LOEWS METROPOLITAN "FRIENDLY ENEMIES" IS POPULAR AS EVER "THE RAINBOW GIRL" IS MUSICAL TREAT BLUEJACKETS SHINE ON 0RPHE.DM BILL New Plays Come to Manhattan "Declassee" Best in Years i FRANK KEENAN SEEN IN FILM AT KEENEY'S A very well balanced bill is offered at Keeney's Theater for the earlier Part of this week.

Louis Mann began his second suc cessful week at the Majestic last night Dorothy Phillips in "The Right to Happiness" is the screen star at Loew's Metropolitan this week.

The fstory, which is one ol Bieat dramatic interest, deals with Russia and its prop-Gganda or revolution. The lives of twin sisters are carried on in two distinct stories, but held together by interlacing interests until the girls are finally brought face to face for the denouement. The industrial problem ia the keynote of the production. The vaudeville has as an extra attraction, L. Wolff Gilbert, song writer, with Leon Flatow at the piano.

Gilbert sang his compositions, old and new, last night, introducing new verses of "Bring Back." A one-act farce called "Baby Bugs," acted by Walter Fishtcr and company, was screamingly funny. Georso W. Jones and Harry Sylvester gave a comedy dialogue and new f.ongs. The Musical-Waylands showca their skii! on various instruments and Danas Brother jjuve an exhibition ttapeze stunts that was both new and thrilling. Beginning Thursday, the screen feature will be Anita Stewart in "The Kingdom of Dreams." in the popular comedy drama.

"Friendly Enemies," There were war me list oi entertainers. This is a springhly little skit and scored a big hit. A very enjoyable act was furnished by the Astor Four called "Combination Song and Dance." Plenty of thrills were given by the acrobatic comedians, Cunningham and Daretto. They have an extremely daring act. Roatl-na and Barretti have an original skit called the "Aviator." Comedy aplenty was furnished by Louis and Dunbar, who appear in a novel little turn which they term "Something to Talk About." The violin and cello boys.

Cascla and Verdi, offer a very good musical act. Two clever dancers, Robert and Burns, have a lot of new steps which they exhibit. Frank Keenan in the "False Code" is the photoplay feature for the earlier part of the week. It is a strong play and shows Mr. Keenan at his best.

plays and plays of the war. This pro duction is one of the latter. Most of the war plays have already sunk Into restful oblivion, their mission being There may have been one or two American drnmas that are better than Zoe A kins' "Declassee," which opened at the empire Theater last night. If there have been, we have not seen them. It is possible that from time to time actresses have given better performances than Ethel Barrymore gave last night.

We should have to see them given again before admitting their superiority. During the evening the rich Jew who was in love with the heroine spoke of her as possessing the incommunicable technique of nidgniliccnce." That waa an apt phruse. It describes the quality of the play and the quality of Miss Bar-r more performance. I'eihups it may be said of "De-clasaec" that it smells a little of pinero; that it is flavored a trifle too much with ihe essence of his "Iris," his "Mid Channel" and his Second Mrs. Tanqucray." When, in the lat act, the heroine, too.

proud to be broken bv circumstances that would have driven inevitably down a woman with less of the "incommunicable technique of magnificence," walks off the naze, one whispers to himself a prayer that that will end the play; that she will never be heard of again. Pinero stage durinig their retirement by their use of hangings in place of scenery. Not only were they able, by this suggestion of the original Shakespearean stage, to quicken the speed of the performance, but the harmony of colors and lighting gave a stimulus to the Imagination and induced restful absorption in the play itself rather than a divided attention between' the poetry, the players and the scenery, which has been the effect of some elaborate revivals of this comedy. The performance as a whole was competent, the cast including Frederick Lewis as the Duke, Henry Stanford as Sebastian. J.

Sayre Crawley as Sir Andrew. Vernon Kelso as the clown and Norah Lamlson as Maria. Twelfth Night" will be played all this week. "The Girl In the Limousine." When Avery Hopwood was younger Channing Pollock helped him to get on his "Clothes." Laat night Mr. Hop-wood performed the unique service of helping a Mr.

Collison present a piece at the Eltinge Theater that should be called "Underclothes. We will not say that even with Mr. Hopwood's help this farce was made really presentable, but it was shown, nevertheless, under the title "The Girl in the Limousine." POPULAR FARCE AT SHUBERT ONCE MORE And Pat Rooney Is Not Far Behind Them in Providing a Lively Show. The biggest hit at the Orpheum last night was made by the United Slates Glee Club, composed of J2 former United States bluejackets, headed by Jerry Swlnford, who sang all the songs of the Navy, as well as a lot of other melodies. The boys looked spick and Bpan in their natty white uniforms, and sang as if they enjoyed it and were having the time of their lives.

The menu song, telling what the sailormen have to eat every day -in the week, was received with roars, of laughter by the big audience. Young Pat Rooney also scored a hit with his songs and dances, full of vim and snap. He brought back memories of his father, the original. I at Rooney, to many of the old timers. He was so well received that he made a short speech saying that he was rehearsing a playlet with a large cast that would be seen at the Orpheum in November.

Charley Grapewln and company in "Jed's Vacation," one of the little farces that he plays so well, scored -heavily and he und his partner and leading lady were recalled many times. Patricola, the pretty singer and vio- lin player, pleased the audience with songs of the harem, Italy, negro melodies, and, in fact, all kinds. She sang. "Mary o' Mine," accompanying her-' self on the violin in a charming and sympathetic manner. She won so many recalls that she was almost ex-, hausted bv her efforts.

The whole bill this week is a very strong one and includes Florenz Ames and Adelaide Winthrop in a laughable, sketch. "Caught in a Jam," In which they display great versatility as sing-, ers, dancers and comedians; Walter Brower, "The Jolly Jester," in stories which he tells with a delightful Southern accent; Lou Miller and Alice Bradford in "All for a Song," and William Hale and brother in a littlo bit of everything, including Juggling, club swinging, balancing and xylophone plaving. The Orpheum News'' Pictorial and Illustrated Topics of the. Times are also on the long and enjoyable program. Montauk Play Has Good Plot, Catchy Music and Is Well Done by Notable Cast.

If you should pass the Montauk Theater this week you might notice a large poster announteing "The Rainbow Girl," on which are the worda "The Best in Twenty Years." if you should see this musical play, you might give the poster a second thought and come to the conclusion that the "twenty-year" business was not so far fetched, after all, 'as the usual broad claims of theatrical advertising may be expected to be. Without passing upon the veracity of. advertisement, one can truthfully say that "The Rainbow Girl" is reminiscent of what were commonly called "comic operas" twenty years ago. And excellent entertainments they were, "The Rainbow Girl" is not such a musical comedy as New York for some years experienced it. It is differentiated when it is called a "musical play." It has a plot that sticks throughout the three acts and hangs together in every scene.

It has music that is tuneful and catchy. It has. comedy. And, finally, it has a real cast that makes of the whole a delightful entertainment Its chorus is not the show itself, but serves in its proper place as a background. Based on a comedy by Jerome K.

Jerome, the play revolves about the marriage of an English Lord to an actress who happens to be playing in London. She does not know he is of the nobility and he does not know she Is of "impossible" birth. They are deeply in love with each other, only to find serious complications when he takes her to live at his ancestral home. The play had an extended run in Manhattan ami comes to Brooklyn with its original notable cast. Grace Walsh sings in the role of the actress-bride.

Mollie Murdock. Billy B. Van is the rough comedian of the piece, and he is a circus when he makes his intermittent appearanoes. Harry Ben-ham is a handsome Lord Wetherell and Sydney Greenstreet a less handsome, but far more amusing personification of an English butler, head of a household of servants. And not the least entertaining of the galaxy are Harry Delf and Leonora Novasio, ciiiionr ihe less-r servants of his lordship's house, wtio are ambitious to get accomplished, but "Friendly Enemies" has a human appeal which has outlived the war and is capable of withstanding even the post-bellum reaction which has already set in.

For where can we find so lovable a character as old Karl Pfeifer, whose faith In the fatherland is only shuttered when his own son is reported a victim of the nefarious machinations of the Oerman secret service chief whom Pfeifer has unwittingly assisted In his work of destruction. Then there is Henry Block, Pfeifer's childhood friend, more practical In his views and ready to prove his loyalty to his adopted country. The latter part is played by Jess Dandy, who handles the difficult role, made famous by Sam Bernard, with a skill and artistry that proves him an actor of superior talent. In fact, the entire cast is better than average. Marie Reichardt, in the role of Marie Pfeifer, is the typical old-fashioned German mother, self-sacrificing and affectionate to both her son and her husband, with a readiness to concede the latter's superiority on every occasion.

June Block, the banker's daughter, Is played by Pam Browning, while the part of William Pfeifer, the son, is taken by Robert Williams. Others in the cast are Alan Hale and Marcelle Nelkin. THE FIFTH AVENUE "The one of the few melodramas ever written by the late Clyde Fitch, is being presented by the Fifth Avenue Players at the Fifth Avenue Theater this week. The play is of a type popular 20 or more years ago, and as it is an excellent example of its school, it still is able to hold an audience. This was proven, last evening, by the reception it received.

JiVfally of the members of the fifth Avenue Stock Company are seen in roles that suit their respective abilities. Mr. McWaters was George Rand Sr Mr. La Cour has the part i Ahe flcnd A new member S. fttmi'C waa 8een.

She was Miss Florence Joyce, the new ingenue Miss Joyce was given a warm welcome by the Fifth Avenue regulars. REMOVED FROM QUEENS. (SpclBl to The Engle.) Albany. October 7 A certificate Jut died with the State Department sets forth that the location of the principal office of the Motor Starter Corporation has been changed from Queen, to Manhattan. The title is a misnomer.

The" girl was in bed. She had a cold at The house was full of guests. Two thugs bring an unconscious man into the girl's bedroom and take away all his clothes except a union suit. That is the starting point. There are less than a dozen people in the farce.

During the course of the evening very few of them keep on their clothes and most of them are in the girl's bedroom at one time or another, usually In pairs. There have been bedroom farces before, but this is altogether a bed farce. -Nothing else matters, except the underclothes. Dress the actors and make the bed and the play would be over. There are a few lines that show wit, and the first act introduced a laughable situation, but it soon lost its humor in plain coarseness and indecency.

"The Girl in the Limousine" should be of service, however. It should bring to a close the era of "bedridden' farces. It bhould produce a reaction In favor of cribs and trundlebeds. If nothing else. And it should lead to the redressing of the stage, especially the male members of the acting profession.

The piece shows all there is to show in a bedroom set. It completely exhausts the possibilities for "Parlor, Bedroom and Bath" Comes Back as Full of Fun as Ever. Fully as vivacious as Florence Moore was when she appeared in "Parlor, Bedroom and Bath" on Broadway, is Edna Ann Luke, who plays Miss Moore's part in the piece at Teller's Shubert this week. "Parlor, Bedroom and Bath" is truly a tale of a wayside inn, and it is a humorous tale, too. C.

W. Bell and Mark Swan are the authors, and they certainly prepared some pretty thin lea for their cast to skate upon. No one uroKe through, however, in spite of numerous precarious cracks that were made. For this boudoir buffoonery, some plot is necessary, and here is the yarn the authors have spun. Angelica living just can't seem to love her husband Reggie unless there are a score of other women interested in him at the same time.

She had married him presuming him to have been sought after by every gii'l in the community. Reggie, who in reality has. no more fascination for the women than he has for the well-known man in the moon, has to make his wife think he has a past, as well as a present, in order to retain her love. -VOLUNTARY DISSOLUTIONS. (Special to The Eagle.) Albany.

October 7 Certificates of voluntary dissolution have been tiled with the Secretary of State by the Hempstead tiar-dena Company and the Center Moriches Transportation Company. THE FLATBUSH Another strong bill is offered for the first half of the week at the Flat-bush Theater. The feature picture is "The Valley of the Giants," a powerful drama of the West, with Wallace Reid In a part well suited to him. Hoey and Fisher earned the applause of last night's audience with their comedy talking nonsense. Nora Kelly and company have a pleasing Irish comedy skit.

Miss Kelly is known as "The Dublin Girl." Clark's Hawalians offer a decldely pleasing diversion, playing the favorite Hawaiian instruments. "Youi" Name Again, Dear," ould have had her shoot herself in the next room or jump from a balcony. Miss A kins cannot resist the lure of the Englishman's technique. The heroine is run down by an automobile and brought back to die while the man whose dishonesty she had nit-covered and disclosed in the first act whispered to her the fact that he had come back once more a decent man and desirous of marrying her. The ending gives the play a proper ironic twist, but it does seem that it could be gained less theatrically.

Zoe proved a hundred times during the evening that she has the genius lhat is equal to doing things without the old tricks of the theater. But Pinero. with all his skill, never hnl the reticence, the ability, to write hincrre. true and subtle dialogue that Akins displays. Khe is far ahead of him.

"Declassee" may not be "the American drama," but It proves that Miss Akins is the one to write It very soon. The first act Ir pure, unadulterated, living drama. The talk is naked, vivid, mordant. A man has been accused of cheating at cards. His hostess is entangled how completely, Zoe Akins is too honest to tell us in his affections.

Her husband has branded hhn in burning words as a cheat, and she forces the husband to apologize abjectly. They play again, and she catches the man in dishonesty herself. He threatens her with ruin if she makes known his perfidy, uml without a word she calls her husband and her guests and admits that she has been mistaken. She Is driven from the house. In the two acts that follow, somewhat slower, less biting acts, we see her as an outcast, living in New York.

V'ntil the very last few moments pps Akins, with a sincerely guided intuition, eschews the theatrical. Not hit of cheapness creeps into the drama, and the dialogue of the characters is vibrant; rich talk that tells the story succinctly and effectively, without ever seeming to strive for effect. Zoe Akins is a poet and a dramatist. She can be almost as witty Wi'de. but shp refuses to let mere w't mar pure drama.

The result, with Ethel Barrymore end knowing cast, is true stage magnificence. We do not expect ever to see better acting than Miss Barry-mores. She has nuance, she has skill Ik so deep-seated that she never has to try to conceal it. She has blood her veins. She never attempts to IMPORTERS SINCE 1866 raws ml tONDON into the "movies."

HiU-hcock's "HiU'hy-Koo."

until the snow comes and goes again. The model of "Hitchy-Koo" is practically the same as the ones that went before. Still there arc certain improvements that make the new model a shade better than the vehicle that has been cast aside. But there is a strong family resemblance between the present and the former machine. All "Hitchy-Koo" Bhows begin nowhere and end in the same place.

It really does not matter when you drop into the Liberty Theater. You will he right there at the beginning of the piece. True, it may not be at the introduction, during the well-known proprietor of "Hitchy-Koo" shows presents his enterftainment to the audience.

ELSIE FERGUSON AT THE STRAND Elsie Ferguson is the screen star at the Brooklyn Strand this week and the film version of A. E. W. well known story, "A Witness for the Defense," gives this popular actress special opportunity for the display of her charm and ability in emotional roles.

The scene shifts from England to India and back again and the pictures of the heroine's home in India and the camp at the edge of the jungle, where the most tragic Incident occurs, were exceedingly good. The story is the more or less familiar one of the poor girl forced by circumstances to give up the man she loves to marry a richer one, but In this instance the husband, who holds a good post under the Government, proves to be a brute ofg exceptional type and a secret drunkard. Of course there is another Englishman interested, who tries to win Stella Ballantyne away from the husband but Is repulsed. Stella tries to kill herself and the rum-crazed husband, In endeavoring to wrest the pistol from her, is accidentally killed.

Sothern and Julia Marlowe began their return engagement at the Shubert last night in "Twelfth Night," with its shipwreck on the coast of Illyria.

The two actors had a warm and hearty welcome. Mr. Sothern confessed frankly in his bit of a speech that they had grown hungry for their return; Malvolio and dience showed that it was 'just as hungry for their return. Malcolio and Viola are the best parts in the repertory of these fine Shakespearean actors, and last night the old magic of Miss Marlowe's tender charm and the exquisite melody of her voice, and of the finely imaginative quality of lr Snthern's humor, resumed their tumes, the usual number of "street" songs, a perfect shower of dances and STOPPERS BY-PRODUC a little bit of humor in the latest model of the show.

The first picture, "A Chinese Dream," arranged by Ben All Hagan, is one of the most effective numbers, and introduces the Oriental atmosphere of the show which prevails through the entire production. Allyn King sings "Shanghai," assisted by the girls, who give an exhibition of Chinese coquetishness that makes a decided hit with the audience. Kee-gan and Edwards have a Jazz number just to make East West for a few moments, but the train is due East again when Frances White appears as a Chinese doll, singing one of those tong tong songs. Fannie Brice gives the surprise of the night when she does a "spring song and dance," burlesquing the dance classics. Miss Briee has another number in which she is assisted by Eddie Cantor.

Other features of the show included W. C. Fields in his amusing juggling act and Savoy and Brennan who have added more conversation to the "I'm Glad You Asked Me" skit.
