CAPTAIN'S DIPLOMACY
CHECKS MOVIE WAR
College Boys Were About to
Take Up Manager's Chal
lenge, But Mediator Tri
umphs. A serious disturbance was averted at
tho Motion Picture Palace, In Ardmore,
last night by the timely diplomacy of
Captain Donnghy, chief of tho Montgom
ery County detectives.
Kor sovcral weeks there lias been 111
feeling between . alter Hasslnger, mali
nger of the theatre, and the students of
Haverford College, who attended tho
shows.
The boys believed In giving vent to
their sentiment. If tho villain choked a
pretty girl or it helpless woman they
Hissed mm. ir tho hero saved a woman
who was tied In a burning house they
cheered. Should a fat man kick n poetic
lover Into a barrel of milk, they laughed
uproariously, and so did tho rest of the
audience.
But It appears that Hasslnger sought
to control the emotions ot the youths.
Frequently, residents say, ho ha3 turned
on the lights, stopped the show nnd read
the riot act to them In a tone of voice
which was combative. As tho placo Is
attended by many of tho fashionable set
along tho Main Line, the actions of the
manager. It Is said, frequently marred
tho evening's entertainment.
Last night the Haverford boys, togged
out In their summer attire, were especial
ly appreciative. They admit that when
they laughed, they laughed loudly, and
they also applauded when nny special
situation struck their fancy. The rest
of the audience was llkewlso enthusiastic.
But the laughter, It Is said, was Inter
rupted by the lights going up and tho
appearance of Hasslnger on the stage.
"I don't cater to no such neonle." ho
said. "You bunch of guys como hero to
make trouble. If any one of you Is man
enough to stand up Just one why ."
A number In the audience Jumped to
their feet Immediately and several women
tied from the theatre with their children.
At this moment Captain Donaghy
Jumped to his feet and held up his hand
for attention. "Gentlemen of Haverford
College," he said. "I am convinced that
you come hero Just to onjoy the pictures,
nnd I feel pretty sure Hint your enthu
siasm is due to your appreciation of the
subjects. I think there Is some misun
derstanding, so let us nil enjoy ourselves
wlthtut any further trouble and every
thing will pass over all right."

Pictures of Antarctic
The picturesque Ice fields of the Ant
arctto Continent, south or Australia and
Tasmania, with the strange animals and
birds UVing In them, were brought to the
Forrest Theatre last night, when motion
pictures and still photographs, taken dur
ing the expedition of Sir Douglas Maw

tional value, have comlo features as well.

were the Charlie Chapllns of the exhibit.
When they dive from a, sloping rock they
are funny. When they try to feed their
clamorous young, or attempt to cover six
eggs, placed under them by mischievous
humanity. Instead of the normal one,
they are funnier. But when they form In
cadet-llko lints to aalute a ponderous sea
Hon going to the bath, they are funniest.
Then there are sea lions, queer, snap
ping beasts; baby seals on little pancaked
of Ice and horrible looking but harmless
sea elephants. The pictures of other bird
life,. In addition to the penguins, show the
remarkable skill of the expedition's pho
tographer. The acenlo beauty of the frozen Antarc

Philadelphia got Its first glimpse of
Harvard playwrltlng last night. Kor i
his third production nt tho Walnut, Mr.
Ingcrsoll mounted "Tho End ot tho
Hrldge." a play by Florence Lincoln, of
Hadcllffe College Harvard's gcntlo an
nex which won John Craig's first an
nual prize offered to the students of Pro
fessor Baker's courses. In Boston tho
plcco ran for 10 weeks, nt two perform
ances a day. If last night It gavo n bit
less promise of success, It was probably
because the slow key of the performance
allowed tho attention to settle on its less
Interesting aspects. Good-sized waits
when there was no scenery to chango
and a slow, grave pace made one it bit
ovcrconsclous of tho fortuitous arrange
ments that make tho story. Such things
are n llttlo out of style Just now.
Subplots are no moro even such charm
ing subplots as this, which links a little
cured crlpplo In friendship with the man
who. It is learned In tho course of tho
play. Is his father. Wo are not used
either to having the parenthood exposed
by the accident of tho man's friend taking
In nnd curing the boy and keeping tho
samo nurse about who tended his mother;
and we expect more skilful subterfuges
than two others which are essential to
the disclosure.
Then. In the story IJself, wo are unused
to audi simple, frank handling of old
fashioned mechanisms. The basis of tho
plot must be accepted a doctor's giving
up his big "call" abroad to save the mind
of his benefactor's daughter through
humoring her Idee fixe, a marriage with
him. But the turns by which the two
come to fear the lack of love In each
other when the cure Is affected have
hardly the Inevitability which we like to
expect. Finding an old document about
the European offer nnd overhearing con
versations don't make for plausibility.
The final reconciliation seems more
natural.
Under a little more rapid playing, these
faults of construction would doubtless
have been less obvious. We should have
dwelt more on the firm and lifelike char
acterization, the pleasant humor, and
above all the fine spirit of the play. We
should have rejoiced moro In Peter, the
bo'y, felt deeper the humanity of tho
father, smiled oftener over the sober ab
straction of the doctor and grasped more
firmly the tragic position of the girl.
When Mr. Ingersoll's company has
speeded up the pace a bit their very
excellent Impersonations especially Mr.
Ingersoll's of the doctor will give the
play that engrossing Interest which in
sured 10 weeks of prosperity In Boston.
The accident of last night's performance
simply cnlls for an admission of the
play's faults, where Its virtues might
have won It heartier praise. But that Is
a misfortune of acting and reviewing.
Woodside Park Theatre
From the Bulgaria of "The Chocolate
Soldier" the company at Woodside Park
turned last night to Russia for the locale
-or part of lt-"The Red Widow." It Is
the merry musical comedy by Rennold
Wolf and Channlng Pollock, In which'
Raymond Hitchcock starred two or three
seasons ago. As for the corsetmaker of
Cohoes, whom Mr, Hitchcock Imperson
ated, Nihilists still pursue him and he still
escapes successfully, from amatory as well
as legal difficulties.
Clara Palmer, last season seen here In
"Oh, I Say!" plays Flora Zabelle'a old

ot the love of a Northern man for a

tells him he must wait until 6 o'clock,
which Is Just IS minutes off. But, on
the stroke of 6, Lieutenant Gary, a South
ern hero whom she promised to wait for.
arrives, ne nas an empty coat sleeve,
and this prompts an Inquiry from the
lover of the North, The girl explains
that the Southern officer lost his arm

white he was a prisoner of the enemy,
Previously he had helped her father, a
Bouthorn soldier, to escape. She disguised
herself as a soldier for the same pur
pose, but waa discovered and detained
by Colonel Maiden, a Northern officer.
Lieutenant Gary announces that he would
give his right arm to get the girl safely
across the lines. To test Jila courage,
Maiden takes Mm at his word and orders
a soldier to wound the Confederate's arm
as agreed. But privately he tells the
soldier to use blanks. Through some mis

"of MERCY HOSPITAL
'MARRYING MORMON"
SHOCKS ELKTON
Continued from 1'ncc One
hud brought four couples to the pnrson
nge. Ilo did not gel the money. Ho wont
homo nnd wrote n letter to tho domlnlc.
'Please send mo tho money for four
couples," tho note run. "Tho rest of the
ptcachers pays us M cents n couple for
them, und If you will send mo the money .
1 will hrlmr vou morn, counlos." '
Tho newcomer had u conference with
the ltov. John McElmoylo, the Presbyter
Ian minister, nnd tho He v. Sumuel M.
i Perry, u letlrcd Presbyterian. The threo
i men weio marrying ubout CO couples n
; week. They agreed not to give tips, Mr.
I Jones says.
, That gavo cab driving ji setback, al-
I though the men got good fees direct from
the couples In some cases JI for a rldo
tu tho courthouse for a license, to the
minister's for the cciemony and then ;
buck to tho railroad station. !
Now, ono J. W. McAlllBtcr owns a
thriving cnb nnd automobile line nnd also
tho Fclton House. And Henry Cnrr, a
pastor of the Reorganized Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter Day Saints, had moved
Into Elkton. It Appears that every ono
In town thinks he Is u Mormon. Mr. Carr
denies It. Mr. McAllister went to him nnd
asked him to move Into the Elkton House,
take possession of a bedroom and a prl
nto parlor mid set up In the marrying
business, so Mr. Cnrr says. Mr. Carr I
moved about two weeks ago.
Immediately he almost cornered the
wedding market. The first week he did
most of the marrying, as tho records
show. A McAllister cab would meet you
at the station, a McAllister guide would
tell you Just how to get n license, "with
out the lady's having to get out" of the
cnb or machine; a prencher In the Mc
Allister hotel would marry you, you
could stny for luncheon In the same
hotel and wander about Its corridors,
buying candy and cigars galore, until
the 2:27 train came to whisk you back to
Philadelphia.
The Fclton House Is a few feet from
tho station, but It's Impossible to walk
there, according to the cab drivers, who
make It seem like a long trip by taking
their victims by a circuitous routo
through the town, nnd this deception Is
not usually discovered by persons who
nrc about to be married.
NOT A MORMON', SAYS CARR.
Mr. Carr explains that he Isn't really a
(Mormon at nil that tho Brlgham Young
sect Is an outgrowth of a rebel brand
that broke away many years ngo from
tho church he represents. Elktonltes, who
admitted that ho might not be a Mormon,
declared he was "Just as bad as ono"
becauso ho had been a follower of Josdph
Smith
The town Is united In disapproving of
him. excepting Major rurnell, who makes
out the marriage licenses and says that
when It comes to religious sects. China
men nnd bay horses, they all look alike
to him.
Mr. Carr came to Elkton to found a
parish of the Keorganlzed Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. All
the church people say lie shall not do It.
Mr. Carr gives fees to tho cabmen.
"Why shouldn't 1?" ho said.
For thnt- matter, Mr, McEImoyle does,
too, although he stopped tho practice for
a timo after Mr. Jones arrived In Elkton.
Mr. McEImoyle has two reasons.
"The actions of a .certain minister who
used to live here fdrced me Into it," he
said. "Besides, I don't give the money
to the drivers as fees. They're all poor
boys nnd I think It Is a nice thing to bo
able to help them along by giving them
a little something when they drive up to
me aoor."
STATE'S ATTOB.NEV CALLED IN.
Enemies of Mr. Cnrr declare that the
McAUIster-Carr combination has an or
ganization of "trailers" who follow the
folk who want to be married and In some
mysterious way Induce them to como
down to the Felton House. Also, Henry
Constable, the State's Attorney, has been
called upon to find out If Mr. Carr's mar
riages are not Illegal under the Maryland
law.
Mr. Carr says he Is legally entitled to
perform ceremonies, and that view la
shared by the County Clerk, but the fact
that a decision was demanded of the
State's Attorney by a clergyman shows
how high feeling Is running In the little
town.
Last, but not least. If you are going to
be married by Mr. Carr you aro lucky If
a man and unlucky If a woman, you
have to keep In the "obey" clause. The
pastor Informs the bride that she should
be the "subject" of her husband, that she
should 'reverence him," and that she
should "put on the ornament of a meek
and quiet spirit," which Is "a Jewel of
great price." ,

It Is Interesting to note that the drama
which Herbert Brenon has been Visualiz
ing for William Fox In Quebec nnd In
the Wllllnm Fox studios under tho name
of "The Hunchback" turns out to bo
D'Ennery's "The Two Orphans."
It Is radically different In nlmost every
respect from previous versions of tho
famous old piny which has been seen upon
tho screen, An Immense amount of
money hns been spent In securing effects.
Mnny of tho heaviest scenes had to bo
built up nt n great cost. In Quebec also
hundreds of supers wero employed in the
big spectacular scenes.
Theda Barn, of Vampire fame, who will,
be recalled In "A Fool Thero Was" nnd
"Tho Clemcnccati Case," portrays n char
acter entirely new to her In Hcnrlette,
the elder of tho two ulsters, nnd Jean
Sothern, the pretty little Ingenue dis
covered by Mr. Brenon, gives n most np-
poallng rendition or the part or Louise,
the blind girl. Old Mother Frochard Is
played by Ocrtrudo Berkley In a most
amazing mnko-tip and William E. Shay
Is the Mnrquls.

Drawings of both nnclcnt townsltcs al
ready have been made nnd expert builders

favorably to the character of the coun

massive fcaturo will actually begin.
Educators at IJclzwood
Headed by Dr. William C. Jacobs. Su
perintendent of the Public Schools of
Philadelphia, 35 piomlncut educationalists
were the guests of Slegmund Lubin nt tho
latter's ranch at Betzwood this week, and
had a most interesting and thrilling cx
pctlence. The Philadelphia educational
authorities have been taking ix deep Inter
net In moving pictures recently. A few
weeks ngo they spent a day nt the Lubln
studio in Philadelphia nnd saw all tho
lunur workings of the big plant there. So
Intori'Stcd wero they that they decided to
spend .1 day at the Lubln rench.
A doen motor enrs took the educators
to BcUwood, and Just as they reached the
ranch entiance the fun Lvgan. A dozen
cowpunt'hers anoo'ped down upon tlum
and "held up" everyone. Tho cars were
allowed to proceed, and a quarter of a
mllo farther on CO moro cowboys, firing
Colt 43s, came racing 'cross country and
"shot up" the entire outfit. From then
on there was a constant bombardment.
From behind every tree, telegraph pole
and stone wall, a "moonshiner," "desper
ado." "outlaw," or "hlghwnynian" sud
denly appeared nnd began firing with
pump-guns point-blank Into the cars.
After this the visitors were escorted to
the Western town dn the ranch, uhcro
the cowpunchcrs gnvc a rough-rldtng
sho fur them. This part of the program
had been arranged by Joseph Smiley and
Edgar Jones, Lubin dlrcclirs.
Tho educators had an opportunity to
"work" In a Western picture, and, follow
ing luncheon, made a loair ot the ranch.
Inspected the studios, laboratories, fac
tories, and, aa a finale, saw a number of
pictures thnt had been filmed on the
ranch,
