DUCAL HAIIl CUT.
But economy Is here, and economy will
ay. I understand that a certain noble
uuko has recently been having his hair
"cut by tho equally noble duchess, so as to
sav money, It Is Bald that the duchess has
adopted the old and traditional method of
fixing a pudding bnsln on the ducal pate,
and then snipping off all the. hair that can
bo touched by the "scissors. The result, I
am told, leaves nothing to be desired.
Another welt-known duke, actuated by a
desire to practice economy, shaved himself
the other day. "When Interviewed, his
grace said that he was naturally much cut
up, although facing the ordeal manfully.

quite "short, has three tiers, a high collar
of black velvet, and rows of queer little
buttons running down to the waist-line.
The "Charity Girl" capo Is less complex-,
with a, soft turnover collar of silk or

ten a point at the centre of back and front
and falls short over the shoulder-line so
as to display the elbows.

WAR AVORKEHS' COSTUMES.
Suits for war workers are everywhere,
and apparently are created In England
and In England only. They rather savor
of fancy dress. Tho best I have seen

Raglan sleevts and Innumerable Dockets.
It is three-quarter length, and la worn.
over breeches, putees and spats to match.
A thick white silk shirt Is udorned, with
a stock tie, and the wholo Is completed
by a cloth cap. Worn by a young- and
slender girl, this costume la decidedly
attractive.

POOR RICHARDS OPEN
CAMPAIGN TO RAISE
$50,000 IN 4 DAYS
This Sum, Added to $25,000
Contribution of City, Will
Make $76,000 Fund for Big
Advertising Convention
TEAMS ON EDGE
"Fifty -thousand dollars In four days."
That Is tho slogan of the big money-raising
campaign which was launched today
by the Poor Richard Club.
When the money Is raised (and the
members of the club say It Is going to be
raised, sink or swim) It will be turned
Into a fund which wilt be used to defray
the expenses of the big convention of the
Associated Advertising Clubs of the
World In this city next June. Tho city
has appropriated 125,000, and this will
maka a total of 175,000 for the ground
work expenses of tho big advertising
tournament.
Keyed up to a high pitch of enthusiasm
and determination, 100 men, divided Into
teams of four men each, began nn attack
on the pockotbooks of public-spirited cit
izens this morning. Before" the teams
started out, morn than IS, 000 had been
subscribed by citizens who didn't wait
to bo approached for contributions, but
Just phoned Into the headquarters' of the
Campaign Committee and told what they
could do.
Poor Richard Club members are confi
dent that tho amount desired will be
raised within 48 hours. The convention
of the Associated Advertising Clubs of
tho World promises to provide the biggest
boost Philadelphia ever received, and to
bring new business Into this city from
every section of the United States. It In
believed that this feature alone Is sufll
cient to Induce business men and manu
facturers to contribute liberally toward
tho fund.
The solicitors are picked men from the
membership of the Poor Hlchard Club, and
today they wilt approach business men
with nn nppcal which will not permit of
a turndown. Tho men have been divided
Into two armies the Reds nnd the Blues.
Thomas A. Mulvcy Is commander of the
Rods ,and Rlchnrd A, Foley of the Blues.
A race Is on between tho Reds and Blues
to see which side will make the' largest
collections.
The convention fund will be used to pay
for tho Illumination of the .Schuylkill
River, for the construction of a grnnd
stand In -tho Commercial Mureum, and for
tho building of a dining hnll at the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania for the use of
delegates. Expense of entertaining tho
visitors will bo borne by Poor Richard
Club members.
HOARD OF TItADK
WOULD HAZE CUT HALL
Recommends That City House Its Of
fices Along the Pnrkway
The demolition of tho present City Hall
and the construction of several buildings
along the Parkway to house tho municipal
departments Is advocated by tho Phila
delphia Board of Trade. While agitation
for the razing of City Hall has been car
ried on nt various times for soma years,
the Board of Trade was the first organiza
tion of any Importance to lend Its support
to the proposal.
The Municipal Committee of tho Board
of Trade made the recommendation nt
the meeting yesterday, nnd there was no
opposition voiced by any of the member
ship. Although the City Halt cost ?24,
000,000 for erection and took many years
to complete it. It la held that the razing of
the building wotild be Justified for the ad
vancement of Philadelphia.
The report of the Board of Trade com
mittee reads:
'Tho controversy over the City Hall
foundations only emphasizes the opinion
of your committee that this building
should be removed, and that several tall
buildings be built on the line of the
Parkway, or on Broad street, to houso tho
various departments, with proper allow
ance for future growth.
"The open square thus secured would
be worth all It would cost, and the build
ing could bo removed In sections as the
various departments were housed olse
where. "The Idea Is not new, but a determined
effort, to accomplish it is, and this should
be undertaken promptly, so that a proper
frontage for the various buildings could
be reserved on the Parkway and adjacent
streets."
WILL PLAY ALPINE SYMPHONY
Orchestra to Perform Latest Strauss
Work Hero for First Time
The new Alpine symphony of Richard
Strauss will be played for tho first time
In this country by Leopold Stokowskl and
hlH men pt the final concerts of the sub
scription series of the Philadelphia Or
chestra at the Academy of Music on Fri
day afternoon and Saturday evening of
next week.
With the Alpine Symphony added to Its
long list of ImporUnt novelties, the Phila.
delphla Orchestra probably may claim to'
hae Introduced more Important works In
this country in a single season than any
other orchestra in the country.
With the Arvine Players
"The House Next Doorv" one of the
early comedies by J. Hartley Manners,
was revived by the Ueorge Arvine Play
ers at the American Theatre last night
The story concerns the hatred and preju
dice a penniless old baronet, 8!r John
ioiiswoia. oears loward ma more suc
cessful Jewish neighbor. Sir Isaao Jacob-
son, who has attained his present position
through his own efforts. The love of the
children of the two families finally brings
Sir John to realize the true worth of his
neighbor In "The House. Next Door."
The part of Sir Isaac Jacobson was por
trayed by dearge Arvine, and William
Carr was seen to advantage us sir John
Co)Uwood. The supporting cast Included
Richard La Salle. Maria Warren, Ruth
Robinson, Sammy Lynch. Gabriel Rosa
and Henrietta yaders.

BEL OF MUCH MERIT
APPROVED AT KEITH'S
Amelia Stone nnd Armand Ka-
lisz in an Artistic Sketch.
Mary Shaw Presents
New Act
It's the easiest thing In the world to
sit In a theatre and find fault with a
vaudeville show. There nro many who
Imagine that this form bf Indoor sport
Invests them with an air of superior wis
dom. The most pronounced pessimist,
however, would havej a difficult task In
picking flaws In this week's show at
Keith's.
There are so many really good things
to choose from that It's somewhat difficult
to say who takes the honors. As a matter
of fact It's a caso of neck nnd neck with
most of the nets on tho bill.
Should you favor nrtlstlo romance flav
ored with music, then tho palm certainly
goes to Amelia Stone and Armatid Kalliz
In their Justly named "Ma'mzelle Caprice."
Miss Stone possesses that winsome charm
otherwise known as magnetism nnd
creates the proper atmosphere for every
thing she does to entertain. The real
French dialect of Mr. Kallnz seems to be
long to tho scene, it private dining room
In a Parisian hotel. Miss Stono gets Into
the room accidentally and thpn the key Is
lost. They sing and flirt nnd quarrel
Klnnlly she discovers that tho key Is In
her bodice. It eventually proves to be
the key to her heart. Finnic happiness
The story Is the creation of Udgar Allan
Woo-ir.
If one prefers a ttttle mnrltal woo ns a
means of merriment there Is "The IJIckey
Bird," which made Its first peep In Phil
adelphia, with Mnry Shaw n'nd an ade
quate supporting cast. It Is the work of
Harvey O'HIgglns nnd Harriet Ford, who
wroto 'The Argylo Case" and several
other successful plays. The story has to
do with a bride and groom who nre
looking for an npartment. They acci
dentally stumble Into a plnce conducted
by the bridegroom's first wife While the
bride In wandering about, the former wife
promises to keep mum, but makes It very
apparent that her "Bllenco will bo golden,"
and therefore expensive, A bungling
servant accidentally brings tho truth to
the surfaco for tho benefit of the bride.
But she sticks to her husband.
Tho sketch was well received and Is
enlivened by a number of very good
situations. Thero are somo scenes, how
ever, which do not ring true nnd there li
a tendency toward comedy extremes. For
Instance, no woman would think It such a
laughing matter to tell another woman
how her husband deserted her and left her
penniless. The fuslllnde of kisses between
bride and bridegroom could also be cut
down nt least OB per cent, without nffect
Ing the romantic spirit.
As the deserted, but not disappointed,
wife. Miss Shaw gave a llfe-llko rendition.
The fact thnt she had to say some In
consistent lines wns not her fault. Frank
Ferguson looked and acted the man In the
case. Grace Fisher mndc nn Ideal bride,
and Ida Mulle, the horolno of many a
lough, showed how stupid servants could
renlly be,
The letter H was significant when Belle
Baker appeared. It evidently stood for
hit, for she cornered tho applause of the
show nnd left with some to spare, even
after making a "God-bless-you" speech.
Hussy nd Boylo repeaed their former
hit In "The Now ChnufTour." Howard's
Animals proved to bo the leader of all
animal acts. Hvery Tour-legged actor In
this nggrcgntion docs something worth
while and there Is a thrilling finish In
which half a dozen dogs do dllllcult
Btunts on tho backs of speedy horses. The
ponies play music, dance and skip tho
rope. Tameo Kajlynma, a talented Jap
anese, showed how easy It was to think
of four different things at one time.
Corbett, Shepurd and Donovan, singers;
Rice, Elmer and Tom, comedy bar per
formers, nnd Nowbold and Grlnin. In songs
and imitations, wore well received.
Many events In Mexico were shown
among the pictures. J. a C.
"Maid and Mummy" Globe
Dainty dancing girls and n number of
clever comedians figure prominently In
"The Maid and tho Mummy," which head
lines the bill at the Globe. Tho comedy
Is clean and new and the act generally
shows that It has been staged with an
eye to detail. As a result It Was highly
appreciated.
Nat Nazzaro and company thrilled the
audience by some wonderful acrobatic
feats. Others on the bill who pleased were
Willie Zimmerman, ldlwood nnd Snow,
the Four Harmonists, John Ripley ami
company, Wlnkel and Dean, Bnby Anna
and Hartley and Pecan.
Kluting's Animals Cross Keys
Special scenery and costumes nro pre
scnted with Kluting's nnlmals, which per
form remarkable stunts at lUe Cnms Keys.
This act Is a decided novelty and tho four
'jgged nctors show considerable versatility.
A number of character songs were of
fered by Bessie Lo Cont. She was re
warded by an abundance of appluuse.
Other acta which proved to be highly pleas

Last night the plays and Players Intro
duced a decided dramatic novelty to Its
members and guests In Itablndranath Ta.

of the old actor, "The Swan Song," which
might have been much more effective if It
had had pungent, human acting. Instead

The most effective part of the enter

evoked by words and settings. The dairy,
man, singing his wares- "Curds, good

all tho rest, well garbed and in general
well acted, brought out a picture as in
dividual and as suggestive as the, dfag.
no-sls of the physician that "ll his little
organ are. at loggerheads with one an

by tta scenery. Helped, because the two
settings were singularly beautiful and

CENSORSHIP USURPED
BY BENCH, SAYS JUDGE
Justice Von Moschzisker Says

ly criticised by Justice von Sloschzlsker,

on a motion-picture film called "Virtue"
and upholding the State Board of Moving
Picture CenRors,
"I nm convinced," snld Justice von
Moschzisker, "after a Careful reading of
the statute, that Courts of Common Pleas
were never Intended by the net to bo con

"Tho evident Intent of tho net was to

which tho Board of Censors might make,

"When, aftor hearing, the Court Is con

ROBERT EDES0N,
ROUGHNECIUND HERO
Popular Actor Scores Success
in "Big Jim Garrity,' New
Pathe Release
I)y the Photoplay Editor
MHO JIM tlAimtTr." rathe Gold hootr
dim In five parts, artitptpil by Oulila nrn,
fr!m Wood's nlny. Directed by FltzMaurlce,
Itelcsaeil today.
Tho censors are terribly set against
dope fiend pictures, but nt fast a scenario
writer has succeeded In handling the sub
ject so discreetly that oven the censors
cannot object. Dope forms the basis of
the plot of "Big Jim Garrlly," the new
Patho Gold Rooster film released today.
Yet, unpleasant as tho story Is, thoro It
nothing objectionable about It In the least.
As a photoplay. It Is great Robert
Kdeson, who plays tho title role, given a
striking Impersonation of the roughneck
hero. Edcson has done many fine things
on the legitimate stage. Ills Strongheart,
hero In "Where the Trail Divides," and the
hero In "Classmates" were excellent bits
of character acting. Ills "Caveman" work
was unique, But In "Big Jim Garrlty"
wo got Hdeson of all kinds: Hdcson the
roughneck, Hdeson the gentleman, Edeson
tho hero nnd XMcson tho nctor.
The whole cast Is fine, but tho only one
who really touches Kdeson's flno work Is
Kloanor Woodruff ns the girl ho loves and
finally mnriles. Her Impersonation of tho
dope fiend Is extremely clover,
Tho Stanley opens tho week with "Molly
Make-Belleve," with Marguerite Clark.
On Thursday, Friday and Saturday "Tho

"The Brute," Not Previously Run
Here, Well Acted by Company
Until the husband, his patience finally
exhausted by his wife's remarkablo self
ishness, now nt her In a rage In tho last
act and bent her unmercifully, to the pro
found satisfaction of the audience, ntr ono
know Just how the term "brute" could be
applied to the kind nnd generous man In
Frederick Arnold KummerV'Tho Brute,"
playing at tho Knickerbocker last night,
Tho play, which Is shown In Philadel
phia for the first tlmo by tho West Phila
delphia stock company, hns n strong plot:
a loving husband's, efforts to keep his wife
on the straight and narrow path, He
does so, almost at tho risk of his own
happiness. Tho story deals, In Bhort, with
tho Rogers, who nre "struggling" ajong In
a (C0-a-month New York flat. The wlto
cries continually and pesters her Indulgent
husband for clothes nnd luxuries. Finally
she decides to elope with a boyhood chum,
not because she loved him, but because
he had a half million dollars. He dies
before her dream Is realized but leaves
her his money, which the husband, Inno
cent though ho was, refused to accept.
Finally the tala of how tho wife got
the money finds Its way to the husband's
ears. He leaves her to go back to tho
.flat, whllo she stays In the magnificent
country Home, Ho tells her, all the whllo
kind nnd patient, that sho must glvo up
all the money and llvo with him, solely
on what he can glvo her. Sho refuses nt
first nnd, her selfishness rising to its
height, sho calls him "brute." Thon the
beating, happy reconciliation and curtain,
Kmlly Smiley, as the selfish wife, acted
so well and Interpreted her part so clev
erly that the audience was actually glad
whentsho got her beating. John Warner,
as the patient husband, was seen to a
great ndvnntngo In his trying role. Hart
Western, ns tho friend, was also clever
and enthusiastic. Josle Slsslon, ns tho
mother-in-law: Anna Doherty, as tho sin
ter; Bobble, tho child, and Philip Lord
were excellent.
