IRENE MANKLIN HIT
OF BILL AT KEITH'S
NEW PLAYERS IN THE THEATRES LAST NIGHT
Now we know what war Is for. It Is
not tho survival of the fittest. Thoy don't.
It Isn't n, conflict of kulturs. We'ro all In
for Germany's now no trintter who wins.
It Isn't world-domination, or a place In the
sun, or a wicked Kaiser or plain onery
human scrapplncss. It's something so
much simpler and sweeter. As tho poet
has It, 'tis love. The Great "War mav
crack n few stupid crowns or It may crush
the hope of mankind. But, anyway, It
has got Kthel Wlllouehbv nnd Cntitnln
Hedmond married!
In which regard, "Under Flro" proves
the present conlllct to be the same sort
of affair as our own Civil War, judged by
"Secret Service." It doesn bother with
mere history. It talks about tho "Antes"
when they were stIU the Kntcnte. It
has British trenches neatly dug nnd num
bered before the news of Belgium's In
vasion reaches the Belgian town of Cour-
voisier. ii dumps into those same
trenches In those same early days a young
officer who hadn't even enlisted let nlono
been trained 10 days before But theso
are little things. To the glorious past of
melodrama the new piece at the Forrest
Is Indefatlgabty true. There Is a good
spy and a bad spy and a lady spy the
eternal triangle of war plays. Tho wicked
one says, "We must communicate with
our friends, the Germans." The fair one
says, "Think what I, a woman, nnd a
clever woman, could do!" and whccdlos
the "Hun" who happens also tj be her
secret and temporary husband Into let
ting her play a sort of double-spy game
against his own side. And the handsome
one amends his lady's "For King and
-uumryr wun a "jor .your
As all thrco spies know each other's
Identity and all three get behind tho Ger
man lines In tho second act, the nntutl
result Is a good many violent moments of
confrontation, accusation and hand-to-hand
encounters. Thoy make tho mlililln
act varied and exciting. Tho last is
Comedy Prevails in Snappy,
Well-Balanced Show Full
of Surprises
shorter and deponds for Its punch on two
little things., Ono Is tho Saving of Trench
27 and so tho Kngllsh army and tho
whole Allied cause by the arrival of tho
good spy on top of tho bad spy with In
sldo Information about tho very obvious
fact that Kluck Is sweeping down on
Paris. Tho other Is a glimpse of trench
life, shrapnel bombnrdments nnd tho
wrecking of tho trench by a bomb from
an aeroplane. Naturally this has the
Interest of novelty. But It might have
been mom cffectlvo if tho German search
light hadn't shono through the canvas at
tho top of the proscenium nnd the explo
sion hadn't echoed Itself Into the flapping
of boards as tho scenery doubled up. If
the management Is Interested In this lino
of reform, by tho way. It might wash tho
first net setting. .
Mr. Courtenay manages to forgot his as
sumed Irish accent when ho talks German
spy-language, and generally takes the
heroic part Mr. Kingsford and Mr. Tharp
are dellghtfuly English, and Miss Hcming
and Miss Moore lust as pretty as they
can be. Mr. Morgan does a good Imita
tion of Frank Craven's comic relief war
correspondent. Mr. Ildblnson "doubles"
as well as any of the rest. A very long
cast docs a lot to make this always
amusing melodrama qulto thrilling at mo
menta. It would probably seem a good
deal mo-e thrilling It the Great War
weren't much too serious an affair for
Mr. Mcgrue's lady-spies and comic war
correspondents.
Tho Sunday advertising of "Under Flro"
carried the cryptic paradox: "Not pro
Ally. Not pro-German. Not Neutral."
Considered In a certain light the piece It
self Is: Not melodrama. Not comedy.
Not a play. It's a leg show. Half a
dozen German soldiers do the stork-salute
every other minute In the second act, and
the whole German army goose-steps
interminably through Belgium. This
must have been one of those atrocities we
heard so much about K. M.
This Is the time of tho year when no
ono cares to think about anything seri
ous. Tho show nt Keith's this Week Is
In keeping with such a temperament It
overflows with comedy.
Miss Irene Franklin, tho headllner,
lived up ns usual to the honor by setting
tho pace for tho cntlro show- It Is doubt
ful If she ever presented n better col
lection of songs. They wcro Jammed full
of philosophy, fun and. wit, Add to this
her characteristic way of "nuttlne them
over" and the result Is 100 per cent.
Her version of "The Millionaire's Son"
seemed to win the most approval. It Is a
sermon full of punches. In this sho
cautions girls not to marry a mtlllonnlro's
son "who spends his llvo nursing a bun "
Sho also points out that "when you think
him a prince, ho might bo a quince."
"Dirty Face," another truo-to-llfo num
ber, tells of the folly of trying to keep
Kids clean. "Tho Cash airl" Is tho pa
thetic wall of a girl who yearn? for fnme,
while her employer crowds her envelope!
with $3 every week.
Other songs which were nmply punc
tuated with laughs were "Tho Old Mald'i
Home for Mine" and 'The Chorus Girl's
Life on Broadway."
Burton Green ofllclnted nt tho piano nt
of yore. Incidentally ho offered sccrnl
good numbers, tho most popular of which
was ".March of tho Toys From Toylnnd,"
by Victor Herbert.
Stormy npptauso attested the audience's
gratitude.
Roger Gray and company wero easily
next tc Miss Frnnklln In sharing honors
Their act is announced ns "Vnudevllllzcii
Musical Comedy." It Is n little of every
thing In a hurry. Mr. Gray, n tall Individ
ual, who looks ns though he should havo
been a bank president, Is the chief cut-up.
Laughs seem to radiate from everything
ho does. It wouldn't surprise us In tho
least to see his name Illuminating a real
musical comedy on Broadway In tho near
future. The Insldo workings of the real
estate business were cxplnlned by Frnnk
lyn Ardell, who unfolded "Tho Wife
Saver." It proved to bo a snappy nffalr
full of quick surprises. Marjorlo Sheldon,
as a stenographer, gave valuablo nld In
bringing about tho good results.
Schooler nnd Dickinson presented an
artistic musical act which was highly appreciated.
Johnny Dooley nnd Yvetto Itugel, a
pair of I'hlladelphlans, wcro greeted
warmly. Miss Itugel was In good voice
and Mr. Dooley has Improved a great deal
In his "bumps" and carrying on. They
won approval.
Others on tho bill wcro Kctchem nnd
Chentcm In a self-denunciation act, Lew
Hawkins with a good monologue and Her
man nnd Shirley In undoubtedly tho best
opening act seen hero In several seasons

Lynch and Marie Warren. George
Iteehms deserves a line to himself for his

"Twin Beds," which made such a pro
nounced hit on Its previous stay In this
city, returned last night for nn Indeflnlto
engagement at the Walnut Street Thea
tre. That Is tho show Itself returned
the original company did not.
Tho show Itself has not lost any of Its
amusing and side-splitting situations,
which gill It from stem to stern, but tho
presenting of It Is not ns good ns on tho
jirevious occasion.
Ono of tho most glaring faults was tho
acting by Augusto Aramlnl, who takes tho
part of Slgnor Monti, a singer, an Italian
part, as tho charter-name Indicates. In
spite of his name, he did not mako a good
Italian ; and, for another thing, ho was
too large, physically, for tho part
Tho work of Lois Bolton, n3 Blanche
Hawkins, really featured tho piny, and
sho was warmly received. Sho handled
herself well In all of tho peculiar situa
tions sho found herself theso situations,
of course, being built around tho pur
chase of twin beds, where nil of tho trou
blo starts. Slgnor Monti Imbibes too
freely, comes "homo" In tho weo small
hours, gets Into tho wrong flat nnd, of
course, Into tho wrong bed, nnd from then
on thcro Is no end seemingly of odd
situations. Everything Is cleared up sat
isfactorily In tho end, however,
John Welch was very good nn Harry
Hawkins, nnd Claro AVeldon as Slgnora
Monti. Thcro was somo room for im
provement in tho nctlng of Fred Ozab us
Andrew Lnrkln. Susanno Morgan was
good as tho Irish maid, Nora.
"On Trial" Opens Fortnight's Run
Patrons of tho Knickerbocker Theatre
received another treat last night In tho
presentation by tho stock company of
Elmer L. Rclzcnstclns much-dlscusscd
"On Trial." Tho play was given with tho
appointments used at a downtown houso
earlier in tho season. The revolving stnge
was used, making It hardly moro than a
second before tho next sccno was Hashed
on. Tho houso was well filled with nn
appreciative audience and from tho ap
pearances of tho first night, It looks as If
tho two weeks' run of tho production will
be a hugo success.
John Wnrncr, as tho defendant, was ex
cellent, while Lmlly Smiley was all that
could ho asked in the emotional role of
tho wife. Charles T. Mooro again ex
hibited tnlent in his clear-cut interpreta
tion of the defendant's counsel. Ted
Brnckctt was very good as tho murdered
man, whllo Phillip Lord was seen to ad
vantage as tho district nttornoy. Cnrrio
Thatcher, as tho widow, and little Georgia
Mat Fursman, as her child, wero also
good. Tho many other roles wcro acted by
a capablo cast.

Take the
Whole Family
You want your children to have ad
vantages that you could not have when you
were young:.
When you were a child there wore no
Goldberg Movies to go to. Think of it!
Think of it! It's a wonder us older folks
know anything at all. How 'we thirsted
for knowledge those days ! Do you remem
ber how we used to go out and catch a
lightning-bug to read by?
Next week the Goldberg Animated
Cartoons are coming to Philadelphia for
the first time, and you owe it to Little
Irma, and Myrtle, and Molly, and Mamma,
and Mabeth, and Little Oscar, and Otto,
and Oswald and the others
to gather them all into the sleigh or
something, and take them to the show.
It won't cot over 65 cents.
Little Oscar will burst his little sides
yelling at Goldberg, and it is safe to say
that Mamma and Papa will have their
little laugh, also.
Goldberg, cartoonist of the New York
Evening Mail, has been working for over
a year on his Animated Cartoons. The re
sult is something entirely new in the way
of moving pictures; and the humor of
them well, you know Goldberg. The
Pathe Exchange, one of the world's largest
moving-picture companies, will put out a
new Goldberg movie every two weeks.
