ON PLAYWRIGHTS
Continued from l'ngo Four
Hpl was advised against by my wife, my
children, my business manager and my
stage manngcr.
1 One or two of my biggest failures I
was absolutely certain wouid be successes
when I read them over and over again,
too but when I saw them In rehearsal I
B began to leallzo they woijtri bo lailuies,
ana men camo wnat is one or the great
est trials o the manager, tho having to
0 on rehcirslng and producing a play
he realizes cannot possibly be a success.
Be has to work with all possible spirit,
nnd must not give any one the flrat hint
of his fears, or his company would be
come bo depressed ns to give the play
even a worse chance than tho manager
feels It has already.
One play of that kind I produced a few
years ago, I had spent over a year dream
ing and planning for Its success, arrange
Ing, and working over the manuscript,
thinking out the scenic decorations. Imag
ining tho lighting effects nnd helping the
costumer In his plans. I first realized It
would not bo a success as I was reading
It to tho assembled company. Poor old
Slay. Itecjulescat In pace.
And yet, what huppy times .1 had plan

trying to hide from myself, ns well as
from otheis, the Inevitable failure that I
felt hanulntr over it like a nail ready to
1 drop.
The concert of tho Philadelphia Orches
tra yesterday afternoon had every inten
tion of greatness; Us symphony was the
fifth of Beethoven, its overture the Schu
mann "Manfred" and its concerto was
composed by Brahms and played by Fritz
Krelsler, The splendor of these things
Biado for artistic exaltation, but It also
revealed even tho slightest shortcoming1.
The orchestra, In tho first place, did not

leason. as It should have done. Mr. Sto
kowskl's conducting, with all Its brava
fire and enthusiasm, seemed momentarily
,to lack discrimination. And Mr, Krelsler,
greater yesterday than all but tha great
est of violinists, still fell short of the
ubllmo grandeur and perfection which
8 nsntruiiy his, which ho nas snown
hers twice this season and which we may
expect him to show again.
So much needs to be said for the sake
,of historical accuracy, Tho detail of the
performance yesterday need take but lit
tle account of the overture, which was
played with gusto and strength. That
this spirit should have overshadowed all
ethers In two-thirds of the symphony was
;. ?rettable. Tho andante alone was played
wn irreproachable spirit, and here, on
two occasions, the horns afflicted the sen-
nve ear. Tho andante is, of course, the
most popular of tho movements, but it Is
none the less difficult to find the exauls.

Llr. Btokowskl found It to the fraction
of a second, and his 'cellos and his wood

una subtlety of feeling, But tne nrsi

hould possess, and tha last two move

Inspiring locale where tho biblical nar

the beautiful new pictures, In color nnd

of Palestine. Throughout his entire Jour
ney last summer Mr. Newman made
special efforts to photograph picturesque
types of the present-day inhabitants, so
little changed from biblical times that
they give an adequate conception of tho
characters In Holy Writ. Many places
entirely new to travel-lectures will bo
shown, including Mt. Slnal and Petrn,
tho mysterious city of sapphire rock in
tho Arabian desert, to reach which Mr.
Newman organized a caravan of 23 men
and 20 horses and camels. Thenco the
Itinerary Includes Jericho and tho Blver
Jordan, Bethlehem, tho many sacred
places In and about Jorsusnlem, Naza

Orient Is seen at Its best.

PHOTOPLAYS
Tho Chestnut Street Opera House con
tained 15 men and two girls. It was 11
o'clock Thursday evening, and tho house
was shrouded In gloom and silence. Tho
moving plcturo machine began to whirr,
and on tho screen appeared tho titular
announcement of "Tho Avenging Con
science," a U. W. Crimths picture, based
on Edgar Allan Poo's "Tho Troubled
Heart" and "Annabel Lee." Hero bo It
bald that, from tho photographic lcn
point, this plcturo Is 10 years In advance
of anything attempted hitherto. Ad
jectives fall to descrlbo tho marvel of
tho plctute, tho amazing tricks played
with tho camera, tho exquisitely beauti
ful scenes and tho artistry and poetry
of It all.
Dut Poo is grucsomo ever; or was it
tho deserted theatre and tho nbsenco of
muslo that impressed tho beholder; that
gripped him and her In a grip of horror;
that hold tha auditors spellbound for
nearly two hours. It waa a plcturo such
as only Poo could film stupefying In Its
Intensity, awful in Its brutal realism, yet,
withal, wondrously symbolic, filled with
tho poesy of love, hypnotically pregnant
with tho thrill of tho story It told.
It would not bo fair to the producers to
detail the plot that would spoil the pic
ture for too many. But, nevertheless,
some tilings may bo written about so un
usual a picture.
To begin, the film Is half an hour too
long. It Is too powerful to Inflict upon
human emotions for one and three
quarter hours. Then, too, there are
scenes depicting the Saviour which are
of dubious propriety. And a scene
between o. grocer's boy and a maid Is
foreign to the story and unnecessary. Tho
nnale to an antl-cllmax, absurd and extra
territorial, if such a phrase may be ap
plied to a photoplay. It shows tha god
Pan playing his pipes, luring the nymphs
and animals to him. It Is picturesque,
true, but has nothing whatever to do
with the play Itself.
Still, Manager McCarthy of the Opera
House, deserves all possible credit for
Bhowlng "Tho Avenging Conscience"
even at 1 a. m. But If he Intends to
have It follow "The Christian," he should
havo It cut materially. And here ba It
mentioned that "The Avenging Con
science" Is better than "The Spoilers,"
better than "The Christian" better than
anything In tha photoplay line, shown at
the Opera House or elsewhere.
The New Tioga Theatre
Tioga possesses Philadelphia's newest
motion picture playhouse. It Is the
modern nre-proof Tioga Theatre at 17th
and Venango streets, and Its, doors will
be thrown open to the residents of that
section tonight There 1 a seating capa
city of 1700 and the safety of patrons
is assured by JO exits.
The theatre Is constructed of steel
throughout and every attention has been
given to the securing of every comfort
for tha patron. There are no stairways
of steps, nor is there a balcony. Every
seat is on the ground floor and not a
single post obstructs tha view of tha
screen.
Architecturally tha theatre Is a worthy
addition to tho playhouses of the
city. It has a strikingly effective facade.
Tha Interior is marked by a chaste beauty.

Praise From Sir Hubert
That the moving plcturo show has
proved tho most powerful agent for tho
upbuilding of sound morals In college
students that tho United States has ever
known, was one of tho assertions of
President Jacob Qould Schurman, of Cor
nell University, at the annual banquet ot
tho Cornell Club of Western Pennsyl
vania, given In his honor In Pittsburgh on
Ihursday.
"In Ithaca," ho said, "wo have found
that tho 'movies' are a most potent factor
In maintaining manly fellows of our stu

Leah Build, ono of tho popular stock

story of her life In pictures clipped from
numerous publications. Tho care exer

ot love and Miss Build's most prized
possession. Tho first plcturo Is a remnrk
