GRANDMA'S FAVORITE
STORY IN REAL LIFE
"Little Women," at Walnut, 'Suf
fers Nothing in Stage
Production
The lender chartn and beauty of New
England home-life, quaint humor and con
vincing truth ot homespun philosophy, the
solidity of theme and the graceful acting
of every member In the cast, all these are
bound to make a delightful play We
found them all in "Little Women," the
dramatization of Louisa May Alcott's chief
claim to Immortality As promised by
the Walnut management we saw "the orig
inal Broadway production," and after hear
ing the rounds of applause which made
the old walls of the Walrut ring we had
f-cant reaon to doubt the popularity ot
this charming story. In every department
It Is by far the best show that has visited
the Walnut this season, and though there
are weaknesses and shortcomings, so In
significant are they It Is hardly worth while
delving Into detail. Unlike the many other
productions we have seen at this play
house during the current season. In which
there Is always some member of the cast
seized with a sudden attack of mental
vacuum, the lines are delivered without a
break After all has been said and done It
Is the lines that make "Little Women" a
play The scenery during the first three
acts remains unchanged and It Is nothing
more than a living room such as one might
find In any little homo where every one
Is happy, but in the last art the scene Is
set In a handsome orchard, and one can
almost forget the thill blasts of these
winter days when the gaze Is resting on
this true-to-llfe scenery
The four principal characters of the story
are four young ladles Jo, the tempera
mental, who seeks to win fame and fortune
vvllli her pen; Meg, who Is quite content to
smile and sing through life, Beth, a young
lady who finds It absolutely necessary to
die during the course of the story, and
Amy. of the golden curls who cherishes an
ambition to become a famous painter, but
after a visit to Home discovers that talent
Is not genius and no amount of energy can
make It so They have a hard time at tfie
beginning, but with the first appearance ot
the herald of the happy sprinctlme the
robin the outlook becomes much brighter,
and, as It has been with writers from time
Immemorial, the author has teen to It that
all's well that ends well
Misses' Evelyn Yorke, Florence Hunting

Robinson portray the roles of the four
March sisters with dainty charm, Paul

BIBLICAL SPECTACLE
AGAIN AT THE FORREST
"Ben Hur," Now in Eighteenth
Season, Is More Impressive
Than Ever
"Ben Hur, which returned to the F01
lest last evening, at least supplies an ex
cuse ,for those people who visit the theatre
but once a year. With the recommendation
of the Ilev Billy Sunday and others, It
will always be the attraction for those In
search of "good" plays. As yet It Is un
fllmed, but Just how long a time remains
for this everlasting means of preservation
to overtake this spoken version Is hard to
say. It ,s now In Its eighteenth year, and.
Judging by the appearance of those extra
people making up the dancers and mobs,
they surely were with the production upon
Its Initial presentation. Hut people still
like it. as was attested by the brave ones
who ventured out upon our perhaps coldest
night
A H. Van Buren Is the Ben Hur, heto
of the story and his voice and figure well
equip him fot the part. Leandcr de Cor
dova's Simonldes Is a good enactment of this
character, while Leslie Stowe as the Arabian
horseman, Ilderlm, was a faithful reproduc
tion of tho type. Arthur Chatterton was the
falso friend, Messala. W. A. Howell as the
ancient Balthazar gave a convincing enact
ment of the role. Of the feminine mem
bers, Virginia Howell's vamplrlsh Iris waa
truly a type of Egyptian beaity. Gllberta
Faust was the mother of Hur, Eth.el Saxton
the daughter Tlrzah, Stella Boniface Weaver
the faithful servant Amrah and Lillian
Booth the Esther, daughter of Hur'a faith
ful slave There were many other portray
als of excellence and the musical portion
was under the baton of our own Gustav
Hlnrlchs. Need It be added that the well
known chariot race proved as exciting ai
ever?
"Ye Olden Days" Cross 'Keys
Pretty muslo and colonial setting serve to
make "Ye Olden Days." which headlines the

It Isn't only tho sentimental theme ot an

through a child's affection that gives this
story Its savor and warmth of appeal,

success The tiny human Inflections put

face of some unnaturally "baby-talk" lead
ers, and turn the trick We all know that
little bovs rnrefullv itet behind gates be

unconsciously annoying way of cutting up
cherished photographs with the best Inten

apt to bootllck the only rich man ln town,
and that children will lie outrageously ln
defense of some one they love Add to
these elemental traits and emotions the
natural and vivid acting of Frank Keenan,
with his sullen lapses and sudden passion

Juvenility of Thclma Salter; the exceed

and some perfectly arranged photography,

WHERE HAS VALENTINE
OF YEST1RYEAR GONE?
Alas ! Dainty Filigree Over
Which Pa Laughed and Ma
Sighed Is Exiled by War
Ketkon you know that the morrow li
St Valentine's Day? Well
Itcinember those little flllgreed valentlnee
you used to get? The kind that had lots
of color and pretty useless lattice work
most of It standing timidly out from the
rest after the manner of a sleeping car'e
vestibule only In delicate paper?
Ta used to call them glngerbready, and
lugi. and ma would algh a bit as ihe
fingered them and talk of other times
Isn't that so? And wouldn't you yourself
laugh and treat the thing with scorn at the
breakfast table only to read the little verses
over and over again nlone In the library
and then study the handwriting?
Well, those valentines are not here thle
year; and maybe they will never visit thla
land again, for they come from Germany.
The war has set its heel cruelly upon thle
delicate art over there. Whole villages
there used to be whose solo occupation was
the making of these valentines. The fash
ioning of these things runs In families, and
for generations. One man may be good at
coloring red, another may be expert on
pasting exactly. Theso men do their Jobs
and the results are assembled In another
house.
All of these men are away at the war
now and the women hav en't enough heart to
take up the work. Anyhow, the valentine!
would never reach this country. Last year
the wholesalers and Jobbers had enough of
these Imported valentines to last. Now they
aro all gone and In their places have come
the American product
John Sullivan, of the John A. Bradley
Company, one of the largest valentine Job
bers In the country, commented upon the
condition, saying,
"Frankly speaking, I have to admit that
the American product Is not the equal of
that of the Germans, American manufac
turers used to laugh nt the elaborateness of
the Imported stuff and say that any one
could make the same sort of goods If he
had the patience. When we went into the
market for thrs year's supply, wo found lid
German goods anywhere. So we asked the
American manufacturers to try and make
ua some of the foreign kind. 'Certainly,'
they said, and they went to work. When
their stuff came. It only took one look at It
to see that It wasn't of the old grade. The
colors were not as true and the fine cutting
noticeable ln the fjerman workmanship was
left out I guess our manufacturers didn't
have the time to put Into the work. It
wasn't as easy ns they thought.
"However," continued Mr. Sullivan, "our
manufacturers may get the trend of the
work In a few years. And then again
maybe they won't, for that untiring patience
the Germans use may be lacking ln our
American workmen. Maybe they don't think
It's worth the effort to put out u perfect
valentine in these days of munition manu
facture and the heavier arts."
