THE THEATRE
Shaw Talks on Talking
For Mr?. Campbell
In his old npo siiftw lias got his publlo
o fr educated uj to his earlier1 work
nt Mi latest dramas so far popularized
down lo the publlo that they meat on an
eveir basis of mutual and complete satis
taction, such no greeted "Pygmalion" at
the BroAd last night. In tho present case
fch&rt has achieved something- very like
Trqrlr, of that great compromiser of
Ideas and popularltyArnold I3enneU
The general Impression is surprisingly
like Uennat. Here Is a clever plot quite
ns odd and original as that "Great Ad
venture," which made an artist enjoy the
obsequies over his supposed demise. This
Is about n professor of phonetics -who
earns his living turning lotycr class per
sons Into tho linguistic equivalents of no
bility. Ho takes a flower girl off tho
streets, teaches her "to talk beautifully,
like a lady In a shop," and passes her
off, on a "bet, as n. fashionable guest at a
duchess garden party. All this, to tho
tuna of explanations of "Tho divine gift
of articulate speech," tho 130 distinct
vowel sounds, and tho professor's firm be
lief that he Is "filling up the deepest gulf
that separates class from class and soul
from soul."
When It comes to tho characterization,
tho parallel Is almost perfect. Trofessor
HfgBlns, "rather llko an Impetuous baby
taking notice eagerly and loudly," with
a manner varying "from genial bullying
when ho Is in good humor to Btormy petu
lance when anything goes wrong," Is al
most the other nclf of the bashful painter
In "The Great Adventure."
Yet "Pygmalion" Is Shaw all the same.
It Is studded, oven In Its least Shavian
portions, with such things as "It Is time
to think of the future when there 1b no
future to think of." And It has two long
speeches from an ash man that are quite
In tho old vein. This father of the girl
oxperimont Is ono of tho "undeserving
poor" and glad of It. He can't afford
morala himself; In others ho finds them
Just an excuse for not givinsr him any
thing. He blackmalla tho professor out
of a flve-paund note, and frankly ex
pects to drink it up In a, carouso with
the woman who, ho regrets to say, he
can't "get a hold over" because sho won't
marry him. It is only when tho will of
an occontrlo American millionaire has
rmdo him a lecturer In the Moral Ite
orm Society of tho World that he Is "de
livered Into tho hands of middle class
morality." It Is nil a characteristic and
fl.cllgh.tful Shavian raillery at conven
tional morality, ono of his Idea-ful Httlo
monologues. Most unfortunately, Ed
mund Gurnoy forgets that If Shaw Is
talking straight to tho audlcnco, tho actor
at least might pretend he Isn't
But thcro"Js something else quite In
tho vein of the old Shaw. And that IS the
undine, when tho girl Eliza and tho pro
fessor flght out in verbal duel the rights
of their relationship. She wants kindness
and attention, even love. He is through
with hla experiment and cares nofnlng
whether sho goes or whether she stays
on, at the same terms to fetch his slip
pers. Tho two batter out their points of
view In the brilliant old way of the early
Shaw.
If "Pygmalion" Is not the best of Shaw,
it is miles abovo Bennet. It is far more
full-bodied. It has liner Intellectual val
ues and a richer mental perspective. It is
worked out with more of dramatic crafts
manship. Tho scene where Eliza takes
her first social plunge at tho house of the
professor's aunt is tho most ingeniously
and heartily amusing scene of comedy In
many years. It gains, of course, from
Mrs. Campbell's playing, that quality of
automaton that she puts Into tho voice,
the terrifying halt beforo each perilous
"h." But tho substance Itself Is what
counts, the inherently comlo contrast of
the cultivated. If, uncertain, voice drop
ping the most Impossible of uncultivated
anecdotage. It Is genius.
Mrs. Campbell's whole Impersonation Is
that. To look the, young flower girl Is
no small feat, but the shadings of ac
cent in which she carries it forward is
something of real art. First, the thick
Cockney In the voice and tho stolid talk
ativeness In tho manner. Then the forced
precision, of tho first publlo exhibition.
After that a slight relapse In Intonation
as she grows angry and quarrels. Through
It all, even lntho smoothest of talk at the
end, the eternal evidence of the tongue
she first learned. A delightful perform
ance In a delightful play.
Tiske O'Hara at the "vfralnut
Were you at the Walnut Street Theatre
last night to see the opening performance
of "Jack's Romance" with Flske O'Hara,
the Irish comedian, we all know so well?
No? Well, you still have five days In
which to see it, and If you don't take ad
vantage of the opportunity youtll prob
ably regret it
Of course It's Irish, or at least the
action is staged In County Kildare, so the
program tells us, but everyone knows, or
should know, that anything with which
Flske O'Hara. is connected must be Irish.
Tho play has to do with a highwayman,
a long-lost brother of an Karl, and, of
course, love. How would any play be
complete without Its romance and the
mean villain? Throughout the piece the
good old Irish wit, always present in an
Irish play, is Injected Into it by all who
take part, and especially by Flske
O'Hara,
At first he is arrested as the highway
man after having rescued one of the road
agent's victims. Lady Constance Butler,
but the latter comes to his rescue, hla re
lease follows, and he seta out to find the
highwayman and to capture Lady Con
stance's hand. He succeeds In both. In
cidentally he proves to be the long-lost
brother of the Earl
Mr, O'Hara has a. very good support
ing company. Of Mr. O'Hara "himself
very little need be said. He Is Just his
same old self, Ethel von Waldron Is
very good as Lady Constance. Daniel
Lawler accredited himself as Edmund
Farley, the highwayman. J. P. Hullivan
as Sandy McFarland, a Scotch cattle
buyer, handled the accent very well, and

succeeded in Injecting more than ono
laugh during tho four acts.
"Innocent" nt tho Garrick
Of tho four theatres that presented now
bills last night, tho Garrlok showed Paul
ine Frederick In a piece translated from
the Hungarian by George Broadhurst,
"Innocent." This story of the ruin of a
girl through beauty nnd Innooenco will bo
reviewed in tomorrow's Evening. IiBDonn.
"lady luxury" nt the Lyric
Last night tho Lyric exploited In "Lady
Luxury" n musical comedy lately seen
In New York and demonstrating tho
comic results of a young helross' sudden
excursion Into extravagance. Tho piece
will bo reviewed in this place on Thurs
day. Shaw Double Bill at Idttlo
Besides "Pygmalion" at the Broad, Ber
nard Shaw was represented by two
shorter pieces ncted at the Little Theatre
by the resident company. "The Admir
able Bashvllle," a blank verse burlesque
founded on his novel of prlzo fighting,
and "Tho Dark Lady of tho Sonnets," a
comedy of Elizabeth and Shakespeare,
will be reviewed on Thursday.
KEITH'S VATDEVU.I.E
The navy Is well represented at Keith's
this week, but In a peaceful and happy
way. Arthur Prince, tho ventriloquist,
adds to the happiness with his unique act,
which is given aboard a battleship with
two seamen as assistants. One of the
tars Is a dummy, whose wit would win
high honors In a Broadway comedy. Mr.
Prince as an admiral had a number of
arguments with his crew and kept the
audience In constant good humor. Th
ventriloquist Is billed as the "world's
greatest." This Is evidently not an ex
aggeration. More navai atmosphere was furnished
by the flvo Annapolis boys, who, with a
background of turrets and guns, dis
pensed tho songs of the seas and were
well received.
In keeping with the occasion was Ce
celia Wright, known as the adopted
daughter of the navy. Miss Wright sang
the requiem foe the dead of the battleship
Maine at the service held In Havana last
year. She met with much favor last
night, and her singing Is enhanced by an
extremely pleasing personality,
Nat Wills, the happy tramp, lived up
to past records. He didn't deal with the
navy, but gave some local views of the
.European war and a little scandal. Ho
told the audience confidentially that a
French officer was found In bed In Paris
with German measles.
Ryan and Lee, a cyclone pair with nim
ble feet and funny Ideas, put lots of life
in the show and had considerable trouble
getting away from the audience.
"Lady Gossip," an up-to-date sketch by
Edgar Allan Woolf, gave an Idea of the
trouble which results from nagging
tongues. Miss Gene Hughes was the vic
tim of the gossip, and gave a clever char
acterization of jhe woman wronged. She
received able support.
Other acts which won favor were the
Hopkins Bisters In character songs; Mo
honey and Auburn, club Jugglers, and the
Armento Trio, acrobats.
HEBE AND THERE
"The New Leader," Aaron Hoffman's
travesty on vaudeville, delighted a large
audience at the Globe, This act Is a
graphic picture of what often happens at
a vaudeville rehearsal on Monday morn
ings. Al Lewis, as the Indignant leader
of high Ideals, scored an Individual hit.

acts which pleased were Julia Curtis, the
girl with many voices; Collins and Sey
mour, In "The Battle of Bay Itum"' Al
Ilayno's dogs, the Three Adnards and
Claud Itttnf, aerial gymnast.
Tho troubles of a girl at the switch
board are truthfully shown In "The Tele
phono Girl," which brought many laughs
t tho Penn. Dorothy llegal, ns the de
termined operator, was n truo-to-llfe
swltchtcndcr, nnd kept tabs on alt tho
wlro troubles without disconnecting nhy
of the laughs which make for tho success
of tho net. Following tho eamo paco was
"xlio Piano Movers," presented by lie
Devltt, Kelly and Lucy. Comedy, muslo
nnd dancing follow each other In whirl
wind fashion nnd keep tho fun-muslo to
the finish. Others who plenscd were Itlm
berly nnd Ilehr, tho Toyo Troupe and
Bristol's trained ponies.
There Is nn abundance of novelty in tho
show nt tho Grand, In tho way of laughs
first honors went to El Brcndel In "On
the School Playgrounds." This net deals
with tho troubles of a school Janitor nnd
a cranky teacher, who solvo their prob
lems by wedlock. Joo Kennedy performed
many difficult feats on roller skates: Hal-
len nnd Hunter gavo a delightful comedy
skotch, and Isabcllo Greene and Daly nnd
Kennedy also won deserving applause.
V CHOSS KEYS
Daisy Harcourt, tho English comedienne,
tops tho bill nt tho Cross Keys, and scored

COMPLETE CIRCLE THIRD
FIGURE IN "PAVLOWANA"
This article to the ninth of a series on Anna Pavlowa's "New Social Dances
and Joto fo Perform Them," which appear on Tuesdays and Thursdays ex
clusively In this newspaper. These articles have oeen written oy Mile. Pav'
Iowa, who as premiere ballerina assoluta of tho Petrograd Imperial Opera Is
everywhere reoognlzed as not only the greatest living dancer, hut the greatest
living authority on the art of the dance.
By ANNA PAVXOWA
In the "walk-around" each dancer now
moves without holding the hands of the
partner. Save for the touching of elbows,
at points in the dance, there is absolute
Independence. Tho concluding salutation,
which closes figure two, brings the part
ners face to face, ready for the one I
n,m about to explain.
This third figure requires that tho
dancers move In a complete circle, so
that at the close each shall be at the spot
from which the start was made. The
count runs from "one" to "sixteen," the
first four consisting of four steps taken
by each dancer on alternate feet, the next
four counts being used for a salutation
similar to the one explained In the pre
ceding article.
Alternate steps are once again used on
the third group of four counts and on the
last counts the dancers make their second
salutation (this time on two Instead of
four counts) after which the partners
take two steps toward each other to con
tinue the dance with the fourth figure.
The lady, having finished her previous
figure, finds on the pulsation of tho first
count, In the muslo that starts the figure
we are now considering, that she Is free
to make .her first step on the right foot.
Placing both hands on her hips she starts
her first part of the walk-around, step
ping first with the right foot, then the
left, tho right again and on the fourth
count the left
Steps exactly like those of the lady are
taken by the cavalier, he using the right
foot when she uses hers, and making his
salutation with tha knee ot his right leg
bent and the left leg as straight as pos
sible. Each dancer should take steps
averaging seven to nine Inches each, and
be careful to raise the foot every time

presented badges to Patrol Leader Joseph
Poikln and Assistant Patrol Leader Jo

F. Gray, of Troop D7, was also a guest of
Troop 61. A new system of work was

Bistant Scoutmaster Sacks will conduct
drill nnd meetings. Acting Assistant
Scoutmaster Levy has promised that any

floor, touching the ball of the slipper or
dancing pump only.
Just tho slightest dip to the body on
each step (barely enough to allow a low
ering and raising of the body a few
Inches) will add to the gracefulness of
this part of tho figure.
On the counts of "flvo" and "six" the
lady nnd her cavalier swing to their right
and execute the salutation, rising again
on the "seven" and "eight" counts Into
position to finish tho walk-around. Counts
"nine" to "twelve" inclusive are utilized
by steps tho exact duplicates of those
taken on the opening four counts of the
figure, and on "thirteen" and "fourteen"
the dancers complete their second salu
tation which, because of the shorter time
permitted for it, must be less formal and
not quite as deep.
On counts "fifteen" and "sixteen" the
lady and her cavalier take two steps to
ward each other, the lady raising her
right hand so it may be grasped by her
cavalier in his right, preparatory to the
lady making a complete turn to her left
tinder her own nnd her partner's arms,

ber of the exeoutlvo scout council. In tho
afternoon theV scouts did their "birthday
good turn" by distributing magazines and
games to hospitals to cheer tho patients.
A preliminary troop meeting was held at
St Paul's Reformed Episcopal Church,
Broad and Venango streets, at 7:30 p. m.
The celebration, which began with serv
lves at tho Tioga Presbytorlan Church
Sunday morning, wilt contlnuo until Tues

Scouts Wero Prisoners
The story of four Boy Scouts of Troop
13 who wero held captlvo for ono and a
half hours in a barn by five farmers
armed with guns, out on a Darby Creek
hike last summer, was told at the last
meeting of the troop. It sounds like a
Wild West tale, but Is true, being vouched
for by the other members of the troop.
Tho scouts Georgo Littlo, Joseph
Bourne, Randolph Moore and Edward
Wood beenmo separated from tho others.
They wero not In uniform. In crossing a
field they wero halted by tho flvo men,
who told them they were trespassing and
ordered them to march to a barn nearby.
The scouts thought It was a joke until
one of tho men flrcd at tho heels of one
of tho boys who attempted to escape. In
the barn the prisoners were made to box
with the younger of tho men and to do
other "stunts" until their captors tired of
tho amusement; then tho scouts wero
released.
Further useful work by 18-year-old Jos
eph Leysln, Belgian Boy Scout and
youngest chevalier of the Order of Leo
pold, Is related In dispatches from north
ern Franco, where he Is attached to tho
Belgian army.
Leysln, who was decorated with the
cross of tho order by King Albert himself,
ono morning captured a Uhlan single-
handed, according to the latest dispatch.
He was riding his bicycle along the sentry
lines through a forest when he spied the
Uhlan'B helmet. Jumping off his bicycle,
he hid in the bushes with fixed bayonet
and ordered the Uhlan to surrender.
"During my service with tho Minister
of War," said Leysln, "I had to carry
Important messages In all directions and
havo penetrated the enemy's lines ten
times, returning safe and sound after
accomplishing my mission. Twice I have
been captured, but each time I managed
to escape."
