Why nre tlicy Mvvnya rehearsing
"Caste1' at Kngllsh country houses? "A
Pair of Silk Stockings" Rupiillea one rca
sohl to provide a false board for one of
the guests to disguise himself Into a bur
glar on an appropriate occasion. It also
supplies the most remarkable and amus
ing array of Hngtlsh slang that America
haB over heard. If the following account
of the Ir.tr'gue of Mr. Harcourts 'play
eounds a bit "squiffy," put It down to
that.
it began, y' know, becausu Sam was a
bit knocked about the Kapler. Molllo
Insisted on a Uorgla. And when he let her
boo a bill for another lady's hosiery. Just
to bring her to her Bcnscs, she biffed off
to her grandmother's and gave him the
boot. Ho would havo explained that such
golngR on as his ain't llln' In sin nnd
that It wasn't n matter of honey pots;
but Molllo put the thing Into the bally
dlvorco courts and wouldn't so much as
cut him Naturally under the circs., with
things a bit cockeye as they were, the
vpoor boy took to w. and b. when he
,( wasn't busy with a shove In his month.
What would have come of the bally busi
ness no one could say, If he hadn't been
't one of thoso English house parties that
nre always rehearsing "Caste," and his
ex-wlfe hadn't happened along, and ho
hadn't burglarized her room with his
stage beard to give her his side of the
case. But Sam did and an old llamc of
'Molly's dropped In tho same night; and
as tho flame's behavior wasn't qulto
cricket, tho whole situation was a regular
nailer.
Anyway, It and the bushels of Kngllsh
slang which Cyril Ilnrcourt added to his
native wit made a regular nailer out of
yesterday evening for those who saw "A
Pair ot Slllc Stockings" at the Adelphi.
Tho sort of people whoso mental pro
cesses wquhl link up the title of "Daddy
Iong I,ega" with "Tho Kollles," were natu
rally somewhat disappointed, But the
rest of us enjoyed a polltc'llttle play that
was full of cleverness nnd good breeding
and very, very full ot tho best Kngllsli
lang.
"A Pair of Silk Stockings" Is also full
of somo good nctlng the usual thing with
Wlnthrop Ames' productions. The honors
of tho evening went to Uva Leonnrd
Boyne and Sam Sothern as Mollic and
Sam. Miss Hoyne's voice sound.s a little
like Blllle Burke's, but she can be easily
distinguished from that person, because
she has a face with character In It and
sho acts. She plays Mollic with no touch
of (hat sentimentality nnd artificiality
which too many Amrrlrnn comediennes
mlstnko for arch humor. She commands
genuine humor by tho most natural of
means. As for Mr. Sothern. his Is a rare
talent. Jt Is simple without being silly or
Important. It Is the acme of mingled
seriousness and humor. It Is altogether
natural, human and refreshing. And It
makes a perfect foil to Miss Boyno's In
cisive vigor, . K. M.
"WHOA PHOEBE" WINS
PENN SWEEPSTAKES
Plenty of Speed in the Annual
Mask and Wig Pro
duction It was a gathering of old friends at the
Forrest, last night, when the usual so.
clety nudlenco greeted tho University of
Pennsylvania students in their nnnual
Mask nnd Wig production. It was a
case of old friends meeting again in many
ways. Many old-timo stars wero present
In the audience. Several standbys were
still In tho cast, and last but not least,
Mr. Gilpin's music Is Indeed llko greet
ing old friends.
However, notwithstanding tho usual
first night blunders nnd crudities there
were very few of these, it Is true and
certain absentees, among them being plot
and color effects, this opening wns In no
sense Inferior to any Mask and Wig show
for many years.
W. M. Wright, Jr., whose clever work
for the pnst three seasons has made him
the best known of present day "Wig
gers," Is more graceful, If also more
plump, than in former years. But why go
Into the question of the Individuals? Let
It merely be said that every part was
cleverly and Interestingly done. It Is as
a whole that the show must be consid
ered. From that standpoint, let only this
criticism be made. The specialties have
not the originality or beauty of former
years, nor are there as many of them;
yet this s made up for by trie best danc
ing by both chorus and principals seen in
the Mask and Wig since the time of the
Kendrlcks. , W. T. T., 2d.

OLD GRUMPY STILL
IS CYRIL MAUDE
And Cyril Maude Is Still Most
of Old "Grumpy" nt the
Broad Street Theatre
Perhaps you think, If you had the very
good fortune to see "Orumpy" last Rea
son, that "Orumpy" now nt the Broad
Is an old play. If you do you are mis
taken. It's new, It's fresh, It's thoroughly
entertninlng nnd amusing. Not even If
you have seen It three times before (nnd
the writer writes from a pleasant experi
ence) will "Orumpy" go stale. There
reallv Is something beside a mystery In
that play.
Not In many detcctho plays Is there a
charnctcr that manager to take hold of
the sympathies of an nudlencc Not In
nny one we have seen and remember Is
thero an old man of such crotchets nnd
such whlmslcnlltlcs ns Is old Andrew
tlulllvnnt, who prides himself on "put
ting one over" nnd on his clenr eyesight,
nr.d rather gloats at the chances of out
living his servants. Mr. Cyril Slaude. In
this third year of playing the part, has
encrusted It with a wealth of builness,
somo of It far too farcical. Hut Orumpy
remains a definite creation, full of humor
and of something far moro precious, of
character.
In the very large audience nt the Uroad
last night thero were many who had not
recti the piece nnd speculated wondcrlngly
about tho "hand" nnd nbout the catnella
with the hair tied round It. "Orumpy" li
a first rate and nn out-nnd-out good de
tective play, with a reasonable plot nnd
a dlnhollcnlly Ingenious working out. The
test gj tills Is that ciulto apart from the
leading chnractcr the play Itself bears
revisiting after all the secretH are known.
Thero Is no need to discuss It nt length,
because of that point the succesi of n
Play Is the only standard of judgment.
The company plnylng with the excellent
Mr Stnudo does not challenge any com
parisons, nor does It need to avoid them.
If this were the first time on tho rond
one could Justifiably thank tho producers
for a flrst-rato cast. Some of the orlglnnl
members nre still In It; the others fill
places more than well. In fact, what one
notices chiefly Is that the villain no longer
lias red hair a decided change for tho
better. Miss Mnud Andrew, ns Susan :
Mr. Mnrshnll, as Krncst: Mr. Hnrvvood
and Mr. Calvert aro particularly good.
Miss Klslo Mackay plays the young
woman of the piece with an Ingratiating
nnd altogether unnecessary artlllclal
charm. Tho staging, vastly Important In
this case, Is held to the first standard of
excellence.
As for Mr. Cyril Maude himself little
remnlns to be said. And that little Is In
tho headline. G. V. S.

Hy the Photoplay Editor
Kven beyond the most sanguine expec
tations of the orlglnnlors of the mo
tion picture campaign for the Actors
Fund, which has undertntoen to raise
ir.00,000 of the million-dollar per
manent endowment fund for the Actors'

mnnagers throughout the United States
shows that this phllanthrnliy will receive
a support that wilt moro than fulfil tho
promise that the people of the "movie"
world will do their part In establishing
nn Income that will obviate the necessity
of former annual benefits, fairs nnd coq-
trlbutlons thnt have been needed to oinko
good the deficits that hae come In catl

campaign there has not been one re
fusal to join In the movenvnt. nnd lvmny
managers who have been nsked to dannto

Tribute Day, Monday, May 15. have gone
beyond tho ordlnnry spirit by offering
more than was asked. For In.stnnce, these
typical answers from motion-picture
house mnnagers indicate the desire to
aid: tra P. Hay, manager of Dreamland,
Klk Lick, Pa., writes: "Please find at
tached my check for 10 per cent ot the
gross receipts of my theatre wbetbfcr we
soli out or not." Wllllnm It Young, man
ager ' the Knston-Taylor Theatre, St.

voices the spirit of many other managers
In writing, "Will book the best features

"KICK IN" A SUCCESS
AT THE KNICKERBOCKER
New Melodrama Furnishes Au
dience With Both Tears
and Latlghter
The consensus of opinion when tho audi
ence left the Knickerbocker last night
was that "Kick In" wns tho best 'show
thnt has ever been staged there. ,Tho
melodrama, which comes straight from
New York,, where It ran a solid year, Is of
the same type ns "Under tov.er." only It
Is brighter, snappier nnd more thrilling.
In short It gives the audience a laugh one
minute nnd a tear the next.
"Kick In," ns presented by the West
Philadelphia Stock Company, Is one of
the best detective dramas that have been
seen here for some time. The players
threw their full talent nnd magnetism
Into tho production nnd the result was
a performance that will bo hard to equal.
Kvcry plajer in the cast got nn ovation
at some time from the audience, nnd
every pl.ijer deserved It
"Kick In" Is a story of the underworld
s. the police The story revolves around
a boy who has reformed and married an
honest woman. He loyally stands hy his
less fortunate friends, but nt the Bame
time strives to keep within tho require
ments of the law. The result Is that ho
gets Into nil sorts of complications. The
police hound him and his family, driving
lllm nearly to distraction. How the police
"sweat" the men and women who fall Into
their hands for information Is graphically
portrayed
John Warner and Kmlly Smiley, as
Chick nnd Molly Hughes, were excellent.
They showed the result of careful train
ing nnd during tho whole play held the
audience In the palm of their hands.
Anna Doherty, as Myrtle Sylvester, was
nil thnt could be asked In the second act,
where she Is torn with grief. The light
nnd cheery Anna showed a talent hereto
fore unknown to the theatregoers.
Charles T. Moore also put n fine finish
to the piny by bis excellent Interpretation
of the doiw Mend thnt chewed the Com
missioner's matches. Moore was realistic
to the last, doing somo of the best nctlng
seen at the Knickerbocker. Ted Brackett,
as Whip Fogarty, Phillip Lord, as the po

A Plain Statement
to the Business Men
of Philadelphia
The purpose of the Associated Advertising Clubs
of the World is to elevate the standards of advertising,
to exchange ideas, lo study methods and systems, to
promote general business efficiency. The 15,000
members of this organization arc the men who wideii
and deepen the channels of distribution. They ate
trained to observe and to tell what they see. They
spread the gospel of good goods through the medium
of printers' ink.
A LITTLE more than a year ago, the Poor
Richard Club decided that it would be a big
thing for Philadelphia if the Associated Advertis
ing Clubs of the World could be induced to hold
their 12th Annual Convention in this city in
June, 1916.
Enthusiastic meetings of the members fol
lowed, at which prominent officials of other busi
ness associations were among the speakers. Official
letters of endorsement and promises of support
were received from the following organizations:
The Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce;
The Philadelphia Board of Trade;
The Merchants' and Manufacturers' Association;
(Later merited with tho Krcntcr Chamber of Commerce.)
The United Business Men's Association;
The Manufacturers' Club of Philadelphia;
The Philadelphia Association of Advertising Agents;
The Rotary Club of Philadelphia ;
The Association of Manufacturers' Representatives;
The Philadelphia Hotel Managers' Association;
The Sales-managers' 'Association;
The Pen and Pencil Club
(Practically all othtr. organization! have u'nce manifeited
approval in enthuilattic meeting addressed by Poor Richard Club
members.)
PHILADELPHIA Select and Common Councils
one year ago passed a resolution instructing
Mayor Blankenburg to extend to the Associated
Advertising Clubs of the World, through the Poor
Richard Club of Philadelphia, an invitation to hold
the 1916 Convention in this city.
The Philadelphia newspapers gave the move
ment their hearty support from the beginning.
The buildings and grounds of the University of
Pennsylvania and of the Commercial Museum
were offered for the general - and departmental
sessions of the Convention.
THE POOR RICHARD CLUB conveyed the
city's official invitation, together With the afore
mentioned assurances of support from the various
business organizations, to the 150 Advertising
Clubs, and constantly advertised Philadelphia's
attractions as an IDEAL CONVENTION CITY,
during a period of four or five months prior to the
Convention at Chicago in June last. '
The result of our efforts was that the Asso
ciated Advertising Clubs of the World voted
unanimously to hold the next convention in
Philadelphia during the week beginning June
25, 1916.
This Convention, which will bring to the city
from 7000 to 10,000 men (and several hundred
women), will be one of the largest and most im
portant business gatherings this country has ever
seen, and unquestionably

We have them all talkith about Philadelphia.
They will talk more after thgQonvention.
The great advertising and industrial pageant
during convention week will have an incalculable
influence for good upon the three-quarters of a
million of our own people who will view it. It will
be instructive as well as spectacular. It will instill
a new spirit of civic pride.
Gentlemen Business Men of Philadel
phia: We have the endorsement of the
city governmeht and of all your business
organizations. We must have YOUR IN'
DIVIDUAL SUPPORT. $50,000 is
