belthat riches are bad for people: but
there Is tho oh-so-good guardian. It
might be that economic Independence
isn't a bad solution of difficulties for

June nt the Walnut
It looks very much as If "The Trail
or tho Lonesomo IMne" was to bo one
of those fortunate pieces that return year
after year to gladden playgoers and play
w right. Certainly Kugene Walter must
bo very well satisfied with the results
of tho work ho put Into making John
Fox, Jr.'s novel over Into drama.
Lost night the Walnut showed us lsa
bcllo Lowe as a charming June, living
the open life of tho Cumberland Gap
with all tho barefooted enthusiasm that
!b doubtless native to tho Inhabitants
and that pretty actresses delight to show,
Thero was the properly Imndsomo hero
to plungo Into lovo with June and tho
middle of a feud both at once. There
wero sullen mountaineers and a groat
deal of talk of "llckerln' up." nnd, of
course, that excellently conceived setting
which shows tho Lonesomo Pino at tho
top of the gap. It Is that as much as
anything which catches nnd holds that
breath of tho Southern mountains which
fills tho play.
VAUDEVILLE
Keith's
If there Is such a thing as holding an
nudlcnco In tho palm of your hand, Mrs.
Lcsllo Carter did It figuratively Inst night
nt Keith's. Sho went from laughter to
rngo consistently llko a woman who loves
without a conscience nnd was master nt
nil times of tho delicate scenes which go
to mnko Zaza, the tale of hopeless lovo,
an offering worth while In vaudeville.
Tho star was capably supported by
Hamilton Itevellc, William Lorcnz nnd
Miss Dolaro Belnsco. Numerous curtain
calls rowarded tho entlro cast.
When applause Is considered as an
Illustration of appreciation, Ed Mor
ton "cleaned up" tho show, which. In
tho vernaculnr of vaudeville, means that
he mudo a bigger lilt than anything nlso
on tho bill. All ho uses Is n dross suit,
a smile nnd songs which tell stories.
He could have sung on Indefinitely last
night If it were not for the fact that
other acts were scheduled to appear.
Morton Is a Philadclphlan, hut this had
nothing to do with tho genuine punch
which ho hnnded over tho footlights.
Thero have been all sorts of "Lady
Dnlntys" nnd "Society Queens," "Bits
of Dresden China," etc., announced on
vaudeville programs, but It Is' doubtful
If any of them can touch Miss Hazel
Cox, who sings new songa with a charm
nnd stylo which made her at once nn im
menso favororito. As all other titles
havo been stolen sho could justly bill
herself na Miss Simplicity.
Blckel and Watson, who delighted so
many In the Ziegfeld Follies, kept the
laughs moving in a discordant musical
act. fJeorge Wood, diminutive comedian,
gavo some clever character studies with
a European tinge; Lyons and Yosco, un
doubtedly the best "Italian" net In
vaudeville, showed how easy It was to
get applause when you havo merit to
back It up. The Okabo Japs did some
marvelous acrobatic feats, and the re
mainder ot the bill Included Cole and
Denahy and Mooro and Young.
Here and There
Scenic surprises nnd good musical num
bers combine to moke "A Night in the
Alps," tho headline feature at tho Cross
Keys, a highly entertaining production.
There Is a llttlo story Interwoven which
adds to the merit of the act. The songs
and stories of Harry Jolson proved a
good contrast.
Others who won favor were tho Five
Musical MacLarens, Howard Lane nnd
Company, The Brooklyn Comedy Four
nnd tho Three Melvln Brothers, acrobats.
Tho trouble caused by simply missing
a train was entertainingly explained by
Tim McMahon and Edith Chapelle at tho
Olobe. Grace and harmony wore brought
out In the act of Fletcher Norton and
Nina Payne. Of equnl merit were tho
offerings of Besslo and Harriett Rempel,
In "When Wo Two Grow Up." May
Melville, In character Impersonations,
nnd Gralg and Williams, who show that
foolishness Is more welcome than the
serious things of the day.
Miniature representations of many of
tho present stars are shown In "The
Lawn Party," which won favor at the
Nixon Grand. The net overflows with
singing, dancing nnd comedy. McMahon,
Diamond and Chaplow, with their ani
mated scarecrow, scored a big hit which
was deserved. Others who won applauso
were Devlno and Wllllnms, in "The
Traveling Salesman;" Norcross and
Holdsworth, nnd Madame Blalta, In "The
Artist's Dream.
-4-
There Is an abundance of novelty In
"A Dream of Tho Orient," presented
by Mndnme Makarenko and company at
tho William Penn. The act Is lavishly
staged and won deserved appreciation,
Tho audience was kept in happy mood by
Eddlo Carr and company In "The New
Office Boy." Vaughan Comfort and John
King repeated their former success In
"Coontown Dlvorcons"; Harry Breen of
fered ''crazylsms and song;" Hallen nnd
Hunter dispensed classical and up-to-date
music satisfactorily, and Epsey and Paul
also won favor.

Tho Angel of Kensington Is HI.
For 17 long, wenry years sho has pur
sued uninterruptedly tho work of reliev
ing tho distress of tho poor of her dis
trict, and now for the first time since
blio constituted herself their guardian,
sho Is not tripping her way from door
to door, leaving a cheery word horo or
a basket of food there, or both, If they
happen to bo needed.
Clght weeks ago, whllo going tho
rounds, she contracted a cold which
developed Into pneumonia, aggravated by
bronchitis. But It would tako more than
n severe case of pneumonia nnd bron
chitis to dampen the ardor of Mrs.
M. V. Ketchum. '
Tho realization that this has been the
hardest season her pcoplo havo ever had to
combat hns Inspired her with tho strength
nnd energy of several healthy women nnd
from the vantage point of her bed sho
Is looking after not only the 300 fnmlllcs
whoso names are on tho books of tho
Richmond Soup Society, but several hun
dred others who have turned to her in
their hour of need, whllo n disapproving
doctor nnd a horrified nurse look on
hclplos3 to stop her.
All day long tho telep'nono nt her bed
side rings. It may be the 21th Police Dis
trict, who has found a starving family
and wants to ask tho Angel's advice In
the matter of providing for them, or It
may bo tho principal of McClcllan
School with several underfed, under
clothed children on their hands.
Downstairs, Mrs. Ketchum's dining
room Is always filled with tho dregs of
humanity, and resembles most of tho
tlmo an overcrowded employment ngency.
Men, women and children who have
walked tho streets in vnln wind up here,
wondering if this good woman will be
able to get them food and work, And she
usually does. ,

NEW CZARINA WALTZ UNITES
LANGUOROUS WITH THE GAY
This article is the thirteenth of a series on Anna Pavlowa's New
Social DanceB and How to Perform Them, which appear on Tuesdays and
Thursdays exclusively in this neivspaper. These articles have been written,
by Mile. Pavlowa, who, as premiere ballerina assoluta of tho Pctroqrad
Imperial Opera, is everywhere recognized as not only the greatest living
dancer, but the greatest living authority on the art of the dance.
By ANNA PAVLOWA

"I let him como upstairs, and what do

left somewhat to one side.
The counts In this first figure are one,
two, three-four, five, six one. two, three
four, five. six. Tho lady moves for
ward, starting with the right foot, and
the cavalier goes backward, beginning
with his left foot. The first two count
units (from one to six) carry the dancers
In a line ot straight direction In regula
tion waltz time, and with fairly ahort
steps. The second two count units (be
ing tho second group of counts from one
to six) consist of a raising of tho bodies
of the dancers on the toes and lowering
them two times each.
The lady, moving forward, takes six
short forward Eteps of marked smooth
ness and with just enough dipping to Im
part elements of grace. These steps are
one. two, three (right, left, right), four,
five, six (left, right, left).
On (ho next six counts the lady rises
on her toes, tho feet being close together,
tho rising and lowering coming- once on
each three counts as: One, two, three
(rise fully on the toes), four, five, six
(lower until flat of feet rests on floor).
The second unit of one, two, three four,
five, nix Is a repetition ot this rising and
lowering movement.
Except that the cavalier Is moving
backward, and that he Is stepping on
the foot opposite that used by his lady,
he goes through the same evolutions.

Tho curious onlookers took the yeggman
for a repair man sent to open the safe,
which were left In the store by Albert 3.

Taking out a kit of tools, tha man at
tacked the. combination of the largo safe,
and. falling to open It, turned bis atten

was Impossible to open the safes, the thief
coolly turned around, smiled at the crowd

WILLIAM D. LEWIS PLEADS
tOTL SOCIALIZED SCHOOLS
t I,,
William Penn Principal Spcnks on
Education as Weapon of Democracy.
The school as a "socialized ngency for
human betterment" was described by
William D. tewls, principal of tha Wil
liam Penn High School for CJIrls, at the
luncheon meeting of the Poor Ttlchard
Club, 2.T3 South Comae street, today. "Tho
old idea thnt Instruction Is the only pur
pose of education is getting a good many
Jars Just now," he said.
"As the warring nations of Europe train
their fighters, perfect their armaments,
requisition private property, raze towns
to give unobstructed fields for gunfire, so
we, In our schools ,must bum Into tho
souls of American children the principles
of domderncy, so we must fuse the di
verse ores Into nn armor of Invulnerable
national unity, so we must drill and
arm the soldiers of our social, economic
nnd political righteousness," Mr. Lewis
declared. He exptalncd how this point
of view affects the course of study, the
organization nnd the discipline of a
sohool.
The definition of an uneducated man
given by Prof. William James was quoted
by tho spenkrr "one who Is nonplussed
by nil but the most habltuat situations."
"Apply that definition to a. good many
graduates of the old-time classical school
and seo If they squnre up perfectly with
James' Idea of an educated man," Mr.
Lowls said.

J. LOUIS BREITINGER
Chief Stato Photoplay Censor.
The question of photoplay censorship
Is approaching n crisis rapidly. Next
Friday afternoon, nt the Forrest Theatre
there will ho n mass-moctlng open to all
interested, nt which this problem will be
discussed by tho president of tho Nntlonnl
Hoard of Censor, Mr. Breitlngcr, tho
State censor, and representatives of tho
photoplay Industry. Films will be shown
to provo the contention of the manu
facturers nnd exhibitors that cutouts aro
unjustifiable and thnt censorship works
undue hardships.
Tho entire matter of censorship Is nn
open question, capable of argument until
doomsda.v. It Is tho contention of tho
motion plcturo men thnt State supervision
Is uncoii'rtltutlonnl. In thnt It contravenes
the section of the Constitution guarantee
ing freedom of tho press untl speech.
They hold thnt n movie film Is printed
matter; thnt it is a dissemination of news
and that ns such It ennnot be censored
any more than n newspaper.
On tho other side of the question Is tho
argument thnt certain features shown In
ninny Alms, such as ovcremphnsts of
crime, suggestive incidents nnd the llko.
should and must be kept from a mixed
audience. Then, too, it is asserted that
if tho censor law now prevailing In this
Stntr wero voided, police supervision
would entail endless confusion and ex
pense. It is nrgued that a film which
might pass tho police nt Bryn Mawr,
would bo cut or stopped in toto at Jenkln
town nnd vice versa, until the exchange
man would not know where he stood.
"There Is n new bill to be introduced In
the Loglslnturo noxt week," said Censor
Breltlnger, "which will alter materially
tho present law. To begin, It will reduce
CRACKSMEN BLOW SAFE IN
SIGHT OF POLICE STATION
Hammer Away Merrily and Undis
turbed Vithout Meeting Success.
Police have no terrors for cracksmen
who broke into the cigar manufacturing
establishment of Cauirield & Bralstead,
directly across from the 15th and Vino
streets station house, nnd after leisurely
trying to force the safe without success,
walked out with n bag containing 100-pen-nles
nnd several odds and ends which
were lying about loose.
Because tho Intruders operated right
under, thu noses of the bluccoats and left
behind tools which must have made con
siderable noise when they tried to ham
mer through tho safe door with them, the
police say tho cracksmen wore boys.
Their belief Is strengthened, they claim,
by the fnct that besides the pennies the
burglars took along with them nn inner
tube for nn automobile tire and several
empty cigar boxes.
Officials of the cigar concern aro at a
loss to undestand why the nttentlon of the
police was not nttracted, as the safe bears
evldonce ot having been attacked vigor
ously from tho side and rear with a huge
hammer. This, they claim, should havo
made enougli nolso to reach City Hall.

Then, too, duplicate films cost T2.t0' each

even to B0 cents, I cannot say ns yet. I
will do all I can to assist tho Industry.
"Thero Is nn erroneous Impression tnfli
I am purposely Imposing undtte hardship

There was raised a qutatlon to my right
to charge IS.E0 for each duplicate film. In

In the Stato Treasury, from which only a
special act of tho Legislature could have

Some Local Censoring;
Discussing the matter further, Mr,

GEORGIA ASKS HIGH COURT
TO IGNORE FRANK'S APPEAL
Attorneys Declare Conviction Should
Be Allowed to Stand.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 23. Warren Grice,
Attorney General of Georgia nnd Hugh
M. Dorsey. Solicitor for Fulton County
filed a reply todny to the aprcal of Leo
M. Frank from the verdict convicting him
of the murder of Mary Phagan, an At
lanta factory girl, in' which the United
Ptates Supreme Court la nsked not to dls-.
turli the decision of the Supreme Court of
Georgia upholding tho verdict.
Attorneys for both sides were In court
ready lo argue tho appeal, but It was not
expected that it would be reached beforo
Thursday because of cases that precede
It on the docket. The brief nrguca that
State courts have held uniformly that tha
absence of a defendant from court when
a verdict Is returned does not vitiate tho
trial, and that it also has been held that
a defendant may waive his presence.
