It Is Interesting to know that Cleorge Vivian, manager of the company. Is the Inventor of the patent process by which the ship Is maneuvered on the stage sea. JCever before did a ship roll and jump on an artificial sea. A vessel on tho stags Is usually a ridiculous example of tho car penter's art. If comes alongside and makes a few breesy attempts at rising and falling Then all Is still; but not so In "Treasure Island," where wo have an animated boat thirty-two feet long which trembles and, pitches and creaks worst than a twenty-six-knot Channel steamship before the war The ship Is mounted en n truck running on casters On this truck Is a horizontal cradle with cured ends to give the boat a fore-and-aft pitching effect by means of the IcverB and the rocker shaft The play of the craft Is limited by ihalns and springs On this rraillo rest nt right angles, three mora nthnart-shlp cradtts which support the ship These iradles serve to glvo the ship a rolling effect through the attendant levers The mechanism and operatives nre masked by sea-green ilrthx The entire effect is unique so Mr VlvUn Is protecting himself from having anv tne copy It by be coming a (latent owner THE MOUSE THAT STOPPED A BATTLE A little mouse was responsible for a great "battle" being stopped Jut when menwero shooting and slashing with sword" and guns were booming The rodent appeared uninvited and unexpected when the plavers were rehearsing the big fight that takes place In the cellar of Wlldresse s cafe In the screen version of Robert V Chambers's popular novel "The Olrl l'hlllppa. the fea ture attraction at the Palace Theatre next week The realism of this scene, when Wagner, the American artist, rescues Phlllppa from the clutches of Wlldresse and some soldiers is Intense Perhaps it Is born of some thing moie than the acting of Anita Stew art Rankin Drew and Anders Randolph The cellar looks like a. cellar, and there Is something nbout almost tcr cellar that Is creepy There were others at least one other besides thp actors In these Bcenes who caught the contagion of realism from the cellar set Tho one other in this case, was a mouse, hardly ns big as an In fant's hand, but seemingly old enough to be a mother .She took up her residence in the set and started to rear a little family behind one of the casks During a lull In the scene-taklng Miss Stewart sat on the cask eating a sandwich lunch She heard that sound that makes any woman start to climb a thalr It was an unmistakable squeak Miss Stewart called Drew oer His Iread apparently frightened the animal, for when the direc tor reached Miss Stewarts side nothing could bo heard -Then the sandwich eaten. Miss Stewart signified her readiness for the next scene Mr Drew- called Mr Randolph (Wlldresse) over, summoned the soldiers and the biggest battle scene of all was re hearsed And then the fight suddenly stop ped At the ver height of the action. Mrs Mouse and four Misses or Masters Mouse legan moving to another home They scut tled across tho ret and dived behind a krg that, up to that time, had not exploded, though later it was destined to Their scampering caused a temporary lull In the battle And that Is why one big scene in "The Olrl Thillppa ' had to be done all over again JULIA CULP TO BE HEARD IN RECITAL Musical Philadelphia is looking forward to hearing Julia Culp sing In the Academy of Music on Tuesday, March 20 This is to be her only public recital In Philadelphia this winter In the five jears she has sung In America this noted and much-loved Dutch lleder singer has made hosts of friends and they are legion In Philadelphia Among the boxholders at the Academy for the recital are Mrs Alba Johnson.

While Adam may not have had a family tree. It Is certain that tho genealogies re corded In tho Bible prove ,that tho desire to bo well-horn existed even among tho first families of Paradise, Tho Alaskan Indians also manifested the snmo Interest, nnd If they did not emblaion their past generations on highly embossed charts they carved the features of their progenitors on poles, with tho result that the totum polo Is tho Arctic equivalent for a family tree. The humorous side of ancestral pride will bs set forth at the Llltle Theatre when Howard Shelley's new farce, "The Family Tree," Is produced there March 19, The thomo Is ono dvr to tho heart of every Fhlladclphlan, jJW Yorker or Bostonlan, and If any folk worship their ancestors (ex cept Chinese) with the samo enthusiasm as the Inhabitants of these cities. It Is an unknown fact H Is a terrible misfortune for an or dinary mortal not to have one of tho Co lonial patriots for a progenitor It has also on several occasions proved a terrible temptation to asplilng folk to claim such Illustrious descent and then try to prove It by means of fake pedigrees. It Is no torious that some vvell-Known people have had family trees grown which have brought forth the most amazing group of ancestors, Including all the celebrities of history, from the queen of Sheba to William Jennings Bijan How these false pedigrees are de tected and their exploiters trapped form tho principal theme of "Tho Family Tree."
