i Renewing the New Theatre
Wallnck'fl old thentre, way down" Hroad

'llh manaRer nlul playwright, In bo
frinnlns season upon Old outcome of
which f9's ",0 ro-eatabllshment in
T America of a repertory thcatro on the
nhest linen.
When that lllfnted barn of a playlioUBe
on Central Park wan Ilrst opened, Clran
witn Darker wns offered the directorship.
ftlo came to America, pave ono look at
the mammoth auditorium and took the
hext ooai unuiv. hm juukiuviu iia vin
dicated. Tho houso drew what were
fairly Rood audiences for so new a ven
ture, but they woro lost In tho Immense
distances of tho place, and the cost of
keeping up tho huge building ate Into the
guarantee fund so rapidly that tho whole
thing was given up
Rmno of tho men who backed tho first
venture are still Interested In Riving and
seeing goon piays wmi uio uest in iicung
nd setting. They have co-operated with
the New York Stnge Society In bringing
Mr. Barker to New York for n season of
modern nnd Shakespearean plays. If the
response from the public seems lo Justify
ii ihv nre ready to nut Mr. Hatker In
f charge next fall of a reiiertoryxplnyhouse

for the work ho wants to do. Sun-ess In

from which Philadelphia must prollt.
Hero nnd In London
It Is moro than likely thnt Mr. Ilatkcr
L will bo able to conduct the American
theatre, In conjunction with a similar
venture In London. When tho war broko
out ho had the funds nnd tho plans for
luch a piaynousc. wiinin a year, conui
tlons may be rlpo for It. Certainly, tho
linking up of tho two ventures would
irguo for success for each.
Still more promising, howover, Is tho
ability of Mr. Uarker himself. Ho Is not
alono tho playwright that gave London
such remarkable dramas as "The Voysey
Inheritance," "Waste" and "The Mndrai
House. J 10 started tno present ungllsh

f First Play" to remnrkablo productions of
Shakespcnre along tho new llnea so Imag
inatively developed In Germany nnd
Russia.
Barker Invades Broadway
. Wednesday evening Mr. Barker made
his first production, a double bill of Shaw
k md Anntolo France. Tho contributions
wero no less distinguished than the con
'trlbutors. "Antlroclea nnd tho Lion"
proved as dellghttul to sco us It had been
to rend In a past number of Everybody's
Magazine. "Tho Man Who Married a
Dumb Wife" wan overshadowed In the
morning-after reviews by tho rxcellenco
nt tho Rhnw sntlrp. hut It. tnn. in well
P' commended.
Overshadowing the plays themselves,
however, was the m-thod of nroductlon.
The New York critics rightly Judged that
.tne important part or Mr. iaricrn con
tribution to our stngo. Tho Herald gives
'what is a clear enough description of the
changes In the usual stage management:
BU-"Mr. Barker Is known bore by reputn
Kjjjflpti as an Innovator In matters of stage,

tt!on, for the familiar old Wallack's
Interior presented n strango sight. Tho
two lower stage boxes hnvo disappeared
BY and !n their places nro. stago entrances
and exits, tho actors nearly "nil making
'"their entrances by theso routes. The
Itage apron has been built far out to
hlneet tho first row of thn nrpliPKtrn. nlinlrn
hA second proscenium arch has been built
HeacK 01 tne nrst one anu lootllghts Have
entirely disappeared.
. "The lighting Is nearly nil from above.
Ii'except that tho front platform of tho
rage is llluminntcd by n battery of
'strong lights ranged In tho flrst bal-
F-cony. Tho players by no means confine
BJ& themselves to that portion of the stage
poacjt or tno nrst proscenium arch, but
tllberally romp and play out on the plnt-
lorm, almost within touch of thu nudl-
rence giving a strange air of both In-
Rtlmacy and freedom, nnd putting tho
Ulsteners in close rapport with actors
Sand action."
Commending "Androcles"
So much has already been written In
England nnd reprinted In America con
cerning Shaw's drama of the early
Christian martyrs that a critical con
sideration of It may hotter bo saved for
a personal visit to Wallack's within tho
next few days. Tho reviewers seem well
pleased Tho Times writes: "The plays
are neither pretentious nor precious.
They nro simply good tun, well done. Mr.
Barker Is welcome to Now York," And
the rest are of tho samo mind.
Their praise of Mr. Barker's work H
elf is as hearty. The Trlbuno says:
His Interpretation of Shaw's 'Androcles'
Vt.9 as nna a thing ob we hnvo seen In
long time. Tho treatment of the Bcenes
and the Bplendld cast Mr. Barker has as
sembled transforms Shaw's piny In
fashion impossible for ono who has
merely rend tho published edition to
Imagine. Mr. Itothstcln, who designed
the acenery for 'Androcles' as well ns for
Anna Pavlowa's 'Choplnlana,' seen here
last week, gets his words of commenda
tion.-
Anatole Prance's Comedy'
Anatoja Franco's "Man Who Married
Dumb Wife" suggests Ilabelals. Its
moral complexion Isn't that sort, but It
l a very broadly amusing comedy In
NO 28 ASTHMA SIMPSON, THE VILLAGE QUEEN VILL SACRIFICE A
i
that classic manner. It shows a Judge
who calli In the physicians to cure his
dumb wife, with whom ho hns long lived
In perfect hnpplness. They succeed only
too well. To escape Iho gargantuan
flood of words, there Is nothing for him
but lo call In tho doctors to mako him
deaf, Of course, n Judge Is Just as use
full thai way ns before.
Coming to the Lyric
"Dancing Around," the Winter Garden
show, Is to be postponed a week. In
stead, "Lady Luxury" will come to the
i.yrlo for six nights nnd two matinees,
beginning February 8. U Is n musical

notion to play m.ihy diverting tricks
with hor fortune. Tho scoro Is by Wll
I run Brhroeder. Ina Clnlre, Harry Conor,
Alan Mudln and Forrest Huff were In

ALUMNI REGISTER SAYS
U. OF P. HAS FREE SPEECH
nitllcules Suggestion Made In Under
graduates' Magazine.
The other side of tho frco-specch quei
llon nl the University of Pennsylvania Is
taken by the Alumni Itcglslcr, a monthly
magazine published by tho Alumni So
ciety, In nn edltorlnl In Its February num
ber. The nrtlelo mnkei no referenco to
the editorial In tlm ltrd nnd Illue. a stu
drntV monthly magarlne, favoring fteo
speech nt tho University,
The contention of tho Alumni Ueglster
Is that University professors should not
air their views In tho public press. It is
undei stood that tho views held by the
editors of this publication nre not con
sidered representative by Provost Smith
IHccently F.fTltighnm H. Morris Issued a
stntement ridiculing the suggestion that
there was not free speech nt the Univer
sity, nnd Provost Smith Is henrtllv in n
enrd with this. Tho edltorlnl says In part:
"A ptofejsor may believe that nn Im
portant principle underlies his argument:
but no think thnt the corrosptindencc col
umn of a dally paper Is not tho plncr, noi
ls the moment when the public mind is
excited over the Irsue the time for n pro
fessor In a great university, to elucidate
his principles beforo tho mnn In tho
street "
In thn January Isiue there was a criti
cism of Wllllniu Draper I.pwIs, former
donn of the l,mv School. A Ipttnr from
John O. Johnson, published In thn Feb-ruar'-
lsuo questions the wisdom of this
editorial.
"t think that every college official hns
the cloarest possible right to take nny
view of political affairs which commends
Itnelf to his Judgment." tho letter says,
"t doubt the HidlelnuincsB of criticising
surh views In a university publication."

A new turn Is given the matter of mo
tion picturo producers obtaining the rights
to novels by tho decision handed down by
Circuit Judges Lacombo, Coxo nnd Wnra
of tho United States Circuit Court of Ap
peals, affirming the decision previously
handed down by Justice' Learned Hnnd,
who granted an injunction protecting tho
holder of the motion picture rights of u
book, dramatic rights to which had pre
viously been granted to another.
Tho opinion handed down on appeal
holds that there uro thrco distinct kinds
of copyright that can be obtnlncd by tho
owner of a book: First, publication rights;
second, drunmtlo rights, and, third, mo
tion picture rights. The prosent decision
upholds the Injunction against tho owner
of the dramatic rights, restraining him
from Interfering with tho freo oxciclsa of
motion picturo rights.
By tho termi of the decision a motion
picture producer may obtain motion pic
ture rights from the authors of a book,
regnrdless of previous disposition of tho
dramatic right.
The Stanley Theatre
Tho management of tho Stanley Thea
tre has materially helped to raise tho
standard of tho modern photoplay. Tho
Stanley has drawn the class of people It
was built to attract, and it has made
permanent weekly patrons of them.
The quality of tho film dramas und com
edies presenting famous stago stars nnd
In every way replicas of tho great origi
nal successes, less only spoken words,
has been a groat factor In this play
drawing revolution as It affects society.
Credit la due to Stanley V. Mastbautn,
president of the Stanley Company, for
he has personally chosen practically
every play which baa been produced at
the theatre to date.

last week when Vivian Itich, from wheie

tho bang! hang I bung! of rovolvers, A
moment later Winifred Greenwood, Jack

ried out of tho studio nnd Joined hor.
They weic Just In time to seo a horseman

Meanwhllo Diroctor Thomas Itlcketta
rushed Into sight, shouting hasty direc

set up his tripod and commenced lllmlng
tho approaching horseman. People wero
but i. villi? from every direction.
"Something for tho movies." they said
to eacli other, ns the horseman came
riding among them, regardless of Hfo and
limb, nnd cumn to a slop only after Kd
I'nxon had mndo a leap, caught tho nag's
bridle and bcNi dragged 20 feet beforo
his weight caused a hall.
"What's all tlill?" Harry Pollard de

lalu tho bundle ho held In his lap In tho
motherly arms of Louise Lester.
"Take euro of hor," ho cried hoarsely.
"I'll got a doctor."
Miss Lester found herself looking Into
tho unconscious face of n little girl whoso
features wero smeared with dirt. Mean
whllo the horseman dug hlu spurs into
tho ilanks of his horse. With a snort
tho animal plunged forward and Jumped
through tho tripod of a camera.
Smash wont tho tripod. Hang wont the

All was forgiven when It was learned

"In spite of my protests?"
"Ho will not bo accenting your hos

come down. And It would bo n very
gracious act on your pirt. Undo Finnk,
to go with us."
"And havo a fisticuff In the cab!" Iron
ically. "Suit yourself, then. Tho pooncr you
understand that I nm determined to marry
Htoini, In spite of nil yuur objections,
the sooner peace will come to this liotisu."
Balrd had good control over himself.
It wns very llfllcult to lcslst tho
charm of this high spirited girl. Ilo si
lently cursed tho leul Ilnssam All for
outlining a celd aloofness tovvaul this
girl. Well, In a little while ho would bo
freo of this damuablu wig and the painted
lines on ills faco and Iho stoop in his
shoulders.
Ni Ither Zudora nor Storm saw nny ono
they knew well; but tho music was good
and they enjoyed the dancing. They
snvv Hassam All nt thn beginning of the
festivities, but after tho first danco be
vanished. And with good tcason. He
had dodged Into a dressing loom ami la
moved bis Hnssnm All mako-up, deter
mined to meel Zudoin under bis own err
ors. He bad played n hard but clover
gnme, controlling both Ills facial muscles
and tho tono of his voice Ho was rea
sonably positive that SSudnra would not
havo tho least idea what or who ho was.
Ho Immediately sought Mine. Du Val.
"I want an iutiodiiutlou to Zudora,"
lie sal'd.
"An Introduction to Zudorn! Good
heavens. I forgot. Of course sho will not
recognize you. So you wnnt an Introduc
tion? You shall havo It. And now listen
carefully. Tho men are hnek of tho wall
leading to the conservatory. Tho wall
has a secret door. At 10 o'clock promptly
you must maneuver her over theio. At
the fame time I will occupy John Storm,
keep him busy. When ho finally misses
Zudora he will not bo able lo point In
nny wny to me."
"I got tho point. But if nbo begins to
ask questions, duo to thnt mysterious
note, of yours about thn hoy Van Wick?"
Mine. Dli Val smiled. "Leave, all the
details to me, my friend. Tomorrow your
Hudora will be Just where you want her."
Under her breath, she added: "Perhaps!"
"Very woll; Introduce mo." And under
his breath ho added: "Von tiger rnt: you
mean some trickery Hint T shan't be In on.
But If you hnrm one hnlr of her head!"
Still, his lips wero smiling nil the while.
Tho Introduction took placo. That in
stinctive warning ns of old did not stir
Zudora. This rather agieeahlo voung mnn
In no wise created nnv suspicion In her
mind. And when she nccepted pn Invita
tion to dnnce she wns pleased to find a
nimble dnneer. Storm, however, did not
take to this new man. As n matter of
fact ho did not tnko to any voung mnn
where Zudora wns i onrerned. So ho
fretted nnd fumed during the dnnee nnd
regrotted thnt ho lind been persuaded to
comn. Mme. Iu Vnl talked, but lie never
could i ecall what she talked about.
Finally Balrd brought Zudora back,
bowed, and mndo off elsewhere, rather
satisfied that he had mado some Impies
slon upon his whilom nleeo.
"Coma," said Madam to both Zudora
and Storm, "let us go lo the conserva
tory. I hnvo como remnrknble orchids "
She led tho way; and It occurred to her
thnt this moment would be ns good a.s
any. Shn rather wanted Tinlid nut of the
way while disposing of Zudora. In the
corridor there was a. wall seat. Tho en
trance lo the conservatory was at tho
other end of the conservatory.
"Let us sit here for a moment," said
tho hostess. "Mr. Storm will get us nn
Ice, nnd then we'll take a look nt tho
orchids."
The two women snt down and Storm
hurried off toward tho supper room.
Mine. Vu Val leaned back and absently
tupned the wall with her fan.
"Walt Just a moment," sho said, rising.
"I will get you an orchid beforo Mr.
Storm returns."
Zudora watched her complacently. Sho
sensed no danger whatever. Perhaps her
mind was too busy with this problem of
the Van Wick boy. Some ono In this
houso knew; sonio ono had warned her
to keep away, Sho wondered If she
dared tell Mme. Du Val, who seemed to
be an agreeable creature. Sho heard a
light sound and turned.
Immediately sho was 'seized by strong

arms. A hand covered her mouth nnd
sho wns drawn swiftly behind the wall,
which closed instantly Into place ngnln,
Sho felt her hands nnd ankles being lied,
nnd sho was blindfolded and gagged. No
ono spoke. She was lifted up nnd car
ried through n secrot passageway. Then
she smelted the slcklsh odor of chloro
form, and after that blnnkncss. When
sho came to sho wns In n smalt room.
She wns still blindfolded, but her ears
were nllve. and sho could hear the
plaintive sobbing of n child.
Meantime Storm returned wllh the Ices
to find tho bench deserted. Ho sat down
the .llbcs. grumbling)), nnd went out to
the ballroom. Ho saw Mme. Du Vnl nnd
this stranger Balrd talking pleasantly.
"Madame, whore Is Miss Keene?"
"Why, didn't sho run after you to tell
you to bring eofTco Instead of Icos? I left
her Just ns she departed for tho refresh
ment room. Doubtless you will find her
there."
Sturm rushed nwny, not nl nil pleased
with events. Thero wnB no Zudora In the
supper room; there wns no Zudorn any
vvhem to be found. Then bis suspicions
worn fully nrnused. lie knew now. Ilns
sam All was bark of all this
He appioached Mme. Du Val. "Where
Is Miss Kcone's uncle, Hassam All?"
"Hnssnm All?" sho repeated.
"O, he left shortly after tho flrst dance"
snld Bnlrd. "Ho seemed ill." Ho turned
tn Mme. Du Vnl. "What mndo you In
vito that contemptible old fnkcr?"
Storm found that bis dislike for Bnlrd
was not so strong ns nt the beginning.
Any one who culled llassnm All eon
tcmpllblo had nt least solno attribute In
common with himself.
"I will Inquire If Iho young lady has
been to tho dressing room," said Mme.
Du Vnl. moving off.
But Zutlora's clonk and scarf wero still
on the bed in tho dressing room. That
was enough for Storm. Ho loft tho
houso Immediately and drovo to pollco
headquarters.
Upon his dopnrturo from the Du Vnl
houso Bnlrd resumed his Hnssam Ah
disguise und rotunied home. Zudora was
his. Ho concluded to mnko his patron
a visit. Tho teal Hassam All wns evi
dently sinking. To Balrd's eyes thn
mask of death already lay upon the
pinched features; tho mind nlons was
vigorous.
"Keen, you nro on your death bed."
"Am 1, Indeed?" Ironically. A fit of
roughing followed, and Hnssnm All
writhed upon his cot.
Tho Hassam AH standing over him
frowned.
"Wlieio Is tho will?" lie asked.
"Do you wish to murder me?"
"In God's name, no! But you are
dlng and I've done all your work on
promises of tho future. You know that
you aro dying."
"Where Is Zudora?"
"Sho Is In the bunds of Mme. Du Val."
"You will bo a pauper, my man. If you
fall this time. Sho must dlo, die!"
"No, sho shall not dlo. You nre not
a bumnn being; you aio a fiend. Zudora
shall not dlo for the simple fact that I
havo grown to love her!"
"Grown to lovo her!" Keen fell back,
looking as If ho woro really dead this
time.
Balrd left tho chamber, angry with
himself for having given tho old
scoundrel n gllmpso of his heart. But
ho was dying, there whs no doubt of It
at all.
Zudora, together with the Van Wick
boy, wero taken away from tho baso
mout where they had been cuii'men, nnd
fiom the whlspciH floating about, Zudora
understood Hint they wero to bo conveyed
to n .ship of some Hort Sho understood
(or thought sho did) now; sho had been
lured to the Du Val placo for the purposa
of abduction. Tho scoundrels who had
kldnnped the Vnn Wick child feared her.
Whether Mme. Du Val had nny place In
tho affair she was not ready to determine;
but It was rather odd that a good womnn
should llvo in a houso with secret rooms
nnd exits.
It was through a simple countryman's
alaim that Zudora and the child wero
brought back to tho world again. The
old man bad rend nbout tho abduction,
nnd tho sight of a pathetic little boy be
ing carried aboard a caboose on a siding

wns enough to set hi suspicion Into
lively action. It telephoned the 10110,
who" in turn -warned the metropolitstt
force. And that Is how Storm and tli
detective nrrlvetl In tlmo to prevent th
catastrophe.
The kidnapers put up e. strenuous bat
tle nnd neatly all of thorn were captured
Balrd alone escaping. But ettangc to
relate, Balrd had taken sides with lbs
police. In reality It signified that the
turn In tho road had taken place, walrrl
wanted to be good, wanted to go back
to tho world1 again with clean bends, And
guard tho woman he had grown to love.
It .lug Into his very soul to turn this)
womnn over to tho arms of John Storm,
but he did so,
Thnt iht Hnssam All died In his little
cell, and with hint died his double, for
never ngaln would IMInl don that black
