(dvertlsemcnt of yesterday, In which tho
producer, Neil Wnylitirn. explained that

finds him. as sho Joyfully thinks, sow
In? Mi wlM oats, when ho Is really bo
k.vinff Impeccably. Tho most obvious
trouble, however, Is tho lack of loally
tfltty lines. Tho speeches that explain
the appearance of a rural milliner In tho
hero's flat, the speeches that accompany
tho Introduction of tho mint nnd of such
further complications as a friend trlm;

eien the speeches of that chorus Rlrl
herself lack snap, flavor, original turns.
-Thomas J. Gray may have a ly-oadwny
reputation for wit, but thiv' average
American farceur has many times bis
command of slanc nnd a much better
stocked notebook ot Jokes.
Further, there Is a difficulty that may
or may not bo laid at tho door ot the
original author. Tho farce partw com
pany with Itself between tho second and
third nets The first two provide somo
amusliiR situations not properly develop-ed-between
various lovelorn young men
ind women and various older relatives
The usual misunderstandings of farce,
which would survive about two minutes
of real life, arc playing hob with ovcr
tody's happiness when the Becond curta'n
joes down. When It comes up on tho
third act, we are told that some ono ha3
disobeyed Itulo No. 1 of tho farce wri
ters' union by explaining, nnd nil Is wlII.
Then what do tho authors do but start
the plot nnd the misunderstandings .ill
over again. Now, asldo from tho resulting
hiatus In the play. It becomes absurdly
evident to the audience that if tno peo
ple explained once nnd found out how
unusually well It worked, they would Im
mediately explain again. Tho misunder
standing business Is exploded for audl
ei.;e nnd players alike.
Be It said to tho credit of "She's In
Again" that the last net. In splto of all
this. Is undeniably funny. It concerns
Itself with nothing more than the coin
cidence of the hero nnd his aunt and tho
milliner all being assigned, unwittingly,
W to the same bedroom. There Is nothing
K but the cleanest mirth In It. Even the

and engaging spirit; Bho seems only bent
on Justifying tho posters.
If that hist act can't rruite make the
evening satisfactory, neither can the ex
cellent cast. And that cast has no less
charnilnir a young actress than Eileen
Van Rlene, with her refinement, prettl
ness and Intelligence. Then there Is Ada

Mimi Aguglia's "Salome"
Unheralded, except to her own coun
trymen, Slgnora Mlml Aguglla, the Italo
Blclllan actress, camo to tho Academy
list night and presented for the delecta
tion of a. sparse audience an Italian ver
sion of Oscar Wlldo's wicked and vicious
Play, "Salome." Tho play began a full
hour after Its scheduled time and was to
be followed by "Tho Adventures of an
American Girl In Paris." or soma such
Wjf thing, by Crotsset, who is represented by
c tjuwit in unouier uie.iiru m una
city. But Inasmuch as no American nd
ventures could parallel the adventuies
In neurosis of Oscar Wllde, the scnsltivo
reporter did not stay to see them.
It Is a modern canon that vlelousness
',' roust be made beautiful, or at least se
ductive, to Justify Itself In art. Slgnora
Aguglla made Salome first seductive, then
iaurd, finally appalling and nerve-rack-Jag
to an extraordinary-degree. Unhappy
the whole performance, with Its Insistent
prpmptings, Its beastly scenery and Its
iBlDOSstbln (lnnntnrr nnrtnlnlt? tvns. Rut
' the sight of the erotic creature gloating
oer the head of Jokanaan at the end was
10 Unnervinc thnt nn. fait hminri in RtflV
-ffr the brutal conclusion, to see Salome
Miuqeo. beneath the soldiers' shields, or
e memory of herVouId be too haunting
. forever.
Slgnora Aguglla Is frenuentlv talked of
I Ma great actress In her genre. Pos-
'oiy sho Is. But one can remember the
Wnt shrug of good Europeans nnd ot
good Italians, to whom her bizarre and
exaggerated attitudes are amusing and no
""re. There Is probably no American
Mmc. Knima Calve, ono of tho greatest
dramatic sopranos of tho French school
and unquestionnbly tho best Carmen In
the world, iccclvcd a cnrdinl reception
when she appeared at B. F. Keith's The
atre yesterday. The prima donna has not
been in this city In an operatic role within
tho last 10 years, nnd she had her audi
ence, many who knew her only through
her fame as a grand opera star, with her
from the start nnd until her last encore.
Sho was superb from n vocal and his
trionic standpoint, and tho stago setting,
that of a drawing room In buff nnd ivory,
gave tho Impression of a private recital.
Mine. Calve began her program of songs
with Gounod's well-known seienade,
"Gently Slumber," and she followed this
with "Lo Clarion," a dcscilptlvo battlo
song. In which tho opera star gavo ex
pression to her Gallic temperament by a
series of telling ,'cstures, while the modu
lation of her voice to suit tho various
sentiments was marvelous. An appio
prlately flaming shawl was thrown ucross
the diva's shoulder as she sang tho Haba
nera from "Carmen." To the delight of
those who. perhaps, were not entirely fa
miliar with operatic selections the prima
donna sang "Suwaneo Itlver" In English,
nnd ir an encore a cuilnus, unaccom
panied bit, a sixth century folksong ot
the Pyrenees Mountains, which was resur
rected nnd arranged by the diva.
Ilcglna Connelll and n company save the
bill n touch of ngreeablc comedy In Edgar
Allen Woolf'a "The Lollard." It was re
markable chiefly hecauso It afforded the
star an cppoituntty to Impersonate a
Highly young wife who left her husband.
Du Callon, an English comedian, who
kept up a line of Jesting and chatter while
balanced at tho top ot a high ladder, was
clever. Eddlo Cantor and At Lee, In black
and whlto face foolery, mado their local
debut and drew plenty of laughter with
their well-timed repartee. Dainty Marie,
whoso singing Is amusing, did her Inter
esting gymnastic stunts ngaln on tho
rings. Other entertainers were the Three
Whalens, Jesters and singers; Clark and
Verdi, clover Italian Impersonators; 5?eno.
Jordan and Xeno, aerial experts, and
Stlckncy's Circus.
Hero and There
Patrons who have the habit of leaving
tho theatre before the last act comes on
would be cured today had they stayed
for the final act at tho William Penn.
The Six Military Dancers, who wero
billed as unique and spectacular, lived
up to their reputation In every sense of
the word. With the correct military cos
tumes and scenic setting, saying nothing
of the dancing, It was one of the best
dancing acts that has appeared there for
weeks. John It. Gordon headed a com
pany which presented a farce comedy
with the setting In a Jersey bungalow.
The skit was called "Knight and Day,"
and kept the audience In a fine humor.
Tho Cross Keys enjoyed yesterday a
dancing act of venerable reputation but
constant charm. The Berlin Madcaps
have danced In variety and musical
comedy for a good many years. The
audlenco at the Cross Keys fully ap
preciated the riotous and energetic con-

Hint of the Metro Plctuics Corpointlon,
In which substantiation Is given the
rumor that Francis X. Bushman is to
leave the Ksnnny Company nnd become
a permanent star on the Metio program.
The deal was consummated by ItlchaK
A. ltowlund nnd Joseph Kngel, of tho
Metio Compnny, through Frederick .1.

Mr. Bushman renresentlnc himself. Just

not known, but the fact that Metro con
trols 20 high-class plnys and books, nil
calling for the Bushman tpo of lead
ing man. Indicates that Mr. Bushman will
bo presented In big Broadway plays with
a supporting cast of Broadway players
nnd with women stars playing opposite
him.
Coming on top of the announcement
that the Popular Plnys and Players'
Company hnd obtained most of tho fa
mous Clyde Fitch plays, that OIr. Pc

that William Favershnm Is a Itolfo star
on the Metio proRrnm, the fact that
sufficient salary Inducements wero held
out to Bushman to nttiact his slRiiaturo

And contentment, must get out Into tho

bo a man In every sense of tho word If
ho merely wants to exist.
Glaze has chargo of the cowboys at tho
ranch a bunch of men with splendid rep
utations ns riders, ropers nnd gunmen,
and ho Is well qualillcd for the Job, as
Glaze has been a gentleman adventurer
In many parts of the world.
Glazo was bom In Worcestershire, and
nfter attending school at Ilarrow-on-the-IIIll,
bo went to St. Bartholomew's Hos
pital In London to complete his educa
tion. It was thero that tho spirit of od
venturo flared up, bringing down upon
him tho wrath of his, fanilly, and Glazo
"hit out" for the U. S. t.
A few days after lamflng Glazo went
to Texas and got a Job punching cattle.
During tho next few years ho wandered
pretty much all over that State, and
always on tho back of a horse. From
Texas ho went to Montana. His next
big jump was to Alberta, In tho north
west of Canada, close to Calgary, where
ho ran a cattlo and horse ranch of his
own for 19 years.
Glnze played an Important part In help
ing to settle the new country and h
built one of tho most successful ranches
there. Tho desire for chnngo came to
him. however, and threo years ago bo
sold out, and with 311 ponies that ho uad
raised, went to New York and sold all
except a dozen of them.
It was while ho was disposing of his
ponies that Slegmund Lubin met the
ranchman. They talked for a few min
utes, and when Mr. Lubin returned ta
his big ranch, about IS miles outside ot
Philadelphia, ho took Glaze with him and
the remaining 12 ponies.

"Vour father," replied the conscience
less salesman, looking her mote clearly
In the ec than any honest mnn could
have done. "It jou li.ive tho time, wo
shall be plcnscd to glc MU n lesson In
running them."
Fern wns half way upstairs.
"Do you want your gray coat or our
furs, Molly?" she called us she went
"Something light," replied Molly,
equally excited, running out to Inspect
tho car, with the gentlemanly salesman
right nt her elbow, and highly pleased
with his Job. Tho chauffeur In tho blue
cur waited with bright eyes.
Fern, followed by Minn and another
mnld, both of them too Blow to be of any
service, came clnttcrlng on the poich
with two afternoon coats and two bon
nets, selected with less discrimination
than sho had ever used, and tossed ono
of them to Molly. "I'll bet It was
Sledge," she whispered, as she ran and
popped Into the blue oar.
Her coupe was the llrst to whhl down
tho driveway, but the ted one followed
In close order. Bert stood on the edge of
the porch, with his bunds rammed In his
pockets, nnd watched the end of the
win Id. Being a young man of keen
thought, however, after 15 minutes ot
numbness, he curled his mustache, took
up tho telephone nnd called Frank
Marley.
"Did you make a present of two auto,
mobiles to tho glrH?" he Inputted.
"Did 1 what?' gasped JIarley, out of
the midst or his plans for mnklng tho
proposed street car consolidation worth
"0 points' advance on hla stock to the
up-State syndicate.
"I thought not!" returned Beit, with
n ory near nppro.ieh to profanity. "1
didn't think jou'd weaken our capital by
a flve-thousand-dollar extravagance of
that sort."
"I don't understand ou," puzzled Mar
ley. "Two small, Inclosed cars came out
here about IR minutes ago. and tho mnn
In chargo ot them said that you sent
them. Personally, I think Sledge has been
getting fresh.
"It's barely possible." agreed Marley,
feeling a dangerous Indignation rising
within him. "Leave that to me. Bert.
As Molly's father, It Is my affair. I'll
Investigate It at once."
Palpitating with all a righteous father's
Jealous care, Frank Marley kept the tele
phone busy until he located Sledge.
"I Bay. Sledge," he blurted. "Did you
send out n couple of automobiles to my
house?"
".Vaw. Marley," chuckled Sledge.
"They're toys. You sent 'em. Do thev
like 'em?"
"I haven't Inquired," returned Marlcy,
"till standing by his fatherly dignity.
"Keally, Mr. Sledge, you know I can't
aiiow my daughter to receive extrava
gant presents of that sort from any ono
other than myself."
"Aw. cut It," advised Sledge, "r get
you. If they don't llko 'em, I'm the
goat. If they do, closo your trap. You
sent 'cm."
"Well, but"
"I say you sent 'cm," Insisted Sledge
with a gruff loss of tho cordiality which
has been apparent In his former tones
anil Marley heard tho click of discon
nection. Nearly an hour Inter two shining little
colonial coupes, the red-curtained one In
front, drove up to the Marlev porch
where Bert Glider gloomed In the door
way. They were driven by a happy girl
each, and hnd no other occupants.
i ",, ,mr.n,?1 ,ake a rl(, wl,h me. Bert,"
hulled Molly, so full of delight that she
had absolutely forgotten her quarrel with
him, which was a blow. Indeed. "You
can't drive, though."
Fern had emerged from her car.
Im going to have my dinner here."
she laughingly announced. "I think I

T:Vo' thanIc 5-ou!" returned Bert coldly.
Those cars are going back to tho sales-
rirnTon,AYs
room. I felt suro that your father had
not given them to you after our busi
ness arrangement of this morning. They
aro a, present from Sledge."
"Oh, please, no!" pleaded Molly, with
a heartsick glance at her red-curtained
car. Sho had loved It nt sight, but now,
since she hnd learned to know It, she
adored It. "How do you know that they
uro from Sledge?"
"I suspected It from the beginning,"
he sternly Informed her. "So I cnlled up
your father."
"I said they wcro from Sledge!" cried
l'crn. "Molly, it was awfully crude of
him, but I love him for It, don't you?"
"What did father say?" demanded
.Molly.
"He Is Investlentlnc."
Molly marched straight In to the tele
phono nnd called up her father. He
talked to her kindly, wisely and with de
liberation; also like a mnn who had given
himself plenty of time for thought. Bert

announced.

minuet, nnd snug a- merry tra-la-la nil
tho way through. Molly helped her sing
and dance the last figure.
"Three cheers!" sho exulted. "Now wo
may keep our cars."
"I never Intended to givo mine up,"
lorn nmrmed.
Bert walked Mnllv im,.i i,,ir. i.-
father's den.
"I have nothing to say about what Fern
does, he firmly announced, "but I havo
something to say about your conduct.
.i 1 iI,1.'t 8liut our cs to io 'net
tn.it Sledge has given you this car, and
he has no right to do so."
"My father says that t nm to consider
the car as a gift fiom him." repeated
Molly primly, but with a snap In her
eyes.
"Thnt Is only an evasion." Bert In
sisted. "You have wilfully misted SIcdgo
Into tho belief that you Intend to put
yourself In tho position of receiving
presents from him, nnd either this thing
must bo stopped, or there will be un
pleasantness between you nnd me."
"Thero Is one way to can head Hint
off, Molly quietly nssiired him. "Wo
can break our oiigugcnuMit."
"Impossible!" Immediately declared
Bert, frightened. "I didn't mean any
thing llko that, Molly." nnd ho attempted
to tnko her hands and perfoim a little
of tho love-making which he hud lather
neglected
"I mean It. though." sho Insisted, draw
ing her hands nwny from him. "Our
engagement has only brought trouble to
overybody concerned, and has subjected
me to more than one insult which I i-flftf
no right to expect. If we declare It T,"i
both you nnd father can go right baikf
to wnere you were In n, business way,"
"It's- too late for that," he nsurcd
ner, sitting tiown to renson It out with a
her on the commercial plane, slnco ahejj
scemea to insist upon it. "I could never J
regain tno political friendship which l '
necessary to my style of business1. lty.j
commercial career in this city Is at an"
end, ami my Social ntntidlntr wniiM fi i
nlso. Knowing this. I havo been In cor4
rcspondence with my people In Baltl-.j
more. They linve a magnificent business 1
opening thero for me, but it takes n.j
Munuicti luuus.-iuu oouars to ouiain con-
trol of it. 1 laid tho matter before your'
tamer, ami no investigated 1L Our con-1,-cluslon
Is this: If we can closo up our"
business satisfactorily here, and ho can
sell ithls place, wo shall have In tho
neighborhood of a hundred and fifty
thousand dollars, clear, between us. You
nnd I nro to marry, go to Maryland
with your father, enter Into business, and
tnko up tho social position to which we
nro entitled. When I tnko you there ns
my bride, Molly, everybody's going to
be very proud of you, nnd t nm quit
suro that you will llko the social atmos
phere there much better than hero. I've
dwelt on this so often to you that it must
seem llko nn old story, and yet this la
the first time that It haw seemed very
near lo us."
Molly felt herself wondering why this
glittering promiso failed to thrill her ns -
It had used to do.
"I'll bo tho proudest Glider that wa t
ever In tho family when 1 can take you
homo ns my wife," ho went on. "It's all
cut and dried, Molly, nnd wo expect to
have everything closed up before our
wedding tiny, If we can hold Sledge oft
that long."
"And yet you scold mo for helping you
hold Sledgo off, when you couldn't do It
ourseIvet" sho retorted. "Why, you,
actually suggested to tno that 1 should
see what t could do with him."
"I don't llko the way you're going
shout It," he confessed.
"You shoudl bo proud of me," sho re-,M-ovcd
him. "I think that Fern nnd I
linve done a beautiful Job of It." and she .
began laughing. "Wc'ro going to put on
our very best frocks tonight, and be n
credit to you. You're ungrateful," and
she began to look Indignant again.
"Let's forget It." offered Bert, laughing1,
nnd took her In his arms. "You'ro the
girl for me, Molly, and there won't bo
any moro envied couple In Maryland than
we."
He kissed her and held her, whlto ha
talked to her of the social triumphs which
awaited them, the topic which had always
pleased her most In their plans for tho
future. After all, they would make a
splendidly matched couple; moreover, sho
did owe It to her fattier and Bert to
give them another business start.
"Murder'" called Fern. "Molly! Oh,
Molly! Come nnd sec who's herol"
