pieces popular with our audiences must
be suspended for nt least a doende. The

"Old Homestead" Returns
"Tho Old Homestead," that play of re
markable longevity, will return to the
Walnut Street Theatre next Monday.
In the original company to bo seen hero
ore eight members, each of whom has
been Identified with the fortunos of "Tho
Old Homoctoad" for moro than a score
of years. Among them are Annlo Thomp

Most of tho others In tho present com

may be expected.
Pavlowa in Ne,w Dances
Tho Incomparable Anna Tavlowa,
premiere ballerina nssolutn, will bo seen
In a program of classic and modern
dnnccs at the Metropolitan Opera House
next Monday (.veiling. Tho marvelous
dancing of Pavlowa herself Is known,
by sight or hearsay, to all who love
Yesterday's Concert
The concert of the Philadelphia Orches
tra yesterday afternoon wns a thor
oughly admirable alul enjoyable occasion.'
Midway In Its course appeared Madam
Olga Sainaroff, the first pianist heard
this year as a soloist. Her reception. It
should bo noted, w.13 tho - most cordial
triumph yet achieved by an artist with
tho symphony, and It was abundantly de
served. Flowers banked one corner of
the stago after tho concerto, and Madam
Samnroff was recalled again and again
to acknowledge tho gratification of tho
audience.
Against the driving spirit of tho
Tuchalkoweky number, played as It was
by soloist and orchestra, nothing else In
the afternoon could stand. Fortunately
the "Lohengrin" vorsplel nnd tho Men
delssohn symphony came flrBt. Mr. Sto
kowskl played Wagner so that tho
lengthily sustained passages on the
strings glimmered nnd shone nnd sang
for all the world like Italian opera,
which, for all tho world, they nro. It
la only with the lato entrance of tho
horns, gratefully pleasant to the ear
yeatorday. thnt the vorsplel takes on
Wagnerian proportions, nnd Mr. Sto
kowskl made tho distinction of tone
notably felt.
Tho symphony which followed Is not
ono to stir the highest or tho lowest
emotions, it is equable and sweetly tem
pered, sentimental nt times to the point
which Germans call SchWaermerol. Ad
yet Mr. Stokowskl and the orchestra
were unmistakably Just to it. They
plaed the andante, with Its air of semi,
religious balladry, for everything there
was In it. And at the end they could
well make cynics and philosophers, who
am not cynics, wonder why that obvious
sweetness should move us moro than
high and clear and noble dignity.
Those, In Bome degree, were the quali
ties of the concerto which Mme. Samaroff
Played. Starting molto maestoao, the
concerto never once lost its lone of strong
emotion. Mme. Samaroff played the first
half of this movement with a deft and
strong hand. It was as If to show, at
the beginning and once for all, that If
virtuosity was In question-pure tech
niquewhy. It was there and could be ex
pected, and no one jjeed bother about it
Before the first movement was over no
one did bother. The question of Mme
Samaroff's technical ability is perilously
" Insignificant in comparison with the abll
lty she has to select, to emphasise and to
Understand the human feeling In her
music.
To the swift changes of the concerto,
Mme. Samaroff showed herself extraordi
narily sensitive. And, then, to complete
the circle, she has, direct communication
between understanding- and expression,
Hr playlnr ts not the most polished nor
the most jUHcate, But It has a savor and
a pungency that are preolous. Her can
tablla In the second movement and the
leaping power of the last were memor
able pieces of work.
Mr Stokowskl resumed the centre of
the Btage under obvious difficulties, and
did It graciously enough. Impossible
now to say whether the orchestra needed
the added Impulse of Mme. Samarorf's
triumph In whlsh, by the way. they
shared heavily. The afterglow of play
ing finely with the splotst was suffjetently
sustained to take the oreheetra Into the
Sinetana. overture with a fine swing. The
overture Is. In BDltft of its plMluirflt tat.

ORIGINAL 'MOW
FILM MACHINE A
LOCAL INVENTION
Present Photoplay Contri
vances Due to Ingenuity of
Rudolph Melville Hunter.
Local Attractions.
In tho Kvemwo LEDocn recently there
was set out tho work of Henry It. Heyl,
of Philadelphia, in respect to his exhlbf
tlon of tho phasmatrope, which was usod
In 1ST0 at tho Academy of Music for ex
hibiting photography In motion, nnd thiiB
properly Kavo credit to Philadelphia as
tho birthplace of the first moving picture
machine. Philadelphia Is entttlod to fur
ther claim by way of priority in this field
of Invention, nslne from the Rreaf activ
ity of some of Its citizens In the commer
cial field. While Mr. Hoyl's mnchlno Rave
tho effect of motion pictures, these pic
tures were on plates made separately and
carefully adjusted In order In n circle on
a revolving dWc, so ns to como In succes
sion In lino with the projected beam of
llKht. Tho modern type of machine and
method was also dovoloped In Philadel
phia In 1893-91.
This machlno wns designed -'not only to
project tho pictures, but also to tako
them, 'and employed all the essential
requisites of the modern motion picture
machine. It employed reels of films
which had their Bide edpos perforated to
fit, sprocket wheols which were Intermit
tently rotated to feed the film with a step
by stop motion. The winding devices for
taking tho projected film were nutomatlc
A shutter was used which revolved, to In
termittently cut off tho light when tho
film wns being shifted.
The entire contrivance wns tho Inven
tion of Rudolph Melville Hunter, of 1011
Chestnut street. He not only built tho
machine for taking amj projecting tho
pictures, but nlso the machine for per
forating tho films. These machines are
now at his laboratory.
In l&W, Mr. Huntor arranged for tho
purchase of a hall for exhibiting It, for
which he paid $21,000, and Immediately
thereafter he executed contracts for sale
of European rights, which contracts were
signed and sealed on April C, 1&3.
Thomas A. Edison brought out tho
Armat Vntascopo In November, 1S96, and
first exhibited It In Xow York on 23d
strcot, at least two years after tho Hunter
machine nnd been developed. C. F. Jon
ltlns, of Washington, wns working con
temporaneously with Edison nnd produced
the Phantoscape, and about the Bame time
other machines Eldeloscope, Cinemato
graph and Blogrnph wero brought forth
hero and abroad. Tho fact remains, how
ever, that Mr. Hunter's machine anto
dated all of these. Including that of Edi
son, and was the first of this type of
machine. Philadelphia Is therefore doubly
entitled to claim the birthplace of the
moving picture machine, not only gen
erlcally, but also rpeclfically, covering the
modern type.
"THE SPOILERS."
It ex Beach's wonderful photodrama,
"Tho Spoilers." enters-on the third week
of Its Philadelphia engagement nt tho
Chestnut Street Opera House Monday
afternoon. The success of this master
film production here has been both In
stantaneous and sensational. Tha usual
spectacle of theatregoers standing

drama may be witnessed nightly at this
famous playhouse, where for the last
30 years the finest of dramatic produc
tions have been staged. Owing to the
enormous success of "The Spoilers" the

doubt about the future policy of the
Opera House, which will be that of pre
senting the best of photoplays, which will
be secured from the film producers of
the world. Performances are given from
1 to 5 in the afternoon and 1 to 11 In

jected at 2:30 and 3:30 dally, precedei

"JULIUS CAESAR."
Latest, and without doubt, greatest, of
all his splendid Roman productions, '
Ocorgo Klelno's "Julius Caesar." After
the making of "Quo Vndls," "Antony
and Cleopatra," "Tho LaBt Dajs of
Pompeii" and "Spartncus," It Is fitting
thnt the wonderful llfo of Caesar should
bo added to the list. The story follows
closely tho , recognized versions of
Caesar's llfo 'and presents an absorbing
and rcallutlc plcttuc of tho trcmendouB
events which shaped the world's history
20 centuries ago.
"Julius Caesar" Is undoubtedly the
most expensive film over inndc. With
moro than 20,000 peoplo In many of the
scones, tho erection of n miniature city
of Rome covering six square blocks, tho
costly building of moro than 200 lux
urious "Intorlors," and the expensive
costuming of nny nrmy of people, has
made tho cost of production pearly a
half million dollars.
Tho rolo of Julius Caesar Is played by
Anthony Novelll, who will bo remem
bered for his spendid work as Vlnltlus
In "Quo Vndls," and Antony In "Antony
and Cleopatra." Miss Jeanetto Trimble,
tho Cleopatra of "Antony and Cleo
patra," plays Caesar's wife.
GETTING FILM ATMOSPERE.
Producers hnvo all kinds of trouble
getting the right atmosphere the natural
ness needed Into their films. In tho big
shopping centres are plenty of locations
and lots of atmosphere, but the difficult
thing Is to get It on a film so that It will
seem natural. The public at large Is
very much Interested in pictures and it
