I "March Hares" Music of the Day The Theaters Bi EDWARD AJtTHUR POLL0CK Mayor Walker, Colli Mavor Walker has accepted the role of Collie for the Lambs' annual troiic to be held on April 29, and the Lambs are delighted. The program will include the names ol practically all the prominent Lambs now playing in or near New York. As usual, the sketches will be selected from the best of those given during the past winter at the private gambols, with the addition of a number of new ones. In "Bottled," an Unassuming Comedy at the Booth Theater, Three Worms Turn and Catch Their Persecutor Bootlegging. OTTLKD is a play alxmi three worms that turned The Gabrilov Ballet Moderne at the Callo Theater A Debut in Carnegie Hal.

THERE is at least one good dancer among the sixty-odd who make up Alexander Gabrilov's company. About the others we are less certain. The troupe appears oddly assorted neophytes of toe-technique range by the side of soft-shoe experts, the latter culled, one imagines, from the vaudeville agencies of Broadway. Among these contortionists a curious disorder prevails. The skeleton of design is apparent occasionally in what they do, but synchronization has not been achieved, and from this distraction results.

Viewed individually, the members of the company strike one as adequate ballet material; their concerted efforts, however, are not beguiling. nt them and grandmother to deal of money. They caught the righteous old lady bootlegging in the end oi.ci forced $75,000 from her. She was a pretty well-imagined character, the were. too.

and all the members of so the new play by Anne Collins and Alice Timoney. coming to the Bootn Theater last night, did much to make the evening a pleasant one. Progressing not altogether by leaps and bounds, pausing often to be loo Indulgent in the matter of permitting its characters to talk at length and to little purpose. "Bottled" cannot quite avoid being a bore occasionally. it Harry Wagetaff Gribble Satire at Theater.

And yet there clings to its characters respect. Old lady McMullin borders on being an achievement in character drawing and the others are true enough for all purposes, truer by ir than the men and women who people eight out of ten of the plays i that Tight their way futilely into Broadway theaters. They have. too. the advantage of interpretation by m-tors who.

though you may have heard little of them before, know wrmt is expected of in honestly written plavs and have the facuincs and the facilities for doing it. It is a comic tale they help to tell, its amusing qualities adulterated by the slow pace at which it is written and played, but bursting out. nevertheless, now and then despite the handicap of a lack of friskiness in the authors. The plot, though well planned, is not expert, by a good deal. Old ladv McMullin has raised her cld-maid 'daughter, her shiftless, mid-cile-aged son and her sprightly little granddaughter with an iron, cruel and nuiie righteous hand.

Mary Lou. the girl, is coming of age in the first act and her grandfather's will that day is read. He ran for many years prosperous distillery, the wealth of which the daughter, son and granddaughter now expect to inherit. They have looked forward to spending freely, since they have never been used to nionev; they have even borrowed already, 'intending this day to pay. But thev find when the will is read it.

is the distillery alone they have inherited and not a cent in cash. And who. in these days, wants a dis-ullerv? Hard old Ellen McMullin has pocketed all the money the distillery earned before Prohibition. The distillery, however, is loaded to the window sills with good whisky. I for the McMulIins made the best Kentucky.

The disappointed heirs hence have an idea. They will, while the old one is not looking, sell several thousand dollars worth of it and give Ilujr Set. rPTTP-DTnic Wi In Adfsntr Bhy al 44 St. MM. in tt 3.00.

Notes of Plays and Players.

p-yHE MANSFIELD THEATER, at which "Present Arms" is to be offered, la fortnight hence, Is undergoing a process of renovation and prepara-tion. as well as a change of name, for hereafter the electric signs will announce to the world that this playhouse is to be known as the Lew Fields Cl'HING ent will make itself known as the sea son of this Ballft Mooerne progresses. Meanwhile, Mr. Larsen and Mr. Gabrilov may be watched with interest, and the music is not bad.

The ballets unfold to a melange of Dukes, Glli.ka, Tcherepnine, Rossini. Dvorak, Rim- Korsakow, Kreisler. Chopin. Grainger, Hoist, and lesser men, and the orchestra functions under the direction of Eugene Fuerst. The American Society for Cultural Relations with Russia presented Naoum Blinder, a young violin virtu oso, in an American debut recital at I tnrnetiie nan last evening.

iii. ami-tier displayed virtues of tone and technique that place him well above the average fiddler, though insufficient at the moment to account him among the great. He played music by-Bach Tartini, Chausson and shorter pieces by a variety of composers a program conventional enough to permit attention to the manner of its rendition. Precisely what Mr. Blinder lacks we find it difficult to say his style, perhaps, is insufficiently individual and assured, his address is without bonafide brilliance.

Yet one listened with pleasure to his musician-ly treatment of several works. He wis accompanied by Valentine Pav-lcwsky. OTHER MUSIC. A "second performance of "Robin Hood" took place at the Brooklyn Little Theater last evening. Some changes of cast enlivened the proceedings the Robin Hood, for in stance, was none other than Ralph Brainard, who played a production of former days.

As Sir Guy of Gis- borne, Richard Hochfelder, a young Brooklyn tenor, made a favorable debut. Henry Ramsey appeared as Friar Tuck and Harold Wollenhaupt as Little John, the more stalwart of Robin Hood's confederates. Other roles were filled as on Monday night. The performance again found favor with an audience of fair numbers. "Robin Hood'' will be repeated tonight, tomorrow night and Saturday afternoon.

Those confessing to a weakness for De Koven's merry tunes will do well to patronize Mr. Mus-sey's enterprise on one of these occasions. R. Z. To Speak on Duncan Edith Yynne Matthlson will Journey to New York from Millbrook, where she is now living, to take part in the Augustin Duncan Tribute on April 16.

at the Klaw Theater. She will speak in appreciation of Duncan's work in the American theater, and will present the tribute which is being planned by an extensive committee of the director's friends. She will be introduced by Walter Hampden, honorary chairman of the celebration. Her husband. Charles Rann Kennedy, who is a member of the Actor Committee of the Tirbute.

will be present. Miss Matthison was Invited to make the presentation speech because of her long friendship and association with Augustin Duncan, with whom she has served on the Council of Equity and in the Actors' Theater, of which she was the first director, and also because she has stood for the same idealism and non-commercialism in the theater as has Duncan during his entire career of nearly 35 years. The Augustin Duncan Tribute Is to be held immediately after the opening nerformance of J. C. and Elliott Nugent's play, "The Breaks." with which Duncan makes his re-entrance into the ranks of directors after a period of absence caused by hit becoming blind nearly a year ago.

The New "Scandals" With George White and William K. Wells en route to Europe, where both will collaborate on skits for the forthcoming edition of "Scandals" while White inspects scenery and cos tumes in London and Paris. Bud De Svlva, Ray Henderson and Lew Brown are at work In New York pre paring the music and lyrics for the same extravaganza. White and Wells will return to America in a fortnight, when the five authors will get together to put the finishing touches to what win emerge as tne nnun mmum i-tion of GeoraeWhite's The show will open in Atlantic City early In June and come to the Apollo a week or so thereafter, in tne mean time. Ed Wynn will finish out the sea son in "Manhattan Mary at tne Apollo and then take a long vacation.

Guild Signs Miss Risdon Elizabeth Risdon has been engaged by the Theater Guild to play In its touring repertory company next season. Miss Risdon will play roles in "Ned McCobb's Daughter." "The Doctor's Dilemma. rhe Second Man" and "John Ferguson." all of which will be carried In the repertoire of the com pany. EDISON GLEE CLUB IN SPRING CONCERT The Drooklyn Edison Club presented the spring concert of Its glee club with 60 mixed voices last night at Ihe Academy of Music. An Impressive program was given by Ihe Edison singers and assisting artists b-fnrc an audience of almost 1 000.

It will be the theatrical home where wil be presented all future musical productions made by this successful producer and his allied creators. Herbert Fields, Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart. Further and intensive rehearsal may lend form to this chaos, but this Is a matter of no immediate concern.

The current program designed by Mr. Gabrilov comprises some eight ballets and divertissements. The more a.yibitious of these include "Her Majesty's Escapade." "Pancake Day in Russia." "Grecian Rhapsody'' and "Manhattan Holiday." Herem are to os recognized reminiscences of "Petruschka," "L'Apres-Midi d'un Faune." the living statuary of circus dty. the Tiller Girls and the Metropolitan's "Skyscrapers." They piove otherwise puerile inventions, lacking imagination both in creation and execution. A "Bas-Reiief from the "Grecian Rhapsody has tne most soporific effect, presenting a semi-rude male personnel in a series of -low -motion acrobatics and lighted with a discretion that renders half the proceedings invisible.

Better is clone bv the plastic posers "who toil on the Mutual wheel. Last evening Mr. Gabrilov himself adorned "Seven Kids, a Cat and a and the "Tragedy of a Faun. Bv no means the least proficient of his ensemble, he nevertheless did not cause one to deplore his modesty in appearing only twice during the course oi the program. Strangely enough, the men of the company were superior in their profession to the womenthe reverse of the usual case in ballet dancing.

Mr. Gabrilov seems to have gone to some length to equip his venture with tall and angular nymphs of uncertain grace. Foremost among these one espied Margaret Rutherford, a daughter of Mrs. W. K.

Vanderbilt and the wife of Sir Paul Dukes, composer, secret agent and what-not in the service of esthetics and the Crown. But. as we took care to intimate at the start, the company boasts one good dancer. Identified on the program as Sven Larsen, his zestful and dexterous antics softened the inadequacy of "Her Majesty's Escapade." "Pancake Day in Russia" and "Manhattan Holiday." Dowered with grace, i gility and a sense of rhythm, he held the attention whenever upon the stage. Perhaps other and latent tal The New Film I MARTIN DICKSTEIN "Skyscraper," a Low Comedy on a High Scale at the Paramount Theater.

runAvionMr theater "Skvscraner." a Paramount picture directed by Howard lltgHIin Irom the atory by Dudley Murpliy. THE CAST. Bloiidv. a steel riveter William Boyd Slim, his buddy Alan Hale Sally, a chorus girl Sue Carol Jane Alberta Vaughn What starts out at the Paramount Ihis week to be a rather interesting cinematic observation of the emotions, or the lack of them, of that intrepid human, the steel riveter, soon turns into the channels of mediocre comedy. This photoplay at the Publix stronghold is called "Skyscraper'' and, appropriately enough, it has to do v.ith the astounding peregrinations of iion workers, as perched on the lolty Birders of some skeleton structure, they coolly go about their hazardous chores.

Such a subject as thus might well have furnished the basis for a more serious, and incidentally a more important, movie than that which traipses across the screen at the Paramount. The theme dees not appear compatible, for example, with the lowly comedie effort in which one of the riveters tosses a red hot bolt Into the trousers pocket of an unsuspecting companion, nor does the pitcure gain eilectiveness by the Introduction of a couple of rounds of movie fisticuffs high, high above the pavement. it is said thai "Skyscraper" was conceived lrom a story by Dudley Murphy, the imaginative and ingenious creator of "Ballet Mecanlque." How far the completed film has departed from the original outline must be left to the imagination, but there is at least some room for doubt contending the author's part in the silly Incidents which make up the major portion of the picture. William Boyd and Alan Hale never OUite succeed at their jobs cf portraying a believable pair of steel workers, while Rue Carol, who bohs up In various romantic attitudes, plays decora-tively but Paul Whltenian apd his nrclv.tra continue to provide t'te stage nt the Paramount, appearing this week in a John Murrrr' Anderson concoction called "Knick Knacks."

As usual, speeches followed speeches, with the majority of the hard-working convention-attenders out spree-ing. We. unfortunately, were slated to speak, and it is a well-known fact that about the only birds that stick convention speeches out are the speakers themselves. 3heer courtesy demands that you stick around and listen to the hems and hav of the birds who have had to listen to yours. Anyway, what we're trying to tell you is that we were there and that the outstanding paper of the convention was read by John B.

Dr. Watson told of a psychologicaj tes had made with cigarette smokers who claimed they were confirmed adherents to stated brands. If we recall the figures, of 16 men addicted to specific brands, not one of them, in 11 blindfold tests, was able to distinguish the cigarette that he had been smoking anywhere from four to eight years. Almost all of them were able to distinguish between Turkish and American tobacco, but that was as far as the thing went. Hence, we are tickled to a de-imhtful cerise to note the newly innovated advertising campaign a well-known cigarette, which the boys and girls how sat down and between sips of black coffee and assorted cig-iiret'es.

"THE OUTSIDER." Merely to refresh your memory, the "Outsider." which re-premiered at the Ambassador Monday night, is the same Lionel Atwill-ian "Outsider' which opened here four years or so ago. with Katherine Cornell in the leading femme role. At that time you may or may not recall, this play's successful run was nipped in the more or less bud. by the second actors' strike. Isobel Elsom is playing the part Katherine Cornell portrayed here, which also happens to be the part that she.

herself, created In the London production. For them as likes a little mental exercise with their opuses, you can take it from this department that the "Outsider" Is an interesting show.
