a lady motion picture crltlo uttered the admonition: "Now, be careful and don't get lost In Brooklyn!" following It with gales of laughter. It struck her as so successful a witticism that sh repeated It several times, und each time It was greeted with the same gales. She saw to that. It Is the old geographical joke. Almost any city Is funny if you don't live In It.

To the large city the smaller community Is comic and a bit simple, to the smaller community the big city Is comic and very wicked. It can't be helped. We have to have easy things to laugh at and the town next door is always the easiest. But It happens now that E. F.

Albee. who has built any number of fine theaters and, more unusual still, seen to it that they are kept imposing, ha built In Brooklyn his very finest, giving it his name. They call It the most beautiful theater In the world. No one who has not seen all the theaters of the world Is In a position to deny It, though perhaps those who describe' It as (V the most beautiful haven't seen them evening Brooklyn assumed an Important new E.

THEAIR1 from now on to look upon Brooklyn as At any rate, players In vaudeville boro'a expense, since the biggest man In as the site of his most beautiful theater and given the house his name. Keith-Albee vaudeville has Its headquarters In Manhattan, and one might have expected that when Mr. Albee decided to call a theater after himself it would be a monumental playhouse on Broadway rather than in Brooklyn.

Nevertheless, players In vaudeville will doubtless go right on cracking Jokes at Brooklyn's expense) for they are players not easily awed. And nobody, not even Brooklynltes, will care particularly If they do. The funniest thing about -Wf 1 the geographical Joke 1 that its victims enjoy it. For one thing, it is good advertising and no one takes it seriously.

Kaufnan and Marc Connelly, are well known to local theatergoers by reason of their plays previously presented here "Merton of the Movies," "To the Ladles" and "Dulcy." But the play which comes here tomorrow night Is totally different from their other dramatic efforts. It ts a fantasy. "Beggar on Horseback" is in two acts, the first of which opens In the apartment of the poor young composer, who wants to write a great symphony, but is forced to orchestrate jazz to keep from starving.

Cady sire has made barrels of money In widgets; mother Is a small town knitting gossip; daughter wants to "buy" the composer as a husband; Homer, the son, Is a hypochondriac. The second act satirizes everything from the Supreme Court of the land to news NOW that the excitement of the Inaugural week is over, the bookers of the Kelth-Albee circuit are devoting their best efforts to assembling programs for the new E. F. Albee Theater. The theater is proving a splendid attraction in Itself.

The plot, which Is said to be thrilling and adventurous, centers about an English girl who lives with her brother In a mining town In South Africa. She Is surrounded by an Ill-assorted group of men and women, who are all desperate for money and hopeless of getting any.

Into this crele of stranded souls comes 'a young American millionaire; and here the plot thickens, as every one tries to trick the visitor out of his wealth.

At any rate, last Monday position on the theatrical map. The the mother-in-law of Manhattan. ought no longer to crack Jokes at the vaudeville has singled out this place It need not necessary hereafter to get lost In Brooklyn. Possibly the joke about the boro's facilities for getting lost may die. s.

The new vaudeville theater gives the boro a center at last, hanging the place together nicely. And it was a center that it needed. Now that it has a center even a Manhattan lady film critic, It is just possible, can find her way around. "Mrs. Partridge Presents" WHEN in a play the son of the family speaks of the fact that he Is some day to be an artist, you may be pretty sure that before long his father will be heard to tell the boy that he must go to work In tho office tomorrow and prepare to tak over the business.

And when a daughter gives one reason to believe that she may turn into an actress, it may safely be guessed that the moment the actress who plays her mother enters, that actress will declare In no uncertain terms that her daughter must put such ideas out of her head, since no nice girl should want to go on the stage. This is the old stuff of the theater. Youngsters yearn for the arts; their parents, dull Philistines, thwart them. In their first play, "Mrs. Partridge Presents at the Belmont Theater In Manhattan, Mary Kennedy and Ruth Hawthorne have reversed the usual procedure.

The son Is to be a painter, the daughter an actress, and the two hate tho prospect. It Is the mother who will have them follow the arts, thwarting them, bending them in the direction of her ambitions. It is a new Idea and a good one, presented without pretense, honestly and, without apparent effort to be funny, merrily. "Mrs. Partridge Presents is an unusually sucessful first play, Unlike the work of most beginners, there Is no affectation In it "You and the first play of Philip Barry, presented at the same theater not long ago, had the chlld-parent-and-art there, too, but It was written sentimentally and with a too con scious cleverness.

The newer play Is better In every way. The mother is self-reliant, clever, ambitious, a member of the Lucy Stone League. Her Ufa has not been altogether happy, she ha missed the best of it, though he Is happy enough as the play begins. Her children she wants to amount to something, so she has planned their careers. Their own ambitions, bow ever, are not of the sort that she has for them.

The daughter ha mot a young man and care to think of nothing but marriage. The son finds art irksome. It Is not until the last act that the mother discovers how far her plans have miscarried. Though a shrewd and amiable, wom an, she has misunderstood her chil dren as completely as do the par ents who can see only business for their sons, successful marriage for their daughters. Naturally, while the play gives a new slant to the parent-children theme, it has all the dvamatio possl billtles of tho older story.

The authors are "lucky. They can for once be original and tell an old story. thus catching two kind of playgoer. But they have written their play without, apparently, trying cor, sciously to catch anyone. They have tried to be fair to all their char acters, good humored, honest.

And they are all three. At the same time, they exhibit a skill unusual In be ginners. "Mrs. Partridge Pre-sent has th great virtue of be mg at once clever and unpreten tious. A modest, likable play.

THERE Is much controversy among the Intelligentsia and those who have seen Winthrop Ames' production of the hilarious play by Kaufman and Connelly, coming to tho Majestic Theater tomorrow, as to tho exact source of the title and its origin. The dramatic critics have received letters on the matter, as have the management of the theater and the actor who plays the poor young composer, Roland Young. Tho latter, being a busy man and Indolent to the nth degree, turned these communications over to the press representative with a sarcastic "you know everything, and what you don't you Imagine; so, suppose you reply." Some of the writers aver that the bright young spoofers who wrote "Beggar on knowing their Burton, took their title from a line in his "Anatomy of Melancholy" a cheerful book, as can be gathered from Its title which reads "Set a beggar on horseback and he will ride a gallop." An intelligent minority profesB to And the background and source of tho title in a line from liobert Greene's "Card of Fancie," a work much loved by delvers in the writings of Englishmen who flourished three centuries ago, which runs: "Set a beggar on horseback, they ealo, and he will neuer alight." The spelling is Mr.

Greene's. Supporters of the Burd of Avon, rightly averring that ha Is the most quoted writer who ever lived, quote from Henry VI. part HI, act scene 4, "That beggars, rounted, run their horse to death" as the titular inspiration. Back in 1670, when literature was not turned out by the Cady Consolidated Art Factory, John Ray had printed in London the first edition of his "English Proverbs," und in this is found, without credit to Its author, the proverb with which must of uh ore familiar, to wit: "Set beggar on horseback and he will rido to tha devil." Also another one much like that from Shakespeare, reading "Set a beggar on horseback and ho will gallon." But one must take Into consideration the fact that the basie. Idea that of a dream of the play was tuken from the Gorman.

Kaufmrn refused to read a free translation of Paul Apel's "Hans Sonnensloes-srr's Hohlenfuhrt, and Connolly merely glanced at it. So It might not be unreiisoimhle to suppose that they have turned to the Teutonic proverbs for an Idea which might have been worked, twisted or lis-tortcd into a tlile which would lie good for the box ollice. And this is wluit i hey found in the soft mid soothing tongue of Hen' Apel. first: "Set a beggur on horseback und he'll outride the devil." SeVoml. "When a beitnr gets on horsel.ucU the devil cannot outride him." The exponents of the idea tbiil Kiiufninn and Connelly went to the GcriiiiiiiH for their title, advance the Idea, to uphold their contention, that a fieu translation of the title of thu Apel opus is "Hans Sonnenstoes.iei-'s ride tzn." JifltlttN MILIEU -KNiorooaE 1 But if Brooklyn is eager to get rid of its inferiority complex it now has good reason to.

The E. F. Albee Theater Is no disappointment. Few men have ever striven so earnestly and so consciously as Mr. Albee to create the most beautiful theater He looked tired, though pleased, last Monday afternoon.

The chances are he has shortened his life a little more to make bis theater what it doing It gladly. There is a good deal of the artist In him in addition to his tastes as ap- predator of art and his talents as a business man. Vaudeville, od-vlously enough, ts a paying business. But Mr, Albee, It seems, is not content to look upon It only as a business. It makes huge sums of money for him, but Instead of hoarding the money, tying It up, gloating over it, he Is eager to put it back where it came from, turning it meanwhile Into beautiful things.

An unusual man, a man not content to live like a machine, a man with yearnings who, now that he Is unquestionably a business success, would give per haps a million or two to be a poor painter In a garret. If he had been a contemporary of Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, Hapahel, Titian, Tlntetto, he would not have been happy until he had paid them to work for him. It ts just possible, though, that it he had lived In their day he would not have thought them worthy of his patronage until they died, preferring the work of tbelr predecessors who, he oould be sure, were "established." Mr. Albee has a number of the work! of famous painters in the lovely gal lery of his new theater, paintings by Inness, Israels, Corot, Henner, Diaz, all of them oomfortably dead. The modern painters are not so well represented.

There Is a great deal of pure beau ty in the E. F. Albee Theater. Brooklynltes have reason to brag more than a little about it. I hope they will.

The most curious thing about Mr. Albee Is that, unlike many rich men, he does not spend his money all for show. The Albee Theater could have been made to seem all that it seems without actually being wholly genuine. Many a' man would have given his attention only to the front of the house, hoping to dazile his patrons with the splendors of a grand hall hung with famous paintings, lovely, elaborate smoking rooms, rich chandeliers, broad and Imposing stairways. E.

Albee has not stopped there, however. It Is the territory back-stag that does much to make his theater unique. Actors have never received so great a consideration. No one has ever concerned himself so earnestly with their comfort. At least, no one I know of.

There are theaters with more beautiful exteriors, any number of them, theaters with more modern Interiors; theaters with elaborate trick stages designed to make play production swift and easy; but no theater anywhere, I should guess, in which the comfort of the performer has been given so lively a consideration, The theater's dressing rooms make Us back-stage a first -class apjirtment house. There Is even a bath for the animals. Only they, then, need be unhappy In the house. It will take years to pay for It. thousands of dollars to take care of from week to week, thousands to keep it clean.

If any man in the country deserves to be In a position to build the finest theater In the world it is E. F. Albee. For he knows best how to keep it clean after he has built it. The Youngest Any manager who selects a manu.

script which. calls for a Juvenile lead with that peculiar attractiveness which the writers call whimsicality, looks around to see if he can get Henry Hull for the part. For Instance, when the Equity Players adventured with John Lawson's Impressionistic play of a youth's struggle with the "dragon of sex" they called upon Henry Hull. And so when Robert Milton began to cast for Philip Barry's comedy, "The Youngest," he looked for Henry Hull, Consequently he Is the amusing, bullied "Youngest" of the Winslow fam. Ily at the Gaiety Theater.

But Mr. Hull's family had Other plans than acting for Henry, Although the two older brothers, Howard and Shelley, were already pretty well started upward on tho theatrical ladder when Henry began to look about for worlds to conquer, they were all determined that Henrv should not be an actor. They sent him to Columbia University lo be mining engineer. He not Only finished the course, but he also went as far as a mining camp In Cansda and prospected for a while. But tho urgo of tho theater overcame the urge of engineering and he relumed to Broadway.

At Teller's Shubert SJVJHbbbsbbjsbVbbbsbbsis parents were told of th offer, but they put their foot down on It. father had other ideas about his career. But a kindly disposed school principal fixed It for tha little fel low and he was allowed to join tha circus, but only for six month a year. The Four Ashtona thus became tho Five Ashtons. Brown received $1.50 -a week salary, but he saved every penny and came home a wealthy boy.

He was only eight-years old. Life with this three-ring circus, ho" ever, seemed too strenuous for the boy, so the next season he joined the Bucy Brothers' Circus as an acrobat and stayed with that outfit three Reasons, it wus a local affair confined to Ohio. 1 Later ho went with the Floto Shows and the John Robinson Circus and it was while with the latter that he teamed up with Frank Prevoat, a well-known acrobut of that day and man three times hid age.
