Tho excellent business bclntc udno hera fey th Various amusement enterprises la vets' encouraging to the many managers n brodueers who aro spencllnff their felsuro tlmo here. This, -with tho splendid porta 6f business oh tho road brought here by rhitnaKers who took a clianco and kept their companies 6ut much later than In previous years, convinces every ono that next season Will bd a remarkablo one. It It hi not n prosperous season it Wilt not be the fault of tho men who Ramble on pleasing theatre-ffoers. for they aro piunglnsr on pro ductions tin bettors do at a race track. Something unusunl occurred In this city on the Fourth of July. All tho theatres had capacity housed, when usually visitors spend their tlmo In tho open air. It Bhows that If the publlo has money to-spend for amuse ments durlnjr the torrid month of July it will be liberal In patronage of theatres Whan llie weather is moro suitable for In loot amusements. s Thero are quite n, few new nmusements enterprises here, and those of tho cheaper Jtlnd dolnsr an enormous business. A mon key autodrome, with real llvo monkeys as drivers of miniature automobiles. Is nttract inff attention. Another novelty Is n, new style of baseball practice. A negro perched on tho top of n set of "slippery-day" stairs is plunged Into a pool of water when a "good-eye" baseball thrower hits a target The piers with their children's dancing aearntvals, minstrel and vaudeville shows and other attractions are all doing Welt and all tho theatres aro reporting unusual buslneM. Of courso, tho movies still attract big crowds, as they afford a good placo for many visitors to roBt after a boardwalk tramp and incidentally to take a nap. Tho big hoUls and carbarot Bhows aro running toward theatrical offects. Itovlews, "With lots of feminine stars, are staged more or less effectively on dance floors, spot lights and other theatrical adjuncts being liberally Usod. The Hotel Traymore leads In tho way of oddities for entertainment Two nights last week they gave a rcplloa of Parisian life, with waiters mado up as Apaches, with candies Btuck in bottles for tho lighting effects, with sand on the floor, and with tho menus scribbled on slates. Fashionable folks went wild over this seem ing dip Into tho Blums of Paris. On Inde pendence Day an allegorical reproduction of "Tho Spirit of 'TO" aroused much en thusiasm. Of courso, all of theso events draw crowds so largo that tablo reservations havo to be mado In advance. There was ono new production here this week, that of a three-act comedy entitled, "Just for Tonight" It was written by Avery Bopwood, a clever writer of farco, and produced by Solwy'n and Company. Mar raret Illlngton was starred In tho new play and the rest of tho company Included "Wal ter Jones, Francino Larrimoro, Itay Selwyn, C. Aubrey Smith, Robert Fischer and sev eral others. Tho story of tho play Is a simple one, but It has many odd twists and ..turns which may mako It a success. A husband engrossed In business tmnks no fcan irlvo his wlfo needed diversion by in- troducins his friends nnd allowing them to entertain her. She, in order to cure him, mokes violent lovo to them. The husband, as he puts it, wants to find out how far he will go, and gets a, mutual friend to pursue the lovo-maklng vigorously. Dia logue, bordering on the danger line, was greeted With, many laughs, but the general Impression was that many of tho speeches -were too blunt to pleaso an nverage audi ence. In tho last act a scene patterned after tho Pink Domlnos, but with much moro suggestive talk, was amusing, but voted as a very broad scene. The farce will bo toned down a bit before It goes Into New York, and this can be easily done, as thero aro enough laughs In tho play to make It & success even if some of the raw ma terial la eliminated. Thero aro many well-known theatrical people here, und many more will arrive during the coming week. Mr. and Mrs. Carl Wolf Milter aro due here next week, after spending their honeymoon In Maine. Mr. Miller Is managor of the, Knickerbocker Theatre, Philadelphia, and his wife was XormerlyNAnna Doherty, a member of tho tock company at tho samo house. James Harklns, formerly at tho Chestnut Street Opera House, spent tho week here and. was much elated over his promotion to the management of the Allegheny Theatre, Philadelphia, for next season. Emit Ankermllter, anotbor Philadelphia theatrical product is here after a long tour through the West with a noted star. He will spend the summer between this placo and hla vest-pocket farm at Egg Harbor, N.J, Many of the vaudeville actors playing or spending the summer here play golf at the Country Club every morning, being chaper oned there by Charles Anderson, manager ef Keith's. George Toung, press agent for Keith's Theatre, has his family domiciled In apart ments here and runs down twice a week to ee them and get a dip In the briny. BOB WATT.

Opening under favorable auspices, the Buena "Vista Park, located directly at tho Gloucester City, N. J., terminal of tho Gloucester-Philadelphia ferry, has enjoyed a most successful week. The evening and Saturday and Sunday afternoon concerts in the spacious musio pavilion by tho Metro politan Orchestra, under the direction of A. H. Temme,, havo proven a popular attrac tion. The list of attractions was atltl fur ther augmented yesterday when Grace De Lane began an engagement of limited length at the park. THEATRICAL JOTTINGS One of the most Interesting events of the summer will be tho showing at the Victoria Theatre throughout the week of July 17 of Lois Weber's latest film oreatlon, "Where Is My Daughter?" with Mary MacLaren fea tured as the star. The scennrlo of the play Is by Stella Wynne Herron. and It Is really a free adaptation of Jano Addams' book, "An Ancient Evil," It has received tho full ap proval of the State Board of Censors after ono of the most exhaustive reviews ever given a film. Just how a half-slave shopgirl finally sucoumbed to relentless fate and "sold out for a pair of shoes" Is plctorlally related in "Where Is My Daughter?" With many theatres closed and nothing to do until August the employes of the dif ferent theatres are planning what they con fidently esteem to bo one of tho biggest out door events of tho season. The date Is Saturday, July IE. The place is Central Park, 400 North 6th street The affair will start at 10 a. m., and will run until about midnight There will be a continuous vaudeville and picture show, about 15 local acts taking their summer layoffs, having already volunteered to perform. There will also be an athletic carnival, in which a score of the best local clubs will compete. The show folks are also listed In these events. Two Interesting ball games are also listed. STORM-TOSSED HARMONY THIS OFF TO FRESH WOODS AND PASTURES NEW PHILLY'S FOLLIES COMING EVERY SUMMER Now that "Made in Phllly" has estab lished Itself. It may Interest theatre-goers in this city to know Just why the revue at Keith's was produced, how It was given its title and tho preliminary steps taken to mako It a complete Philadelphia production. Every year New York has Its "Follies" nnd Winter Garden revues. Chicago has been tho producing centre of many big musical shows, which have taken to the road after playing as long as a year in that city, while San Francisco has long been noted for Its homo-town musical productions and stock companies. Philadelphia has seldom seen the Initial performance of a new production, and nothing has ever been attempted In vaudeville that could be called an All-Philadelphia show. The Idea of producing an All-Philadelphia Revue originated with Harry T. Jordan, general manager of the B. F. Keith Intermits in this city, and was carried Into effect with the assistance of Keller Mack, Frank Orth and H. Bart McIIugh. In speaking of the production of "Mado In Phllly," Mr. Jordan sajd: "I am certainly much gratified with the success of the new venture and for the manner in which Philadelphia has respond ed In supporting It There Is no question about Its success and I see no reason why we should not have a 'Summer Follies' in Philadelphia every season. New York and other cities have them and why not our own city which Is one of the moBt Impor tant theatrical centres In the country? Each year wo have the Zlegfeid 'Follies' pre sented here before It goes to New York, but I feel sure that Phlladelphlans would appreciate having their, own revue each year and additional Interest Is added by making It a genuine home-town production such as 'Made in Phllly Is. Every member of the company Is a Fhlladelphlan and It is the first time In tho history of vaudeville In this city that a production of this kind has been given with an All-Philadelphia company. "It la our purpose to make "Made In Phllly' something to talk about, so that It will be looked forward to by our patrons as an annual feature. New faces will be added to the company from time to time and the program changed regularly, In order to keep it up to date and refreshing enter tainment for those who come every week. It's the biggest thing of its kind ever at tempted in vaudeville here, or anywhere else, for that matter, and it Is Indeed great satisfaction to all concerned, Including my self, to know that "Made In Phllly Is a suc cess that Is worthy of its title." IS WHAT HE DOES FOR $670,000 HnHnfjf , " -? , i '.5HHEfliK Wff i i-iiiiywffTwi'B Kivi?w !HhH AND FINALLY Wo havo Mr. Chaplin as "Tho Vagabond," parading across tho screens of the Palace, Victoria, Locust.

The Famous Flayers, however, have made the photoplay, and it will be shown at the Lafayette on Monday, The struggle for first showings, with the Iris a victor In its territory, makes it pos sible for the screening of Chaplin's "Vaga bond" at that theatre on Monday, Another opportunity will be given patrons of the Apollo to see the drat chapter of Blllle Burke in "Gloria's Romance" next Monday, "By request" programs are becoming popular and the Park announces Mary Pick ford In one of her old successes. The comfort of the patrons at tho Bel. mont is always the first consideration of the Feld. brothers.

Many of the scenes were made aboard the United Bute's ' revenue cutter "Woodbury. An added attraction on both Monday and Tues day -will bej Charllo Chaplin In Ida latest creation, "The Vagabond." Pauline Frederick, whoso character Im personations in the productions of "Zaxa" and "Bella Donna" have placed her in the poaltlon of the screen's foremost emotional artist, departs from her customary rote In a ploturfxtUoa pi tha xtml and play yl(Ki'SitHRiH - THE HAND THAT CHARLES' PLAYMATES All members of the Chaplin company.

"Audrey," oonBldercd one of the most popu lar books which Mary Johnston ever wrote. Tho Rlalto will have this play next week. Friday and Saturday nt tho Locust Louiso Lovely will bo presented In "Hor Sacrifice for Lovo." This Ib an adaptation of II. Rider Haggard's novel, "John Mco eon's Will." one of the great author's most pronounced successes. Ono of tho scenes around which tho play Is really built Is tho tattooing of the miser's will on tho white back of a beautiful girl by a half-drunken sailor. The Interior beauty, coolness and com fort and its central location mako tho Ruby one of the most popular of nuramer photoplay houses. Monday William Farnum will bo seen In his famous stage and film success, 'The Man From tho Bitter Roots." With the ending of tho performance to night tho Great Northern closes its doors for tho summer period, after a most suc cessful and satisfactory season. But with the passing of the audiences thero will enter the theatre a small army of work men, who have been engaged to mako ex tensive and elaborate alterations and Im provements during tho period of closure. It is expected that these beautifying changes will all have been completed the latter part of August and the present Intention of the management Is to reopen the theatre early in September, although the exact date has not as yet been decided upon. Seldom has a stronger bill of attractions been offered for a summer week than the one arranged for the Olrard Avenue Thea tre. On Monday an all-star cast In David Belasco's "The Woman," a powerfully con structed drama dealing with present-day conditions ns they apply to the weaker sex, will be the attraction. The comfortable benches In the long lobby of the Market Street Theatre are used dally by the patrons while waiting for seats in side the auditorium. Viola Dana, who wilt be seen at the Savoy next Saturday, is a frequent visitor to this city.
