PRACTICAL mi:ans OF SAVINO.
Mr. Waterman states that he has had
practical and Intensely IntercstlnR dem
onstration of several thousand persons
saving a substantial sum, many of whom
never saved nnsthliiR beforo In their
t 1" "e ,ajs "Ul' a R001'' proportion
0Mese have opened resular savlnRs cc
tounts with part of their Christmas sav
ings to later open a check account. Sev
eral savliiKs fund depositors have con
sistently deposited their Christmas sav
jnss In a regular savlnRs account for the
full three sears the fund has been In
operation. One of these depositors who
aas added according to his ability to the
specified yearly Christmas fund, says Mr.
waterman, is directly responsible for
"Owing him how easy It wns to start a
rainy day account" that will amount to
tJ"? 8ub"ntlul sum in his old age.
U depositor never saved a dollar be
fore in his life.
In some Instances some of the banks
wno receive Chrlstmns savings accept
li v 'Iasses than 50 cents per week, but

IJy Photoplay Editor
In bvRone dns when "Ilnby Mine" wns
tho spiciest bit of that season's theatri
cal fare and "Seven DnyB" was still n
Blowing memory of risque situations con
cernlnc borrowed wives nnd children, the
public thought cither ono or the other
quite shocking by Itself. Todny wo havo
tho pleasure, Improper possibly, of wit
nessing ono poor man borrow for a day
both wife and child, to appease a rich
undo from whom he wishes to get his
allowance plus extras nnd whom ho hnd
led to believe ho was married. Such Is
the situation In "Jnne," tho new Para
mount film by' Oliver Morosco Company,
released Monday,
To aid tho humor of tho situation, be
sides linvliiK to pnss off the maid, Jane,
who really Is tho bride of the houseman,
as his wife, the hero must needs Ret him
a child, with the result that a kidnapping
accusation hangs over his head like Da
moclis' sword. Add to this nmuslng nnd
disconcerting situation one hysterical old
inn Id in love with our hero, his sweet
heart, her Irate father and Incidentally
n bill collector, and the Ingicillents of a
very nlco comedy arc present. The han
dling of them Is well done ns regards
plot nnd resolution ot It. The cast Is
ono skilled In farce comedy, especially
Charlotte Greenwood as Jane and Sidney
lira at ns the butler. Charlotte Oieen
wood's ability to look like on empty
house, "nobody home, nor ever nnd been,
nor ever would be," Is most amusing,
while her awkwardness Is worthy of May
Vokcs. Clrnnt, ns the poor, lll-treatul
butler, who Is tho butt of evctythlng, nn
nppcar more downtrodden nnd 111 treated
than any screen actor except the Inlml

Up at tho Institute ever) body Is very
much excited. Knthrync's party will bo

anticipation has t promt until even tho
teachers have caught It.
Kathrjne bus been In the Mount Airy
Institution for seven )cnrs now. IJach
year sho has grown better In mind and
body, until she has become the pride of
the Stntc which provides for her. "The
second Helen Keller," they call her every
where. When she llrst went to Mount
Airy she couldn't utter n sjllnblc. Now
her vvouls ling out 111 perfect clearness,
and the marvel of It is that she does not
know how any word should sound, for she
Is completely deaf In Middles, which do
not reipilre tho uco of the voice or sight

Is remarkably proficient, nnd farther
along thnu the ordinary 10-j ear-old pupil.

The show with the danger signal for ft
title nnd Gaby Dcsljs ns starred attrac
tion opened nt the Torrest last night.
Charles Dillingham "presented" a musical
comedy which Is destined to follow "Chln
Chln" In New Tork, nnd which will prob
ably follow that success closvty tn respect
to popularity A pleasant tlmo wns had
bv nil
Mnn wants but a little of ever) thing In
a musical comedy, and wnnts thnt little
good Ho (nnd Ida wife) care not much
about logical order, and care less for all
the things which critics gcncrnlly assumo
a musical comedy should have In "Stop!
1.00k' Listen'" tho batting average of
good things Is about .970, which Is con
slde'nble llut the thine? nrc so Jumbled
up that It takes an hour or two to sort
them. In general there arc the music,
which Is by Irving Iterlln, nnd the book,
which Is bad, nnd tho stars, and the
stunts, nnd tho stago management, and
tho scenery.
To stnrt In reverse, the scenery Is cred
ited to Itobert McQulnti, unknown to
fame. It Is scenery of such surpassing
beauty, such wonderful effects, that wild
guesses were made last night as to who
had painted It. It Is just what Joseph
Urban would do It he vorked In thai sim
ple, discreet, quiet manner. The splurge
of purple-blue In the Hawaiian set, tho
marvelous sunlight and clouds nnd trees
In "At tho Farm" (built by Homer Unions,
who Is a genius) and tho llcry checker
board In tho llunl scene (by tho tamo
hntid) nro merely tho highlights of n
scries of most notable sets. The costumes,
mnny with the assistance ot Helen Dry
tln, who must have had much to do with
tho totul visual effect, are all In good
tnste, nnd mnny nchlcvo the next to Im
posslblo In costuming, freshness and
originality. So tho show Is a pleasant
thing tn look nt.
Ilefore this glowing and magnificent
decoration there pass, from time to tlmo,
a number of the most admirable of musi
cal comedy stars. It was the most ex
ti aordlnary thing that ns scmo melted
Into scene different sets of diameters
kccmctl to dominate tho whole perform
ance. Plrst (that Is, after the chorus and
the settings were sulllclcntly ndmlred)
l'rnnk I.alor began the fun with n drol
ler) mid economical manner thnt lasted
well to tho end. llojle nnd Dixon en
tiled, but their time had not yet como.
(taby herself and Harry Pox took a turn
at leading, hut they too, were being
snved up. Joseph Snntley danced nnd
s.ang, and his "Girl on tho Magazine
Covvr" was tho llrst smashing hit, at
tended as It was by some of the cos
tumes mentioned before. Sunshine and
Tempest, not properly taken enro of In
tho nllotmriit of characters, took tho out
side, nnd held It until Marlon Hnrrls
hlepped In from nowhere and with
two numbers, the second with sK plnnoa
rfiid n gorgeous nrrangement of girls and
dirssrs, "broke up the show " That ended
the llrst act of what secmid u very beau
tifully finished musical comedy.
'the real punch comes later Nothing
so overwhelming ns tho suececs of Do)le
nnd Dlton In three separate character
dances has been seen here in months
Th'M nro perfect pei formnnces, with good
business nnd nn ability and grace far
bivond tho ordlnar). The second nit wns
thelts bv right of conmi"st. Then the fun
ennn thick, a sllghtk risque song, nnd a
roaring "ragtime burlesque," In which
Hurry Fo returned to his own, with
C.nby as his partner, Mr. Snntley was
given better opportunity, and his own

Other CometUe and V
cing were eminently effective. Finally,
tho third act, with a patriotlo play front
James Barrle, more suitable to London
than to neutral provinces, n, fine sextette
with the name of tho pleco explained,
nnd an absurd Parisian dance, ftt tho end
of which the dreadful Harry nicer, who
had been mercifully absent from most of
tho show, took a fall which puts him In
tho movie class.
That leaves Irving Berlin nn an un
mcntloned star. His muslo deserved and
probably wilt receive separate treatment.
It Is enough to say that although his
best ground Is not musical comedy he Is
essentially capable of doing one thing,
ragtime, superbly well his score Is a good
one. It Isn't hnlf blaring or "brash"
enough, nnd he has worked syncopation
a llttlo too hard. But In the "Hula
Hula" ho has adapted himself with con
siderable skill, his "Ragtime. Melodrama"
Is shrewd In workmanship and nil tho
tunes arc pleasant to hear.
All theso things and peoplo (and to
tell tho truth, a great many others) rught
to bo mentioned out of simple fairness to
the makers of a thoroughly enjoyable
evening. Mr, Uurnslde, who exercised
considerable taste, discretion and Ingenu
ity In staging the piece, and Mr. Dilling
ham, who produced It, shore In the honors
of all. But no cntalogticlng of distinct
virtues can account for the overwhelm
ing effect of gaiety, beauty nnd fan
tastic excitement which hung over the
Forrest..
It wns truly remarkable, for there was
hardly a laugh In the lines, and the top
ical nlluslons were few nhd scant. Tho
mingling of some 3) stars, many out of
vaudeville, Is frequently not ft success.
It Bccmed nt first that tho lack of dis
tinct pcrsonnllty would ruin this play.
But In the two later nets tho thing was
held together by a, grand good humor,
by something nkln to pride In doing a
work ever bo well nnd by tho general
Irresponsible bubbling over of capabts
people.
Gaby's clothes, many nnd startling nncl
beautiful, mnttcr very little. Except when
sho Is dancing with Joseph Sanlloy or
fooling with Harry Tox, Gaby matters
very llttlo herself. Mono of tho Individ
uals matter exceptionally, because every
one takes his part In n finished produc
tion. Thcro Is no cheap pushing of any
particular stunt. The pruning process
will cut the performance down from Its
abnormal length, but nothing will tnka
nvvay the good cheer, tho chlo nlr, tho
pleasant, sprightly, entirely gay nnd friv
olous atmosphere which make tho play
a Jo)ous occasion In Philadelphia.
