rheatrical C CLEVlER COMEDYTO CO0MI-E TOMAJESTIC' "Rappy Incidents of Learning Days" is the sub-billing of Menlo Moore's "When Love Is Young," which comes to the Majestic soon for a three; days' engagement. School days and love days'are more or less synonymous anyway, so it doesn't require an extra amount of niental exertion for one to surmise just about the nature of the subject matter of this act. The fact that it is a Menlo Moore act signifies at once that lavish and beautiful stage pic- Aures, , pretty costumes, attractive girls, handsome and manly men, tune- ful music, some dancing and comedy, may all be anticipated, for, hats off to Moore, he is the acknowledged "56 variety" producer in show business. "When Love Is Young" calls for three young college couples, in love,; PLAY WRlITTEN OR ITS FAMOUS STAR Miss Billie Burke, one of America's favorite actresses, will be the attrac- tion at the Whitney theatre, Thursday night, November 5, when she will ap- rear in "Jerry," khe comedy that Cathl rine Chisholm Cushing wrote especially for her and in which she scored one of her biggest successes at the Ly'ceaw theatre, New York, last spring, and later on at the Blackstone theatre, Chicago. This is the piece in which Miss Burke appears in pink pajamas--the pink pamajas that set all New York and Chicago talkiug, Jleitry is a spoiled and precocious miss who has emigrated from her native Chicago to the staid environs oi a Philadelphia suburb, whose peopl, she proceeds straightway to imbye with the Chicago spirit.

The unprecedented vogue of this remarkable play in Europe is being duplicated in America, and there seems to be no signs as yet that the public interest is waning, for re- prs are to the effect that since Nor- nn Hackett has succeeded Walker Whiteside in the faimous Japanese role, the popularity of the play itself has been fully justified by. the enor- mous business he is doing with it. Produced in this country two years ago by Mr. Whiteside, "The Typhoon" took New York and Chicago by storm,' with a conc-ensus of favorable critic- ism rarely bestowed upon a play by an unknown author. The unusual theme and the originality of its treat- ment aroused the greatest curiosity in playgoers of all classes. The cen- tral idea of the play is the conflict between the two civilizations of the far East and the West, their different ideals and moral standards when brought into direct contact one with the other. The outstanding figure of Tokeramio is surrounded by wonder- fully drawn types of Japanese who add to the mystery and - strangeness' of a play entirely distinct from any other of recent times. Norman Hackett has won the con- fidence of local theatregoers in past seasons by,;is conscientious work and always well equipped productions, so that his high standard will be fully maintained in his forthcoming pre- sentation o "The Typhoon," which is the most ambitious attempt this sterling young player has yet offered. He will be ably supported by Eleanor Miller, a promising emotional actress on the Margaret Anglin type, Andrew Streng, Carl Reed, Maurice Schon- field, W. I. Turner, Edwin Vail, Edw. Forbes, W. W,. Hoffman. N'W TRAFFIC PLAY TO COMLE TO WHITNEY, NOV EMBER , Stirring action, brilliant dialogue and breathless climaxes inark ithe action. of the four-act drama "The Under Dog" which comes to the Whit- ney on Friday, November 6, for one performance. The new and amazing play is by the authors of "The Traffic" Rachael- Marshall and Oliver Bailey, but unlike that startling play, it deals with no topic and contains no lines or situations that are unsuitable to the most fastidious or innocent hearer. Its mighty lesson is borne along upon the swiftly moving actions of two virile, rational and clean love-stories and the "argument" of the entire four acts is of gripping interest, noble situations and sparkling humor. Old and young may witness it with de- light as well as -with positive profit for its story is as sane, as uplifting and as stirring as its purpose is lofty,. illuminating and edifying. "The Under Dog" cast is one of dis- tinction with sterling players of abil- ity.

The action of the piece takes place on the veranda of one of the fraternity houses. The act is niftily dressed. The properties and appointments are entirely consistent with the scene to be pictured. Class and distinction permeates every word, song and dance. Clean, wholesome and really amusing comedy is attempt- ed and free from "horse play." The dainty and pleasing dancing steps of. the ladies suggest their being agile exponents. The special acrobatic and eccentric dance by one -of the company adds a touch of variety. M. M. Meag- ley, a favorite Chicago La Salle Opera House under-study, heads the assemb- ly of talent and furnishes the act with that distinctive touch of profession- alism not often encountered in the inedium priced variety programs. Each of the three girls are beautiful, graceful and especially gifted for their chosen line of effort. At the Majestic Betty Washington and George Jes- sel with a company of ten .clever ju- venile pes formners, occupy the head- lining position on the Majestic bill next week. The sketch includes many of the famous Gus Edwards song hits, among which are several new ones, in less than a week she has captured the man w ho has been bethrothed for twenty years to her patient and abiding aunt. How she does it-that is the play. It is quite enough to know beforehand that the method is unique and amusing and that it gives Miss Burke, -who plays Jerry, of course, an opportunity not only to wear those pink pajamas but also some other stunning frocks-includ- ing a nifty riding suit with breeches- and to display her charming person- ality to the very best possible ad- vantage. Charles Frohman has organized a splendid company to support his popu- lar youngster. but its chief claim to distinction lies, nevertheless, in its novelty. Halton Powell's production of "The Little Modiste," which will soon be seen at the Majestic theatre, is con- structed solely for laughing purposes and it accomplishes its purpose to the fullest extent. It is one of the clev- erest musical comedies of recent years, abounding in the most start- ling and absurd situations.
