A Football Game in North Phil
adelphia Where the Audi
ence Was Paid to Watch
In the calendars of the small boys of
North Philadelphia there stands out from
all other festive occasions one red-letter
flay, which every mother's son will re
member as long- as they live.
This -was the day when Marie Dressier
and her company from the Lubln studios
took possession of Washington Park to
41hn the football scenes in Acton Davies'
photoplay. "Tulle's Tcmato Surprise."
In the mind of the average Philadelphia
small boy Washington Park is usually
associated with amateur baseball games.
Once or twice In the fair a football game
Is played there and occasionally a small
fly-by-night circus camps there for a
day.
But no circus that ever appeared there
raised such a rumpus and sensation as
-Tomato Surprise." J
Tom aicKaughton, who plays the role
of TMIeV villainous cousin. Percy -Jitney,
was the first to arrive on the scene.
It was about 8:30 in the morning when
Mr. McNaughton. in the eccentric cos
tume and make-up which he wears in
the play, came in a taxi to the ball
grounds. Some Italian laborers were the
'first to spot him.
"Looka dls," cried one of them. "Dls
a Charlie De Chap."
With the arrival of Colin Campbell.
who plays the Flying Scotchman and
wears a kiltund & pair of wings through
out the picture, the small boys of the
neighborhood began to take notice.
Then with the arrival of a country band
,nd some 690 supers from the Lubln
studios the grounds .began to take on
an the -attributes of one gala day. At
10 o'clock, when Miss Dressier in her
make-op arrived on the scene, there was
a crowd of no less than 230 boys and
girU, to say nothing of babies, grown-ups
and dogs awaiting her.
Af sight of her. a. great chorus of wel
come went up. It was as though every
one of -them had unexpectedly run across
an old -friend.
Tt's Taile.' they cried, fairly mobbing
her TTleab
"2ever In -my life, either on or oft the
. stage." said Miss Dressier, -have I had
an. ovaticn which made me feel so good
all over. It certainly did warm the
cockles of ray heart. After that the fun
becah In earnest."
"Before Tillle.' becomes a volunteer
football slayer she has no end of adven
tures In the -grandstand. In these scenes
the youngsters took such a vital, interest
that I began to regret we had brought

The noted dramatist's widow, who
will speak at the Little Theatre
tonight.
any supers along with us, these children
proved to be so much better actors.
"There was a long, row of big elms
right back of the grandstand so I told
the youngsters that to each of them who
would climb up into the branches and re
main there until the picture was over, I
-would pay -a quarter at a dollar. When
I made this financial arrangement. I
thought that the picture would be over
in a couple of hours. The -first rays of
sunset still found us -working on the foot
hall -scenes, however. But not one of the
120 kiddies in the trees had forsaken his
post. And what more God bless them!
none of them had thought of sending a
walking delegates to me to ask for over
time wages.
"However. I hadn't forgotten them. At
noon L had a small truck of .sandwiches
distributed among them, and then, as by
that time no less than 40 hokey-pokey ice
cream wagons had arrived on the
grounds, I bought up the contents of
three and sent them up In the tiees for
distribution- It's a wonder to me we
didn't all die of ptomaine poisoning from
the amount of penny ice cream we ate
that day.

Mme. Strindberg's Lecture
Not only the widening circle of the late
August Strindberg's admirers, but also
those navigators of modern literary cur
rents who have not yet encountered the
writings of Sweden's greatest poet and
dramatist should find much to Interest
them in the lecture which Mme. Strind
berg will deliver this evening at the Little
Theatre. The subject of the talk is "The
Shrine of Art; Holocausts and Auguries,"
and the lecturer will use as material
mainly personal reminiscences of artists
and prominent literary figures of the other
side of the Atlantic
Mme. Strindberg, who thus makes her
first appearance in Philadelphia, confesses
that she may commit "a few indiscre
tions" in discussing her artistic friends,
since, she adds, "real genius is beauty
and beauty is most beautiful when un
masked." In addition to comment on the works of
her gifted busband, mention will be made
of certain hitherto undisclosed phases of
the art and personality of such notables
as Paul Verlalne, Holger Drachman, the
Danish poet; Georg Branes, Emile Zola,
Henri Becqe, Herman Sudermann, Ger
nard Hauptmann, PrzybyszcwskL Augus
tus John and Walter Greaves, pupil of
Whistler. She will also read unpublished
letters from Aubrey Beardsley.
