It has Just been learned that for sev

American head of the Itala forces, who
exploited "Cablria." says that the pic

and that the players left on Monday,
July 19, for California, where a perma

AH the new production was not made
on Staten Island. It was Btarted In

Greet Players in
"Twelfth Night"
Elizabethan succeeded Hellenic play
wright on the greensward of the Univer
sity Botanical Gardens, where last eve
ning Ben Qreet's Woodland Players gave
Shakespeare's romantic and roysterlng
comedy, "Twelfth Night," In an environ
ment suited equally to Its Jocund outer
spirit and Ironic underbought as to the
tragic moods of tho Iphlgenia or the
war-born woes of the Trojan women.
Bracketed by Professor Dowden among
"tho Joyous comedies" and akin to "As
You Like It" and "All's Well That Ends
Well," "Twelfth Night" mingles a fore
hint of Shakcspearo's later nnd riper
philosophy with Its fluent poetry. But
above all It Is suffused with his authori
tative humor, on the whole minus the
"gags" with which ho coaxed the loud
laugh from the groundlings in earlier
dramas; this la. a humor that is not of
time, neither of place, but will appeal
universally so long as pretentiousness
and pomposity endure as fair marks for
the shafts of wit. The audience laughed
heartily at tho broad and good humor of
the play, which is perhaps its most ef
fective phase, and some of its members
appreciated the occasional sharper wit
of keen satire. Everybody could and did
laugh 'at Sir Toby and Sir Andrew in the
challenge scene, at the "round" In which
they are comically supported by Maria
and the Clown, and at the other fa
mously funny old scenes.
Alma Kruger expressed some of the ex
quisite femininity of Viola, apparent even
under the maucullne garb of a page. The
Olivia of Helen Merrlam had consider

Sir Toby Belch was a veritable Eliza
bethan swaggerer as rotundly Imper
sonated by George Tlmmons, who bur
lesqued overmuch, perhaps, and his boon
and llke-dlsposltioned companion, Sir,
Andrew Aguecheek, was acted in a spirit
of boisterous low comedy, trenching a bit
unnecessarily on the farcical at times.

Somo day, perhaps, every houso will
boast of n bathtub and ovcry back yard

though, tho possibility of tho wharf rata
becoming extinct.
It was while I was In pursuit of these
denizens of tho city docks that I camo
upon Slooby.
After an unsuccessful search about tho
wharves at tho foot of Catharine, Chris
tian and South streets, I had almost
como to tho conclusion that tho blistering
afternoon sun had driven oven tho rnts
to somo Indoor retreat, .when a squat llt
tlo flguro coming d6wn Heed Btreot made
mo decide to watt and Investigate.
There was suppressed eagerness in every
step that his linro bowlcns took toward
tho river, and tho sharp bank of broken
bricks that ho trod over might have
been a feather bed for all tho notice ho
took of it.
With a flno disregard, too, fbr tho
train signal which bespoke nn oncoming
locomotive, ho dJcked under tho wooden
arms that had bocn let down to prevent
pedestrians from crossing, and sped over
the tracks with nonchntunco.
Determined not to loso film, I followed
fearsomcly, and was Just In tlmo to seo

SLOOBY SHOWS DISAPPROVAL.
"Llttlo boy, wait a mlnuto."
Ono leg on ono side of the aperture
and ono leg on tho other, ho halted, dis
approbation written nil over his freckled
face'.-'
"Whoro do people go swimming down
hero?" I asked when I had caught up
nlt'n him.
"Golls don't," ho said tersely, and
moved as If to disappear entirely.
I dlsclnlmcd any Intention of taking a
river bath, and requested that I bo al
lowed to accompany him as a spectator.
"If Fronklo's on guard yo can," ho con
descended and got out of tha hole on the
other sldo so as to give me a chance. In
sldo tho lumber yard Slooby bade me wait
a mlnuto and went forward to recon
noltcr. He appeared again on the other side of
a freight train and having decided to for
sake tho main road, which led to the
dock, beckoned for me to follow htm
down n narrow path between a lino of
cars and a big merchant ship which was
unloading lime.
We had proceeded nbout half way when
a one-legged boy, sitting on a box watch
ing tho ship's activities, rose and, grab
bing his crutch, began stumping along in
the direction of the end of tho pier.
"Hist!" ho cried, slbllantly, In a whis
per thnt must have penetrated to Cam
den. I was to learn later that there Is
yet another kind of warning which the
wharf rntB employ.
"That's Frankle," Slooby volunteered;
"ho's lettln'- tho boys know youse Is

SUFFRAGISTS ENLIST
IN FIGHT OF CHAMBER
FOR CONVENTION HALL
Leaders of Women Seeking
Ballot Say City's Inter
ests as Well as Those of
"Cause" Would Be
Served.
Many prominent Philadelphia suffra
gists stand ready to Join In tho fight for
a sultabto Convention Halt. Whether
local suffrage organisations wilt pass
resolutions urging Councils to action Is a
question still open to conjecture. Many
suffragists, however, havo declared their
Intention of lending at least their moral
support to the campaign being waged by
tho Chamber of Comhicrco for tho prompt
erection of convention hall on somo site
ndjncent to tha railroad terminals and
hotels. '
That Philadelphia Knceds ft convention
hall all agree. Tho erection of a spacious
and Imposing building which would af
ford suitable housing for many of tho
nation's nntlonat conventions is a mat
ter, they declare, which should Interest
Phlladelphlans both men and women, In
fact, nil who have tho best Interests of
the city at heart.
Many prominent Phlladelphlans and
local business organizations have concen
trated In nn effort to bring tho National
Republican Convention to this city In
1916.
Other big conventions aro on the slate.
Tho early construction of the Conven
tion Hall would furnish an Impressive
advertisement of tho city's progress
iveness when several thousand advertis
ing men will nsscmbto In convention
hero next summer. Suffragists sco still
further. Why not erect a suitablo build
ing to coax to this city the national con
vention of tho General Federation of
Women's Clubs, which has moro than
1,000,000 members?
Local suffragists declare that the erec
tion of a Convontlon Hnll Is not only
necessary to tho welfare and presttgo of
Philadelphia, but that It wilt bo to tha
best Interests of tho "cause."
Tho National Suffrago Convontlon was
held In this city several years ago. Con
siderable difficulty was experienced then,
suffragists say, In finding suitablo quaiti
ters for their largo rally meetings. ManJT
hundreds had to bo turned away from
tho Metropolitan Opera House, whero
somo of the meetings wero held.
OBJECTS TO DELAY.
Suffragists havo followed the Conven
Hon Hall campaign with their usual zeal.
They realize that ns tho matter now
Btands it Is "up to" Councils.
"I can't understand tho delay," said
Miss Mary Wlnsor, president of tho
Pennsylvania Limited Equal Suffrage
League. "Philadelphia certainly needs a
Convention Hall, Philadelphia suffra
gists should bo In favor of It for two
reasons. It Is necessary for tho pres
tige nnd economic Interest of tho city
and I think It will help the cause as
well.
"Philadelphia suffragists should favor
It. I am sure tho majority of them do,
as do all others who havo the welfare
of tho city nt heart."
Miss Wlnsor spoke of several national
conventions, which, sho said, could be
held In Philadelphia if tho city had a
suitable Convention Hall. A Convention
Hall, sho said, Bhould havo many com
mltteo rooms. Lack of these, she ex
plained, has been a serious inconvenience
at somo of tho recent National Suffrage
Conventions.
Mrs. M. C. Morgan, a suffragist, eaid:
"Convention Hall would mean both
prestlgo and money to tho city. I am
for anv movement which will 'boost
Philadelphia, and It will undoubtedly do
that. Suffragists can well afford to de
clare themselves heartily In favor of the
Convention Hall movement which Is now
on foot.
ALL WOMEN" SHOULD AID.
"Furthermore, I think all Philadelphia
women ought to favor It. They certainly
will if they havo tho city's Interest at
heart. As for a plan of campaign, I can't
see that our opinion will have much
weight with Councils so long aa we aro
not armed with the ballot, but then we
can nt least lend our moral support to
the organizations which aro conducting
the fight.
"Dig conventions In this city will un
doubtedly help the cause. Men coma
from nil over tho country. Men from the
suffrage States wilt mingle with Phlla
delphlans" and undoubtedly refute some
of tho foolish aiguments heard against
equal suffrage. It Is true that Phila
delphia certainly has, as yet, no suitable
place to hold big national conventions."
Miss Mary H. Ingham, vice president
of the Equal Franchise Society of Phila
delphia, said that a Convention Hall
would undoubtedly bo a good thing.
"Philadelphia la greatly reverenced
throughout the country for historic. If
not political, reasons," she said. "I
would like to see tho National Progres
sive Convention held here."
