Another busy aod lnterestftg theatrical week began Sunday, Sept. 20, with tbc ar- rival of "Gct-Hlch-Qulck Walllngford," at Mc- Vlcker's. Business In the legitimate theatres, with attractions of merit, his been very good. The public seems to be quick in determining which Is best, and the withdrawal of three attractions from prominent Loop theatres In- dicates a willingness on the part of the man- agora to yield to that opinion without at- tempting to force unprofitable runs. To- night "The Blue Bird" was disclosed at tbc Lyric, while Richard Carle and Hattle Will- lams presented "The Girl from Montmartre," and ,r A Slice of Life" at the Chicago Opera House. The hew Fine Arts Theatre began operations, and the new. Victoria was dedi- cated. Cecil' Lean and Florence Holbrook -moved "The Military Girl" from the Zlegfeld to the American Music Hall. Margaret Anglln comes to the Qarrlck, in "Egypt." The vaude- ville, burlesque and outlying theatres made the usual weekly change of bill. American music Hall (George Jordan, mgr.)—Season opened Sept. 28. wltb Cecil Lean-Florence Holbrook, In "The Military Old," which moved from the Zlegfeld Thea- tre after a successful run at that house. Auditorium (B. Ulrica, mgr.)—-The un- varying capacity attendance of "Tbc Garden of Allah" has continued owing to the merit of the attraction and the cleverness of the advance work and the billing. The receipts have averaged over $3,000 for every per- formance since the engagement began. Blackstonb (A. J. Utou, mgr.)—"Mlle- i atones," a delightful English play, presented I by an English company, la pleasing.

Davii. mgr.)—"Kismet," a play steeped in the atmosphere of the Arabian Nights, featuring Otis Skinner, be- Sun a limited engagement at the Illinois, cpt. 23. In the picturesque role of an Arabian beggar, Mr. .Skinner linos a part that bis peculiar genius relsee to a master- piece. "Kismet" Is an imaginative, poetic drama, with an .Oriental setting with pic- tures that enthrall and a naming romance that fascinates. The settings arc gorgeously rich. Rarely has fo striking an example of Hie wonderful resources of the modern stage keen seen. Hamilton Revelie, as the wicked "wazlr;" Fred Eric, as the calif; Rita Joll- vet, as the beggar's daughter, wore lmpcrson atlons of excellent merit, and like Mr. Skin- ner's character, were a part of the remarka- ble picture. La Sallk (Harry Askln, mgr.)—"The Girl at the Gate." McVickkr's (George C. Warren, mgr.)— "The Trail of the Lonesome line" closed 28. "Get-Ricb-Qulck Walllngford" opened 20, to excellent business. Olympic (Sam Ledcrer, mgr.)—"The Man Higher Up." Campaign agitation Is helping the business of this clever little political play. Edith Ellis, the authoress, lead a political meeting at the Olympic Sept. 23. Powers' (Harry J. Powers, mgr.)—"The New Sin," while an undisputed artistic suc- cess, Is playing to very light business. The luck of any women in the cast, and the un- allurlng title seem to make the public Indif- ferent. Princess (Mort H. Singer, mgr.) —"A Modern Eve." ■Stodebakhh '. (E. J. Sullivan, mgr.)— "Whose Helen Arc You?" closed Saturday, Bcpt. 28. The play will be retired from the stage. The theatre will be dark for the present. Whit-nix (F. O. Peers, mgr.)—Beverly B.
