- jf: SOME IMPRESSIONS OF "DIPLOMACY"
4Diplomacy," With Bates,
Gillette and Doro
"Diplomacy" has lost nothing In all
thtto .years. 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.
But two-thirds of the audience came to
zee Wis Doro and Hiss Bates, and two-
third of the audience had tneir wlsn.
Maris Doro looked as pretty as her name,
tated. with the appealing grace that la
hers tiy physical .right, and far outdid
any of her previous attempts at the dra-
Mue, Mis Jjates wnat aid miss nates
at do to carry off the evening's honor?
Q4ui wax a Zlcka of humor and dash and
'the prettiest of poise. She shaded her
jMonaUons and her smllea with the
-jfslnttHst bit of captivating malignity. She
wa we Deal of nign spirits masquerad
ing as sunning. If all ."Diplomacy" were
IUc Mlia Bates and all diplomacy like
JUcka, then any number of ovenlnga at
the Broad would be well spent and Eu
rope well lost to war-

were the Lelands, with n lightning artist
trick, a dialogue by Harris and Manlon,
rather fimny, and "Alice Teddy," a bear
aald to possess "almost human Intelli

behave hlmaelf In select company, can
wreatlo nnd lako his boating like a man,
the statement Is too modest Besides, he
Is a funny bear, nnd many humans are
not funny. Tho song-dance-novelty act
which followed was of tho kind one has
learned to expect at tho Keith house. "A

He carries off everything and carries hla

"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. "AIDA" WITH CARTJSO TONIGHT

LURE OF CHARITY
BAZAAR HAS VARIED
AND POTENT CHARM
- j
Pet Dog Show Develops
.Proportions of Menagerie.
Horticultural Hall a Hjve
of Business Activity.
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. Mauran
Bhodcs had more than sho could do at
tending to a number of persons who
called to enter their pets In tho contest,
and what had startod out to be a mere
dog show soon took on the proportions
of a menagerie, tip to the present tltnp
there nre many parrots, canaries, rab
bits, guinea pigs, to say nothing of SO
cats and twice as many dogs. 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. McLean In charge, has planned to
augment Its fund by placing a melting
pot In front of tho booth, Every one and
anyone In generous mood Is asked to
brfng In whatsoever of gold or silver he
orVhe has to contribute. 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.
A feature of tho Ambulance ball to
night will be exhibition dancing by Miss

REJECTION OF ATTORNEY
BY SENATE AN ISSUE
Legal Problem Develops From Fail
ure to Nominate Provisional
Appointee.
WASHINGTON, Deo. 15. A problem,
whloh Attorney Oenoral Gregory Is ex
pected to be called upon to untangle, de
veloped today over tho rejection by tho
Senate of the nomination of John H.
Lynn, of Rochester, N. Y., as United
States District Attorney for tho West
ern District of New Vorlc.
Tho question at Issue Is whether the
term of Lynn, who Is holding odlce'under
a recesa appointment, was terminated
immediately upon the refusal of tho Sen
ato to confirm his nomination.
Legal exports of the Government out
side the Department of Justlco say
Lynn's commission. Issued under tho re
cess appointment and which does not ex
pire until March 4 next, was not Im
paired by the Senate's rejection of his
subsequent nomination.
Senator Overman, of North Carolina,
chairman of tho Senate Ilulcs Commit
tee, who was at the White Houso today,
takes the opposlto view. Ho holds the
Senate's refusal to confirm tha nomina
tion terminated Lynn's recess appoint
ment Immediately.

WAIFS SERIOUSLY ILL
THROUGH THE LACK
OF HOSPITAL PARE
Affected With Measles,
They Are Driven From
Home and Nursery by Fire
and Exposed to Rigors of
Cold.
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,
