The Old Homestead," by Denman Thomp
fon. The cast Includes eight actora who

years.
Is There Too Much
Illusion on Stage?
Miss AdAh Barton, who line Joined tho
Lltttle Thentre plnycrs to enact tho role
of Mrs. Jeftcote In "Hlndlo Wakes," Is
not really making her debut to tho city,
Blnco she once came here on tour with
Mrs. William F. Kendall, playing child
ish roles. "I must admit," sho Bays,
"that I do not remember much of the city
except tho senso of Its charm and dignity
as compared with other American cities.
"Philadelphia Is an exceptional city to
play In, because an actress feels a sense
of appreciation of her, work. Instead of
tho restless demand to bo amused, which
one feels In Now York and Chicago, Of
course, players feel tho atmosphere of
tho audience, just as much as tho audi
ence feels the atmosphero of the play.
"I think that nowadays, perhaps there
is too much atmosphere on both sides of
tho footlights. The public wants such
perfection of detail, they can't 'mako bo
llove,' as every one should bo ablo to
do. So they must have their Illusions
carofully prepared for them by masters
of stage craft.
"And yet I think that tho most effec
tive performance I havo over taken part
Jn was In Canada, whero I was playing
3luth Itolt In "Sweet Lavcndar," with
lidward Terry. During the performance
something went wrong with tho (lights
nnd wo had to play tho cntlro second act
with merely a few candles. Tho scene
was more real, and certainly won more
spontaneous applause, than any number
ot scenes skilfully lighted with electricity."
Flashes From "Stars"

bara Worth," tho dramatization of liar
old Bell Wright's novel, which .comes to
tho Walnut Deccmbor 7, aro Frank La

Their latest danco is tho "Fan Tango."
"The Sccreti" with Frances Starr, as

Miss Starr is appearing, chose "Tho Se
cret" as a vehicle for Miss Starr, in order
to, give her an entirely new kind of char
acter to portray, Gabrlello Jannelot be
ing a study of a woman's personality.
Ethel Valentine, who plays tho part of
Lily Wagner In "Today," which comes to
the Adelpht November 30, began her
career' ns the ingenuo with tho O. D.
Woodward Stock Company In Kansas
City and Omaha. For two seasons she

Francisco by the Native Sons of the
Golden West Association. Other Callfor
nlans who have won national reputations

sculptors, artists and authors, and this
(election of Mr. Tully's name to represent
tho drama is considered a particular
honor. Each of the thirteen names se
lected has been allotted an art glass panel
Jn the Native Sons' Auditorium.
Clayton Hamilton, co-author of "Tho
Dig Idea," recently produced, cites a cer
tain melodrama, produced' a few years
go .as containing the busiest and most
Inconsistent villain ever created.
In the first act he tied the beautiful
heroine to a .railroad track Just as the
limited was due. In the second he lured
her Into an old house looked bar In an
Upper room and set the place on fire.
In the third he strapped her under a
buzz saw and set the machinery in mo
tion. In the fourth he tore the planking

SHOWING HOW DANCING DEVELOPS GRACE
PAVLOWA, SUPREME
AMONG DANCERS,
TALKS OF HER ART
Prima Ballerina Assoluta of
Imperial Opera of St.
Petersburg, the Embodi
ment of Grace and Charm.
"Let me see two, four, six, olght, ten,
yes, I think It takes ten good years of
hard work to becomo a real dancer,"
said Anna Favlowa thoughtfully, as she
counted off tho years on her nimble fin
ger tips.
"Of course, that does not apply to
everybody. Some people can never learn
to dance. There is a certain amount of
natural grace, and even Intelligence, that
is essential. Besides, the training must
start In early youth."
So saying. Mile. Favlowa smoothed out
n few wrinkles in her smart tailor-made,
crossed her dainty feet, and settled
among the cushions In her suite at the
Hotel Majestic JUBt long enough to grant
a short interview. The rehearsal will bo
called in 20 minutes, monsieur le direo
teur, had said.
Altogether chic from the tip of her
chamois-top shoes to her little fur hat,
tho world-famous dancer presented a
striking example of youth, vlvaclousness
and magnetic artistic temperament.
Petite, slender, with classic features,
sparkling black eyes and a gorgeous
amount of hair, blacker still, Tavlowa,
"prima ballerina assoluta" of the Im
perial Opera of St Petersburg, Is per
fectly natural. That Is one of her many
charms.
YBARS OF TRAINING ESSENTIAL.
"I would hate to discourage any lover
of dancing," she said, "but like any other
art, year and years of careful training
are required to become really proficient.
I am speaking, of course, of claBSlo dairo
ing. The body, the musoles and even
the bones, I thtnk, have to be molded
Into shape, so to speak, and it Is a long
and tedious proceeding that requires
patience, 'skill nnd art. '
"Dancing, like muslo and painting, has
to be learned In all stages. Four years
aro required to becomo perfect in the
early stages, and, In all, at least ten
years are required to reach the near-state
of perfection In the art."
Incidentally,. Paviowa can dance any
thing. She has charmed kings and em
perors, Europe and America the world,
in fact. Her "Dance of Today" Includes
the Gavotte Renaissance, the Pavlowana
and the Czarina Waltz and, like all her
other performances. It la a wonder. It
Is simply a scries of modern dances
"gracefullzed."
"The trouble with many modern dances
as 'made in America' is that they are
neither graceful nor artistic," she con
tinued. " 'Animal dances' Is a good name
for many of them, I think. Young folks
will defend them, of course, but In many
case the dances are Immodest. The
method of holding the partner even goes
against the 'grain' of the real artist who
dances for art's sake.
BECOMING MORE GRACEFUL.
"I must say that the dances here In
America aro becoming muclaaroore grace
ful and comma II taut. The Hesitation
is a wonderful dance, and I certainly
hope that It will not die out. I am aura
inai II win not uie ouu i ucuii,
danced a great deal In Europe, together
wfltt aHntda voelailfln nr th VlartnaiD
waits, and America will follow suit. Over
nero you nave to uuuw uurupa tu uauv
ing to a certain extent just as you do
in dress and styles. I hope you will not
follow suit as far as war Is concerned.
"Of course, American women are. very
much admired on the Continent They
have a great deal of style, I think, and
u.ulH ..HlaH all thai,, nnro filp
lflGWtl 144.. ,. . mmv.,
danolng, especially when graceful. Is
rrp-ceful, but they oannot hope te be as
graceful aa tha men of a hundred years
ago.

TR1ES TO END LIFE IN CELL
Police Take Clothing From Peterson
When He Attempts to Hang Himself.
"Ill rather be at the bottom of the
Delaware than go to Jail," said Daniel
Peterson, 32 years old, 69th street and
Giecnway avenue, shivering slightly as
ha faced Maglstrafe Tracy In the police
court at the Uth and Winter streets sta
tion today.
Ho had spent tho night in a cell with
out his clothes after he tried to hang
himself with his shirt. The police took
all his clothing out df the cell to pre
vent htm from committing suicide.
Peterson was arrested last night at an
auction salo at 8th and Race streets by
Special Policeman Capron, for outbidding
every one else present. Ho had no

cording to the auctioneer.
He will spend th-next 30 days In the

M0R0SC0 NOW JOINS
PRODUCERS OF THE
BIG PHOTOPLAYS
Theatrical Manager Respon
sible for "Peg o' My
Heart" and "Help Want
ed" Goes Into Movies.
After n training which gave him ft
splendid equipment, Oliver Morosco, tho
young Western manager, who startled
New York with two wonderfully success
ful production In succession, found him
self a factor In American theatricals.
Morosco fit present onjoys the distinc
tion of having produced plays which hold
the record for long runs In Chicago. Last
season ho broko the record with "Help
Wanted" at tho Cort Theatre In the
Windy City. This season his "Peg o' My
Heart" company holds tho record of more
than 200 performances with no end In
sight .for tho run of this comedy triumph.
It Is seldom that a manager produces two
record breakers In succession In Chicago.
Now that IiIb theatrical affairs nro In
such slinpo, Morosco has turned his at
tention to the motion picture field, hav
ing allied himself with Bosworth, Inc., tho
photoplay producer located at Los An
geles. He comes Into the newer sur
roundings fully prepared and Is Buro to
bo a. factor In tho development of tho
screen ilrnma. Through his long handling
of original plays ho has a world of ma
terial at his disposal. Being an astute
showman, ho has made affiliations which
place him In the foromost rankB of motion
picture manufacturers at tho outset
NEW "FAMOUS" PLAYS.
Tho Famous Players Film Company hns
secured two such noted stago successes
as "Are You a Mason?" nnd "Tho Dic
tator," In which they will prcsont tholr
popular star, John Barrymore. In "Aro
You a Mason?" Mr. Barrymore will por
tray the character of Frank Perry, a
dashing young married man of exuberant
spirits and vivid Imagination.
In "Tho Dictator," the celebrated ad
venturous romanco by Richard Harding
Davis, John Barrymore will appear as
Brooke Travers, tho central character,
a young American who Is forced by ex
isting circumstances to becomo tempo
rarily the dictator of n small republic In
South America, who In doing so becomes
the hero of many momentous situations,
some comic and sortie very serious Indeed,
over all of' which- ho triumphs through
the old of his clever wit and never-falling
audacity.
When the Famous Players Included In
a recent announcement of forthcoming
productions Mary Plckford In a subject
entitled "The Stepsister," they termed It
"n genuine surprise." Just how much
of a surprise It Is was disclosed when It
was explained that "Tho Stepsister" Is
nothing elso than a modern and original
version of the century-old classic, "Cin
derella." In the exquisitely fanciful fairy
tale Mary Plckford portrays tho pathotlc
but bewitching llttlo cinder girl, who was
at last rewarded for her vlrtuo and pa
tience by n splendid triumph over her
haughty sisters and unkind stepmother
and crowned princess and sovereign of
her true love's heart. This new version
of "Cinderella is a delightful blend of
comedy and pathos, nnd proves a con
summately artistic treat for people of all
ages.
AFTER LOCAL COLOR.
Thomas H. Ince'a. determination to give
photoplay lovers true realism in all the
productions that are released by the New
York Motion Picture Corporation has re
sulted in his sending George Beban to
Italy to make M-odd scenes for "The
Italian," In -which ho Is to play the name
role. This well-known actor, who, for the
last five years, has been Interpreting
Italian character parts. In the forthcom
ing Ince production will play the part of
a Venetian gondolier, about whose advent
Into American life and subsequent expe
riences In the heart of a busy city the
plot of the story Is woven. Mr. Beban Is
accompanied by an Incevllle cameraman
and nfter reaching Naples he will go
direct to Venice, Italy, whero the scenes
will be filmed. Mr. Beban plans to em
Ploy all hln assistants, actors and ac
tresses abroad. This Is In line with Mr.
Ince's.iepeated contention that a really
successful picture must have true set
tings as well as realistic acting.
A motion picture development In Louis
ville, Ky., which Is the first step In that
city toward Introduction of films Into the
publlo schools, and which Is a very de
sirable Saturday morning revenue pro
ducer, has Just taken form. The Parent
Teacher League, nn organization of pub
llo school teachers and the parents of
the children they havo In charge, has
taken the Initiative in the movement of
which the school, children and tho Mary
Anderson Moving Picture Theatre are the
beneficiaries. The Louisville Board of
Education has given its indorsement to
the plan, and It has got under way with
every indication of proving thoroughly
satisfactory to all concerned.
Tho Idea, primarily, Is that tho educa
tional value of many of the current films
may be utilized on Saturday morning
when the children are out of school, and
that a board of censors representing the
parents and teachers of the children
shall pass upon the merits or the pro
gram. This removes the causes for re
luctance of mothers to permit their small
children to attend tho theatro. for It
Insures pictures which cannot have any
111 effects. The first time It was tried In
Louisville 10W children and their elders
were 'divided between two performances,
and they paid S or 10 cents admission,
according to their ages. The second per
formance, or the second two perform
ances, repeated the first.
This movement In Louisville has beer.
confined to the- theatre named to date,
and. It Is said, many of tha hundreds of
children who attended got their first
glimpse of motion pictures. It Is sug
gested that there is enough of this busi
ness possible to be divided among all tha
motion picture theatres In tawn, and
that neighboring boards of censors can
pasa on the programs offered on Satur
day mornings by other playhouses, thus
making- It easy for children in all parts
of the Jf to profit by the arraagswent
It la aertaln that the Ivuivlll experi
ment will be watched by ptetura show
men In stkwr cities, and that similar sys
tems will bo workad out tUera.
