11 Pays to Advertlso" ta ona of those
things they can't do twice. First to Inst
It 1 a "trick play." It come of the
"Seven Iteys to Baldpate-"On Trial"
family fathered, we had almost said, by
Cohan & Harris, until we remembered
that one Bhaw sprung- the breed on tn
with "Fanny's First Play" and Arthur
Hopkins followed with "The Poor Little
Rich Girl."
The typo develops some "Idea" or
"stunt" which nobody has tried before
and the mora It goes against the canons
6f stagecraft tho better. We listen to
critics surrounding; a little Shavian deviled
ham with the bread of yeasty discourse.
Tvo follow three acts of mock melodrama
wth a delicious sense of the danger of
Its unreality, only to And out In the end
that it was a novelist's joke which we
almost took seriously. We listen to yards
of delightful dream-nonsense with no sort
of a plot at all. Wo plough backward
through 13 years of tho most common
place crimes Imaginable nnd find It a per
fectly fascinating job. Not one of tho
plays could have "got oer" on Us merits
aside from the "stunt." Not one of tho
stunts can bo done again. And thero you
are. '
Or rather, hero you are with a now
' "trick play" thnt makes a whole evening's
hearty entertainment out of tho hitherto
, tmexplolted field of advertising.
There's no denying that you laugh
heartily over the adventures of a soap
king's son who goes Into the business of
making a trado mark Instead of a soap
and of selling It to his father. There's
no denying you get a pleasant, blase,
Satevepost feeling out of hearing nil the
money tho big buyers of advertising spend
Jn persuading their patrons to help them
iay for It There's no denying that you
get a good deal of amusement out of tho
, half dozen scenes of conventional drama
angry parent, heartless fiancee, girl
crook's confession, etc. which turn out to
bo trie fake "stago stuff" Instead of tho
genuine article.
But there's just as llttlo chanco of de
nying that you wouldn't laugh over the
rather obvious "Wullingfords" pulled off
by the Inventor of "13 Soap, Unlucky for
Dirt," If It wasn't for the advertising
talk: that you will nover listen to nn
other play on the same subject, nnd that
If many more playwrights fool you about
their ','fako" efforts that you tako seri
ously, you'll stop taking tholr genuine ef
forts humorously.
So far this Is an attempt to understand
the enjoyment of 97 per cent of n largo
audience which was saluted with samples
of a well-advertised tooth pasto In tho
lobby, a delegation of Poor Richards In
the auditorium, and the novel legend,
"Curtain 8:13," on tho program. We ad
mit the entertainment that most every
body got out of tho soap which was
bought from tho "Trust" for three cents,
advertised with words, "The average
cake ofsoap gives you S5 washes. A cake
of 13 Soap gives you only 18. Dut what
washes!" and sold to Glmbol's publlo for
one dollar. But this reviewer must also
record the opinion of the prominent, suc
cessful and altogether enlightened adver
tising writer who accompanied him last
night.
And the verdict of tho expert agrees
With tho verdict of Judge Brack when
Ucdda Gabler committed suicide, "People
don't doi such things." His more exact
words were. "It'w a travesty on a great
science." He failed somehow to swallow
that 3a.il bit of finance. He didn't be
lieve, with the "broke" press agent who li
the principal prophet of advertising, that
"37 per cenL of tho peoplo are sheep and
you can get them all by advertising." He
doesn't think that shouting Is what counts.
H? doesn't hold thnt plain and fancy lying
Is either good business or good advertising.
In fact, he doesn't think that the play
wrights know any more about his "shop"
.than they know about any other. Includ
Ing their own.
And, of course, the expert advertising
Tvrlter can't take tho whole thing as a
good Joke on his life-work. Any more
than the reviewer can find out where the
"good" part of the Joke comes In, outside
tho fact that nobody has tried the trick
before. Hence, this double-barreled, com
plex and crank-sided explanation of a
very slmpto and obvious entertainment.
K. M
P. a AH of the cast did their best to
prove that It pays to advertise them
on the billboards. They Interfered
With no laughs, and they put a good
many In that weren't In the dialog. A
great deal might be written about the ab
solutely opposite methods of Grant
Mitchell and Will Demlng, players of the
principal characters; about the former's
knack of staying completely "In the nlc-
ture" while "putting- over'a very broad
comic version of naivete, and the tatter's
ingratiating and delightful manner of for
getting all about hla fellow-characters,
and Of acting almost everything clear out
n tho audience's laps. But enough of
subtleties. They have no part in the
"ad. art" of Messrs. Megrue and Haekett
RfifGIING UP FATHER"
AT THE WALNUT AGAIN
Familiar Cartoon Comedy Returns to
Philadelphia
Last night the Walnut brought up
once more the critical question of the
merits of "Bringing Up Father." Un
doubtedly the decision Is best left to
the audience. If you have any doubt of
Just what that was, the easiest way la
to drop In any night, Tuesday, Thurs
day or Saturady afternoon, or even In
the early P. M. portion of Friday, which
Manager Strakosch. at the earliest soli
citation of that fraternal patriot, Mr.
Jlffsni, has set apart for a St. Patrick's
day matinee.
Cartoon comedy Is apparently surer
ef a publlo these days in the popular
riced houses than any other form of
-Statical, comedy. And to the self-ad-
vertlsing abilities of 'Mutt and Jeff"
and, ''Bringing Up Father." Producer
Gus Hilt, wb is an old hand at the
game, has added year after year, con
stant revision and renovation. Every
season there Is some novel angle to
line. raUsip or business. It pays.
Of course, there axe good old bits that
cling. Although pater has been under his
course of Instruction elnce 1914. he still
clings to his hobby of "rushing the
erowler" in the same old utensils as be
fore. And hla efforts still result Jn much
laucBter from the crowded auditorium.

LILLIAN RUSSELL IS
GREAT HIT AT KEITH'S
Former Comic Opera Star Do
lights Listeners With
Past Song Hits
"If you don't notlco tlmo as It passes
by, tlmo will not notice you."
Such was tho ndvlco glon last night
by Lllllnn nusscll, nt Keith's. She Is a
living example of the good results which
may bo obtained by following this plan.
As oxDort press airents and managers ex
hausted tho choicest adjectives romo tlmo
ngo In describing Miss llussell, tho best
thing that one can say In explaining her
radiating presence is thnt Lillian llussell
Is Lillian Russell
Sho was given n most cordlnl welcome
and proved that pho deserted It- After
singing half a dozen of her own favorlto
songs, the former comic opera star had
a confidential chat with thoso present
Miss Russell explained that sho was not
making a farewell tour, but was simply
appearing In vaudeville to pass the time
away.
In the Fame breath sho admitted that
a 90-year-old man stopped her on the
street to remind her thnt he inert to go to
school with her. It appears that the man
was slightly in error, but Miss Russell did
not contradict him. She related some in
teresting facts concerning aids to beauty
and proved, incidentally, that sho is
equipped any tlmo to make a living ns n
raconteur. Among other songs, she wing
"My Heart," "When Chloc Sings a Song,"
"Philosophy," "A Llttlo Irish Girl," "My
Evening Star" and "Until " That charm
ing grace which made her famous In tho
days of the casino successes on Broad
way was evident In the rendition of each
number.
Miss Russell wore a Wonderful gown of
cloth of silver, crowned with filmy chiffon
and b.uddcd with gems. Sho was com
pelled to respond to many encores.
Much credit is also duo to. Mr. Frank
Waller, who outdated at the pfano.
One was reminded very emphatically
of springtlmo when Marion Morgan's
classlo art dancers nrrhed. They were a
sextet of agllo girls plus Miss Morgan.
A. number of distinctly novel dancers
were presented nnd greatly enjoyed If
hearty applause Is a barometer. It Is prob
able that the costumes were historically
correct, but why does art In tho land of
Terplschore always means bare feet nnd
bare knees?
Harry Tlgho and Sylvia Jackson
frolicked about with songs nnd sayings
with very good results.
Lyons and Yosco proved that they are
entitled to the palm for tho best musical
act In vaudeville.
Mabelle Sherman and Arthur Uttry,
first time here, deserve to come again,
for they 'Vent over" In good Btyle with
much appreciation.
There were several other good acts on
tho bill. Including Paul Gordon and Anno
,Rlca, Chief Canpollcan, the Indian singer ;
Fred J. Ardath and company. In a com
edy Bketch, and the Three Floods, hurri
cane acrobats. J. G. C.
Paul Conchas Colonial
Amazing feats of strength were per
formed by Paul Conchas, the German
military strong man, who Is tho feature
of the bill at the Colonial.
The Six Klrksmlth Sisters presented
a pleasing musical act which was re
warded with much applause. Other good
acts Included John P. Wade and Company
in "Marso Shelby's Chicken Dinner,"
Eddie Foyer, McCabe Levee and I'ond,
Lorraine and Cameron, Dally Brothers,
Smith and James and Gillettl's Monkeys.
Fishing at Nixon
What Is termed the most amusing skit
in vaudeville, that presented by Harry
Tate describing the vicissitudes of fishing
with all the troubles that a fisherman may
confidently expect, features the bill this
week at the Nixon. Tho act Is similar
In the central Idea to that presented by
Mr. Tate on motoring, and provoked
laughs from beginning to end.
Other acts on the bill are the Ponzello
SlBters, the Ten Imperial Japs, a troupe
that are more than ordinarily clever ; Lor
raine and Cameron, the Speed Boys, Lloyd
and Whltehouse, Juliette and the first
episode In the film masterpiece "The Girl
and the Game."
Cabaret at Globe
"The Sidewalk Cabaret," a sketch In
which a well-known local comedian,
Joseph Watson, Is the central figure, Is
the headllner on the bill this week at the
Olobe. As might be expected, the scene Is
a cabaret transplanted from the usual In
door circus ring, but the laughs in the
usual cabaret would fall flat In a com
petition with one in which Watson pleases.
O'Connor and Corbln present "On the
River Front" Other acts on the bill are
Gllmore and company. Tabar and Green,
Bennett Sisters, Holden and Graham,
Kubellck and Falls and Falls.
Una Clayton Nixon Grand
A clever playlet, "Collusion," starring
Una Clayton, heads a good bill at Nixon's
Grand Opera House this week. Fred and
Adele Astalre, youthful performers, sang
and danced well, while Santley and Mor
ton performed at the piano and sang.
Jack Lewis, a comedian ; Parish and Bern,
acrobats, who punctuated their work with
parody, and a scientific demonstration of
The Wonder Kettle" completed the bill.
In the Trenches Cross Keys
There is an abundance of action and.
comedy In the playlet "In the Trenches,"
which headlines the bill at the Cross
Keys. It )s presented by Benton and
Company, and was well received.
Entertalninc acts were also presented
by ford and Truly, Fennlroore Cooper,
Towns and Company, in the sketch,
"Spilling; the Beans," BUUy Morse, The
Three Southern Girls and Billy Weston.

PENNYPACKER OPPOSED
IN HISTORICAL SOCIETY
His Pro-German Views Rouse
Much Objection to His Re
election as President
Wnr, which mnltcs history, Is making
history for tho Historical Society of Penn
sylvania. Tho 2000 members of tho society nro
lining up today for nnd against the presi
dent of tho society, former Governor
Samuel W. Pennypacker, who, for tho
first tlmo In 15 years. Is encountering
serious opposition to his presidency.
Factional lines In tho society have been
drawn by sympathizers of tho Allies, who
object to the pro-German utterances of
Mr. Pennypacker, who Is now Public
Service Commissioner. Tho opposition to
tho president broke out in open revolt
last night, when S Davis Pago, former
law partner of Mr Pennypacker and a
member of the society for 30 years, was
nominated for president of tho society.
The opposition Ilnrlng out on a date re
garded as significant, March 13, came as
a surprise to Mr. Pennypackcr's sup
porturs. v.lio had prepared the annual
slate, headed, as usual, by Mr. Penny
packer's name.
Friends of the Public Service Commis
sioner declared today that ho would
probably withdraw his name from nomi
nation. Tho election will bo held Mon
day, May 8, between -1 nnd B o'clock.
There was no opposition to tho other
candidates selected by the nominating
committee.
Objection to Mr. Pennypackcr's regime,
which was capped by the open rebellion,
uas caused In the first place. It was Bald,
by obsolete voting methods and the uso
of 1800 ery old proxies by the "or
ganization." The meeting last night was
presided over by Charlemagno Tower,
vice president of the society and former
Ambassador to Germany.

LITTLE MEENA'S ROMANCE." a Trlanitle
Fine Arts production In nv part, featuring
Dorothy Ulsh and Owen Moore.
Why nre the Triangle Flno Arts photo
plays unique even in this day of artlatio
production by many movie companies?
SInny peoplehavo wondered oyer It. Some
M..I.IA Bitrn If tin In nnA word,
They neem to feel thnt Mr. Qrlfflth can In-
1 fuse his genius Into any ploture which h
produced by a company with which he is
connectcu. inai is not true. . .
Mr. Orimth personally directs Is sure to
be unlauennd artlstla IJut what about
the other Flno Arts pictures which Mr.
Orimth docs not direct or supervise?
These, too, nre unique.
The nnswer is two-fold. When you find
a company which uses nothing but unusual
stories nnd then films tlicm with nothing
but photoplay actors of artlstlo ability, the
production Is suro to be unique. That Is
what the Flno Arts company does.
And such n film Is "Llttlo Meena's no
mance," In which Dorothy 01sh nnd Owon
Mooro nro featured. This story, quaint,
delightful and sparkllngly witty, makes
one feel almost as If one were meeting a
1'onnsyivnnia Dutch J. M. Bnrrle. Mcena
Is nothing so much ns a delightfully ener
getic edition of Grlzel. that ndorablo
Scotch lasslo of "Sentimental Tommy" dono
In a Dutch covering.
The story, laid nmld quaint old Penn
sylvania Dutch surroundings, tells of this
young girl, left an orpham nnd sent to
live with hor aunt In tho city. During
her father's life sho had met n young
count, who was masquerading ns a book
ngent, When sho reaches tho city she
again meets him nt her aunt's homo, whoro
ho Is courting her couBln. Sho lets him
think Bho Is a servant, whllo ho still
plays book agent. They continue to meet
nnd finally ho, unwilling to marry n
servant, yet loving tho girl, plans to fnke
an accident, which will put her In IiIb
power. Through n rather unusual In
cident ho realizes that, no matter who sho
Is, ho will not bring sorrow to her, nnd
marries her. Not until after tho cere
mony, when her relntlons swoop down on
them, do they realize that each has bcon
deceived by the other, and that neither
of them was what they pretended.
Dorothy Olsh Is clever, amusing nnd
Innocent ns Meena. Sho seems to have
quite ovcrcomo tho Olsh curso of nrm
wnvlng, so pronounced In her sister Lil
lian, nnd qulto notlccablo In hor own
early pictures. Sho Is so delightfully
awkward that ono recalls Mlzzl Ilajos In
"Sorl," nnd Elsie Alder In "Around tho
Map." They seem to have a close rival
in Miss dish.
Owen Moore Is a nlco looking, exceed
ingly well mannered, quiet count. Just
tho sort of n person to greatly pleaao one
In thnt role.
It is not tho Individual acting that
counts in these films of the Fine Arts
Pomnnnv. It Is the beautifully artlstlo
level of tho whole production. Detail of
costuming nnd scenery, clever lighting ef
fects, nnd finished nctlng mako "Little
Mccnn's Romanco" qulto as unique as all
the Flno Arts pictures.
