And now for somo of the recipes which Philadelphia women seem to want so niuch. Uvcry day I hear about .another homo which has had Mfo Intension lnstltuto dishes cooked ns a result of recipes wo liavo published In tho Kvns'iNd I.noor.n. Uaked bananas, which wo had yesterday, were inlghly good, and they hn.vo an enor mous food nlue. Kor lustnnce. one banana has ns much food vnluo as a glass nnd a quarter of raw milk, or is much as a big servlnR of baked haddock, or as mucli vnluo us a sllco of graham bread or two slices of white broad nnd a quarter of a glass of milk combined nnd that is going somo for ono piece of fruit. Tho baked bananas nto mighty easy to make, too. Five bananas nro enough for flvo people. Hemovo.tho bananas from the nklns, cut In half lengthwise, sprinkle the llvo bananas with two tablespocnfuls of sugar nnd one nnd onc-quarcr teaspoon fills of lemon Juice. Then bnkc them in a moderato oven for twenty minutes, when they will bo ft golden brown. Mont: hec:iim:s It Is dllllcult to make good baked Iwans, so even before wo have been served with them, I usked Miss F.iunic I.uti (iill, our dietitian, to let mo hao the recipe so It would bo published Immediately, hefbru t totgot It. She, as usual, was "aecommodatlnpness" personllled and went through her recipes and gave It to 1110. Here It Is. and this will serve five people 1 'i cupf ills of beans. 'H pound of salt pork. 2Vj tnblcspoouCuls of molasses. Parboil the beans, ilrnln and iilnce In .1 bean pot, lining tho put nbout two-thirds run, of water. Put In tlu salt pork, the rind of which has been scored. Pour mo lashes nor tho pork; add mole cold water, using HUlllclent' to nlinas' cover tho beans. Ilako In 11 idow ocn for ten hours. Ho not try to keep tho bean pot (Hied with water, but allow the water to cook down so that the fat can brown. Here Is a iccplo for corn luulllns, too. which will mako many a houscu'ifn glad that the diet squad met In Philadelphia and that the recipes were published. This reclpo Is for live peopln but tho niuftlns nro so good that It depends much on tho appetites of tho Individuals how many It will s,crve. This takes: 1 U rtipfiils of oornmcnl. 1 cupful of (lour. 1 ',4 tablcspontifuls of sugar. 0 tcnspoonfuls of baking powder. 1 tcat'poouful nt salt. , 1 cupful of water. 3 tnhlcspnnnruls of melted fat. Sift together tho Hour, comment, baking powder, sugar and salt. Add witter nnd molted fat. Ilako in .1 moderato oven for about 23 minutes.

That afternoon a neighbor telephoned to Amelia and asked her to go for tho next day to a nearby lake retort. Kvclyn camo Into tho room jus ns sho was saying,. "I'm sorry, I can't," regretfully for tho fifth time. Amelia had to explain "Why, of course, you can go. and must," cried Kvclyn. "Vou need an outing. And with 1110 hero you needn't seo the least troublo about leaving things." Sho Insisted and got Frank to insist. And Amelia went. She came home at 10 o clock of ono of the pleasantest days of her life to- find Kvclyn sitting nlmio in tho' moon light, looking rather mournful. "I'qor child, you're tired out I" exclaimed Amelia. "I am tired," said Kvclyn. "but It Isn't that. Shall 1 tell you now, Ame'la, or would you rather I'd wall until tomorrow.," "Tell me iinw." Amelia whispered, sitting down beside her. "Vol) sec, Amelia." Kvelyn began, "I camo nut here to get a chanco to think tilings over. There's a man and a question. Well, ho followed me up today and de manded his answer. He said he couldn't wait. Amelia. refused him. "Thnt's tho way to do when ;ou don t llko them," Amelia consoled. Kyplyn's. voice was tragic. "Hut I do llko hhn. I love him. lie's tho only man In tho world for me." "Then, why " , "Oh. don't ypu see?" walled Kvclyn, 'lies a farmer. And I vo seen cnougn 01 inii Frank's my own cousin.

I've seen more today than you could tell me in a week. That's why I sent Hugh away. He a got hosts of relatives, ton, and he's tho saino sort of man Frank Is. It you can't manage Frank I could never manage Hugh, nnd I'm not going to try It." Amelia sat very still. Sho' confronted a revelation that astonished her. Hut now, when sho saw that she had harmed not only herself but Kvelyn, sho was frightened and aroused. "When a woman loves a man as well as you lova Frank and I loyo Hugh, Kvelyn wild, "she'll put un with anything from lihli. Love, not life, Is n woman s real slave-driver. I'll bo free at least. Amelia drew a deep breath. nut if I can provo to you that I've helped to make Frank wjiat ho Is? If I can sipy you that ho can be Improved" Kvelyn laughed dryly. ".Show me, then I I'm from Sllssaurl," sho said. "l'yll." vqwed Amelia, "and If I sue ceed, will you marry your Hugh? Kvelyn was sobbing on her shoulder, Amelia did succeed, though perhaps she never could have dqne so had she fought for herself alone. Uut the thought pf Kvelyn stiffened her resolve when she would have dle.1 rather than have hard wprds with her husband. As he saw tnaf she really' was determined to demand her rights, he conceded them with more and mp.ro Bruce. The house was repaired and a nuinNr of lavor-savlns devices Installed.

Tills Is not nn Implication that the pro duction 'was sccnlcnlly inadequate or bis tnionlrnlly luetrcdtlvc. for It luul very den nlto claims on attention, Interest nnd praise. This, loo, despite manifest limitations nnd deficiencies that sometimes passed from mere tendency Into positive defect. Hut the chief laudation must bo thnt tho performance brought Ibsen to tho stage, showed him In tho medium through which he sought tho expression of his nrt. llenrlk Ibsen, of all the great dramatists, must bo seen In the theatre, must not bo rend In the chamber. lie wrote, in his prime period, da house not closet dinmn. llo has no lesnnant lines for lotund enunciation, no rhetoric to set and color scenes. In the tircek dramaturgy the speci mens that have been given In recent years have nttvayn conveyed nn impression of the curious' reconstruction of tho antique; seldom havo they had gleams of tho pul-' sating passion of human llfo except In tho decadent modernistic versions of u Hoff maniisthal "Klektra," set to tho horrific score of a Strauss which contains the Kalliarsis of "pity and terror." 13vin in liiipiolscd nmpltbeatres they have seldom restored the classic effect, possibly becauso there was no community of Interest, no con tact, bi'tfccn their audiences nnd ours. Shakespeare, even, goes better In the reading than docs his great Scandinavian colleague. Ktlznhcthati limitations of stnge craft foiced the dramatists of those spacious days In bo us bpaclnus In their lines, to build llio scenic environment out of rare poetry, to utilize the- projecting "apron" Mage for narrative nnd descrlpme declama tion With Ibsen's "picture" ytngi In which everything Is detailed, dovetailed, articu lated, economized. In n frame, ns :i pic torial "nimpositlon," the stage, the modern stage ns It technically developed from his works, Is tho only medium for tlioso works. Ilenco the Stage Society performed a laud able work In giving Ibsen nn ho designed ins plays should lie given. It is ten years tmw since Nazlnvva did "A Doll's House" here for the last time. It Is well nigh thirty years since Hcatilco Cameron first did mis sionary work for Ibsen, by producing tills very same specimen, this side of the Atlantic. Within that score of seasons tills iml other Ibsen plays havo been sel tlomly presented. Yet It is a truism, nnd perhaps patronizing, to say thnt they have their Interest and claims. Such a performance ns that last night. despite Its defects, tile most serious of which was the elimination of a number of salient passages In tho richly human dialogue, com municated the thrill of tho drama of con flict and stress which has, only tho sensa tion of emotion nnd none of that of event to attract and bold attention. The acting moved Irresistibly nnd Inovltnhly forward. Tho tolls of tho plot gripped and con stricted. The characters wero vital In their tensity despito laxity of emotional force. And tho famous slamming of the door at tho climax, which likewise slammed tho door on the stago conventions of thn wcll mado play of Scrlbo and Dumas (lis, It was noticeable, had quite tho olden shock of older performances. Noticeable, too. was It that wo have outgrown Ibsen somewhat. Miss Ilaor Is a young actress. Sho real ized ery well tho "Doll" of tho title, and It wns not to her discredit that sho had not tho pantherltio passion of Alia Nazl mova or tho psychological subtlety of Sirs. Flske, to which theso ripened actresses worked up for their climax. Tho Ilelmcr of Mr. Wliltnoy and the Krogstad of Mr. Fox wero smqothly enacted and tho sub sidiary roles fully deserved tho epithet capable. "A Doll's Houso" can become moro than a namo anil an historical interest In tho drama to such of tho younger generation as may wish t" visit tho Little Theatre this week, to which period tho "run" will be confined.

Milton). Tho marriage of Walllcs and Deth Forrester (Ol!o Itcm lcy) is also promised In the near future.

Julian Johnson, who probably has more critical brains than any other man In the film Industry, has called attention to Lewis J.' Sclznlck's nttempt, in ' "Tho Common Law." to put across something new on the screen tho novel. "Tho Price She Paid" Is another Instance of this producer's pio neering ambition. Not much nttcntlon Is given to mclodramntlc thrill, to conventions of plot or situation. The whole focus of the piece Islmracter, psychology nnd life. Consequently people are disclosed In tho course of thy tale who actually hae bad as well as good sides, who do cruel and perfectly probable tilings, who. without sac rificing Ihch sympathetic appeal, aro Scnu Ino creatures of Impulse, desire, conlllctlng emotions. All this Is ulded by Ihc extreme ly long and commentary captious. Tho novelist's satlro Is trenchant. Up draws bounders and sensualists, society women who nre withering, well. To do this, and to get It over In photoplay, suspense and galvanic shock must bo and have been sacrlllced. Sincerity takes tho place of nrtllico. The production Is handsomely set and phoWigiaphed, and naturally acted. 13s peclally good Is David Powell. Miss Young also docs somo clever and pictorial play ing. Altl"rilA "A Tale of Two Cities."
