Should be eternal fame by an announce

ANN MURDOCH
Porter Emerson Browne Talks About His Two Plays
Which Philadelphia Will See Monday,
One With Ann Murdock.
It la not often that a dramatic author
has two ot his plays pioduced In tho
same city on the samo night and at two
different theatres. Yet that is v. lint Is
going to happen to Porter Bmeison
Browne on Monday night. At the Oar
rlck Theatre will bo produced a new
play from Ills pen caitrd "A Olrl of To
tiny," with Ann Murdoch its tlio star, nnd
nt tho T.lttle Theatre his "Mich Mnn. Poor
Man" la nlpo to be produced. Sometimes
a innnngcr will have two of his plays
running in opposition, one to the other,
but in these days It Is Indeed rare that
an author has two of his dramatic works
produced on tho same night.
A call by appointment nt his hotel found
Mr. Browne very tired after a strenuous
day put In at rehearsals. Ho is a man
In the early thlitics, with vory dark hnlr,
big, brown eyes, n well put-up figure that
looks very muscular, an exceedingly
pleasant face, and he conveys the Idea
that ho thoroughly enjoys the Jojs ot
living.
"You know," ho said, "there was origi
nally no Idea of having both of my new
plnys running here at the same time.
Rich Man, Poor Man' was scheduled
for production here, but 1 had no Idea
that 'A Girl of Today1 was to be played
hero at tho same time. It will be an odd
sensation for me.
"Miss Murdock, who Is tlio Btar of 'A
Writing In this week's Issue of the Sat
urday Evening Post, William A. Brady,
tho theatrical manager and producer,
details hla reasons for entering the mo
tion picture business. Among other
things he says:
I went Into tho moving-picture busi
ness because 1 could not lt back nnd
bo still while almost every other the
atrical man of Importance was getting
Into tho game. I had to take advan
tage of everything that came my
way. You will understand this when
I tell you that last year I had 30
companies on the road, while this
year I have only elx not ono of them
making any money worth while.
I kept out of the moving-picture
business as long as I could, because
I had no faith In It: but when I was
offered a guaranteed profit of JIM.OOO
this year for tho use of my plays in
tho moving-picture theatres I uuc
cumbed not to greed, mind you, but
to the instinct of salvation. Mr.
Belasco, Mr. Frohman. Mr. Savage,
Mr. Shubert and Mr. Erlanger went
Into the business; and so did I. We
had to do It. Conditions made such
a course Inevitable.
Thero was n time some few years
ago when we managers.who controlled
almost cvcrylng that pertained to the
theatre, had things In our own hands.
Then, If manage! s, actors and authors
had stood together, the movlng-plcture
business would have gone on the
rocks. The works of the amateur
scenario writers for tho film game and
tho services of the wooden, mechani
cal cumcra actor had censed to bo of
use to the public. People would not
go to see them.
A decline In business faced the moving-picture
men. Many would have
been obliged to shut up ahop. So they
went right Into our game and offered
us fabulous sums of money for some
of our old plays. And we shortsight
edly fell for their play and supplied
ovir enemies with material to keep
th'em going. That wa the time they
rammed our ship and we jumped
aboard theirs. And, being aboard
their ship, we had to keep It afloat
for our own salvation.
Oniccr! He's Out Again!

ot Yltagraph players, whoso destination
was Saranaq Lake, N. T-, Albert Roc
card!, styled tba rollicking' comedian of
tha Vltagraph Company, was heard to
remark in a boastful manner there waa
nothing he nJoye4 moro than tho soli
tude of the woods, and that his sense of

THEPilOTOPLAY
Olrl of Today,' Is Burely one of the most
talented young women of the Btngo that
I have ever mot. She Is rot only young,
with all of tho ambition of youth, but
sho linn a grasp and u technlquo that are
rcuutrknblo. Her optimism la simply de
lightful nnd I have never seen surli u
capacity for work In nn actress. Ddilng
the long period ot rehearsals she was Cue
first to arrlvo at the theatre and the
last one to leave It. She Is almost as
Indefatigable na Charles Prohman. who
personally directed all of the rehearsals
of 'A Girl ot Today, and who hat the
greatest capacity for work of any man
that I have ever known.
"It was Mr. Irohman who gnvp mo t'ne
original Idea for the play. Ho told mo
of a certain scene lie had ln mind nnd
then he told mo of the wonderful capa
bilities of Miss Murdock. 1 went home,
thought It all over and thon started In on
the manuscript.
"The types In the play that I have
drawn arc modem ones, but 1 know each
and every ono of the cnaractcrs, because
most of them llvo In my home town. I
live In the country, you know, and had
Charles Klein for a, neighbor before he
shook the dust of America off his feet
nnd went to England to live. Characters
arc one of my hobbles I am never hap
pier than when I am studying them, and
I endeavor to draw men and women as
I And thorn."
convinced Mr. Itoccardi he wo'ild have
to make good. Securing a woodman's
outfit and slinging a .3$ over his shoulder,
the doughty Vltagrapher sallied forth Into
the vastneas of the forest. Some few
hours later It clouded up and began to
snow.
As tho violence of the storm Increased
and Mr. Itoccardi did not return, after
having been gone the best part of the
day, tho members of the Vltagraph Com
pany began to worry. The afternoon
passed with no abatement of the storm,
nnd Mr. Itoccardi still among the missing.
Ten o'clock at night searching parties
were organized, who scoured the woods
until early dawn, but with no success.
After breakfast additional parties were
sent out to extend their search further
Into tho woods.
It was not until noon that Mr. Itoccardi
was discovered, comfortably housed In
an old log cabin 15 miles from the Lake,
preparing a dinner of broiled bear steak
cut from the choicest portion of n bruin
he was fortunate enough to have shot
the day before. Mr. Itoccardi not only
made good bis boast, but now has tho
laugh on the rest of the Vltagraph party,
as he has a mngnlflcent bearskin to show
for his trip North, besides a JI0 note re
ceived from the State, a bounty on the
head of the bear.

CAR STRIKE ANNIVERSARY
Five Years Ago Today City's Trans
portation Service Was Crippled.
Today flyo years ago Philadelphia was
In the throes of the worst street car strike
In the history of the city. Following the
discharge by the Rapid Transit Company
of 172 men C. O. Pratt waa dispatched to
this city by the Executive Board ot the
Amalgamated Carmen's Union, and at 2
o'clock on Saturday afternoon, February
13, 1910, Issued an order for a walk-out.
Although tha men were ordered to re
turn their cars to the barns before leav
ing their posts, rioting Immediately broke
out In all parts of the city, but the scenes
of disorder were worst In Kensington and
the northeast. Crews were driven from
their cars, two cars being burned com
pletely, and the mob of strike sympa
thizers were dispersed only after squads
of police repeatedly charged with drawn
revolvers. Volleys of shots had to be
fired oyer the heads of the crowd before
order could be restored,
Tho strike lasted nearly two months,
and In the meantime cabs, wagons and alt
sorts ot equipages had to be utilized to
get about by residents of the city. Tho
men went back to work under protest on
April 18. The transit company had two
previous strikes as a result of conflicts
with the same union, one In 1900, tha
other in 16S5.
