Time turned bnckward 317 years last
night. Tho gay blnded of London Towne,
with tholr ladles falre, strolled Southwark
way and pnltl tholr pittance to see and
hear nn unknown playwright's effort to
amuse. It wns a nervous night for the
nuthor, none other than our own Will
Shakespeare Tho Globe Theatre had risked
his maiden piece. "Comedy of Errors."
So It seemed last night The Phlloma
thean Society had contributed Its bit to tho
torcontonary celebration. It had built a
reproduction of the Old Globe Theatre,
with Its pit open to the sky ; Its stage, sans
Bconlc effect. And t hero it presented that
first delicious bit from tho pen of tho man
who later, with hl3 quill, was to tickle tho
world and make It laugh; Jab It, and make
it cry.
Tho placo of presentation could not have
been better chosen. Tho reproduction of
the Globo Theatre had been built In tho
Botanical Gardens of the University of
Pennsylvania, and the way there wns
through dlm-Ilt lanes, overhung with
branches and greenery, such lanes as Lon
don hnd with its sputtering lanterns when
Shnkcspearo wroto for all tlmo. Tho nudl
once, In the pit, sat with heads bared to a
blue vaults of heaven nnd came away with
better health for the hours spent In tho
Inclosed open with that skilful Shakespeare
wag.
Glory be that the humnnlty of 1590 Is tho
humanity of 1916. Change there be In
raiment, but not In impulso or emotion.
Old Adam has tho selfsame mainspring
now ns then. Will Shakespeare, might
have scrawled his comedy play yesternight
so well did his quips and Jests glovelike
fit his audltoraof today.
A merry prologue, full of philosophy as
a walnut of meat, came pell-mell from, tho
brain of Prof. Follx E, Scholllng, through
tho mouth of a most excellont and enter
taining fool. Then the play was on, nnd
the play was the thing.
No scene shifting at the Globo In 1599.
Then, as last night, a bustling lad hustled
out, put up a placard telling the Imagina
tion of the next scene and act represented,
and so Bwift was tho action, so keen tho
dialogue, so witty the actor lads and lassies,
that no sense of loss was experienced.
Tho excellent cast had been thoroughly
drilled by Percy Winter, and It gave a
presentation that mado the. heart long for
mora of It, for a return of the days when
tho stago did not bewilder the eye and
stun the senses with a riot of color and
noise and movement, but made Its Bole'and
satisfactory appeal to heart and brain.
Between acts, as In ye olde time, there
were gay dances. These dancers had been
drilled by G. Ellwood Carpenter. And there
was strange, stirring barbarlo music from
an orchestra conducted by Karl It. Alden.
The performances aro continued tonight
and every night this week, with matinees
on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Sat
urday afternoons.
The Phllomathean Society Is an organiza
tion of Pennsylvania students, and quite
an excellent organlaztlon it is. Particu
larly well done were the parts of the
Dromlos, Interpreted by Park B. Turner and
F, DoWaters ; Sollnus, by Edward AnschuU ;
Aegon, by L. II. Harris, and tho Antipholls
of Syracuse, by It. Bevls Lord. The work
of all the women Indicated that they cap
tured the spirit of the times they portrayed.

In the theorv and oractlce of girl shows
the producers of "Town Topics" are expert
and skilful. Others may have prejudices
In favor of this typo or that. Others may
choose, select and adjust. But the producers
of "Town Topics" simply nil up. The rea
son for the existence of n girl show Is girls.
"Town Topics" has a renson.
On the face of It you can figure It out
that If ybu start with SIlsi Lola Josephine
you can go to any minimum ot beauty and
stllL run true to form. Jllsa Josephine Is
lovely to look at, sings well nnd dances
beautifully. Mentioning no names It Is safe
to say that she makes up for a certain num
bor who are only fair to look at nnd for a
small number who glo no pleasure to the
eye. But every one dances willingly nnd
well, sings with the vigor and voice granted
by fate, and does her little best to bo amus
ing Mtis Mabel Klalne Is qulto successful
In her hurlcsquo vaudeville nklt, and Miss
Sophie Tucker In her Bytvesterschncfferlngs.
Somewhere near tho end of the show there
Is a $30,000 fashion pnrade, too magnificent
for mascullno description, but not too won
derful to be appreciated gaspingly nnd
with a hand on tho pocket for fear of Im
mediate appeals.
A review of, this sort depends on two
things, Its specialties and Its gonernl nunllty
of go. In tho II rat requirement, besides tho
fashions, "Town Topics" presents a Creole
ragtime band, which Is wonderful ; an amus
ing scone back stage, tho launching of a
ship, the ball grounds, where tho New York
Otants, formerly of thu National League,
play, a subway train In motion nnd several
others In most of these Bert Leslie looms
about and makes rough jokes neat, nnd all
of them aro full of tho first lino of defenses,
A little bit less successful aro the personal
specialties', Including Messrs. Mohllnger and
Johnston, who aro Eugcno and Willie How
ard without the unction. As for go, tho
whole thing Is shot off at a dizzying and
very exhilarating speed, tho Jokes aro not
always repeated or pointed out to rustic vis
itors as curiosities, the music Is bang-up,
and If tho words were Intelligible they might
bo amusing There Is no plot, thank good-nes-.
"Town Topics" has had a varied his
tory and it would not be a bad Idea If tho
producers of It realized that the Ford peace
ship sailed many moons ago, that Jokes
made for Central Park West are not par
ticularly clever when spoken north of City
Hall, nnd that oven the repetition of stale
Jokes under the pretense of showing them
up Is already a bit stale. Jir. Lcsllo Is llko
Miss Josephine. Ho has so many queer
turns nnd quaint sayings that the rest can
do Just about what they please. They do,
but thoy do not always please. That tho
whole show docs, In a very high degree, la
probably duo to tho party of tho first part.
Concerning which tho flrst paragraph Is
sufflcient. O- V. S.

BESSIE CLAYTON TOPS
GOOD SHOW AT KETTH'S
Nlmblo Dancer, Who Began Ca
reer In This City, Offers an
Artistic Surprise
If there were such n thing aa conferring a
college degree for dancing, orierWoUld un
doubtedly be bestowed upon Bessie Clayton.
She Is at Keith's this week In .an offering
which might be called the evolution of
dancing.
Consistency Is one of tho great assets of
the gifted dancer. Her dances toll a story.
In nddltloii to the ability to carry out her
Ideas, there Is a stamp of sincerity- about
her work which shows that sho enjoys her
dances as much as the audlonce. There
fore, the work Is a pleasure, When danc
ing even looks like work, then tho magic
spell Is shattered.
One can readily realize on seeing Miss
Clayton dance why she was for many sea
sons one of the big attractions of the all
star Weber and Field show on Broadway.
She Is assisted by Lester Sheehan and tho
Clayton sextet of musicians. Tho "pre
miere danscuse" offered a gavotte of M(f,
Argentine, Maxtxc, Vatse Variation, a hesi
tation on the toes and the Claytonette,
The act throughout was spick and span,
with an atmosphere of tasteful coloring and
quiet elegance. Tho audience showered
hearty approval.
There was another event worthy of apo
dal notice. At 11 o'clock last njght, when
the audience wns beginning to think of
home, Al Herman walked on tho stago nnd
reopened tho entire proceedings. This Is his
Philadelphia debut on tho "two-a-day." Mr.
Herman has been a "two-n-day" act for
years, but no ono seemed to realize It but
the audience.
Just whwy tho New York vaudovllle fao-
ulty did not glvo him his diploma for tho
big time long ngo Is a matter of conjectu'ro.
He Is billed as tho "nsgas'sln of grief" and
lives up to It. His Confidential Bcandal
about tho other nets wns ono of his cholco
bits nnd reminded ono of tho gabby neigh
bor who knows tho gossip of tho neighbor
hood cyclonic applause caused Mr. Herman
to take five warranted bows.
"Petticoats," a comedy by John B Hymer,
was rewarded with an abundance of laughs
It was well presented by Grace Dunbar
Nile, Ituth Hart, Carol Italston, Paul Stan
ton and David Lovono.
Something entirely now was unfolded by
Albert Wholan, of Australia. Ho whistled
and Bang nnd played a home-made fiddle.
But ho did all these things so well that ho
"stopped the show" with applause. Tho
Sharrocks entortalnod nnd myBtlflcd ; How
ard, Klbcl and Herbert sang, talked nnd
quarreled with good results. Tho Inter
national Girl was a sartorial delight, and
tho Musical Johnsons and Hess nnd Hydo
wero also present.
Incidentally, tho Keith orchestra with
Charles Scnracda and tho new drummer,
whoso name wo do not know, accepted
many chances and helped put over sovoral
hits.
Thore was plenty of news In tho pic
tures. J. G. C.
Emmctt Welch Nixon Grand
Emmett Welch, tho man with tho over
lasting voice, and his minstrels, all Phila
delphia brand, won new laurels on tho head
lino spot at tho Nixon Grand. Mr, Welch
sang a number of songB of tho kind which
tend to awaken conscience and make ua,
square accounts with mankind.
Russ Kelly and Joe Hnmllton, on tho
ends, added Just enough comedy to contrast
with the sentiment dispensed by the solo
ists. The act was well received.
Smith and Farmor won many laughs
with an odd offering of good comedy. Joe
Flynn told funny stories, nnd others on tho

C1L4S. CHAPLIN SPREADS
JOY AND DRY GOODS
"The Floor Walker," First of
New Films by Half-million-a
dollar Comedian
By tho Photoplay Editor
There Is only one Charlie, and tho Lona
Star Corporation is the P"1 "h,,? Zl
him half a million a year and spreads his
shoes, his cane and his mustache , oyer tho
screens of the Palace, tho Victoria, tho
LocVist, the Alhambra and tho Gcrmantown
all In a single day.
After the artistic fiasco of Chaplin s so
called burlesque of "Carmen," he has come
bafck with all his old-time grace and vir
tuosity In "Tho Floor Walker." Tho pos
sibilities of olovators, parcel-carriers, cloth
ing dummies, cupless fountains and plies
and piles and piles of pasteboard boxes ho
has plumbed them all. More, he has quali
fied for the degree of Bachelor of Science
by his masterly researches Into tho opera
tion of moving stairways. Those five min
utes when ho tries to escapo tho proprietor
by running down an escalator with tho up
lift In Its blood, aro hilariously remindful
of tho good old days of Keystone Ingenuities.-
Indeed, half a dozen mechanical ex
travagances In "Tho Floorwalker" and tho
announcement that tho next Lbno Star
Mutual releaso will bo "Tho Fireman," glvo
promlso that Chaplin Is going back to that
extraordinary Inventiveness which has al
ways been tho fine flower of tho movlo
slapstick.
And Chaplin remains, In addition, n
comedian all by himself. A lono star, in
deed, There Is n good deal of tho cleverness.
Imagination and humor of "The Habit of
Happiness" ln tho now Fino Arts-Trlanglo
plcturo, "Susan Hocks tho Boat," which
came to the Arcadia yesterday. Its custom
ary climax of young-Iady-purBUod-by-gang-ster
Is told with tho cuBtomary amount of
"punch." But tho incidents that lead up
to It tho account of a society girl who
decides to be the Joan of Aro of tho slums
havo four or five times tho ingenuity of
prcBontntlon that ordinarily go into these
long Introductions. Kvery Inch is human,
plausible and yet novel in some anglo of
approach. t
To tako a slnglo point, the girl's deter
mination to embrace this now fad of "up
lift" is shown with singular sympathy and
yet kept within tho humorous range of tho
wholo story by three visions of Joan of
Arc, which sho gets from reading her life.
Tho delicacy of beauty ln theso visions
fades Into tho upright, passionate llttlo fig
ure of Dorothy Glsh. Then sho moves or
some relative enters and tho double key
of serious llfo and satiric humor Is struck.
The Interest of "Susan Bocks tho Boat"
Is high nnd even. Tho admlrablo acting of
Miss Glsh, Owen Mooro and a long cast
helps to keep it so, while tho detail of
lighting and Interiors Is admirable.
Tho last half of tho week tho Arcadia
will show W. S. Hart in "Tho Primal Luro."
Acting stands out of "Allen Souls," tho
now Lasky-Paramount film which camo to
tho Stanley yesterday for a week's stay. It
Is largely tho acting of Sessuo Hayakawa,
though Tsuru Aokl, Earlo Foxo and Graco
Benham glvo oxcellont support. Tho
Japanese player's repression, clear-cut tech
nique nnd Interesting personality roglstor
with as much power ns ln "Tho Cheat," al

A Service That
Really Serves
There are two sides to this idea of
automobile service.
One is the service the car gets.
The other is the service it gives.
We're equipped in our Philadelphia Serv
ice Station for every kind of mechanical
service Maxwell owners need. No matter
where or when the car was bought. No
matter whether the trouble is big or little.
But the big thing is the service the Maxwell
gives. For the greater the service a car will,
give, the less it requires at the hands of the
repair man.
( Here's the Maxwell service record fully
authenticated by the American Automobile
Association.
Maxwell World' Non-Stop Record Facta

Average milea per day (44 days) 500.6

In Philadelphia the Maxwell service sta
. tion is in charge of anexpert and devoted
exclusively to service on Maxwell cars.
Our Pay-As-You-Ride Plan
makes it unnecessary for you o postpone the
pleasure of driving your own car. Come in
and ask us about it.
Don't put it off. We have a, few cars on
hand and can take orders now for immediate
or future delivery. No promises can be made
against; an increase in price.
