Attempt to Rob Mail Carrier
With "Exams' Reports; Then
to Strip Each Other.
A four-party Hot thai started with
two-party fight In the Corridors of th
poatotnce brought grief to a doten stu-
dent of the "Medico Chi" today. They
tore each other clothing Into ribbons
Irt the midst of bubbling enthusiasm. As
a result II Adonls-Hke youths were con
verted into (i buncn of Individuals re
sembling yeggmen on their -way to ruina
tion. Curlosltv caused It all.
The word was passed nrnotin the youths
that 'Plmrny." tho college mall carrier,
would start for the postofllce with a crop
of letters notifying the students of the re
sult of last week's examination There
was a. quick conference nnd It was de
cided to tackle "Jimmy" when he reached
the. postomes with tho precious Informa
tion as to who had passed nnd who had
The fact that they would net the let
ters late today mattered very little. I
But the mall carrier saw the boys lined j
up along the corridor. He made a flank '
movement by way of tho opposite door !
of tho big corridor, nnd by a nulck ,
dash reached the outgoing mall box Just
as two of the enemy reached his coat I
tolls. '
Ml the letters were dropped In safety
But the students becamo so enraged that
they stripped Jimmy on the spot, nnd ho
Was almost ready for a dip In n bathtub.
Then excess enthusiasm got the better of
the bos nnd they stnrtcd Into strip each
other. Early visitors to the Postollicc lied
from tho corridors In nlnrm, while war
whoops mingled with ripping of coats nnd
swishing of shirts.
Word of the fight reached the oars of
Policeman Archdoacon, who Is livelier
than his name Indicates, and his partner.
Policeman Myers. They beheld a mass of
wiggling arms, legs and heads rolling
about the floor as they took a quick took
In advance. But they went right Into tho
teeth of tho battle with clubs ready for
action.
After a running battle they subdued the
dozen fighters and, lining them up two by
two, marched them out of the corridor,
which was sprinkled with shirts, collars,
trousers and hats.
As the gang proceeded out Market street
they caused no end of curiosity, nnd many
believed that tho procession was one of
safe blowers who had been caught red
handed.

Plays and Players in
"Love's Labour's Lost"
Great numbers of Philadelphia's lovers
of Shakespeare seized opportunity last
night to sen and to hear a delightful re
vival of "Love's Labour's Lost," pre
sented at the Broad Street Theatre by tho
Plays nnd Players, upon tho Invitation
of tho Browning Society.
The play has not heen seen here In
many years. Belonging to tho earlier
comedies of dialogue, It lacks the degree
of action thought necessary to Interest
American audiences. What Is lacking In
action, however. Is atoned for In the
swift passages ot wit and repartee, all
a powerful nrralgnmenj of the absurdities
and excesses In speech'and conduct which
were common to tho Elizabethan era.
Some of tho keenest of Shakespeare's
barbs are fairly pointless today because
of the changes In manners which have
come with passing centuries. Skilful
pruning hud eliminated practically all of
this, and tho play was found to have
enough of action added to a wealth of
that type of characterization of human
foibles which was written, not for a day,
but for the delight and edification or
'the ages," so that the Browning Society
and the Plays and Players Jointly have
to their credit a revival that proved a.
treat In every respect.
Tho cast was admirable. The burden
fell upon the men and In practically every
Instance their labors had a professional
excellence. Henry C. Sheppard, as tho
King of Navarre, added scholarly elocu
tion and Interpretation to a kindly pres
ence. C. Reginald Odtes was the Berowne
and met every exaction of a long and
difficult part. J. Bennett Colesberry pre
sented a Costard that realized pretty
much all of the possibilities of this, one
of the merriest of the Shakespearean
family of Jesters.
Mrs. Louise Loughran brought well
trained capabilities to the exacting role
of the Princess, and easily took first
honors for her handling of metrical dif
ficulties In the text, a faultless elocution
marking her delivery with consequent
complete avoldence of that sing-song In
delivery of rhyme which mars so
many Shakespearean performances. The
princess was splendidly aided In the
pleasantries of the action by attendant
ladles of very beautiful appearance and
skill In handling the Involved situations
in which they figured. In all, the play
was Interesting as offering opportunity
to ee this first of Shakespeare'a crea
tions; as reviving memories of a work
that very rarely Is presented, and as
demonstrating the high quality of his
trionic skill fostered by local organiza
tions. CIVIL SERVICE HEARING
Commission Will Consider Plea
to
Exempt Byberry Appointees.
The Philadelphia Civil Service Commis
sion will conduct a, hearing today In
Room 876, City Hall, on the proposition
to. exempt from examination appointees

The Department of Health and Chari
ties has asked for tho exemption. Per
sons who may be opposed to such action
will have an opportunity to voice their
opinions at the hearing, which will be
begun at 2 o'clock. Nurses at Holmes
burg; are paid J60O a year, while attend
nuts receive ?360.

A casual render of the program who
took tho "property" list too seriously
might have thought himself about to
witness a product of tho recent religious
revival. But right below the line "Egyp
tian deities used exclusively In this play"
was the real kev to the piece, "Uphol
stery and curtains by William Burns."'
Yes, "Tho Three of Hearts" Is a crook
piny. Like Its sister "try-out," "Find
tho Woman" and all the rest pf the Inst
three seasons' plays It Is trying to make
two virtues grow where only one vice
grew before.
And like a lot more, It Is pretty subtlo
about It. No more ringing "curtnlns."
A climax, then some little nondescript
matter of unfinished business, like: "But
I've got a real Job for you tonight, Hag
gerty." Tho effect Is Just as If the play
wright said, "Of course, I could hand
you three or four more punches, but I
really prefer Art. Like Bernard Shaw."
No more tense drama, either Plent
of laughs at Its own expense. The Jap
anese valet with the complicated cogno
men agrees to take the place In prison of
tho gentlemanly young criminal, who
wants to reform. Some foolishly senti
mental person says, "But he'll Ioso his
good name." And the detective comes
back with, "Did you ever hear him try
to say It?"
Another Ingredient of tho new crook
.play Is topical reform. Tho present case
Is the rejuvenation of tho convict, a la
Kord. We hear a lot about Warden Os
borne, of Sing Sing, the "Good old
Tom" of the hero. "Tom Osborne and I
are old pals." Wo not only see Henry
Clay Hamilton (said hero) take In a con
vict, fresh from "up tho river," as sec
retary; but we watch "English Jimmy"
stealing stolen goods from a young society
thief and backing up his master, with
all the resources of a second-story man. In
an attempt to foil the' robber but return
him to his mother unspotted by tho law.
We not only see the convict ns nn
efficiently righteous citizen. We not only
see the society criminal started on the
road to reform, via that old homeopathic
cure, a Texas ranch. Wo have a good
laugh at all this moralizing as well as
at the melodrama: that Is nnother fea
ture of the new crook play. This time the
hero "kids" tho heroine about her pro
pensities for reforming criminals; he
simply pretends ho Is the thief himself
and gets her so far ready to marry him
to reform him that nn engagement Is the
simplest thing In tho world, when some
body tells her he Is really a Henry Clay
Hamilton with $10,000,000. A real girl
probably couldn't stand for all this spoof
ing and still love tho man. But as she
always stood for Just as bald romance
on the stage, we have to give her the
benefit of tho doubt.
The play has the benefit of the doubt,
too. Just now there are the raw edges
of a spring try-out. Mr. Rogers wears a
perfectly good Southern accent and the
worst gray hair In years. Mr. Wood's
lines at the third-act climax were under
no better control last night than his eye
brows, and the climax Itself needs build
ing up. But the play has excitement and
humor, little touches of novelty, somo
good nctlng and some room for more. The
women are uniformly excellent, while
William Devereux plays "English Jlm
mle" with a rare and admirable feeling."
As for Mr. Nash, he Is both n blessing
and a detriment to the play. He carries
off the greater part of the melodrama

Keith's
The ntrlfe throughout the world has evi
dently not caused a shortage of Rood
vnudevllto acts, for they are spread all
over the bill at Keith's this week. Should
your tastes run alontr lines musical there
Is Orvllle Harrold, the hero of Bevcrat
operas and musical comedies. Ho awak
ened memories of Caruso last night with
the lament from "Pagtlaccl," and then
drifted to somo present-day numbers.
Furthermore, Mr. Hrtrrold was very will
ing and answared repeated encores, which
were real and voluminous. Unlike the cut-and-drled
concert singer who stands con
sctvntlvely and bows with his eyebrows,
the smiling tenor sang- his songs with ex
pression and showed that he waa gratified
by a cordial reception.
t"or riotous laugh thero was Billy 1!
Van and Hose nnd Keltic Hcaumont In
lively concoction of mind reading nnd sur
prises called "Spooks." It dealt with the
troubles of a little "Patsy Bolivar," who
bent the fortune tellers at their own game
and sot plenty of money and drinks on
tho side. Words can hardly describe this
act, except to say that It Is one long
laugh.
Wyntt' Scotch lads nnd lassies proved
to bo a show within a show. There nro
eleven of them, nnd they danced and sang,
played tho ban; pipes, the drums nnd did
a number of other things which fitted in
well with the combination. The aggrega
tion ns warmly appreciated.
By nnv of other good things there was
the Bchwari Brothers In "The Broken
Mirror," and Bonlta and Lew Hearn, the
former Just as beautiful as ever and the
ln.ter Just an funny; Norton and Lee In
inpld-flre dances nnd songs; Warren and
l'letrlch, tho Okura Jnps nnd the three
Anchor gymnasts.
The pictures show President Wilson re
viewing the battleship fleet In N'nw York
Bay nnd gIVo other views which are In
kepplng with events of the day.
Nixon Grand
Al White's "Kidland," 0 Juvenile offer
ing with nine llttlo Phllndelphlans, de
lighted nn appreciative audience nt the
N'lxon Grand. The youngsters have ex
ceptionally good voices nnd a snappy
style, which greatly enhanced the up-to-dntc
numbers throughout the net. Many
of the songs have the clement of novelty.
This act should have a long life In vaude
ville. McDevItt, Kelly and Lucy. In their fa
mout sketch, "The Piano Movers," cap
tured the audience at the outset of the
proceedings nnd held It throughout. Billy
Bouncer's Circus won a coidlnl reception,
nnd other acts Included Jed and Ethel
Dooley, the Three Vagrants, exceptional
musicians and singers, nnd W. J. Cole
mnn. The pictures are up to the minute and
keep apace of the well-balanced show.
