Whether they camo to seo Shnkespcare or
not, tliey saw a show, tho nudlenca lit Iho
i Oarrlclt, a gorgeous show. And fortu
nately, thev ngrced Hint the play might
pass; for pass It dlil, tlio play that Khnke
epcaro wroto. leaving many ot his linos In lis
wolto and a great ileal of scenery and
costumes, pageantry and "business." Kir
Herbert Treo's speaker of tho protoguo
raised tho "two short houin" to "three";
and Kir Herbert hlinseir cut out enough text
no that lils plcturcstiuo trimming and neces
sary Intermissions brought '(ho play only a
little nhort nf four. Thus was tho prologue
fulfilled, whatever may have happened to
Slmkespearo.
Now, of course, It Is a very Brave ques
tion whether n crltlo has any business at
ell telling an artist how lio should have
dono his work: It lMsafer for him to study
what tho artist tried to do and to Judge, how
much of It was accomplished. It Ih also a
grave question, not nlonu whether Khiike
Bpeare wroto "H.'iiry VIII," but whether It
Is worth preserving In tho quick and simple
Btate to which It was bom. It Is a lung,
dull pleco ot rending, shot with occasional
great moments. Would a line, simple and
artistic production, which permitted It to
run swiftly without Intermissions, bo wasted
on It? Is It better to prune away yards of
verso and capitalize tho spectacle of It In
tho good old-fashioned manner nf the nine
teenth century theatro?
Kir Herbert Tree follows tradition and
follows It triumphantly. Ho creates "busi
ness" Shakespearo never dreamt of and adds
a few lines of dlulogue whoro needed. He
builds settings of spaciousness and color
and (Ills them full with the gold and red
and green of Tudor times. He marshals
an army of "extra people" and sets them
processioning In a way that has never yet
graced Shakespearean production In Amer
ica. Some might &ay ho has raised tho
familiar Muntell-Sothern Khaltespeaie to the
nth power, yet where are their "front
Kcenes"? Everything Is large and seemly.
Much of It shows wear and not all Is so ery
Imaginatively painted, but three scenes, one
at the climax of each net, glvo ua tho best
of gorgeous and elaborate scenic spectacle.
Wolsoy's banqueting hall, Hlackfilars and
tho Abbey aro splendid In color and rich In
human decoration. Tho coronation mav bo
something of which Shakespearo never
thought, hut It has a flno originality of
treatment. Tho red and gold of church
and royalty throng It; youth kneels in
Anno Bullcii, and tho blurt king, high In a
curtained box, has a jolly, splendid time of
It looking on, Ko did tho audience last
I hlght.
Whether you npplaua Its thorough-going
luxurlanco or hcoff at Its papier macho
boar's head, its electrlo candles and Its con
venient spotlights, this "Henry A'lII" does
unmistakably supply acting. Tree himself
Is very far from "tho wholo show," as with
our American producers of Shakespeare.
He reserves his own big moment, tho down
fall ot tho Caidlnal, and ho plays It to the
full as tho pitiful. nwaKenlng of a bioken
man; for tho rest ho is content to picture
a bOTt of grandmotherly hypocrite whose
curious slnisterness sets off the bluff King
and tragic sincerity of Kalherlne. More than
that, Treo gives us two lino at lists In King
Henry and his Qucon. Miss fdlth Wvime
Mntthlson's art is familiar, lovely and "con
stant. Mr. Lyn Harding's Is Mmicthlng ever
new imu ruuuy Willi lire. The labt tlueo
seasons havo hi ought no fuller or more en
Joyablo Impersonation than this blond brute,
with tho tiny swine's eyes and beefy head,
tho splay legs and rolling stomach, full of
the easy vulgarity of the fleshly man and
rising to the business ot kingship and tho
emotions of a husband with a curious, matter-of-fact
seriousness which is vastly hu
, man and touching. All in all. It Is great
acting and tho best thing In a production
full of great things and small K. Jl.
"The Coward" Ni,un Grand
"Tho Cowurd." a sketch, offering a dra
matic aigument on tho sociallstlo view
point of the war. was capably presented at
I tho Grand by Lillian Kingsbury and com
ipany. Miss Kingsbury Is a comparative
newcomer to audovllle. Until a season ago
slio had been conspicuous lu tho casts of
David Belasco and thoso of the lato Charles
Frohman. ,
Arthur Itigby, an obony-hued humorist
from tho South, furnished a lot of splco and
laughter, and tho Fields sisters pleased in
an unusual singing and dancing act.
Itayno's dogs gao some brand new vvi lo
llies In dog smartness, nnd Itegal and
Bender, nciobats, gave twenty minutes of
thrills. Booth nnd Leander wound up tho
how with a tvvo-man-blke act, which was
a veritable fireworks of good humor.
Singer's Midgets Globe
Headline honors at tho (Jlobo last night
Went to Singer's midgets. Thirty little men
nnd women drew rounds uf applause by
their Bangs, dances -nnd funny "stunts,"
wilch. Included tho riding of ponies and tiny
elephants. Tho scenic effects and staging
ore especially deserving of note.
One of the best laugh producers on the
bill was Frank ijabhy and company, In a
Ventriloqulal ufferlng. The dummies sang
bongs, told Jokts and kept up a line of
clever chatter with tho audience. This act
Is a povclty. as each dummy has a distinc
tive role In the plot, and the dialogue is In
keeping with present-day events.
Lawrence and JCdwnrds have an excellent
comedy sketch, entitled, "At the Hecrultlpg
Station," Other acts Included Bessie I.a
Count, comedienne; Billy Seaton, songs; the
Blite Trio, bungs, dances and comedy, and
the Standard Brothers, In a balancing act.
"Coney Island to North Pole" Fenn
The way to take a quick trip from a
famous seaside resort to the Icy regions Is
shown In "From Coney Island to the North
Tole," an Interesting tabloid which heads
the bill at tho William I'enn.
A halt dozen different scenes are used to
i take the audience on the trip. The voyage
I la enlivened by lots of songs, hi keeping
' with the various countrla. and a number
ijjf characteristic dances. The aot met with
'lien approval, uocu entertainment was
o provided by Jolly Wild and France,
ik and Ingram, the C'rbua, dancers, and
k'Trianglo Aim. "The Little yank." with
Dsfbthy Glsh.
"Girls and the Baron" Cross Keys
Fun runs along at a rapid rate In "The
Girls and the Baron," which is the feature
: attraction at the Cross Keys. There Is also
u. plentiful supply of good music and danc-
lnir In the course .of the merrvmaklntr
tovefal novel numbers are Introduced by a
bevy of pretty girls. The act was well re
ceived. Other good arts on the bill Include Force
I and Williams, m songs and comedy ; Tyler
aud "Tcli..:-,, in a comedy sketch, and the
JJuokey liiopodrume.
Tllli HARASSED MAIDEN
Florence Davenport, who plnys the
title role in "A Little Girl in u Hij;
City," which opened at the Walnut
last evening.
"LITTLE GIUL IN IMG CITY"
GETS ALONG RIGHT WELL
Florence Davenport Returns to ' Wal
nut in White Slave
Melodrama
Miss Violence Davenpoit, an old favor
ite, leturued to the Walnut lu Messrs. Wood,
Shnller & Alston's production oC "A 1-lttlo
CJIrl in a Dig t'lly." In many respects It
Is u so-called "whlto slae play" and Is
highly melodramatic.
A young gill from tho country lands In
New York elly with tho Intention ot Imme
diately going Into employment, but before
she Is able to get a position she Is ma
l nulled on the rocks of lulwrslty. She Is
nil orphan and does not know her leal
father and mother, and it Is her ardent
piayer that she will find them In New
Vol Is in fiiLl, tdic resole she will Hud
them.
And so the story goes on until we reach
the second act. when we find our heroine
lodging lu the bo.uding house of an old
Herman named Seluuuitz. The g.il has not
yet found employment, and Is absolutely
without funds with which to pay her loom
lent.
Tho author has seen lu It that this land
lord shall bo Kind to linfui tiuinto young
girls, and when the fuuith and last act
rolls mound we llnd l,.iui.i Nelson having
recovered her lost foituue and t.ued from
the clutches of a band of wh to slaei.s.
Florence D.ivenpuit, in the role of I.aura
Nelson, Is at times Impressive. Itachol
llenaid makes a forceful .Margaret, who
bcfiiends the uufoi lunate Laura. Hut the
best actor In tho cast Is Fred I!. Hundley,
who gives us an excellent Schmultz; together
with Lyle Hnrdy. an lk Jones, he fur
nishes must of the humor of the play.

MAE HOTZ SINGS WELL
IN ADMIRABLE RECITAL
Charming Soprano's Fine Voice Shows
to Advantage in Song
Program
Tuibulent applause is not always the
fiest standat d hy which to Judge iho per
formance of a musician ; and turbulent ap
plause, which suggested that thu whole city
Is her friend, was the lot of Mae I Iota
When she stepped on the platform of Wlth
erspoon Hall last night. It was just be
fore this popular Philadelphia soprano gave
her recital, lu which slio had the tinob
tiuslvo and mule than skillful assistance uf
Hills L'laik llammauii, the pianist. Fortu
nately, in this case. Ihe generous shuwer
ot hand-clapping that swept over tho prin
cipal artist Indicated her worth as well as
her vogue. Nut often do beautiful artis
try and the approval of the many go hand
III hand in that manner.
Those who have heard Mrs. Hotz in
operatic roles do nut need to be told of her
clear-cut and engaging ,'lfts. Her ex
quisitely modulated ami tlnely schooled
voice Is something that cannot ho praised
too much, If one icallzes what she is trying
to do and how well she docs It. She Is not
it volcano of sound ; shu never tries for
the showy magnltlcenco of tho coloratura.
Content witli suugs that are pure lyric, she
can mako up an evening of delight un
tainted with the love of display.
" Her program last night was most felici
tous In Its first section. The Mozart "Alle
luia" she sang with delicate emphasis and
charming tonal color. Haeudel's "Skylark,
1'retty Hover," had all tho grace of a poem
by Heddoes or Herrlck. The old English
pastoral bloomed Into quaint and fetching
contours nnd tints under tho touch of "her
voice. Then there was the "Murmuring
Brook," sweetly done, and. best of all. the
seventeenth century bong of a lady's praise
about the lilies and the snow and the lamb's
tlcece that Alma tiluck Included lu her
recent recital.
Sometimes Mrs. Hotz's voice seems cold.
But It Is always the refreshing frlgor of a
mountain brook and not that of dead metal.
And she can be delightfully personal, as in
her group of songs by Brahms, Schumann
and Schubert. These alone were worth the
admission prices.
Her other pieces, exclusive ot encores,
were Franz's "Love In Spring," Liszt's "The
Fisher Boy," Massenet's "Qood Night," Dal
croze's "The Blue Bird," comprising a sec
tion of semlmodern romantic composers,
and Anglo-Saxon and Celtic numbers (at
least that In tinge). The writers repre
sented there were Campbell Tipton. Marlon
Bauer. Cyrp Scott, Cadman and Whelpley.
Tho same flllgree-like phrasing, the same
purity and technical power, marked them as
marked tho earlier numbers. B. D.

What merit tlilt nhotonlnv has fand It has
a good deal) It owes to Us producer and Its
sympathetic Interpreters. Thero is In
variably n HnMi and felicity to Iho comedies
nnd dramas that Director Henderson puts
on This is no exception. But It la just a
little too serious lu ita trend for him to
nchlevo hli happiest results. Also. It Is not
plotted with very striking Ingenuity. Tho
nuthor has taken a bald melodramatic basis,
of the "Kick In" school, and adorned It
Willi some human touches. Or wero tho
latter duo to Mr. Henderson? At all events,
wo tlo coma nway feeling that wo have
made the acquaintanceship of somo genuine
people from tho absorbed, small town bank
lerk of Mr. Mooro to tho reforming lady
tblcf of Miss Fenwlck. They havo the color
of icallly a quality born out by the char
acter bits, tho expert handling of Milage life
end the pieces of "business" with which the
whole Im studded. Played ,as straight
comedv, "A. Olrl Llko That" would havo
"gotten over" even better. Uut as It Is, It
is interesting nnd graphic entertainment,
artistically piojeeted by the players nml en
hanced with some bright and carefully
planned photography.
