diggers," "Clarence," a new

comedy by Booth Tarkington, 'Too Many Husbands," imported from London, "Apple Blossoms," the Frit? Krelsler-Victor jacobl comic opera, and holdovers from last season, Frank Bacon in "Lightnin," John and Lionel Barrymore in "The Jest" and "The Royal Vagabond," a Cohanized comic opera, Mclntyre & Heath, now starring in "Hello Alexander," havo been partners for 4 5 years. The New Y'ork Times makes the following reference to "For tho Defense," recently played at the Oliver by Richard Bennett: "Also rather quietly offered out of town recently was 'For the Defense.' a melodrama by Elmer L. Rice, who wrote On Trial back in the days when his name was Elmer E. Reizent'tein. The play has a murder somewhero concealed in it, and Richard Bennett has the leading role, that of a District Attorney." Bayard Yeiller has written a new play called "The Kind-Hearted Burglar," which Oliver Morosco will produce. "Love On Account" is the name of a play Walter Hast has scheduled for production. Crane Wilbur's "The Haunted Violin" was prduced in Atlantic City. "Black and White" is the name of a new play. In London. Henry Ainley, English

1 actor, is playing "Redemption" un-

'-.l.T the title of ' Reparation." John Barrymore acted "Redemption" in

best prima donna heard in South Bend in many a day. Valeska Suratt in "Scarlet and White," enroute to the Oliver, will fill an engagement at tho Majestic theater, Ft. Wayne, tonight. "Tiger Rose," "The Boomerang," "Up in Mabel's Room,' "A Tailor Made Man" and 'Tea for Three" are Oliver bookings. "The acquittal" continues to draw large audiences at the George M. Cohan Grand opera house In Chicago, where it has met with extraordinary favor. Not often has a dramatic offering achieved mich success in Chicago as has been won by "Tho Acquittal." It is an excellent play, excellently acted. Seldom has a cast ibeen organized that will compare with that nowgiving "Apple Blossoms," tho Fritz Krcisler-Victor Jacobi-Willlam LeBaron operetta at the Globe theater, New Y'ork. It includes John Charles Thomas, best baritono on the light opera stage: Wilda Bennett who was at the Oliver in "Honeymoon Town"; Rena Parker, Percival Knight, Harrison Brockfbank, Pauline Hall and others. Charles Dillingham made .the production. Tho Krcisler-Jaeobi music has caught New- Y'ork by storm, "Happy Days" is prospering at the big New Y'ork Hippodrome as no other attraction at that immense theater has ever prospered. Features in this production are so numerous that it is next to Impossible to list all of them. The Hippodrome continues to bo tho mecca

for New Yorkers and transients alike. A trip to Gotham is not complete without having seen "Happy Days." Florence Moore is starring in "Breakfast in Bed." E. H. Sothern and Julia Marlowe, who are en route to tho Oliver theater, last night concluded an engagement at the Boston opera
