. toward the close toilny. Price melted by
quartern pnd halves nmld the most Intense
'. exeUement, until valtio. nuffcred lnr.. of
10 to IS cents from yesterday's close. There
i ' was a rally nt the end of ooverhiR. but final
quotations were S to 7 , cents not lower
. Tha whirlwind selling followed reports
concerning diplomatic lelallons and more
restrictions by rnllronds on the movement
of-grain. The sobering Influence that the
talk of placing nn embargo on txports of
the cereal has had on fpcculntors also wns
a factor.

to typlcnl farce, mounts to melodrnmn nnd
winds itp with romance. Hurely nn enter
tainment of many OrnmnturRlc facets, all
Blltterlnr: cither with action, wit or wcntl
ment. Tho new Cohan show Is not a take
off on tho Kcv. Mr. .Sunday; rather It Is
a celehrutlon of thp man and his manner
isms and method particularly his method.
There la no parody of the Kospoler and only
a hint of Irony, occasionally, ns when tho
hero prepared his V. M. I'. A address by aid
of n Monographer nnd encyclopedia, And
even this Is not unkindly.
Tho play posnestes a downrlcht sincerity
niniiliiR clearly under Itn slanglness that
has been denied by many to the evnwrellst
of the tabernacles and free-will offerlncs.
Hollidny, the riothaiu hundrcd-per-week
"barkeep." who hits Johnsburfr, somewhero
In yvv Knitlund. to run toe bar of a new
hotel and finally runs tho town nfter chnck
i:iB his Job before he has mixed a cocktail on
account of a conflict with the brewer-boss
of tho btirir, does not lay up treasures on
earth, and although ho wears snral suits
of "sporty" clothes and even a top lint, has
no fur nveiro.it. Thn money lie Rets front
n film firm for bis first posinn he turns over
to the sadly depleted tiulldltipr fund of tho
locnl church. That's tho kind of n guy Holll-
uay is.
A bartender, "Rifted" at his craft,
turned temperanco lecturer over nlRht, Is
tho hero of the now Cohan play. It Is pop
ularly believed to be the author's Indirect
ndnptntlon of tho "Hilly" Sunday charac
ter nnd "craaio" for stae uhcs.
This "effort" Is credited by him with
being tho working out of a plot suggested
by (leorgo Mlddlcton and Ouy Ilnltoti. Hut
It Is typically Coha'n. no. for Instance In
tho pasiiiRo where Jlolllday sweeps his
suffrage meeting off Ita feet with u waving
of the American Hag and a demand thnt It
..Ing 'Tho S-'tar S'pingled llnnner."
Tho book of tho play has a Cohancsquo
keeping - Up - with - the - times spirit In tho
prct-ontntion of a character that possesses
novelty, nnd In giving that personage n
"(Set - Hick Quick Walllngford" twist that
adds variety to extravagant proceedings.
All the material that lends Itself readily to
Mr. Cohan's hand tho small town, tho
barber shop In full swing with one shave,
tho oince of the American House, together
with famlllnr types has been used with
humorous effect.
There arc several admirable things about
the play. Mr. Cohan again evidences his
claim to real consideration as a playwright.
Tho texture of his piece Is firmer than that
of any other of his productlonu except pos
sibly "Get-Hlch-Qulck Walllngford." It
mnrks a decided advanco on "Tho Yankee
Prince." In which he made his first attempt
to write a more or less leal drama. He Is
diverting and faithful to fact In tits por
trayal of tmall town characters I'osslhly
he gulns effects of fidelity through the
streshlng of superllclalllles of dress, diction
or deed j but ono feels that benca'li the
surfaco are Just the animating moods that
belong to the characters, even though there
Is little .pretense at psychology. It is all
clever, maybe merely casual, yet with a
sensa of reality and a sureneas of charac
terization. Part of the micct.iii s doubtless due to the
rapidity of Uco with which Mr. Nlblo and
his associates carry tho extravaganza of
doings and the patnets nnd pertness of
dialogue. Thl allows no timo for analysis
In tho theater. Mr. Nlblo was smart with
out being brash, and always deft and lik
able. Ills support was capital. There were
no players "featured," henco thero was
splendid team work.
Of course, there were two Cnhuii leit
motivs 'The Star Spangled Banner" nnd
the dig at Providence, It. I. W. It. M.
"OFFICER COG" COMES
TO THE KNICKERBOCKER
A Good Performance in Stock of Mc-
Hugh's Funny
Farce
"Ofllc'er 866" Is with us again. He Is the
center of attraction at the Knickerbocker
Theater. Cloaked In the person of John
Lorenz, he made his reappearance last
night with all the Intricacies and broad
humor that Augustln MoHugh created him
to have.
The Knickerbocker players gave a "rat
tling" good first-night performance of the
bewildering comedy, There was a snap and
dash about the rendition that kept the
action In full swing during the entire three
acts,
Lorenz, In the character of the young
millionaire, Travers aiadwln, and Officer
666 pro tern., carried each turn of the
story and Its rapidly mlxed-up situations
In a most creditable manner from start to
finish, furnishing a good contrast to the
suave, cool Interpretation of J, Paul Jonev,
as Alfred Wilson, tho picture-expert crook.
Jones presented a clearly detlned character
In a most befitting tempo.
The femlnlna lead, for one can hardly
say that the play contains a real heroine;
was enacted In good style by Anna poherty.
However, the role of Helen Burton gives no
wide opportunities for distinction.
Whitney Burns, the loyal friend of the
young millionaire, brought much laughter
us played in a broad farcical style by Earle
T. Weston, while Helen Trlvem, playing op
posite him as Sadie Small, did notably well
In her small part
The entire police force from captain, de
tective, tho real Officer 666 and his brother
patrolmen gave most spirited demonstration
of activity that lent fervor to Jha situa
tions, but at times blurred the stagf picture-

PRIEST IS THE HERO
OF "ROSARY" DRAMA
Father Kelly an Appealing
Figure in Striking Play
at tho Walnut
Father Brian Kelly Is again In evidence
at the Walnut, where the latest play of
Edward E. Rose, who penned "The Jtosary."
Is this week's attraction. This popular
character once more endears himself to the
hearts of the people In the role of a Catho
lic priest who shows himself the friend of
every man. The youth who started out In
the world came to Father Kelly for counsel,
and the doomed man In the death chamber
who awaited death as a penalty for his
crime looked to Father Kelly for consola
tion. When all the world seemed to turn against
one man, even his wife, stripped of all that
was dear to him, a murderer In the eyes of
every one, the good priest remained at his
side, urging him on to Sis day of redemp
tion. The priest and man saw a young
husband accused of murder, tried by Jury
and pronounced guilty of murder in the
first degree, the penalty for which Is death.
Father Kelly had faith In the power of
"The Rosary," and It was this great faith
that snatched a doomed man from the gal
tows. "My Mother's Rosary" Is a gripping play
of human Interest Father Brian Kelly Is
played by Horace W. Noble, and the easy
manner In which, he carries himself through
his part makes Father Kelly a delightful
figure. This cannot be said of Carl Q
Runyan, who play tie dual role of John
and Frank Marvin, because bis obaraeters

Dramas Corporation Mlory und direction by
tho ltv. Thomas Dl&ou.
Tho movies nre at last moving thin way.
Next week brings up "Civilization," but
It la "Tho Fall of a Nation" that holds our
Immediate Interest. Prrsontcd for the first
tlmo In thin city nt the Belmont, it gives
this West Philadelphia, playhouse distinc
tion as a placo of llrst presentations. A
unlquo combination Is responsible for this
"cinema grand opera," as it is called upon
tho program: Tho Rev. Mr. Dixon, autiior
nf many books, most notahlo being 'The
Clansman," from which "Tho Birth of u
Nation" was adapted, and Victor Herbert,
the composer. With only nn organ and n
leaders' sheet, it wits a very dllllcult mat
ter for tho organist to do the score full
Justice, but his work was commendable
under the circumstances.
The opening scenes show the cause of the
original immigrants' meeting in this coun
try's melting pot. Tho groupings disclose
beautiful picture'.! In the native countries
from which they came. Tho historical
opening Is very effective. Of course, there
Is a Lincoln character In It, for It seems
that no war spectacle can be complete these
day i without one. There Is u delightful
caricature of our Messrs Bryan and Ford,
and they are inndo to look ludicrous, peel
ing potatoes for the army. "Uupontlsm,"
or pyrotechnics, play a largo part In the
play's success. The camera work Is excel
lent and the theater operator responsible
for tho perfect projection. There are many
niuK.1 Bcenes of trench fighting. Of the
players whose work Is outstanding, Arthur
Shirley. Lorralno Hullng, Percy Standing
and Flora MacDonald are In the leading
parts. There ure many minor ones con
tributed by "extras" that prove excellent
bits. In flashes. The plot tells of tho in
vasion of America by foreign powers, their
control nnd final downfall, due to the as
sistance given by 'The Daughters of Jael,"
a band of women patriots, and to some
rough riders.

terestlng details of the "Imperial Itusslan
Ballet" Introduced Into tho story. These
nnd the acting of Viola Dana and her sup.
port make the film decidedly worth seeing.
Miss Dana tackles her first very serious
psrt with both energy and discretion. Her
typo fits the character well, too. The print
used nt the Palace seems a Utile coarse
and worn, but the photography and lighting
are excellent nnd the settings, except for
a few overcrowded rooms, very good. Some
people may hot earn for one more picture
of the hideous tyranny of the Itusslan Gov

MANY NEW IDEAS ARE
UNFOLDED AT KEITH'S
Dorothy Jnrdon and Lew Dock-
stadcr Stand Out Prominently
in Bill of Much Merit
There nre many good things lo choose
from nt Keith's.
Dorothy Jnrdon, the llrondway star. Is
easily the artistic hit She has a Volco of
exceptional rnnge nnd xnlumo ami, unlike
many singers, permits the public lo know
what each mug Is nil about. Miss Jnrdon
Is atatucsqun without severity. Unlike such
types she slugs her songs without that
touch-me-not attitude which has tundo many
Imperious beauties freeze Into failures.
Her numbers nt well with her character
istics, liven the general color scheme of
her gowns nnd surroundings scetna to belong
to her songs
Sho offered "Oh, You Haunting Wnltz,"
"Oood-by," "Tho Cigarette Song" from
"Carmen" and "When I Hear a Martial
Tune."
Jerry ,Tnrn,tgln ga valuable nsslstnnco
ut tho piano.
Lew Dockstader has deserted Ills old
friend Colonel Ilooscvelt ns fnr ns vailde
lllo Is concerned und now glcs us his own
conception of tho nverngn political boss. Ho
bravely dolled all tradition In this respect
and nbollshcd tho white plug hnt, tho
olicrked vest nnd while spntn which hno
haunted all stage politicians even hefoto
Nat Goodwin nnd Corse Pnyttm wero born.
Ho g.ivo sumo Interesting "Inside dope"
concerning the recent election and told
how easy It wuh to go through llfo as a
political leader without any definite salary.
Incidentally, Mr. Dockstader's talk was
not a long distance from tho facts at that.
Senator McNIchol nnd Senator Penrose, too,
might get some valunblo pointers If they
would drop In and have u listen nt tho
monologue matter which tho comedian Is
handing out publicly.
And those present ut last nlght'n meeting
showed that they knew a thing or two
about It by rewarding Dockstader's spas
modic speeches with npplauso aplenty.
Thero wns no end of classy wit mixed In
with Dockstndcr'H orations and most of It
struck homo Immediately.
Morton nnd Monro presented nn act
wh.ch defies authorship. No typewriter
would possess tho "props" necessary oven to
pxprcs. It. But they needn't worry about
that. And they didn't. They started llko
a culm heforo a storm und then cut looso
In n hunch of uctlon, songs, ncrobatlcs nnd
comedy which would icqulrc i dlctophono
niul camera to record properly. Tholr
r clonic offering ended In n hurrlcnno of
npplauso. Throughout all their tomfoolery
thero was nn iirtlstlc touch. Thus they
huvo u bunch of ussets which will keep
them u long distance from tho liability
column.
Klsle Pllcer nnd Dudley Douglas cornered
most of tho upplnuso with an urtlstlc sing
ing nnd dniiclnrc net. Miss Pllccr's dancing
und wonderful gowns wcro n distinct
feature.
Dorothy Granvlllo presented types of
women with very good results. Beatrice
Herford, who made such a decided Im
pression last week, wnn held over for this
weck'H bill, und gave somo now Impressions
of women we have mot.
