"When financial ruin stnres us In the
fe, few of us arc brnve. Hut let us
hot that none of us would bo tho coward
that Harry Orey, millionaire banker.
Jirrived himself when Ills Trash came.
In "Tho Code of Marcla Grey." the now
Morosco-Paramount release which will be
shown the rest of this week at tho Stan
ley Theatre, one sees a man of seemingly
strong pharacter, revealed In his true
light, by" financial reverses, due to. his own
criminal actions. Ho shows that ho Is a
coward nnd a crook at heart. Harried
to a woman of exceptional strength of
Character, he Is forced by her to face tho
crisis. Her Jovo bears him up Until he Is
released from prison. Then ho becomes
insanely Jealous of the only human who
has stood by him In his trouble. His ac
cusations nre so Infamous that his wife
leaves Jib. Ho Is Jumping bnll by run
ning away to South America when he Is
killed by oho of tho men ho ruined by his
financial Jugglery.
Tho story Is a straight forward, power
ful one, full of action and thrilling In Its
development.
Constance Collier, who plays tho role
of tho wife. Is developing ns a screen net-
ress. Sho Is still a little uncertain or ncr
gesturos,' a thing ono nover noticed In her
work on tho stage, but notwithstanding
this she is convincing and artistic Her
facial Axnrenalona. whllo not beautiful.
are always eloquent nnd Interesting. Sho
can run the wholo rango of emotions by
facial expression alone. Her conception
of this part Is quiet, dignified nnd quite
to the manner born.
Henry Do Vcro as Harry Grey brings
out the Craven cowardice of tho part won
derfully. Ho rapidly- wins for hla wlfo
the sympathy of tho audience, while ho
gets himself hated with Just as com
mendable rapidity.
The photography Is clear. Tho settings
of tho millionaire's homo are richly luxuri
ous and oxtra.vaR.int, yet In such perfect
lasto that there Is nothing ostentatious or
cheap about them, a thing most unusual
In the average photoplay.
The murder i of Grey at tho end Is a ter
ribly harrowing scene.
Done in a decp-bluo light with a lack
background, tho Is awe Inspiring.
Bertha Knllch. tho new William Fox
ctar, hs plnycd speaking parts in six
different languages. New sho will be n
screen star nnd It won't make, any dif
ference what language she speaks.

DOUBLE BILL GIVEN

Poplar Street
l'crhnps It Is because tho season Is
waning nnd but two operatic perform
ances remain In tho regular season J per
haps It was due ui that Cnruso should
sIiir- and sob again S perhaps It wns a
matter of artistic necessity. At any
rate. It was n success and "It" refers to
the combination, In ono bill, of "Haenscl
und (Jrctel" and "I Pngllaccl." Tho
audlcnco wns of Caruso size, nnd It Is
to be hoped that a Brent number camo
to hear "Haenscl und Oretel"
Th.it opera, first bU'ch, Intruded In Its
cast no cstnbllshed star except tho Rood
Otto Gorltz, who looked like a drunken
T.nlrd and wns mightily pleasant to hear
with his chuckllne beery has1). Ml.
ciorltz, however, was a known quantity,
assumed and counted upon for good en
tertainment. The other niimcs. Mines.
Mason, Mattfeld, Ilobcson, Warrum and
Spnrkos nnd Mr, Ilelsa aro nowhere near
so familiar, and yet' It was upon them
that tho work devolved, nnd It wi" they
who mndo tho evonlnR so nlmost delirious
ly enjoyable. The amount of Rood slng
Inu ery nearly coincided with the nmount
of sliiRlns there wns to be done. Tho
heartiness nnd fantastic humors of tho
nctliiR were unlimited, and If Miss Mason
excelled In them It wns probably becnuio
her opportunities were Rreatcst. Hho
literally danced rlnRS arountl Mine. Matt
fold, who wns an nRrccnblc, If somewhat
InRRard, Haenscl nnd the nmount of
energy she could put Into her Irrespon
slblo plrouottlnifs nbout tho stage with
out prejudice to her singing was ex
traordinary. Her voice Is strong and
pleasing; In this optrn nt least the occa
sion for nuance Is restricted, but Miss
Mnson Rives precious little reason for
suspertlnn her ability to discriminate.
It was her evening nnd she made the
most of It.
Thoro wns actually somo Illusion In the
scones In the foresi, nnd, with lis cir
cumscribed sots and properties, tho Met
ropolitan did wonders. lint what stood
out after tho Hinging wns tho excellence
of the orchCBtru under Mr. Itlchnrd Hago
man. Mr. Hngcmnn himself scored the
distinction of actually making the audl
cnco shut up during the Intermezzo, nnd,
considering Mr. llodansky's fniluic to do
as much for the pivludo to "Tristan und
Isolde" n week ago, It Is nn. achievement.
The orchestra Is ono o" tho finest organ
izations given to periodical visits to this
city, nnd for whatever neglect they have
suffered before, In these report!! of oper
atic doings, let this bo recompense. Labor
ing with n steadiness of public perform
ance, under many different directors, nnd
with a variety of conditions unknown to
tho symphony orchestra, tho men of tho
Metropolitan's pit have, acquired an ad

the operna which would profit by having
tho curtain hailed down at tho start, but
even there the orchestra, save ample evi
dence of Its temper,
A Tonlo and a Neddn, new to Philadel
phia, were In Leoncavallo's hectic nnd
nlfcctlnsr melodrama, but In operatic mat
ters novelty seems to bo tho first among
coveted things. For there was a Canto,
who was not new tho Canlo over whom
we all watch nnd wonder, a little ghout
Ishly, whether his voice Is what It was
then. There wns n time, It Is Bald, when
Cnruso sang nt tho Academy, and seats
could be purchased ten minutes before
tho performance, nnd nt tho "box officio."
So let Mr. Caruso drink deep of his re
venge. If thero was an empty scat last
night the Fcalpers alono were fo blame.
And Heaven knows, they tried f hard
