The Chichester family Is In difficulties.
It Is also In the Adelphi Thcntre-or will
be tonight and that accounts for the
rather unusual behavior of these English
aristocrats. "When tho news arrives of
tha loss of their Invested fortune, there
Is naturally only one thing to do depend
on tho son as financial savior. By the
standards of county life In England aa
wo meet It In tho theatre, this means an
advantageous marriage. And considering
the mental calibre of Alarlc Chichester It
Is a very fortunate, solution. It's still
more fortunate thnt Peg arrives about
this time, not only to act as the other
party to this marriage, but to supply a
living to the Chlchosters whllo they wait
For tho heroine of "Peg o' My Ilenrt" Is
a little Irish-American girl, who combines
Impetuous and raggamufdnly qualities
with ft neat llttlo Income for anybody
who shelters and educates her. And tho
Inevltablo result, as Mr. Hartley Manners
works It out, Is that the Chlchestcrs Jump
at the chanco to llvo oft Peg and then
twit her and snub her and generally mis
treat her because Bhe likes to lug an
Irish terrier and violent Irish accont
around with her.
Now, If the Chlcheaters nre of tho stage
stagey, and If tho way Peg returns good
for evil by saving the daughter from a
love affair -with a married man Is a little
moro like well-built comedy than real
life, there Ib still a great deal In this
exceedingly popular comedy to account
for Its exceeding popularity.
Tho principal thing la Peg, with her
tongUe and her dog. Tho last two ad
juncts unlto to produce many vory human
little comments on the ll'o about them.
A comparison of the white poodle-thing
In Miss Chichester's lap with the shnFgy,
dear, delightful "Mlchnel" brings out tho
observation that "thnt thing nevor iwuld
be President of tho United States," i.nd
tho explanation that "Michael" barks at
it "because ho thinks It's a rabbit."
Warm-hearted, Impetuous Peg rushes on
through the play seeing things with the
cjes of democratic youth nnd comment
ing on them with a frankness that may
be Impolite, but, at any rate, 'h human
and amusing. As Florence j artln haB
played Peg In neighboring cities and
as she will doubtless play her tonight
at tho Adelphi, sho Is the life of the play.
There arc some other pleasant features
to be recorded. One of these Is delight
ful II. Rooves Smith's delightful .Terry,
and another Is tho nay Peg wins and
ueds this friend of tho family nnd only
spot of light nnd hope In the gloom of
England's snobbery. Two other plncrs
of tho original cast spread considerable
delight In their wakes. One Is Tetcr Bas
sett, most perfect of outlets. The other
Is Hasfcard Short, who succeeds In making
Alarlc both a cad and n man. The law
jers, maids and Chichester fcmnles, who
complete the cast, nre no more to bo Ig
nored than the excellent solid wood loom
that frames them with a tasteful reality.
"Peg' has come to Philadelphia very
late In her young life, and hundreds of
reviewers have already explained Just
why this simple and unpretentious piece
should have proved so popular. For all
their sarcasms at Mr. Manners' notions
of the English urlstocincy, tho fact re
mains that the play Is wU en with skill
In dialogue, set nnd ncle" In Just the
right If.v of actualltj and mot thiough
with gleams of kindly, rpossuilng hu
manity. "Peg o' My Heart" brings the
comfortable conventionality of our older
comedies up to date.
Here in Philadelphia
This evening tho Extension Players a
name of rather startling Impoit If it
weien't for the fact that they nre under
the direction of tho University Extension
Society will present a trlplo bill at
Wltherspoon Hall. Tho novelty of the
pieces to be given lifts tho venture out of
the ordinary field of amateur acting. This
evening there will be John Kendrick
Bangs' "Proposal Under Difficulties";
'The Stepmother," a satiric comedy by
Arnold Bennett, and "Sabotage," a re
markable little piece from tho Grand.
Qulgnnl in Paris, acted for the first time
In America. Tho bill for March 12 Is as
Interesting, with George Mtddleton's "Em
bers" and Stanley Houghton's "Dear De
parted" and "Fancy Fre." Needless to
say tho Interest of the University Exten
sion Society in the event will not prevent
the acceptance of money from any one
who wants to get In.

GEORGE WASHINGTON
HERE IN MANY GUISES
Two Dozen Philadelphians
Bear That Name and Follow
Varied Lines of Activity.
There- are two dozen Georga WashlnB
tons In Philadelphia. It Is only fitting
that this city should have an excess of
George 'Washlngtona In view of a number
of events which happened In and around
621 Chestnut street. Thero was an Inci
dent there In 1776 with which Wellington
was closely affiliated, and ho was also
connected with affairs In Germantown
and thereabouts.
As new Idols are destroyed every day
by high-priced Investigators who fight
the truth, with flowery phrases, soma
one may eventually rise and declare that
there was no Revolution or any Wash
ington, If they do, the George Wash
ingtons sprinkled around Philadelphia
Will Hte In righteous Indignation
Patriotism didn't affect the energy of
the 2-1 aeorge. Washington's here. Twetvr
of them aro laborers, one Is a barber, an
other a. bootblack, and thero Is a mln
lster, a puddler, a, porter and a. presl
dent. It can be seen, therefore, that they
could readily establish a community of
their own Jf necessary. The laborers
could do the hard work, they could be
khaved and ehlned by the barber and the
bootblack, ha,ve dinners served by the
Walter, receive spiritual advice from th
"rgyman and lie judiciously ruled by
the president
Borne of the Georges are very versa
tile. One of them, a NegTO, who lives
Rear Wth and locust, streets, Is a white
washer and furnishes muslo for all occa
Ions. When there Is nothing doing In
Whitewashing and harmony, he Is an un
oertaker'a assistant, and also does a little
paperhanglng. which, of course, doesn't
Werfere -with his IHUe restaurant
As for George Washington Smiths and
Gsorg Washington Joneses, there Is no
4 at piera In tfro directory and they're
U ral patriots.

Over In New York '
After a disheartening try-out In Boston
Inet fall, where nobody was very much
Impressed by It, "The Trap" has been
revamped for Broadway consumption. Tho
consumption should occupy a very short
time, If tho coldness of tho critics Is to
be depended on. Originally a vnudovlllo
playlet by Richard Harding Davis, It has
been supplied with throe more Rets by
Jules Eckert Goodman. The Times de
scribes Its substance as 'a Yukon Past
and the Atalklng ghost of an Illegal mar
rlairc, an unpromising mine claim sud
denly converted Into enormous wealth, a
blackmailer trailing his easy victims
down from Alaska to Now York, a revol
ver fired from behind a curtain by a
woman's hand and a man taking the
btamo upon himself." An excellent cast
acts tho plcco. It InctudcA Martha Hod
man, Tully' Marshall nnd Holbrook Bllnn.
The New York Winter Garden has a
now Bhow. It In called "Maid In Amor
Icn,' and It lives up to all the Implica
tions of Its name Tho manufacturers
of "Dancing Around," stand sponsor for
It, but tho piece devotes Itself to bur
lesquo of plays rather than of plot. Tho
cast Includes Mile. Bazio, Nora Bnyes,
Stlnerva Coverdalo, Yvotte nnd her
violin, Maud Lambert. Blossom flcolov
Yancsl Dolly, Bolle Aahlyn, Marguerite

VETO FORESTALLS JOBS
PROMISED TO OLD GUARD
i
Democratic Annex Was Counting on De
ficiency Bill Benefits.
Old Guard Democratic leaders, It de
veloped yesterday, wore hit particularly
hard by the Governor's veto of the 50.000
for extra legislative employes, for which
provision' had been made in the deficiency
bill. The Democrats were to have re
ceUed from the Hepubllcan Organization
about a dozen good-paylng places In both
branches had the J50.000 Item been al
.lowed to stand.
Now the Democrats feel that they have
been "eold-brlcked." Kor they supported
the Organization In voting a return to the
old-time "slate" committee, Under the
rules of the 1913 session, tha Democrats
received automatically nPrJPottl?"a'
Share of the patronage. This time they
were told that If they supported the Or-

committee and also supported the de
ficiency bill, with Its 50,000 patronage
rider, they would be "taken care of as
soon as the bill had become Uw. But the
Governor vetoed the $50,000; o that not
only Organization, but aUo Democratic
followers were sorely disappointed,
More than a dozen Democrats who had
been promised places went to Harris,
burg expecting to receive the plums when
the Governor signed the bill. They spent
money for railroad fare and hotel bills
and now will have to pay their fares bacH
home.

Lubln Will Continue Serial Releases
"Wo most certainly shall'" was the
emphatic response of Ira M. Loury. gen
eral manager of tho Lubln Company, to
nn lmulrj as to whether his companj
would continue the rcleaso of seilal
stories. "The series and the serial have
becomo as important In tho picture busi
ness as they aro In the magazine world
and should occupy the samo relation to
other forms of releases as U borno b
Instalment stories to the other features
of good magazines. It was to meet an
obvious need nnd In compliance with n
strong domand that the Lubln Company
released, and this Information will be
Adventurer,' In 15 single-reel Instal
ments, one each. "cck. Of course, wo
hnd nn exceptionally good story pro
duced by a star cast, but the success of
the serial exceeded een our expectations,
and most omphatlcally confirmed our
theory that a serial should be released In
single-reel Instalments, and should not
be drawn out to undue length.
"I may say here that a great mnn per
sons fall to realize how vitally Important
It Is that a serial be a really good story.
Of course. It Is most desirable that every
subject, whether It bo a half-reel or five
reels, be a good story, but should It un
fortunntely happen that a house shows
one film without particular strength, nt
permanent harm Is done It is soon over
with and good stories, which have pre
ceded and will immediately follow, will
cause It to bo forgotten It Is n passing
Incident- On the other hand. If a serial
story Is poor, people will actually keep
away from the house showing It. "VV
have learned much through experience
with our two Instalment stories already
released, and this lnfoimatlon will be
applied to the advantage of the third
serial, which will Immediately follow,
'Patsy Bolivar.' But Just at this time I
do not wish to go Into details concerning
the new subject, beyond saying that it
will consist of 15 single-reel Instalments,
released at the rate of one each week,
that It will bo produced by an excep
tionally strong cast of popular players,
and that It was written by Emmett
Campbell Hall. The title of the new
eertal Is 'The Road o' Strife.' "
Miss Dorcas J. Haas la at It again,
with the third Instalment of her movie
poem, which follows:
A DnEAM.
I x klndapped by the Villain
And fores don tha bumps
Of a camel's back;
Oh, my but tho bumpal

And oh, what a lurprlaal

Tho opera of tomorrow evening, "tome,
llans-aene," deservea well of rhlladel"
phla for a varietr of recuons. XVo can
not have Qeraldlno Farrar too often, we
cannot have rrloquale Amato too often
for our taste. And wo cannot havo too
many new operas If we nre not lo stul
tify ourselves with eternal repetitions of
that horrlblo nightmare, tho standard
repertoire. (Because even n nightmare
becomes stupid If If can bo predicted.)
Critical opinion and popular pleasure
are somewhat at variance In New York
concerning Umberto Giordano's score for
"Mme, Bang-Oene," but there stems to
be no question concerning the adapta
tion of Rnrdou'n brilliant comedy and
no reservations concerning the Interpret
ation given to It on Monday, January 25,
1915, when it had Its premiere It would
be possible to give at this thn reports
of that first performance, wherefrom a
Judgment could be formed. But precisely
this should not bo done, because It Is
highly doslrnble that Philadelphians grow
Invotcrate In tho habit of tenting all new
operatlo things, ae well as contented
with the things which are good. Cer
tainly no one wishes to dispossess opern
of Ita glorious favoritos. Equally sure
It Is that If wo do not patrontie what
Is new, even when the new things turn
out unhappily, there will be no ndvance
for us.
The Metropolitan In lis announcements
do not liernld Giordano's opera as the
greatest of the century. They aro satis
fled with tho simple statemont that It Is
a noteworthy, work nnd affords a pleas
urable evening. ItMs for us to pass final
Judgment upon IL And by that token,
It In for tis to so hear, observe and be
come capable of Judgment.

IS COFFEE A FOOD?
This Is the Quostion Puzzling Court
in Adulteration Case.
7t was agreed In Quarter Sessions
Court today thnt coffee when boiled Is a
liquid. But Is It food? This Is the puz
zling question bearing heatlly upon the
legal mind. Discussing coffee, the stnr
tllng Information was brought out thnt.
because we sip coffee with n spoon, It la
not proof that It Is not a food. It was
shown that we also sip soup ana orotn.
This argument occurred In tho ense of

1214 Ridge avenue. He was indicted and
convicted of soiling adulterated coffee,
nnd his counsel, B. D. Ollcnsls, sought
for u auspcnslon of Judgment before
