Tha play Is a comedy srama In four acts.

His selection of songs Included ny of the old and new Irish songs that MVe thrilled muato Iovora for Uio last gen eration. The action: of the play Is replete with jwrtllng situations that are intensely grlp Plnr, and In addition the play Is filled with 5art interest nnd has brilliant flashes of comedy running through It that kept the Mdlence amused.

Hymer and Others Round Out Excellent Bill I'he of the offerings nt Keith's this week are superfine and most of the others aie simply fine. This accounts for tho numer ous encores and w.nes of laughter that Erected last nlfcht'H pleasing performances, with their exceptionally largo casts. Sallie Flsh-r, dainty In her hoop'-klrts, appealing In personality and linpressho of oIce, uns showered with honors at the conclusion of "Tho Choir llehoarsal," a unique and wholesomo sketch taking one to Tuckettown, Muss, in the late reentles. Tho quaint atmosphere of the New I tig land lllage and the singing and acting of tho ca-st contributed to the dellghtful ness of the playlet Another rather elaborate offering, pro oking more guffaws, was John H, Hymcr's "Tom Walker in Dixie," which made a decidedly good Impression on Us first ap pearance here. The ' darky'1 humor of Hymer as "Tom," his ludicrous bargaining with the devil a la Faust and the absurdity of his position prevented offense at tho ex ecution chamber scene, w hlch otheru lse would have been grisly. Rivaling this for laughs was Henry B. Toomer, with JIarty Voodworth. I'ranlt Mitchell and lather Drew, a Philadelphia girl, In "Tho Head liners," a well-enacted story of aude vllle's behind-the-scenes, nd nlso tho pop ular "old-timers," Sam and Kitty Morton, with "two of their youngest." Kresh plaudits wcio won by this stctlon of tho Morton family. The sweet oico of Daisy Jean, tho tal ented Bolgian musician, and her expressUe playing of the piano, violin, cello and harp were encored time and again She sang In French and English with much feeling Gulnan and Newcll's "alleged Chinese circus," Included fun ordinarily not found In thrilling acrobatics and whirling danc ing. A similar theme of ncrobatlo dancing nnd tumbling was offered by the four Amaranth girls In dllllcult, llghtnlng-llko postures. Emily Francis Hooper's grace In her song-and-dance with Herbert Mar bury was well received. The program be gan with patrlotlo cartoons and pictures and ended with the final episode of the "Patrla" film, with Mrs. Vernon Castle In the title role. Jansen & Co. Nixon Grand The very last word In "mystery satis faction" was given at the Grand jesterday by Jansen and company, "expert magi cians." The wizards of the occult had tho slolght-oMiand art down so nno that tho audlenco became dazed by a rapid-fire suc cession of mysterious events. The entire company quickly established themselves as magician nrtlsts of the first class. Other acts wore rull of color and pep. The "Late Van Camp" was a good feature, and "Consul, the Monk," furnished a lot of amusement and food for thought. Dooley and Nelson were there with a lot of new humor ammunition, and El Cota and Billy K Wells provided a bunch of rare enter talnment. Tho pictures were good. Bobby Heath Globe The ever-popular Bobby Heath, assisted by Anna Long and a number of well known Philadelphia girls, stars in this week's bill at tho Globe. The net was prop crly headlined, as Heath drew no end of laughs and applause. The revue for such It was called-had In It in addition to the usual pretty girls. ots of action, and was well staged.

These two eminent pianists Joined hands (or nearly that) In the Academy of Music ycstciday afternoon In a double recital that was Instinct with some, of the finest things In music, frcm tho gravo har monies of Bach to the dancing trllles ot Arensky that closed the program. There was a largo audience, patriotically Inclined, slnco tho occasion was to benefit the Navy League, nnd, as usual, turbulently en thusiastic to the point of negligible man ners. Its Infelicities were mercifully oxer looked by Mehsrs, Bauer and OabrllowltMjli, oven when tho sequence of the delicious Momrt sotiita was rudely broken There are several reasons why two-piano recitals mlgh the encouraged They sparsely dot othcrwlso thickly occupied musical seasons. They mako available some delecta ble music not heard at tho customary con certs and recltnls But tho main atgumont for them Is that they breed n friendly nnd Interehtlng rivalry, not necessarily one of noise, but honest artistic aggression, coupled with a brotherly (or sisterly) comprehen sion. Tho whimsies of "genius" cannot very well afford self-display In sudi mo ments. James Hunel.er, in a recent brilliant arti cle, deplored the vanishing grand manner among plnnlsts. Recalling tho days of leo nine porformers. ho surveyed modern condi tions and felt them to bo lacking In some of the magnificent qualities of other times. Two-piano recitals have this also to bo said for them: They have a tendency to check the present popularity of "cloistered" and "sacrosanct" styles. In themselves, these styles do actually demand the understand ing of a master Interpreter. But there Is a chance that they may so encrdach on tho thunders of the kcyboatd that the latter dls oppear and are forgotten. So estcrday' recital was lacking neither In stiong 'emphasis nor In delicacy of indi vidual inflection. Tho Bach prelude and fugue had all the massive sculpture of that composer and were, to hoot, admirable In the call-and-answer effect. The sparkling humor and Interluded wlstfulness of the Mozart sonata was a little marvel of sweet ness and light, each piano giving superb team work In all the movements. Other numbers wero a Chopin rondo, the "Im promptu Rococo" of Schutt, two things by Salnt-Saens and the "Silhouette" suite of Arensky. Tho reviewer was unable to hear them all. Each one that he did bear con firmed the well-founded belief that Messrs, Gabrllovvltsch and Bauer are technicians and poets In Ivory ot the most august stand ing, and, further, that they have those vir tues of modesty and manly strength that are Inseparable from the most Ingratiating talents. ' 11. D. 20TH CENTURY MAIDS CHARM CASINO AUDIENCE Jim Borton and Bevy of Laughsmiths Ply Their Trade at Burltsquo Houso The "Twentieth Century Maids" brought a mighty flock of laughter to the Casino Theatre last night. Headed by Jim Borton, :there Is a coterie of funmakers who would bring a grin to the faco of an Indian cigar sign. The title of tho piece Is "The Avia tor" am into Its lines havo been stuffed Millies to tho bursting point. Most of the dances used by tho company are original, and they show up quite as well as if they had been carefully studied out from some other production. There is a big pantomime scene with Arllne Donalre and Jules flaBerbe, who Interpreted those dances for which they Were famed in Paris, "My Honolulu Girl" Broadway Alice Berrl, the "Doll Comedienne," made a decidedly good impression at the Broadway with her dainty songs, dancing and keen wit In the headllncr for the first halt ot the week, "My Honolulu Girl," in which she was supported by a caet of twenty. The production is a tabloid musi cal comedy presented by Norman Frlder vvold. It Is full of good music In individual songs and chorus, and was well received by the audience. The photoplay presentation, "The Dere lict," featuring Btuari uoimes, was also well received. Other acta on the bill were "Mama" and Hill and Ackerman. The headllner for the second half of the week will be "Roaeland," a girlie girl act with large cast in eongs and stories, Farma to Concentrate on Necessities IIAZLETON, April 21.

We havo seen, before this, photoplays dealing with loimg things whose papas were gamblers There is no novelty In any of the situations Yet it is all quite pretty and attractive. If never very close to life. PlUorlally, the production claims attention on the score of Its rich, effective, homelike decorations, and Its lim pid camera-wor.k. It Is the sort of movie calculated to draw a full house of women nnd children, even on a warm afternoon. Such was the caso at the Stanley yesterday. ARCADIA "The Desert Inn, nndr. with William S. Hart. Kavltee-Trl-Story by Mar- tin llrown. Din-cud by Mr. Hart, rhoto. craptnil hy Juu August The old Hart characters and crises will not down Who wants them to? As long as a photoplay actor can keep his stories at the human pitch, glvo them the uccent of flncerlty In playing nnd direction, why demand fresh material? In this caso It Is one of the two stock Hart situations that s usedthe saving of a child beloved by Mr Hart after tho boy has been kidnaped and made a decoy to entrap his protector. A lot of Ingenuity has gone Into this part of tho tale. So when the blase reviewer Is about to think he knows the whole climax from beginning to end he finds some vig orous new touches. For example, Hart dls tracts his foes' attention by causing a barrel to roll into the danco hall where they are waiting and then "covering" them while ho gets possession of the youngster. Somo of the riding in the mountainous passes Is "shot" against backgrounds of brave pictorial merit. The desert stuff Is also manipulated beautifully. It's hardly ncces bary to conclude with praise for tho simple nctuallty of the acting. This Is exception ally good In all cases, liio photography varies from bad to fine. VICTORIA "The Kternnl Sin." Selznlck Hronon. -with Florence Iteed. Story adapted from Huso. Directed hy Herbert llrrnon. The growing reputation of Herbert Brenon ns one of the big minds of plcturc craft rests on something besides dolluis and publicity. Whatever ho does (nnd he chooses somo foolish things to do) he docs with keen and penetrating knowledge of his Implements, of the art possibilities of the profession, of detail and sweep of photo play settings and exterior shots. "Tho Ktornal Sin" sounds like a garden vnrlety thriller. In reality it Is a sympathetic, drumatlc. Incisive story ot Lucrezia Borgia, of her ltfve for her brother, ot tho cruelty wrought In her mind by his murder and ot her subsequent poisonings. The producer has evaded neatly tho temptation to put raw melodramatic stuff abovo dignity, psy chology and genuine drama. Enhancing these efforts Is scrupulous care In archi tecture and costuming. And the Individual acting bf Miss Heed (how stupid producers havo been not to uso her oftener, with her rare talent!) Is another merit.

"She" is a very interesting bit of work. Not that It lacks unconsciously humorous phases. Clne matogruphlcally, It holds tho eye through out, so deft Is the double printing, so astuto the directorial Judgment, so eal!y work maniiim all the tricks. Of course, no pro ducer, no matter how skilled, could quite take the burlesque edge off the yarn. A lady who spends 8000 years adjusting tulle veils, ordering enemies thrown to the alli gators and making snakelike motions may be "the eternal woman." She certainly doesn't strike present-day Ideals as very poetto or credible. Mlsa Suratt Is ever "so tniirh better than Tttvals Bara or Pearson.
