excellent vaudeville days. Joslo Intro
pedl playing the pursuing feminine (bor
rowed, no doubt, from Shaw) was a
ttlflo terrible to look upon, amusing nnd,
except for her drunken scene, exhilarat

to be sure, but It wasn't attractive. The
fcaturo dancing was by Edmund Mnkallf,
nnd It was good.
Tho astonishing thing Is that In spite
of all Its notnblo defects, "The Lady In
Ited" should have given so much pleas
ure. It mean-, chiefly that there Is a lot
of ro l the music and splendid possi
bilities In tho cast. Tho heartiness and
good wilt of tho latter wasn't wasted.
But It could bo moro discreetly expended.
All they need to do Is to roll tho

Stock Season at Walnut
Histrionic history had a local repetition
last evening when tho Walnut, tlmo-hon-ored
In tho annals of Thespls, turned
again to "stock," which In Its older sense
flourished In the early days of tho play
house. In one of the successive com
panies resident In tho historic theatre,
nccordlng to tradition, Edwin Forrest
mad.o his debut In "Young Norvnl." Com
ing down to a more recent period, Eugenie
Blair for a couplo of seasons headed stock
companies there.
Whatever ls dono at the Walnut ls ac
cording to some fine old precedent; nov
elty has long ago been exhausted In Its
most varied career. Tho most recent ful
filment of trndltlon. In the form of the
stock company which Inaugurated Its sea
son last night with William Ingersoll as
star, was worthy In every respect of
achievements of tho past. Mr. Ingersoll's
several seasons here as chief of tho Or
pheum Players established him as a prime
favorite, and his faithful following was
out In forco to welcome his appearance In
tho title rolo of "D'Arcy of tho Guards."
He was greeted royally In Henry Miller's
old part of tho British officer quartered
in tho homo of a fair "rebel."

picturesque melodrama of Revolutionary

Llko a dream of spring Is the fashion
show at Keith's this week. Everything
that woman wears from the time she
opens her eyes In the morning until she
closes them at night Is shown according
to the very latest craze. It would re
quire a father of abundant purse to fol
low tho pace set by the scoro of beauties,
who show you what Is proper If one
would be up to date.
Eve herself appears first, clad In smiles
and flowers, and then tlmo Is bridged
quickly as stately, smiting nnd coquettish
girls appear In spick-and-span out-of-door
costumes, which Includo everything
from riding to bathing. Arthur Geary,
who acted as host to the girls of fashion
In a picturesque garden, sang during the
time they donned their afternoon and
evening raiment. The types selected were
Ideal, and In many cases looked as If they
had stepped from tho shiny pages of n

A Vague Comparison
From Chicago a nowspaper reports the
following as the best sellers for a week.
The list Is only of two companies, but
It la given here for what It's worth ns an
Indication of varying tastes.
The thrco most popular Victor records
during the week were:
"Silver Threads Among the Gold," John
McCormack.
"Tlpperary," medley one step, and
"Midnight Whirl Bag," ono step, Victor
band.
"Tho Little House Upon the Hill," Beed
and Harrison, nnd "When My Ship Comes
In." Campbell and Burr.
Among the Edison records the follow
ing three have had the largest sale:
"Echoes from tho Movies" and "Through
tho Park March," accordion, P. Froslnl.
"Mllllcent." waltz hesitation (McKee),
nnd "Tho Cnrnlval One Step" (Pollack),
Janda's Society orchestra.
"A Little Bit of Heaven" nnd "Irish
Eyes of Love," from "The Heart of Paddy
Whack," Frank X Doyle, tenor.
Comparisons In this case aro a trifle
misleading because It Is not stated
whether the list Is compiled ns the lists
given above have been compiled. But
of one thing there can be no doubt.
When Chicago and Philadelphia and tho
cities which He between them are all
buying the same records, those records
must have tho real "punch."
New Recordings

"clean-up" time for the preceding four

Ledger will be pleased to answer ques
tions relating ts his department.

A summer season of photoplays was
opened yesterday at tho Garrlck Theatre,
tho first attraction being Edward
Sheldon's play, "The Nigger," filmed
under tho name of "Tho New Governor,"
with William Fnrnum In tho principal
role The photoplay Is powerful, even
brutal nt times. The photography Is ex
ceptionally good, and tho acting super
lative A detailed story of the plot was
published In the Eveninq Ledokk last
Saturday. Tho film Is well worth seeing,
nnd readers are advised to pay a visit
to tho Garrlck, If only to satisfy them
selves that Messrs. Crales Marks nnd
C. C. Wanamaker, tho managers, are
furnishing a splendid show, at moderate
cost.
Another Fox film, for tha Garrlck film
Is one. was shown yesterday nt tho Globo
Theatre "Tho Clemcnceau Case," with
Thed Bara In tho rolo of Iza. The play la
considered by film experts to bo one of tho
most remarkable ever shown, for Miss
Bnrn "lets herself looso" In this new ver
sion of tho siren. In speaking of "vam
pire" roles, Miss Bara recently said!
My rentizntlon of tho Vnmplfo Is ft
symbol of sin. not nn average woman,
but one who obtnlni revengo on the
male sex for the Injuries Inflicted on
ours. And In the same light you can
take Tza's Infidelities as repayment for
tho general total of man's Inhumanity
to woman. There's always a balance
to these things that old Dame Naturo
strikes In tho long run with an un
erring hand.
That I manage to throw myself thor
oughly Into a part Is best Illustrated
by an Incident which occured during a
rehearsal of my death eceno as Iza.
Just as the dagger was touching my
breast for tho fatal stab I uttered a
shriek of such wild Intensity that Mr
Herbert Brcnon, tho director, yelled
In concert, stoppod tho camera and
rushed over to where William Shay
was bending over me. Tho director
was as white an a ghost. He thought
from tho bitterness of tho agony ex
pressed In my cry that the stage dag
ger, designed, of course, to slide Its
blado Into a hollow handle, had ac
tually wounded me, nnd ho was ob
sessed with tho vision of n charge of
murder ngalnst my nssallant.
"Graustnrk" Shown
"Oraustark" at tho Chestnut Street
Optra House:
"Graustark" ls a photoplay In six parts,
dramatized from the book of the same

Bushman), who, through tho wiles of
Cupid meets his goddess when traveling
In tho mountains of the west coast nnd
who turns out to be Yetlve. the Princess
of Graustark (Beverly Bayne) The
sceno shifts to Europe when the hero
goes to ilnd the heroine and after saving
tho Princess from tho designs of tho
villain, a Prlnco oomebody, and Is saved
from an accusation of murder, marries
the Princess and snlls with her for the
shores of hli country.
There Is no dragging moment as the
story Is "unreeled." Tho acting Is very
good. The cast Is well balanced, nnd
each performer decrves mention. Tho
picture Is oil that can be desired, clean,
wholesome, Interesting
