tt sound Ilka the falrl-Judy Abbott.
Can Jou remember the day when plays
had real villains? That was way back
before the "new villainy" came Into
raahfon. That was before they discovered
the Institution Instead of the Individual
as the really wicked thins In all this
human mess. Perhaps one of these days
they'll grow so enlightened that they'll
have to put child labor, "the system." the
police, the trust, competition and the or
phan asylum back on the shelf with tho
personal-devil villain. But all that's be
side the point There was a real, sure
enough vlllalneas down at the Broad last
night, when Jean Webster's sweet and
sugary success, "Daddy Long Legs,"
showed Itself.
But Jean Webster knew better than to
depend on a VUlalness alone. She threw
In a wicked Institution, too. The vlllalness
kept the institution and the Institution
kopt orphans. It kept Judy Abbott longer
than usual and let her go to high school
Just so as to make her work. The vll
lalness never kept anything else either
tho peace or her temper. She nagged.
She whined. She cowed things. But
when the trustees visited sho talked
about how her pets kept her young and
hopeful. Go, of course, Judy had to ex
pose such perfidy In a high-tempered
speech, and one of the trustees who
hadn't been trusteeing long enough to
get bad habits had to send her off to
college without letting on who he was.
Judy spent the next four years In some
very Interesting ways. She talked a good
deal about how miserable she had been In
the asylum, how happy she was to be
out, and how miserable she was at not
having any parents. She fell In love with
bnth her metaphorical benefactor, "Daddy
Long Legs," who derived his name from
the optical tricks of his auto's headlights,
and her honest-to-goodnoss trustee, who
met her as Jervls Pendleton, a man en
cumbered with ancestors. Of course, ha
reciprocated. Of course, she feared ho
might hesitate over an orphan and sent
him away. And, of course, In the end
she found out who "Daddy Long Legs"
really was, and everything was as sweet
as could be. In between Judy found
time to become n. popular authoress fcr the
Century Company and to write wonder
ful, strange books', which were so dif
ferent from the sort of the thing which
one character described as "not true,
but comfortable." The play, it is gen
erally agreed. Is not autobiography.
No. "Daddy Long Legs" Is simply a
ucceBS. It is full of laughter and pathos
and whimsicality, mostly of the stage
variety. It is true, but tho kind playgoers
like. There s a most marvelous and Im
possible college tea, where none of the
girls has prepared any provisions and
where they scream if anybody threatens
to sit in the weak chair or move the fur
niture off the "family skeleton." an Ink
spot. There Is even a butler, named Wal
ters, who insists on his master taking
his medicine, and a recalcitrant master
who thereupon takes all the bottle at one
dose.
There are a good jnany other things to
account for tho success besides the sugar
and suet. One of the principal of these
Is Buth Chatterton. Miss Chatterton Is
not only an accomplished young Ingenue
With a pleasant and pliable voice, which
has qualities in It almost approaching tho
strained earnestness of Ethel Barrymore's
deep tones. Her personality a certain
inner restraint that stops Just short of
sulklness fits the spirited but unhappy
little orphan perfectly. Bits like tho
opening passage about green paint would
be admirable acting in any field and with
any personality.
Miss Chatterton works hard and se
riously and successfully with her mate
rial. Others work as hard, but scarcely
so seriously. From screaming college
girls to Mr. Henry Miller himself tho
performance is generally keyed to an
exaggerated stagey sense of comedy.
Some of the obvious hUmor, like sitting
in uncertain chairs, might be funnier if
played nearer life.
But the point is hardly worth quibbling
in the face of "Daddy Long Legs'" ap
pealing qualities as Mr. Miller knows.
He throtvg it all off with a kick of the
foot, a shrug of the shoulders, a twist of
the head or a comic bear-like waddle.
When he must clown at the tea, he does
It as it should be done, like a genial

Idiot. But the one serious moment Ills'
proposal recalls the Miller of other days
and other plays. What a pity he wastes
his fine talents as he has done since "The
Faith Healer" weht to smash!
There qught to be n, word for the
"Daddy Long Legs" sort of play which
should disarm criticism. If a playwright
takes unreality seriously we call It a
melodrama. If he takes It boisterously
wo call It a farce. The only word for
-.unaay irfmg Lgs" Is a success.
"Polly of the Circus"
The Walnut riayers demonstrated su
perior quality as a stock organlratlon
last night In 'Tolly of the Circus." They
stood the test of a piece that makes large
demands of character acting. Conven
tional as Margaret Mayo's production Is,
with Its rural comedy inclosing a central
episode of sentiment absolute, with Its In
cidental environment of the circus and its
constant stimulus of melodrama, enjoy
nble presentation of it requires actors
who can technically handle "types" with
out slips and breathe Into them something
of the sustaining afflatus of life.
Tho members of tho resident company
could do this and their rural gossips,
domineering deacons and men and women
of tho sawdust ring were real in Im
pression without being too actual In ex
pression. The "bit" of Undo Toby, the
clown, was appeallngly human enough to
recall tho original of tho lato John JBIn
lay, and when Colin White, tho new In
terpreter made his exit alter his brief
scene, a burst of aporrtaneons applause
swept over the house just as It
did on the opening night In this city.
Ada Deavens gave a graphic por
trayal of a "culled pehson," with an
amplitude of maternal feeling. Born aril
Steele, as Big Jim, the boss canvasman,
was robust and sterling in his char
acterization of Polly's "foster mother.
Others clamor for mention through sheer
merit: the acid old maid of May Edle
man, the depreciating and hypocritical
Deacon Elveraon of Cecil Lugrln, the
rancous and unjust fellow-deacon of H.
B. Norman, the shiftless coon of Leon
Kelly and tho blatant Impresario of the
big top of T. E. Leahy.
Of course there was the Polly, too,
worthy of mention. All the girlish grace
fulness and graclousness of Edith Talia
ferro, all her naivete of manner and
piquancies of tone were summoned to the
re-crcatlon of a rolo In which sho had
previous success. Earl Brown was virile
and effective as the young minister
defiant of country town conventions, his
original rolo.
"Bought and Paid For"
The Knlckbockers Players gavo a
careful and finished production of George
Broadhurst's "Bought and Paid For,"
whclv.last night filled the Knickerbocker
Theatre. Nothing which this capable
slock organization haB dono deserves a
higher meed,- of praise than tho capital
representation of the Brondhurst drama
which won the appreciative applause of
the big audience. Miss Frances Shan
non, tho new leading lady. In the role of
the young wife who so bravel resents
Indignities which her wealthy husband,
brutalized by overindulgence ln wine,
seeks to put upon her because he has
"bought and paid for" her, showed the
possession of emotional talent of no
mean order, and the calls before the cur
tain which followed the powerful second
act of the ploy, repeated at other Junc
tures of the absorbing story, wero a
sincere and well-merited tribute. Mr.
Brackett, ln the role of the husband,
deepened the good Impression he has
made, while comedy features of the play
contributed 'by Mr. LaSalle, Miss Carrie
Thatcher and the rest of the cast, re
lieved the tension of the sterner scenes.
The mounting of the play is all that
could be desired.
Vaudeville
Keith's
The pace tor quality and speed is set
by Fritzi Scheff, the versatile prima
donna of light opera fame, who delighted
a large audience last night at Keith's. It
was some relief to see her break the
rules of cut-and-dried vaudeville. First,
sho didn't have a piano on the stage, but
sang her numbers wtth tha orchestra,
which did nobly. August Klelnecke di
rected. Unlike others who plunge Into vaude
ville, the captivating prima donna did
not change her dress every time she
changed a song. In an up-to-date jew
eled gown which would require an art
connoisseur to describe properly, Miss
Scheff sang a number of her light opera
successes, including several from "Mile.
Modiste." and concluded with a beauti
ful medley of popular songs. She sang
all the selections without leaving the
stage., thus saving herself a lot of energy
and sparing her nerves by avoiding tho
quick change of costumes.
Incidentally the Viennese star had to
wait some time to get on the stage, for
Williams and Wolfus threatened to hold
it Indefinitely. This aueer nnlr aeamrl tn
blow ln from the Street, for they arrived
without any 'send oft" from the orches
tra. And In her hurry to arrive Miss
Wolfus met with an accident which tore
away a portion of her dress. This left
a good supply of hosiery showing, but she
finally discovered a window curtain under
her skirt and shut oft the view.
Mr. Williams played two different tunes
on the piano at once and sang a song
which didn't belong to either.
The spotlight man threw the wrong
colors on him during his most artlstio
moments and the orchestra muddled his
music. He fought with both and also
with his partner, and caused so much
commotion in general that the act was
the comedy hit of the bill.
The Metropolitan Dancing Girls, headed
by George and May Le Fevre, provided
an artlstio treat ln the way of picturesque
dances.
Leo Beers, a clever pianist, showed how
easy It was to make a hit with appar
ently no effort. Other acts which pleased
were Bertha Crelghton and company In a
sketch called "Our Husband," Frankls
Heath and George Perry, Al Lydell and
company in "X Native of Arkansas," The
Seebacks, expert bag punchers, and the
Four Original Londons ln a daring casting
act.
CROSS KEYS
"Colonial Days," a picturesque tabloid,
with a company of clever musicians and
singer. Is the headline 'attraction at the
Cross Keys. The act is one of the clas
siest seen at the West Philadelphia house
this season. Beautiful costumes and novel
effects greatly enhance Its value.
Other acts which pleased were Broirn
and Jackson, Ilawley and Hawley, Cam

NIXON-GRAND.
Eugenie Blair, well known for her Im

peared as the feature attraction at tho
Nixon-Grand, ln "Tho Reckoning Day,"
a tabloid drama, which gavo ample op
portunity to show her talent. She was
supported by a well-balanced cast and
was given warm approval by a good
sized audience. James B. Donovan,
known as the King of Ireland, and Mario
Lee, a Philadelphia girl who was former

made a decided hit in conversation and
songs, which were up to tho minute.
Tho bill also included Do Michelle

Familiar airs of worldwide popularity
figure prominently in the Songs of All
Nations, the chief attraction at tho Amer

received.

Tonight:
First Triangle Night
When you enter the Chestnut Street
Opera House tonight, you'll begin to
realize that the first Triangle night is
about to become an accomplished fact.
You'll see
DUSTIN FARNUM
in "The Iron Strain."
, RAYMOND HITCHCOCK
f in "My Valet."
' DOUGLAS FAIRBANKS
in "The Lamb."
These names are familiar to you. It
is easy to inlagine Farnum in the kind
of play he is most identified with. You
feel the breath of the great outdoors.
Then Hitchcock! Funny is hardly
the word for him! And in this play he
has broken comedy limitations, as well
as upset all known laws of gravitation.
And Fairbanks spells comedy of a
charming sort to you who know the
theatre. For you smile as you think of
him. And in "The Lamb" he has excep
tional opportunities.
Here is an evening such as could not
have been dreamed of until Triangle
Nights made it possible.
An entertainment that for produc
tion alone will have cost over a hundred
thousand dollars before the curtain
1 goes up at the Chestnut Street Opera
House tonight.
And all that is possible only because
Its tremendous cost will be shared by
every big city in the world.
But does that make it of less value
to you?

POET LE GALLIENNE
SUCCUMBS TO MOVIES
Noted Author Writes Scenario
on Novel Theme for Now
Equitable Company
By the Photoplay Editor
Itlchard Lo Galllcnno has at last suc
cumbed to the Jingle of the screen dol
lars. IIo has Just completed a flve-ftct
scenario for the .Equitable Motion Pic
tures Corporation, entitled "The Chain
Invisible," which he constructed with
a foreword of more or less Interest both
to tho producing company and tho public
at large.
" 'Tho Chain Invisible,' " says Lo Gal
llenne. "Is founded on tho proposition that
a healthy, normal man nnd woman, each
entirely dlrtcront from tho other in birth,
breeding, education, tastes, 'temperament
nnd disposition, must inevitably fall ln
lovo with each other provided they aro
constantly thrown Into each other's soci
ety and havo absolutely no opportunity
for conversation or Intimacy with any
other human being.
"This theory is advanced on tho be
lief that such falling In lovo Is morely
tho Inexorable working of nature that
two pcoplo so living nro bound by an
invisible chain, which merely stretches
If they chance tobe separated afterward.
But the chain never breaks."
Ixj Galllenne, who has withstood all
advances by film companies In the past,
decided to arrange tho Equitable scenario
nfter seeing two of that company's' fin
ished pictures. "Trilby" nnd "Tho Price."
To quote a well-known cartoonist, now
that Equitable has tho scenario they aro
in a quandary as to what to do with It.
Of tho great number of stars on the
Equitable roster. General Manager Feist
was at n loss as to who should play the
two prominent roles. In order to get the
principal parts Into tho right hands It
was decided to havo 20 copies of the
scenario written, nnd one given to each
of tho noted players associated with
Equitable, nnd then have the players
themselves vote as to who shbuld play
the Important roles.
Among tho noted players wjio will be
nsked to vote nre Robert Edcson. Knth
ryn Osterman, Lcnore Ulrlch, Florence
Itecd, Clam Whipple, Lily Cahlll, Ilobort
T. Haines, Margarita Fischer, Edwin
Ardon, Brandon Tynan, Alexandra Car
lisle, Katharine Kaclrcd, Gall Kane,
Charles J. Ross, Hilda Spong, Molly Mc
Intyrc, nelen Ware nnd Thomas A. Wise.
The men will have two votes each, the
women one, which will even up tho mat
ter of counts.
Testerday the Stanley started the photo
play, "Zaza," and Its chief Interpreter,
Pauline Frederick, on their second week
nt the Market street playhouse.
A large tramp steamship, which put
Into Port Los Angeles recently, was
leased by Managing Director Jesse J.
Robblns for uso ln "Shanghaied," tho lat
est Chaplin comedy being made ln the
local studios of the Essanay. Tho play
ers, IS ln number, dressed ln old clothes
and seafaring costumes, departed ono
morning at 1 o'clock aboard the hobo
veBrel and sailed to Borne Islands west of
here, where they did many scenes.
Announcement comes from the Paclflo
coast that Beverly Bayne has slgnod a
contract to appear ln the future exclu
sively in Quality-Metro productions.
When Francis X. Bushman was with tho
Essanay Company Miss Bayne was his
leading lady, and It Is very probable that
she will alternate In that capacity with
Marguerlto Snow for the Quality Pictures
Corporation.

MANCHE8TmR-BT-TID3-trfilA, Oct t
Sensational disclosures during the last
24 hours of tho disappearance of jewels,
worth at least na.000 from the Notts
Shore home of Mrs. James McMillan at.
most two months ago Have only tended
to mako the case more mystifying.
Not until yesterday had the State or
local authorities been asked to take' a
hand in the case, and, although hanll.
capped by only a short survey of the
situation, State Inspector Arthur Wella
arid Chief of Pollco Bulllvan wero abU
to point out a number of facts hitherto
unknown.
At the time the loss of the jewels wu
discovered, two months ago, New Tork
and Boston detectives were called in te
Investigate. Attdr working for two
months they asked permission to with
draw from the case, giving as their rea
son that they would cither have to meka
an arrest which would prove of a raoet
sensational oharacter, or drop their In
vestigation entirely. The nearest they
came to solving the mystery, It It bl
lieved, was when they declared the rob
bery to bo nn "Inside Job."
The Insurance company has taken t&k
view of tho case, but added that it fteli
confident no one connected with the
household is responsible for tho robbery
Georgo O. Stovens, of tho insurance link
has declared that although they atlU
hope to recover the gems, the company
is ready to pay tho insurance monfflr,
which amounts to $50,000.
Almost In direct contradiction of' the
Intimated sensational tone of the cats,
ns pointed out by tho detectives, came the
action of Mrs. McMillan ln calling the
police to assist.
