Whether a girl aspires to play Lady Macbeth or ingenue roles, I would prcscribo the same train ing. Indeed, so great an advocate am I of the musical comedy school that I will go so far as to say-that it is an ex cellent sub stitute for the n,o w rSMisisH 'WisM.

This not only n J!t P"lucers of movie play, an In finitely greater field to draw upon, but their eggs are not all in one basket. Instead of being dependent upon the wmms of one community at a time they are appealing simultaneously to a thousand cities. In view of this the law of averages makes the movie production a real Invest ment, while the name thing for the old rashloned Ilroadway theatrical manager would be a foolish gamble. So far as the most trusted experts see. tho amusement field will always continue . ma KI-cai money-maklng opportunity ror tho mbvle people. I asked Herbert Urenon, who has produced the greatest shows up to this time, to shut his eyes and tell me what ho thought the movies would be doing ten years hence. Said hoi The nrst development, which Is already In progress, will be toward longer reels or. rather, longer productions. Instead of hav ing half a doxen different plots shown In one evening, or even two or three, the entire evening will be devoted to one production. TtitT. to 8Ucl1 Productlons as 'The Birth of n Nation.' 'Neptune's Daughter.' etc The new creation. The Daughter of the Gods.' will be along these lines. 'These longer plays will Inevitably lead to long runs. For Instance, Instead of the movie houses In New York thinking that they must have a change onco or twice a week, they will be content to run The same production for several months or an entlro season. After a play runs In the leading theaters of five or six big cities the pro ductlon will bo shown In other cities. Grad ually It will appear In smaller and smaller places. This gives a long life to a play, a life of at least Ave to ten years. This has Its com mercial aa well as Its sentimental value. Although the prlco to the theater for the use of the reels will decrease aa tho size of tho city decreases, yet the number of cities In which tho production will be shown will rapidly Increase as their site diminishes. "For Instance, the first year the producers might get 150,000 each from five theaters, making a total of $250.000 : tho second year they might get only J5000 from each the ater, but they would be receiving an Inrnma from fifty theaters; whllo threo years later they might receive only $250 per theater, but a thousand theaters would be showing in these remarks of Mr. Drenon's h touched on the great economlo possibilities of the game. Nothing succeeds without a reason, henco there Is a real reason why the movie business fa such a financial suc cess, and always will be. It bears the same relation to the amusement Held that the chain stores beur to tho merchandising field. When a cast plays In the old way Its Income Is absolutely limited each day to the capacity of the theater. Hence there Is al most a physical limit to the amount of money which can be spent profitably In producing a play to be shown along the old lines. When a cast, however plays to the movie .camera Its efforts can b8 shown every night to thousands of audiences. Moreover, these audiences are not confined to any one country, as pictures aro a universal language. With this thought In mind. It will be seen that there really Is not so much risk In spending a million dollars for one production before the camera as In spending a few thousand dollars for one Broadway production to be shown along the old lines. THE MAMMOTH MAGIC OF THE SCREEN CsistisHiHMsHKj&sV9ln'J-?yM'SHn 'X' irA4..l im4rMv'-' 4Ai'I-' a-.4l X'iAJW fcl IT WILL BE FROSTY AT THE "MET" TONIGHT This last week work was completed at the Metropolitan on a new stage, which will permit the Introduction of a complete pond of feal Ice, as one of tho features of the Hippodrome show, "Hip. Hip, Hooray 1" which comes to Philadelphia tonight. It remained for Charles Dillingham to often at' the Hippodrome last season one of the few real novelties the theatrical world has been seen In recent years, the Ice spectacle, which closes "Hip, Hip. Hooray 1" and entitled. "Flirting at St. Morltr." Varied uses of the Immense pool In the Hippodrome have, been made ever since the great show place opened Its doors. Always until thla .last season these uses have been associated with the employment of water In some form. But last season marked the first time that, this most novel feature of the show place was froxen solid and used for the presentation on the stage of a genuine winter scene. For the first time In tho history of stage effects Philadelphia theatergoers will see a pool 51x46 feet In size and complete ly filling every Inch of the largest stage In this State, employed In a skating scene. The stage mechanics have finished con structing a new stage cut Into sections approximately twelve by six feet These sections rest on a framework of Iron gir ders, which are supported by a series of mammoth pistons four In number. To make tho ice stage possible, the Iron structure has been lowered to a depth of eighteen Inches. Upon this framework there is placed a system of pipes, through which Is run brine treated to a fine spray of hot water. When the hot water has evened the Ice to a level surface, the plant Is started to work and a new coat of about one-eighth of an Inch refrozen.

REALISM WHILE THE ACTORS EAT "do get a story out of the stage luncheon at tho AdelphI," commanded the dramatic editor. "Make It real! tell 'Just what the actors said while eating between the two matinees. Actuality; that's whaj wo want" Tho party followed the "milkmen's mat inee" at 10 o'clock, a distinct novelty. Here Is what happened, at least to one pair of ears: "Ladles, bo seated. . . .Hey, an olive please ....Myrtle, got anything on your hip?.... Tea, pads, my dear. . . .The obese old thing said. . . .No, thank you, Mr. Blumberg. I hate those pink drinks....

But Miss -McManus, you haven't consumed a thing.... Curtain, curtain, and be careful of tho cigarettes.... Yes, It was vurry nice.... Hurry, girls,..." All of which proves the oft-doubted theory that actors do eat And how's the above story for realism? THEATRICAL JOT TINGS PROM HERE AND THERE The Broad has some excellent players in prospect Following "Wo Grande." which opens a week from Monday, come Laurette Taylor and Otis Skinner. The vehicle in which Mr. Skinner will visit his native city for the first time In many- seasons Is "Mister Antonio," a comedy by Booth Tnrklngton now vlslblo In New York. Mr. Skinner plays the part of an organ grinder. Miss Taylor Is due on November 13 in a new play by her husband, J, Hartley Man ners, who wrote "Peg o' My Heart" 1 It is called "The Harp of Life." "Katlnka" Is doing too well In Boston to cast an eye of Interest In the direction of Philadelphia Just yet So, Instead, patrons of the Lyrlo will see 'The Olrl from Brazil" on October, 23. The new piece Is, a musical comedy now on Broadway which starts with a scene In Norway and ends In the troplq climes of Brazil.

He calls it "Separating tho Sheep From tho Goats," but "Grand Slam" would bo a better name. To begin with, you have to have a Constant Reader. Tho Constant Reader asks the Dramatic Critic for a guide to his "baffling opin ions," and tho "guide," for some absurd reason, is supposed to bo a list of examples of tho worst acting which tho critic has seen and another list of tho best. Of course, tho whole point of tho game is that tho Dramatic Critic tries as hard as possible to provide a whimsical set of con trasts. Hero are some of Mr. Hammond's lists. oood Mary Miles Mlnter In'TheLlttlestnebel." Frank Keenan In "The Olrl of the Golden West" Barney Bernard In "Potash and Perlmut ter." Xaxttnova as Ileglna In "Ghosts" On Rus sian). Lee Sterrett as the chief of police In "Seven Keys to Baldpate." David Warfield, In 'The Auctioneer." Herman Lteb In "Dodc." lng of tho Kthel Barrymore In "A Doll's House." John Mason In "Common Clay" (second act). Henry Irving In "Louis XI." Maude Adams In "The "Legend of Leo nora," Forbes-Robertson In "Caesar and Cleo patra." As a matter of fact, success in this game of critical contrasts isn't at all difficult. Make as honest a list as you can ; take your eye resolutely off tho gallery, limit your choice to seven bad and seven good cases and your field to the last year in Philadelphia and still you can't help producing an amusing mixture. Here are the lists of tho Evening Ledger's critic: BAD a II. Bothern In "The Two Virtues." Zelda Sears In 'The Show Shop." Mme. Yorska In 'Through the Ages." Robert T. Haines In 'Through tho Ages.' Oroce deorge In "Major Barbara." The whole cast In 'The Two Janes." AH but ono player In "Sport of Law." What about our readers? Whom would they put in tho pillory and whom on the throne?

Ernest Olendlnnlng In' "JJxperlence," Mary Boland In "Sport of Law." FRANCIS X AT HIS PHOTOPLAY ZENITH Poor supporting companies are Just as frequent In tho movies as In the legitimate, and on that account It's pleasant to credit the Mero Company wlh n good mark for their cast of "Romeo nnd Juliet" which comes to the Victoria Theater for tho en tire week of October 23. There are a number of capital players from the speak ing stage among the aggregation of per sons supporting Francis X Bushman and Beverly Bayne, cinema stars puro and simple, though Mr. Bushman used to bo before the footlights. Some have been successful In Shakespeare In particular. Fritz. Letter, the Mercutto, Is certainly remembered In Philadelphia for his many appearances with Robert Mantell In Shakespearean repertory. W. Lawson Butt, brother of the singer, Clara Butt, made a favorable Philadelphia Impression In 'Tho Garden of Allah," at the Forrest some years ago. Her now plays Tybalt Robert Cummlngs was once with the Orpheum Players, nnd Lionel Belmore was stage manager for Favcrsham during local engagements. Kthel Mantell, who enacts Rosaline, Is the daughter of the noted tragedian. Robert Vivian used to act In Ben Greet's company. In the Metro piece ho does a member of the Capulet family. Lewis SeaJy came here In Shaw's "Fanny's First Play." 14 P. Sullivan Is always re called for his Impersonation of tho Henry Irving part In 'Tho Bella" when It was taken for the movies by Reliance. We hardly havo to suggest to you who Violet Hall-Calne Is, do we? Waiting a bit before telllnr rhita phlans about plays seen In New.Yrtt Is sometimes a very good thing.

Quite properly the American play wrights are doing nothing of the kind. I Neither they nor their plays make pretense at th'n "Intellrctual" : America has been tee) I busy living and making.

" of "Mr. Latarus," narvoy O'HIgglns adJ Harriet Ford, deserve a very honorable l place because they write about what' they iv know and )hey don't strain as do some ot our Cohans for violent comic "points." "Mr. Lazarus" Is a comedy with an, elaborately farceful Idea which ts firmly an "9 consistently prevented from running away 1 with tho humanness of the story. Briefly,, Mr. Lazarus Is a gentleman 'who returns H from tho dead. Once upon a time twenty years ago he was one John Molloy. honey- mooning on an express train that became a burning wreck. Loss of memory and some othor incidentals put him In the -permanently missing class. So when John re turned as a prosperous man under the nnmo ot Laznrua he found his wife and .his posthumous daughter slaving In a boarding house to provide support for a new hd of the family. A number of other things., such as an art student with the usual thin pocket but a quiet, unconventlal rente of humor; a love affair between thla young' man and the daughter and sundry financial trickeries of the new husband, kept Mr, TAzarus very busy straightening out hl(. family through four pleasant acts. Ulti mately his love for his daughter and his' desire for existence as a man with a name, wero overborne by the exactions of living with the querulous, atrange woman who was onco his wife and Mr, Lararus de parted.
