Margaret AngVm in New Play in July Stage Gossip. Dt KIMi THE WEKK of June a jiew policy with regard to matinee will be inaugurated at Henry Miller's Theater, where Holbrook Blitin is starring in "The 1'Uy'a the Thing." The giowing American custom of week-ending tends to cut down the thiater attendance oj Saturday afternoons, without seriously affecting t'ie Saturday buiines of a suecewful attraction, this apparent paradox being probably due to the present- in New York during the summer nunths cf a floating population eager for Saturday night entertainment. In London, where the week-end is an established custom, many theaters have found it expedient to abandon the Saturday afternoon performances and substitute an extra midweek matinee.

This policy, new to New York, will be adopted at Henry Miller's Theater for the balance of the summer run of "The Tlay's the Thing. Beginning with Wednesday. June 8, there will be a matinee each Wednesday in addition to the regular matinee.

INie green lawn, the sky above and the great sea a veritable palace of amusement in a paradise-like setting. Then George Kohtnson took a firm hold on our arm and whimpered, as If half afraid: "We have a complete bill of vaudeville here every week. Would you care to see the show?" We left the balcony and with faith and hope in our simple heart we walked down stairs to the stage entrance, where more surprises wer to await us. It was so unlike a vaudeville theater.

So unlike any back stage view. There they were, the actors, pam bollntr on the green lawn, happy, childish and contented. Some were playing" ball. Others were playing taff. And off in a corner a group of acrobats were practicing their tricks.

George Robinson's heart swelled. It did him good to ace his actors smiling. It has always been his ider to give actors what they want and long with his theater, surrounded by rose-geraniums, snap-dragons and delphininums. vaudeville has held htm close. And strange to relat-, vaudeville, In turn, has fceen fairly decent to him.

"Please come in and see the show," he invited. We hesitated. Vaudeville was not in our class. Somehow we had always looked down upon it with a kind of snobbishness. However, we accepted the invitation and in.

It was an intimate theater with the stage built low. If you have seen little theater stages on a level with the seats In the orchestra the New Brighton is like thut, but On a larger scale. The place was cool. The sea air had entered and those on the stage were doing their best to please the patrons. A nice vaudeville house, we thought.

The man behind the scenes George Robinson is always to bo found with a black cigar stub In his mouth. He uses blunt, honest words to express himself; he possesses an equitable love for swimming, actors, the theater and the New Brighton wn. Robinson keeps his theater open Eva Fay, who will 6 featured next vteek at Loew'e Bedford Theater. To Boost Burlesque The producing managers of the Mutual Burlesque Association have created a fund of $50,000 to be used during the summer in an organized campaign to "discover" new talent for their shows and to secure original short comedy scenes and musical compositions. Two of the producers will leave Immediately for Kurope to visit all of the music Jialls of London and the Provinces, with authority to execute contracts with desirable performers, and the same procedure will be followed in this country.

Those who know their Gilbert and Sullivan understand that a laugh hangs upon the use of the word "Basingstoke," which is a small town in England. Amei lean audiences have heretofore failed to catch the intended comic allusion and therefore a more popular town, for example, was employed, despite protests of many Savoyards, who always deplore the slightest departure from a Gilbert and Sullivan text. "Triple-CroHsnV Moves, "Triple-Crossed," the popular mystery melodrama by F. S. Merlin, moved to Wallack's Theater last night.

Robert Rockmore, the producer, was forced to move the play from the Morosco because of previous contractual arrangements. The cast, headed by Vera Maxwell, Patricia Barron, Edwin Redding. Frederick Smith, Frank Horton and Robert Toms, remains intact. All About B. MnoQiinrrie.

Benedict MacQuarrie, who is now-playing Anthony in "The Mystery Ship," at the Comedy Theater, Is a brother of George MacQuarrie and brother-in-law of Helen MacKellar. Benedict MacQuarrie has a penchant for entering the cat of a Gustav Blum production In the middle of its run. Three seasons ago he replaced Escamillo Fernandez in "My then the attraction at the Bayes Theater, where Mr. Blum's production of "Gertie" achieves its 250th performance New "DeMert Song" Prima Donna Stager' Activities Charlotte Lansing, a youthful prima donna whom Schwab und Mandel have been grooming for the past several months, and who, according to Sigmund Romberg, the composer, is one of the most promising young singers developed In light opera in recent years, is to make her formal debut in the role of Margot Bonvalet in "The Desert Song" at the Casino tomorrow afternoon, replacing Vivienne Segal, who leaves for a trip in a few days. Ho delighted were the producers with the youhg woman's voice and personality when they discovered her some months ago that they have been carrying her on their payroll since Janunry waiting an opportunity to introduce her to the New York public.

Some weeks ago, when Miss Segal was ill. Miss Lansing sang the prima donna role in "The Desert Song" and charmed her audiences at every performance. She has also given several radio concerts and received thousands of letters from listeners. Altering O. and Lawrence J.

Anhalt, producer of the Gilbert and Sullivan opera "Ruddigore" at the Cosmopolitan, has decided to alter the original text by substituting "Buffalo' for "Basingstoke" in the second act. The change has the approval of all those connected with the production. In his previous revival of "Ruddigore," six years ago, at the sumo play 16 weeks of the year, closing down when (and if) winter comes. In the brief time that the house is open he puts on the best he can get. Always worthwhile amusement and nothing pretentious, Other theaters keep open 40 weeks a year and shut down for the rest, still wondering pbout their losses.

To Robinson losses are secondary. The show is the thing with him. Moreover, there doesn't seem to be any losses. In giving his neighbors what they want he has the assistance of all the actors in and around New York. As the summer approaches and the grow weary of strolling alor the Rialto and the city houses become stuffy and hot and salaries are cut, along comes George Robinson and offers a hand.

He books the cream of vaudeville and for a week or two the actors are on a spree. The sea invites them to swim, the green lawn to gambol on and the stage on which to play. George Robinson is their godfather. It is well worth a trip, not so much to witness the vaudeville at the New Brighton as to meet the theater itself, its incongruously placed garden, that lovely panorama from the balcony, and George Robinson himself, a manager has purchased a new dos for his act. The dopr 'will ho trained to perform, and in to he an understudy in the canine which now appears in the revue.

London rays. A cablegram received yesterday by Schwab Mandel brought the information that last week's receipts of "The Desert Song" at the Drury Lane Theater, the eighth week of the London run, amounted to 7,300. The play is now in its 29th week e.i the Casino. all of the principal cities, extending anxjMicrujru to ban Irancisco, with night clubs and cabarets given special attention, in the quest for talent. Writers of comedy and composers will be dealt with through the general offices of the Mutual, at 723 Seventh Manhattan.

This is but one of several unusual plans conceived by I. H. Herk, president of the Mutual Association, for the permanent betterment of burlesque productions.
