Forrest Tho Trlanjtlo film plays will
lidon be Inviting to-dollar bills Into the
Chestnut fltrtet Oporn House. And now
comes an announcement from the BhU
berts ot a feature film policy with trim
minus for the Metropolitan
Tho Metropolitan Opera Houso will b
opened Saturday evening, September 23.
under tho now mnnnncment of ,ho
Mossrs. Shubert, and an entertainment
entirely now' to l'hlladelphlans will be
offered. It wilt bo modeled on the movie
season at tho New York Hlpprodomo last
sprlnir. Tho first thins that will sreet
the eye of thoso ttho enter tho Metro
politan under thb new rcRime will bo a
hug-o lako covering tho entire area for
merly taken up by the orchestra pit. On
this lako will bo presented some aquatic
wonders which are expected to prove a
complete and pleasing surprise, but which
will bo only n, "sldo Issue" to tho main
show, This will consist of photoplays
of distinction, will) operatic vocallsm and
smphony orchestra music Interspersed.
A large company of grand and comlo
opora artists will be assembled to pro
.elit portions df famous operas, assisted
by an extensive and comely chorus.
Edward 1'. Temple, who Ik icsponslblo
for tho scvol-ttl romarknblo spectacles
staged at tho New York Hippodrome
whllo under tho cow ol of the Messrs.
Shubert, will have cJ-argo of tho staging
of tho productions nt tho Mcttopolltan,
nnd no expenoa will be Bpared to carry
out his Ideas. The prices for scats Will
run from only 50 cents to 15 cents. Under
tho present management tho show will bo
given twlco every evening, with dally
matinees, except on Tuesday, when the
houso will bo turned over to opera as of
Old.
From a rcllablo sourco It Is learned,
says a New York paper, that another gl
gatitlo motion picture combination, with
a capitalisation of Jo.000,000, has been
formed. Marshall V Toggnrt. president
of the Gotham 1'iesrnm, Inc., Is said to
be president of tho new organization, In
which Klaw and Utlnnger and Patrick
Casey, stockholders of tho Blograph
Company, aro interested.
Mr. Taggort would make no definite
Btatemont beyond the fact that the
Uotham has over $1,000,000 worth of films
on hand now ready for release. These,
It Is Inferred, will be used as tho opening
shots In the new company's campaign.
It Is expected a definite announcement
will be made shortly.
With the Exhibitors
Wide awako managers arc doing moro
and moro for their patrons' comfort. In
these hot summer weeks, free Ico water
Is growing popular. A correspondent
calls our attention to several theatres
where this service Is supplied; and then
ungratefully adds: "This may be a
splendid idea of giving service, but many
pcoplo havd been annojed and their at
tention taken from the screen whllo they
hand a cup of water to some on! sitting
In tho centre of tho row,"
Hlscwhcro In tho State, however, tho
Idea Is pushed still farther. According
to ono ot the trade papers, tho problem
ot keeping his theatres crowded on op
prc'slvely hot Septcmbcr'afternoons and
nlghtB has been solved to the satisfaction
ot Peter Majjaro, proprietor of tho Ito-gtnt.-MlO-
Market street, Harrlsburg, and
of a thcatro In Carlisle, Pa.
In addition to maintaining high-class
feature attractions Sir. Magaro has
adopted a plan of serving orangeado In
attractive shell glasses, which arc passed
around among tho spectators by girl
UBhers garbed In cool and spotless white.
Manager Dolany of tho Logan Audi
torium, will present a festal concort next
Monday evening nt which time tho how
yVurlltser Hope-Jones unit orchestral
orgart will bo played for the first time by
Miss Louise Hitter. This orgun Is similar
to that ue'cd at tho great Ocean Grove
Avditorium nnd tho Baptist Tomplo. Fol
lowing aro some- of tho Instruments and
effects produced: Tuba horn, clarinet,
viol celeste, flute, vox liumnno, viol,
octavo celeste, piccolo, combination pis
tons, tremuland, bass, 'cello, bass drum,
Itettlo drum, snare drums. Tho concert
will lis In addition to the regular ntctura
'productions
Manager Fuhrman, of the Wayna
Theatre, who was the first exhibitor in
Oermantown, Is warm In his praises it
"Tho Broken Coin." He says It brlnja
audiences far better than the Lubln
aerial, "The Boad o' Strife," which ho
had used previously, Mr. Fuhrman
studies his audiences carefully and has
como to tho conclusion that It Is danger
ous to book somo of tho adventurous
"rough stuff," full of hairbreadth escapes,
as It tends to bring In a tough element
which does not pay In Itself and which
turns better paying patrons away. He
also thinks cartoon comedies "haven't tho
pull."
Jack Delmar, manager of the Jefferson
Theatre, 29th and Jefferson streets, con
tinues to meet with great success. This
theatre had changed hands many times
befnro being taken over by Mr. Delmar,
and was known about town as a very
poor location. However, after Mr. Del
mar took the reins It was an entirely dif
ferent story and the thcatro has played
to capacity houses for some time past
and there Is every' Indication that this
will be tho case for some time to come.

FROM READER AND
PHOTOPLAY FAN
What They Think About Such
Matters as Serials
The Photoplay Editor asked a few ques
tions the other day about tho serial. Was
it really, popular? Did It draw regular
audiences? And what was tho kind that
"got over"' In connection with this ho
mentioned o rumor, that has since been
vaguely denied, that Inco and- Anlt)v
Stowart hud quit the Vltagraph forc4s
because of a dispute over tho drawing
powers of "Tho Goddess." A correspond
ent illuminates us on tho popularity ot
that serial In his neighborhood theatre.
Ho says:
Seeing an article In your column re
ferring to the "Goddess" and to tho
success of tho same. If applause Is any
Indication of tho popularity of a screen
picture, you need only visit tho Gordon
Theatre, 63d street and Lansdowne aVo
nue. on Monday to convince yourself
as to tho success of tho "Goddess. X
have been there every Monday slnco
the picture was first shown and think
the Interest Increases every weak. Last
week tho applaUso was so demonstra
tive It almost "brought down tho
house."
Tho same correspondent asks: "Why
must we have so much Charlie Chap
lin? He Is disgusting and vulgar In his
actions even the children are becoming
tired of him." Admittedly the theatre
have had an oveiplua of the eccentric
Charles, and JUBt as surely some people
have thought his comedy often perilously
near to tho vulgar. But the Charlie
Chaplin, who Is working for the Essenay,
is showing that ho Is capable of a real
development away from tho coarser sort
of "slapstick stuff." He can bear watch
Ing. To revert to the serial question, an
other correspondent writes:
I have been going regularly, on
Wednesday nlghtB, to the Wayho The
atre, on Wayne avenue, Just to follow
"The Broken Coin." I also watch for
"The Hazards of Helen," ot tho Oer
mantown. Both these eerlahi have
plenty of push to them and they can be
understood easily, even If one hasn't
followed every week's Issue. What 1
ilko better still Is the vigorous, like
life way In which they aro acted. There
is none of that silly "dromatlo" posing
with which tho legitimate stage hasl
ways been afflicted and which has crept
too far Into the movies. The actors In
these two serials go at their work with
u dash that Is pretty nearly the sort of
way they .would react to such desperate
situations In real lite. They aren't
watching the audience. The result Is
to make the audience feel they are
peaking In it at something that really
happened.
Big Feature Companies
Tht remarkable crowth In the featuro
film business this year has tieen admir
ably reflected In the new and artistically
designed "paper" Issued by the principal
companies. A new angle of this enter
prise now comes to light In the trade
marks ot the V. L. S. n. and the Tri
angle Corporation, which are now to be
seen In trade advertisements, and which
will doubtless soon be visible on the
screen.
The V. U B. B.'s trademark, which
&1HZ ihr:l
contempt for everything and sharp
tongue nets her Immediately into all kinds
of trouble. Wow Decky Is killed and only
Dorothy left, through the aid of hypno
tlsm by Carlyle Dlackwell, aa Dr, John
Arnold, Is brought out by an unusual
train ot circumstances. The cast Include
Theodore Jtoberte and Jamea Xt-llL.
ror the eecond half of the week the
Stanley will show what should prove a
remarkably Interesting film. It ! a pie
turUatlori of Ibsen's panoramic drama of
life, "Peer Oynt," with the dlstlnguiehK
English actor, Cyril au.8, playlet the
hero from youth to old age at4 throuih

W a 1 n u t B t r e e t
Theatre noxt week
In "Tho Sign of tho
Cross,' has had a
varied and valuablo
experience slnco
adopting thO atnge
as a profession. Mr.
BUhlor's advent Into
tho dramatic profes
sion was not due to
an unlooked-for
twist In the whtrl
iMe of fate. On
iuciiaiid rnmuw. $, H
come an actor, or at least make an at
tempt, before ho had finished his course
at high school in Washington, V. -.
Ills father was a sculptor of distinction
and his grandfather a phyalclan of "P"
tatlou. As a boy. Ouhler displayed con
slderablo talent In modeling, but when
ho was called upon to choose between
scUlpturo or medicine for a career, no
selected tho latter, nlthough still In
wardly resolving that somo day ho would
bo an actor. As n preliminary move, be
fore being sent to a medical college, he
was placed at work In a drug store on
Pennsylvania avenue and was assigned
to tho Bodi fountain. It was hero that
he was thrown In dally contact with
prominent Senators, Ilepresontatlvca and
diplomats, as well as leading actors who
happened to bo playing In Washington
from time to time.
He studied Bhakespenro nhd all litera
ture pertaining to tho stage and Joined
the Washington Dromatlo Institute and
Baker Dramatic Club. At length ho was
engaged to play a small Juvenile part ahd
"hustle the props" with Cora Tanner's
"Aloho in London" company, one of the
leading traveling organizations cf 16 years
ago. His beat-known par: In tho legiti
mate haB been Ben Hur.
Questions and Answers
A correspondent writes: "Did I not
see In your column that the answers to
questions would bo resumed? tt so, what
has becomo of them? Never miss tho
Evenimo tiEDQBR." The answer is
Simply that In the hot weathor nobody
seems very curious. .Hut-, this week lias
brought out a few more seekers after
knowledge. Here theyre;
"Is William Farnum seen only In Fox
films?" We believe he hai signed an ex
clusive contract with tlosa producers.
"Was the article in your co(um referring
to William Farnum his salary and his
Insuranco of his 'world-famed Farnum
face' truo, or were you trying to bo
sarcastic?" Whether it was true or not
depends on the morals of Fox peoplo's
press representative; he furnished the
facte. As to sarcasm, that depends a lot
on the point of view of the photoplay
fan. Some think Mr. Farnum's face Is
priceless; some don't.
"Somu time ago Mr. Mastbaum, of the
Globe Theatre, offered several prizes to
stimulate Interest In the production ot
that stoning film, "Hypocrites," by Lois
Go in for Trade-Marks
tppears on the left above, Is described by
the press department of the company as
"consisting of a number ot Intricate parts
representing the separate Individualities,
alms and umbltltms of the four com
panies, yet all welded Into a concrete
unit, forming a perfect circle represent
ing the V. It. 8. B. as a whole." Tho now
trade mark wot designed and drawn by
Charles J. oiegerlch, publicity director
of V. L. B. E.
The sign ot the Triangle 1b even more
striking. Every unit of the design drives
home the triangle Idea. Even the "V
Is made to suggest Euclid's pet plaything.
Moreover, the Navajo effect of the wholo
design Immediately reminds one of tha
West, where the Triangle studios are
located..
