TIlfi atrinl; Int ktttiMtl Is fully up to the samples nmt adver tised by JIontaRue Glass In tho Satur day Kvenlns Post. Whoever designed the three-piece suit shown Inst night and hie hamo is not on tho bill of lAdlns -did Well. He cut the suit to fit the mythical figures, brought to life with nmaalng characterization by A, 11. Woods' company. Tho piny made out of the Olasa stories !s cohesive, connective and therefore tomprolienslvo. It scintillates with laUghr; breezes along so tiatu rally and smlllrtKly and goVid-nnturcdly that ritrinacment nnd satisfaction go hand In hand. It Is true that neither Ibsen nor , Ilrleujc could have written "Potash and Pcrlmutter." It Is equnlty true that the Glass play Is Infinitely human not high brow, perchnnco but appealing to the average, everyday being. Tho characters of Potueli nnd I'crlmut ter and nuth, their designer, are su perbly drawn. They stand revealed ns In life uncouth, yes; lacking education, yes. But with nil their faults wo ennnot help loving them but not still. Their humor Is clean, Inugh-prodUclng. It may as well be said now that there Is noth ing In tho play, from the rlso of tho cur tain until It descends all too soon, to which even tho most rabid .Tew coulu take exception. Barring perhaps Boris Andrleff, the persecuted Ilusslnn. tho characters ring true. He is too good to be truo too oily. Tho episodes of the play abound In chuckles, smiles, laughi nnd roars. They gallop along from ono r'dlculous climax and antl-cllmax to nncVthcr. But withal there. Is an evor-prcscnt undercurrent of that misused term, heart-lntcreat. Ituth Goldman, the designer, who was never referred to its a "designing woman" though the temptation must have been al most Irresistible Is a charmingly woman ly crontlon tho oort of girt nil men would llko for their wives nnd would envy In the posiesslon of others. Carolyn LUJa. was delightful In tho role, sharing with Julian Rose, as Potash, nnd Julius Tnn nen, as Terlmutter, tho honors of tho evening. Of tho others In tho cast It may bo said that, with ono or two exceptions, thev were worthy of the three stars. Italoh J. Herbert, as Andrleff, was n bit too unctuous, Leo Donnelly, ns Moznrt Itabl ner, breezy) Maurice Barrett, ns Harks Paslnsky, good. The wenk spots In tho cast were Blnnche Almee, ns Irma Potash, tho young daugh ter of tho firm, and Helen Salinger, ns Mrs. Potash Tho former never struck tho Hebraic keynote. Mies Salinger, who bears a startling rcsemblnnco to Mme. Bchumann-Helnk, missed tho accent ab solutely and seemed not a bit nt home In her role. But Potash and Perlmutter Is n firm well worth patronizing the play Is bet ter even than the stories on which It Is built Go and see for yourself. JOHN DREW HIMSELF AGAIN One More Self-Impersonttion at the v Broad, But Not in a "Drew Piny." Charles Frohman's statistician hns been wofutly slack. Otherwise he might have turned the Ocean City Yacht Club's bunt Ingsnt tho Broad last night Into n com ' mcmoratlon of John Drew's BOOOth or thereabouts nppearnnco In his masterly Impersonation of John Drew. Just why reviewers, and even a few spectators, grow tired of such a faultless perform ance Isn't very clear. Perhaps top per fect a work of art Is bound to cloy, and even the moat polished und nmuslng of crosses between a society jumping jack and a good-natured parrot must wear out Its charm. Lnst night the genuine article was on view, as usual, and when Mr, Drew turned his broadcloth back to the audlenco, the customary cry, "Some tailor!" went up. But If Drew was Draw, the piny was not. Darlo Nlccodeml and Michael Mor ton present Mr. Drew as n "drunk" through one act, as a largely reformed but Indiscreetly amorous guardian through another, and finally as a man who falls In love with his estranged wife whllo pursuing his Intended mistress. The result Is neither so harmlessly amusing its Mr. Drew's usual pieces nor so atlmu ' latlng to tho Intellect as other actors' plays. There were compensations, however. In tho first act, a really expert little gin actress, Helen Hayes Brown, gavo a delightful Impersonation of the orphan that Mr. Drew finds thrust upon him. In the second Martha Hedman played , til same young lady, grown to woman Jiood apd beloved, rather Improperly, by the same semi-grass widower, and play ' ett her with delightful nuancos of com ,dy. She was Just as appealing. Just as lovably beautiful as any of our native Ingenues, yet she gave tho part tho touches of human comedy that make real impersonation. The third act. In vhleh the young lady flew to the pro tection of Mr. Drew's wife In the coun try, gave every one a last and unexpect ed glimpse of the other pleasant factor In a. not very pleasant evening, Ferdi nand Gottschalk In one of his expert im personations of inconsequential caddish- h iux -.IfTnten the play la a "Drew play" no 4 ' poiiy oan object to Mr. Drew iMlng himself. ''When it u a tuur-neartea anu unsuccess ful attempt at pathos and drama and such, as well as a most vehement and equally unsuccessful attempt at comedy, the unfortunate aetor stands out a Gibraltar of sameness. And you realize alt too sharply haw very amusing and charming he could be it he had some thing worth the effort.

"Tho Queen of the Movies" hns proven n great success In other titles, notnbly Boston, and on tho road.

It matters not w bother tho lines mean anything, or whether the music Is catchy or original, Just sprlnklo about liberally a lot of de lirious steps, nnd the modern audlenco Is delighted. This txns evident Inst night at the open Irig of "High Jinks" at the I-.yrlc Theatre, when, nl tho end of tho second net, tho enmnnnv ns n whole Indulged In nn exhi bition of limb-swinging such ns has not been seen In UiIb city In many n day.

Tho "Bubblo Pong" It a gem, nnd Is charmingly sung by Adelo Ardsley who takes the part of Florence, daughter of Madame Bnbelnls. The aforesaid madamo and her husband hnd been separated for mnny years, when Doctor Thorno turned up and proposed a trip to a Ficnch bathing resort with tho dnurrhter Florence. At tho critical Juncture tho missing husband nppcars nnd engnges In a flirting diversion with his wife. Neither recognizes tho other nt first, nnd when they do there is at once a clearing of tho atmosphere, and Rabelais, his wife and daughter nre all reunited. Then Docttfr Thorno returns properly to the bosom of his own family. Tho humor of tho episode nt tho scn shoro resort revolves about tho Incident thnt "Doctor Thorno pays all expense1!.' Until hr husband turns up, Madame Bnbelnls regards tho characteristics of Doctr Thorno as thoso nll-deslrablo In a man. Stella Mayhew, as Adelaldo Fontaine, Is altogether charming, nnd Dorothy Wolfe, ns Mndnme Robelali, nnd Paul Porcasl, as M Jacques Rabelais, are easily the dominant nrtlsts In the cast.

EDBIE FOY KEITH'S Somebody once said thnt a really great comedian llko the nlght-bloomlng cercus buds onco In a century. This, ns mod ern history proves, Is not exactly cor rect. But that seven should bo born within a score of years, and In tho same family. Is something out of the ordinary, Now, nddlo Toy is conceded to bo ono of tho greatest comedians of America. But what of tho "Seven Little Foys?" With their talented "pop" as they familiarly call him Eddie Foy's offspring mado their debut In Philadelphia yesterday at Keith's thcatro. And all pioved them selves, from tho latest wco addition to the famllv, who reaches about to "pop's" knee, to bo real comedians. The next-to-tho-oldest Foy is a second edition of "pop" in gait and Inherent comicality of feature. It Is dlfllcult to become enthusiastic over vaudeville bills, for vaudeville Is llko a woman with a past. Vaudeville hns been uplifted, but It Is as difficult to take It seriously as a lady who has left homo and baby to campaign i'or votes or so cialism. Nevertheless, In a literary wny, ono must clnp one's hands for tho enter tainment offeied by Manager Jordan at Keith's this week. To bo sure, Carl Byal nnd Dora Early are relics of "vuudeville's low-brow days, but then, being Just me diocre, they offer a contrast to James C. Morton nnd Ralph Austin and tho others with but one oxceptlon on tho ichedule Morton and Austin aro the fun niest team who have appeared In Phila delphia thla season.

GREAT CAST IN "TOSCA" AT METROPOLITAN TONIGHT Opening of Opera Season Will Be n Notnble Artistic Event. Tho opera chosen for opening the Phil adelphia season tonight is Puccini's "Tosca " and tho two prlnclpnl parts have been assigned to singers who hnvo made for themselves notnblo reputations In thoso parts. Geraldlno Fnrrar, after an extraordinary reception In Now York, In Carmen, will sing Tosca. Tho Now York critics agree that Miss Farrar's singing nnd acting are even moro excel lent this year than before. Antonio Scotti, who shares with Bcnaud tho honor of being "a perfect Scarpln," will sing that part.

"OLD HOMESTEAD" WALNUT Philadelphia accorded Its customary generous welcome to Donman Thompson's "Tho Old Homestead," which was pre sented by a capable company nt tho Wal nut Street Theatre last night Several persons who have been playing the same purts In tho pleeo for mnny yenrs ap peared In the cast and added In a great measure to tho success of the play. There Is probably no stage production which creeps Into the hearts of Philadel phia audiences as does "The Old Home stead." It Is for this reason tho houso was crowded last night, and It Is safe to say nt least half of the audlenco had seen tho piece many times before. Edward Tj. Snader, aB the familiar "down-east" farmer, Joshua Whltcomb, easily found fnvor with the audience by the capable manner In which he portrayed the lovable character of "Uncle Josh." Jfrs. Maggie Breycr, as Aunt Matilda, ncted with a grace and motherly charm which captivated every person. Horry S Boblnson nnd Charles H. Clatlce, who Interpreted the characters of Cy Prlmo and Seth Perkins, were al ways In high favor. Without these two venerable actors no production of "The Old Homestead" would be complete. They liavo played the piece for so mnny years they are a part of it. and In consequence their work Is of the best. The other members of the company acted In a manner creditable to the char acters they Interpreted. The old Now England story will never grow too old for Blncere appreciation. The double quartet, which Is always a feature of the piece, easily sang Its way Into the hearts of the nudlenco. WHITMAN PROBING PARDON District Attorney Hears Murderer Was Freed After Deal.

At U o'clock, throwing all thoughts of commuting ttalns, street cars and matins to tho wlndB, the spectators forgot themselves far enough to demand a rope tltluhi of the "Gavotte Pavlowa." A quar ter of nn hour Inter they demanded an encore of the famous "IJacchanalo." Tho houso was crowded, tho spectators highly appreciative, end tho ballet was perfect. Something of nn Innovation wns tho appearance of the members of tho com pany In evening dress albeit not moUerii, clothes. The dnncos In this costume were of today, and many hearts heat faster at tho prospect of being ablo to danco ns M. Clustlno dances or Mile. Svlrsknla. But tho linest things In tho program were thofoo dances In which artificiality Is car ried to Its perfect oxtrcmo. Where no emotion, but grace ttlone enters.

FREIGHT INCREASES URGED FOR SAKE OF MAGHWERYTRADES M. A. Hudson, of This City, Tells Chairman Prouty Business Men of Country Agree in Favoring Rail road Rate Advance. ? WASHINGTON, Nov. 21. A report dt a. personal Investigation of manufacturing conditions made by M. A. Hudson, of Philadelphia, in a tour of tho country, Is made In n communication to Charles A. -Prrfuty, chairman of the Interstate Com merce Commission. Mr. Hudson, who Is vice president of tho J. E. Loncrgan Company, manufacturers of boiler, steam nnd gas engine specialties, 211-16 Baco street, Philadelphia, declares that the railroads should bo permitted to advance their freight rates, as an Im portant factor In Insuring a revival of the machinery business, which, ho says, Is at Its lcAvcat ebb in a quarter of a cen tury. Mr. Hudson's letter fallows: November Iff, 1911 Hon. Charles A. Prouty, Interstate Commerce Commission, Washington, D. C. Dear Sir: It Is with great Interest that I have read your address before the National Association of Hallway Commissioners In regard to the Im portance of ascertaining the valuo of all public carriers properties, and I concur with you In your opinion, but, whllo this extensive Investigation Is under way, I certainly think that the railroads ns a whole ought to receive tho ndvanccd freight rates necessary for thorn to progress. I am a comparatively small manufac turer, a Democrat, and voted for Wil son. But enough of politics. I returned n short time ngo from qulto an oxtonslve trip over the coun try, and to a mnn every manufacturer when interviewed, nearly all of whom wero In englno specialties or kindred lines, woro most decidedly of tho opinion that what general buslnest needed moro than nnythlng else was tho Increase In freight, rates given to tho railroads, and I know they woro Blncere. Wo rend about prosperity In tho newspapers this may bo, nnd In all probability is truo In somo lines of en deavorbut In machinery and kindred lines the state of business Is the most deplorable I havo seen In 25 years' business experience. I will give you a few facts and figures which can be easily proven: Working No. of No. of hours Workmen Workmen today Competitor on year ago. today, per wk. 1 nw York 02O 82 2.'. a Pittsburgh luuu 3 noaton, Ilrldgeport 400 4 JJoaton .100 Oureelves 1.0 oo .10 1B0 an 80 4U 80 40 rteirulnr weeK m hours. I could go on and nnmo a vry large number who are In tho same boat or worse off than tho cases mentioned. Consider, for Instance, tho pitiable plight of one of our large locomotive works, who aro working only from eight to sixteen hours per week with less than 20 per cent, of their force.
