UPLIFT AND EXPANSION WILL SIGNALIZE THE YEAR 1913 IN VAUDEVILLE ART PHOTO- PLAY THEATRES. BT ROBERT '1IIAU. Almost without heralding and surely with- out creating an upheaval, the greatest actreu of our time, that AJax of two centuries, Mm». Sarah Bernhardt, at the age of sixty- nine, has come hither with her confreres from the famous playbouae which bears her name In the French capital, not to appear In tho legitimate theatres, where the divine one was wont to enthrall ub, but to fulfill a twenty weeks' engagement In the modern vaudeville theatres, for which the French actress Is receiving a weekly honorarium of $8,000. Barely It may not be said of Sarah that her power to attract at $3 a scat baa de- clined, for it Is well known that her last two toura of this country were the greatest, financially, of her amazing career, while her annual Income, exceeding $200,000, hag al- most been doubled In the last year as a result of her advent In the film studio and through madanie's syndicated writings; more- over, during Sarah's visit to these shores her theatre In Paris is profiting to a grentcr extent than In any previous year. Hence It la not a necessity for thla Illustrious woman to place) herself In the position of never ngnln attracting the playgofng public at the old stale of prices. It has always been claimed by the present writer that Sarah Bernhardt Is merely the unsiKuiil artist woman, never abnormal, but ever tho shrewd; calculating 1 artist, whose greatest aim Is to maintain her artistic status In any environment while willing to bow to any Innovation provided the financial reward Is greater than any before to her credit of all things Sarah Bernhardt Is never guilty of anything that would constitute a retrograde movement in her career. When offered $30,000 to pose before the motion picture camera. In "Caortlle," all of the groat artist's friends rebelled—out Sarah wns Im- pressed. Said she: "It they can pay ma f 30,000 to photograph my art, that In Itself is evidence that there can be nothing de- grading about It, besides why shall I not co- operate with those who seek to perpetuate my portrays Is so that other generations may benefit. Would we not all give much to bs able to witness Die artistry of Itachel, Booth, lorrest end Snlvlui on the screen!" Thero you hsvo Itl Bernhardt not only accepted the $30,000, but three times within six months has been paid a similar sum by film producers to pose for as many of her Intest roles. When asked If her procedure would not noun tho end of her career as the greatest living actress, this is what Sarah nad to BUM "Fiddlesticks; why may rot an artist enter tho motion picture studio with her Brace and dignity. Cinematography gives, after nil, a truer expression of one's art Hum the Mage, because tho camera cannot Hi-, and the spectator eun alwayi count on seeing in the film studio many enhancing factors. The climaxes in 'La Tosca' were in-ver so well presented an In the photoplay which I rehearsed before the camera man." And now comes this Illustrious and inde- fatigable woman to tho "two-a-day," the Idea being that a new Hi rill was due In this field, rind Martin Beck, one of the magnates of vaudeville who have amassed millions In the last decade, was the man who had the cour- age to pay Sarah $100,000. Mr. Beck Is a typical reproseutnllvc of the rising generatlor In the amusement world. He figures he ran' 1 lose money and Is willing to lose it, ati- f'et to the amazement of nil there Is every ndlcatlon Hint the tour will be immensely successful. In Chicago all the seats were ■old for the entire week, at Increased prices, before the opening day—thua once snore' has Sarah proved that the truly great do not reduce their value no matter what their artistic or business procedure may be. After all this Is as it should be. Time was when the failures of tho legitimate thestre were seized upon by the vaudeville managers, but the vogue was temporary, and soon rt became necessary to possess more than a nnme In order to conjure In the "two-a-day. The render does not have to be told that even ns recently ns fifteen years ago the ■tnrs of the singe were anxious to be "tempt- ed" Into vaudeville. Many refused, how- ever. The same Mr. Beck, whoae enterprise save nn tho divine Rnrnh. also induced Ethel lUrrymorc and Mrs. Langtry to capitulate, and now comes the announcement that the near future will witness the advent of Cavallerl. Nordics and other grand opera ■tars, alao that (be great pianist, De l'ach- man, and the violinist. Kubelik. are unable to resist the amazing offers held out to them. . •. ' But after Bernhardt, who? For the last twelve years the managers of the vaudeville theatres hare endeavored eaeh season to immeasurably raise the level of their offer- ings on their programs, but they have gone the limit In presenting the French woman. It is difficult to sec how any fntnre move on their part can fall to be retrogressive;— even If It were possible to mete out more than $8,000 a week to one number on the program. What attraction could be offered that could be regarded as an advance or progressive? After Bernhardt—who ? Mr. Keith and bis associates are lndlcattng that their future mode of procedure Is likely to result in a complete change In the charac- ter of their offerings to the public. The new Palace Theatre, at Forty-seventh Street and Broadway, Is almost -ready to open. This magnifloent playhouse was erected by Martin Beck for the purpose of Inaugurating » polley of two dollar o seat vaudeville, and It was for this theatre and the vast chain of gold laden theabres be controls West of Chicago that the magnate engaged Bernhardt, Oenee, and a dozen stellar lights to whom the In- ducements offered were irresistible. But when Mr. Keith, with that shrewd- ness characteristic of the modern showman, purchased for $5,250,000 the seven play- houses In the greater city conducted hereto- fore by Percy Williams, Mr. Beck, In some way was forced to abandon his ambitious project, and the Palace Theatre bos reverted to Mr. Keith and his associates. What Is to become of the new Palace Theatre? The answer to this query which one hears on the 'iRJalto" almost a* every turn, will soon be revealed perhaps before these llnea are In type. At a recent demonstration at the Orange laboratory of the lOnctophone (a synehTOTil- ziitlon of the phonograph and the motion pic- ture), the Wizard of Menlo Park virtually has fulfilled his prophecy to the effect that the wnrklngman would lay down his dime at the box office of the modern theatre of science, and In return hear and -witness a re- production of plays, spectacles and grand opora with the world's greatest players and singers utilized only for the original records and firm—a veritable conquest of the orbs of music and the drama. This demonstration was attended by a group of men who had amassed great fortunes in the vaudeville field, but who of late have btcn confronted with the problem as to where they were to look in order to maintain the standard of their stage offerings. So Im- pressed were they with the results of this demonstration of the Wizard's latest inven- tion, that they then and then entered Into an agreement by which one-third of their en- ■tertalntnents In future will be given by the Klnetophone. This procedure means that in about one hundred theatres of the first grade, science and artifice will combine to replace the per- former in the flesh, and as this group of showmen la but one of a dozen such syndi- cates, and as the Edison device Is but one of three already contracted for exhibition all over tbe world, it would appear to be ex- tremely likely that Mr. Keith and his col- leagues have concluded that, having reached the limit of their ambitions with the advent of Sarah (tbe effort to induce the grand opera stars to make' the vaudeville plunge having failed), they now turn to scientific public entertaining In the hope that progress and expansion will be as great, If not greater, with the "talking pictures" than, with the motion picture and the phonograph, and now that Charles Frohman has followed the lead of brother Daniel, who has prospered amazingly In the Dim Industry, and with John Cort utilizing the Kiteee speaking pic- tures in two hundred playhouses he controls West of Chicago, and with Oliver Moronco— pethnps the most prolific play producer of to-day—investing his personal fortune In the third of the synchronized devices, known as the Ametophone, one must assume that the answer to the query "After Bcrnhedt, who?" will come from tho film studio, wl-ere our Maude Adams, John Drews, NazlmovaB and Ethel Darrymores are following the example set by the divine Sarah, Rejane and Mounet, -Sully, who, with grace and dignity, bare permitted their ar- tistry to bo revealed to future generations on the screen, and now that Mr. Edison and others have solved the problem of synchroni- zation, the spectacle of seeing great actors and singers after they have passed away and henring them speak and sing will be on view, but let us not overlook what the ad- vent of the theatre of science means to our own generation. The ftact that the »ocietaire» of the come- dies Frar.calse, of Paris, are to pose for the camera man, and their vocal expression is to be recorded simultaneously, it will not only be possible for the American public to enjoy the art of the house of Molliere, but by rea- son of the methods of duplication the people of Kalamazoo and of the smallest cities from const to coast will have the same privilege and almost at the same time. a ■ a DANCERS ARRESTED. Alice Els and Herbert French, who have been giving a dance in Hammersteln's Vic- toria Theatre which they call "Le Rouge et Nolr," were arrested at night of Feb. 20, at the theatre on warrants obtained in the Men's Night Court by Deputy Police commis- sioner Harry Ncwburcer. charging them with giving an objectionable dance. Manager Will- iam Hammorstein was also arrested, charged with "acting In concert" with the dancerB and permitting the dance to be produced. Mr. New-burger attcnlded the performance two or three times. It was said he wished to make certain of hla facts and therefore went more than once. He then obtained the warrants nnd gave them to Inspector Dwyer to serve. Mr. Hnmmcrstcln and the two dancers were taken to Night Court, and there Horry Mock, connected with the theatre, furnished ball for Oieiv appearance In court 21, when Mr. Hammcrxtcln and the dancers were held In $500 ball eacb to answer In the Court of Special Sessions. The dance-was given as usual night of 20, although some persons said it had been FAIRS AND EXPOSITIONS This Directory Compiled at the, WESTERN BUREAU of Tsm New York Clipper, 505 Asbland Block, Chicago, where corrections and alterations should be sent.
