No. lndetd; between English aapianona ana American mouerniza tions Bardou's old play has gained about SO pounds. Xrfiat nlffht, at tlio Broad, It Aras encrusted with three stars and any amount of new dialogue. Dut since the accretions had only to do with the humor -et the piece, and consisted principally or Jftuch Information as "There are no doge Lin doje biscuits," they didn't do the play or ma auoience mucn boou. xnis revival or "Diplomacy" puts Bardou In the class with TShakespeare: they know how to fwrltojthelr plays better than the gentle- ;men who try revlalnc them. ' In Its pristine glory VDIplotaacy" was an oxclttnc and remarkable play. It "held." Dut. u It started at 8 sharp last night. , there was mora action In the audience than .In the first act, and as It ended round) 11:30 & rood many people besides tha critics wished thero hod been mora Bardoji and a. little .less of this sort of thine! "I shall be a nun." "A femalo JmnnM" and "Ufa Is very hard!" Tcs, It Is the hardest thine I have ever been con nected with," Bpaced out by great wastes r of Joke and jollies and klddlngs and ' f, allly-ass English boys, the "big moments" fcfor which Bardou labored and by which Lis triumphed seemed pretty far between. ' All the samo there were oases very de lightful, refreshing ones. At their brim mlnr font of theatrical excitement the weary play-traveler drank his full. He k watched tho net of circumstance, drawn ' by CyUntess Zlcka, the spy, close about ' tha jttung diplomat's bride and threaten i to fasten upon her the theft of valuable ecrtt papers. He watched the poor young I thing; struggle blindly In the colls. In (j criminating herself even In her hus r'S band's eyes by every attempt at escape. 'file gloried in tha fascinating wickedness : , . of SUoka and .the qually engaging readl ' . ne4s of the young diplomat's much more t jfClplomatlc brother to extricate every one r from; tho tolls by detecting whirrs or ' Zlcko-'a perfuma all over the place and thy tricking tha spies with the simplest nf Ifftljh rlf.V That aorfr nt thlnor fa i ' Tery good fun now or 0 years ago. , Ana It's also good fun, or course, to see so excellent a cast playing so ex pertly. If two of the leading men gave 'rather bad Imitations at times of the nort of person that used to be called an 'enioOoiial actress," Mr. Gillette made IP for It by being anything but emo tional, lie went through even his "big been" with the humorous nonchalance that Is supposed to make a "character" out of a stage puppet, and succeeded In .being very amusing. Perhaps all this 'fun-making helped to divert the narratlvo from Its old, swift course Into the mean derings of "modernization." Dut, any way, a Sherlock Ilolmes with a violent aense of humor is rather good sport, Jllnor figures in the cast stood out as sharply Mr. von Beyffertltz as a spy, with a Oetman accent that would land any man In an English Jail; Norman Than?, "allly-asslng" as usual; Jeffreys Irttwl Jtffreya-lewlslng, and Bertha For dyce making a portentous figure out of & gapuung oia may uiai iravar wuuu himself m'ght hava admired.

"The Traffic " a Drama of Today The Traffic, a "sociological" melodrama In four acts, which Is tho offering at tho Walnut this week, Is teeming with inter est and sensational scenes. Purely a "white Blave" play; It vividly depicts the "great cause" for tho downfall of tha women of the underworld. Miss Bess Sankey, as Agnes Berton, a i notary gin living in the tenement dis trict of New York, Is lured to a life of shame by her desire to raise money with which to send her consumptive alster to a sanitarium. After a fight against crush Ing odds sho becomes resigned to her fate until she finds that her sister, who is now cured, has been smuggled Into the same life. In desperation she kills tho man who caused her downfall and, as tho police rush In to raid the house, she sends her slater away with a member of the Sal vation Army whom she knew In the tene ments. The play closes with a sensational court scene. In which the great love of a young physician overcomes the evils that were forced upon tho girl. John Daly, as a dope flend, and Leo Llndhard, as the broad-minded physician, take their parts well. King Strong Is seen as Vic Connors, the white slave agent, and he proved on Interesting char acter.

A pet dog nnd animal show, plus tho ambulance ball, which takes place to night, will mark tho second day of the brilliant "Made'ln-Amerlca" baznnr, now being conducted at Horticultural Hall under the capable auspices of the Emer gency Aid Committee. All day )esterday Mrs, J.

The pots will be on exhibition from 10 In the morn ing until 0 In tho evening. At 6 o'clock over 100 prizes will be awarded. Three Shetland ponies of pedigreed stock, donated by Miss Anno Vauclatn, are among tha most' popular 'foatu res of the bazaar. It was while Mrs, Rhodes was busily engagod In getting' chances on them yesterday that Mayor Blbnken burg sent her word that rnming" was against tho law. "It seems," sho explained to those near by, "that It Is perfectly legal to take tho chances here, but the actual raining must bo done In some private house," and be fore she could explain further sho was surrounded by a llttlo group clamoring for chances on the Shetland ponies iied cnoss melting pot. The Bed Cross Booth, with Mrs. Wil liam L.

At tho close of tho bazar those things, the Intrinsic value of which exceeds tho actual worth of tho gold or silver, will bo Bold and the remaining ones melted. Tho Southorn country lunch room, met amorphosed yesterday afternoon Into an afternoon tea room, did a rushing busi ness and a negro orchestra, which ren dered plantation songs, made things even livelier. Tho entrance of E. T. Stotcabury was the signal for a general sortto In hla di rection, and the air wns filled with tho voices of earnest damsclB pleading In this manner: "Won't you have a chanco on an auto mobile, Mr. Stotcsbury, a llttlo Ford?" "Can I put our name down for a button-hook or a pen-wiper, only 15 cents." "May I enter you for a sofa cushion or tho latest knitting devlcoT" "Will you buy a whlto gardenia, a packago of cigarettes, anything?" But tho little Boy Scouts wero Hio red hot tamalcs of the bazar. At every booth one youngBter In khaki uniform was stationed for the express purnoeo of doing the bidding of those in charge, and the floqr was dotted wllh them delivering packages, carrying messages and making themselves generally useful.

Four little children, waifs who know no home except the Mary J. Ball Home anil Day Kursery, aro dangerously 111 with pneumonia bconuse Camden has no hospital In which to segregate conta gious diseases, according to Mrs. Stephen Pfell, chairman of the WayB and Means Committee for the home. Tho Mary J. Ball homo In Camden burnod down last Friday. At the time oC tho tiro, according to Mrs. Pfcll, It of tho 26 children In the home were suf fering from moasles. They Bhould have boen In a hospital, she snld. Instead, It was necessary to carry them out to thtf street nnd expose, children suffering with measles to tho early morning cold, "1 don't know wlint we would have done If It had not been for the neigh bors," said Mrs. Pfell. "Thoy put tho children with measles Into beds with their own well children to save them from exposure It was nil because Coun cils and the Board of Health, In their squabbling over nppolntments and sine cures nt the Municipal Hospital, had de layed the completion of tho building, and Camden now has no place to treat con tagious diseases. "Tho private hospitals rofused to take the children, and had It not been for Charles A, Reynolds offering us tho use of tho building of tho old West Jersey Homeopathic Hospital, I do not know what we would havo done. "Something surely ought to bo dona to compel tho Cotincllmcn and the Board of Health to provldo a place for the treat ment of contagious cases without delay." Among tho 14 children In the homo suf fering with mcnslcs that had to be res cued from tho Ilamcs were Hawkins Berg, 0 months old, James Foster, 2 years old; Margaret Foster, 3 years, and Doro thy Hess, 1 year old. As a result of their exposure they developed pnoumonla. Dr. Emma Richardson, who founded tho Mnry J. Ball Home In memory of her mother, said tho condition of Hawkins Berg nnd Jnmcs Foster was" critical, and that Rose McKcon, another child, had de veloped a high fever last night and was Bhowlng symptoms of pneumonia. It was further stated that when a case ot diphtheria broke out In the Camden Home for Friendless Children several weeks ngo, It was necessary to keep the child In the home, whoro It endangered tho health of 59 other children, because there was no hospital to which tho case could bo taken. Dr. Henry H. Davis, president of the Board of Health, said work on the Mu nicipal Hospital had been held Up because It was necessary to secure special legis lation to enable the city of Camden to get funds to equip tho hospital. He Bald there had been no delay due to dimcul. ties In selecting men to fill tho positions and added that the hospital was not opened because It had not yet been fully equipped. He ndmlttcd, however, that the hospital wns heated and that a part of the beds had been Installed, Christmas Gifts Nickel Percolators, Chafing Sialics, Kettles, Traya nnd Carafes JaffcankllnMIIer HOUSE FURNISHING GOODS 1626ChestmicStreefc TfiA fAmnnM ''AiVMlfiHftfin' th fnafnimnnf flint rf11 T.1A . mjiwu,. - i - ii. wuwuwi " HEAR NATURE'S WAV!
