Dramatic Tastes
Changing and Uncertain?
Is there a recipe for dramatta success?
' "While Harry D. Smith undoubtedly clings
i to the Illusion that ono con follow a sort
of Mrs. Rohrer recipe In "writing librettos,
.. Jerome It Jerome, who recently sailed
for England, says there Is no method
.which one can follow In writing a popu
lar success. The public today wants
something now, declared the author of
"' "The Passing of the Third Floor Back."
. And they are becoming less and less lm-
pressed by big names.
"In America a play advertised as being
written by Bernard Shaw or J. M. Barrle
is certain to attract nn audience. In
England this Is not so. And even In
America peoplo are less Influenced by
established reputations than they wer.e
a few years ago. You can never tell what
will get over. A spectacular drama may
mako a tremendous hit, as witness 'The
Garden of Allah.' Or it may fall, as
witness Pierre Lotl's 'Daughter of
" Heaven. Sometimes a simple most slm-
, pie play will tako, the public off Its feet
This was demonstrated a few years ago,
- when 'Bttnty Pulls tho Strings' hit the
Popular fancy, both In England . and
America. As a result of Bunty's success
r a dozen Scotch plays were written and
produced and all failed."
f- Mr. Jerome says that Bernard Shaw
has recently had three failures, Sir Ar-
thur Plnero several and Henry Arthur
Jones .only dubious successes. Edward
, Knoblauch and Arnold Bennett In collab
oration linvo been most consistently suc
cessful of present-day playwrights, ac
. cording to Mr. Jerome.
"A new playwright today, In my opin
ion, has as great a chance as an estab
lished writer. Thero Is no way of gaug-
ing public taste playwrltlng Is moro a
gnmblo than ever. It la certain that peo
ple are looking for novelty, for the un
expected. At tho present time melodrama
seems to be most favored In America.
., Howover, I believe the appeal of this
flamboyant type of drama Is only tran
sient and1 will soon pass."
Mr. Jerome stated that his only euo-
. cess In England since "The Passing of
"the Third Floor Back" was" "Castaways,"
which deals with child labor in this coun
try. It will shortly be produced in Now
York.

SEEK TO INCREASE
ADMISSION PRICE
TO MOVIE THEATRES
Concerted Movement Under
Way Caused by Added
Cost of Film Production.
Other News.
The movement to Increase the price of
admission to photoplay houses Is gain
ing new adherents dally. Picture Ideals
have grown as fast as pictures popularity.
Tho best picture of six years ago Is the
poorest of today. Some of tho current
multiple reel features cost as much to
produce as a whole year's output of the
ordinary films of early days. No single
factor In the business can be either
credited with or blamed for that condi
tion, And the publlo must pay for It
In larger admission prices; for tho ex
hibitor must pay more to the exchange
and the exchange musb pay moro to the
manufacturer.
Several of the larger producers are pub
licly ndvocatlng higher admission prices.
One company has gono so far as to deny
bookings of lis more expensive produc
tions to theatres charging only 6 cents
admission.
Reels of films whoso producing cost was
a thousand dollars went Into the con
struction of n nickel program. Feature
productions costing a hundred thousand
dollnrs have no broader field; they can
not bring Into the business a hundred
times as many nickels. So they must
get a proportionately higher rate IS
cents. 25 cents, perhaps even a dollar.
They are cheap at that price, compara
tively speaking. The higher admission
rate Is undoubtedly Justified, and the
manufacturers who advocate It nre doing
a good work.
Thousands, hundreds of thousands of
people 'have gradually worked up to nn
expenditure for picture theatre attend
ance ns great as they could ever make
for higher priced entertainment. Tho
neighborhood theatre has brought this
condition about by cultivating the habit
of very frequent attendance. It Is not
unupsual to find peoplo who go every
evening, and those who go three or four
times a. week are common, Including the
family, that means perhaps a dollar a
week or more. No doubt a good many
of them would be glad to concentrate
that sum upon one show of superior qual
ity. But with their appropriation spent
"all In one place," what can they do with
the rest of tho week?

MANY REASONS rOB THANKS
HEBE AND IN AMEBIOA
"The City of Brotherly Lore has
many reasons for thankfulness at this
present Juncture In its history, and
chief among them I count the pos
session by Its citizens of the spirit ot
helpfulness to those who are In dis
tress. This has been made clearly
manifest through tho outpouring of
gifts of money and supplies for the
sorely afflicted population of Belgium.
Again, Philadelphia has otganlted,
Under admirable leadership, an Emer
gency Aid Committee for the relief
of the unemployed nnd afflicted at
homo as well n abroad..
"The American nation has three su
preme reasons for thankfulness at this
season. The First, that ns a people
we have been nble thus far, In the
goodness of God, to keep clear of the
entanglements which have brought
about tho horrible state of affairs
which exists In Europe. The Second,
that God has given us most abundant
crops. Out of the gifts of Ills open
hand we Bhall be able to feed not
only ourselves, but other peoples.
The Third reason Is, that wo are one
nation, wllh one Government, over
our Immense territory. Upon our
soil there aro no hostile nations with
sharply defined boundaries, defended
Ty great fortresses, nnd guarded by
hugo standing armies.
"The nation which came Into exist
ence In Philadelphia, July 4, 1776, and
whose Constitution was framed In
1TSS, Is still an Undivided people.
Deeply thankful should we be as we
think upon Europe, that we are a
Union of States, one and Inseparable."

HIGH-SPEED TRANSIT
INDORSED BY 200,000
"RESIDENTS OF CITY
Mass-meetings So Far Held
Unanimously Favor Direc
tor Taylor's Plans, Re
gardless of Union Trac
tion's Attitude.
Moro than 100,000 persons up to the
present time have Indorsed tho stand
taken by Director Taylor, of the Depart
ment of City Transit, for high-speed
transit lines. At four largely attended
meetings. In extreme sections of tho city
representatives of the residents unani
mously agreed that Councils should take
action In tho matter, regardless of the
views of Union Traction stockholders, nnd
thus put the wheels of the proposed
transit system In motion.
Furthermore, each meeting, without a
dissenting voice, ngreed to participate In
a demonstration which would prove that
the people wanted the high-speed lines
without delay.
The mass-meetings held so far were In
Frankford, Germantown, Woodland ave
nue (Darby section) and Falls of Schuyl
kill. Those attending represented 73,000
riders In Frankford. 65.0") of Germantown,
67,000 of the Woodland avenue section and
20.000 of Falls of Schuylkill.
These meetings were not attended by
the class of people who go to political
gatherings, They were determined men,
and women, too, employers and employes,
who went to learn how, when and where
the proposed lines were to bo constructed
and what the benefits would be. Tho meet
ings would not be considered entertain
ing to any one who wont out of curiosity.
All ono sees Is a determined man with
an array of facts, got by hard and con
scientious work, who Informs his hearers
In a straightforward manner what is
needed for each locality In the way of
rapid transit and how It can be obtained.
The close attention gtven at each meet
ing showed there was no doubt of the
speaker's sincerity of purpose.
As the halls will not accommodate all
who desire to attend the meetings, the
Director, at the request ot sectional or
ganizations In all parts of the city, has
agreed to subdivide the sections wherever
tt is possible He will address the resi
dents of Fox Chase tomorrow night at
Grockett's Hall, and has agreed to speak
to sevrral other organizations next week.
Including the Northwest Business Men's
Association. This organization, with vari
ous others, has called a mass-meeting,
which will bo held at Athletic Recreation
Hall. 27th and Master streets, on Monday
night. This meeting has been widely ad
vertised by the business men and prom
ises to bo the largest held so far.
