Adelaide and Hughes, Artistic
Dancers, Head Entertain
ing Show
There are Just twt points to "The Dev
il's Invention" on which a patent mlriht be
leaned. One Is the loneliness which comcB
to the wife of a young doctor-sclentltt
who has his head set on succes-j Instead
of ills heart on love. Tha other Is the
situation that arises -when a middle-need
surgeon must operate on a beloved young
colleague who has taken bichloride of
mercury under the delusion that this lone
liness (which Is the devil's Invention) has
diverted his wlfo's affections to the elder
man.
These two points aro developed simply,
sincerely. They a$e not overstated, oer
sentlmentallzed or pushed to emotional
extremes.
The first act puts the people concerned
cjearly before us. Thoy aro not people
set apart from others of the theatre by
any large amount of indh lduallzatlon, but
within their types they havo a ory
plausible existence As a consequence,
they receive our respect and attention,
and when the young husband chances
upon a bit of platonto sentiment which he
misconstrues, ho wins our ready sym
pathy for his nervous, desperate exit, us
well as our surprise and our thankfulness
for neglecting a chance for the customary
frenzied vituperations.
The second act shows the husband two
days later, poisoned, back nt his labora
tory, ready for death as a lcarlous Judg
ment on the unfaithful. The Intercessions
of a friend, tho wife, and finally the other
doctor are well handled to create tenso
emotion without melodrama. It may be
questioned whether tho customary an
nouncement of an approaching child Is
what "A Pair of Silk Stockings" would
call quits cricket In a 20th contury play,
but It is handled with the same restraint
that dlstlnqulshes tho other scenes of "Tho
Devil's Invention," and It makes a good
moment out of the young man's refusal to
let himself, be saved by the man whom
he thinks tho father of tho child i:en
a little mora emphasis on this point
might bo well to build up tho power of the
elder physician's curtaln-stde decision to
operate.
The third act, outsldo somo comic and
sentimental relief from threo minor char
acters, docs little moro than allow tho
elder man to heal the spiritual wounds,
as well as the physical, by telling of tho
reason for tho Platonic sentiment tho dis
covery that tho girl's mother was tho
woman ho left to loneliness, and another,
that he, too, might follow the path of
fame.
The faults of "The Devll'B Invention,"
as well as Its patentable virtues, aro two.
It Is short winded as well as restrained. Tho
excellent self-possession of Messrs. Freybo
and Moderwell Is not employed, as It de
serves, upon a theme, a plot, a dramatic
structure, of stzo and power The simple
postulate of loneliness and mistaken In
fidelity takes only 35 or 40 minutes to
state. Tho Bceno of the husband's re
turn, leading up to the operation, runs to
SO minutes. Tho rcconcllatlon. Including
10 minutes of ex post facto comic relief,
takes no moro.
Now the American stage has never had
a. place for the short play and that is the
second count against 'The Devil's Inven
tion. It isn't in the ordinary theatrical
sonaa of the word an evening's money's
worth. In Franco it might be Cut still
moro to the bone, Jt m.lsht pass for n bit of
Grand Gulgnolerle with a happy ondlng.
Or with tho comic compromises removed. It
might serve as a respected and Interesting
study of ona vital moment In three ptoplo's
lives, an hour and a half's drama to spilt a
bUL But America, unfortunately, perhaps,
wants a few more "punches" for Its nickel
Mr, Von Seyffertltz has given tho play
at uo uroaa one or. nis usual careful and
Intelligent productions. It Is unpretenti
ous, unflnlcky. Tho settings suggest good
taste rather than a fat pocketboolc The
cast is aa skilfully gqt together Mr von
Seyffertltz himself plays the elder physi
cian with a plausible distinction. Richie
Line. Katherine Emmet, Fulton Russell
and Joseph Brcnnon make the most of
small parts. Eileen van Blene, as the wife.
Is as charming as ever and adds a simple
share of emotion to her natural talents.
There Is a fascinating child personality in
Violet da Blccerl. Finally, William B.
Made, after a long series of addictions to
various sorts of dope, finds bichloride poi
soning as easy a medium as any for loos
ing the curious and powerful type of emo
tion of which he is master. Unfortunately,
ho Is hardly convincing or interesting in
tha sober everyday of the first and last
acts. And there la where "The Devil's In
vention" itself stands most in need of help.
But perhaps it is the dramatist, not
the actor, who must supply it. IC M.
If yovi flare seen an net before, keep the
fact to yourself when nt a vaudeville
show. At least do not announce what Is
coming next for Hie benefit of those
around ou As a rule, most acts explain
themselves without advance agents In the
nuellcnco.
It Is too bad that somo sort of an an
nouncement like this cannot bo printed on
theatre programs to silence tho pests,
male and female, who believe that end
lcrs gabble Is essential to tho welfare of
nil theatrical performances.
There were two such creatures nt
Keith's last night, who marred the enjoy
ment of many around them Mho came to
witness tho show unaided. The bill wns
Up to the high-water mark Iri vaudeville
and there were many good things for
varied taste. Adclaldo and Hughes, who
might justly bo called peers of the poetry
or motion, Introduced a novel pantomime,
called "Tho Cat and tho Canary "
Mlsi Adcltlde mnde rnther a bewitch
ing bird nnd Mr Itughe wan an agile
nnd decidedly graceful cat They cn
nctcd a slmplo little tragedy, In which
tho canary, nftcr p'nylng vvlth tho cat,
suddenly falls dead Tho cat is heart
broken He carries the llttlo canary Into
Its mire nnd tries to rovlvo It When
convinced that tho bird fs dead tho poor
cat dies of grief.
Prior to tho pantomime, tho dancers
presented several artistic numbers Thoy
were rewarded with prolonged applauso
Miss Anna Wheatan. a dainty girl with
a winning smile, offered a number of ex
clusive songs with tho assistance of Harry
Carroll, who presided at tho piano Mr..
Carroll Is tho author of many song hits
Ho sprinkled tho net with many of them
last night, and offered soma new ones
which sounded as though they might bo
as successful as their predecessors Ho
and Miss "Wheaton make a decidedly
formidable vaudeville pair Tho fact
that they "stopped the show" with ap
plauso Indicates that they may soon
shino In tho Incandcscents.
And then there was N'onette It Is
doubtful If there Is a better single act In
vaudeville Hxcellent violinist, very good
singer, very nlcaslng .irsonillty If ou
only give her thlrty-tn. e and a third per
cent for each of these auBcts sho is a
hundred per cent good oven then
A story with a now Idea Is unfolded by
Dorothy Rcgel and company In ' Tho Girl
at the Cigar Stand" Tho sketch q very
much better than tho title and has those
quick surprises which thrill nnd pleaso at
tho same time It also has an excellent
moral Supporting Miss Rcgel Is a capa
ble cast. Including John Dougherty, Arthur
do Ford, Murjorlo Campbell and Ralph
Llngley.
The I'rlmroBo Four lived up to past per
formances. Their 1000 pounds of har
mony, dispensed by rotund singers, was
well distributed
Allan Dlnetmrt and company presented
a truo-to-llfo Bketch, In which Miss Mary
Louise Dyer gavo excellent support.

By the Photoplay Editor
The German war movies, which came
to the Chestnut Street Opera House yes
terday afternoon under the title "Deutsch
wchr Pictures," nro In somo ways re
lated to the expanded edition of "Tho
Spollors," which turnod Up nt the For
rest Inter In the evening. They are fa-
miliar ana iney aro mure t,uw. ..
Whether that Is nltogether an advantage
Is nnother matter.
Tho bulk of tho war pictures belle the
word "new," though they have manifestly
not been shown hero beforo. They havo
been seen, however and that Is the Im
portant point In tho doieni of pictures
of marching armies nnd herded prisoners,
guns firing and towns destroyed, generals
and knlscrs and gooso steps at Inspection,
which havo becrr flung on tho screens of
tho city since tho war began. They nre
all Interesting enough to the average play
goer, bht they aro not In the real senso
novel.
They nro, In tho present case, moro
elaborate. T,he marching armies aro
longer, tho Inspections more thorough, the
prlsonors moro numerous ono sign, nt
lenst, that tho war Is well under way
and running smoothly.
But nil this neglects one unique nnd
nbBorblng part of the new war fllmB
their views of crippled German soldiers
going about their ordinary antebellum
Jobs with tho nld of n wooden arm or
falso legs and going about them vvlth
amazing skllfulncss
'Tho Spoilers" Is hero ngaln. Accord
ing to tho sign outsldo tho Forrest The
atrc. It Is n new edition. In truth It Is
merely tho original version, replacing tho
cuts made by tho Sellg Company when
It released tho, film a few years ago In
nlno reels Tho present edition la In 12,
but for all that there Is not a single
necessary addition or really vital detail
shown In tho extra three reels They nro
mainly used up by Introducing tho cast
nt tho opening, a few added details of
sovcral Bcenes between Cherry Malotto
nnd Roy Glenlster and a longer Journey
on tho boat on tho way to Nome Tho
film Is not tho least Improved by the ad
ditions, nor Is It any tho worse. It Is
still a thrilling melodramatic movie on
a very big scale
Any cast that Includes William Far
num, Thomas Santskl, Besslo Ejton,
Kathlyn Williams and Will Oakmnn In
sures remarkably flno acting, for the pho
toplay presented, "Tho Spoilers," was, Is
