THEATRICAL PLANS
DNAFFECTED'BYTHE
EUROPEAN WAR
Audiences, Hopefully In
creasing, Indicate Passing
of Depression Forecast of
Coming Amusements.
Laughter and tears, Joy and grlcf-of
lho are tho vital liouis of life. Work
nilay lmmnn cxlatenco too often runs
along with humdrum monotony, with no
relief of Keen laughter or weeping; for
truly supremo Joys and tragedies aro
rare In tho span of tho Individual life.
Therefore, It la well tho huindum, tho
regular lythm, should ho broken. If vica
riously, hy parta-MiiB In tho mimic play
of the eternal comedy In all tta phases
on tho stago.
Drama and romance ato perpetual In
their uppcal to tho heart of man und
woman, for they aro verily tho lcaven
lns elements of our ofton drab and dreary
days. Head novels, go to seo plays
you will Hvo all tho moro koenly, work tho
more cfflclenUy, think tho moro clear
ly. Get away from tho everyday: rise
from the rut of mcclianicai wonting ana
eating and thinking and be refreshed with
the tnerrinmnt or sadness of tho novel
and tho play. 1'iom Shakcspearo to Gus
Thomas Sophocles to Bernnrd Shaw, Ar
istophanes to George M. Cohan, humanity
has laughed and wept, and escaped the
tedium of life's routine, through the mim
icry of tho mime. If your llfo Is Joy
ous, It Is well to enter Into tho temper
ing simulation of human borrow: If In
trouble If worried by your own dim
ctiltles.'you can fuither study tho prob
lems of nodal life, domestic llfo and
business llfo on tho stago; If you aro in
sorrow, you can then submcrgo your dis
appointments and losses in mellowing
mirth.
Philadelphia has always been pre-eml-jiently
amusement-loving and, with New
York, enjoys tho highest class dramas
and most elaborate musical comeuies.
During the summer, and for tho past
weeks, the audiences at the theatres hero
have certainly not been what tho "box
oltices" uiluht desire, nor. Indeed, what
a sane, well-regulated life, on part
of the people, should Inspire. "Will tho
war continue to affect the drama? Will
It keep people from the theatre?
OPINIONS OF PRODUCUIiS.
"During tho Civil War," Bald John
Jlason the other day, "the theatres were
crowded. Peoplo wanted to forget their
jorrows and the horrors of war. I believe
that, presently, when tho first shock of
the Kuropean catastrophe Is over, the
theatre" will fill."
This Is the hopeful opinion of managers
lni. despite the temporal y depression in
business, are steadily booking notable at
traction" for the local thcuties.
"We believe tho present season will bo
one of the greatest In tho history of tho
theatre," declared Gcorgo M. Cohan. "We
are Bolng ahead with nil of our plans,
which include mnny new productions. In
fact, we are conducting our business ns If
no war existed. Reaction from depress
es war news will bring tho 'public Into
the playhouses In greater numbers than
e.er."
It Is significant to note that during
the month of August ten now plays
were produced in New York, equaling
last yeai'i lecord. Of tho ten, but thrco
hive failed. Twenty plays were pioduc
ed or ielied In Manhattan during Sep
tember, 19K!. For September, 1914, four
teen New Tork productions have already
been announced, and It Is said that by
Octobet lait year's lecord-wlll have been
broken.
As an Indication of the passing of tho
war depression, the sizo of audiences at
the thcfttrcH heio slightly, but signifi
cantly, increased during tho past week,
and It Is eUdent that I'hlladelphlans, in
stead of brooding upon tho cabled hor
rors and tho war's effect upon business,
will wisely brighten and seek a deMred
and wholeEomo diversion In tho coming
plays One may "be good at a fight," or
be, carried away hy tho hoirlfylng con
templation of a Continental cataclysm,
but after all, as Tom Moore, said, " 'tis
bettor nt a play "

CHESTNUT ST. OPERA HOUSE
For twelve years a miracle play, en
titled "Pilate's Daughter," by Francis L.
Kenzel, was given nt the Roman Cath

"Pilato's Daughter" Is unique In that
