ON BROADWAY! | Constance, Charley, Mary, Sam, Irene, Sophie, Ted and Alice on the Job BY PAUL M. SARAIZAN. NEW YORK, Feb. 12—The invas ion of WaU-st. into the theatrical world was checked this week when the invasion of Riverside-dr. slipped twen ty million dollars’ worth of society girls into the chorus of “Who’s Next?” a society play that promises to raise much lucre in behalf of char ity. This musical comedy is due to run two weeks at the Princess Thea ter. Provided the costumes in act two can hold together for 14 days, the show will probably last that long. Maybe it was Constance Talmadge’s fault that the new York debbies (this s a high - brow word meaning deb- ■ utante) wanted to become chorus girls. In “Two * Weeks,” Con stance’s latest pic- |j ture, which played ■ at the Strand, the If » life of a chorus girl § is brought out A most fascinatingly. Gracious!. Just think of a dainty chorus miss in a country home with I— three men for two weeks and all AUC£ BffADY the men bachelors! Twas a delightful situation and that kind of a picture. The head waiter bowed low to this miss. And 20 minutes later she was wringing out her own stockings-—in the picture, of course. • • • In a musical wa /, Mary Garden in her “Melisande,” warbled into the hearts of the Five Hundred, while Same Bernard and Irene Bardoni, in “As You Were,” a whangdoodle jazz play, sounded mighty good to the Five Million. “Melisande” is something that the I critics write five columns about. “As You Were” is a musical comedy that , tells how a pie-maker took pills that wafted him back into bygone ages. I Naturally he met Cleopatra, Helen of Troy and other celebrities. After the I effect of the pills wore off he found it wasn’t such an irrational world af ter all.

Sophie with her five syncophated monarchs and overdone Yiddish by-play, has organized a new act that opened at Keith’s Alhambra. “One year with Sophie Tucker,” she states, pointing to her nasal-ton ed cornetist, “and he rides in his own limousine.” ■ We have always known Sophie was modest. Ted Lewis is working on different lines. After five years of jazz suc cess in Gotham, Ted has given warn ing that he will jump freight trains to Philadelphia, where he will open at the Schubert Theater. It was five years ago that Ted came to New York, he states, without a dime in his pocket. He’s going to leave the same way in order not to change his luck. * » * These moving pictures about scan dal papers are get ting popular, j HU This time it is ’’ 3 Alice Brady in | » “The Fear ‘ Mar- ket,” her latest : Realart Picture, j who decides to put I a stop to society! , , folks paying bribes !
