It's n Brave quntlon whether a critic
hat any business telling the plot of ft play
anyhow. But It Isn't a question with
"Under Cover." It's a crime.
You may mention the fact that lfa mod
ern, that lfa nbout society people, cus
toms officials and smugglers. .You may
even explajn that Stephen Denby la being
trailed down as a man who has smuBsIed
b IlK'.OOO necklace Into tho country, and
that tho cUtoms liouso detective has put
Denbv'a best younu lady friend on the
trail But so far, and no farther may
you bo. The real Is tllcncc. As for that
mysterious secret service agent, "It, J.,"
leave It to Mr. Harrington: "Sounds like
a collar or a corset."
For "t'nder Cover" Is a mystery play,
the mystery play, tho very first of the
dramas with twists in thorn, like "Seven
Keys to Baldpate," even if It does arrlv
In Philadelphia about two years after
Foston saw Its premiere "Under Cover"
puts any number of kinks In tho p.ay
wrltlng theories or Professor Cooker and
the critical dlctums of Dalan Ale, In all
the notions nbout drama that have held
water since Aristotle. For one thing. It
beglha tho fourth act a few minutes be
fore the third act Is supposed to end
end while it Is actually going on up
ttalrs; the result, a very effective sus
pense. But most Important of nil, it
disproves that once thriving Idea, that
no play can keep Its audience out of tho
secret, and lle; and tho result Is -a fas
cinating puzzle Just as potent ns any
detective story. Sit down befoio the piny
at tho Garrlck and try to puzzle out
Jut w-hat Is going to happen to bring
tho plot to any possible conclusion. If
you don't know who Stephen Denby Is
by the end of the second act and why
h Is doing what ho Is by tho end of tho
third, then ypu won't qualify for the
critics" class.
But you'll have a much more exciting
evening.
"Under Cover" Is no work ot art. But
It Is undeniably good entertainment, wltk
humor und thrllla well mixed. It Is in
genious and effective. Just that and noth
ing more, worth anybody's time who
likes good melodrama.
The performance last night was cnpable
enough. As Denby. rtockcllffo Fcllowes
was certainly as satisfactory ns Vv'U'
lnm Courtenay to any one but a wor
shiper of that peculiar and cloying talent
for good looks. Hubert Druce carried
oft his bit: W. It. Itandall followed close
In the footsteps of his predecessor, Do
"Witt C. Jennings but not too close and
Florence Malone made the heroine a
person of social rellncment and charm.
They were none of them quite what the
original company was. But "Under
, Coyer" Is still "Under Cover." K. M.
The Homespun Art
of William Hodge
Mr. Hodge has a telling advantage over
his fellow-stars: He doesn't have to fol
low the theatrical modes. One dramatic
suit lasts him well over several seasons.
His numerous audience realizes Its old
friend is Inside whether the external Is
the conventional legal broadcloth of
Daniel Voorhecs pike, of Kokomo. In
diana, or the' hickory Jeans of Jim Whit
man, of Newark Valley, York State.
The sartorial requirements of Mr.
Hodge are two only, simplicity of cut and
genuineness of texture. Clad In these,
his stage clothes do not grow shabby even
with three seasons' wear. It took nearly
that time to bring the Adelphl opening of
his new piece, "Tho Road to Happiness."
It has been tailored admirably to the
Hodge measure by Lawrence Whitman,
for a homespun play has to fit just so; It
must never conceal the rude strength
beneath yet must always soften the
lines of the angular figure and glorify the
homeliness ot the face abovo It with
something ot beauty.
Well Mr. Hodge's new play fits him
physically and spiritually. It Is simple,
ven nalre In plot; It's genuine In senti
ment and humor; It is built up, adjusted,
refined, bit by bit, word by word, to
fulfil the abounding; and wholesome per
sonality of the star; his traits have full
play, his drawling and drollery being
always In character. The play Is a little
ungainly In contour and crude In charac
terization, but Mr. Hodge suffuses It
with color of reality and the soul with
out which such a drama Is vain.
"The Road to Happiness" Is bucolic, but
not b'gosh, drama. It has Its domineer
ing squire, Hardcastle by name and hard
by nature, but no mortgage Is mentioned.
Jim Whitman, Jack-of-all-trades about
the place. Is the village Hampden who de
fies the tyrant througn four acts and by
virtue of a sunny philosophy, an unex
pectedly profitable elixir for horses, and
admission to the bar, wins over even the
tyrant and brings a whole family down
the road" to "happiness." Whereas In
humor, tenderness and sentiment "The
Man From Home" was Riley all through,
The Road to .Happiness" Is Will Carleton
and josh Billings, only modernized. It
shows the "man from home" "at home."
He has only to "act natural" to bo thor
oughly human to be Hodge, In short, and
In full.
Mr Hodge has a good company and a
fresh curtain speech even the egg re
ferred to Is new laid by a handsome
Barred Rock, which adorns the realistic
barn scene. Scott Cooper graphically
realizes the hard-hearted but eventually
softened squire a scond Dunstan Kirk,
and there's a "che-e-lld," too, and a
maiden driven from home. Mario Haynes
as Martha Hardcastle, the outspoken sis
ter, A. U. Evans as the rustic Phil Hunt,
Louis Mountlov as Judge Stevenson. How
ard Morgan as William Ackerman, the
hired man, all were excellent, while Mar
guerite Batterson, Miriam Collins, Ida
Vernon and Gladys Fairbanks gave "ro
mantic Interest" and good looks to tho
rforinmce.

Lyric "Hands Up"
Kobody knows and nobody cares why
It Is called "Hands Up." Nobody qulto
understands why It was advertised hi
being naughty, and It this Is Paris, give
us America! What everybody who was
at the Lyric last night does knew and
understand Is that "Hands Up" Is a Joy
cus and glorious occasion It Is the sort
of midwinter madness which usually
comes to Philadelphia at tho end of a
dull season and evens things up. This
time It comes at the beginning, and It
couldn't be belter
Now the reviewer's troubles begin. He
can skip the music and say that two of
tho seta were In excellent taste. He cun
compliment the chorus ladles on their
discretion and the chorus girls on a vast
variety of excellent things, But when It
comes to principals'
Maurice, with tho rather ecclesiastical
tltlo of "Mons " beforo his name, and
Florence Walton. Irene Franklin and
Burton Greene nre starred, to bo sure,
and they deserve It. But first (In the or
der of appearance) comes Georgo Hits
sell, a comedian with a gorgeous sense
of burlesquo. Ills take-off of melodrama,
of movie acting nnd of the dramatic
triangle (morals, not moles) Is superb.
They are nil a little rough, but ovcrre
flncmcnt would spoil them altogether. He
Is an enlarged edition ot Teddy Webb, and
tho plot nnd laughter quicken whenever
ho appears on tho stage. (The snmo govs
tor the dog.)
Ireno Franklin nnd the man who writes
her music fitted In beautifully, although
her nbnenco In tho presence of other
principals was noticed. She Rang her new
songs nnd her" old fnvorltes "Ilcdhcnd"
nnd "I Wnnt to Be n Jnnltor'B Child"
with nil her old touch of wilfulness nnd
her delicate vulgarity, which Is a positive
nrt with her The ntrnngo voice nnd the
crooking linger, tho mnnnerlsms nnd the
humnn touch, brought her almost excess
ive cncorcB,
Now ns to tho dancing there may bo
various opinions. The best one Is that
Maurice and Walton, splendidly paired,
do wonderful work In n wonderful wny.
Tho only question Is whether you care
to sec social dancing so specialized and
put on the stnge. All dancing should be
done, or nt least should appear to bo done,
for tho sheer Joy of It There, nnd there
only, M. Maurice nnd his Impel turbablo
partner often fell short. They nro both
exquisite and graceful, their senso of
rhythm Is perfect. And In the wny of
singing they both follow Wlllard Sims'
Idea, that If you have art, you don't need
a voice.
Mr Sims himself stands high In this
catalogue of good things In burlesquo
he took ort the chorus lady of earlier
times, a little broadly, but very humor
ously. As the protean detective (Fnke
Kenneth') he played mnny parts, all glad
ones. Ho was assisted by Bobbv North
In his nstnnlshing series of reminiscences
of Al Jolson For features there were A.
Robins, the eccentric, nnd Maurice's kids.
For singing there were apparently Hazel
Klrke nnd her stage fiance. Artie Meh
Ilnger. But ns was said before, nothing
need be said of tho music, nnd singing
Is sometimes music.
And there you nrc There are 2t num
bers on tho program. Thero nro 10 scenes.
And the chorus fills nnd beautifies each
one. Not ulnce the Winter Garden show
has the Lyric been such a wild nnd happy
place.
"The Vampire" nt the Walnut
Melodrama of gamblers, crooks, ad
venturesses, Innocent youths and relent
less revenge runs riot In "The Vnmphe,"
the attraction at the Walnut Street Thea
tre this week.
Jeanne, definitely designated In the pro
gram ns the Woman, nnd her partner, tho
Hawk, nttempt to fleece tho Son. Jeanne
does her work well, and soon has the
youngster completely in her toils. But
then tho "beans are spilled' for the Hawk.
He had counted upon at least $10,000 from
tho Son, who, engaged to the Girl, rnado
lovo to Jeanne masquerading as the
Hawk's daughter.
However, the Son sees a picture of his
father In the Woman's room. She, to re
venge herself on the pater who had de
spoiled her and ruined her life, forgets
all about the J1O.O0O the Hawk In worry
ing about and starts to play her own
game to get the Son. This she does
very effectively, only to have the good
that shines behind the sorrow In her eyes
come to the surface In the last act and
spoil it nil.
Kathryn Purnell plays Jeanne, Jerome
Renner, the Son, and Hugh Harper, the
Hawk. The others did well In their
parts, less thankless because, there was
less to do.

KEITH'S.
One Just felt like reaching over the
footlights and extending a royal welcome
to tho famous characters whom we have
known since childhood as they Stepped
on the deck of II. M. 8. Pinafore last
night, which steamed into port with the
best musical revue that Keith's has had
In mnny seasons
A Gilbert and Sullivan Revue Is the
title, and It Is lived up to literally. On
the deck ot the famous craft the distin
guished personages ot four operas met
nnd showed, In a nutshell, that harmony
Is better for the world than constant
strife. Woven Into a consistent story
wero "rinrtfore." "Mlksdo." "Gondoliers"
nnd "Pirates of Penzance.'"
Tho combination operatic story was
staged under the direction of Mr. Albert
Pellnton, who deserves much credit for
tho artistic result And this musical
craft hnd an ablo pilot In Mr. Frederick
Schwartz, who led tho entire crew of
more than two score from one opera land
to tho other through an unruffled course.
Florence Mncklc Was a winsome Jo-
60Uhln.e In "Pinafore," nnd proved herself ,
to do a very cnpable "Ingenue" prima
donna In the other operatic roles. In addi
tion to nn excellent soprano voice she pos
sesses that asset which Is essential to
succes magnetism.
Robert Dore made a romantic Ralph
Itackstraw nnd aleo won frequent ap
plause In Boveral other roles. Captain Cor
coran wns given the proper dignity by E.
Percy Parsons, who sang this and other
roles creditably. Carl Anderson as Dick
Dead Lye and Sergeant of Police, nnd
Evn Qulntard ns Buttercup won many
laughs. Tho other principals were nlso
capable. Tho ensemble nnd ever chang
ing costumes gavo tho proper atmosphere
to the production, all of which showed
careful nttcntlon to detail. A word about
the battleship on which tho "quad-rntlc"
opera wns staged It was a most practical
dreadnought, with lMnch guns nnd looked
masrhe enough to go Into action Imme
diately. The scene was greeted with an
abundance of npplnusc. It was tho clos
ing fcaturu ot an excellent Vaudcvllla bill,
und the fact that It held the audience to
the vi ry last note Is the best proof of Its
merit
Charley Giapcwln and Anna Chance In
"Poughkcepslc" renewed former friend
ships nnd aroused many laughs. Ger
trudo Vnndcrbllt and Georgo Moore, of
musical comedy fame, showed that they
could do a little of ctcrythlug and do It
well.
Thero were thrills caloro In "The Slave
Dealer," presented by Al Golden Com
pany. This Is an acrobatic dramatic act,
which Is ahead of anything In tho gym
nastic line over seen here. There aro a
score of'darlng gymnasts In the cast.
Tho bill also Included Webb and Burns,
Ryan nnd Tlerney, Albert G. Cutler,
bllllardlst, and Fred nnd Adelo Antaire.
President Wilson and hla llancce aro
seen In "At the Ball Game," In tho pic
tures. Here and There

There were three shows in one nt the
Nixon this week circus, minstrel and
vaudeville combined. Tho feature of the
triple combination Is the Royal Lilliputian
Revue, in which thurc Is a company of
25 diminutive Performers. Incidental y,
thero nrc 11 ponlo and two baby ele
phants, which tak-e a promlnenUpart in
tho festivities. Tho animals obey every
order of little Carl Becker, their master,
without the slightest objection. Despite
his abbreviated figure, Alex Vaschock
proves himself to be a wonderfully strong
man nnd lifts things ten times his weight.
The miniature women of tho troupe are
excellent singers nnd dancers.
Tho minstrel show Is presented by Add
Hoyt and his minstrel men, which won
laughs and applause with their wit and
music. Other nets Included the Variety
Trio, Lucas and Lucille and "When Greek
Meets Greek," , ,
NIXON'S GRAND.
Memories ot childhood days nre re
vived by "The School Playgrounds,"
which tops tho bill at tho Nixon-Grand.
El. Brendell, a Philadelphia comedian, Is
the chief fun-maker nnd corners all tho
honors.
Other acts on the bill are the Arnnud
Brothers, musical clowns; Castano and
Nelson, dancers; Stanley and Lambert,
Miss Williams, expert chair balancer, and
Jack Onrl, Juggler.

Second Triangle Series
Makes Smashing Hit
The second group of Triangle. Plays which opened at
the Chestnut Street Opera House yesterday afternoon has
established a high mark for this new form of dramatic pre
sentation. After the huge triumph of the first week it was
said the mark set was too high for safety that we couldn't
hold the pace. We didn't have any such fear, we knew what
was coming. And now Philadelphia agrees with us that the
new series is even better than- the first if that is possible.
Stupendous in concept; admirably daring in execution
"The Coward," with Frank Kcenan, draws gasps from
every audience that sees it. You'll know why when you
see it.
If there's a single tear at the back of your eye, "Old
Heidelberg," with Dorothy Gish, will bring it forth.
As for roaring comedy, there are Hitchcock and Foy,
so you are certain of laughter.
If you were not at the Chestnut Street Opera House
yesterday, you certainly should not fail togo today, to
morrow, or some time this week.

EXCELLENT NEW BILL
OF TRIANGLE FILMS
Four of Them, With Kccnnn
tho Star in Ince's "The Cow
ard" Other Features
By tho rhotopfay Editor
The Triangle has developed Into ft
trapezium. Instead of three corners, the
entertainment at the Opera House this
week has four. Mack Scnnett supplies
tho two minor angles with Kddle Foy In
n circus com.edy, "A Favorite Fool." nnd
Haymond Hitchcock In ''Stolen Magic."
Tho latter Is the smaller. It gets a good
number of laughs out of Mr. Hlchcock as
a learned ophldologlst fresh from India
and loaded with snakes. It doesn't get
ns many out of the magic as It might
If It weren't so concerned with the
grosser type of humor. But Mr. Hitch
cock, Mack Sennet and Mabel Normand
do make It undeniably amusing.
"A Favorite Fool" Introduces nddle
Foy as a rival to Charley Chaplin and
throws In the seven Uttlo Foys for good
measure. Its tale of a stolen circus nnd
Its clcne In a terrific storm that aids tho
vllllan In wrecking the circus tent, nio a
good deal above the usual Keystone
standard In method nnd quite on a par
with It for laugh-getting.
This week drlfllth yields place to Inco
unci occupies the third of the. four cor
ners with n pretty nnd eftectlvo version
of "Old Htldelbcrg," with trimmings.
One of these Is n royal tutor who looks
llko Wllllnm Jennings Drynn nnd Induces
his pupil to put a strain of pcaco-at-any-prlce
Into the German nation. The prlnco
mil finds that duty calls him from his
Knthto at the Heidelberg Inn, but he
finds duty rather desirable when It means
saving his pcoplo from war. Somo very
pretty photography and some spirited
grouping shows us the glories of "tap
day" nt old Heidelberg, and thero Is a
miniature edition of a "Birth of a Na
tion" battle. Vallaco Held plays the
prlnco engagingly and Dorothy Gish Isn't
half so Qlshy ns her sister Lillian ud nt
the Forrest. The only flaws to pick In
tho work of John Emerson, who staged
"Old Heidelberg," under Qrimth's super
vision, are modern American clothes for
German boys of 15 or 2tf years ago, Ger
man helmets of that period covered with
tho gray cloth that went Into Belgium,
and political difficulties that naturally
arlie over staging an Interstate conflict
In 10th-century Germany,
Tho fourth and largest and most In
teresting angle of thh Interesting trape
zium Is Thomas Ince's production, "The
Coward." It employs for tho first time
on the screen that eminent specialist In
Confederate generals, Frank Kecnan.
Mr. Keenan'a hard-lined face and dru
matlc poise show to remarkable advan
tage In the Alms. Where he Buffers al
most not at all by the lack of speech,
this story of a boy who fears to go to
war, deserts and then conquers his cow
ardice, positively gains. Under tho sen
sitive and nppeallng acting of Charles
Itay, tho Inner conflict of the youth
comes out as it never could in spoken
drama. This sort ot fear Is a matter of
glances, not words.
The staging Is quite as good as tho
story. Thero are admirable chases, a
thrilling fall of rider and horso from a
bridge and a number of battle scenes
quite ns animated na anything In "The
Birth of a Nation." Unfortunately, they
are shown In a foolish blue and red print
that Is. supposed to have something to
do with tho sunrise.
Tho second bill at the Opera House Is
a big advanco of the first. It Is good,
well-rounded film entertainment.
