The New York Clipper (April 1914)

6 THE NEW YORK CLIPPER. April 11 That Wont end Corns That liquid, that plas- ter—based on old ideas— won't terminate a corn. Don't try it. Your druggist has a new way—the scientific Blue-jay. It is so efficient, so easy, so painless that it now removes a million corns a month. The way is this: Apply Blue* jay at night—it lakes only a moment. From that time on the corn will cease to pain. Forget the corn for two days, then simply lift it out. Blue-jay loosens the corn. In 48 hours you can remove it without any pain or soreness. Folks have proved that, up to date, on sixty million corns. Stop paring corns. Stop the old- time treatments. End your corns forever in this simple, easy way. Try it on one corn.

Deaths. MABcn 28. Alfred Butts' appointment as managing di- rector of the Empire Theatre Is tbe sensa- tion of the hour. It has long been known (hat tbe Umpire directorate was In distress, ond many were tbe surmises as to tbelr course. But Mr. Butts' appointment came bb a surprise. Of Its wisdom there can be no doubt. iKor the smart, modern variety tbe- Rtre lie bas proved to have little less than genius. Tbe method of proceedure is that mo Empire directors join the Palace board, and two Palace directors Join the Empire boord. So the two houses will work in sym- pathy. The Empire was the first house of Its kind—at least tt gave variety entertain- ment a different quality from that which had prevailed at tbe one house it mostly re- B'.mbled, the AJhambti. Incidentally, it was the first really popular resort of American visitors to London. Boon K paid sixty per cent, dividends—although the average journ- a'ist, not expert In finance, never seems to remember that the division Is on a very small rr.pllal. There bad been many schemes to build theatres on the historic site North of Lcircslcr Square. They failed with more or less rapidity. The Empire was transformed from a panorama, and Its circular form only disappeared from the building with the last reconstruction. During the past few yeara there lias been a curious falling off in tbe popularity at the Empire, although Its vast tescrve funds have permitted the payment of respectable dividends. Alfred Butts is a young man. As a boy he was in Hnrrod's department Btore. Then he becamo nn accountant In the city, and In that capacity he was drafted to the Palace. He became assistant to the veteran Charles Morton, whom he succeeded as manager, being eventually invited to Join the board, and becamo managing director. Ender his control the Palace has flourished exceedingly. The Maude Allan sensation was Ingeniously engineered by him, and Pavlown'a engage- ment was his. lie has always made a fea- ture of American engagements—Rose Stabl, Walter Kelly, Clarice Vance and Frank Tin- ney for Instance, ond he has several times visited America. He controls. Jointly with Walter de Frece, a number of provincial balls, lndeccd. this linking up of the Empire and the Pnlacc may have a far reaching im- portance. Meanwhile, the Palace Theatre bas pro- vided an incidental sensation. Nyineky, the Russian dancer, who made so great a success at the Opera, was engaged for the Palace at the stupendous salary of $5,000. lie ap- peared on Monday, and then be fell mysteri- ously 111. Immediately followed the announce- mnt that the Palace directors had canceled the engagement '.u accordance with the terms of the contract They say that Nljlnsky'a Ill- ness had fatally Impaired bis value as on at- traction. But there Is no doubt the engage- ment was a complete disappointment. A revue, by Austin Hurgon, called "Happy Days," was produced at the London Coliseum on Monday. It Is a poor shift, except that it Is beautifully "mounted." The first scene has an Eastern environment, Tbe daughter of an Oriental prince elopes with an English traveler, and is shown round London. There Is n scene In a picture gallery, the pictures being representative of political celebrities, and alive. An important part is entrusted to Willie Solar, who has distinguished himself by doing the long Journey to and from Man- chester whero he was appearing, for re- hearsals. He Introduces his own "turn" with popular acceptance. At Manchester on Monday, lira. Langlry successfully produced a one act play, by Percy Fendall, entitled "Ashes." Sir. Fen- dall's situation Is old, but Its employment Is effective. Lady Lamlert. happily married, wae threatened oy her old lover, Fowler, with the production of a passionate letter unless she banded him a hundred pounds, h'hc procured a check for that amount, say- ing she wished to Joan It to a needy person. and invited Fowler to dinner. Having se- cured In exabango for the check the letter, which was promptly reduced to ashes, she remarked to her husband that the loan was no longer needed, and that Fowler, who had agreed to act as her medlary. might as well destiov the check. Ho liad, perforce, to re- duce Oils also to "ashes." A manager who wanted twenty chorus girls the other day got six hundred applications. Fred Wright and Madge Leasing report cheerily from Budapest, where they are ap- pen ring In a little tnutical play. Gertie Millar, so long: -with George Ed- wa.nice, goes to the Coliseum In the Autumn, to appear in a revue. H. v. Esmond and Eva Moore promise to take a West End Theatre on their return to London, and there produce "The Dear Fool." Says Kenneth Douglas: "'No matter how experienced an actress may be she always blushes the Drat time you kiss her at re- hearsal." Some Btage veterans are scheduled: Here is Sir Chance Wyndham, at seventy-seven, arranging to play new ports; Sir John Hare, who Is seventy, has recently been acting In London; Ellen 'Perry who Is Blxty-slx is off to Australia on a professional tour, and Mine. Snrnb. Bernhardt, who Is nearly seventy, Is never out ot the hill. A girl found In an East London poevrhouse la the musical boom ot the moment. She la said to have the greatest contralto voice of the century. "Broadway Jones" will move from the Prince of Wales' Theatre to the Lyceum toward tbe end of April. Ellen Terry sailed for Australia by the OmrtX yesterday. Joseph Rcecbam will produce four Russian operas during his Spring season at Drury Lane. Enid Bell, who bas made luch a hit In "A Pair of Silk Stockings," at the Criterion, proves to be the daughter of Agnes Delaporte, the once popular prims donna In comic opera. Fred Farr'M and Ida Crlapl, who have wan- dered across the continent or Europe, return to the Empire Monday with a sketch entitled "A Mixed Grill." An actress writes to The Magt contrasting tlie methods of American manager* who give the usphunt a bearing and a chance, and English, man- ager*. "Unless," she says, "yen smash a few windows Insult an M. P. hunger strike, or. ore aurpnsalLgiy beautiful, London managers wilt not take the trouble to see you, or hear you; conse- quently Etigllsh artists are compelled to cross tho water to be "discovered;" then, an euterprlslng English manager hurries over to bring back a 'star' London-bred and London-trained. My advice is, hurry over to New York, and get a hearing. If yon are good they will engage you. then man- agers will nock over from England to bring yon back again." Although it disappears from the Queen's, to make room for "Potash 4 Perlmutter," Zsng- will's "Melting Pot" will boll up again Immediate- ly, at tbe Comedy. Randolph Besler has again written a play which Frederick Harrison will produce at tbe Haymarket. George Graves, holiday making at Monte Oarlo, won »3,0OO. Lydla Yavoraka la to be entertained at a public dinner, on the Impending occasion ot the one hun- dred and fiftieth performance of "Anna Karen- ena," at tru Ambassadors', of which she has se- cured an extended less*. But Miss Yavoraka la an spostle of tbe nut diet! Arthur Bourchler had a thrilling experience. To get local color for a play be has In hand, he visited a thieves kitchen, In Berlin, and the police chose that very moment for a raid. Kddle Howard's humorous acrobatic act las now been booked up for the season. O. H. Workman la to go to Australia to play bis original part In "The Girl In the Taxi." Mr. Workman became famous In the later days of the Savoy. In an Interview, Lauderdale Maitland, tbe actor, told wbat he believed to be a fancy story About another actor, mentioning no names. But the courts b:!d that the man was easily identified and awarded Mm damages for libel, $200. But the costs have probably run up to $2,000. James Welcb say* that cinema acting, showing the artist to himself as he appears to others, la ar. education for him. "La Oalmargot" was revived at the London Coliseum on Monday. Oenee achieved her accus- tomed success herein. "Dlplomxcy" having been played for a year at Wvndham'B Theatre, is to be withdrawn early In April, In favor of a play by Alfred Surro. Says Mclba, Just home: "Tho American public are very appreciative and kind. They have plenty of money, are musical, and will always pay to bear what Is really tbo beat. But let me say l.ere that It Is of no use for second-class artists to go to the I'nlted States. They are foredoomed to failure. Americans know capanle singers, pack their halls and theatres to hear them, and do not grudge the cost. Bat (tbe great singer raised a warning linger, and spoke with great delibera- tion), arllsts who would succeed In America mast roescss surpsssing gifts and he iierfectly trained In tbelr art. My tour was a great success." Sliaw'a play, "The Music Cure," Is la the Palace program this week. "Never Ssy Die" was played At the Apollo for the last time on Saturday. To-night Moncbton Horre'a "Things We'd Like to Know" la due. "After the Girl" Is played at the Gaiety for the fiftieth time to-night.

Some time ago Charles Reed, Gibbons' llentenant, recovered nearly $4,000 from tbe London Theatres of Varieties, Limited, which dlnnussed him after Gibbons' departure. The company alleged graft. Resort to the Appeal Court hn« only served to indorse the verdict in Rood's favor. "Years ago," say* T*e Rtwlart, "actors and actresses were looked down on. They were rogues sad vagabcuds within the meaning of the set. Now they have been taught to consider Ihemsolves the only people who matter In a frivolous world, and the result has been tbat they pay too mneh attention to themselves—everything concerning them—exoept Ihelr work."
