New York Sees "The
Heart of Wetona"
' By W. P. Eaton
"Charles Frohmnn-Dnvld Belasco pr
sents 'Tho Heart of Wetona,' a play In
three acts, by George Scarborough."
so reads the program of the Lyceum
Theatre. Wo havo no means of know
ing whether It was tho Frohinan or
the Belnsco oflico that picked tho play In
the first place; but It was quite evidently
Mr. Bolasco who staged it. The produc
tion has nil tho lifelike surface, the suner-
' flcial illusion of hla management. But,
infortuuately, It has nlso all tho literary
vices which havo been nssoclntcd' with
too'imanyjriBolasco productions In times
.past. It Is nothing In tho world but old
3d nvonuo melodrama brought up to
Broadway and dlsgulsod by good acting
and Illuslvo stago management Coming
from a' man who In recent years has
mounted such plays as "Tho Concert,"
"The Secret," "Marie Odlie," "The Phan
tom Rival" and even "Tho' Boomerang,"
this latest nfTalr Is a pretty big disap
pointment. It Is qulto upworthy Bclasco's
po woi s.
The scene Is laid on tho Comanche res
ervation, In Oklahoma, and tho heroine,
Wetona, Is the daughter of tho chief, Quan
nnh, by a whlto mother. The hero Is
John Hardin, tho Indian agent, who loves
Wetona. Tho vllllan Is Anthony Wells,
a young Government engineer, who has
seduced tho girl. Wctona's father Is
greatly enraged, and ho nnd his clllofs
vow vengeance. Ho thinks Hardin is the
man, for Wetona will not tell her lover's
name, and Hardin, in order to protect the
girl, marries her. In form only, till the
real lover appears to claim her. However,
Tony Isn't the kind who rises to such an
occasion, and when Hardin finds out t
was Tony he brings him to his house, in
order to cure Watona of her Infatuation
by letting her see what kind of a man her
loer really Is.
There is some psychological valuo In
this scene, for tho girl Is tempted, nnd
by fighting her battle alone In her room
In the dark house she wins strength. But,
unfortunately, the villain is painted with
such crude strokes, ho Is such n cheap
melodrama villain, and the girl Is deplet
ed as such a little weakling and Ignoramus
that It becomes qulo Impossible to take
the situation seriously.
The best performance In tho piece Is
that of William Courtlelgh as the gruff,
passionate old Indian chief. Lenoro Ul
rlch playa Wetona rather prettily, and
John Mlltern Is a pleasing figure as Ular
din, the grizzled and kindly Indian agent
who saves the girl Lowell Snerman plays
the villain In a truly villainous manner,
even to the Inevitable cigarette.
A Statement From the
Theatre Francais
j Since the company of the Theatre Fran
cats has been playing in the leading cities
of America for several years, It Is a
pleasure to hear that they plan to make
Philadelphia a regular stop after this
season.
Mr. Luclen Bonheur, manager of the
company, gives out the following an
nouncement; It is thj Intention of the
Theatre Francais to come to Philadelphia
every year If It Is shown by the nubile
,of Philadelphia that they are anxious to
nave us as the public of New York, Boston
and Chicago are. The Theatre Francais
was founded with the Idea of propagating
the French language all over the United
States, and we do hope next year to be
able to have more cities. The same com
pany that plays tn New York has played
In all those cttfes, and those artists are
of the best theatres of Paris. It is ex
pected that the best works of French
authors will be given.
From Now York v(o hear that Mr. Bon
heur'a company will occupy a new play
house built especially for the organization
next season.

beautiful rose os a souvenir It Is Just
this sort of little thing which has mndc
this theatre so popular in Logan. A one
reel picture receives the ssam careful at
tention ns Is given to the nuil'i production.
William Crozler, the manager, has been
singing boIos appropriate to the pictures.
Workmen havo started to dig the pit for
tho Installation of a Wurlltzer Hope-Jones
orchestra with organ or tho Overbrook
and It will be the, lar- . Instrument of Its
kind In tho State. Vhe clearness of tho
pictures nt this house Is due to tho lino
liinlltlcs of tho gold flbro screen nnd the
careful work of the operator. Tho venti
lating scheme makes It an easy matter to
turn tho houso Into n summer garden or
covered alrdome.
It Is not an uncommon sight to see
nnywhero from 10 to CO baby carriages
In the "Baby Carriage Garage" of tho
Jumbo Theatre. Manager Boyd has mndo
this convenience for the patrons a feature
nnd it has proved successful. Whenever
It Is necessary for an announcement to
be made, he does not hesitate to address
tho crowd In person, for It was In this
capacity with circuses nnd museums that
ho worked before cpmlng to tho Jumbo as
piano player and later manager.
Preparedness for any occasion Is i looked
after by tho management of tho Broad
Street Casino, where, should It be required,
a completely equipped stago for vaude
ville Is built. On Sunday It Is used for
religious services. MIhs Belslag Is one
of tho most capublo women managers In
the city, as Is also Mrs. Brown, of tho
Grand. First-run Mutual pictures will
bo shown here nnd Chuplin'B comedies
have been contracted for. This theatre
has a steady 'patronage, who have come
to reallzo -ho quality of entertainment

movie prlco" of ndmlsslon.
Charlie Chaplin's burlcsquo on "Car
men" will bo tho big feature at the Lo
cust Theatre on Monday, Tuesday ar
Wednesday of next week.
Tho Cedar Theatre Is ono of the most
successful neighborhood playhouses In
Philadelphia. Tho management lakes tho
stand that the theatre belongs to the pa
trons and caters to their every desire. A
fcaure of their program Is "Old Favorlto
Days," when some particularly good pic
ture that has pleased tho patrons is
brought back to tho theatro for a day.
This featuro la meeting with universal
favor and as a rule the scats are nt a
premium on these days.
Ono of tho unique picture houses In
tlio State Is tho Tloga Theatre It has
a beautiful lobby, has only ono floor seat
ing over 1600, is perfectly square, has
not a single post and tho vision Is fine
from every scat In the house Tho venti
lation system Is an entirely original Idea
of Mr. C. Stamper, tho proprietor. It Is so
satisfactory that It Is taken for a model
by men wlio aro building theatres, Many
new features are In course of preparation
by tho management, ono of which they
claim will revolutionize the present Idea
of suitable music for the photoplay.
It Is rumored thnt Doctor Oberholtzer,
of the State Board of Censors, will bo
askodto put his seal of approval on base
ball during the .summer season. Some of
tho balls aro likely to get by tho catcher.
A playhouse that has becomd an In

Frankford Theatro. For sheer beauty

John McCormack in Recital
Is John McCormack becoming high
brow? Such wns the question which
many of the greatest nudlenco that ecr
was congregated lnsldo the Metropolitan
Opern House nsked themselves when It
looked over tho program John McCormack
offered at his flnnl recital this season In
Philadelphia.
Mr. McCormack sang two novelties In
the operatic line, the "Valncmcnt," from
Lalo's "Rot d'Ys," and "Testa Adoratn,"
from Leoncavallo's seldom-sung "La
Boheme." Ho also sang a group of songs
by .Schumann. Rachmaninoff nnd Men
delssohn. This sounds rather unusual for
McCormack. But no, ho Is not high
brow yet, for his encores sank to
"Mother Machrec." Morris' "Little Gray
Homo In tho West,' etc., until ho Ilnnlly
reached "I Hear You Calling Me." Wo
do not wonder ho heard the calling, for
It would have waked the dead.
Mr. McCormafck opened In rather poor
voice, his low notes being clouded nnd
his high notes shrill. Ills Lalo aria was
only fair, but with "Boheme" ho seemed
to find himself nnd sang this glorious
theme with a legato wonderful In Its
breadth, From then on his voice steadily
Improved and his singing proved an ar
tistic delight. Even tho McCormack high
notes had more fullness than Is their wont.

"The Bcllo of New York." No wonder she dujr the familiar Uniform
out of her trunk when sho went into the service of tho Vitaraph
Company to make "Salvntion Joan," -which will be seen nt tho
Arcadia next week. Incidentally it is intorestinKjito note that tho
spirit of "The Army" went with her, for her contract provided that
the bulk of her big fee should go to the Red Cross Fund.
