“THE FLAME.” 
Next week’s attraction at the Ma- 
jestic Theatre, Boston, will be Rich- 
ard Walton~ Tully’s wonderful play 
of a woman’s heart, ‘““The Flame.” 
Following a remarkable run in New 
York, where it received the most en- 
thusiastic endorsement of the New 
York critics, it has had unstinted 
praise from several metropolitan cen- 
tres of this country. Among its feat- 
ures, besides a notable cast of players, 
are: the most gorgeous stage settings 
ever displayed in America, the de- 
vastating hurricane sweeping through 
the depths of the green jungle, the 
Voodoo procession dancing in_ the 
wonderful banana grove, the pictur- 
esque altar to the sun and moon far 
below the earth’s surface, the trap- 
ping of the American citizens in the 
wonderful flowery courtyard by a 
horde of Mexican savages, the wierd 
“Rumba” Dance as performed in 
Cuba.

“A Tattor-MapE MAN.” 
“Tt is not what a man starts from, 
but where he gets to, that counts” so 
says “A Tailor-Made Man” now play- 
ing at the Tremont Theatre, Boston, 
to capacity audiences at every per- 
formance; and this doctrine discloses 
the crux of this intensely clever and 
highly laughable comedy. The im- 
mortal Shakespeare says there are 
“sermons of stone, books in the run- 
ning brooks and good in everything’ 
and he was right. Life each day of- 
fers a text that could be utilized for 
a thousand sermons; Nature preaches 
to mankind a sermon in dumb silence 
that could not be equalled by the or- 
atory of a Demosthenes; and many 
times, the stage contributes a lesson 
so terse, timely and true, that the mes- 
sage is carried home with a deeper 
embedded impression, than if it were 
delivered with ecclesiastical embel- 
lishments. 
“Tr WoMAN THou Gavest ME.” 
~ Once in a great while a brand new 
play is produced in Boston for the 
first time on any stage and creates a 
whirlwind of excitement at the start. 
Such is the case with Hall Caine’s 
powerful drama, “The Woman Thou 
Gavest Me,” founded on his own 
widely read novel of the same name. 
Crowds have packed the theatre at 
every performance. These crowds 
have acclaimed the play one of in- 
tense popular interest, dealing as it 
does with the ever lasting ethics of 
NORTH -S:H-O:R E- -B Reb ne 
the Boston press concede its great 
human appeal, and predict long suc- 
cess for it. The scenic production is 
undoubtedly the most massive seen 
in years. 
“THE MASQUERADER.” 
On Monday evening next, April 23, 
Guy Bates Post in “The Masquer- 
ader” will enter upon its eight pros- 
perous week at the Plymouth Thea- 
tre, Biston, in Richard Walton Tully’s 
newest production. Dramatized novels 
are more apt than not to miss fire, but 
John Hunter Booth’s skillful version 
of Katherine Cecil Thurston’s popu- 
lar book is quite the reverse, and the 
universal verdict is that no more 
gripping or better acted drama _ has 
been seen in Boston this season. 
Much of the success of the produc- 
tion is due to Tully’s splendid stage- 
craft, the London fog scene especially 
having aroused much favorable com- 
ment. 
“JOAN THE WOMAN.” 
Joan of Arc and her visions, al- 
ready embodied by Geraldine Farrar 
in the films in “Joan the Woman,” 
which seems well established at the 
Colonial Theatre, in its second month 
and going strong, are being utilized, 
in different form, of course, by play- 
wrights striving to reach the public 
with timely plays. A well known 
dramatic critic of New York, refer- 
ring to J. Hartley Manner’s new play 
for Laurette Taylor, who in private 
life is Mrs. Manners, rises to observe 
that “In the ten reviews of ‘Out 
There’ which we read, we noted that 
eight referred to ’aunted Annie as a 
‘cockney Joan of Arc.’” 
B. F. Kerru’s THEATRE. 
The mammoth military musical 
comedy, “Arrerica First,” featuring 
Bruce Weyman and a company of 20 
soldiers, sailors, West Point cadets, 
singers, dancers, musicians, and 
pretty girls, will head the bill offered 
at B. F. Keith’s Theatre the week of 
April 23. . No attraction could be 
more appropriate just at this time. 
when New England is rallying ’round 
the flag. than “America First,” with 
its inspiring pictures of patriotism, 
and introducing several features that 
are bound to stir the blood of the 
meekest pacifist, “America First” is 
in three big scenes, showing in turn 
the parade grounds at West Point, 
with 20 gray-clad cadets on drill; the 
fore deck of the U. 5. S. “Pennsyl- 
vania,”’ with the crew busy at deck 
evolutions; and a military encamp- 
ment on the Mexican border, intro- 
ducing the boys in olive drab service 
uniforms, and a big military band of 
20 pieces. The piece abounds in 
23 
songs, dances and picturesque evolu- 
tions, the military drills being super- 
vised by a U. 8S. Army officer, and 
the naval scene by a deck officer of 
the U. S. Navy. “America First’ is 
to be seen at B. F. Keith’s Theatre 
for one week only. 
S0STON THEATRE. 
Valeska Suratt, the siren of the 
screen, playing the title role of H. 
Rider Haggard’s immortal novel, 
“She,” as dramatized by William Fox, 
in seven superb parts, will head the 
big bill of picture and vaudeville 
features offered at the Boston Thea- 
tre the week of April 23rd. “She” 
ranks as one of the greatest creations 
of fiction. As picturized by William 
Fox, this romance of the beautiful 
queen, who possessed the secret of 
eternal youth and beauty, makes one 
of the most fascinating pictures ever 
Hlmed.
