secured "Ncal of the Navy," th new
Patho serial featuring Lillian Ixirralne
nnd William Courtlelgh, Jr. Tho llrst two
reels contain a rcmarknblo view of a town
destroyed by a volcanic eruption. When
the film, was first staged, an attempt was
made to "fako" tho volcano. The result

sent over to their ParlH office, obtained a
genuine view of an Italian volcano In
eruption, and substituted it so cleverly
In the original film of tho ruined city
that tho illusion Is perfect.
Thla week tho Palaco Is showing Ilol

and a party of Vltagraph players wcro on
their way to Lake. Placid, N. Y where
they were to work In two feature pictures.
when Miss Chllders had tho good fortuno
to be presented to ex-President Taft. As
was natural, tho conversation drifted to
motion pictures, their production, educa
tional and amusement value and the qual
ity of pictures turned out by the various
producing companies. Ex-President Taft,
so Miss Chllders avers, favored the Vlta
graph pictures In every particular anil
was heartily enthusiastic over the blue
ribbon feature, "The Island of llesenera-
tlon." which he had seen four times.
"Word was received yesterday by tho
Chestnut Street Opera House manage
ment from Triangle headquarters that
tno stars and plays supervised by Grlllltli,
Ince & Sennctt would appear tlmul
taneously in Philadelphia, New York nnd
Chicago. The first star combination shown
here will open the Week of September 27,

take place on September 23.
Tb Triangle's plan of presenting scv
eral stars and playJn ouch week's enter
tainment haB attracted wide attention
and Is a distinct novelty in stage affairs.
Aa a matter of fact. It Is a return to
the older tradition of tho theatre when
generous and well diversified entertain
ment prevailed. Four or nvo plays In a
night In a single playhouse were not un
common. As In tho palmy days, the Triangle will
offer comedy, tragedy, farce, historical
drama, etc., all In one bill, with the most
distinguished actors on the American
stage In the principal roles.
Blllie Burke and DeWolf Hopper are
now Jn California working on their plays
for Griffith and Ince. Collier has just
signed a two-year contract. Hitchcock
and Farnum have completed their plays
and will bq presented the opening Tri
angle week. So will Fairbanks, In a new
dramatization of his famous stage char
acter. "The Lamb." Others to appear In
the first star combination are Mack Sen
nctt. Mabel Normand. Harry Booker,
Fred Mace, Enid Markey, Seena Owen
and Louise Glaum. William Furst will
eupervtsu the orchestra. Workmen nro
spending a busy two weeks getting the
bouse ready for the Triangle season.

SIEGMUND LUBIN
President of tho Lubin Company,
in whoso honor San Diego Expo
sition officials liavo set apart
"Lubin Day."
"Sign of the Cross"
at the Walnut
Outside of Shakespeare, history hns
never got Its duo on tho English speak
ing slnne. Mnsefleld showed clenily
enough In "Pompey, the Great," what an
Intelligent treatment of antiquity could
do. Yet neither Shakespeare's Julius
Caesar" nor Mansefleld's "Pompey"
dealt with that remarkable period of
tragic loyalty to faith and terrlblo per
secution when tho Christians were
spreading their propaganda through
Home The Inherent dramatic qualities
of that age, ns typified In tho period of
Nero, are enough to carry to. a very
groat success such few nnd nit alto
gether marvelous plays ns have been
written about It.
"The Sign of the Cross," which was re
vived at the Walnut last night is ono
of theso. By very modern standards It
Is aging. Its often effective language Is
marred occasionally by commonplace
modernisms. ItB tale of love's tribula
tions Is not by any menns unusual. But
thero Is an undeniable pull In fno pic
turesque, period nnd in the bitter tragedy
of theso beginnings of tho Christian
faith. Against tho magnificence of Mar
cus' Supcrhus, tho persecuted Christians
fitnml out with rare effectiveness; t'no np
peal is heightened by tho drawing of tho
proud Marcus himself Into their fates.
Tho production at the Walnut seemed
remarkably satisfactory for a stock pres
entation of so elaborate and dllTicult n
play. The light and color wero warm
with the Itomnn sun. Soldiers and slaves
and dancing girls, well costumed nnd re
hearsed, added atmosphere. Moreover,
the cat,t was good. All the familiar mem
bers of the AValnut Players committed
themselves well, while small parts Hkft
that of Virturlus displayed young actors
of such' excellent volco and lgor as
Daniel Jorret, Jr. Richard Buhler, star
of tho occasion, coming from his long
experience with "Ben-Hur." Dlaved tho
Roman patrician with an easy, handsome J
grace. Ono begins to think he spent too
mnnv Vftnra nn n .tnirln nncf .n..n. l.....v. 1
It made him a very excollent costumo
player. It will be a greater pity if the
movies now absorb him.
"The Chorus Lady"
at the Knickerbocker
"It's a bad season for a bad show
with bum backing," says Patricia
O'Brien, chorus lady. Which ought to
mean that tho Knickerbocker and tho
Knickerbocker Players should keep pros
perously open for a (rood many weeks
If everythlnu they do Is ns good ns the
production of James Forbes' comedy this
week.
"Tho Chorus Lady" has a spirit of
downright hilarity about It that won't be
denied. Somo very poor actors, Indeed,
could "get across" with the slangy, tangy
Amorlcnn "Josh" of the chorus room
scene. It would tako some very stagey
acting to kill "Pat's" violent efforts to
savo her little sister from the primrose
path by tho side of tho jray White Way,
or her "big" scenes with the particular
tempter, Dick Crawford. The whole thing
is tempered with a reckless humor that
makes It all seem a good deal more nat
ural and plausible than it Is. Which
la tho principal dramatic gift of Sir
rorucs, a useiui, prontablo one.
Now take such matter as "The Chorus
Lady" presents, give it the enthusiasm of
Evo Marsh and the eight young ladles
that form the underpinning of the Long
acre Theatre, BUpply It with perfect lttn
bits like the callboy of Walter Woods, let
In some good male support such as Mr.
Brackctt and Mr. La Sallo furnished, add
Henrietta Vnders to dream of the days
when she made "such a cute little sailor
boy," nnd tho question of entertainment
can't be In doubt for a second.
And don't forget, a letter-perfect Mon
day night and some well painted, simple,
unpretentious and therefore effective
scenery.
"Damaged Goods"
at the People's
Half a dozen years ago If a dramatic
crltlo had beon offered a prize for tho
namo of the play least likely ever to see
the American stage or to achieve any
success at all thereon ho could have
named Brleux's bitter drama of the rav
ages of congenital disease, "Damaged
S?,dB-", Yet " n'snt It returned to
Philadelphia for the fourth time In two
years. Its popularity in New York and
on the first-class circuits was undeniable.
Now It la achieving quite as much pros
perity In tho popular-priced houses, and
this is hardly likely to be the last time
that we shall see this powerful and preg
nant sermon at the People's, where Wch
a.rd Bennett's co-workers presented It last
night.
Vaudeville
Keith's
This could be Justly called Old Home
Week at Keith's. On the bill are many
Pbtladelphlans who made all America
laugh, and then came back to town to
urprUe the natives. Foremoit of the
Quaker City talent la Lou Anger and
Sophie Barnard. They are tho chief
foundation, and most of the building for
that matter. In a tabloid called "Safety
First" Lou'a true-to-Ufe rharacterliatlon
frequently brought laugha to life where
they were not conceived, and Miss Bar
nard sustained several numbers by her
remarkably pleasing voice. From what
could be learned of the plot It seemed to
deal with, the troubles of a down-and-out
"movie" producing company. By booming
tho business with fake orders for pic
tures, the manager induces an easy,
irolng Jew and on Englishman to invest
in the company. Of course, they get
"stung." and Anally act In one of the
picture. taken by tho company which is
ataged on, a battlefield. A is the case In
all rewe, the comedy and plot must
always be Interpreted by the sudden ar
rival p( madly kicking chorus girU. Am
most chorus girU would rather dance
than slag, the lyrics are lost ln the
shuffle, for like the editor ot the comic
paper, (he chorus gir lias no regard for
pouts. It's no wonder that this one U

composed of local singers who have
achieved distinction musically
They rendered a number of well
known selections In artistic manner.
Summery costumos of white and the twi
light background gave a cooling effect
to their offering
Mls Emily Stokes Hagar proved, that
she wbb easily tho star of tho aggrega
tion, not only In voice, but by her artistry
generally Appropriate solos were eung
by Miss Hagar, Marie Stone Lnngston,
David drlflln and Henry rjurney. IWgar
Alan Woolf's sketch, "The Last of the
Quakers," brought many laughs, and
Hermlnlo Shone and company, who un
folded tho mory, deservo muoh credit. It
Is to bo regretted that the author took
to many flings nt Philadelphia's so
called provincialism when New York still
maintains a horso car lino and w edges
most of Its Inhabitants In tenemonts.
,.,'ncr acts which won approvnl were
5.i in nnd CoSn: Otto Oygl. violinist;
Claude Golden, card expert; Williams
and Segal; Tho Four Headings, acro
bats, and Ullert and Scoflcld.
Here and There

the "Messenger Boy and tho Actress."
Kecers, Pollock and Hogcra wcro seen In
a dancing specialty. Emmctt nnd Tonga
were heard In up-to-date vocnl numbers.
Walter Brown and Martin Howard also
oflered pleasing acts.
Tho pictures held Interest and wcro up
to tho minute.
Allegheny
Good variety is given by an caual blend
ing of comedy and music nt tho Alle
gheny, and a few novelties thrown In by
way of good measure. "The Earl and tho
Girl," ns tho headline attraction, sets the
pace. Tho tabloid Is presented by a com
pany of 10 clever artists.
James Thompson nnd company present
"Tho Burglars' Union." Klass nnd Ber
nle, two Phlladclphians, were heard In up-to-thc-mlnuto
musical selections; Kenned)
and Kramer gave now Ideas In dancing,
John Lavlcr presented a novel trapeze
act, and Wilson and Aubrey closed tho bill
with burlesque wrestling.

which a race between a locomotlvo and

The Theatre of
the Future
Suppose you could walk into .your favorite theatre
assured of seeing a picked half dozen of the most distin
guished Stars in America at any performance you
chose:
Raymond Hitchcock, Douglas Fairbanks, Frank
Keenan, Mabel Normand, Mack Sennett, Fred Mace, all
in one bill;
Dustin Farnum, Eddie Foy, Lillian Gish, Rozsika
Dolly, Wilfred Lucas in another bill;
Billie Burke, Bruce McRae, Helen Ware, Tully
Marshall, Joe Weber, Lew Fields in a third entertain
ment; De Wolf Hopper, Julia Dean, Bessie Barriscale,
Orrin Johnson, Hale Hamilton, Bert Clarke in a fourth;
Mae Marsh, Kathryn Kaelred, Frank Campeau,
John Emerson, Sarah Truax and Owen Moore in a
fifth
Wouldn't you rub your eyes for astonishment that
iny theatrical management offered so marvelously
much of acting value for just the regular first-class
admission prices?
And suppose that after you entered the theatre
your enjoyment was triply enhanced by the fact that
not only an Augustin Daly of the new regime but also
a Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree of the Dramatic Revolu
tion and likewise a Max Reinhardt of the new art con
trived the scenes and directed the Stars;
That William Furst, the foremost Dramatic Com
poser of the country, prepared the music and wielded
the baton over 40 artists in, the orchestra pit;
That the best playhouse in town, rich in historic
memories and patronized by all ranks of discriminating
theatre-goers, had been skilfully adapted to the new
requirements;
That, finally, the proprietors of the enterprise,
leaders in the artistic world, were its own most exacting
critics and passed on nothing to the public that fell be
low the very highest standard
Would all this seem to you a sober reality or the
very dream-Utopia of Stageland? Would you believe
it? Could you accept it?
The world is chary of innovations. Revolutions
must be explained, advocated, .fought for. AND SO WE
ARE NOW TELLING YOU, AS POWERFULLY
AND SIMPLY AS WE KNOW HOW, THAT THE
PROPHECIES OUTLINED ABOVE WILL BE EX
ACTLY FULFILLED.
