'SHAMROCK" AT MARY-LAND.
Alice Thornton and Gil Squires have taken a barrel of fun called "In the Swim" and filled it with their individual talents, and as is pretty generally known Squires and Miss Thornton have great ability as singers, dancers and conversational comedians. "In the Swim" has a plot of course— it is not very robust. There is just enough of it to hold together the bits of fun in song and dance, but what there is of it has to do with a romance by the sad sea waves and while the sea waves may be sad, everybody else who has anything to do with Alice Thornton and Gil Squires in "The Swim" is very happy.
"A Lesson for Wives" is a novelty playlet satirizing motion pictures. S. Jay Kaufman, the author, takes a series of interesting situations in the lives of a young couple and compares the manners in which they actually work themselves out in real life. Ac-

tual motion pictures, especially scenerized and acted, are used i nthe sketch for purposes of illustration. "A Lesson for Wives" is played by an excellent company headed by Mr. and Mrs. Norma nPhillips. Prominent in the case is Norman Phillips, Jr., generally known as "The Kid Comedian." This youngster is said to be the youngest comedian on the stage. He is only five years old. He has all the abilities of a veteran player. He is a histrionic child protege. The skit is by S. Jay Kaufman, author of "Highlawbrows," "Tis and Tisn't" and "Kisses," and is a well known pournalist. His column, "The Man About Town," was a feature of the New York Globe for a number of years, and is now a prominent factor in the New York Evening Telegram.
In appearance Margie Clifton may be compared to some classic statue. Her lines are a sperfect as those any sculptor might chisel in marble. She i sas near physical perfection a sit is possible for any human to be. Her partner is a fine example of muscular and gymnastic development, and Miss Clifton and her partner truthfully present classical poses and balancing. The poses are in the extreme. The balancing is difficult and dexterously and gracefully done.

ERNEST TRUEX IN "NEW TOYS" AT FORDS.
Ernest Truex will be seen in a new comedy by Milton Grop-per and Oscar Hammerstein, 2nd, entitled "New Toys," under the direction of Sam H. Harris at Ford's on Monday evening.
The announcement that Ernest Truex will appear in a new comedy is calculated to* arouse a vast deal of interest in theatregoers. Mr. Truex's last appearance was under the Harris banner in "Six Cylinder Love" in which he appeared during (the past three years} with great success. "New Toys" is a story of every day married life amusingly projected, with enough comedy situations, heart interest and pathos to keep the audience intrigued to the final curtain. "New Toys" depicts a young" couple who have been married a year and a half. They- have a baby. And now that the glamour of the honeymoon has worn off they both awake to the practical responsibilities of married life. They have reached a quietus to their esteem and affection and they wonder if their lives will continue in the same monotonous trend indefinitely. The young wife feels that she must have some form of self-expression and a stage career, seems to her, a way to give vent to this fueling. The young husband fels that his way of varying the routine of married life is to meet another girl and indulge in a flirtation. After each has tried his individual ideas they realize that their matrimonial bonds, their love for their baby and for each other is so strong that it engulfs them and they cease to struggle, but are happy in a new and complete understanding. As is usual with all productions sponsored by Mr. Harris "New Toys" scenic equipment is of the best and Mr. Truex has been surrounded with an exceptionally fine cast. "New Toys" has been staged by Sam Forrest.

MRS. LESLIE CARTER AT AUDITORIUM.
I am going to tell how I made a telephone book cover.
I got a third of a yard of black oilcloth at fifty cents a yard and cut it to fit the telephone book, allowing two inches on each side to fold back on the wrong side to hold the book. Then I took a punch and punched holes me-half inch apart all the way around after turning back the ends. Then I got some wool and a big needle and laced it together in the holes. Then I took a stencil anrT painted on leaves and a flow r.

No more representative Broadway attraction with a brilliant star could be booked for this city during the early days of the new year than Mrs. Leslie Carter in a dramatization of Olive Higgins Prouty's novel, "Stella Dallas,'! by Gertrude Purcell and Harry Wagstaff Gribble, which comes to the Auditorium*' for one week, commencing Monday, January 14, with matinees Wednesday and Saturday. If
f.r the dramatic interest and book lovers of Baltimore and vicinity was stirred up*, it is over Manager McLaughlin's announcement of the Selwyn's production of Mrs. Carter's vehicle. Although touched with a quality of humor, the role of Stella Dallas provides Mrs. Carter with rich opportunities for the emotional acting which has made her famous. Stella is a big-hearted woman whose marriage is unfortunate chiefly because she and the husband comes from a contrasted environment and cannot reconcile the views^ of life. Stella is light hearted and pleasure loving. Her husband is serious minded. They separate. Their one child, a daughter, alternately spends some time with bith father and mother. The child is devoted to both of them. And Stella Dallas idolises her.
The break comes an dStella Dallas makes a supreme sacrifice for the daughter's sake, showing the mother love. The situation is poignant in the story and as acted by Mrs. Carter is moving in the extreme.
