L
Thos. A. Edison Joins Cru
sade in Sending Out Pho
toplay Shownig Menace to
Humanity.
Thomas A. Edison has lent lits nld In
tho anti-tuberculosis fight which, undor
tho dlrectldn of the NatU-nnI Association
fo,' the Study and Prevention ot Tubcr
cu.osls, has been for Botno time pant a
cctmtry-wldo contest. Mr. Edison lms
Deflated In tho preparation of n motion
jilcturo ptay which deals with tho prob
lem of tuberculosis In children. A climax
In tho nim tragedy shows a broken, In
reeled cmployo gloating over his em
ployer because the latlor'a two children
have been found to be victims of the In
nanllary conditions which the employer
refused to correct.
The plot of the picture, which Is en
titled "Tho Temple of Moloch," Is lnld
I.J a small village, tho chief Industries
of which aro tome potteries, owned by
Harrison L'ratt. Ho also owns a group
of dilapidated tenements, In which most
of his employes live. Doctor Jordan,
Health omcor of tho village, finds that
Insanitary working conditions In the
Pratt potteries, together with the un
healthy stnto of tho tenement homes of
the workmen, have to do with the spread
of tuberculosis. Pratt tells him It Is no
use to try to do anything In tho matter.
THD LOVn INTBIICST.
Doctor Jordan has fallen In love with
Elolso, the dauchter of Harrison Trait,
and sho has become Interested In his
wotk, particularly that at tho proven
toilum for children from tuberculous
families. Threo times Jordan appeals to
Pratt nod each tlmo ho Is rebuffed.
Finally, ho exposes conditions ho has
discovered through articles In the nows
papers, In which ho calls tho Pratt pot
teries nnd tenements n modern "Temple
of Moloch," In that they feed young chil
dren to the Clod of dreed. When Elolso,
w ,o itjiiuiuiiL ui cuiiumuim in me itiu-
Mi tory, sees the paper sho Immediately ro-
bbius wnai sno cousiucrs nn insun to ner
father, nnd returns her engagement ring
to Doctor Jordan.
Later, Pratt's daughter and son aro
found to have tuberculosis. When Erie
ffwanson. a former employe of Pratt's,
who had been discharged because ho had
contracted "potter's rot" In the mills, and
was no longer able to work, hears of It,
he exults over tho calamity, which ho
views ns a sort of personal vengeance.
Ho musters all of his strength, and steals
away to tho Pratt home, where Elolso
nnd her brother aro taking tho euro for
tuberculosis on tho porch, and thcro de
nounces Pratt, telling1 li'm that his son
and daughter wore originally Infected ns
young children by Com Swanson. when
she served as lrurscglrl for tho Pratts
several years before. So struck Is Pratt
by this denunciation nnd tho graphic
story of Swanson, which Is nfnrmcd by
Doctor Jordan, that he decides to clean
up conditions In his potteries nnd tene
ments at once.
The story ends with a Christmas scene,
in which tho engagement ring Is ro
turncd to Klotse, nnd Doctor Jordan re
ceives a liberal check for tho employment
of visiting nurses, tho establishment of
open-air schools, nnd other antituber
culosis agencies In tho town.
About 300 Junior and senior engineering
students of the University of Pennsylva
nia listened to a lecture on asphalt last
week by Daniel T. Pierce, executive as
sistant of the General Asphalt Company.
Motion pictures wero used to show the
Trinidad nnd Bermudez asphalt lakes and
mining nnd refining of asphalt In the
tropics. Other pictures Illustrated each
step In the construction of streets and
roadways. These reels constitute a com
plete course of visual Instruction In bi
tuminous highway building.
Mr. Pierce described tho formation of
asphalt. Its chemical characteristics and
the various ways In which It Is used In
the construction of highways. Since 1S70,
when tho nrst asphalt street was built,
MO,CO0.Hw suare yards of this kind df pave
ment havo been laid, in addition to sev
eral thousand miles of asphaltlc hlghVays
thht have been built since the good-roads
movement started In earnest four or five
years ago.

EXIT REALISM, ENTER ROMANCE
The period of sordid realism lias passed
both In books and the drama. There Is
no uncertainty whatever In tho attitude
of the public as to what it wants, and
does nn't want. In fiction and plays. Novels
ot a crass materialistic type, detailing
the minutiae of unlovely or questionable
lives no longer stand a chnnco of sales,
while, a few years ago, they dominated
the list of tho six best sellers. Public
disapproval was still moro mnnlfest
when a half.dojen or more yclept "Boclal
problem" dramas wero put on the stage
last season. They failed.
In n recent statement Oliver Morosco
declared that the romantic drama was
"curnlng back." Mr. Morosco said
further that he Is eagerly looking for ro
mantic, colorful plays, and will devote
his nttcntlon to this class of productions.
Already Mr. Morosco has acquired a cos
tumo play, "Tho night of tho Seigneur."
by Thomas Broadhurst; "Lady Eileen,"
by Geraldlne Bonnor and Hutcheson
Boyd; "Brcnda of tho Woods." by
Thomas Barry, and "The Lady of the
Sonnets," by Edgnr Allen Woolf 'and
George Sylvester Vlercck, a drama deal
ing with Shakespcare'H love for a mys
terious girl who played boy parts In tho
Elizabethan dramas.
The manager of a big publishing house
In New York declared last spring
that he could forecast public taste
fur fiction by tho chnracter of plays
that win success. At that time
Percy Mackay's "A Thousand Years
Ago" literally n poem put upon the
stage was drawing crowded houses.
The tide of taste had turned. At the
present time the productions In New
York substantiate Mr. Uorosco's asser
tion. "The Miracle Man," George M,

Cohan's latest success, doals with tho ro

Bclasco's "Phantom nival" Is n drama
tized dream. Among other plays with
the romantic quality rrcdomlnntlng are
Edward Knoblauch's "My Lady's Dress"
nnd Cyril Hnrcourt's "A Pair of SHU
Stockings.' Tonight Edward Sheldon's
nowest play "Tho Garden of Paradise,"
will have Its New York premiere. This Is
n nl'antnsy based on n Hans Christian
Andersen fairy tale. Tho hcrolno Is a
mermaid.
Tho chnngo In taste is healthy. Tho
appeal of romanco Is ctornnl, nnd ono's
translation from the drab routine of life
by the medium of a glowing novel of love
and tingling adventuro or a dramatic
pageant Is better than being obsessed,
nnd oppressed, by tho realism Hint putB
the magnifying glass on tho common
place or morbid. Tho distinction drawn
Is marked by two such novelists as Zola
nnd Annlol France, the first of whom
saw only tho ugly, while tho other bccs
romance and beauty In most humblo
things: It Is demonstrated by two
such dramatists as Ibsen and Brlcux.
Ibsen could take a facet of most
ordinary llfo and put It on the
stage, .tut bring forth, because ho
had the spiritual vision, the wonder, the
romance, the tragedy of It. For, bo It
remembered, romonco Is not associated
onl with princesses and palaces; the
most charming, most appealing, may be
tho simplest. Nor Is It to be found only
In the past. This should be held In mind
by our young native dramatists.

250 Fine Business Suits Tomor

These suits were made to our order. They are nobody's
left-overs and nobody's bargain lot.
On every one of them there is a saving of at least $7.50
and on many of them larger.
It is an occasion such as comes but twice a year once
in the Spring and once in the Fall.
The reason is that a great manufacturer owes it to us
as a business obligation, at the end of each making season,
to let us take our pick of all his "ends" of material and make
them up for us at low special prices.
The materials are the finest wools in the ready-to-wear
market. The tailoring is of the highest order. The fashions
