Nothing moro Instinct with charm than
The Prlmroso TUns'' has como from tho
lAeky laboratories lately. Aiming at no
iplne-twltchlng thrills, It tells simply anil
sincerely a Btory real, everyday, pathetic
without silliness, touchlnc without mawk
lihness. And It brings Maa Murray, whose
other name Is beauty, Into tho glow of
Illusive lighting nnd romnrkablo settings
that Is customary In Lasky products. This
time she Is n crlpplo In tho "incurable
ward of a hospital. Tho love Interest be
tween herself and a young doctor, nt first
a slave to science but later a humanist as
well, is obvious enough and lacks plot
twists, but It carries the natural, sympa
thetic qualities of tha situations nicely from
screen to spectator. Tho co-operation be
tween authors and director l unusually fine.
They liavo worked together so well that all
the Innate fairy-tale clement of tho tcrlpt
springs to llfo In a series of very lovely
scenes, blended with n realistic part of tho
narrative. Especially Is this trim of the
operation scenes, where fact nnd fancy In
tertwine In some beautiful fndeouts. The
double printing of the Whit Knight's slay-
ng of tho ogro Tain Is another sample of
Imagination rightly realized. Tha picture
also has one of tho best-handled nutomobllo
accidents ever screened. It Is well nctcd.
But, oh, Miss Murray, watch yourself!
Don't spoil 'your prcttlness nnd talent with
camera consciousness and too much arch
ness. XJICAPIA "Skinner's Hubble." Lanay, with
Ilryant Wsahhurn and Hazel Unly. Ktorv
from th "Skinner Series." Adapted nnd
directed by Harry Beaumont.
It Is a good wager that pcop'e who go to
the Arcadia have the most consistently high
taste In plcturo faro of any In the city.
They are willing to overlook sklmplshness
of "production" nnd the lack of extravngant
detail If the management will give them
something credible, entertaining, consist
ent. Apparently the whole "Skinner" series
Is to be shown at this theatre. The second
of the lot, "Skinner's Bubble." isn't quite as
inappy as "Skinner's Dress Suit." but It Is
thoroughly Jolly nnd appealing nnd mighty,
well done as far ns actl:ig Is concerned
Bryant Washburn again proves himself n
Juvenile who can put over character comedy
as well as sentiment. Here he has a neat
little drama with plenty of laughter In It,
and he docs wonders. with the material. Tho
types are good, the photography good and
the Interiors fair without opulence Skln
ner's Bubble" Is not and doesn't pretend to
be a rival to "Intolerance." It's a human,
warm-hearted, comic sketch that demands
Intelligence and a humorous sense In Its
ipectators.
The love borne one another by members
of the samo theatrical family Is proverbial.
The latest lnstanco Is tho Inccs. Italpli
and John, tho former an cx-Vltagrapher and
the latter an ex-Lublner, have Joined hands
and purses to make Inco Productions. Their
announcements have annoyed Brother
Thomas H. to tho point of Issuing an elabo
rate folder. When spread out, this will
make an excellent tablecover for a lunch
ton. With the aid of much orange and
black Ink, tho Kay-Bee producer explains
that he had nothing ti do with the new
coalition and warns exhibitors that they
must not depend on the trade name alone,
but the trademark too. It will bo Interest
ing to read tho comeback from Inco Pro
ductions. )( It Is said that Herbert Brenon wl'l direct

Albert kelsey, architect of the (arson College for (iivls, ami to be placed
in that institution.

IN CARSON COLLEGE FOR GIRLS
Albert Kelsey's Design an Allegorical Vision of
Woman's Life in Which Beauty and Utility
Are Combined With Sympathy
Maiden,' tho Zenith Maiden,' the Eventide
Maiden' nnd 'the Maiden of Night'
These will bo so high from the ground
that their symbolical treatment will not bo
npparent without climbing tho tower, when
It will be roallied that this group of five
crowned by a newly born babo reviews tho
whoso gamut of life good and bad and.
snvo In tho half-draped figure of Night dis
closing the ugly heads of two venomous
vipers for breasts, thero will not be an un
pleasant allusion In tho entire rcheme "
Indeed, tho Ideas which hao Influenced
tho architecture for tho new Carson College
are such humorous, Joy.provoklng ones that
it is difficult to reallte that this anthology
of buildings Is to bo a workshop and every,
day home for girls from six to eighteen
years of ago, who In thero beautiful sur
roundings will learn how to make their
living later on in a cold, cold world. Hut
becauso a place Is beautiful. Mr. Kelsey
holds, is no reason why It should not
bo practical, nnd Carson College, thosn In
terested in It declare, Is Just tho placo to
itovo mis contention.
I$y M
ASK any architect how often the oppor
. tunlty Is given him to translate- his
dreams Into a tangible, constructed edlflco
and he's nlmost certain to answer:
"If I net such n chnnco oneo in a life
time I am a lucky man."
Albert Kelsey, ono of Philadelphia's
most eminent architects, Is a lucky and en
thuslastle man.
A mlrnclo has happened to him, becauso,
having had n very beautiful dream of what
a collcgo for orphan girls should look like,
ho has succeeded In getting that dream
"across" to tho level-headsd, practical,
business-like financiers who nro tho trus
tees of tho Carson College.
Out at Flourtown, wlicro tho slto of tho
college Is. not only one, but a series of edi
fices twenty buildings In all are In the
process of construction. When completed
they will bo the literal translation of Mr.
Kelsey's picturesque vision.
In an Interview that I had with Mr.
Kelsey somo time ago he told mo about the
"anthology" of buildings that ho bad
dreamed out. each to represent a floral Idea.
Ho spoke of tho Violet Homo nnd the Corn
llower Housn and the Primrose Ilouso nnd
of the wonder walk, with Its star well at
one end nnd its moon well nt tho other, until
one forgot entirely that the little Orphan
Annies for whom tho buildings nro to bo
erected usually nro much-pitied creatures.
But today Mr. Kelsey confessed that
thero was a deeper and more significant Idea
Imbedded in his dream, an Idea that ho has
withheld from discussing until now, becauso
only now is ho nble to seo Its development
out nt the college grounds.
The Idea is "an allegorical portrayal of a
woman's life from her own birth to the time
that she gives birth to another little llfo.
Tho first of these allegories, a chubby little
girl baby whom tho sculptor. J. Otto
Sohwoizer, has made look awfully glad to
bo horn, has already been executed. Tho
falenco work has been done by Joseph Dulles
Allen.
LISS
"It Is In brightly colored, delicately
modeled terra ontta," Mr. Kelsey said, "nnd.
partly protected from tho weather, will
occupy n blank wall In a gothlc ambulatory
that adjoins tho Cornflower Building. Sug
gesting bent and light, a golden sun casls
Its rays upward and to tho right mid left.
Out of tho blazing eyo of this rising sun
tho girl baby Is born. Between the rays
of tho sun alternate flutter) of butterflies
mil chains anil fetters symbolizing the
pleasures nnd troubles of life. The butter
flies extend furthest," ho ndded optimis
tically "Tho second allegory, which I have called
'Childhood and Play,' will bo represented
Joyfully. The third, Tilrlhood nnd Studv,'
win bo pleasant but serious. The fourth,
'.Maidenhood nnd tho Melody of Life,' will
bo portrayed with serenity, nnd the last,
'The Olory of Motherhood and tho Mystery
of Tlmo nnd Space,' with Idealistic aban
don." In this day of feminism, with every sec
ond woman bopping off her pedestal tho
belter to clamor for her rights, It does tho
heart good to hear Mr. Kelsey unfold his
plnns for tho nllegorles. Ilo has such do
llclously idealistic notions about those,
pedestals. Ilo really thinks wo belong
there. That fifth allegory, for Instance,
"Tho Olory of Motherhood," etc , a Hatuo on
a high memorial tower to Mr. t 'arson,
raises woman actually nnd symbolically to
such a sublime height that It makes ono
fairly dizzy to contemplate. It.
"In that one," tho architect said en
thusiastically, "I want to suggest tho per
petuation of nil tilings through woman, nnd
It will bo :i sort of review of that endless
chain which Is life. The top of tho memor
ial tower Is to bo light and nlry Oothic

WHEN you were a tiny tot, your mother wore
Kayscr Silk Gloves. As you trotted down Chestnut
Street by her side, you loved to hold her beautiful,
shapely hand.
Can you remember a time when you did not know
that "Kayser" meant silk gloves? And not merely silk
gloves but the finest silk gloves made?
All through the years, Kayser has kept on making
the finest silk gloves- the world knows.
Today, you women of Philadelphia who take pride
in craceful, shapely hands, know that Kayscr Silk Gloves
are the only gloves that have that perfection youwish.
With "Kayser's," you, too, can have the satisfaction of
knowing you are'.perfectly gloved

THE GOOD HEALTH
QUESTION BOX
By DR. JOHN HARVEY KELLOGG
AM. foods may produco disease If taken
In excess, eaten hastily or If Improperly
prepared. Certain food principles and sub
stances are moro likely to produco unpleas
ant results than are others.
Cano sugar, when used very freely, tiro
duces Irritation nnd catarrh of tho stomach
ami sour stomach It Is especially hurm
ful In obesity, arteriosclerosis nnd gastric
ulcer.
Kats. In excess, produco satiety, lessen
production of gastric Julco nnd hinder gas
tric digestion. They causo "biliousness."
Flesh foods must bo eaten with great
caution, if at nil, for the following reasons:
Flesh proteins moro readily undergo pu
trefactlvo decomposition than do vegetoblo
proteins.
Meats of all sorts, even salted and dried
meats, nro virtually always In a state
of beginning putrefaction when purchased.
Heneo great caro must bo taken to seo that
decomposition has not nnvanced so far as
to produce serious poisoning, which some
times happens.
It Is nlso necessary to examine, meats
with great care in order to nvoid Infection
with trichinae, tapeworm, tuberculosis and
other parasites. Tho United States (loveru
ment has seeral times published the warn
ing that tho hogs of tho country nro so gen
erally Infected with trichinae that It Is en
tirely unsnfe to eat pork which has not been
well cooked.
Oyster and other shellfish harbor typhoid
and other germs beneath their shells and In
their Intestines Numerous epidemics of
typhoid havo been traced to their use.
Condiments nro objectionable They causo
catarrh of tho stomach nnd bowels nnd
cirrhosis of the liver.
Tea nnd cofleo nro unwnolesomo bever
ages, having no food valuo unit containing
polrons which nro virtually Identical with

Tho Julco of nny ripe fruit may bo given
to healthy children after the ngo of six
months. It Is n mistaken Idea that It Is
dangerous to give fruit to young children',
but the fruit must be thoroughly ripe. In
tho cases of very young children, who hne
not learned to chew their food thoroughly,
only the Julco or pulp should bo given,

Klnco neuritis has many cnuses. the first
thing Is to removo tho cause, which may
bo n diseased tonsil or n dead or decayed
