ADELE ROWLAND IS
BIG HIT AT KEITH'S
Karl Jorn,. Well-Known Tenor,
Also Scores on Bill of
All-Round Merit
It's not what you do, hut It's the way
you do It. Aileln llriwland has a way
about her. She Is different. She Is ord
inal. Kvery pour is n little playlet In It
self. She makes no attempt to concent
the words from the audience like many
slnRors. That's why rho made a very
emphatic Impression at Keith's Inst night.
Sho k;iib songs true tn life, each having
a reason, nnd justly deserved the applause
which followed.
Have Stamper was her accotnpnnlst and
nlded preatly In brliiRliiR out tho
"punches" with which Miss Kowland's
sotiRs were lilted.
Karl .Torn. I the International operatic
favorite, won the lovers of Rood music
with classical nnd popular selections. Ho
saiiR with Ricat casn of manner, as If
Ringing; were really a pleasure, and tho
Renernl result was highly gratifying. Many
encores rewarded him.
The violin selections of Itae Klennor
Hall were a treat tn tho ear. Shu reallr.es
that tho people generally do not want tho
complicated numbers, and offered a pro
gram which won most cordl.il npproval.
There aro many bright lines In the
sketch "The J.lttlo Shepherd of Ilargnln
Itow," presented by Sarah I'adden and
company. There Is n good moral In tho
story. JIlss. I'uddcii was supported by a
capable company and the act was well
received. Charlotte Tarry in "Into the
Light" repeated her former success. Hnrry
I.estcr Mason presented "the N'ow Jani
tor" all by himself. Ho discussed eu
genics, the war and other topics abreast
of tho times and won no end of laughs.
Ills act wim overflowing with wit nnd Is
a decided novelty.
Other nets Included Hunting and
Frances In a sprlngllku comedy, "i.ovo
Dlossoma." which was neat nnd witty ; tho
Toe Do Kos company In Oirllllng, juggling
stunts, nnd Adonis In "Tho Act licau
tiful." Tate's "Fishins" Nixon Grand
Thero was nn abundance of Inughs In
Harry Tates' well-know comedy, "Fish
ing." which was tho henilllner last evening
at tho Nixon rirand. The sketch won con
siderable applause. A singing and talking
act by l.nuia Hurrls and Charles Cart
mell was well received. I.ordys' dogs
mnde n hit with the youngsters. Other
uets which were well received Included
Ilrltt Wood, comedian, who had funny
stories and experiences to relate, Oraco
McOowan and Herbert Cordon, Baldwin,
Baxter anil Carter, comedians.
"In the Trenches" (Jlobe
Patriotism, comedy nnd music Is pro
portionately blended In tho show at tho
Globe. "A N'lght in the Trenches." show
ing tho Insldu details of n soldier's life.
Is tho feature. It is well btnged and pre
sented by a callable cast. Ford's "Danc
ing Kevue" nlso proved to bo an act of
exceptional merit.
Other acts on tho bill include tho Four
Haley Ollrls, Fenlmore, Cooper Towno nnd
company. Tllton. comedian; Bcltrah and
Bcltrah. In tho "Musical Ualry": Woods'
Animal Actors. Sullivan and I'asqulllna
and Jack George.
Tho pictures are timely and Interest
ing. Cabaret at Cross Keys
'The Sidewalk Cabaret." it tabloid full
of fun and music, delighted a big audience
nt tho Cross Keys. Tills net goes with
n dash anil surprises follow each other
In iulck succession.
The show generally Is one of tho best
of the season und Includes Fred Ilelden.
Bernard and Shaw. Solomon. Hilly
Itogers, Barney and lllt-hanl and Falls
and Falls.
Many good pictures precede tho show.
Opera at Colonial
Thero Is plenty of variety nn the bill
at the Colonial. The He I'aee Opera Com
pany, in selections of tho old masters,
carry the musical honors, nnd their act is
presented In an nrtlatlc manner.
Mlddleton and Spellmaler. In "A Texas
Wooing." won a good- bhare of applause
with their Interesting comedy offering.
Among others who pleased wero Wlllard.
"A Day at the Seashore," a clever tabloid;
Luhte and Sterling. I'aull nnd Boyle. Lew
Fitzglbbon, Three Alexanders, Tackard
nnd l'lerce.
Waltz Dream at Njxon
An ntmosphero of romance permeates
"Tho Wnltz PreairU.' the headline attrac
tion at the N'lxon. There ure any num
ber of good songs In tills catchy offering
and the costumes are fully abreast of the
times. Pretty girls. Incidentally, also help
in the hat making, flood acts were amo
offered by the Gallcrlnl Four, Jones and
Byl ester, Aurora of the Lights, Brown
and McCormlck and Jpe Rowland.
"SPENUTHIUFT" PLEASES
Current Attraction at Knickerbocker
Conveys Good Lesson
Wives and dJughters who are inclined
to be extravagant may learn an oppor-
n.nn lesson froinMhe current attraction
at the Knickerbocker, which is Porter
Umeraou Browne's "(Spendthrift," a stir
ring dramatUatlon of a tale of a butter
liy wife and an Industrious husband.
The play, which tells of the misfor
tune and distress that come as the re
sult of a wlftf's extravagance and thought
leesness Is a powerful one. and when
interpreted an It was last night by the
West Philadelphia Stock Cmopany It pro
vided a highly Interesting entertainment.
John Warner, the new leading man as
the plodding husband, was, very clever and
bhowed the result of careful study. Emily
Smiley as the wife who later repents was
also seen at her bent. Anna Doherty as
the slter and Earl Western as Monty
were both good. Ted Brackett was ef
fectlve as Suffern Thome, although he
appeared but once. Carrie Thatcher aa
the aunt was very effective.

Aet III (Irand reception ball ot tho
Princess palace.
The comic iiperu spotlight bloomed
again nt tho Broad Street Theatre last
night after a lapse which was estimated
at from three to nlno years. Beneath Its
glow many strange things nourished, but
none were more odd than tho delusions of
Andreas lllppol, Impresario.
Mr. IJippul had a long and honorable
connection with grand opera and possibly
from the promluenco which voices take In
that sphere ho has brought tho Idea that
good singing voices aro a necessity in
operetta. IIo had a hundred examples
of successful ventures to refute ills theory,
but lie persists In choosing a personnel
that can sing. Sometimes he worl:s in luck
and acquires a personable young woman
llko Kinmy Nlcklnss or a grncloua young
woman like I'hyllls Partington or an In
gratiating and affable young man llko
Geoigft Baldwin. Hven in his choruses Mr
Dlppel carries his principles nnd even
there fio can sometimes doublo nnd get
beauty as well as voices. Daintily dressed
young people, singing on the key, nro an
uncommon sight this sldo of Poplar street.
Add them to tho btars Just mentioned, to
Angela I.lppich (or AVIlllnm Bhodes) nnd
tho sturdy workers for comic nnd other
effects and you havo Mr. Dippers idea of a
musical comedy cast.
Unfortunately the obsession for music
has carried tho producer too far. The
work of Leo Ascher In "Prinems Tra-La-La"
Is Interesting. It has melodies
which nro pleasing, but not over-catchy.
and the orchestration is notably deft, h
neat as that In "Tho Peasant Girl" of
Nedbal. more than that of "Sari." Alas!
that It lacks the raclness and tho sheer
delight In melodious case of Hie latter,
for a successor It was certainly Intended to
hi. It is nothing of tho sort, because it
lacks character. Literally there is noth
ing In "I'rlncess Tra-La-La" except tho
music. We do not profess to understand
tho German and Hungarian racial genius,
but if the product of their writers of
librettos Is fairly represented hero then
tho Smith brothers havo the inventiveness
of all the peoplo mentioned by W. H. Gil
bert In the receipt for u Heavy Dragoon
plus the .abilities of W. S. Gilbert lilmtelf.
The "If" part Is in doubt, nnd tho con
clusion Is wrong. But It Is not half so
wrong us the book and the humors of
"Princess Tra-La-La."
Plot? It has two, neither consequent.
Tho fortunes of mi inn-keeper we could
tolerate. The Inisfortunes of a princess,
disguise, love with commoner, projected
marriage, ceremonial, "nay. this mockery
shall go no further" pah! Something
frankly artificial, yes, provided there Is
whimsicality or human credibility In It.
Something realistic, yes, provided there
aro artificial beauties. But this time worn
and ancient and disreputable work is
really beyond all toleration, not only bo
cause it is artificial and graceless, but
because It is dull. Incidentally the hu
morous situations are exactly as numer
ous as the plots, and are no; so well
handled,
If Mr. Dlppel, or nny other Impresario,
will take the trouble to look about him,
to employ a vestige of intelligence, aa Mr.
Dillingham employs It, for example, thero
is still a chance for him. A sublime In
telligence will remove all the Mory. A
lesser one will improve what there Is.
Should there be any doubts In this matter
the aforesaid Impresarios are cordially
invited to commqulcate with this office,
where everything from detail of dancing
to a complete plot Is ready. They may
not make money. But then, neither may
the "Princess Tra-La-La." G. V. S.
Music's Charm for All
Joseph Stransliy, conductor of the .New
York Philharmonic Orchestra, remarked
recently that there s now no reason why
the youths of the nation should grow up
without the influence of good music.
A generation ago It would have been
difficult to bring up all young persons, in
the atmosphere of music. Now this Is
made possible by the advent of the
grafonola. The grafonola made It possible
for every home to have Its own orches
tra, vaudeville program and vocal and
Instrumental galaxy of artiste. The April
list of Coloumbia records Includes xylo
phone and hU olos by Howard Kopp,
with band and orchestra accompaniments.

The Minister llrorge 1'earce
iioiei LitrK l'orter Mlroni!
When one starts to produce Mima which
deal with tho moral weakticsaea of man
kind, ho Is apt to hnvo n run-in with tho
Hoard of Censors. Tho coimcim do not ap
prove of Illegitimate children. Neither do
wc, but when this delicate tiucstloii Im ho
discreetly treated, ns It Is In "Mnrthn'n
Vindication," It Is hoped that the censors
will forget their disapproval.
In this delightful Kine Alts picture,
Martha's best frlond, Dorothea, loes not
wisely but too well. To help her. Martha
tnkes her oft to the country for n long
visit, nnd whoti tho baby arrives takes
the child to her old nurse. White taking
the Infant to Its future home shn Is seen
with tho baby by nn old scoundrel, Kail
Hawkins, whoso wlfo keeps n "bnby
fnrm." Arriving nt his home, this some
what tinpleasnnt gentleman llnds a now
baby boy who wns left that afternoon, and
decides It was the otic he had seen In
Martha's arms.
Years pass and Dorothea has married a
deacon of tho church and Is a happy wife
nnd mother. Mnrtha gets evidence against
tho baby farm nnd It Is raided by the
police. Mnrtha adopts tho child that Sell
Hawkins thinks Is hers,
He, seeking revenge, goes to the min
ister of the church nnd accuses Martha.
Tho minister calls a committee, consisting
of the deacon nnd his wife Dorothea, and
they call on Martha to present tho
charges. Martha, bound by her promise
to Dorothea never to roveal her secret,
rofuses to answer their questions. Doro
thea has not KUtllclcnt courngo to confess.
Martha Is summoned to public trial at
tho church.
Here. In a terribly exciting and harrow
ing scene, the trutli comes out nnd Mnr
tha Is vindicated. It is a climax ot tre
mendous power.
A cast of exceptional ability lias been
plnccd In this picture. Norma Talmadgc,
more beautiful and far more artistic than
formerly, plays Martha with a sympa
thetic appeal distinctly charming. She
Is a remarkable screen actress, tier mar
vclously expressive face tells moro thnn
alt tho subtitles of tho picture.
Secna Owen us Dorothea plays this
rather nasty role with 11 simplicity that
robs It of Its offensive selfishness. Slio Is
charming tn look nt and is always in the
spirit ot her part.
Tully Marshall as the old scoundrel,
who, with his wife, keeps tho baby farm,
gives another of those wonderful char
acter studies of his. Ills grasp of subtle
comedy Is not exceeded by any actor nn
tho screen, while tho ntmnsphcrc of evil
ho creates docs much to put the big
"punch" In tills picture. Ho shares with

Police Court Chronicles
It's rather depressing, to say the least,
when n man awakens to discover that
he has mislaid his chauffeur. It Is still
more unfortunate when the man himself
finds something wrong with his steering
genr ns tho result of too much fuel for
the engine. This wns tho case with Frank
Dale.
Ho was zigzagging up 10th street In
somewhat pretzel fashion when police
mail Kutz'er discovered him. An Dale
was trying to avoid the sidewalk n trol
ley car and one or two nutos missed him
by nearly half nn Inch.
To prevent a possible trip to the hos
pital or Morgue the bluecoat decided to
let Dale rest In the police station. Hut
beforo tho bluecoat got within talking dis
tance Frank encountered a small boy
with a home-made wheelbarrow. It Is
possible that Frank's eyes were In mag
nifying condition. No one knows. At
any rate ho evidently mistook tho Juvenile
vehlclo for hlu nuto, for he dropped In It
and told the boy to tnko him to a down
town liotoi. Tho youngster enjoyed tho
Joke, and In order that his passenger
would have something to pass tho time
away gave him 11 stick of candy to cat.
The ride ended when 0110 of the wheels
came oft tho barrow. Dale expressed his
regret, nnd to check the boy's tears
hnnded him 11 dollar to get the barrow
repaired. The cop tlnnlly caught up with
Dale anil brought liltn to the police stu
tlon to keep him from squandering all
his money. And he had quite a roll.
On meeting Magistrate Watson, tho
prisoner wns extremely polite.
"I told my chauffeur to tnko mc out,"
he snld. "so that I could escape from my
wife. She hns been fussing about with
a rolling pin the last two days and It's
annoying, to say the least. Kver have
your wife hit you with a rolling pin?"
The Judge admitted that ho never had
such an Interesting experience.
Am there wan no definite charge against
Dale lie was permitted to pursue his
chauffeur after he had sobered.
