By the Photoplay Editor
TestMay the Chmtrtut Btrect Opera
Hou showed the bent bill of Triangle
?hotorlnya since the theatre's rcopenlnK.
t waa well balanced In subject and treat
ment, the film were extremely well taken
and the nctlntr wan all excellent.
Rvcn the two Keystone contributions
were varied and balanced One. "Flcklo
Fntty' Fall." handled tho old "rough
atult" perfectly The falls, knockdowns,
accidents and byplay were all Ingenious
nnd generally original. If Tillies' recre
ation pier cropped up again. It Introduced
the new automobile hecl chair as a nov
elty. '"His Father's Footstep," the other
Keystone, was positively polite up to the
last few hundred feet. Nobody lost his
balance Nobody decorated anybody else
with batter. And then1-! Oh, fire hose of
Charley Chaplin! Oh, "Hatards of
Helen'"
Mr Ince'a company aatonlahed a xood
many of the audience by an cmbrjonlc
thel play. The sociologist and tho sex
philosopher are abroad In the moles.
And, lo and behold' the moles take to
them remarkably well. "Matrimony"
asked the very pertinent question, "Why
should the wife bo expected to 'hold' the
husband " It asked It with a lot of Inci
dents that are more or less the conven
tions of tho stage Jealousies and counter-Jealousies
and wives who try to be as
gav aa their rivals and end by being as
indifferent as their husbands, nut the
whole thing was so admirably handled as
to be n real novelty A remarkably reat
and elaborato setting so real and elab
orate that It probably Is an ordinary
house was backed up by acting on tho
part of Howard Hickman and Julia Dean
which was constraint Itself. Some very
fine lighting added to tho finish of the
whole.
The Griffith supervised film yesterday
afternoon was a thriller called "The
Snble Lorcha " In which Tullv Marshall
played a diabolical "chink" In his best
diabolical manner and Thomas Jefferson
did a much persecuted cross between
John D. and Henry Ford. To tell what
It was all about Is to ruin the future
patron's pleasure. But It thrills very
Ingeniously nnd verv effectively. And
It gives the Board of Censors one more
chance to blunder about.
This week the Metropolitan Is relying
on "Tho Family Cupboard" as Its principal
photoplay, with Holbrook Ullnn as the
featured plaer. There are other short
films. The chief novelty In the musical
part of the entertainment la Mr. Lip
schutz. who sings at the reorganized

cals composed of waltz Kerns from "Blue
Danube." "Pirates of Penzance," "The
Merry Widow" and others, and a grand
opera finale In which selections from

aung by Arthur Aldrldgo and Harry
Luckstonc.

Vaudeville
KEITH'S
Thero wasn't much fuss nbout an
nouncing tho Watson slaters nt Keith's
this week, nut they made all the fuss
after they pot on the stago In the ver
nacutnr of vaudeville, they "cleaned up "
Their pood results upon their first visit
to Keith's can bo summed up In threo
words, "ability," "magnetism," "style."
It would bo no exaggeration to say that
they nbout set tho pneo for sister teami
In vaudeville, and if npplause talks, that's
uhm the nudlence raid
Loulso Gunning, tho petite musical com
edy star, revived memories of early mu
sical triumphs. In addition to offering a
number of highly classical selections,
which afforded opportunity for artistic
vocalizing, sho also rendered "Comtn'
Thro' the Rye" nnd similar selections In
costume that ndtlcd charm to tho music
She was rewarded with many "curtains"
and nbundant applause. Miss Gunning
Mat nbly uccompnnled by Vnt Cunning
ham. And then there was Milt Colllni "the
Speaker of tho House " Ho explained
with figures and facta tho Inside workings
of tho tariff "bull." and covered live
Issues of the day. He especially deplored
tho fact thnt Mr. Bryan wanted us to
fight C-centlmetro guns nnd gas bombs
with love. Mr. Collins obtained his In
formation from Aaron Hoffmnn, who
manag-s to keep In front of the sure-fire
lauch line.
"Womnn Propose," n one-act satire by
the late Paul Armstrong, was one of tho
nrtlstlc hits of the bill
As Mnn, who believes In tho theory,
Georgo Kelly proved his contention easily
nnd although somewhat sepulchral In his
tones', fit In with tho atmosphere. The
other characters were well rendered by
Arline Fredericks, Louis Corbln, George
P. Marshall, Mnrlon Goa, Clajton Kear
ton, Jane Kemray and James P. Hacnn.
Other acts well received were tho Bag
gesenB, In a china-breaking comedy; Ar
tHur Stlno nnd Marlon Hayes, In a com
edy full of new Ideas; These Trench Girls;
Mao lironto nnd Ernest Aldwell, In a
singing act, nnd tho James Dutton Com
pany, In an nrtlstlc equestrian act.
GLOBE.
Vic Richards, backed by a company
of first-class blnckface comedians known
ns Murphy's Minstrels, features the bill
this week at the Globe. Vic Is Just as
droll as In the old days when he acted
as the Joo-Weber partner of Hughie
Dougherty In the end-man combination
at IJumont's.
Charles Schlsler and Gus Benkert, with
their company of eight singers, pressed
Vic hard for first honors, aa their line
of songs and dances, Incorporated Into a
pleasing musical comedietta, won the
plaudits of the nudlence. Barrett and
Earl, In "The Nut In Cornedy," was an
other big act which pleased. Others In
the bill Included Isabelle Miller and com
pany, Skipper nnd Kaatrup, Freddie
James, Margaret Dawson, Jack Lewis,
tho Duquesne Comedy Four and the acro
batic troupe of Rive Larsen.
Here and There
NIXON-GRAND
"Five Beauties and a Spct," featuring
Lotta Baker, of "Adele" and "Quaker
Girl" fame, and Jack Russell, an eccen
tric dancer, was the headllner of the pro
gram at Nixon's Grand Opera House last
night. With tho exception of an acro
batic act, the comedians reigned supreme
and drew a laugh a minute. Murray Ben
nett entertained with many new stories,
whllo Hayes and Thatcher offered "Tho
Bargain Hunters," a sketch demonstrat
ing a humorous phase of married life.
Gruett and Gruett, two minstrel men, en
tertained with "Sim's Substitute," a
laughablo skit, and punctuated their act
with Instrumental numbers. Tho Artola
brothers demonstrated their ability aa
horlrontaltsts of tho first class. Everett's
Monkey Circus waa presented and made a
hit both with the kids and their parents
s like.
CROSS KEYS.
There Is plenty of action In the bill at
the Cross Keys this week and It Is even
ly balanced with a good supply of music.
The Six Little Song Birds captured a
large share of the applause In an enter
taining musical act In which the latest
songs were offered in snappy style. Pier
23, a sketch with lively situations, also
won approval.
Other acta on the bill Include Evans
and Wilson, Hoi Eastman, Weston and
Symonds and De Mar's Circus.
AMERICAN.
Martial airs and a true military spirit
mako "West Point Frolics," the head
liner at tho American, o decidedly pop
ular offering. The scenery and costumes
supply an atmosphere which greatly en
hances the value of the act. Luclana
Lucca won approval In songs of yester
day and today. Jackson, Waterbury and
company In "Rehearsal Morn" gave a
true Impression of the troubles of stage
folk. Gordon and Whlto and the Emslle
sisters rounded out the bill.

New lork elt. Early eprlng, thle year.
Where would the nubile be without tho
New Haven Rallrond? No wrecks. No
Jokes. No farces. Not "A Full Home,"
anyway.
Last night Fred Jackson turned a full
Pullman Into "A Full House." Now full
houses have been discovered In connec
tion with Pullmans before this, But they
weren't usually tho results of wrecks.
This oercrowded domlcllo of Georgo
Howell, nowiywcd, most decidedly was.
Just to oblige a friend, ho went to llos
ton to get some compromising letters
from a chorus girl. Another gentlcmnn
went to Boston to get some qulto un
compromising nnd genuine Jewels from a
rich old lady. And they came back In
tho samo section the snmo night. It wns
nlso the night of a New Haven wreck
or rather, so early In the morning that
It wns tho llrst one tho rond had had
that day In tlio confusion Georgo got
something besides a bcrthmark. Ho got
tho other gentleman's grip.
Now, If you dump a grlpful of burglar'B
tools and nccklnces Into a flat already
containing wlfcy, aunties, oung friend
and his Intended and then add tho burg
lar, tho compromising letters, tho chorus
girl and half a dozen policemen, well,
whnt can you oxpect? A full house?
"A Full House." Indeed. Three lnughs
and a pair of roars to every other line.
Possibly this Implies that Mr Jackson
has done something new He hasn't. Ho
has JUBt produced a very funny and very
successful farce out of the stock ma
terial of tho American stage tho crook,
tho cop nnd tho chorus girl. Most of his
Jokes nre good Jokes, most of his situa
tions are good situations, nnd those that
aren't look very much 111 e It when Georgo
Parson, Herbert Cortheli, Edgar Nor
ton and May Vokes get through with
them.
May Vokes servant girl Is the same
old baggage of tricks, with what psy
chologist Freud would call a "complex"
on Sioux City added to her general half
witted condition. That voice, thoso eyes;
they're Impossible, but they're funny.
Likewise, Mr. Cortheli and his legs, nlso
Mr. Norton, a sort of well-bred Bllllo
Reeves with humor Injected. As for Mr.
Parsons, he will go far. He will go
farther than the New Haen can ever
carry him. With his straightforward
comic touch, not even a wreck can stop
him. In fact, a wreck Just seema to start
him going.
And to think. Files, that an ungrateful
people aro hangin' Mr. Mellen In tho
mornln'! K. M.
Penn Players Excel
in "Within the Law"
The Penn Players really distinguished
themsehes In the production of "With
in the Law" at the Walnut Street The
atre last night This clever four-act In
sight Into the ways of crooks and their
enemies, tho police, Is by no means easy
for a stock company, yet the Penn
Players handled It excellently and
showed a tremendous Improvement In the
second offering under the management of
Grant Laferty, over their work the first
week.
"Within the Law" has rolled so many
dollars Into the pockets of the author,
Bajard Velller, has caused so many audi
ences ftom coast to coast alternately to
laugh and grip the sides of their chairs
In a frenzy of excitement, has provided
so much genuine amusement for no many
thousand of theatregoers, that there long
ago ceased to be any doubt concerning
Its appeal To say that tho play Itself
made a hit at the Walnut Is but to
record perfunctorily what could not have
been otherwise.
But the skill of the Penn Players was,
until lust night, an unknown quantity.
They have proed their ability In "With
in the Law." Individually and as n wholo
they seem to have "arrived." Especially
In the case of Miss Irene Oshler, the
leading woman, was a tremendous Im
provement noticed. Last week, cast In
an uncongenial role. It was hard to real
ize that sho was to play leads. This
week, as the self-possessed Mary Turner,
a crook who stays "Inside the law," sho
shows that the management made no mis
take In engaging her. At all times she
dominated the play, acting with finish
and presenting to the eye a charming
piesence. Sharing tho honors with her
was William Lambert, whose Joe Garson
was a fine bit of character work. Ed
ward Everett Horton, Jr., acted up to his
usual standard. James J. Garry plaed
Inspector Burke with admirable brutal
ity, and Maud Blair supplied the amuse
ment as tho Ingenuous Aggie Lynch. The
remainder of the cast was uniformly
competent.
"The Dummy" at
the Knickerbocker
Crooks and detectives aro a pretty good
bet In any melodrama. Add a messen
ger boy who wants to become a sleuth,
and the combination Is almost Irresist
ible. Mr. Harvey J, O'HIgglns knew that
when he put Barney, tho kid "detccutlve,"
Into fiction. Harriet Ford knew It Just
as well when she put him Into a play.
And Manager Miller of the Knickerbocker
kenw It still better when he choso "The
Dummy" for one of his productions. That
boy element paves even the thin little
third act from failure.
At tho Knickerbocker the regular stock
company has been supplemented for the
present production by the addition of
Oeorgle Mack, an aetpr with much ex
perience In boys' parts. Last night he
fitted admirably Into the ensemble.
Splendid Acting

At, last Philadelphia lias real drama.

yourself!" ho cried, and hurried from tho
room.
It was with n. certain satisfaction that
I onco moro donned buckskin and spurred
boots and noticed moreover how light
my coat was become across tho shoul
ders; yet I dressed hastily, for my mind
wnK already on the road, galloping to
Charmlnn.
In the, llhrnrv I found Sir Richard and
Mr. Grainger, who greeted me with his
precise little bow.
"I have to congratulatq you. Sir reter,"
ho began, "not only on your distin
guished marriage nnd accession to for
tune, but upon tho fact that the ah un
pleasantness connecting n certain Peter
Smith with your unfortunate cousin's
Into decease has been entirely removed
by means of tho murderer's written con
fession, placed In my hands somo dnys
ago bv the Lady Sofia."
"A written confession and sho brought
It to you7"
"Gnllopcd all tho way from Tonbrldge,
by Gad!" nodded Sir Richard.
"It seems." pursued Mr. Grainger,
"that the ah man, John Strickland, by
name, lodged with a certain preacher, to
whom, In Lady Vibart's presence, he
confessed his crime, and willingly wroto
out a deposition to that effect. It also
appears that tho man, sick though he
was, wandered from the preacher's cot
tnge, and was eventually found upon tho
road, nnd now lies in Maidstone gaol, in
a dying condition."
Chtnclng, presently, to look- from tho
window, I beheld a groom who led n
horso up nnd down before tho door; and
the groom was Adam, and tho horse
I opened tho window, nnd, leaning out,
called a name. At tho sound of my voice
tho man smiled and touched his hat, nnd
the mare ceased her pawing and chafing,
nnd turned upon mo a pair of great. Boft
ejes, and snuffed the air and whinnied.
So I leapt out of tho window and down
the steps, nnd thus It wns that I met
"Wings."
"She bo In the pink o' condition, sir,"
said Adam proudly:. "Sir Richard bought

"For a song!" added the baronet, who,
with Mr. Grainger, had followed to bid
me good-by. "I really got her remark
ablv cheap, ' he explained, thrusting his
fists deep into his pockets and frowning
down my thanks. But, when I had
swung myself Into tho saddle he camo
and lnld his hand upon my knee.
"You are going to find her, Peter?"
"Yea, sir."
"And ou know where to look?"
"I think so "
"Because, If you don't I might "
"I shall go to a certain cottnge," said
I tentatively.
"Then ou'd better go, boy the mare's
all excitement good-by, Peter and cut

gripped my hand very hard and stared
at me also very hard, though the tears
btood In his eyes. "I nhvnjs felt very

grave discussions to turn and watch us

never n stop; up Pembry hill, and down,
galloping so lightly, so ensUy. over that
hard, familiar road, which I had lately
tramped with so much toll nnd pain;
and so, ns evening fell, to Sisslnghust.
A dreamy, sleepy place Is Slsslnghurst
nt all times, for Its few cottages, llko
Its Inn, nre very old, and great age be
gets dreams. But. when tho sun Is low.
and tho shadows creep out, when tho old
Inn btlnka drowsy cjes at tho cottares,
and they blink back drowsily at the Inn,
llko the old friends they aro; when dis
tant cows low at gates and fences; when
sheep-bells tinkle faintly; when tho weary
toller, scnted sldownja on his weary
horse, fores homewnrd, nodding sleepily
with every plodding footfall, but rousing
to gle one a drowsy "good night," then
who can resist tho Bomnolent charm of
the place, save only tho "Bull" himself,
snorting down In lofty contempt ns roll
ing of oyo, as curly of horn, as stiff as
to toll ns any Indignant bull ever was,
or shall be.
But ns I rode, watching tho evening
deepen nbout me, soft nnd clear roso the
merry chime of hammer nnd anvil, nnd,
turning nsldo to tho smithy, I paused
there, nnd, stooping my head, looked In
nt tho door.
"George," said I. He started erect,
nnd, dropping hammer and tongs, came
out, running, then stopped suddenly, as
one abaBhcd.
"Oh, friend!" said I, "don't you know
mo?"
"Why reter " he stammered, and
broke off.
"Have you no greeting for me, George?"
"Ay, ny I hecrd you was free, Peter,
and I wns glad glnd, because you was
the man ns I loved, nn' I waited ny, I've
been wnltln' for 'ee to c6me back. But
now you be so changed so fine nn
grand an' I bo all black wP soot from the
fire oh, manl ye bean't my Peter no
more "
"Never say that, George never say
that " I cried, and, leaping from tho Bad
die, I would have caught his hand In
mine, but ho drew back.
"You be so fino nn' grand, Peter, an'
I bo nil sooty from the fire!" ho repeated.
"I'd llko to Just wash my 'ands first."
"Oh, Block George!" said I, "dear
George."
"Bo you rich now, Peter?"
"Yei, I suppose so."
"A gentleman wP 'orscs an' 'ousts an'
servants?" '
"Well-what of It?"
"I'd like to wash my 'ands first. If
so bo you don't mind, Peter."
"George," said I, "don't be a fool!"
Now, ns wo stood thus, fronting each
other In the doorwny, I heard a light
step upon the road behind me, and, turn
ing, beheld Prudence.
"Oh, Prue, Georgo Is afraid of my
clothes, and won't you shake, hands with
mo!" For a moment she hesitntcd, look
ing from one to the other of us then,
all at once, laughing a little nnd blushing
a little, she leaned forward and kissed
me.
"Whv, George!" said she, still blushing,
"how fullsh you bo. Mr. Peter were as
much a gentleman In his leather apron
as over he Is In his fine coat how fullsh
you be, George!" So proud George gave
me his hand, all grimy as It was, rejoic
ing over mo because of my good fortune
and mounting over mo because my smith
ing days were over.
"Ye see, Peter, when men 'as worked
fogether-and sorrowed together1 an' fou't
togelhor an' knocked each other down
like you an' me It bean't so easy to say
'goodby' so, If you must leave us why
don't let's Bay It."

"No, George, there shall bo no 'good
bya' for either one of us, and I shall
come back soon. Until then, take my
mare have her made comfortable for me,
and now good night cood night!"
And so, clasping their loving hands, I
turned away, somewhat hurriedly, and
left them.
There was no moon, but the night was
luminous with stars, and, as I strode
along, my eyes were often lifted to the
"wonder Of tho heavens," and 1 won
dered which particular star was Char
mtan's and which mine.
Reaching tho Hollow, I paused to glance
nbout me, as I ever did, before descend
ing that leafy path; and the shadows
were very black and a chill wind stirred
among the leaves, so thnt I shivered, and
wondered, for the first time. If I had come
right If the cottage had been In Char
m Inn's mind when she wrote.
Then I descended tho path, hurrying
past a certain dark spot. And, coming
at last within sight of the cottage, I
paused ngaln, and shivered again, for
tho windows were dark nd the door shut
But the latch yielded readily beneath
my hand, so I went In and closed and
barred tho door behind mo.
For upon the hearth a flro burned with
a dim, red glow that filled the place with
shadows, and tho shadows were very
deep.
"Chnrmlanl" said I, "oh, Charmlan, are
you thcte have I guessed right?" I
heard a rustlo close behldo me, and in
tho gloom came a hand to meet and
clasp my own; wherefore I stooped and
kissed those slender fingers, drawing her
Into the flrcglow; and her eyes wero hid
den by their lashes, and the glow of the
flro seemed deflected In her cheeks.
"The candles were so bright, Peter,"
she whispered.
"Yes."
"And so when I heard you coming"
"You heard me?"
"1 was sitting on tho bench outside,
Peter."
"And, when you heard me you put tho
caudles out?"
"They oeemed so very bright, Peter."
"And nhut the door?"
"I only Jul closed It, Peter." Sho wns
Btlll wrapped In her clk, as she had
been when I first Baw her, wherefore I put
buck the hood from her face. And be
holdl ns I did so, her hair fell down,
rippling over my arm, nnd covering us
both In Its splendor, as It had done onco
before.
"Indeed you havo glorious hair!" said
I. "It seems wonderful to think that you
aro my wife. I can scarcely believe It
even yet!"
"Why, I had meant you should marry
mo from tho first, Peter."
"Had you?"
"Do you think I should ever hove come
back to this dear solitude otherwise?"
Now, when I would have kissed her, she
turned her head aside.
"Peter."
"Yes, Charmlan?"
"The Lady Sophia Sefton never old
gallop her horse up tho steps of St. Paul's
Cathedral."
"Didn't she. Charmlan?"
"And she couldn't help her name being
bandied from mouth to mouth, or 'hic
coughed out over slopping wineglasses,'
could she?"
"No," said I frowning; "what a young
fool I was!"
"And, Peter"
"Well, Charmlan?"
"Sho never was and never will be
buxom, or strapping will she? 'buxom
Is such a hateful word, Peterl And you
love her? wait, Peter aa. much as eycr
you loved Charmlan Brown?"
"Yes," said I; "yes"
"And nearly as much as your dream
woman?"
"More much more, because you are the
embodiment of all my dreams you always
