TO ADOLPH PHILIPP, GERMAN PLAYWRIGHT, BROADWAY LOOKS FOR ANOTHER SENSATION

To Adolf Philipp, a comparative newcomer in things theatrical in this country, some dramatic reviewers are looking for next season’s sensation on Broadway. Mr. Philipp is a na¬ tive German actor, playwright, and song writer and was catapulted into the limelight last season when his “Alma, wo wohnst du?” was pre¬ sented New York, Chicago, and other of the larger cities. “Alma,” it will be remembered, narrated a very broad story and “got by” with the police only as long as it was kept in the Ger¬ man language. Indeed, in Chicago, after an engagement at the Chicago Opera House, the nlay in German was barred when a return date was attempted. The English translation stirred up a howl of protest in New York. “Therese, Don’t Be Angry” is the new Philipp play which is expected to arouse comment next season. It is a musical farce, employing about twelve people and no chorus. “The Girl’s Name Is Adele,” “The Woman Who Likes to Laugh,” and “The Bank Cashier,” are other plays which the German author, flushed with the success of “Alma,’ will produce. The accompanying pictures show Mr. Philipp first as a boy of fifteen when he made his stage debut in Schiller’s “Robbers” in Berlin; sec¬ ond, at the age of twenty-five, when he played Simon in “The Beggar’s Student” in New York, and third as he is today.
