"BHITH OF A NATION"
STILL FASCINATING
Arcadia, Stanley, Regent
Ruby Offer New Film
Programs
and
By the Photoplay Editor
They who escape romance, do so at the
loss of an Immortal crown. Thus George
Meredith. He never saw "The Birth of
a Nation" and thcrellB nothing to prove
he would have enjoyed It. But what ro
mance is there: and how It endures I Yes
terday the famous film came to town, for
the last time, on this occasion opening the
season at the Chestnut Street Opera House.
The photoplay editor "dropped in" for five
minutes and stayed for tin hour and a
half so compelling is tho force animating
D. W, Griffith's greatest motion picture.
"Intolerance" Is not excepted In that state
ment. For 'The Birth of a Nation" has what
"Intolerance" has not : a well-focused. In
tense story, the tragedy- of a lost cause,
the beauty of belief In a theme that all
do not believe In. Its cunning balancing
of Incident: Us extraordinary character
painting; Its moments erf holy grief and
passionate revenge these make It un
paralleled. It Is a wonder and a delight
oven when one has seen It a dozen times.
There was present a large audience which
"took sides" with old-time enthusiasm, and
united In applause of crucial points.
With a bit of fall snap In the air, the
acres of snow which Mr. Ince managed to
dig up for "The Dawn Maker," at the
Arcadia, are more than welcome. In many
ways, they are the best part of the new
Triangle film, so far as novel angles go. W,
S. Hart plays an Indian half-breed with the
thorough artistry which he has customarily
given to western preachers and bad men.
and he receives excellent support from Wil
liam Desmond and Blanche White. But the
story of this drama of the Canadian North
west seems just a lttle thin. It Is straight
forward enough ; we learn of the love of
Joe Elk. half-breed and son of a chief, for
the factor's daughter, and we see the sacri
fice by, which he saves her and her nance
from death In the winter wilderness. But If
there were any tremendous moments In the
brlglnal script, the censor has removed
them. Undeniably, the snow scenes and the
Indian details amply compensate, however.
The Stanley showed yesterday, In "The
House of I.les," a film not up to the usunt
high standard of the house. And this In
spite of the fact that the new Morosco
Paramount featuro contains some of the
finest photography nnd the mast beautiful
"locations" ever shown on local screens.
Director William D. Taylor has done ex
traordinarily well. But oh I what a
scenario'! From start to finish It Is either
wildly Impossible or sentimental In the
I -aura Jean Llbbey vein. Let us draw the
critical veil and congratulate Mr. Taylor
once more on his genuine artistry. The
general level of production In Mr. Morosco's
Alms has been steadily rising. In 'The
House of Lies" he has the most satisfying
optical display that he has yet achieved.
Edna Goodrich was well supported.
'The Revolt," as a play of some sea
sons ago, was rather a poor play. 'The
Revolt," as a World-Brady photodrama at
the Regent, Is rather a good photodrama.
That Is, where It hasn't been Bclssored by
the powers. Under tho guise of a sociologi
cal treatise, this product of Edward Locke,
tells the old story of the double moral
standard. It has been neatly directed by
Barry O'Xell, once of Lublnvllle, and ade
quately enacted by tho petite Frances Nel
son and the homely Arthur Ashley. The
fact that the man's loose life has been
reduced to nothing doesn't make the case
for his wife very strong. But picture
patrons ought to be used to that by now,
Theda Bara and a valise have the chief
roles In "Her Double Life," which sounds
like a Keystone, but Isn't. It was at the
Ruhyvyesterday, and might have remained
over Jon Its merits, which are not slight.
Produced by J. Gordon Kdwards for Fox,
the film mounts up to a good melodramatic
climax. In which MIbs Bara, by appropriat
ing the valise, pawns herself oft on a noble
English family as a relative, and wins a
clergyman's heart.
havo her discharged. At the climacteric
moment Hope finds a champion In Joe May
nard, who has taken to a career of crime
because of an undeserved jail sentence.
Mabelle Rstelle repeated her success In
the role of Hope Nelson, and Harry Dewey
was seen to advantage, as Joe Maynard,
Irene Reels as Kitty Burns and Bert B.
Melville furnished the comedy throughout
tho play.
Two of the very best elements In vaude
ville rro Florenz Tempest and Marlon Sun
shine It Is quite fitting that the offering
which they present at Keith's should be
"A Broadway Bouquet." It consists of
songs, fresh evidently from fertile soil,
rendered In a dainty, fascinating manner
wh'ch holds your ear to every word.
Their gowns seem to be In keeping with
the spirit of their melodies. Miss Tempest
belles her name There seems to be little
savoring of the storm or the tornado about
her. Like her partner sho radiates sun
shlno which help to keep "A Broadway
Bouquet" In the full bloom of success.
Horry Bcresford and company In 'Twen
ty Odd Years," a very clever charactertstlo
playlet of rural life, made equally ns good
an Impression ns on their first visit In this
sketch. It was reviewed In these columns
before.
Tommy Dugan nnd Miss Raymond, for
mer I'hlladelphlana who deserted us for
I.ong Island, won no end of laughs with
their comedy auto act. It was their first
appearance In the "two-a-day" class In this
city. Tho results proved that they belong
to tho big show, Dugan's quiet way of
doling out comedy Is refreshing. Miss Ray
mond shared flfty-nfty In tho "clean-up."
Their auto act should speed right along
the path of success.
King and Harvey, In comedy songs,
scored the applause hit of the show. Dainty
bits of vaudevtlto flavored with comedy
were offered by Brleno and King. They re
ceived emphatic approval.
Mabelle Osgood and Emma Raus pleased
In musical selections. The Lelghtons
aroused laughs. Tho Barclnr performed
daring acrobatic feats nnd Roberts and
Verera presented the best juggling net
seen hero In a long time. Tho latest news
was flnshed In the pictures. J, a. C,
Golden Troupe Globe
An exhibition of tho wild nnd primitive
Russian folk dances by the Golden Orloff
Troupe In nn act entitled "Christmas In
Moscow" heads the bill at tho Globe this
week. The bright and nrtlstlo costumes
worn by tho performers and an appropriate
musical accompaniment added to tho suc
cess of the net. Charles E. WIldlBh and
company were seen In "The Tool Room,"
a dramatic offering, with a strong moral
lesson, which was warmly received. Ed
munds and Edna Leedom scored nn em
phatic hit and won many laughs In a com
edy playlet. "Going to the Wedding"; Jones
and Johnson, comedians ; Dow and Dow, the
Hebrew Sailors. Welmors and Burt, the
Gordons, Qorceo Brothers, knockabout come
dians, and the Musical Clovers. The pic
tures were up to the minute.

Eight pretty girls playing bras Instru

tha chief attraction at the Nixon Grand

study, 'Tho Return of Solomon"; Kuter.
Hughes and Kuter In a sketch, "Willie
Jones's Stepmother" Abbott nnd White,
musicians, and Neher and Kapelle, skaters,
Sons of Abraham Cross Keys
There Is nn abundance of fun and orig
inality In "The Sons of Abraham," which
headlines tho bill at tho Cross Keys. The
cast Is especially cipabto and tho act Is
punctuated with many laughs.
The bill Includes Daisy Hat-court, Eng
lish comedienne; Billy Kenny, singer nnd
mimic; Hecnan nnd Clark, Knight nnd Saw
telle and an entertaining photoplay.
Lcona LnMnr William Pcnn
Leona LnMar. 'The Girl With a Thousand

Lability to answer questions readily about

Ryan nnd Lee aroused no end of laughs.
Arthur Havel and company presented "Play

Included Flsko nnd Dalton, singers and
dancers, and the photoplay, "Lieutenant
Danny of the U. S. A."
Vare's Mule; Dumonts
Vare's Mule kicked up no end of a fuss at
Dumonts last night to the delight of a big
audience. The complications caused by
the workmen's compensation net were also
shown In the course of a funny sketch.
Pete Shaw, Tom Mnlono. Eddlo Cassaday,
Benny Franklin. Vie Richards, Alt Gibson
and others had a big share In the fun-making.
"MELO" AT THE KNICKERBOCKER
"Tho Girl He Couldn't Buy" Returns

'The Girl He Couldn't Buy," which re
turns to this city at the Knickerbocker The
ater this week, has all the thrills of a regu
lar oldtlme melodrama, the poor but honest
working girl, tho villain, tho hero in the per
son of a "cracksman" and the struggle to
regain a lost fortune. Hope Nelson Is
forced Into reduced circumstances by the
death of her father and works In a de

Our theatrical suburb waa diverted last
night with tho most remarkable contraption
of a "try-out" In years. They tailed It
The Two Janes." and It piled the Os of
"What Happened" on the Potion of "The
Dluo Knvelopo," In sublime and confident
amateurishness of book, lyrics, scenery,
muslo and acting. It holds out the hope
that tho present generation has at last pro.
duced something to stand beside the Cherry
Sisters.
The book had some momenta of varu
lucidity when the author stopped writing
and Harry Fisher said, 'Those la thorn"
and "I aro here," and barked at his fellow
canines out In front. Then for a moment
there was surceaso from: "Kver been In
lover "No, but I've had the measles."
Klsher's fun and tho author's fun are about
tho samo age, of course, but Fisher's once
was funny.
There wits a plot.
There was also muslo. Tho management
was unkind enough to cut out what Fisher
would call "two of It" and let tho plot in.
But even at that, "Tho Two Janes" lasted
only two hours. .
It was put on. appropriately enough, by

The Wise Men (?)

Once upon a time a wise (?) man rnnrfti'vprl
the idea that lots of money could be made
by buying and selling Pianos, this wise (?)
man icausuiuiactne puoiic as a majority
did not understand Diano values. So
with this in mind he went forth into
the highways and byways where
pianos are made to be sold to just
such wise (?) men, and he bought
many instruments with shiny cases
and pretty keys that were to adorn
the homes of the many people in his
city. He then spent lots of hard
earned money in tellino- the hnme
dwellers of these wonderful nianns fW
wouid make any home look more heanf-ifiil.
and he sold many pianos. So. like him. did
m many more wise (?) men go to the cities where
beautiful-looking pianos are made, they also resounding the praise of these
wonderful wares.
But one day a WISE buyer who did not sell pianos, but understood music
and tone values, wanted to buy a piano that he could hand down to his children
and his grandchildren. He shopped in the stores of many of these wise (?) men,
and not being especially interested in outward show, but desiring lasting music,'
he conceived the idea of going to a concern which for many years had been
constructing pianos. He had these instruments played, he listenejd attentively
to the tones, he inspected the interior construction and he bought a piano from
the concern that made them, that understood them, and whose broad guarantee
covered every vital part of the instrument. And lo! behold! he found that by
buying from the maker he saved 25 on the prices asked by the1 wise (?) men
ana the value he received was greater.
Moral It pays to buy from the maker who sells to the home
direct rather than from a dealer who buys and sells pianos.
