Columbia beginning today. "The Call
: of Her People" Is an exemplification
of the theory that the call of race Is
more potent than wealth and luxury.
The play, as depicted by Miss Barry
. snore and a superb supporting- cast. Is
. rch In merit, to a degree, figuratively
(peaking, that is almost lavish,
v The story concerns Egypt, the most
"beautiful woman in a tribe of gypsies.
Before the story begins. It Is depicted
that the daughter of Faro Black, the
. gypsy leader, has married Gordon
'Lindsay, a wealthy resident of a town
which the batid was passing through.
The young wife could not endure
; the stifling ways of civilization and
after the birth of her baby, returned
to her father's camp to die. Faro
Black blames Lindsay for this and
conceives an Intense hatred for him.
BeglnninK the story itself, Egypt
and young Black. Faro Blatk's son, are
in love. Faro Black, however, has con
; Cetved a unique revenge for Lindsay,
. 'Which consists in palming off the
- gypsy girl on him as his daug-hter.
' Bo Faro Black refuses his consent to
the marriage. The young people dis
obey him and are just about married
when the old man intervenes and stops
the ceremony, binding Young Faro and
ending Egypt tp Lindsay.
Nicholas Van Kleet, friend of Lind
say, falls in love with the beautiful
' girl and as time rolis on and Young
Faro, who has been kept prisoner,
falls to com and rescue her, Egypt
comes to believe he has given her up.
Then she accepts Van Kleefs proffer
of marriage.
Before they are married, Faro Black
dies and Young Faro, now chief, is
liberated. He comes back to the town
- where Egypt is. but before tie sees her
kills a man In a quarrel. He flees to
-. Lindsay's noun, taking refuge in
Egypt's-apartments. There he Is caught
by Van Klaet. who, when he learns
who the man is. offers Egypt her

Farnum In the stellar role of Arm
strong, la George Ohnet's famous book
and play entitled "The Ironmaster"
or as originally played by Jacques
Eternal a, Madame Bernhardt's husband.
"L Maltre do Forges." An estimate
of character of the play Is that Ohnet
-' during the first few months of its
existence cleared In royalties off the
book $60,000 and off the play 115,000.
The story is a drama, but it is en
livened throughout, to a great extent
by Moullnet, a newly rich candy manu
facturer. . William Armstrong, the otory tells,
Is a rich American of French extrac-
tion whose sole aim In life is to make
his sister Betty happy. They Inherit
' a property In France which they find
to be an abandoned Iron mine and

American methods and to rehabilitate
the plant and make It a producing
property again. This Incenses the
gentry of the neighborhood, the fore
.most of whom are the Marquise de
Beau lieu, her son the marquis and her
daughter, Claire. Claire is bethrothed
to the Duo de Bllgny, whom ehe has
loved from childhood,
One of the aristocrats of the neigh

to a challenge.
In the meantime, however, Claire la

as good es his "Habit of Happiness,"
"Reggie Mixes In" or that comedy par
excellence "Manhattan Madness,'' will
continue the attraction at the People's
, theatre the forepart of this week.
In addition to being a rattling .good
comedy, "In Again, Out Again" is one
of the keenest satires. In a mild fash.
: Ion, on a .pacifism that could be Im
agined.
The main Idea of the play, of course,
.is Teddy Rutherford's desperate ef
forts to get back Into the same Jail
where he has fallen in love with the
sheriffs daughter. Running right
along with this is the mild "Joshing"

burlesques the frequent search for
the ring which has become bo common
as to be almost a by-word. "Bull" pulls
from his pockets a blackjack, a Jimmy
and a revolver before finally discov

ring. His facial expression is perfec

QTAR. "Annle-for-Spite." inn whJcfl
the fascinating little Mary Miles
Minter is stirred beginning today at
the Star, Is one of the bits of picture
construction achieved by James Kirk
wood, Miss Minter's director.
The play was built from a story by
Fred Jackson which appeared in the
Popular magazine a year ago. "Annie-for-Spite"
is an orphan whose meager
living, derived from work in the base
ment of a department etore. Is supple
mented by board and room for her
services in looking after the small chil
dren of her landlady. Mrs. Cadogan.
In the evenings.
The dream of Annie's life Is that
some time a rich lady will adopt her
and that she will live in a marble
palace, drive in big motor cars and
wear beautiful clothes. Annie's dream
comes true through the hatred for her
scheming relatives of Mrs. John Grand
Nottingham, who adopts Annie "for
spite."
Emily, the old lady's daughter, th
chief schemer for possession of Mrs.
Nottingham's millions, 'has a son
named Wlllard, a manly young fellow
who falls in love with Annie.
When Mrs. Nottingham dies, leaving
her millions to Annie for spite, the
relatives contest the will and succeed
in breaking it, but Wlllard marries
Annie and they are very happy.
Th play is one of the best that has
ever been provided for Miss Minter.
In it "Lovely Mary" is at her very
prettiest and most captivating.
The Star will, as its comedy feature,
repeat Charlie Chaplin's great comedy,
"The Cure," which made a colossal
hit at this theatre a few weeks ago.
In this play Chaplain arrives at a

full of liquor which he pours into the
mineral springs. The results on the
other patients at the sanitarium are
omething remarkable as naturally
would be expected.
SUNSET. ClaraKlmball Young will
be seen In a thoroughly entertain
ing pictureplay entitled "The Badge of
Shame" at the Sunset beginning today.
This picture has been filmed from the
stage Play bearing the title of "The

Young one of th most scintillating
roles of her career. She portrays the
character of a beautiful young Russian
Jewess who is forced to secure the

Amateur Dramatists
Enough Time
The number of aspirants who are !
successful scenario writers, even after
years of efforts, is so slight as to be
almost imperceptible in contrast to the
thousands of failures. And yet the mo
tion picture producers are hungry for
photoplay material! Why ls It that
they cannot meet upon some common
ground and convert this mire of fail
ure into success? There la the demand
why can It not be supplied?
That ls a question that ls puzzling
every one of these unfortunates who
has had his script returned as being
unavailable, for any one of a hundred
reasons. That is th question which
William C. De Mille, the playwright'
and photoplay authority, discusses in
the following paragraphs. Mr. D
Mill was an extremely successful
playwright, having written, among
other plays, "Strongheart," "The War
rens of Virginia," and "The Woman."
before h turned his attention to the
photoplay business.
According to Mr. De Mille, the be
setting sin of the amateur author 1?
his failure -to appreciate his own short
comings. His favorite slogan ls that
he 1b Just as good a writer as some
one else who has proved success fu1,
but that the other fellow has Influ
ence. If the time that is spent in this
sort of philippic against th success
ful author were spent by the aspirants
In cultivating an impersonal and criti
cal attitude toward their own effort
with, the sincere purpose of self -improvement,
Mr. D Mille believes that
the percentage of successes would at
least be visible to the naked eye,
whereas It Is imperceptible today.

a letter home, "It takes on of our
trained staff writers from four to
eight weeks to prepare a story for
the screen. Inexperienced writers think
they can turn them off at the rate oi

Mr. De Mille.
"We encourage scenario writing a

NEW YORK, May 19. The main, and
practically the only, event of espe
cial importance this week in metropol
itan theatricals was the presentation
last Monday of thre new plays of J.
M. Barrie'i by the Charles Frohman
company. This program, under the
V title, "An Evening With Barrte," con
sisted of "The New vvora. jiu
Friends" and "The Old Lady Shows
Her Medals."
For each of the plays a special cast
was selected. The performance began
with "The New Word," a comedy in
one act. In which Norman Trevor,
Gareth Hughes, Winifred Vraser and
Betty Daintry appeared. Next came
"Old Friends," a one act drama, with
Lyn Harding, Eileen Huban. Gertrude
Berkeley and H, Ashton Tonse in the
cast. This was followed by "The Old
Lady Shows Her Medals," the latest
piece Barrie has written for the the
atre which he calls "a 'salute in one
act," and in which Beryl Mercer. John
M. McFarlane, Lillian Brennard, Clara
T. Bracy, Alice Esden and Theodor von
Eltz were seen. The plays were pro
duced under the stage direction of B.
Iden Payne.
Additional lmoortance was given to
the production by the fact that all the
profits derived from the run of the
plays at the Empire will be donated to
the stage women's war relief
This week was the last for "Dance
snd Grow Thin," in the Oocoanut
Grove. The determination of Messrs.
Dillinirham and Zlegfeld to establish
a new time schedule for the operation
of the popular Century roof resort
during the summer months compelled
a suspension of public activities there
after tonight. When plans for the
extension of the restaurant facilities
have been carried out, preparations for
an altogether new theatrical entertain
ment will have been completed also.
and the Grove will reopen, not as an
after-the-theatre resort, but as a roof
theatro and dinner and dance rendez
vous. It will be opened at 7 o'clock.
The theatrical performance will begin
at 9 o'clock, and continue until mid
night. Public dancing will be per
mitted before and after the show and
during the Intermissions.
Sunday night the Neighborhood
players presented at the Neighborhood
playhouse the last bill of their season.
This included a one act comedy by
Susan Glaspell, entitled "The People."
This play was originally produced by
the Provincetown players, and two
members of their company Joined the
Neighborhood players for the purpose
of playing their original parts.
A brand new twist was given to the
presentation of burlesque in the pro
duction at the Columbia, theatre this
week by "The Maids of America" in a
two act travesty, called 'The Girl
From Nowhere." A coherent story of
sustained interest develops many
scenes and incidents that art novel and
amusing. The story tells of the ad
ventures of Ia Tita. who comes to
earth from her home In the clouds and
brings the east wind and the west
wind, to which she has given human
form, and to whose activities, under
control of La Tita, all sorts of per
plexities and embarrassments are pro
jected into daily life of terrestrial
inhabitants. The principals in the cast
are Al K. Hall, Bobby Barrv, Harvey
Brooks. Joseph Weston, Clarence Jen
nings, Joseph Hynan. Annette Keller
mann, Frltxl Scheff, Eva'Tanguay, Leo
Carillo. Belle Storey, Carl Jam, Will
Rogers, Leon Errol, Andress De Segu
rala, Gus Edwards, Jack Norworth,
Luboska, Alex Greig, Herbert Cothrell;
Lucille Lee Stewart, Frank Tenny and
Reisnweber's Jam band.
The revival of "Get-Rlch-Qulck Wal-
lingford" serves no especial purpose
except to bring back again Hale Ham
ilton and Edward Ellis, the original
Wallihgford. and th original Blackie
Daw. This ls really an excuse, how
ever, and justifies th revival.

BAKER. Back again. It has been
something like, rive years since the
famous comedy, "Charley's Aunt." was
last seen In this city, and it is Just
about due. For that reason, and part
ly because playgoers are showing un
mistakable preference for laughing
bills, the Alcazar players will offer
"Charley's Aunt" for the week, start
ing this afternoon at the Baker.
Charles Corr.pton, th popular young
juvenil of the company, will appear
as Babberley, the college boy. whom
his mends coerce into masquerading
as a genial elderly aunt in order to
further their love affairs.
The story is familiar to most theatre
goers, and win not need to be re
hearsed her. Suffice to say the plot
ls clean and wholesome, with Just a
little touch of sentiment In the person
of the orphan girl, 131a Delahay. Out
side or this the play is, simply a riot
of laughs, running around th love
affairs of these two college scape
graces, serious enough to them to
bring forth no scruples about making
a real "goaf of poor little Babberley
regardless of everything' else.
The appearance of the real aunt only
adds to the mixups, which, of course,
end happily for everyone. Matinees
will be given also Wednesday and
Saturday and Tuesday night the Ad
club has taken over the house in the
Interest of their convention fund.
LYRIC. "The Cabaret Girls" ls a
Juicy bundle of mirth and music,
garnished with pretty girls, will be
the offering of the I.yric Musical Stock
company for the week beginning this
afternoon. Like all Lyric shows it
depends upon its broad comedy situ
ations and mirthful miisic to enter
tain, leaving no particular worries
about the plot.
The scene is In a Paris cafe, how
ever, and tells something about a cele
brated vampire woman named Ohi
quita, and her dangerous affairs among
the American tourists. There Is a
little melodramatic ting to it when
tne old proprietor discovers his long
lost son through means of a peculiar
emblem.
Harry Bernard and Bddie Iale. the
two comics, have two great roles In
the Irish and blackface, while all the
others Including beautiful Phyllis Gor
don, the new prima donna, will also
appear in special song hits enhanced
by the capable Lyric chorus of pretty.
