NEWS AND NOTES OF PEAYS AND PLAYERS. Whenand Why They Laugh Since last October Lenore Ulric has h«en impersonating one of the most pathetic figures of the stage, Rose Bo- don, the Frtnch-Canadian heroine of Tiger Rose." The story told on the Lyceum boards daily is a serious one. The sorrows of its central figure never itil to make an audience weep. " Yet *tw attractions in New York incite so aneh laughter.

In Michael Devlin he created an Irish¬ man in possession of keen wit and an irresistible tendency to share it with those whose lives he touches. The big, swaggering Northwest Mounted police¬ man entertains an opinion of his per¬ sonal charms and infallibility that is the source of constant amusement to the onlooker. Never through the play is this more evident than at the be¬ ginning of the second act, when Rose realizes that the man whom Michael Devlin has set jrut to hunt down for murder is her lover. With quick wit she parries with the conceited redcoat for both time and information, but in the Irishman she finds an instinct and discernment equal to her own. Grasp¬ ing an advantage, born of his suspicion that Rose has a personal interest in the fugitive from justice, Devlin speedily forces his attentions upon the girl. In the matter of an exaggerated sense of humor and clever repartee he finds his match. The broken English and mixed pro¬ nouns of Pierre La Bey, as well as the same quaint speech of the ¡?torm-tossed little heroine of "Tiger Rose," as they run through the length of the play are another source 4of amusement, as is also the naïveté of the girl in her atti¬ tude toward life arid love. An interest- ing example of this is her answer to Bruce Norton's question as to why she should love him. "Because you are my man," Rose makes her answer without hesitation. The thing that brings the heartiest laughter is the fluent swearing of Rose. Conscious of her cleanliness and held by the force and beauty of her love, audiences beome hilarious when ready profanity ripples unconsciously from Miss Uiric's lips. The very uncon¬ sciousness of it on the part of Rose but accentuates the ludicrous effect, as is several times evidenced in her per¬ fectly serious replies to the Jesuit priest who is concerned with her soul's welfare; when she gives her promise to study her catechism and "stop swear¬ ing" in such language as "Sure as hell I willl" » Ethel Barrymore to Metro Ethel Barrymore, the celebrated dramatic star, having completed a brill¬ iant season of stage successes at the Empire Theatre, New York, will return at once to her motion picture activities under the auspices of the Metro Pict¬ ures Corporation, the only firm with which she has been identified. Richard A. Rowland, Metro's president, has se¬ cured for Miss Barrymore the screen rights to her famous play of a season ago, "Our Mrs. McChesney," which was dramatized by George V. Hobart and Edna Ferber from the famous Emma McChesney stories by Miss Ferber, in¬ cluding "Roast Beef Medium," "Per¬ sonality Plus" and "Butter Side Down." AMUSEMENTS AMUSEMENTS Mat.

The play has Louis Mann and Sam Bernard, and Mathilde Cot- trelly and Felix Krembs are in the iast. "Friendly Enemies" will be in¬ troduced to New York about the middle of August at the Hudson Theatre.

Under the title of "Out of Hell," "My Boy" won considerable success In London last fall. Its scenes are laid in Eng¬ land and Germany. "Under Orders," Marjorie Rambeau's new starring vehicle, is also a drama of the war, adapted by Roi Cooper Megrue from the French of -Henri Kistemaekers. Its action occurs in the hall of a chateau near the front. Also in the class of war plays, whose specific theme is the Liberty Loan, is "Come Across," a play in three acts by Max Radin. Mr. Woods will introduce Hazel Dawn in a new farce,'entitled "Dolly of the Follies," by Hilliard Booth. This will be Miss Dawn's first appearance in straight comedy. John Mason, Homer Mason and Walter Jones will enact the leading rôles.

Cuddles has been signed by the Fa- mous Players-Lasky Company, and has left New York for the Lasky studios in California. A Little White Door at Trixie's Leads to Nippon In Trixie Friganza's beautiful home at Bensonhurst, L. I., there is a little white door, spotlessly white. On it, done in old brass, is a heavy Japanese character, and immediately below it, also in brass, is the following, appar¬ ently a translation: "Nippon." This door is always closed. And no one may enter without Miss Friganza, For, as the delightful comedienne ex¬ plains: "It is the fulfilment of my greatest desire, and I am superstitious enough to want to be always the first to cross its threshold." That's all there is of mystery about it. If you have pleased Miss Friganza in some way, she may open the little white door and lead you in. Where¬ upon you will see a large, private col¬ lection of Japanese bibelots. It is a big room, extremely big, which one would never guess judging by the little white door, and it is packed, every inch of space, with a dazzling and price¬ less collection of gorgeously embroid- ered tapestries, kimonos, obis, sandals, veils, fans, sunshades, ivory carvings dating back to ancient days of proud Samurai, exquisite sandalwood boxea decorated in barbarian colors and do- signs, remarkable creations of the Oriental silversmith's art, damascened swords and battle implements, floor and wall mattings of curious and historical pattern; elephants, the Orient's good luck omen, done in silver and gold and ebony in bewildering array; Japanese prints of rare execution, wonderful period vases exquisitely colored, curios indescribable of a thousand and one different kinds. The ceiling is gold, and Miss Friganza's eye was upon the workmen when they covered it with the gold leaf. As one turns to leave one sees a brass Japanese character on the little white door.Sayonara. Directly beneath it is the translation."doodby."

It is a big room, extremely big, whichone would never guess judging by thelittle white door, and it is packed, everyinch of space, with a dazzling and price¬less collection of gorgeously embroid-ered tapestries, kimonos, obis, sandals,veils, fans, sunshades, ivory carvingsdating back to ancient days of proudSamurai, exquisite sandalwood boxeadecorated in barbarian colors and do-signs, remarkable creations of theOriental silversmith's art, damascenedswords and battle implements, floor andwall mattings of curious and historicalpattern; elephants, the Orient's goodluck omen, done in silver and gold andebony in bewildering array; Japaneseprints of rare execution, wonderfulperiod vases exquisitely colored, curiosindescribable of a thousand and one
different kinds. The ceiling is gold,and Miss Friganza's eye was upon theworkmen when they covered it with thegold leaf.As one turns to leave one sees a brass
