Patton Goes to New York
The announcement by headquarters that
J Woodbridge Patton, Deputy Scout Com
missioner of Philadelphia, has resigned
to accept a position as Field Commis
sioner attached to National Boy Scout
headquarters In New York, came as a
surprise to Philadelphia Boy Scouts yes
terday. He has been with the movement slnco
It was started, more than four years ago,
and was so closely connected with every
thing the srouts did that It is hard for
them to realize that he Is no longer to
be found at headquarters. His face nnd
figure were familiar sights on every scout
occasion and In virtually every troop
meeting place. He waB an enthusiastic
worker among the troops, which he vls
tsted nightly with his Illustrated lec
ture, "Roughing It Out of Doors With tho
Boy Scouts." He was given the "glad
hand" every time he arpeared or his
name was mentioned, and It Is safe to
say that no man was more popular among
the 30CO scouts of the city than was "Mis
ter I'att'n," as he was called by the
boys.
As Gettysburg scout executive, he was
at the head of a body of more than 300
scouts, the Gettysburg Boy Scout Service
Corps, who saw service during the Get
tysburg encamnment In 1913. He also
held honorary positions In nearly all the
city troops, from president to "best
friend," and conducted much of the field
work of the organization His work took
him into every corner of the city, where
he organized troops, advised scoutmasters,
conducted tests and Inspected troops.
Mr, Patton helped organize the Philadel
phia Boy Scouts and was at oncu mnde
scoutmaster of Troop 21, which has grown
Into one of the most flourishing troops in
t'ne city. Three years ago he gave up
his icoutmastership to take over tho
duties of field secretary, and a year and
a half ago was appointed deputy scout
commissioner. The brass band of Troop
21, which ho organized, was the first In
the city. It played at President Wllson'a
Inauguration. He was most active In
outdoor work and was associate director
of the Treasure Island camp.
Scoutmasters are planning a rousing
"sena-on to ine lormer Deputy Commis
sioner, who wilt return to Philadelphia
before permanently
York. The plans
tlon by t'uo city troops nnd tho presenta
tion of n, gift which will show tho re
gard the scouts havo for him.

THE THEATRE
Troop 61 Finds Camp Rose
Assistant Scoutmaster Sacks, the troop
staff and the patrol and assistant patrol
leaders of Troop CI, hiked out on tho
State road Sunday and found n place con
venient for a camp, which they named
Camp Rose, In honor of their scoutmaster.
William S. Rosenbaum. The troop wilt

Include a demonstra- After dinner. In a snowball trench fight,
xiio ficventn wave of the Gllbert-Sulll-vun
revival nt tho Metropolitan came
flooding In with "lolanthe" last nlsht
and broke In a dashing foam of joy and
brightness. Tho six preceding operettas
were each 111 their way brilliant and fas
cinating. This one was superb In every
way. Except for tho performance, un
happily not seen hc.e, of "Patience" by
this snmo company, nothing moro wholt
souledly delightful has been heard on tho
American stngo In many years. And re
memberllig tho Hungarian offerings,
"Sari." "Tho Merry Widow" and "Gipsy
Love," that Is Baying a great deal. "But
a u.-ii:i ui mo muses Knows that it
Is Justifiable.
i'lrst thero was mufllcal parody of
everything from Hnndellnn pomposity to
mld-Vlctorlnn sentimentnllty, a la Balfe
Thero was musical trickery and parody
mingled In tho entrance song of the Peers
No ono has so deftly given character to
a crowd as Sullivan with his entrance
For example, "When I First Put This
Uniform On," In "Patience," or the
choruH In the "Pirates." Not even the
"Tried and True Bulgarians" of "The
Chocolate Soldier" can approach them.
There was music as witty as the verse
in Lord Tolloller's ballad:
Spurn not the nobly born
Wltlt love affecte,.
Nor treat Illi vlnuoua acorn
The well-connected.
And so on through the duets and trios
and part songs of every description.
Then. Irt the order of value, there was
a wealth of good fun. Lost night the
whole company became a group of come
dians, the fairies tripping without any
notion of why they were doing It wero
na funny as the Peers, with their superb
dignities, and Private Willis was as funny
In his sobriety us tho Chancellor In his
Of Arcadro!
They nro of tho very simplest stuff, but
they Indlcnto that "All" does not npprovo
of Strophon, corrects his pronunciation
as n icbuko nnd Incidentally supplies tho
librettist with a double-edged rhyme. And
there was Hie swiflcnt kind of Intellec
tual fun to mnkc up for the rapid-fire
horseplay In tho duct between thn Fairies
and tho Peers, In which ench takes down
the other by Identifying all tho foreign
phrases, from "prostlgo" to "holpollol."
The rhymes needed to bo ilnnhl..crn,i
to keop up with tho satire. It waa easy
enough for generations of mankind to
sntlrlzo the nobly born. Just ns easy as
to snub tho humblo. It took n master
satirist to realize that tho high-born
may sometimes ho virtuous. In spite of
melodrama, nnd that tho wealth may suf
fer tho pangs of lovo nnd Indigestion ns
well ns those who lire not blessed with
this world's poor goods. So when Phyl
lln spurns the snoh who "hnn mmmnr
nnd spelling for two nnd blood nnd be
havior for 20," with the assurance thnt
"I enn spell nil tho words that I uso, and
my grammar's ns good ns my neighbor's,"
mo if promptly torn Hint:

As In tlm lonly nlr

Yet Mr. Gilbert was not a peer at the
time, and was making out no case for
the House or Lords. Tho good Willis,
loud In his praises of that nntnrn whlrii
contrives that "every boy nnd overv gal,
that's born Into tho world alive. Is either
a little Liberal or else a little Conserva
tive." also gives thanks that tho Lords
havo to leave outside their brains nnd
cercueiium. too. and vote Just ns their
leaders tell 'cm to. And Lord Mount
Ararat points with prldo (most decidedly
thnt Is the phrase) to tho Napoleonic
dnys when "the House of Peers through
out tho war did nothing In particular,
nnd did It very well." The satire cuts
Into everything pretentious. Into every
thing vnln and foolls.li, nnd Into many
things which nro qulto lovely, Tho
Comic Spirit, Meredith tells us. makes
us laugh nt those we love, yet lovo them
none the less.
"Putting across" Iho Comic Spirit is an
achievement. The compnny last nlclit
was nt mo lop or its exceptional powers.
.Mr. Hopper was tho bravest soldier of
laughter, because ho was the mast
studied, and, therefore, seemed tho most
natural. Ills humor Is second naturo
with him. His lines had little of satho,
but he wns himself a superb satire, of a
great many things Judicial and Injudicial.
No moment of his nppearnnco was wasted.
Against him oven the Bruennhllde-like
Mario Horgan, as Queen of tho Fairies,
could not hope for a show.
Last night ono song was omitted which
should have been sung: "Do Belvlllc was
Itegardcd as the Crlchton of His Age";
and there was an entirely unjustifiable
interpolation of n ilag-wavlng stanza,
which somehow didn't seem to havo much
reason behind Its little thyme. It should
bo mercilessly forbidden In the future.
Among tho innumerable anecdotes told
In club, drawing room or hotel lobby, by
nclors who took part In tho making of
"Tho Kternat City" in Uomo last July,
ono of tho funniest relates to tho first
visit made by tho Famous Players to the
suburban Villa d'Cstc, In Tlvoll.
"A young man who conducted our bunch
i , ,iiJn nt Intnrnreter." relates a dl-
I rector of tho Famous Players, "was also
booked to help us out In tho picture. o

Now If nil tho world loves a lover, then
It Is equally truo that oil Italy loves and,
In a measure, fears an army ofTlccr In re-

"When, therefore, wo arrived nt the
Tlvoll railway stntlon and climbed down
out of the coaches, wo noticed a tremen
dous kowtowing on tho part of all tho
minor rnltway officials. We couldn't
understand their obscqulcscnce. It
dawned upon us nt Inst. Our Interpreter

costumed to rcpreBont. Ho was carrying
oft tho bluff with tremendous eclat, too.
Whatever ho ordered was Instantly forth

Any ono who has seen "Tho Internal

terpreter, posing as tho real officor ho
was costumed to represent, merely or
dered tho omnll army of railway officials
to nut the whole track system of tho

An Unrewarded Hero
Harry Dunkln"on, L'ssanny actor, res
cued a woman and her child from serious
injury, and tho woman domanded his ar
