Vaudeville Keith's After all It depends upon your point of view when you attempt to pick out tho best thing In a vaudeville show. Thero was enough to suit many varied tastes last night at Keith's, but if there were a sclentlnc contrlvanco for recording laughs It would havo registered the highest aver. ngo for Paul Qutnn and Joo Mitchell. "Tho Phoney SlufC Gold Mine." which they presented, pans out well with many nuggets of wit, all of which aro of tho 18-karat variety. Tho net Is no way tarnished with old material, and Is pol ished in a way which reflects much credit on the author, Joo Mitchell. Incidentally ho Is a Phlladelphlan, but It Is a safo bet that his prospecting tour In vaudeville with the new mtno will yield a big out put In real dollars. Mr. Qutnn makes a true-to-llfo speculator. Ho didn't wear a plaid vest and gray derby encircled by a black band, thereby defying all tho rules of cut and dried vaudevilllans. Class Is tho word which best describes the offering of Mazlo King and Tyler Brooks, musical comedy favorites, who nppcarcd to advantago In a number of difficult dances. Miss King's work Is enhanced by a dainty manner, and she eeemod to be endowed with an endless supply of energy. Her agile partner also contributed largely to tho success of tho act. To bo near his sweetheart a romantic chapplo enlists In tho nrmy, and after many complications he Is rewarded by winning the heart of the one ho loved. This Is tho story of "A Regular Army Man," offered by Victor Morlcy and a company of 12. Thero Is an abundance of good singing which Is consistent with tho story. Mr. Morlcy Is given good support by Carol Paxson, Lew Miller and other principals. Tho act was well received. Lydla Barry sang a number of exclu sive songs which were Interpreted with clever talk. She also wore several pretty gowns. She made herself a solid favorite, but her act would be enhnnced by tho omission of some of the "business." "A Business Proposal," unfolded by Chauncey Monroe and company, brought no end of laughs. Davis landed the ap plause record with his piano accordeon. Others who pleased were Lovo and Wil bur, trapezo performers: Burns and Lynn, singers and dancers, and Alf Loyal's edu cated dog. Views showing the naval review off tho coast of Massachusetts and results of thn Southern storm were given In tho pictures. Here and There The Globe Theatre returned yesterday to Its Original policy of vaudevlllo under tho management of John McGurk anil Abo Sablosky and started off with an ex cellent bill. Tho Broadway Itevuo was the headllno attraction and set a pace for comedy which brought many laughs. Many unlquo musical numbers were offered and tho costumes nnd scenery were up to tho times. Joseph K. Cohen, a Philadelphia, car ried the comedy honors of the bill. Leo Tong Foo, a clever Chlneso singer, nlso proved himself a good mimic. Others who pleased wcro tho Francona Opera Com pany, Nlblo and Nugent and Maurice Samuel In "A Day at Ellis Island." Tho pictures wero In keeping "With tho show. Baby Helen Is a child artiste who Is actuated solely by a desire to please. There Is a sincerity In her manner which adds greatly to the value of her Bongs and stories. A remarkable voice and a pleas ing personality add to her assets and she Is the hit or tno snow ni me mxon-uranu this week. An Instrumental act offered by Cross man's Entertainers nlsa won hearty ap proval. There Is an element of novelty In this number and It Is marked by qual ity throughout. Others who pleaaed wero Val and Ernie Stanton, Bqwman ond Anderson, Btanloy and La prach and Gibbons and Gibbons. Comedy abounds in mo pictures, wnicn are In keeping with the spirit of the day. The funny part of railroad life Is de picted In a happy way by Tim McMahon's Pullman Porter Maids, which Is tho head line fcaturo this week at the Cross Keys. Unlquo songs and dances Intersperse the funmaklng, which runs along at a mlle-a-mlnute speed. Frank Conly, who Is well known In musical circles and a Phlladel phlan, scored an emphatic hit with an of fering which Is a treat to vaudovllle. Ho rendered a program which ran all tho way from comedy to grand opera and won numerous encores, 'ine imsio ivramer Trio, Lillian Murtha and Weston and Symonds were also cordially received? An up-to-date photoplay and a pictured review of the latest news events com pleted the program. DOWNTOWN AGAIN PROTESTS South Phlladelphians Want Mayor to Protect Passyunk Car Lino Mayor B&nkenburg will bo appealed to In tho fight of the South Philadelphia business men against the removal of tho street car lino on Passyunk avenue. It was decided at a meeting of combined business organizations of South Philadelphia In Reynolds' Hall, Passyunk avenue ond Moore street, last night. Slnco the Phila delphia Rapid Transit Company an nounced that it would discontinue service on Passyunk avenue. South Phlladel phians have been discussing means by which the order may be combatted. Today onlcers of the South Philadel phia associations will telephone to Mayor Ulankenburg at Pocono Summit for an appointment. Should the Mayor's offices not prove tp be effectlvo the South Phila delphia organizations will apply for an Injunction to restrain the Rapid Transit Company from abolishing the line.

"tr1 p' -u'uciuiu w"- EVENING LEDGEK-PHIL'M)EnPH:L:f TTTEBB'AY, AUGTJST 3T, UNIVERSAL FILM CITY FOR LONG ISLAND George W. Lodcrer, Theatrical and Film Producer, Plans Novel Town- By the Photoplay Editor The West has Its Universal City and Its Inccvllle, whole towns built by photo play corporations nnd dedicated to photo play production. Now the East Is to havo a Film City of Its own. A 2,000,000 moving picture city Is planned for College Point, L. I., which. It Is said, will surpass any of tho Western community cities of llko nature. Appli cation was mndo to tho Board of Alder men of New York city last week to havo tho name of a 60-acro tract at Collego Point changed to Film City, L. I. A syn dicate, headed by Georgo W. Lcderor, tho well-known theatrical producer, and J. W. llnpp, a 'prominent realty owner of that section, plans to build the city, Ir respective ot whether tho permission is granted by tho Board of Aldermen for the. chango In name. A part of tho proposition includes the turning over to tho city of Flushing of 10 per cent, of the profits of the plant for ornamental purposes. Tho Hoard of Aldermen will grant a public hearing on the plan somo time this week. The promoter's plans call for tho building of a city that will cost about $2,000,000. Options on adjoining prop erty to tho nucleus of 60 acres will mako a property about two square miles In extent. Every facility for the projection, staging nnd manufacturer of moving pic tures will be Included In tho plant. A Ltudlo of Belgian glass, comprising the largest floor nrca of any studio In tho list, will bo built by Edward Klnslla, nnd other buildings too numerous to mention will bo constructed ns needed. In speaking of tho new project, George W. Lcdercr says: "Tho College Point film city Is de signed to embrace tho very best condi tions and devices for tho manufacture of films. Tho complaint of Investors' and Investing manufacturers Is still largely ono of cost of production. Film City will havo every human and artificial agency necessary for tho quick nnd thorough mnktng of films at tho directors' hands, thus reducing tho overhead to the low est possible peg. "It Is no longer a mooted point that tho most beautiful photography for mo tion pictures Is that obtained by natural light filtered by tho scientific foreign glasses and sun cloths. Our studio will bo equipped nlth artificial lights for dull days and certain effects, but the bulk of our camera work will bo done under sun light. 'Incidentally, wo will conduct a series of annex studios for film producers who wish to avail themselves of our loca tion and accessories. "The ground has one building now standing that will suit the demands of our project while the buildings aro be ing erected for which wo have contracted. This temporary plant will enable us to start producing films at once. "Ground for a revolving stage will be broken at once. Besides our revolving stage, built along entirely now lines, we have tho special close-up crane effect used to produco some of tho most strik ing camera conceits In Cablrla. Wo have also In our plans an artificial lake, coun terfeiting naturo tn Its undersea life, flora and fauna, which will enable us to enp turo the most delicate submarine effects, A host of other Inventions of clear think ers Identified with film production nro other advantages of our factory equip ment. A color process upon which we aro experimenting promises a varltoned film at a logical cost. Wo have seven accepted scenarios for features, several of theso demanding feminine stars." Jack Standing, tho popular leading man of recent Lubln productions, has left the Philadelphia firm and gono West to play opposite Blllle Burke, in her productions with Ince. Tho Globe Theatre, In West Philadel phia, has refurnished itself for the new season. Within nnd without, tho painters nnd carpenters havo been putting things In order, retouching decorations and re newing furniture. The Globo will re-open the end of the week. "Cablrla" continues to hold favor even In the second year of Its life. Tho Im perial Theatre, in West Philadelphia, Is booking tho rcmarkablo film for two days In early September The Famous Players' Film Company have purchased a parcel of 31 lots at the upper extremity of Manhattan Island, where they plan to erect an enormous modern moving picture plant at a cost of about $1,000,000. The plans call for a large studio building and several outdoor stages. There will bo the usual buildings devoted to laboratories, heating and llght Inffr executive offices, and a new depart ure in the shape of a building to be de voted to research work, for the develop ment of tho technical side of tho busi ness. The property Is assessed for J160.000, but It Is eald that the purchase price was $115,000. Tho salo was mado by A. N. Glt terman. Here Is a bit of news which will mako every man wish he resided near Kalem's Glendale, Cnl etudlos. Desiring to make the big barber shop pceno In "The Rlddlo of tho Rings," me iourm ot mo u weekly two-net "Mysteries of the Grand Hotel" absolutely realistic, the producing director hired men to allow themselves to Iia Hlinved! Tho barber-shop scene la but one of the many big settings used In the various episodes of the "Mysteries of the Grand Hotel." Photoplay patrons will find it extremely hard to believe that it is not a leal, sure-enough tonsorlal parlor they aro looking at when "Tho Riddle of tho Rings" Is flashed upon tho screen, and the reason for this Is that the setting wa? modeled after tho barber-shop of one of New York city's biggest hotels. Among the other novel settings used In this story Is ono which shows an electrlo kitchen. This wns erected specially for Kalem and figures importantly in tho story. Then there Is tho hotel lobby, considered the most expenslvo and the most magnificent setting ever used In a photoplay, j Veterinary Examiners Reappointed HARRISBURG, Aug. SI.

Robert Edeson and Star Stock at Walnut American plays ago quickly and stock production Is a pretty severe test. When a play entertains an nudlenco ns thor oughly as "Fine Feathers" succeeded In doing Inst night at the Walnut. It ought to mean somo Inner vitality In drnmatlst and actors. Eugcno Walter's play etlll has that playwright's rugged and American vir tues even though tho years since If was produced on Broadway have made Us theme an old story and somehow turned tho comic relief a Httlo obvious. A good deal of repetition and tho great war hnvo mado us a little too much accustomed to and a good deal too neglectful of corruption In business affairs. Wo aren't qulto ?o worked up as wo used to be over the struggling cmployo who fnlscly certifies inferior cement whero big con tracts mean big swng. We havo grown rather used to the dllllculties no meets In trying to "get away with It" In high finance. Wo hardly etlr at news of tho disaster wrought by that Inferior ce ment, when tho dam of which It Is built must withstand a flood. Wo ore only shaken out of our npathy when tho wretched cause and wretcheder victim commits suicide. It's a pity, perhnps, but repetition nnd events in Europo havo mado such argumentative "Hoclnl drama" a In Broadway a Httlo tamo. All tho same, "Fine Feathers" holds. Its theme is out of the store closet and Its Interlarded humor Is a Httlo too obvious sometimes; but there is something of Eugene Walter's drive and vigor about it that grips tho attention, that recalls finer moments In "Tho Easiest Way," and In that Inverted "Fine Feathers,' "Paid in Full," and that keeps you pret ty well satisfied with tho entertainment. Last night an auuience mat inieu tn Walnut waa moro than satisfied. It liked the play and It liked tne acting. It liked tho excellent people of tho new stock company, William Slider, Louis Haines, Maude Blair, Henrietta- vauers ana par ticularly handsome and effective Miss Constance. Mollneaux. Barring -Ilss Mollneaux there was a tendency to over acting, to "point," to exaggerate. But tho euro for that Is moro work together, and tho company has peoplo who should do well. Tho audience was naturally most pleased-and rightly over tho inception of this star-stock season and tho particu lar actor that Mr. Leahy brought to Philadelphia for his opening week. Rob ert Hdchon's playing of the victim of "Fine Feathers," was an excellent piece of work. The films havo not yet spoiled him. Ho can give his Stntcn Islander the cheerful boyishness of early man hood, and he can shade that easy, nat ural simplicity into tho eating despair of the crook ruined, discovered, tortured and beaten. His final scenes of un nerved deepalr wcro strongest, but all through tho Impersonation thero was an individuality that cxpressca mo cnaruu ter, not tho actor alono. Theatrical Baedeker WALNUT "Fine Feathers," with Hobert Edeson and a supporting alock company.

Belgium, Panama, Arabia, Holland, Norway, Sweden, tho United States, and a few other places for good measure. Of prime Interest to Phlladelphians w ti tho arrival of the Liberty Bell at tho Panama-Pacific Exposition In San Fran cisco. This nnd the other scenccs of tho fair gave a fine idea of tho magnificent buildings and beautiful plazas In the Ht tlo white city. Tho same mny bo said of tho views of tho Panama-Cnllfornln Ex position nt San Diego. Another Interest ing film wns that showing the voyago through the Panama Canal. In all, it was a very entertaining Panama night. Tho usual colored scenic pictures and comics wero nlso shown. The temptation to say Just a word about the war cannot bo resisted. One film showed tho charming beauties of Bruges and other Belgian places, and it was Imposslblo not to realize that all theso splendors had given way before the re lentless pounding of siege guns and the less strenuous demands of war.

Under no circumstances will a "nigger rouster" carry moro than ope parcel nt n time, so you will seo a rickety little deckhand grunting up the gnngplank un der a sewing machine, a pump, or a big sack of flour, while just behind him steps a burly Jack Johnson with a paper pack age or a half-dozen coat-hnngers bal anced on his head. Tho whole proces sion moves In a continuous cako walk, most of the rousters keeping in the samo rhythm, with a crouching, shuffling step, and after ducking from under their loads, go rolling back on to tho leveo with the same crouching shufflo ns those still car rying burdens. They look moro llko go rillas than men, but thero Is nbout their movements tho curious, ugly grace of tho colored race. Georgo Marvin in tho World's Work for September.

It was a name she had earned early In life, and It stuck by her nil tho way up to woman hood. Tom wasn't like other girls. Dolls never interested hor, nnd such things as fancy work sho thought In sipid. Her mother used to worry over tho youthful Tom's escapades through out the countryside. Sho had given sur prises all through her young life, but tho blggost surprise was when sho went off West to teach. It wasn't at all llko Tom except that It did surprlso thoso who knew her. , There was nothing peculiar about her selecting tho West, however. There could not have been another New Hampshire girl better suited to Western environ ment. Yet this was her first trip west ward. Her father had taken her to other parts of tho country, but ho had had an eccentric notion that Tom, wild of nature, shouldn't go to the "untamed West,-' ns he called It, "until her diame ter wns firmly molded." When sho start ed off theic to teach he wns satlsllcd. Apparently he felt tho molding hnd oo cutrcd. "All the Rockies themselves couldn't block her from tho long, straight rood," was the vtoy he put It. So Tom Campbell went out to the West. Her first letters home glowed with talk of massive mountntns nnd canyons nnd vast, wldo deserts, and nil the etlquetto of tho open. Tom wns delighted. Sho wrote such things as this: "The West has taken hold of me, body and soul. It gets me In a sort of trance. When 1 think of returning East to live well, I don't think about It! Fiom now on, people, tho great, throbbing West shall bo my home." As tlmo went on, her letters grew shorter, nnd they wero given over to family small tnlk moro nnd more, until Xo otic fcneto I teas .lfr. Wlnsmorc nil the time you'll have to ndmlt that, Jumav. sho qulto forrgot nnythlng about tho "throbbing West." Then thero followed letters stranger than the first ones let ters that echoed desolatcncss and bitter longing for home nnd all the old New Hampshire associations. Poor Mrs. Campbell could not keep back tho warm tears when she read such passages as these: The West? Why, you can't Imagine, you back In dear old New Hampshire, what that word signifies. You can't conceive nil tho misery it con veys. What Sherman said of war Is truo over and over ngaln of this barren waste that people call tho West. "And the people! Oh, If you could but seo tho real, true Westerner! He Is colder and decidedly less ngrecablo than nny snob wo have In the .East." A letter having comments of that sort falls llko a bomb Into a peaceful household. They wrote her to como home. Sho replied sho would not surrender. Mr. Campbell was for going West, but sho wrote back: "Don't you dare, you dear old dad. I'm all ticht. And I'll bo home soon." Quiet followed. Quiet punctuated by matter-of-fact letters. Afterward came this: "I know you'll bo awfully shocked when you read this, mumsy, but I can't help It. Don't worry. It's really all per fectly flne. What I'm trying to say Is Oh, I wonder If a girl Is always this way when she starts out to tell her mother she's going to be married? Tou see, that Is what I have decided to do. Mr. Dens moro has pressed me for nn nnswer nnd I'm going to give It to him tonight. Send me on your blessing, and don't tell dad yet." Mrs. Campbell did not faint for two reasons. Shu was n. of tho fainting kind. And she knew Tom's surprising ways. Afterward tho girl's letters wero very cheerful. But what Mts. Campbell looked for most and found least of was news concerning Mr. Densmore. Tom had writ ten once that he was 40, nearly bald, short and unprepossessing. Thnt was beyond belief. It hurt tho mother to feel that Tom should grow facetious about it. But it never had been her daughter's way to confide In any one. When she returned from the West In tho early summer Tom vtns ns silent as her letters had been. All thnt was learned about Densmoro they extracted piece by piece. The pecullnr phase, too, was the fact that Tom was loquacious enough . kjg AAA r Prominent Photoplay NORTH PLUEBIRD BROAD AND SUS QUEHANNA AVE. to 11 P. M.

Ono day In midsummer she remAtlt! casually to her mother, 'It's odd. Isn't If, that ono year's teaching should havr been enough for mo?" This wns tho first time Mrs. Camhbelt had known thnt Tom wns not going back to her post. Tho mother had never ask ed. But she was sure Tom had spoken rcpentcdly nbout going back "West "Then you Intend to be married this winter?" Mrs. Campbell ventured tlmor ously. Tom laughed. "Oh. It's a funny affair, my engagement." "Well," remonstrated Mrs. Campbell. "If you're really engaged, Tom, I think we ought to see the man some tlmo be fore the wek of tho wedding Tom mado no reply. But a wpek later she showed her mother a telegmm an nouncing Dcnsmorc'R intention of com ing East the next week. Of course, tho family and frlrnds had dinwn mental pictures of Tom's man from the West. Most of them wcro llko Mrs. Campbell's thnt of a tall, brawny, athletic embodiment of the Westen rpltlt a "cowboy-gentleman," ns fotii distant aunt described It In icnilty they found nothing of the sort when Hob ert Densmoro came to them.

"But do you know, mumsy, I doubt If I ever marry lilml" Mrs. Cnmpbcll waa shocked. "Never mnrry him? Why, Tom, you've told everybody for miles about that you are engaged to him, and nnd " Sho paused, her vocabulary Inadequate for the sltuntlon. Tom thoughtfully left hor to her own reflections. The next day, when the conversation discussed Densmoro's approaching re turn. Tom calmly announced that sho was going back, too. "Just after wo wero engaged, "too," she told her mother, somewhat Irrelevantly It seemed. "Bob thought he was going to fnll in business." "Well, why dldVt you tell us? Any way, whats thnt got to do with your returning? You haven't a position now? And surely, surely Tom, you don't Intend to get married 'way out West?" "Nope." i ' Well, won't It seem strango?
