Vaudeville
Keith's
Encouragement la needed by vaudetllle
artists ns well as others, yet n very large
humber of persons who enjoy an net
keo their appreciation confidential.
Laughter or applause Is n good tonic
for all 'concerned, nnd especially for the
vaudeville act. A get-together spirit be
tween artists and audience was much In
evidence at Keith's last night.
It was very emphatic, for Instance,
when Elizabeth Brlco nnd Charles King
dropped In for n few songs and dances.
This polished musical comedy couple,
who have Just stepped out of "Watch
Tour Step," havo nn artistic style that
seems to belong to everything they do.
In nddltlon to this they are decidedly
Industrious whllo on tho stago and the
audience was generous In Its applause.
,n"t they didn't receive any mora than
Miio, whoso name was squeezed ever so
small on tho program He didn't have a
Pianist or special scenery or electrical
efrccts, whllo his costumo would hardly
bring 30 cents In Jute Bernard's pawn
shop. But Mllo had a very valuable asset
In tho way of ability. Ho sang and Imi
tated so well that thero was no question
ns to the accuracy. Tho nudlcnce thought
so, too, ror it kept him bowing somo tlmo
nfler It was nil over.
Thpti thcro was Walter C. Kelly, the
Virginia Judge, who told his slorlcn with
out leaving tho stage. An overflow of
laughter greeted hla tales old and new
Ho Is up to the minute and has some war
talk preceding the Virginia proceedings,
which Is both neutral nnd refreshing.
Princess nadjah, nmld a gorgeous en
vironment, presents a Cleopatra dnncc
which was artistic and tlramntlc. Nu
merous pretty attendants and a live snake
added a touch of realism This was fol
lowed by nn Arabian chair dnncc, In
which tho Princess danced wllh n chair
In her mouth and performed somo won
derful ncrobatlo evolutions She was
warmty appreciated.
Harry Tlghc and Bnbetto did a llttlo of
everything.
Jule Bcrnnrd, a Philadelphia native,
and hie partner, Florcnco Scarth, brought
many laughs In the skit, "Loan Sum
Street." Bernard's quiet way of lying
fitted In well with his partner's gullibil
ity Tho act Is punctuated with wit and
tho pair got everything out of It possible
by their odd methods.
The lost boy, Edward Blondell, soon
found the laughs, with his partner, Ger
trude Perry, In a lot of merry nonsense
Booth nnd Lcander provided an excep
tional opening net, while Galcttl's ba
boons kept pace of tho good thlnge which
preceded. The pictures nre full of news
and surprises.
Here and There
Something new In vaudeville Is shown
this week nt tlio Cross Keys, where Vic
tor Burns and company present "The
Third Reel," a novel comedy which bur
lesque tho movlo crazo nlong original
lines. Burns, who Is a Philadclphlan, es
says the role of a Hebrew glazier who
Is pressed Into service to play tho part
of an adventurer In n three-reel thriller.
It Is later discovered that other members
of the cast are missing, and the glazier
Is compelled to assume a number of
Shnkcpearenn roles to complete the pic
ture. There nro seven members In the
cast, nnd the novelty Is staged amid ro
mantic surroundings. Manager James
Springer is to bo congratulated on land
ing this vaudeville scoop for the first
Philadelphia presentation
Of considerable merit also Is tho sketch,
"Her Million-dollar Husband," presented
by Mlnnlo Palmer nnd company. Other
good acts were shown by tho Three
Crelghton Sisters, dancing Philadelphia
girls; Waldo Waldo, the Paul Brothers,
athletes, and Princess Luba Mlrort, who
presents a musical act nlong new lines.
Tho pictures arc full of fun nnd human
Interest.
A novel acrobatic net, billed as Boeder's
Invention, headlines the bill at tho Nixon
Grand It Is full of many surprises, and
a number of mechanical novelties greatly
enhance Its value. Kramer and Morton,
nnnounced ns the "Two Black Dots,"
proved that they were good comedians
nnd ennppy dancers. Other nets which
pleased were tho Melody Monarchs, Wil
fred DuBols, McCormack and Wallaco
and De Leon nnd Davles.
Tho show ran with considerable smooth
ness. Thero was no end of surprises in
the pictures, which were up to the min
ute and greatly appreciated.
Philadelphia Stage Society
A new nmateur organization, to be
known as tho Stage Society of Philadel
phia. Is In the process of formation Its
membership will Include many prominent
artists, amateur actors and Interested
playgoers. The Little Theatre will be tho
headquarters of the society.
Tho movement began with the two
rjerformances given recently at the Llttlo
Theatre by the Washington Squnre Play
ers of New Tork, tho sensation of the
present theatrical season there. The com
mittee of Phlladelphlans who arranged
for the visit of the Washington Square
Players to this city formed the plan for
a similar organization here. An Invitation
to local drama lovers to Join tho move
ment was printed on tho program, and
responses were so numerous that the
Stage Society Is already an accomplished
fact.
The first general meeting, which will be
open to the public, will be held at the
Little Theatre on Wednesday, June 23,
at 4 o'clock. Prof. Cornelius Weygandt
and other speakers will explain the ob
jects of the society, It is expected that
an associate membership limited to 300
will be fully enrolled at that time.

ROMANCE OF TOIL;
HOW A DISH-WASHER
AF
"On the Job" When He
Made $3 a Week, Frank
Hardart Kept at It Till
His Firm Owned a String
of Lunch Rooms.

beaten path to hla door."
Washing dishes nil day long Is a some
what tiresome Job. Tho clatter of plates
and the Jangle of knlve, forks and pans
Is not the kind of muslo to cause Inspira
tion, When a fellow hns to mon the
floor und clean up generally between the
rush of dishes It Is nt least apt to stifle
hope of better things.
Right among us here In Philadelphia Is
a man who had to put up with this hum
drum existence for somo time down In
Niw Orleans, and ho won only 13 when
he took the Job. And thero were no dcfl
nlto hours about It. Ho went to work
when the place opened and quit when It
closed. All day long ho nnshed nnd
scrubbed and scoured. Ho got J3 a week
and his name Is Frank Hardart.
But he washed the dishes welli thero
were no "lick and a promise" methods
about his 'work. Ha applied that samo
system to the tasks ho took up later, nnd
now some one else washes tho dishes.
woiiKcn and oBsnnvnit
Young Hardart was not only n good
worker; ho was nlso a closo Btudent of
human nature When the boss yelled nt
him to drop tho dishes nnd help out nt
tho tables, ho was "on the Job" In a flash.
Then ho learned that moqt men wcro
Irritable nt mealtime and liked good
coffee.
McCloskcy, a rival in tho restaurant
line, soon had Hardart over at his place
on St. Charles Btreet and there the boy
had to roast and grind coffco nnd servo
It to the customers. Ho wns pollto and
diplomatic. He agreed with everybody
and everybody ngrccd with him Inci
dentally tho boss, who raised his wages
until ho got (10 a week.
The coffeo made by tho youngster soon
got a reputation in the community. He
knew how to blend It, how much cream
to put In and tho proper temporaturo It
could be kept at without losing Hb flavor.
In 1876 Hardart camo to Philadelphia.
tie was thinking seriously about starting
a lunch place with good coffee as a
headline attraction, but as everybody
was Interested In the Centennial celebra
tion nnd nlso skeptical about making In
vestments oven on a small scale, tho
youthful promoter of good coffco could
get no capital. He was obliged to tako
a Job outside of his lino nnd worked
for Charles Llpplncott, n manufacturer
of soda water apparatus, for thrco years.
Finally he got n Job at Joe Smith's lunch
plnco on 3d street above Chestnut. It
was one of the first "get It quick" lunch
places In tho city.
FIRST CArE IN PHILADELPHIA
One dny he saw a small advertisement
In tho paper. It said that a mnnugcr was
wanted by a man who Intended to start
a small lunch enfo. Hardart answered
tho ad. Tho man was Joseph Y. Horn.
Together I'ney went over tho city for a
good place to start nnd nftcr many weeks
decided on December 22, 18SS, to open nt

Just 11 by 13 feet. Hardart started with
his New Orleans lirninl oi .. .. . t, ,
order to mako it known htiil tnnln rii.
trlbuted announcing thnt n good cup of
coffco could bo obtained for S cents.
Things looked so favorable that some
months Inter a second place was started
nt 101 South Sth street. In a shoit tlmo
the firm's brnnches began to dot tin
business section of tho city, and they
now liavo 20 establishments In this city
nnd seven In New York, which are di
rected bv Mr Hardart's sons.
About ten years aeo Mr. Hardart real
ized that more speedy service would bo
n great asset, nnd tho firm opened tho
first nulomat, on Chestnut street above
Eighth. This did a big business almost
from the outset nnd tho fact all possi
bility of tips was eliminated appealed to
tho patrons of meagre puree. Thero nrn
now eight automats In the city.
Some time ago the firm expanded and
allowed a largo number of Ita employes
to becomo stockholders. Of the 1100 em
ployes, a very large percentage havo
been with the firm almost from tho be
ginning. Tho spirit of initiative Is on
(.ouraged by tho fact that promotions nre
mado from the ranks. livery nowcomcr
has to take IiIb placo In line.
In addition to looking after tho business
with his partner, who Is nlso an Indc
fatlgablo workor, Mr. Hardart Berved
seven jonrs In Common Council.
Whllo ho Is rounding out his C3th yenr
ho is on tho Job as much ns ever. Ho
is liable to "pop" In nt any of the lunch
places at any tlmo and bco that tho
coffco Is up to tho mlnuto and tho wait
