At the Denham theater In Denver the stock star sj'stem is being tried this summer. The management hopes i that because of the excessive railroad I rates now in force many stars will be glad of the chancy to make a tour of stock houses instead of carrying their own companies about the country at a 1 prohibitive expense. A circuit of star stock houses may be the outcome of the Denham's movement. Florence Roberts is the first of the stars to appear at the Denham, her plays being "Zaza," "The Strength of the Weak" and "The Claib."

Tho war has not been prolific of good plays. French, Belgian and British, have- lately been produced on the London stage in abundance, "but art has had little to do with them." This ibeing the case the British experience is not very different from our own. Of the many war plays of occasion produced between 18G1 and 1865, not one is easily recalled as holding the stage after peace came. In fact, war dramas are best written in peace. As years pass, as a generation rises that knew not war as a horrid reality of daily life, battles become picturesque and attractive to audiences, while the cooling of passions makes play writing safer for tho dramatist.

He may be challenging memories, but he is not likely to challenge men, "Held by the Enemy" and tho "Heart of Maryland," two of our most popular war plays, were put on the stage when the audiences could not possibly include as large contingents of dangerously critical veterans as would hav greeted tho dramatist 10 years before. Perhaps still better plays of our civil war are yet to be written in the days when it will be so far off that art can have its say "without regard to party lines." By that test the war plays London Is going to seo fail, and not alone by that test onlr. "When London is regarded by a play that turns on tho destruction of the German battleship fleet by Sir John Jellicoe's command it is moved to say sarcastically, "First catch our German fleet." Laurette Taylor celebrated her one thousandth performance as Peg in "Peg My Heart" on May 31 at the Globe theater, London With the possible exception of "Potash and Perl-mutter," the play has scored the biggest success of the London season That the London theaters may all be closed is the report just icceived here from Laurette Taylor, who has been playing all season in "Peg 0' My Heart Miss Taylor is to appear here next fall under tho management of Klaw and Erlanger and George C. Tyler, and it was to Mr. Tyler that Miss Taylor sent tho report of the prospective closing order "The lat-ost news," said Miss Taylor, "is that in tho near future the theaters will all be closed I learned this on applying at the Carlton for permission to give a dance.

They told me that a license could be obtained for dancing only up to 2:00 a. that the authorities wished everyone to be home these nights, and that presently, owing to the likelihood of Zeppelin raids, It Is tho intention to close all places of amusement" This circumstance will undoubtedly hasten Miss Taylor's return to this country New York Mirror. Harold Orlob, the composer of "The Red Canary," which was produced at the Lyric theater last spring, is writing the music for Ned "Wayburn's musical revue "Town Topics." Svhich will open the Century theater as a music hall. New York Mirror. By special invitation, Felice Lyne, the American opera singer, recently spent a morning at ex-Queen Lilluo-kalani's residence in Washington square, Honolulu and sang several songs.

The former queen gave tho little singer an autographed copy of her own composition, "Aloha Oe," and also taught her the pronunciation of the native words. As she sang in the music room it was a pathetic sight to see the old queen's retainers, who have been In her service since monarchal times, peering in at the doors and windows to hear this song of their beloved sovereign. LilliuokalanI is now 70 years of age, but is very active and carries her years lightly. "10 PAYS?" Pays," at the Tsis theatre, Sunday and Monday. The eighth series of the popular and fascinating photoplay, "Who Pays," in which is told the story of a girl who flirted with time and was jilted and to a man who gambled with fate and lost.

Also of the frailty of things mortal, and of life, the exacting task-master. The story as told by this great photoplay, featuring Ruth Roland and Henri-King, deals with, the irresponsible daughter of an oil magnate, who, through her wilful spoiled, extravagant life, ruins her father and disgraces her lover, her father's most reliable man, forever, the picture portrays the burning of large oil wells, discontented employes and the final ruin of a most indulgent parent. "Unfounded Jealousy, a two-reel feature by the Pathe film incorporation, is the best of that film's production for some time, the story deals with the yellow demon, Jealousy, wherein a married woman Is extremely jealous of her sister, and tries to cause an accident and her sister's death by chance her own child is placed upon the same horse who runs away and is about to leap over a cliff when through the heroic effort of the father the child is saved at the brink of the cliff and horse and girl go over to depth's unknown. It is anticipated that this excellent program will crowd the Isis to capacity Sunday and Monday. Advertisement.

nr CISSY LOFTUS HAS NEW STARRING VEHICLE. Cissy Loftus appears to have at last found a suitable starring vehicle In "Enterprising Helen," a comedy by Francis Coutts, In which she is playing to excellent business As to the story of the play. Enterprising Helen has fallen in love with Charles Ci anbury, a young city man, whose friend, Ernest Sinclair, a dramatic author, is married to a sweet and charming girl. Mrs. Sinclair leaves her husband owing to the receipt of an anonymous letter written by Lady Dollary.

wife of Sir Daniel Dollary, who had previously been in love with Sinclair, but threw him over In favor of the rich, company-promoting knight. Associated with Sir Daniel Is Don Louis del Panza, a Portuguese financier, who admires Helen Grant, and wishes to marry her. She, however, refuses him. In the end, through her Ingenuity, the anonvmous letter Is traced to Its author, the sequel being that Sinclair's wife is restored to him and Helen marries the man of her choice. Hell, wo are told, knows no fury llko a woman scorned, and If Lady Dollary bad been jilted by Sinclair her course of action could be explained.

But here is a woman who has herself cast-off a man in order to marry some one with money, and who then sets herself out to ruin the hau-plness of her former loVer and his young wife, all the while posing as their best friend. Tho hurried depart- imtsttI uie of the loving and trustful wife irom her home, without asking for the slightest explanation fiom her husband, has also to be added to the im possibilities. While on this part of tho plot, it may be pointed out that the end of the second act requires alteration and im-pioement. "My God! She's left me," exclaims Sinclair, as he sinks on a sofa with his wile's letter in his hand, and as the curtain fell on Monday laughter mingled with, and almost piedominated over, the applause. The author has here unwittingly stepped on the wrong side of the thin line which often diwdes the pathetic from the ridiculous.

nn ZELDA SEARS AUTHOR Zelda Sears, who is to be featuied with George Sidney in Selwyn Company's production of "The Show Shop," the James Forbes comedy which goes on tour next season, has responded to tne demand of managers for "plays made in America," with a four-act play called "The Heart of a Child," made from the book of the same name by Frank Danby "The Heart of a Child" will have its preliminary presentation at Ashbury Pari: on July 23, with Kathleen Clifford in the leading role. Miss Sears, herself, will play a part in the trial performance. Other members of the cast, who will be seen in the play when it opens in New York In Sep-' tember, are Fraser Coulter, Edwin Wilson, Mabel Carruthers, Alethea Luce, Lillian Brennard, Catharine Calhoun and Earle Mitchell. Miss Sears, whose long association with Clyde Fitch Is recalled by the appearance of her first play, will be her own stage director. She says that all she knows of acting, as well as of stage directing, she learned from Mr.

Fitch, In the days when she used to type his plays for him because she was the only person in the world who could decipher his handwriting. Miss Sears plays a "stage mother" who turns "stage director" in "The Show Shop," and some of her most amusing situations in the Forbes comedy turn on the fact that she is a director of great determination, great ambition, and no notion of ever getting tired.

I Theda Bara in "The Clemenceau Case," as Iza Thcda Bara. the beautiful and bril- llantly talented leading woman of the Playhouse of Thrills, the Theater Antoine. Paris, has never been seen to better ad- vantages than as Iza. In tho picture play based on Alexandre Dumas' novel, "The Clemenceau Case," "Iza is one of those women born Incapable of love, but with a feverish do-slro for admiration," declares Miss Bara. 'Her treatment first of the unfortunate Pierre, at whose hands sho meets her end, and later of RItz Constantln, and a long line of other victims, is merely tho logical outcome of her nature.

She differs radically from the Vampire woman, who was utterly devoid of soul and pos- scssed only of a vicious lust to destroy. Tza has a love of beautiful things She likes dimly lit rooms, tho bof swish of oriental draperies, bizarre music and ultra-futuristic art. My study of the character convinces me that Iza was not essentially evil. It was her love of the beautiful, paradoxical as that may pear, that made her a Vampire of a vastly superior intellect. "I think of Iza as an analyst, a woman who sedulously studied all her love affairs and the character of the men whom she made her victims.

How otherwise account for her sudden strange returnjf affection for Pierre after she had blasted his life and ruined caieer? In the stul'g scenes whore Pierre first cxperio' her fatal fascination, Iza has not, so speak, yet tasted blood She has all tk Instincts of a vampire smoldering latent within her, but she has not yet allowed them to got the better of her 0n thoy however, they burn llko a consuming flame scorching all with whom they come in contact Sometimes I pity Iza, sometimes I hate her. "At her best she is a beautiful woman infatuated with the swift, deep currents of life and love. At her worst she te appalling, capable of anything, a creature to make the blood run cold. Endowed as she Is with a superhumanly acute brain, her restless soul drives her on irresistibly to audacity after audacity She defies every decent convention. In the decoration of her rooms, the soft.

heavy scnt of incense that hangs ovtr them, the distoi ted Idols grinning put of the purole shadows, the monstrou5 python that she cherishes as a pet aiJJ embraces as If it were not the most evil of reptiles, loflcct Iza's character. Her end is what the end of an Iza in rl life would have been may have been, to fact the quick striking vengeanco of obi of her Infatuated victims."
