V In addition to thos of th principal play
era, every name associated with "Watch
Your Step" la on that has been mada
llluatrlous by memorably successful
achievement In some particular avenue of
th entertainment field. As a producer
; Mr. Pllllneham has jrlvcn the atage a
score of musical comedy and operetta
triumphs; Harry B. Smith, who wrote th
book of "Watch Your Step." la probably
th best known of AmcrU-an librettists;
Helen Dryden, who desluned th aeenery
and costumes for the ploce, enjoy an
international reputation as art originator
of women's clothe fashions; Irvlna; Ber
lin, who Is responsible for the music and
lyrics. Is without queBtton the most popu
lar of modern aona; writnra hla produc
tions are played, suntf -and whistled- all
over th world. '
Attempt to tell the story of "Watch
Your Step" were a futile proceeding-. Th
piece haa three acta and seven scenes.
It begins and nda with some reference
to a plot. But while the story Is working
Its way to a satisfactory conclusion, Mrs.
Castle danoes, Prank Tlnney takes th
audience Into his confidence, Granville
king's and dances. Brlce and King- sing;,
Harry Kelly talks to his ridiculous doe
"Llxzle," and a hundred and one other
thing's calculated to amuse and enter
tain take place In such rapid aucceaalon
that every one Is perfectly well satisfied
to let the story work out its own salva
tion. John Drew, one of the most polished
and experienced light comedians on the
American stase. will come to the Brandelt
theater next Tuesday and Wednesday
with special matinee Wednesday, when he
will present a comedy of modern life
and manners laid In England, entitled
"Th Chief." Mr. Drew's qualities as an
actor are too well known to be dilated
upon at this late day. 'The Chief la th
work of Horace Annealey Vachell. long
known as, a writer of fiction, who alno
h turned til thoughta toward th stag
a year ago has had no less than four
plays successfully produced. The story
unfolded deals with the earl of Tester, an
rx-colonlal governor. The earl was In
love with a g-'rl named Cynthia. A Mrs.
Barg-tis, duilrtng the earl for her daugh
ter, separated the lovers and thus suc
ceeded In her plans. Ton years later when
th play opens the earl U a widower and
his household la under the rule of his
mother-in-law, who now plans to marry
the enrl to her remaining daughter. But
Cynthia, now an attractive widow, comes
upon :h seen to ask the earl to secure
for her a position. He Immediately takes
her into hi own household as his aitrre
tary. Ilia old love for her la reawakened
and Mrs. Barcus seeing this ODenlr ae-
