"Tho ZiegfeW Follies 1915" la
now on view at the New Axnster
dam Theater. Altogether the new r
vue la entertaining In a familiar way
and compelling in a new and beautiful
way.
xnero aro someiniBf nice 20 scenes
in tne production and. taken as
whole, they represent the most beauti-
iui series of stage pictures ever seen
In a musical comedy production here.
Joseph Urban, the Viennese painter.
is tne artist whose genius has found
expresssion in this extraordinary man
ner. Mr. Urban may have surpassed
xnis worn in productions for grand op
era and there were scenes in "The Gar
den of Paradise" that had more dig
nity, perhaps, but for a Summer show
"Zlegfeld Follies" easily takes first
rank as a scenic production. There la a
wonderful scene under the sea, a rare
and highly Imaginative Home of the
bun. a silver forest, a gorgeous view
of the Catskills and a special em
blematic setting for a display of inter
national flags and costumes that made
the first act one of regal splendor In a
pictorial sense.
Pretty girls one expects as a matter
of course in the Folllrs, but- this year
they are more plquantly, more daz
slingly set oft than ever -before. No
matter how manv pretty girls are
brought together, they pall most surely
If not properly set off. and they have
certainly been displayed not only taste
fully, but brilliantly.
The costumes are designed with ad
mirable harmony. - They have not
alone originality,- but good taste. The
whole thing Is a clverly designed back
ground for the pulchritude on view. -
Seven men share the credit for the
production of the revue, exclusive of
Mr. Urban. It was staged by Leon
Erroll and Julian Mitchell, the lines
and lyrics are by Channing Pollock,
.Renr.old Wolf and Gene Buck, the
music by Louis Uirscb. and Xavid
H tamper.
Thrte numbers which were received
with great. favor by the audience were
the "Radium Girl." "Hello, Frisco,"
cleverly, done by Bernard Granville and
Ina Claire, and a. most amusing "blen
sale" travesty on "Marie Odlle." also
sung by- Ina Claire. Bert Williams is
Introduced in a burlesque of "Androcles
and the Lion." which set the whole
house laughing, while Ed Wynn bur
lesqued the midnight cabaret to good
effect. ,
Good dancing Is always expected of
he "Follies" productions and the 1915
show does not fall below the standard
set by Its predecessors. Mae Murray
and Leon Errol, little Anna Pennington.
George White and Lucille Cavanaugh
danced cleverly.
The finale was an elaborate ensem
ble introducing all the rulers of the
world. Including the Kaiser, who was
hissed and applauded In about equal
proportions.
The Dillingham offices are the most
crowded in town these days. Every
one from chorus folks to men of dis
tinction who desire Important connec
tions with thenew Hippodrome or
ganization are calling at the offices.
The management is firm about one
point. Absolutely no information
about anything for several weeks.
There win then be announced full par
ticulars about the staff, opening pro
duction, cast and many other impor
tant details which are puzzling the
curious ones Just now. Downstairs
In the Globe Theater "Chin Chin." with
Montgomery and Stone, are this week
completing their 38th successive occu
pancy. Some record! But the lnlmita.
bio pair could play 38 weeks anywhere
In anything say their admirers but
anyway it's a mighty tuneful and de
lightful offering. -
Another house of mystery Is the
Rialtoa few blocks south of the Globe
theater. Formerly known as Ham
merstein's victoria. It is undergoing
many changes to fit Its new name. A
row. of -.stores will occupy a portion
of the well-known lobby of former days
and the auditorium and stage greatly
enlarged. This has been spoken ot be
fore. .
Just now the excitement Tevolves
about the probable appointees. Alfred
Robyn, the composer, was announced
as one of the newcomers and a num
ber of prominent men in the theatrical
game have boen suggested as house
managers. The director in chief, of
course, is S. L. Rothapfel. wl.o occupied
a similar position with the Strand The
ater and whose title has been "the
Belasco of Moving Pictures." Under
his able supervision many novelties sre
expected, but plans are being kept
quiet. 1
Five new plays will be produced by
Manager A. H. Woods and the casts
have already been secured.
"Potash and Perlmutter in Society"
will open In New York September 27.
"Common Clay." the Harvard prize
play, by Cleves Kinkead, will open in
New York August 18, with John Ma
son. Jane Cowl and an exceptionally
fine cast. This play recently com
pleted a 20 weeks' engagement at the
Castle Square Garden, Boston. The
other plays are "The New Shylock."
by Herman Scheffauer. with Louis Cal
vert; "Cousin Lucy." Charles Klein's
last play, and "See My Lawyer," by
Max Marcin. all of which will have
their New York premiere fh August
and September.
"Nobody Home." the delightful mu
sical comedy, does not live up to Its
title, for three signs announce the fact
that nobobdy is home at the Maxlne El
liott Theater. At the corner of Thirty
ninth street and Broadway a huge elec
tric . announcement points down the
street. A short distance east another
flaming sign outside the Princess The
ater Indicates that across the street Is
the Elliott Theater, where "Nobody
Home" can be found, but why la It
necessary to have a third sign on the
Maxine Elliott Theater?
Speaking of stunning gowns. Rat
Eelwyn. who is to have a leading part
In her brother's play. "Rolling Stones,"
which opens August It, is known as the
best-dresssed woman on the stage. As
a young society girl In "Under Cover"
her dresses were the envy end admira
tion of all the women in the audience.
"The Bubble" is another misnomer.
So light and alrr a title should have
blown Itself away long age. Instead ot
soaring all Summer at the Booth The
ater, with Louis Mann In the lead, and
'djoj&jn m- 'V,"
how about "It "Pays to Advertise?"
This title could not have been better
chosen. It advertises everything from
pins to mental science and the au
diences pack the house at every per
formance. Marjory Wood. as the
clever little schemer in this play, shares
the honors of the production with her
capable associates. Her
particularly stunning.
Laurette Taylor, who enjoyed a suc
cessful season In Ensland in "Peg o'
My Heart," by J. Hartley Manners (her
husband), is to be seen In a new play
by Mr. Manners, called "Happiness."
"Peg 'o My Heart" won a high place
with American theater-goers, due In
great measure to Miss Taylor's clever
portrayal of the attractive little Irish
girl, so the new offering will have to
be of a very high standard Instead to
attempt to displace "Peg" from our
memories.
ITALIANS ADD TEARS TO
GRIEF . STRICKEN PARIS
Rome Government' Entry in "War Takes 10,000 Men. Many Leaving Fami
lies, From French Capital.
BT KCBY FUST HUGHES.
PARIS. June IS. (Special corre
spondence.) It was late Sunday
afternoon. On the Avenue des
Champs-Elysees, the people of Paris
were promenading. Under the rows
and rows of trees on either side
people were sitting on the benches
or on the little Iron chairs
drawn Into groups, or sometimes
there was a young woman In deep
mourning alone or accompanied by her
aged father or his father. Little chil
dren played In the sand, building
houses that melted away like the
grown-up's Illusions; Breton nurses tn
stiff lace caps and big black silk
aprons Joggled the baby carriages,
while the tiny mites inside, muffled In
lace, slept.
Sometimes it was a rosy-cheeked
maid with a new bat and her best
Sunday dress and a bunch of real
flowers in her belt, who smiled up Into
the face of her soldier who bad leave
for 48 hours. They don't -wear gloves
and clasp each other's hands tightly.
Sometimes they kiss, right there In the
street.
I always am pleased when I see
these natural young things. They, are
true and there Is no harm, for there
is nothing to cause shame. Then there
are the poor little street-wanderers
who give their bodies to gain their
daily bread and silk stockings. Their
skirts are very short, their hats are
very tilted, their shoes are very high
heeled, their lips are very redt They
are so poor, these little street-women
of Paris, this year. I love them. I pity
them, for they are women, they have
hearts and they suffer.
Then everywhere there are soldiers.
All the woundell There are doiens of
hospitals In this quartler from which
they ca leave their cots and come out
into the air and sunshine. The sight
of women and children, trees and
1 lowers. -the moving throng make them
forget the horrors that they have been
through.
On the avenue there was a continual
stream of conveyances coming and go
ing. Rich limousines with pretty wom
en and silk-hatted men Inside and lit
tle dogs on their hind legs looking out
of the windows, one with a stiff blue
bow on his collar and Silver bells that
Jingled when he barked.
Swiftly passing was an auto-ambulance
containing a dozen wounded
men. It was covered with khaki-colored
tenting and bore In a big white
circle a red cross; often they are
marked A. A. American Ambulance.
We have 450 beds and they are all full,
for the battles have been bloody. Then
there are autos filled with officers and
auto-trucks, you don't know what la
Inside, for they are covered" with tent
ing and then fiacres drawn by one
horse driven by a'blg fat coacher with
a red face and a plug bat of white
oil cloth; and the taxis going and com
ing from the Bols. little carts drawn
by Shetland ponies but always more
ambulances and more wounded.
Italy's Entry Gives Hepea.
There was a tremor that ran through
the crowd Just as a sudden gust of
wind before a storm agitates the
leaves. Everyone rose to their feet and
strained to see. It was a large auto
mobile racing up the avenue decorated
with two flags, the French and the
Italian that floated and trembled In
Its awlftneaa. Italy had declared warl
She had Joined herself to the allies.
The French people on every side with
hope In tnelr volets, cried "Teat
mieux!" I stood still. It made me
cold. I said to my companion. "Does
It mean more killing, or leaaT"
The next afternoon X went br sub
way to the Gars de Lyon to see a part
of the 10.000 Italian mobilised soldiers
that work tn Paris leave for Italy. I
went Into the station among them.
There were many flags and many chil
dren and women. People tried to sing.
The rich, mellow Italian voices were
c coked wtlh sobs. Then one would
laugh and one would about; one, wide
eyed and dry-Ilpped. would fold his
arms In stoio dignity and one would
sing again. There are so many dif
ferent ways of showing the same emo
tion. I saw in 1911 the Bulgarians, the
Serbians and the Greeks leave for war:
In 1914 I saw the Swiss soldiers depart
for the frontier, stole end determined.
I have seen many French soldiers leave
for the battlefield. stern. flower
crowned, but never were any so emo
tional as the Italians who left Paris.
Perhaps It is because we have had ten
months ot war and the terrible realities
are nearer borne.
Kaamlly Is Bnkra.
There came Into the station a whole
family, tlirvco women an old man and
a little boy. accompanying a young
man who was leaving with his com
rades. The women cried, the old man
and the little boy cried also. The
young man was pale, but controlled
himself. When the hour sounded for
the departure be kissed them all many
times on both cheeks, lie wanted to
talk to them, but there are moments
when one cannot speak, when there Is
a hard lump In the throat and one has
to eet his teeth. Ho got Into the coach.
The train did not start. The women
sobbed in alienee. The young man
Jumped down from the car and kissed
them all again many times on both
cheeks but he could not speak.
Then the train moved slowly oat of
the station. Little children on their
mothers' shoulders stretched out their
arms screaming, "papa, papa!" Women
cried, and strong men laid their heads
upon their arms and sobbed. Tears ran
down the cheeks, of the atattonmaeter.
who stood by my aide.
Paris IU to KiflUk.
Just outalde the station I met four
Enklirh officers that I know. They
said. "Oh come along and have some
tea." I felt like some kind of a bracer
sure enough. We went Into the lobby
of their hotel. The English soldiers
are not allowed to sit at the tables on
th,o sidewalks In front of the cafes.
We found four more of their soldier
friends. All eight had Just come over
from London and were leaving that
BUht for Marseilles and then to
wherever Kitchener or God sent them.
One cavalry officer, smaller than the
others they were s.11 such big men
clicking his spurs and looking thought
ful, t-sld :"But I say. do tell me. are all
theoe widowa one sees In I'arls wldowa?
Because If they are there are ao men
left In France."
Women In France wear deep mourn
ing for every member of the family
who dies. These men told me that
there was a terrible difference between
the atmosphere of London and Paris.
"Paris was abominably dull and sad."
Yes. but one must realise that Paris Is
but two hours by auto from the moat
ghastly battlefield that the world has
ever known, and that for ten month a,
every day and every hour, Paris feels
and sees such terrible things.
They were much Interested In the at
titude that the United States had
taken and would take, and seemed to
feel that eventually we would be drawn
Into the maelstrom.
We went over to the railroad office
to find out about the trains for Mar
aaillea. They could not one of them
peak French, and the station agent
couldn't speak Engliah!

most cut off. Mr. Gronto says that pie
