"Teddy" Explains "His Policies" Via Lew

Tho ubiquitous "Teddy," the loquacious
"Teddy," tho "Toddy" Don Quixote chnrglns
the windmills of predatory wealth, the famous
founder of the "Ananias club" nnd tho wlelder
of tho "hlg club," nppenrcd yesterdny nt Keith's
Chestnut Street Theatre vicariously In the per
son of Lew Dockstader, that Joyous mlnstiel
comedian.
Clothed in khaki uniform, wearing the famtl
Inr spectacles and tho grinning teeth, tho cele
brated blnck-fnced Lew gave n burlcbquo of a
certain "third-term candidate" which Is ono of
the most uproariously side-splitting funny nets
that hns nppearcd In vaudeville. Charging
back and forth, imitating tho famous hissing
voice to perfection, Dockstader proceeded to
explain the famous "policies."
"The Constitution of the United States gives
men tho privilege of thinking for themselves,"
declaicd he, with n sweep of the arm. "But If
nny man dlsngrccs with mo he disabuses that
privilege.
"It Is true, ns many people nay, thnt I re

George Washington served his country so did

"During my nbsenco in South America many
things happened. During my absence In South
America the birth rate decreased below the
birth rate of any country on tho globe. Now,
I don't mean to ray I blame the Democrats.

gressive.' "When I got back after my eight months'
nbsenco what did I find that Wilson anil Bryan
had dona to MY country When I left MY
country MY people were happy. When X came
back MY people were unhappy.
"When I wns In South America the doctor
gavo me rt hypodermic injection, nnd I began
lo discover things. I discovered a river a
river 1000 miles long. I'd have discovered more,
only tho doctor loot his hypo. Among other
things I discovered now and strange birds. I
discovered what I called tha prohibition bird.
The prohibition bird Is a busybody, with a
largo mouth. At night It seeks the wet places.
"Now I don't havo anything ngalnst Bryan.
Bryan Is called Colonel, and so nra I, But
when people snlute mo they saluto an officer
of tho army. Bryan never snw a battlo. When

Interior of a nut."
Of tho nlno nets on tho Keith bill this week
not ono can be adversely criticised ns lacking
In genuine amusing qualities nnd high order of
presentation tho bill Is of superlative excel
lence nnd a top-notch combination In vaude
ville where, too often, the salad Is spoiled by
bugs in the leaves.
Irvln Cobb's appealing story, "Sergeant

licious, romantic humor. It is reunion day In
tho South. Tho Southern soldier and the
Yankee meet and nro about to fight, but. under
the influence of tha genial, beloved Bngby,
shake hands for a reunited country. Thero is
an elopement, a marriage under unique cir
cumstances nnd Bagby telling the story of
the Impending battle, when tho General asks;
"Where Is Sergeant Bagby?" "Here, your
honor," replies Bagby, bowing. "Then," says
tho General, "let the battlo proceed."

In contrast to the rest of tho bill, Chris Rich

JUL1HTTE DAY
In "Chin-Chin" at tho Forrest.
A LADY IN DEBT,
A MARRIAGE IN JAIL
Mrs. Fiskc in n Dcliciously Amusing
Comedy, "Lady Betty Martingale."
An Orchid Among Plays.
A gny and dashing lady, a dare-devlllsh,
gambling, .swearing lady, a lady of wit, engag
ingly unscrupulous, borrowing money right and
left, and running up exorbitant bills at tho
dressmakers, Jewelers nnd perfumers. Such Is
Lady Betty, tho heroine of the new comedy
bv John Luther Long, the celebrated author
of "Madnm Butterfly." and Frank Stns ton, nn
Englishman, which opened last night nt tho
Broail Street Theatre. By the incomparable
nrt of Mrs. Flske. Lady Betty vivaciously
nnd volubly stepped Into life from tho time of
George II, nnd for nigh three hours delight
fully held ii curious, surprised nnd questioning
nudlenco by her whimsical escapades.
In n day of plays dealing with politicians,
criminals, lndy smugglers, millionaires with
pasts, derelict husbands nnd musical comedies
of surfnee humor. Lady Betty Martingale ap
pears as tin orchid In the theatrical conserva
tory of ferns nnd geraniums. Quaint In Its
hoop-skirt chnrm, bizarre In Its lemlnlscence of
.Sheridan and tho atmosphere of 1750, tho popu
larity of tho play nt this tlmo Is Mill dubious.
For while the play must have nn Irresistible
appeal to those who rnjoy tho unusunl, tho
subtle, the exotic. It will bo Interesting to ob
serve what wider nppcal It may havo for those
who throng houses featuring gorgeous girls In
glittering gowns or abbreviated appnrol.
Lady Betty, summoned by her father, Canon
Slowpeek, who lins expended 20.000 pounds of
money borrowed from Sir Ricochet Rasclble,
Lord High Chancellor of England, on tho writ
ing of a dictionary. Is confronted In tho first
net by the nforesnld Sir Ricochet, who sinks
upon his Uncos nnd begs her to marry him.
The corpulent Sir Ricochet, as Lndy Betty
says, has truly 'a strawberry nose." Arthur
Elliot, as tho blustering, bullying High Chan
cellor, Is roarlngly funny only ho roars too
loudly at first and thus destroys the effect of
his rago nfter Iady Betty swearing rushes
nwny. screaming "The Jail! The Jail!" rrefer
Ing Jail to marrlngo. Bailiffs nro waiting with
out to arrest Lndy Betty for her debts nnd
take her to tho fleet.
Lndy Fowlts Mario Chambers arrives after
the outraged Ricochet has departed in high
dudgeon. Her most Intimate friend. Lady
Fewits ndvlscs Lady Betty how to escapo tho
bailiff and Jail, She tells of a certain nobla
lady who put n wreath of purple flowers In her
hair and by means of a Jeweled dagger bled
to death. "But purple flowers do not become
tho color of my hair," laments Betty, "nnd I
have no Jeweled dagger."
Another noblo lady, softly says Lady Fewits,
Jumped Into the English channel. "But sho
was discovered threo days later, and. oh dear,
they say her nppearnnco wns dreadful dtead
ful. It was so unfortunate but then she did
not expect to appear beforo people again."
Lady Fewits has suddenly an Inspiration she
remembers another lady who, pressed by cred
itors, went to Newgate prison nnd married a
man who was hanged tho following morning.
Now nt this period, according to law, a hus
band, on inairylng n woman, assumed her
debts. By marrying a man to be hanged a
noble lady could expeditiously get rid of her
debts and her husband ns well.
In Newgate prison, Suggs, the burly Jailer,
capitally enacted by Percy D. Standing, pro
