Showing that there are tans and fans and fans A Tennessee girl writes to Frank Lloyd, who plays the part of the dar1 playing the poorly-clad part of an Eiig lish slavey is now' one of tho sensa turns of Broadway. For 13 years Maude Eburne was a chnructer actress in stock companies. She appeared once before in New York, but no one remembers the occasion, and Miss Eburne went back to stock. I.af-t summer she was i.th a company in Rochester, New York. It was there that "A Pair of Sixes" was tried out. Miss Eburne came to New York with the company, having secured the part of "Coddles," the English slavev. Then from obscurity in stock she flushed across as a Broadway sensntion, came a part of the business of the play entirely by accident. During a rehearsal, Parsons in a spirit of fun, interpolated the line, "Coddles, take my advice and alwsys remain a maiden." She laughingly asked that he repeat the line, then bump his rose against the scenery and she would do a fall. This was carried out and the line and the fall were im mediately ordered retained as a regular part of tho scene. Miss Eburne was nut confident of the success of her fall, the had gotten laughs by falls in "stock" but she feared Broadway. Now her only fear is that she will break every bone in her body as she kor plunks each night. She was the most surprised person in tho theater at the first performance of "A Pair of Sixees" w hen shrieks of laughter greet ed her collapse at the line spoken by Parsons. The followers of John Drew nnd Ethel Bnrrymoro are louking straight through April and on into May when these two stars are to appear together in Sardou's "A Scrnp of Paper." This combination effected by Charles Froliuinn will bring the representatives of theso two noted thentrical is; mi lies together for the first timo since 1S9-1. Miss Bnrryraore then made her debut with Cndo John in "Tho Bauble Shop. " Billie Burko in pink pajamas! In "Jerry" the new comedy in which Miss Burko opened two weeks ngo nt the Lyceum, she appears in just that or possibly them. "Jerry" has- not any great cause for its being, but it does give Miss Burko a chance to ap pear just as tho Burkeites apparently wunt her as Billio Burke. The pa jamas arrivo in the Inst act, which Miss Burko plnvs in bed. Just why she should wear high-heeled slippers in bed is not explained. But "Jerry" is not weighted down with nn wt a A L. fc.

Special Engagement MAD U1E I1EGG1E The Famous Soprano BIBLICAL STORY IS GREAT PICTURE FILM The story of Samson is the story of the strongest man who ever lived. His nanio today is known to almost every man, woman and child throughout the civilized world, and even to tho?e who lo not know his story, is a svnonvni sf strength. But besides that, tho thrill mg story of tho life of this man, to whom God cave power and strenulii such as no man possessed, and to whoi.i Mo gave "carte bluncho" in righting his wrongs, is the most spectacular, ro niantic and tragic of any of the heroes of antiquity. The film representation which the I'niverful has evolved from the historv of Samson, and told in six wonderful reels, follows tho account in the Book of Judges, with startling accuracy .Nothing is left out. The film shows very angry. Ho --asts off his wife,, sets fire to the fields of tho Philistines, and killing thirty men of Askelon, hi disdainfully pays his wnger to the I'hil istines. Then he retires to a cave, whence he is sought out by an armv of the Philistines who have determined to kill him at all costs. But Samoti tluys a thoiif.ind of them with the juw 00110 of an ass, and puts tho rest to flight. I-ater they try to imprison him in the city of Gn.a, but be carries otf the gates of tho lity. Now Samson meets Delilah who, at tho instigation of Silion, tho ruler of tho Philistines, entices from him tho secret of his great strength, slicnrs hi bend and delivers him to the soldier, who put out his eyes, and after beat ing him almost to death, put him to 'rtp-k-, -'-rvT;-J":" y A l ju ' h "h& & i Hi' " ; ; .WARUEr ICERRIQAN " SAMSOrs-JmVeM Sptcitl fat (ho anxiety of Samson's parents for uw son, the prophecy of his birth and tre-j inemluiis ttreiiL'tli so long ns he re innined unshaven.
