BT ELIZABETH liONERGATT. ,
NEW YORK, July 13. (Special.)
A surprise to out-of-town folks,
as well as to the native New
Yorker, la the large number of theaters
Tt-hlch are open at this season. Last
year the number was about half, but
the cool weather, as well as the crowds
of visitors, has made it profitable to
the managers.
One example Is "Getting Together,"
the war recruiting: production which
played a brief week earlier in the sea
son and then toured as far as St.
Louis, playlns to standing room only
11 along the route. Returning to New
York in June, when the majority of
chows close their runs, it has carried
the S. R. O. sign except on a very few
ElErhts.
The play is a -very strona: one, show
ing how the war is not only the means
if "getting together" many of the na
tions of the world, but how it also is
the means of "getting together" a
couple who have been estranged simply
because they had no interests in com
mon. The war provided the common
ground and the woman's efforts and
the man's bravery helped many others
before it made them again united.
Blanche Bates. In the leading role,
ias lost none of her old-time fire, and
Ker beautiful, slender figure is the
vy of many in the audience. Hol
brook Blinn plays the leading man's
rjle and his sincerity and fine acting
do much toward making the success
of the play. With others in these two
rales, the play would go on probably
without such great success. The pres
ence of two men who have figured in
ah war's history adds interest also.
fcusutenant tilts Rice, who sings his
own songs in the play, is one of seven
emrvivors of a regiment that left
Canada In 1014. He carried a little
trench piano with him and his pop
ular songs were sung in front-line
trenches to his accompaniment. "Keep
Your Head Down, Fritzle Boy," "You've
Oot to Go In or Go Under" and "We
Stopped Them at the Marne" are three
of his numbers which, are more or less
known over here.
Grace George (Mrs. William A.
Srady), has been the prime mover in
si plan to provide entertainment for
the soldiers and sailors. Each man
ager is asked to provide one evening's
entertainment for the men. Although
Punday shows are against the law in
New York, the authorities have co
operated and a number of perform
ances have already been given on Sun
day evening.
"Polly With a Past" was given by
Mr. Belasco, "Parlor Bedroom and
Bath" through the courtesy of Mr.
Woods, and "Getting Together" will
shortly be seen. Miss George is so
busy in this work for others that she
has made absolutely no plans for next
season. It Is to be hoped that she will
Hot disappoint her many admirers.
A number of the principals ef the
"Western" are playing In New ork.
while Peggy Wood, Charles Purcell,
William Norris and 'others are taking
vacation after a year of playing
these same roles. Among these are
John T. Murray, well known in Port
land, Carolyn Thompson and John
Charles Thomas, who created the chief
role in "Her Soldier Boy."
a
Fay Bainter, In "The Klas Burglar,"
seems destined, to stay a long time in
town. It is a pretty little story telling i
of a dashing American who had an ad
venture which he has never forgotten.
The memory of it haunts him because
there is a beautiful unknown lady and
a stolen kiss connected with it. The
young lady comes to America and they
meet again and the stolen kiss becomes
a bond between them. Not a very deep
plot but the little lady's personality
gets it over.
Miss Bainter has several dances and
one with Cyril Chadwlck, "I Want to
Dance," is Very catchy. Her dancing
and singing continues to puzsle Broad
way theater-goers who had associated
her only with straight dramatic roles,
such as in "Arms and, the Girl" and
"The Willow Tree."

It's really about time authors, play

Majestio Theater photoplay headllner
contains a few ef these objectionable
Britons and there's no gainsaying that
their weakness serves to accentuate
the strength, virility and manliness of
the American hero of the story.
"True Blue" deals with the red

doesn't digress greatly from standard

charm, plus her dancing, an art which
made her famous a your or two ago
with Ziegfeid's Follies, are features of
Her Body in Bond," a hectic-titled
photoplay at the Star Theater.
Tha producers have apparently made

this. The picture Is suggestively la
beled, apparently as a lure for the over
imaginative, but it is really better en
tertainment than the titla would lead
one to expect.
Kenneth Harlan, Paul Welgel and Al

in this tale of domestio entanglement.

much of stage poise and had also de
veloped a strong, though sweet-toned,
mellow voice.
After little Clara had made her first
successful "break" into the business
the management began to find many
small dramatic parts for her. These
parts ranged anywhere from one line
of the character. "My Lord, the car
riage awaits!" to really creditable
child-ingenue roles.
After a short experience with the
Holden company Clara was left with
relatives at Benton Harbor, Mich., to
go to school. She attended the Ben

later became a student at St. Xavier's,
