Jean Murdoch, an auburn-haired
youixg actress whom Daniel Froliman
discovered tat a Chicago manicure shop
some months ago and elevated to lead
ing lady honors on the road, will make
her first New Tork appearance next
Monday afternoon at the Palace The
ater, aa the featured member of a spe
cial cast presenting "Blackbirds." a
sketch of crook life by &arry James
Smith, author ot "Mrs. Bumpstead
Leigh." played by Mrs. Fiske.
Miss Murdoch waa the manicure girl
at the Blackstona Hotel. In Chicago a
year ago. Daniel Frohman dropped In
one afternoon to have his nails
trimmed. Miss Murdoch seized this op
portunity to explain her atage ambi
tions, and the manager consented to
glv her a trial. Miss Murdoch satis
fied hlra that she could act, and he
promptly engaged her aa a member
of Charles Cherry's company. She has
played on tour all this season, so that
much Interest la attached to ber first
New Tork engagement at the Palace
Monday afternoon.
Elizabeth Roes, of the Baker players,
asserts that the average brunette has
a more equable disposition than her
fairer haired sisters. Sse says she
things brunettes invariably possess a
greater supply of sound common sense
than the more capricious blonde. (Note
Miss Ross Is a brunette, with eyes
of the soft melting brown sort.) "It
Is really remarkable." ahe points out.
"how many of the successful stars of
our stage are dark haired, the blonde
actress being an almost negllgble
quantity. Of course. I mean the natural
ones, not the self-made blondes which
abound and flourish in musical com
edy." Pressed for statistics Misa Ross
produced this: "With few exceptions,
practically no blondes have attained
success behind the footlights. Blllle
Burke, Lillian Russell and Mrs. Leslie
Carter are tbe most prominent excep
tions. "On the other band, the list of suc
cessful brunettes la almost endless. We
have Maude Adams, Ethel Barrymore,
Maxine Elliott. Mary Mannertng,
Blanche Bates. Eleanor Robson, Mar
garet Wycherly. Frances Starr. Julia
Marlowe, Helen Ware. Margaret Angltn,
Edith Wynne Matthleon. Dorothy Don
nelly. Gertrude Elliott, Mrs. Patrick
Campbell. Julia Opp. Blanche King,
Laura Guerite, Flors Zabelle, Blanche
Walsh. Bertha Kallloh, Eugenia Biair;
In fact, one might go on for an hour
enumerating dark-haired beautlea wbo

world. It Is also worthy of note that
most of the grand opera sang birds are
of the most pronounced broneCe type."

Thanhouser Kldlet, cleverly portrays a
dual role of a lost son and of the im
postor. This Is the first time in motion
picture history that a child haa taken
such an extensive and Intricate part in
any picture. The character of a young
boy injured by an automobile and
picked up by strangers Is cleverly done
by Miss Cllne. as Is also the part of
the son of a scheming adventuress,
who. upon reading the advertisement
of the father for his lost son. deter
mines to place ber own child In the
borne of comfort, aa the loot boy. The
final scene, which Is unusually strong,
tells tbe story of how the real son
finds his wsy home again. Tbe comedy
on the programme entitled "The Dog
In the Baggage Car" is one of the best
offered for weeks.
Tbe programme at the Arcade Thea
ter Is replete with novelties, the fea
ture being "The Message In a Cocoa
nut." or a "Modern Robinson Crusoe."
The plot of this play la thrilling, tell
ing how a young naval officer was
shanghaied by a Jealous rival and
wrecked at sea; how he la finally
thrown on a desert Island and later be
comes king of the cannibals. "For the
Love of Columbian" Is a dramatic rep
resentation of the love of a popular
young actrees for a millionaire, and
wbo, through her susceptibility to flat
tery, causes ber husband to doubt ber.
Tbe ballroom scene. In which the bus
band denouncea her. Is most gorgeous.
She returns to ber stage life, a wiser
and sadder woman. The finale, sbow
Jng the reunion of husband and wife
through the efforts of Plrot. an actor,
who secretly loves Columbian, gives a
ouch of pathos to a happy climax.
Two delightful Keystone comedies,
"Hide and Seek" and "The Land Sales
man." contain a number of hearty
laughs. The Land Salesman, featuring
Fred Mace in a get-rich-qulck scheme.
Is especially mirthful.
"The Web." one of the most remark
able dramas ever released. Is the
beadllner at the Star Theater, begin
ning Sunday. It may well be called
a "Vltagraph Masterpiece." Telling In
most graphic terms of brotherly love
and bow the web of a designing wo
maa was finally broken and her vic
tim released. One will follow the ac

which has been duplicated In every
city In which this comedian baa been
presented.
Mr. Buckler's role is that of an in-
cllned-to-be-selflsh, child-hating bach
elor, not at all bad at heart, but a man
whose mode of living has made him a
faddist In his dislike for children. It
Is stated that the part allows him the

there is also opportunity for the come
