The show has not been here for several

FAR-FAMED "THREE WEEKS"
COMES TOKNICKERBOCKER
Adaptation of Elinor Glyn's Novel
Wins Approval Gordon Eldrcdge
Makes Debut on Stage Here
The far-famed 'Three Weeks," an adap
tation of Fllnor Clljns sensational novel bj
the same name, was given bv the Knlckei
bocker Plnjers at their theatre last night
The generous shower of applause which the
various parts called foith proved that sev
eral j ears of dlRcusslon of the plav have
not detracted one whit from its popular
appeal
The lesdlng parts were portraved cleverly
and effectively by Anna Dohertv and John
Lorenz (lordon Fldredge, a Phlladelphinn,
who has been seen numerous times In films,
made his first appeaiance here on the stage
In the part of 'Tetravltch " As an nctor
he did as credltablj an lie has done In
motion pictures Mr Lid: edge Is a relative
of the late Press Lldredge the celebrated
minstrel
The scenic effects achieved in 'Three
Weeks" aie particular worthy of mention,
supporting and Intenslfilng as they did the
climacteric parts of the storj
Julian Rose William Pcnn
One laugh after the other Is about the
onlj way to describe the act of Julian
Hose, the well known Hebrew comedian,
who topped the bill at the Peun It was
his first uppearance at the West Phlladeli
phla plaj house. Ills stories concern inci
dents ,of everdav life nnd cover a wide
rnnge of subjects Rose works quietly and
has a habit of getting to the point quickly.
Incidentally he Is a Phlladelphlan and
ndds a number of local touches which
emphasize the laughs He was a big hit.
Entertaining acts were also presented
bv Ciclghton Belmont and company, (Jlee
Club quartet, and Larry Itellli and the
Celtic Plavcrs "The Coward" which was
acted by a capable cast, proved an Inter
esting sketch The photoplav, "Nina, the
Flower Girl." held Interest
Talbot's Band Cross Keys
Talbot's String Band, which won the first
prize fot musical organizations In the mum
mers' parade, Is the headllner nt the Crosi
ICcjs The offering of this big company
of musicians Is a decided vaudeville nov
elty Their program Included a wide range
of selections which were plaved with much
expression The act was rewarded with
prolonged applause.
Others on the bill were Hugh Dlaney,
Kelly and Mayo, Jack Morissey and com
pany and Gordon and Poweis
The pictures were Interesting and timely.
Continuing Plays
Sir Herbert Tree's revival of "Henry
VIII" entered on tho second and last week
of its run at the (Jarrlck last evening. It
Is a handsomely mounted spectacle In the
old mapner Fine acting is contributed by
Lyn Harding, the btar, and L'dltli Wynne
Matthison. .
The third and last week of "The Profes
eor's Love Stoiy," with George Arllss and
a cap'tal company, Including Jeanne Eagles,
began at the Droad last night. This old
Darrle comedy Is stl.l amusing, and Is deftly
played by the catt.
"Very Good Eddie," with Ernest Truex,
Alice Dovey and Oscar Shaw, continues Its
successful run at the Adelphl. This re
vamped vers'on of the farce, "Over Night,"
I has proved one Of ins coimu uiuu spots ot
the muelcat comedy season here.
Itaymond Hitchcock, assisted by the
youthful Ivy Sawyer, the Just as youthful
Joseph Santley and the more than youthful
Arthur I.owr!e. Is still at the Forrest.
