TERPSICHORE'S LURE
Evangelist Will Devote Final
Week to Attacks on
Dance Evil
ATLANTIC CITY, Feb IE Having
driven half tho saloonlsts In town under
cover, and forced cabaret keepers to put
on vaudevillo shows In an attempt to drum
up business, Evangelist Stough Is going
to see what ho can do to tho danco during
the extra week for which tho city clergy
has billed him at the Massachusetts ave
nue tabernacle,
Stough's campaign managers declare ho
will go after "tho light fantastic," ham
mer and tongs. His vehement attack upon
tho harmless little Saturday night two
step nesalons of high school students
chaperoned by faculty members, which
caused church-going parents to "put their
foot down emphatically," upon that form
of diversion, was tame. It Is stated, com
pared to what is coming
When the strenuous soul-saver has dis
posed of Boardwalk danco halls he Is
going to apply heroic treatment to the
cabaret shows. One of these last night
staged a "grand St. Valentino revue"
that was "some frolic" from all accounts.
Patrons were bidden to "while away tho
hours in play," nnd It Is town talk today
that they obeyed Instructions to tho limit.
Another Boardwalk cabaret supplied
souvenir coupons for live turkeys to all
who turned out for a free show of 10
acts.
Prior to the arrival of "Tho Two Vir
tues" nt tho Adclphl last night word got
round somehow or other that Alfred
Sutio's latest wns a thesis play, or at
nny rato n thesis comrdv It wns gener
ally supposed that eSf tho two virtues,
charity and chastity, Mr Stltro lot his
hero stick to tho old illctmn nliout tho
greatest of these Mora than that, his
hero wns supposed to cnll on ono of
"them," nnd Instead of metely Inducing
her to glvo up the husband of a former
swrothenrt, to end bv marrying the de
lightful creature himself. And not because-
she was "fnsclnntlug In her odious,
llleeltlnuite way." Which Is a good deal
of a thesis for tho liritlsh comedy of
Htitrei Chambers, MnURbnin, Dsvlcs ct nl.
And with Hint Idea wandeilng through
a critic's hencl. It was natural enough to
cepect a pretty poor plot, prrttv poor
roinci.lv nnd a gcnernliv tlrcsnmo even
ing Not hecnusc a thesis is n lioro far
from It. But n thesis has n vvny of show
ing up the nrtlflclal silliness of English
comedy writers who wnnder after It out
of their depth. Tl.ully handled ns It usu
ally is. tho thesis Is fascinating by com
parison with Its play.
And now you r.m sec why It wns a two
odged stirprlso to fl id that there wasn't
nnv thesis nt nil. The lady liegnn with
dulto an interesting reputation, but before
tho evening was over Mr. Sutro had dis
infected It so thoroughly that It wns n
little hard to lindcistnud just why th
hero's sister kept on lodging necusntlons
nnd Just vvhv tho Inclv thought thm
serious enough to trv to sever all ron
nectlons with him. Hut, of course, If they
hadn't kept It up there couldn't hnvo been
n four'h act or oven threo of them
In spite of tho ccess of formnldelivdo.
tho surprise of no thesis was compensated
for by what was, on tho whole, an amus
ing comedv. It wns especially amusing
when Hnldcc Wright wns adding her
capital comedy volco and her oven mom
amusing shadings to tho really delightful
part of tho hero's sister And AIpmukIii
Carlisle's eternal ability for bits of
pathos as well as arch hlgh-comcdy must
not ho forgotten
Under ordinary circumstances the vir
tues of Mr. Sutro's comedy might have
been added to by tho typical "literary
man" hero that ho gavo It. Tho species
Is sure lire nowndnvs. What 11 rhanco
he gives tho cultured playwright to get
off his intellectual playfulness! No mat
ter what his specialty Is even If ho
writes histories of historians, as did the
present specimen he Is Just chock full of
clever llttlo artificialities about tho most
serious dramatic crises. Ho Is never
serious for a moment. Sophistication puts
on the mask of Silly Ass and says all tho
very smartest things that nobody but a
playwright would over think of It Isn't
ical charactcilzatlon, of couise, but It
does produce tho "dearest, quaintest, most
cxnulslto creature" und a goodly bunch
of laughs
Tho only trouulo with tho literary Smart
Alec of 'Tho Two Virtues" was that E
H. Sothern played him In every vein but
tho tight one. the vein which tho hero
recognizes himself when ho says, "I'm
eccentric and like to havo people think
I'm a fool " Mr. Sothern .played his clev
erlsms so seriously, unconsciously and
slowly that tho gay court fool of tho in
tellectual life turned into something much
nejier tho malapropos Idiot of tho country
village. And every now and then ho
burst into a heavy forced vlolenco Just as
out of k. ing with tho part.
All In all In his "farowcll" production
of modern comedy, Mr Sothern gavo an
excollont selection from his familiar
Shakespearean repertory, llo did his
Petruclilo-stuft for the violent comedy, and
his Jacques-stuff for tho sentiment. For
getting entirely his moro appropriate
Bcncdlc-K ho gavo tho chlpperest lines In
the Macbeth manner. And he measured
It all out In tho slow and arbitrarily ac
cented fashlin that we used to think was
Mich good reading of blank ver.se. Now
wo know better It's plaj -acting
K. M.
Vaudevillo has Its stars thnt shine, nnd

shines nnd stats. He was tho first mng-

One touch of nnturo Is supposed to mako
tho whole world kin, so what must bo tho
power of n set of twins!
This momentous question was evolved
within the fcrtllo brnln of Georgo Broad
hurst, until quite suddenly "The Law of
tho Land" sprang full-llcdgcd, like
Athena, from a master's brow. Inci
dentally "The Law of thq Lind" Is play
ing nt tho Walnut this week.
The formula cmploved by Mr. Brond
liuist in this mot thrilling of his inelo
dranins Is that" tlio advent of twins Into
tho life of a police Inspector can so mel
low him thnt ho will not only let n mur
deress go frco (tho effect of tho first
ivvlni, but will put Into tho gulltv one's
mouth, at thn time of tlio Investigation,
words fleeing her of all blnmo (tho effect
of tho second twin) And so. In bo fur ns
there wero no witnesses to the crime, the
C'oioner is notlllcd that tho wholo nffali
tho death, by shooting, of a cruel hus
band w as nccldcntnl.
Mis Harding (Adelaldo French) meets
and falls In lovo with GcolTrey Morton
(John Glado) after her husband's vlclous
ness (Philip I'hllbln) has killed all hor
devotion. But sho remains with him for
tlio fcako of their child, Bennlo (Mary L,
cigiio;:!). uovvevcr, in tlio first act.
Sho made her appearance In truly Orl
entnl fashion nnd after offering some
haunting melodies from Japan, quickly
Americanized her net with up-to-thc-mln
tilo songs. Incidentally, Miss Sen Met
proved herself to bo a mimic of excep

hero last night, Dr. Mllford II. Lyon an
nounced to an audlenca of E000 assembled
in the tabernacle that he would tonight
present a plan to make Wilmington
"dry."
Tho evangelist refused to discuss his
plan or to gfve the slightest Inkling of
lta details; hence much interest Is felt In
his announcement. Doctor Lyon nlso
called lost Inght for 1000 more converts to
round out his seven weeks' campaign In
this city. Last night he got 63 "trail
hitters." The evangelist spoko with feeling of
the. meeting being tho last Monday eve
ning of the campaign. He urged activ
ities during tha week In prayer and per
sonal work and emphasized at length his
desire for 1000 more converts. He also
refuted the objection offered by some of
the clergy against the reflection which
they said was cast upon them when the
evangelist pleaded 'with church members
to coma down the aisles and consecrate
their souls to more efficient Christian
service. The evangelist stated that this
was a compliment to them rather than
8. redaction upon their work.

"The Law of tho Land," tho Gcoige
Iliotidhurst drama which had not hcrcto
foie been seen in Philadelphia until laat
night, had a stock piesentatlon nt tho
American as well ns production down
town by a traveling company. Whllo
this Is ono of Mr. Broadhurst'd most
theatrical plays In fact, ono along tho
lino of what umjcI to bo admired by tho
gallery god as thrilling melodiama It Is
very effective on account of tho ndrolt
wny in which the play w light has avoided
staglnes3. Tho talo Is ono of a murder.
A wlfo Is accused of tho death of a brutal
husband. Circumstantial evidence lles
tho crlmo on her Mie wins vindication
In tho course of an absorbing plot light
ened with humor.
K If. Sothern, who last month an
nounced his Intention of lenvlng tho stago
and going to England to live at the end
of tho present theatrical seuson, has en
tered Into an agreement with tho Vita

Mr. Sothern Is now In this city playing
In tho Sutro comedy, "Tho Two Virtues,"
at the Adelphl.
Friends of tho nctor say ho has recently
spoken of an offer of $200,000 for him nnd
Julia Muilowe (Mrs. Sothern), who retired
from tho stago a year and n hnlf ago, lo
poso In Shakespearean roles for tho nims
It was also learned that the Vitagraph
Company began several days ago to pro

paign for Mr. Sothern In "David Gar
risk," and it was assumed this would be
his flrst picture "David GarriW wa
the last play In tho Sothern repertoire re
cently at the Booth Theatre here.
Thero is considerable speculation as to
whether Mr Sothern's entry into the
movies, ndded to the sale at auction last
week of costumes and other properties
used In his plays, meant tho actor needed
tho help of the movies to make his retire
ment in Kngland comfortable. But Inti

Mr. Sothern will probably bo seen in

Vaudeville
Keith's
The audlenco nt Keith's last night gave
Klslo Janls a hearty handshako nnd didn't
let go of her for fully half nn hour.
It was hor flrst nppearlnco In vaudovlllo
In many years. Sho has becomo a stan
dard star since sho frolicked at tho local
vaudovlllo houso before, but It has not
affected her equilibrium. Tho samo girl
ish sincerity which enabled her to climb
to stardom was very evident in her work
Sho didn't carry any fancy accompanist
Willi an International name along to
strike fancy attitudes whllo ho plnyed
Chaillo Schraedcr und the Keith Orehes
tia wero sufficient, and they proved cciunl
to t,ho occasion. Miss Janls woro a plain.
Huffy, green dress (at least It looked green
to us), such as a girl would wear to a
party.
And her act was a decided novelty. Sho
showed the ambitions of famous stars,
and characterized them fnlthfully. Sho
enng u topical song ns ftthel Barrymoro
would do it, and offoicd a war Bong us
sho believed It would bo done byJIadamo
Nazlmova. Then, hvv Itching her hair
around, sho becamo Frank Tlnncy for a
few moments'. It was. perhaps, tho best
Imitation In her selection. In quick suc
cession sho fihowed Georgo M. Cohan and
nddlo Toy In a talking act. A character
ization of Hnrrx Lauder In a lovo bcciio
followed.
Miss Janls then showed that sho had
lost nono of her grace as a dancer. In
a. speech of thanks she used faithful quo
tations of Lauretto Taylor.
Sho worked Just ns bird Inst night as
tlio artist who makes Iii3 debut In vaude
ville. Landless curtain calls attested to tho
appreciation of those present.
Constance and Ireno Farber In comedy
and songs , easily took second plnco on
tliei mil. Miio act nas tho punch of
"classiness" which should carry It through
at nil times.
Joseph II Bernard nnd company ap
peared In a sketch called "Who Is ShoT'
written by WHlard Mack. It concerned
the troubles of a couplo who quarreled
and mado up alternately, with tho evi
dent Intention of getting laughs. And
the laughs came, It is true. The sketch
was well acted.) but It Is very evident that
Mr. Mack must havo written It tn a
hurry.
The exhibition of Beauty nnd Art pre
sented by Ileurietto Do Serrls is undoubt
edly one of the best posing nets ever seen
here It adds a new message In art lines.
Ofher good acts wero presented by Jed
and Kthel Dooley, Kramer and Morton,
Charles Olcott, Harris and Manlon and
Lohse and Sterling.
President and Mrs. Wilson wero shown
among the Sellg-Tribune motion pictures
which preceded the vaudeville.
NIXON-GRAND.
Lady Sen Mel, a dainty Japanese
American comedienne, was the arttstto
treat of tho show at the Nixon Grand.
