OLDE TYME JUNE REVELS
Irish, English nnd Scotch Songs Given
in Costume
"Ye Oldo Tyme June Hovels,", reviving
old-fashioned yet ever delightful songs and
ballads of Ireland, England, Scotland,
Wnles and Cornwall, In costumes appro
priate to the period nnd location, were
given last ccnlng nt tho Broad Street
Theatre by Mme. Ada Turner Kurtz and
associates.
In conjunction with the diversified lyrical
program wcro given "Flora's Holiday" nnd
"Doiothy's Wedding Day," two modern gong
cycles by II. I.nne Wilson. The former of
theso was sung nnd danced gracefully by
a double quartet of girls and young men.
In this, as well ns In "Dorothy's Wedding
Day," the participants were garbed In
crinolines and knickcrbockcis respectively,
according to gender. Other quaint cos
tumes were nn attractlvo feature of the
program. Thoebo McKay. Frieda Schubel
nnd Thomas Murphy wero clever In
"Flora's Holiday." "
Thusnclda K. Tholey and I,eonetto Heh
fuss were graceful In solo dances, nnd Miss
Rehfuss was particularly Interesting In a
Greek dance.
Hthel Niethnmmer sang In excellent
colorntura fashion, to flute nbbllgnto of
Anton Fischer, the difficult Bishop aria.
"I..O. Hear the Gentle Lark." James Mulr

who sang of lavender nnd distributed the
flowers among (ho audience, nil gave evi
dence of vocal proficiency. Mabel B. nnd
Leone Pursell wcro clever In "Kerry
Dances," nnd Father Kgendorf, with Pro
fessor Le Hoy Fralm nt the second piano,
gave an acceptable rendition of Mendels
sohn's B minor concerto. The final num
ber was nn attractive and historically cor
rect "Morris Dance."
Jack Wilspn nnd Compnny, With
Many N6veltles, Make En
tertaining Show
Belle Story sang herself quickly Into
favor at Keith's last night. She did It
without any fuss or fancy fixings.
It Is considered quite nu fait for singers
to enrry nn exclusive pianist with soulful
eyes and long hnlr. but Miss Story wns
quite content to let the consequences de
pend upon Charllo Schrneder nnd his or
chestra. The result wns highly gratifying.
All tho finesse, the shading nnd expression
of tho songs offered were brought out
nrtlstlcally. Miss Story won numerous
encores, nil thoroughly deserving, nnd wns
easily tho hit of the. bill.
Jumping from tho sublime to the ridicu
lous Jack Wilson was much In evidence.
In addition to reviewing some of the acta
which had preceded him he also did one
of his own. He wns osslsted by Frank
Hum nnd Lillian Boardman, who sang
well between Mr. Wilson's fun.
He dispensed considerable wit and "enr
rled on." It Is to bo regretted th-it his bur
lesquo grand opera finish required him to
appear In tho ballet girl ertect This Idea
was oxtremcly healthy when vaudeville was
young. But the audience laughed, especial
ly tli women, nnd lnughter covers a mul
titude of whims.
The trio took four warranted bows nbout
10j'4G, which, nfter nil, Is going some.
Ono of tho most enjoyable acts on the
entire bill wns that of Hayonne Whipple
nnd Walter Huston, In "Spooks." It dnls
with the troubles of a widow who will be
disinherited unless she has her late hus
band's picture painted on the- front door.
A painter who Is decbrntlng tho house holps
her to win tho money. There Is a great
deal of quiet, easy-going legitimate com;
cdy In this net, which we believe made Its
local debut In the two-n-day clnss.
And It deserves to stay there If wo are
to consider tho views of the audience In the
matter. The Sixteen N'nvassar Girls put
it finishing touch to the show with a num
ber of rollicking martial nlrs Their or
chestral numbers were Interspersed with
vocal solos nnd quartet selections The
act. which Is under tho direction of Miss
Augusta Dial, delivered n solid punch with
tho Anvil Chorus, in which tho fair singers
appeared as blacksmiths with electrical
effects.
Nelson Wnrlng entertnlned 'nt the pl.-inn
nnd sang. Ho received emphatic approval
N'orman Field and Mnry 13. Daniel appeared
In "What Happened to Until " They wcro
assisted by a professional disturber in a
box who brought many laughs.
Ford nnd Urmii offered a decidedly artis
tic singing and dancing act nnd Sam Bar

slight suspicion that ho saw Joe Jackson
nnd had a good look. Tho pictures ore

Hy HARRY 0. HOYT
Head of the Mclro Scenario SfnfT
IP IS difficult' to make the nvetage be
ginner understand that the punch In a
story Is not always violence ; that nt least
tho suspense ought not to end In violence on
cery occasion.
Tho beginner conceives of tremendous
armies In conflict and misses the mother at
homo waiting for news from the front. He
seek tho engines of two oncoming passenger
trains nbout to meet nnd overlooks the
switchman In his tower, who realizes too
late that there Is going to bo n collision
The fire nt sea Is to the beginner a spec
tacle of numerous bonts being launched In
a hurry, with mnddencd crowds trying to
escape, while tho drama with the strongest
appeal Is being enacted in the holler ronni"
below, where heroes toil to keep the boat
going long enough to bench It or to run the
wireless engine long enough to summon
help
In everydny life we have drnmns with
out the melodramatic touch, yet they are
human. Utal, living dramas. They carry
conviction In every detnll In some quiet
garden, radiant with the dawn of a May
morning, may be enacted a scene that would
be stronger than tho most desperate gun
play In n Western mining camp.
The characters may bo people you and I
know. Instead of those wo rend nbout. The
contrast between tho peaceful garden nnd
tho tenseness of n situation enacted there
of Itself makes It stronger.
You don't have to look far nfleld. The
big situations In llfo are right before us
nnd not In some other country. Wo In
Philadelphia nre too prone to write mining
ramp stories, perhaps. They appeal to our
Imagination nnd we can seo mnny Impos
sible situations that would develop to orig
inal climaxes tin tho other hand, the
writers In mining enmps (and thero nre
many) who nrn best qualified to write nbout
their own locale, often pick New York,
which perhaps they havo never seen, ns the
location for their drnmn.
Tho subject wo know best Is always tin
Interesting to us, but we should not tuke
the personal viewpoint. Is It new to some
one else? You know your subject better
than some one else, why not write nbout It?
Another method of hniidllng suspense Is
to resort to the old stngc device of brenklng
tonso dramatic moments with comedy
scenes nnd situations. Of course, It must
not be supposed that It Is proper to write
a comedy scene In the middle of somo dra
matic situation. It would bo highly Im
proper nnd Ineffective to "cut" to -somo piece
of comedy when the emotions of tho nu
dlence aro wrought up by increased bus.
penso and you havo your characters In n
"big scene," so called On tho other hand.
It Is on occasion qulto tho thing to do
Just whero to draw tho line Is a difficult
matter. It Is something that must bo felt,
but which ennnot bo explained,
In writing these lessons I am endeavoring
to help thoso who havo thnt Indefinable
something called dramatic instinct. If you
havo this you will appreciate exactly what
Is meant.
If you havo a certain nmount of sus
pense crented early In your story It some
times becomes difllculty to keep It up. Tho
drama must be developed cnrefully, and
In order to do so It Is often necessary to
drop the suspense for tho time being.
If n comedy situation Is developed It
helps In many ways. The effect Is psycho
logical. It does not Impair the strength of
tho suspense nnd when you return to tho
theme In which you havo developed tho
suspense It Is often heightened by tho
comedy thnt has broken It.
This holds true particularly In melo
drama. We often seo a play that has sus
pense nnd tho punch, but somehow lacks
the force, tho final touch necessary to make
it strong drama. It arouses tho nudlenco's
Interest, but falls to convince nt the end.
Sometimes nn analysis will disclose that
tho play Is too gloomy and morose. It
hasn't enough light In It. It needs contrast.
It needs tho comedy relief. If comedy
touches had been used the drama would
havo been tho stronger. Tho brighter the
sunlight the heavier the shndow.
Tho comedy clement Is the sunlight. It
sets off the drama and Intensifies tho sus
pense nnd the punch.

Questions and Answers
Focus Threo hundred scenes Is not at
all too mrfny for a five-reel feature. Many
have gono far over that.
G. P. U. In writing a scenario always
write action in detail. It also Is advisable
to show the author's conception of tho
characters. It may be true' that directors
and players often Ignore the directions
of tho scenario writer In this regard, but
It the nuthor has a really good hold on his
story he should be able to supply tho best
Idea of Just the sort of people through
whom It will be best expressed. At any
rate, no nuthor can lose by putting his
people clearly, but concisely, before the
editor who passes on his scenario.
S. B. You cannot copyright a scenario nt
present. A bill Is up before Congress now to
pURING the time
& occupied in t h e
erection of our new
building- at 1431-33
Chestnut Street the
