NEW YORK. Aug. 20. (Special.) Jh" Da'' Murphy, jack Raffael. H.

"Getting Gerties Garter." Mills. Charles Bunnell. Wilson Day,
which A 1 Wnod is now show-I i - i . . r . . n i .j t
w hi(: h Al. Woods is now show
ing at the Republic theater, is a
worthy box-office successor to
"Ladies' Xight," one of the outstand
ing hits of the past season.
Avery Hopwood and Wilson Culll-
son are responsible for "Gertie's Gar
ter," which is a fast moving farce of
the type productive of many laughs.
The story hinges around a garter
worn by "Gertie." which contains the
photo of a former suitor. The night
Gertie is to be married he comes to
the house to get the garter, fearing .
that his wtfe may find it, while the
wife is there conducting a little .flir-j
tation of her own. The ensuing com- 1
plications can be imagined by any- i
one familiar with fare comedies.
Hazel Dawn is Gertie, while Walter
Jones gets a good many laughs out
of his role of the fool butler who
is constantly bewildered by the antics
of the various members of the cast.
Adele Rolland is excellent as a pert
little French maid.
Others in the cast are Lorin Baker,
Dorothy Mackaye, Donald MacDonald,
Ivan Miller. Louis Kimball and Elea
nor Dawn.
Madame Lydia Llpkowska. the
young Russian prima donna, formerly
of the Metropolitan Opera company,
and more recently with the Chicago
opera, has been engaged by Henry
W. Savage for the title role of "The
Merry Widow." whose new production
will be offered at the Knickerbocker
theater on Labor day.
This will be Madame Lipkowska's
first experience in light opera. She
has been In grand opera since her
debut, at the age of 15, In "Rigoletto"
at the Imperial opera, Petrograd,
where she made a sensation and was
honored by the czar. The following
season the young singer was brought
to America by Director Russell of the
Boston Opera company, and for the
first ten years she has spent much
of her time in this country, though
she has also filed notable engage
ments in London, at Covent Garden,
in Milan at La Scala, in Paris, at both
the Opera Comique and Grand opera
house, and in Vienna at the Imperial
opera. It was in Vienna, at a charity
matinee, that Madame Lipkowska
sang "The Merry Widow" and was
heard by Franz Lehar. the composer,
who pronounced her the only and
ideal widow.
"Drifting." William A. Bradiy's new
production for Alice Brady, by John
Colton and D. H. Andrews, opened at
the Globe theater, Atlantic City on
Monday, August 8. The cast included
Charles Richman. Florence Auer
Mme. Marguerite Barry. Herbert Ash-
ton, Clarence Derwent, Margaret
Linden. Leward Meeker. Harry Red
ding, M. J. Rae and William Blais
dell. "Drifting" is a new kind of ldve
story. It has a novel angle. Two
derelicts, two bits of driftwood, meet
on the sea of life and their love is
the motif of the play. Most of the
settings are highly colorful. the
scenes being laid in China near the
Yellow sea.
"The Night Cap" opened at' the
Thirty-ninthstreet theater the week
Walter Horton and Ronald Colman.
c
Another new AVoods show is "The
Pink Slip," in which will appear Bert
Williams. Helen Bolton. Bobby Wat
son. Marion Ballou. Lois Josephine.
Frank Otto, John Cherry. Spencer
Charters, Eva Puck and Ned Burton.
Spencer Charters was the original
farm hand in the New York produc
tion of "The Tavern," and won great
notices for his effective rendition of
the expression, "What's all the shoot
in' for?"
"Ambush." by Arthur Richman, is
the latest Theater Guild production.
It will be directed by Robert Milton
and will probably be seen in New '
York in October.
Meantime the guild has two shows
in town. "Liliom" and "Mr. Pirn Passes
By." The latter ,show seems mis
named, for "Mr. Pirn" shows no signs
of "passing by" and apparently in
tends to remain with us for many
more weeks.
"Like a King," by John Hunter
Booth, who made the dramatization
of "The Masquerador," will soon start
rehearsals. Adolph Klauber is the
producer and the cast includes Robert
Homans, Edward Poland, Lucille
Tarker and Edward Duane.
"Tarzan of the Apes," a dramatiza
tion of the famous novel, will open
at the Broadhurst theater September
1. Rehearsals are now in progress.
Ronald Adair, an English actor, plays
Tarzan and others in the cast are
Edward Sillward, Pauline Prim, Al
fred Arno and Alice Mosley, also
from England.
"The Skylark" closed at the Bel
mont theater last week after a two
weeks' run. This play failed to catch
on for several reasons, the most po
tent of which probably was the hot
weather, which cut into the receipts
of some of the biggest money-makers
on Broadway. The show has a good
plot and if worked over might make
a "come-back."
PEACE PORTAL TO OPEN
Pacific Highway Gate a Border of
Canada Will Be Dedicated.
BLAINE, Wash., Aug. 20. Dedica
tion of a huge "peace portal." built
across the Pacific highway where it
crosses the boundary line between
Canada and the United States here,
will take place September 6.
The portal was built to commem
orate the century or .more of peace
between Canada and the United
States. The dedication will be at
tended by representatives of the
Canadian. French and American gov
ernments, as well as by hundreds of
lesidents of British Columbia and the
Pacific northwest.
The ceremonies also will includs

which leads nearly 2000 miles soo-th
from Vancouver. B. C, across Wash
ington, Oregon and California to Tia
Juana in Lower California.
The Pacific highway will be paved
Its entire length by 1925. it is ex-j
pected. making it the first trans
continental road in the nation to be
of August 15. The cast includes hard-surfaced every inch.
