TO ANYONE with a spark of sentiment loft within him, ''Mother Carey's Chickens," which will be the comedy offering at the Shubert next week, commencing with Sunday's matinee, will have a strong appeal. It is billed as "a comedy of love, pathos and laughter" and Manager Bainbridge adds that it is "a play as sweet and as i lean as the spring flowers." "Mother Carey's Chickens" is a dramatization from the book of the same name by Kate Douglas Wiggins done by the playwright, Rachel The story is developed in three nets and the characters involved, all faithfully transferred from the book to the stage, will test the acting strength of the resident company of players. The "chickens," by the way are Mother Carey 's four children: Nancy, Gilbert, Kathleen and Peter. In reduced circumstances following tbeir father '8 death the five make valiant efforts to maintain a borne for themselves iu a New England village. A rery pretty example of that "old, old story that is ever new" runs through this tale in which smiles and tears and flashes, of merriment and sorrow are deftly blended.

From Hennepin avenue to Broadway find now back home again comes Eda Luke, Minneapolis pirl, heading the "Parlor, Bedroom and Bath" company omiug-to the Metropolitan next Sunday. She will have the part of the Kirl reporter played by the pa.iama-elad Florence Moore last year. Others in the company are Walter E. Perkins, Will Archie, Fred Lewis and others. TJiis is.

an amusing and innocent enough story of a sentimental wife who wants lier husband to, rake up some kind 'past" for himself so she may think she has worked a kind of reform.

Denis -wilt not appear witn tne Denishawn dancers this week. I have heard so much talk about "Keith's" in comparison with, our Orpheura out here. Just what is this Keith conversation that people almost habitually fall into when speaking ot Orpheum vaudeville and comparing it with vaudeville in other cities! Adelaide Houston, New Ulm, Minn. The Keith circuit is to tne what -the Orpheum circuit is to the West. In other words, acts which we see here on Orpheum time are booked iu the East over the Keith time.

The only actual difference in the bills themselves in the big Eastern houses and those out here is in the number of acts appearing on the. program. In New York, where Keith maintains four the aters, and in JJoston, ana other cities, the program consists of nine acts instead of the seven which comprise the Orpheum bill. Four or five ects are followed by an intermission and the remaining acts come, after intermission. I am anxious to know something about the igrcat Greek dramatists whom hear so much about.

"The Play's the Thing" Even More ThanVretty Anita "In Old Kentucky For the first time in her starring career, Anita Stewart is to find that fact "the" play's the thing." Here tofore it lias been Miss Stewart who has made "Mary Began," "Human Desire," "Mind the Paint Girl" and other pictures successful. is soon to see a play that will do more for Miss Stewart thnn Miss Stewart will do for tho nlav. It is "In Old Kentucky," that famous American classic, that has been played lor more tnun years. Despite Mims Stewart's Breat ponu larity, it is more than probable that tne majority or photoplay fans will co to see "In Old Kentucky" because of tho play itself, and not because of Miss btewart.

"Jn Old Kentucky," the work of Charles T. Duzey, 1ms broken all rec ords among stage pluys. It has com plcted its twenty-sixth year with a 40 week tcasoo, and has started its twenty-seventh season, with every pros peel i ii at it win equal ii not excel any previous success. It is stated on the best of authority that Miss Stewart paid Mr. Dar.ey 1150,000 for the motion picture rights to "In Old Kentucky." To present It Miss Stewart selected her own cast which includes Mahlon Hamilton, i'A ward Coxen, Charles Arling, IJdward Connelly, Adele l'arrington, Marcla Ma non, Frank Duffy and John Currie, Marshall JNeilnn did the directing.

These are the "March of tho.Tovs" from Vietr Herbert's "Babes in Toy-land," a delightful choice for Christ mas week and the "Barcarolle" from "The Talcs of Hoffman" by Offcn- each. About -12 years have passp-1 since Herbert's dainty and cheerful opera was first 'produced and while newer works by this gifted American com poser have somewhat crowded the older opera into the the memory of its beauties are not forgotten.

The music of the "March of the Toys," where the figures of doll girls ajid boys of all styles and hlr.cn go marching about in the old toy-maker's shop is jiiHt as humorous and jerk', as their awkward and automatic movements. The 'omic opera, "Tales of Hoffman "'was Hoffman 's lust 'effort' anl his greatest aft en-he had written omVthing like. i0 light operas of a rather burlesque order. Though sun of a Jewish and born in Germany, he spent almost his entire life in France where ho was the originator of the Parisian burlesque musical jihow. In addition tn being a composer he was auto omcthicg a cellist and often eppeared a in concerts in both Franco and Englaud.

The fiuiious Barcarolle, occur in the imc-oik! ad, the fi'ene being laid in Venice and the, theme recalling Hoffman "affair d'amour" with a famous Ve netian beauty. The overture today will be Weber "a ''Oberon" which the composer wrtile for the Coveut (iarden opera in Lon-dou and which had its first performance in Kb. The Story, based upon an old Freiich romance, is a most fantastic one, presenting a curious admixture of normal human beings and fairies. The principal ciiaraters are Oberon, the Klfin King, Fuck, Huon, a young knight -of Jiot.iaaui and Ueiza, daughter of the caliph of Bugdad. The overture reflect the story and i universally popular.

Its leading themes arc the horn solo, indicating Oberon magie hord; a short tnuvemeut of the fairy a martial strain from a scene in tkc uvt ot 'harlema(iiev a passaga from famous aria, "Ocean, thuu Mighty Monster," and Purk'a invocation of' the spirits.
