OARRICK "Nearly Married," farce comedy, by Edgar Hclwyn, starring Bruce McRac. Re view below. WALNUT "Bringing Up Father," musical comedy, based on George MeManus cartoons, by Gus Hill. Margaret Anglin in Notable Revival Margaret Anglin Is one of tho really com paratively few great living nctrossei. One speaks of "great living aclicsses" the majority of great actresses, of course, being dead. The snme Is Inevitably truo of great, very great, playwrights. However, Miss Anglin Is very much alive so much so that her husband figures In automo bile arrests while she, herself, revives a play written by one of the most brilliant men of the century a man to whom, lying In a grave In Montmartre, has come a full and deserved recognition for surpassing wit and genius. "Lady Wlndermero's Fan," In which Miss Anglin appeared last night at the Broad Street Theatre, Is a play of admirable technique, an evening's dramatic menu In which every course Is served with tartar sauce. There has never been n more seductive, a more subtle, a more dellghtfullj worldly Mrs. Erlvnne than the one presented by Miss Anglin. Miss Anglin makes that brilliant woman, of a dubious character, really winning. On tho stage this type usually Isn't, in Wlldo's play this woman, tragical In her life, becomes a mother desirous of protect ing her child. Mrs. Erlynno Is perhaps the most nppcallng character In the Wlldo plays. As such, Miss Anglin played the part with an Intellectual understanding, an artistic restraint which Wlldo himself would havo admired. If "Lady Windermere's Fan" Is already an anachronism so far as upper Fifth avenue or Rittenhouse Square are concerned, Its satire on social and human frailty Is quite as apropos as when Wilde wrote It. As a play n is rar superior to tho Eugene Wnlter and 'Gus Thomas productions as they attempt to deal, seriously or otherwise, with social and other problems. Miss Anglln's cast Is admirable. Ruth Holt Boucicault Is a sclntlllant Duchess of Berwick. Florence Carpenter, as Lady Windermere, was Insinuatingly captivating. While Sidney Green street played Lord Lorton Incomparably, there have been much better Lord Wlndermercs than that enacted by Leonard Willey. the heralded crnedy which opened last night at the Walnut Australian star. Mr. Willey was a bit too In- the feat ,las bcen accomplished successfully, tense-too Intense, vou know. Altocethcr. Miss Tl,e comedy Is Indeed as laughable as the popu- "Ncarly Married" at the Garrick Governor Tener, of the sovereign State of Pennsylvania, aided nnd abetted an elopement last night. This In Itself was reprehensible enough, but his full iniquity wll be understood when It Is announced that the elopement was between a man and his own wife. Just what excuse the president of the National League will make remalnn to be seen. But aside from this ofltclal faux pas, "Nearly Married," which came back to the Garrick last night with a cast new, with the exception of the star, Bruce McRae, proved a pleasant entertainment. The main criticism of the play, which has been reviewed before, Is Its exceeding sllmness. If brevity be the soul of wit, then "Nearly Mar ried" Is the wittiest play of the ages, for It lasted Just one hour and 27 minutes. It began at half-past .8 and finished at half-past 10, with two 15-mlnute intermissions. Bruce McRae, who Is a living duplicate In looks and manners and speech of Archie Gunn, the artist, was a bit heavy In the role of the 9 fiS " .3 MAY WALSH, in "Bringing Up Father," at the Walnut. mean the kind of a woman uho screams nnd faints at the slightest provocation, but tha woman who prefers the soft drift of a frill to the acioplar.o ascension effects of fashion that are so much in ovldcnco todiiy. Tho woman who emanates the dainty fragrance of oirls In preference to the sttonger mid heavier per- bedevlled husband. Hatlle King, the profes- fumca aml fachrls indicates delicacy of slonal corespondent, was fairly tnio to life, though a bit hard. Gertrude Robinson and John McCabe, as the other wedded couple, did well, an did Dick Glffcn as the obnoxious brother. Smaller parts were played, and played well, by Delmar E. Clark as the East Indian, Beatrice Ingram as his Irish wife, John Sparks as the Justice of peace, and Danny Day as the chauf feur. Antoinette Walker was Betty Lindsay, the foolish heroine. Taken all In all, "Nearly Married" Is a merry comedy, broad at times, but entertaining never theless, but too brief withal, save for the In excusably long Intermissions. Cartoon Pictures in a Play Thousands of persons have laughed at George MeManus' "Bringing Up Father" cartoons. The experiment of taking such burlesque draw Irgs and making them Into a musical comedy Is Interesting. In tie case of the musical farce thought. This u-nman's dress seems part of her; she eschews all tight clothing and Is able so to stnitip a room with her personality that one can ffel her presence without a real, tan gible proof of the fact. "Ah. yes, the woman who is womanly awakens wonder In tho heart of man because she is so truly feminine, so absolutely xplrltual. Spirituality Is not given to man to possess, nnd man longs for that which ho cannot undci stnnd. Therefore, man not only needs, but want", the spiritual woman, and none but the truly feminine " Anglln's revival is notable. It is perhaps ono of the best, if not the best, presentation of Oscar Wilde's delectable play. TIOGA Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Hasklns. of 3336 North Park avenue, gave an at home Saturday night.

Kenzel, a Roman Catholic priest, was produced last night nt tho Chestnut Street Opera House. One of the unique features of tho production Is that there arc no male char acters In It. Apart from the spectacular aspects of the play, it bus a strong religious appeal the ap peal of such plajs as "Ben Hur" and "The Sign of tin) Cross." "Pilate's Daughter" Is founded on the old legend relating to the daughter of Pontius Pilate. According to tills, Claudia, the dHUghter of the proconsul, threw a rose from her bnlrony as Christ was being led to Calvary. The llowfr touchtd his garment, and although It was trod upon by hundreds when the girl recovered It, the rose still bloomed. Ten ears later the perpetually blooming rose was used to work miracles. A spring is made to gueh out of the stone prison wall where the Christian women nie held; a dead child is brought to life: leason i3 restored to an unfor tunate woman stricken mad at the time of the crucifixion. Violet de Blcairi takes the part of Claudia, Pilate's daughter, in the first net, and the role of later ears, when the giil has grown to wonnnhood, is assumed by Constance Moli neaux. who displayed consummate skill. Miss Molincaux's work at all times bore the stamp of sincerity, especially In her eloquently de livered prayers. , Marlon Barney, an old friend of Philadelphia playgoers, was welcomed baik in dual roles, first i.s Claudia Proelen. the wife of Pontius Pilato, later as Agilpplna. the wife of Cae.sar Although neither part was of a nature to bring out hrr accomplishments to the best, she acqult ter lierpclf ndmlrably. Margaret Vryllng, as the Roman sorceress, made the most of the situa tions that fell to her. In fact, all the members ; of the exceptionally largo cast were excellent, j Considerable attention has been given to tho i scenery nnd properties. Some of tho speutacu- ' lar cflects achieved are remarkable. A curious and striking lapse Is made, however. In the handling of the Crucifixion In the second scene of act 1, when the Christ is shown without the thtoe,s that, according to Biblical history, were crucified on either side of the Saviour. lir plr.tiiro?. "Father," very tough, initiated into society by "mother"; a bogus count trying to get "father" to invest In a radium mine, nnd Tom Hamilton, "father's" business partner, are among the In imitably funny characters that go to make the play one prolonged slde-spllttlng evening's amusement. While there Is little plot to the comedy. It Is icplcte with Jokes nnd good songs. Of these a number made decided hits "Dear Old Girl," "Just a Little Smile," "Loe. Love, Love," "A Bandit Raffles." and last, but not leaet, "The Irish Suffragette." John E. Cain as Jlggs Mahoney ffnther). and Miss Ldn Kane as Mrs. Jlggs (mother), were adequately and grote.squely humorous, and equally good were Robert G. Rice an the butler, Grace M. Hanson and Blatuhc NVweombe as the daughters, Tom .Meade, Harry A. Truax, Leo Frankl, Dave Conroy and Madeline Grey. Mrs. Fiske in Comeily Despite Mr.. Flske's association with serious drama, her abilitle.. as a comedienne are of superlative spiightlincss and brilliance. Her appearance at the Broad Street Theatre, Octo ber 12, In the new comedy by John Luther Long and Frank Stnyton Is an event of thea tre Importance. "Lady Betty Martlng-ale, or the Adventures of a Lively Hussy" Is an nounced ta a comedy in which Mrs. Flske finds ample opportunity for the display of this particular phase of her genius. Lady Betty, living In London in the year 17S0. embodies the say. frivolous, sport-loving, gaming life of the period. Hounded by creditors nnd pjr suer by a rich but elderly and repug nant suitor, she seeks to find a way out of her difficulties by marrying a political pris oner In Xowgate who is condemned to death. AMUSEMENTS The Empire "Jah, t vos a German, but I thank Hlm mel I'm not there," said Harry Bentley, who. as Rudolph Saucr, furnished most of the comedy In tho rollicking burlesque. "The Love Club," which opened a week's engagement at the Empire yesterday. As presented by the Rosey Posey Girls the piece was an unquali fied success. In addition to the comedy, good singing and splendid dancing were also provided. SPIRITUALITY BASIS OF FEMININE BEAUTY "People talk of beauty of mind, and develop the Intellect by hard study, but when the ! spirit Is spoken of they smile nnd speak of j religious attitudes." declared Edith Campbell talker, who plays the part of tho professional ' corespondent In "Nenrl .Married." "Now. to ' bo beautiful a woman must develop the fcpint- ual ride of her nature. By spirituality t do ' mean a highly de eloped nientalit. tho free- I dom of mind given by tho ciullzed forms of f education, but the developed soul of an Individ ual raised high above the mind and that smiles from the ejes and expresses kindliness and beautiful thinking in every thought, word and gesture. This spirituality can be applied to the most trivial things of l.fe. Simplicity is its keynote, and thercforo the beautiful girl is the natural girl. Now. this natural girl does not rely upon tho cold cream for her beautiful complexion.
