Many of the vaudeville performers ar
riving1 hero this vrook are showing offers
made by managers of London music 'halls
and English vaudeville theatres for their
services daring the summer. The enlist
ment In the armies of Great Britain At
thousands of performers has caused a
shortage In tho supply of entertainers for
the open theatres. Quite a number of
people who have been offered this work
might havo braved the dangers of an ocean
voyago In these perilous war times, but
when they heard that a war tax of "two
nnd six out of every pound sterling was
exacted from tho salaries of performers
they turned down the offer. This tax
would mean a decrease In all salaries of
1H per cent
Tho famous mcdlclne-ball team of actors
and actresses, which made such a hit on
the beach last summer, has not as yet
managed to secure, a quorum, so tho dally
exercise nnd funfest will not start for an
other week. Many of tho old team are
still playing out extended engagements, but
a few days of hot weather will close up
many theatres, and then tho entire Bquad
will bo here for tho dally meet. '
That capitalists still have faith In At
lanttc, City as a resort whero amusements
are well patronized Is shown by the con
struction of a hugo scenlo railway on the
beach front. It will cost over $80,000, nnd
will bo called tho Ii. A. Thompson Racing
Hallway. A triple shift of workmen Is
now hustling to get the structure finished by
Juno 20 or thereabouts.
By gutting the Interior of tho old Hip
podrome, building a now stago and entirely
reseating the structure, tho Million Dollar
Pier has added another theatre to this ro
BOrt. The car-builders will dedicate tho
new house during their convention by a
high-grade vaudeville entertainment, to be
brought from New York for one night,
nnd which wilt be given solely for the bene

THE DAY IT RAINED

There was but one new production hero
this week, "Tho Double Cure," by Edgar
Eelwyn, first produced at the Apollo Theatre
on May 29, The new offering's fato Is still
In the balance, but the majority report
smacks strongly of failure. The story Ja
unique, although the handling Is danger
ously near the common-place at frequent
Intervals. A successful business mari, with
an Indifferent wifo, listless and Inactive,
calls In a physician to prescribe for her.
Tho wife frankly tells the doctor that her
ills are caused by her husband's lack of at
tention and his plunging Into business at
all hours of the day and night. When a.
report la. made to the man, tho physician
prescribes for the husband Instead of tho
wife, telling him that, ho would regain his
wife's affection If he were a poor man in
stead of a millionaire With the assistance
of his partner the business man then formu
lates a BCheme by which his wife- will be
made to believe that he Is a bankrupt
through stock speculation, nnd when the
wife hears tho story she believes It. pities
her husband, regains her love for him and
agrees to move to the country, where he
can economize nnd regain his fortune. The
supposed bankrupt Is frightfully extrava
gant In tils country home, and tho wife,
learning that ho has lied to her, reveals
the fact that sho was In love with another
man and was about to elope with him when
tho loss of her husband's fortune kept her
from It. ,
A frank, brutal discussion of the "eternal
triangle," between the husband, wlfo and
lover, takes place, and tho husband agrees
to let the wlfo go away with hor lovor. If
there was a punch In the play It was during
this discussion. When the day of separa
tion comes It leaks out that the business
man has really lost his fortune through tho
manipulation of stock news by the lover
and the wife turns back again to the hus
band, ending the play happily, A clever
cast of eight people did tho best they could
with the material. Lewis S. Stone was
featured as the husband, Christine Norman
played th.e part of the wife. Lionel Atwell
the part of the lover, Albert Brunlng that of
the physician, Francis Byrne, the business
partner, nnd Guy Bragdon, Sidney Chon
and June Janln the smaller parts'.
' That there are a number of music lovers
here Is proven by the fact that two cars
have been chartered for next Tuesday for
a party of oyer a hundred people who will
attend the out-door production of "Alda,"
to be given by the University of Pennsyl
vania. They will return here on tho mid
night train.

Probabty tlio youngest operatic conductor
In this country Is John Curtis, Jr., of Phila
delphia, who next Monday night will con
duct a periormnnce
of "Trial by Jury" at
Haddonfleld, tho per
formance to be given
for tho benefit of tho
Camden fresh-air fund.
Thin, however, Is Uie
least of his activities.
When but 17 years
old, and a pupil at the
Central High School,
ho organized a boys'
orchcBtra of 24 pieces,
which, under his baton,
appeared In several
concerts, nnd was for
short summer soa-
JOHN CUllTIS. JH. son in vnudoville. In
this way they wcro so successful that a win
ter engagement was offered them, but de
clined bociuso all tho playors had returned
to school.
Tho orchestra, however, continued, was
gradually enlarged nnd girls wore ad
mitted, It became tho Philadelphia Boys
and aids' Orchestra, and under the di
rection of CurtlB gavo several concerts,
two of them of symphonies. Tho title of
the orchostra was changed nt the begin
ning of tho season Just closed to tho Junior
Symphony Orchestra nnd adlllatcd with
the Hyperion School of Musla It will again
appear, with Curtis conducting. In Musical
Fund Hall this evening.
Curtis' ability as a conductor attracted
wide and favorable attention among musi
cians. When tho Bohrens Opera Club was
organized two years ngoj ho became a mem
ber, as accompanist, but Musical Directors
Ludwlg Schmidt Pabrl and Cesare Sturant
appointed him their assistant, and Fabrl
assigned him tho task of conducting the
ballet, "DIo Puppcnfeo," when It was pro
duced with "Tho Maglo Flute" at the
Academy, Fabrl conducting the opera. Cur
tis' artistry on this occasion won him wide
praise and the heartily oxpresed approval
of the E0 members of the Philadelphia Or
chestra who played.
During tho last season, he has been
nssoclate musical director of the Bohrens
Opera Club, and has had entire chargo of
tho rehearsals of "Cavallerla Bustlcana,"
which will be sung In the Metropolitan
Opera House next fall. Tho ballet, "Cop-
pella," which will be given with the opera,
will be conducted by Curtis, and Mr.
Sturanl, after noting his work with the
chorus and principals, has expresed the
desire to see him conduct the opera as
well, saying that he Is a more than ordi
narily able opera conductor.
Curtis Is 22 years old. He Is the son
of John Curtis, originator of the plan of
giving grand opera with amateurs In a pro
fessional way. His mother was Miss Caro
line Potter, of QermantoWn.

Adding 2000 Supers to
the Charms of
Pavlowa
Ince Shows New York
His Great Film,
"Civilization"
Up Special Correspondent
NEW YOItlC, June 3, A beautiful gar
den spot in a quiet peaceful vale, laughing
children, Joyful lovers, good-natured field
hands BUCh was tho opening scene of the
allegorical preludo to Ince's elaborate film
specialty, "Civilization," shown at the Cri
terion for the first time last night. In this
vale of peace and love suddenly a shell
bursts and all Is consternalton ; peace, won
derful peace, has been replaced by grim
war!
The opening scenes of the cinema spec
tacle Itself are much tho same. From this
peaceful beginning, ono Is taken Into the
preliminary, preparations for war, the
declaration, tho first battles, defeat, grim
horrible reality of what the red tide of war
really means. The great league for peace,
the "mothers of men," striving meanwhile
to have the king, who would be all power
ful, stop the acrlflce of their husbands.
Bans and sweethearts.
Here Mr, Ince, master of dramatic de
tail, gives us wonderful scenes of battle;
trenches, artillery, aeroplanes, and all the
modern instruments of destruction. But
greater than these Is tho newly perfected
submarine, the Invention of a royal naval
officer. This officer being converted by his
sweetheart, a "woman of the people," sacri
fices his own life and that of his com
panions on the submarine rather than de
stroy a ship carrlng'women and children.
The second part of the spectacle deals
with the coming back to earth of the
Christ in the body of apparently dead
Count. He preaches "Peace on earth, good
will to men" In a country red with the war
hate. After being stoned and cast into
prison by the king as a traitor. He dies, and
the king, visiting his cell, is taken spiritual,
ly out Into the war-racked reaches of his
own kingdom by Hlrjj who worked for
peace. The mothers of men are mean,
while before the palace beseeching peace
and the restoration of their loved ones.
The king, seeing what he has wrought in
his desire to be all powerful, returns to his
palace humbled and chastened and signs
the treaty of peace presented by his foes.
And his armies return home to the tune
of the world's greatest anthem, "The
Laughter of. Uttta Children."
This ptctura will live through the ages
as one of the greatest arguments for "peace
on earth" that has yet been presented, and
no one who hA vteWed the spectacle will
ever forget Its teachings.
The Need of Wealth
rpHB development of the drama
and the Btage, 03 well us that of
all the Ana arts, la dependent upon
the development of wealth. The
chances for artistic development in
the United States will be relatively
greater because of the loss of wealth
which is now going on in Europe.
I like to think of the words of the
great man of the theatre, gir Henry
Irving, in this relation. He said;
"Without money, without art: with-
out 8rt without money." William
Vavtrtham.
The newest of screen apoctacles to bid
for Philadelphia popularity is "Tho Dumb
Girl of Portlcl," which comes to tho For
rest Monday. In producing It the Uni
versal forces did not rely alone upon the
popularity of Anna Pavlowa, who mimes
the principal part, but employed thousands
of supers In elaborate settings. The prob
lems met In tho handling of tho crowds
were, to say the least, interesting.
Altogether there were about 2000 persons
In tho Neapolitan street scenes principals,
soldiers, nobles, flsher folk nnd villagers,
and they wero marvelously handled by the
producers, Lois Weber and Phillips Smalley.
Miss HTebcr, America's most distinguished
woman producer and creator of 'Hypo
crites," would confer with Phillips Smalley,
after which he would Issue his orders to
the great crowd of participants through a
megaphone and with the aid of neld tele
phones, which had been stationed at various
points. In this manner the chances of
troubles were minimized, nnd tho scenes
Vera enacted most satisfactorily and .with
out a single hitch. Seven cameras were
In operation. Tho clnematographers, all
experts, In view of the magnitude of the
production, were stationed In different parts
of the set, and the results obtained were
especially gratifying to the producers.
One day during the taking of sqme of
the scenes for this production former Gov
ernor John M. Slaton, of Georgia, looked on
with great Interest He 'was stationed on
a high platform, and as he looked on In
amazement he exclaimed, "Very wonderful.
Indeed! This Is certainly remarkable."
Standing near him was tho Most Reverend
E. Qlllow, Archbishop of Oaxaca, Mex,,
who was olso u spectator of the making
of tho scenes, and who, with aovernor
Slaton, was a guest at Universal City, of
the Universal Film Manufacturing Com
pany, "Remarkable, very remarkable, I
must sayl" he1 exclaimed as he watched
the fierce battle In the Neapolitan streets.
"I never Imagined that movlng-plcture pro
ducers used such great care In their work."
Some of the earlier scenes In this great
production were taken In Chicago at the
old Sans Soucl Gardens. This Is located
next to the Midway Hardens, and was
chosen In order that Anna Pavlowa, who
was appearing at the Midway at tho time,
might also be near the studio. All of the
Interiors for "Tho Dumb Girl of Portlcl"
were taken at the temporary studio which
had been erected at the Sans Soucl Gardens.

Barrie Proves That
Shakespeare Was a
Scotchman
A New Band at Woodside
Park
The genius of Sir James Matthew Bar
rie, his whimsical humor and his gift for
poetlo fantasy have not been dimmed In
all the tumult and shouting Incident to
the alarums of the great war. For during
this theatrical season he has given London
three new plays. The latest, "Shakespeare's
Legacy," was presented for the first time
at a royal war matinee at Drury Lano re
cently. No woman ever agreed in her soul that
It Is better to be good than beautiful, sir
James iDarrle now polltaly confirms their
belief that they- ara all lovely, simply be
cause they are good.
He modestly does not claim this discov
ery for himself. He Is content with the
lesser 'glory of revealing to the world that
Shakespeare who knew this, as he knew
all things was not a Oerman after all, but
a Scotsman I The Irrefutable evidence of
this, and much besides, has been packed Into
the little play,. "Shakespeare'e Legacy,"
There Is a play within n play, a succes
sion of whimsical fancies and quaint sur
prises. We have a honeymoon couple In
the first bliss of homecoming, the traglo
suspicion of a. doubt, the tearful confession
of a Becret, some delicious fun at the ex
pense of the beauty experts and projected
Into this a vision of Queen Elizabeth slap
ping the face of Mary Queen of Scots, who
nearly forfeits her good looks In her desire
to hit back.
To analyse this would ba like resolving
a dewdrop Into Its elements. Suffice It to
say that Miss Lily Elsie, most elfish of
brides, confesses to her horror-stylcken hus
band, Mr. Gerald du Maurler, that her
graceful 'medium" figure was won at the
expense of a sacrificed lover not himself
and that the curtain falls on a recon
ciled pair, the only flaw In whose happiness
la ths uncertainty whether the lovely "me.
dlum" figure Is to become over plump or
scragglly thin.
William Bayno and his 69th Regiment
Band of New York replaced Kryl's munic
ipal organization yesterday at Woodside
Park after a series of successful concerts
by tho latter.
The now band conductor enjoys tho dis
tinction of being tho only bandmaster In
New York State paid a yearly salary by
the Etato. Leader Bayne Is tho dean of
band conductors In tho New York National
Guard, and owing to the excellence of hln
band, It Is selected to furnish the music at
all tho State functions. Including the In
auguration of the Governors and nearly all
events of Importance In New York city,
which Is the headquarters for tho band.
Leader Bayne has selected as his soloist
Miss Edna Wallace Kinney, a well-known
and successful Philadelphia contralto, who
has appeared many times In connection
with band and orchestras In this and other
cities with marked success.
The voting contest for the most popular
school teacher has brought out many school
children to vote for their favorite teacher.
The youngsters will havo an opportunity

have received votes ranging from 15 to 300
each, and the Indications point to a marked
Increase in the number of votes cast dur
ing the closing week of the competition.
