Lewis Carroll's Scenic Designer
One of thoso scml-amateur organiza
tions that mako Chicago so very hnbltablo
to theatregoers has added a now vcrMon
- of "Allco In Wonderland" to tho other
"" curiosity of the winter a successful pro
duction of Shaw's "Philanderer." Tho
new "Allco" seems to havo reasonable
virtues ns comedy, but Its chief distinc
tion lies In tho discovery of another Amer
ican who practices tho now stagecraft.
The Hattons, thoso connubial twins of
crltlcG'm, explain about It In tho Herald:
"On tho opening night each sccno wns
a fresh Burpriso. Tho hall of doors by
ItJ clever heightening of tho furniture
and the entrances conveyed the Illusion
that Alice was shorter; tho submarine
effect of tho scene In which tho Mock
Turtle and the Griffon apcar was uniquely
successful, and the piquancy of tho Car
roll talo was emphasized In tho droll dc
ilgn ot tho garden set.
"One noted In these Henderson designs
a studied use of brown, green, blue and
gold. Tho colors were for tho most part
what the artists call 'low.' Mr. Hender
son has a real Idea about all this. Ho be
lieves that tho coloring of scenery moro
often than not defeats tho most strenuous
efforts of tho actor. High colors and tints
of great vibrancy set up an nctlon of their
own which kills off tin expression on tho
player's face. The Impact of the color on
the eye sets up a nimbus, or halo, about
the flguro on the stage, which blurs the
features."
Mainly Personal
Gus Hill, who ordinarily confines I1I3
efforts at aiding tho poor actor to sign
ing companies for "Mutt nnd Jeff," hns
extended operations to a novel achemo
for boosting tho membership of tho
actors' fund. This is a clauso in tlio
contract that every member of tho com
pany coming to tho Walnut next week
received when he joined "Mutt and Jeft":
It Is a part of this agreement that
every employe of the Gus Hill Enter
prises must become a member of tho
Actors' Fund before his season opens.
The company manager is hereby
authorized by tho party of tho second
part to deduct the fee of $2 ftom
the fourth week's salary of any ono
fating to enrol beforo leaving the city.
', Uupert Hughes wroto a good many
,lays beforo Excuse Mo got over, a
Tact that James Montgomery Flagg thus
v'oni.-nemorates In his volumo of carica
tures, "Tho Wcll-Knowns": "Rupert said
' after the nroductlnn of a successful nlav.
'vell, I'm only human I can't fall all
he time.'"
't Mr. Hughes is no longer forced to wrlto
luccesses. He has found a now sourco
of fame and fortune. At least a man
In Indianapolis thinks he has:
"As I seo your advertising ns writing

"If So that you do not writing any

Mr. Hughc3 didn't answer,
'News Notes

' heard of tho success of his operetta In
America. For he has named Ills new

Jinny ycni-B ngo Charles AViirncr, tho
nnglish nclor, olectrlfled tho thentrc-golng
world with his nninzlng Impersonation "f
a sot In "Drink." A couple of years ago
"The Question," another play depleting
the pvIIs of drink, was shown at Daly's
Theatre, Now York. Both plays wero
powerful arraignments of the drink cuiso.
But strong ns they were, neither had the
appeal, tho faculty of stirring emotions
of causing personal resentment against
tho rum seller, which "Rule G" possesses.
Hero It must be explained that Ittilo
actually ixlsts. Somo years ngo tall road
wiecks with attendant loss of life wcto
all too common. Tho vnrious r.illtoadt
Investigated, with the lesult that tho
blamo was put on the di Inking habits ot
cnglneeiH, switchmen, conductors and em
ployes generally. Ah n result, Ilulo O,
which prohibits drinking during working
hour3 nnd the frequenting of drinking
places, was promulgated nntl enforced.
Tho photoplay shown at the Stanley
Theatre today proves tho caso of piohlbl
tlon beyond a doubt. With usual direct
ness it tells the story of drink among
railroad men. It depicts the coiiEcquences
of rum-drinking better than any veibal
sermon could. It Is nn arraignment,
brutal, powerful and fascinating. Its
scenes vibrato with vitality; the truth
spenks from tho screen In an object les
son bound to carry conviction to the most
hardened drinker.
Sccnlcally and from a photogrnphlu
viewpoint, "Rulo G" Is spectacularly
splendid. Ono big scone follows another.
From tho moment where a young mill
employe, n victim of drink, is giotind to
pieces In tho cogwheels of tho machinery,
until tho triumph of temperance and do
cencv, tho picture Is one thrill after an
other. Ono sccno In vhlch n farmer's
wagon Is ground to pieces by a locomo
tlvo run by a diunken engineer, Is hor
ribly realistic, for tho nccldent nctually
takes place and tho killing of tho horse
Is shown.
Another scene shows tho wrecking of
a building by a wild locomotive. Tho
big scene, however. Is tho railroad wreck,
tho like of which lias never beforo been
B'nown on a screen. Tho acting Is on a
par with tho photography.
New Lubin Serial
The announcement recently mado by the
IvUbln Company of a new 15-rcol serial to
bo called "Rond o' Strife" has created
much Interest In tho movlng-plcturo
world. Tho author is Emmctt Campbell
Hall. Mr. Hall was among the first of
tho authors of established reputation to
dovoto himself exclusively to photoplay
writing, nnd for sometime contributed
Inrgely to the Blograph, Kalem and Sellg
companies, refusing to ally himself with
any ono manufacturer. When, however,
tho Lubln Company undertook, about two
years ago, to assemble a staff of p'noto
playwrlshts which should Include tho
best men nvallablo, ho becamo a member
of that organization. His serial, "The
Beloved Adventurer," achieved a remark
able success, but It Is Intimated that tho
forthcoming "Road o' Strife" Is far su
perior to anything ho has heretofore
done.

REMOLD YOUR SOUL,
PLEADS "BILLY" SUNDAY
Continued from Pnire One
loso as ushers, nn nudlonce ot moro than
S00 men and women crowded tho old
Orecno mansion. Many wero moved to
tears, and when, at tho close ot tho meet
ing, tlio evangelist appealed to his audi
ence tu earn a place with God In heaven,
many jumped to Oiclr feet.
"I feel that I am better fitted to fill
my place In this world, better now than
ever before," said ono elderly woman,
ono of the first to answer Sunday's call
for tha men and women to tako their
stand with him for 'Christ. Tho seeno
wns most Inspiring. It was tho first llmo
Sunday hnd made such nn appeal In
this city at a parlor meeting.
"Billy" ehoso ns his text: "You Shall
Bo Missed, for Your Seat Will Bo
Empty."
"The saddest thing In all life, I think."
the evnngctlst said, "Is thnt many of
us, many of you hero, will not occupy
tho place In heaven thnt God hns In
tended for you. It Is a great disappoint
ment. It Is enough to mako one's blood
shudder. Don't let God hang a 'for tent'
sign on your sent above.
"You look at a hobo and say he In a
failure. Ho may bo as far as economic
conditions nre concerned. But I assure
you that the rich man, poor man, beggar
man nnd thief, tho society hello or mil
lionaire, all alike, may bo failures In this
world not only tho poor man. Tako It
from me. I know. God hns n plan
mapped out for each ono of us In life,
Just llko tho architect, In putting up a
sky-scraper, considers the weight on
every bolt, tho wind pressuro nnd every
dctnll.
"This world Is not like a big nlarm
dork which God has wound up and set
alde to run down at leisure. If wo only
knew how much God has planned for Us,
It seems to me that wo would mako more
plans for Him, nnd not live simply to
gintlfy our own desires. It matters not
whether they he mercenary, Intellectual
or social. God haB n plan for tho drunk
ard, the gambler, tho girl selling her vir
tue. Tho troublo Is that many persons
Insist on side-stepping. Wo are all In this
world by God's appointment. It seems to
mo tho best thing wo enn do Is to live
in hnrmony with God.
"God's plan Is a failure, as far hs many
of you folks nre concerned, because you
oio not tilling your proper places In this
woild.1 That Is as truo ns two nnd two
mako four. I tell you tho drunkard, tho
harlot, the thief nnd tho Inlldel are not
tho only ono who nro sldo-stepplng. There
aio others. Still, retribution will como.
Esau, after ho hnd sold his birthright,
didn't ho cry to havo It back? All here
today know their place and duty. Tho
question is: 'Do they fill that placo?' I
can't 1111 your placo any more than you
enn fill mine; but God has planned a
role for each of us, and we mUBt fill It
to the best ot our ability.
"Speaking of God's plan Ho did not
plan for diunkenncss and tho red-IIKht
district; He did not plan for saloons,
biewerics and distilleries. He planned
heaven for man and hell for the devil nnd
his nngcls. If wo servo the devil wo
must go to tho devil. It's no uso boating
uround tho bush."
Accompanlng Mr. and Mrs. Sunday were
Miss Grace Snxe. the Bible teacher; Bent
ley P. Ackley, Sunday's secretary and
pianist, nnd Homer A. Rodehenver, tho
choir leader. "Hodey" sang somo of hla
fnvorlto solos nnd led the audlenco In
singing "Brighten tho Corner Whero You
Aro" and other popular revival hymns.
Mis. Greene was assisted In receiving
by her slsteifi, Mrs. Taul King and Miss
Salllo H. Greene.

SUNDAY'S SERMON TODAY
"THE POTTER AND THE CLAY"
Mr. Sunday's themo this afternoon wns,
"The Potter nnd tho Clay," his text being
Jeremiah, U:4-"8o Ho mado It again."
He saldlii part:
"Among til tho human crafts none i
moro wonderful than that of the potter.
It's a mingling of the vision of tho mind
through tho functions of the fingers. They
give expression to the vtaloit-oliicrwiss
It could not bo seen.
"At tho tlmo Jeremiah called upon tho
prophet, tho peoplo of Israel wero In a
desperate condition. They literally had
given themselves up to sin, nnd tho heart
of tho old prophet wns almost breaking.
For 40 years he had stood ns a bulwark
against their Idolatry, and ho cried out
to the nation which was rushing head
long. Ho mado his way to tho house of
the potter. Ho watched tho pottor as he
put tho clay upon tho wheel. Ho watched
and listened to the wnlrrlng wheel, saw
tho shapeless, Inert ciny take foim and

of this Incident.
MARRED RV THE POTTER.
" 'X.arrcd In the hand ot tho pottor, sd
ho mado It again. For somo reason the
potter wns unnblo to make what ho had
In mind, but he did not crush and throw
It away. Ho Boftcned tho clay, picked
out the pebbles and tlnahcd It again on
tho wheel. .Teiemlnh erica out In tho
words of my text: 'O God, Israel Is tho
clay and Thou art tho potter. Fashion us
again according to Thy will.'

That's true. The cloy cannot elect or de

The central glory of man Is that ho can
elect that ho can choose.
"Theio nio senses In which the dlstanco
between God and man Is greater than be

Creator, man Ills crcaturo; God Is In
finite; man, finite. God can do nil things.
Between the potter and tho clay there
was no Intelligent communication. Be
tween God and man there can be, and
thero Is. When you say the clay cannot
wish. It cannot desire, I tell you clay can
not resist: but man can elect, ho can
choose and ho can resist. I can Ming
