Three Comedians
Wanted" Ermine;"
Wilson Got It
IN HIS autobiographya volume
mostly naive, tometimrs indis
creet, largely "profenionaP in ita
appeal, and interesting throughout to
all wild pones a lonunesi lor tut
theatricals within their memorytin
late N. C. Goodwin, who died leas
than thre year ago, devoted a chajw
tcr to "Erminie." Goodwin told how
he was one of three comediant
eager to ohtaiu the American riuhta
to the operetta when, in 18HS, it
was staged in Loudon, where for a
ver it disputed popularity with "The
Mikado," produced in the aame year.
The two oilier were Francia Wil
son and Dc Wolf Hopper, now
"leanied" in the piece, and on view
in the respective rolea they coveted
when neither was yet on the thresh
old of starhood.
Goodwin, going to London for the
purpose, returned with "Erminie"
and two or three other English
works, but hi manager and backer
was blind and deaf in the matter of
the operetta, although Goodwin, as
he says in his book, was on his
knees in supplication. Goodwin was
compelled to put on a rhymed bur
lesque in the old Myle, "Little Jack
Sheppard." instead of his beloved
"Erminie," which, in the course" of
a month or two. was obtained by
the New V'ork Casino, where Wil
son was then principal comedian.
Hopper, later, was solaced in a meas
ure with "The Lady or the Tiger?"
in which he had a fine role, but that
footliiclitiiig of Frank R. Stockton's
masterpiece lacked the melodic ap
peal of "Erminie." and lasted through
a season or two.
The consequences were interest
ing to any theater-goer who reacts
to the stage history of what may
be called our own times. Wilson,
"fattening" from night to night the
role of Cadeaux, made a run of more
than 800 performances in the Casi
no, and emerged a de facto star.
Goodwin, in "Little Jack Sheppard,"
in which he was Jonathan Wild (the
actual prototype in life by the bye.
, of Peachum, the thief-taker and
"fence" of Mr. Gay'g "Beggar's Op
era," if we are to believe the anti
quarians), was unhappy in the
rhymed couplets and Cockney puns
of the piece, and took second place
' in popular esteem to not only his
prima donna, the lovely Lillian
Grubb, but also to his soubrette. This
soubrctte was a handsome girl, until
then unknown, named Loie Fuller.
She had ambitions for grand opera,
and some years later achieved inte--national
fame as the originator of the
"serpentine" dance. She still con
ducts a school in Paris, of which
city she has lonpr been a resident.
And Goodwin, disgusted with the
trend of things, forsook his backer,
said goodbye to the lyric stage and
turned "straight" actor, never again,
save in a Lambs' club gambol, rais
ing his voice in song or utilizing
his nimble, rythmic feet in a clog or
jig. His passion for the "legitimate"
grew with the years. I'e played Bob
Acres and David Garrick. and then,
still unsatisfied. Shylock and Bottom
the Weaver. He was at one time
rated as a wealthy man. but he told
in his book that he "could have made
, -v enough money with "Erminie" to
'have staged everything that Shake
speare wrote."
Goodwin's backer, trie man who
couldn't discern anything worth
while in "Ermini'-," used better judg
ment in his next venture with his
bank roll. He took a young actress'
out of Cincinnati and "blew" her to
a special matinee of "Ingomar" in
New York City. The critics were not
certain about her. but the late Rob
ert G. Ingersoll was, and turned his
pen to the task of what now would
be called "putting her over." She
was Julia Marlowe, and Goodwin
once said to her:
"Your Rosalind is the sole miti
gation of my regret that I was not
allowed to stage 'Erminie.' If Miles
(the hacker) had listened to me, it
is a fair guess that he would have
had no time to devote to you. For
me. now all's square; you are great."
The librettist of "Erminie." the late
Harry Paulton. also nursed a griev
ance as to the American venture with
that operetta. An actor as well as a
playwright, he hurried hither on
learning that Wilson was to give uo
the role of Cadeamx and fare forth
as a star on his own, for Paulton
was eager to display himself as Ca
deaux to Americans. He arrived in
time to find out that the Casino man
agement had named James T. Pow
ers as Wilson's successor. Paulton,
as an actor, was not unknown in this
city, for he was principal comedian
with Lillian Russell for two or three
; seasons, and played with her in Cel
, ' Iter's delightful "Dorothy." and in
a work of Lecoca's called here "The
Queen's Mate." His comedy of "Ni
obe" was, for some years, a "smart"
success, such as "Dulcy" now is one,
but nothing else from his fecund and
.stage-wise pen ever won such a re
action from the American public s
"Erminie."
The Messrs' Wilson and Hopper
will be seen Jn "Erminie" at the
Brandeis theater for three nights, be
ginning November 14.
New Leading Man for Bebc
Theodore Von Eltr, leading man
with 'Bebe Daniels in "The Speed
Girl," showing at the Sun theater
this week, began his professional
career on the stage. Occasionally
he gets a feeling that he'd like to
talk to an audience again.
Fortunately, he is able to gratify
this natural desire without interfer
ing with his picture career, owin'g
to the number of "Little" and "Com
munity Theater", projects in and
near Hollywood, which draw on the
talent of the picture colony.
Just before starting work in "The
Speed Girl," Mr. Von Eltz played
on a bill with Henrietta Crossman
in "Belinda."
An Extra Now a Star.
Claire Windsor, who has the
leading role in the forthcoming pic
ture, "Grand Larceny," has been in
the films two and a half years. She
made her first appearance as an ex
tra. After nearly a month spent on a
. northern mountain location Jack
Holt and members of the company
supporting him in his first starring
picture, "The Call of the North,"
have returned to the Lasky studio
for the completion of the interior
scenes. Joseph Henabery, tormer
Omaha boy, is directing this picturi
zation of Stewart Edward White's
novel of the far north.

Girls, Beware of Cupid
"Good, Hard-Working, Clean-Minded Man Is Better
Than Wealthy Scion," Says Pearl White
"Don't Marry to Please Friends."
Pearl White, formerly known
throughout the world as "the Serial
Queen,". and who is now starring in
dramatic features, is one of the
most democratic women on the
screen. High rank in society, or
wealth, does not count much in Miss
White's friendships. She takes a
man or a woman for his or her real
worth. She judges people by their
character. In discussing people re
cently Miss White said:
"It is all rot to say that a girl
should not marry out of her social
level. To me that means only doing
what will please other people.
That's' style, not reason, and in most
When Woman Loves
She's a Monopolist,
Says Noted Writer
'.'Don't tell everything!"
Wives, paste that slogan on the
top of the kitchen calendar. Hus
bands, put it beside the "Keep
Smiling" sign on your office desk.
That is the recipe for happy
married life that Lorna Moon, a
movie continuity writer, develops in
her satirical picture, "Don't Tell
Everything," in which Wallace Reid,
Gloria Swanson and Elliott Dexter
are featured.
"I know it is popular dogma, that
all men are liars, but I'm. convinced
that these same men, even married
men, are more than willing to be
truthful if the consequences are not
too painful 1" says Miss Moon.
"Behind every lie a man tells a
woman is the desire to avoid a tear,
a recrimination, or a rolling pin.
Oftener still is the tender desire to
avoid hurting the woman.
"When a man lies to a woman, he
does it usually because she has made
him do it. The mental workings of
a man- are simple he cannot get
away from thinking that "No" means
"No." and "Yes" means "Yes."
"So when his sweetheart raises
her pansy-blue eyes to his and says,
"I want you to tell me all about the
other ' women you have known, and
I promise not to be jealous," he be
lieves.it. The woman believes it too.
But what makes her want to know is
the verv thin? that makes it im-
fpossible for her not to be jealous.
When she loves, a woman be
comes a monopolist. She wants to
go back and own the man's heart
frpm the beginning and forward
through eternity. A fever to own
all the recesses of his soul drives
her on to ask all that has gone be
fore. "In "Don't Tell Everything," the
woman wants to know everything
and promises not to be jealous. The
man, simple soul, in all good faith
begins to unburden, and then the
clouds begin to gather. After the first
crack of thunder, he realizes that
the way of truth isn't a path of roses.
So he lies, and he lies, and he lies,
and then the trouble starts.
"It isn't safe to lie to a woman,
and it isn't comfortable to tell the
truth. So my advice to every man
who wants to be happy is: tell a
woman what you must, but don't tell
everything."
Health and Contenment
"Take plenty of exercise; play all
the active healthful games you
can," advises Sessue Hayakawa,
popular Jap star. "The healthier
you are. the less you will have of
bad desires and the more contented
you will be."

ORPHEUM
cases such marriages do not bring
happiness to the girl.
"Why, I read the other day of a
wealthy girl in Philadelphia marry
ing a 'cowboy.' Her friends were
'horrified.' It turned out that, the
'cowboy' had a big ranch of his own.
I'll bet that girl is happy out there
in the west, living in the open, riding
horses and working with her hus
band. That girl rebelled against
convention. To me such conven
tions do no good for humanity. A
good, hard-working, clean-minded
man is better than the son of a
wealthy man who does net work,
but exists on his father's industry."
Famous Indian
Canoeist to Be
Seen on Screen
Noel Tomah, who is one of a pair
of Indians who made the famous
and record-breaking canoe trip of
3S0 miles from Bangor, Me., to
Provincetown, Mass., recently, is
also acquiring considerable fame as
a motion picture actor.
It will be remembered that the
newspaper dispatches all over the
country chronicled the trip of To
mah and his pal down the Penob
scot river out into the Atlantic
ocean down into the Provincetown
harbor in a frail birch bark canoe.
They made the trip to attend the
Pilgrim celebration being held there
that week. . '

and also his trusty and famous birch
bark canoe in which the trip was
made when they view the latest

"God's Country and the Law,''
which opens today at the Moon
theater.
Being a north woods story, all of

Borgny Hammer Is
Not Saying Farewell
It is rather a . relief to find distin
guished artists like Madame Borg
ny Hammer and Rolf Fjell, who do
not, while in the United' States, ex
ploit their European theatrical train
ing to announce that this season
will be their last. The device is so
old and thread-bare that when it
gets shiny and smooth in the hands
of. certain well-known of our tour
ing visitors, one feels pos-i-tively
free from suspense when age or
death finally forbids another appear
ance. Madame Hammer, so far from
making a final tour, has come to
love our country and has chosen to
become a proud part of it. She spen
four years in seclusion learning our
language which she now employs
with perfection. She is not compelled
to ask the tolerance of her audience
to listen to a foreign interpretation
of the plays in which she performs.
The audience and performer are on
a common footing of understanding.
Her mastery of English has enabled
Laurence Clarke to unite her with
a group of prominent European and
American artists, including Rolf
Fjell, Jasper Deeter and Arthur
Stanhope, and a notable supporting
cast into the "Traveling. Theater,"
which will open at the Brandeis thea

performance and lair, a wallowing
pack, in the wake of the action there
after. "The Claw," which Henri Bern
tein wrote in good French in the
first place, i translated into very
good Engliah. The acton of "The
Claw," with the exception of l!ar
rymore and Mist Fen wick, are non
plused by the quaint ar.-lnic cor
rectness of this troe. "Ti'c Claw"
is translated into a language which
Mill survives in some printed books,
but has completely disappeared from
the literature of the American itae.
Mr. Barrymore's support would lie
quite at home in words written by
Mr. Winchell Smith, which are not
English. They are younger than Mr.
Barrymore and have had all their
stage experience in "the kind of play
that has beeu written since the vo
cabulary of the stage dropped to
1.000 words, mostly mispronounced.
To prepare them to pliy opposite
Mr. Barrymore it would have been
necessary to teach them the mean
ings and the enunciations of words.
That would have been a long, per
haps impossible process. The pro
ducer shrugged his shoulders and
tossed them their parts. Most of
the time they deliver them with a
sort of desperate defiant courage, as
a man would ask for bread In Rus
sian, if it were absolutely necestary.
It leaves the whole burden of mak
ing simple sense out of Bernstein's
simple sense on Barrymore's shoul
ders. He braces them and carries
the play.
"The Claw" is clever and has no
malice. It is destructive but fair.
There Is no ulterior motive to be
suspected in the case which Bern
stein builds up against a senile poli
tician, heaping public treason at
the feet of a beautiful prostitute as
richer men heap jewels. There is no
motive ulterior to the final catas
trophe of the play itself. All the de
moniac energy of the writer is con
centrated in a drive toward that ca
tastrophe. And, when Cortilon, the
premier of Frace a moral pulp
from the many fatal bludgeonings
Bernstein administers to him, stoops
to pick up his hat and falls dead
at the end of the play, you feel the
finish in every fiber.
He knocks Cortilon into a cocked
hat. Cortilon is his target. He, is not
aiming at French premiers in general.
He has built up a man and demolish
es him in a play. All his energies
are confined within the play. It was
easy for Bernstein to hit things in
"The Thief." He was aiming at a
whole class of women and had but to
shoot a barrel of buckshot in the gen
eral direction of anything dressed in
sables.
But Cortilon demands better aim.
He is an individual. There are no
others like him. From his broad
shoes to his gray hair he is woven
out of Bernstein's imagination. He
is flesh and blood, partly because
Bernstein's imagination is vivid but
mostly because he is not a facile
type. He is no more the type of a
French politician 'that Macbcth's the
type of a Scotch baron, no more to
be understood as an intimate por
trait ot sty, Premier Briand, than
King Lear is a revelation of George

Mary Boland Is
Taking a Turn in
Two-a-Day Sow
Vaulcville lias scored another tri
umph in bringing to its audiences
next week ' the very distinguished
Broadway star, Miss Mary Boland.
who will he seen in a tcnte playlet,
entitled, "For Five Thousand Dol
lars." Mit Boland's last success
was in "Clarence," which remained
for more than a year on Broadway.
Her starring successes in "My Lady's
Dress," at the playhouse, and "The
Case of Lady Camber," which was
produced by the Frohman company,
are remembered fileasantly yet on
Broadway. This will mark Miss Bo
land's first appearance in the two-a-das.
Thehcme of "Fcr Five Thousand
Dollars," in which she will rtar at
the Orpheum, is that a husband
never appreciates his wife's wits and
charm until he has lost her. In this
playlet Miss Boland is cast as a de
tective's wife. Her husband, Henry
Pcmberton, has been engaged by an
other woman to follow her husband,
who is infatuated' with another wom
an and she wants evidence of their
being together. The plot revelaed fs
absorbing and never lags in its in
terest It is most unusual in its
tteatment, and it serves to exploit the
rare and distinctive talents of this
beautiful star in a most engaging
manner. E. Barney Sherry of mo
tion picture fame, is cast for a good
part, and Miss Gertrude Fowler
plays "the other woman."
The baby daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. William Desmond was chris
tened the other day in Los Angeles,
