cluding tho Stanley, Palace, Arcadia,

the vaudeville houses. Including the
Olobc. Cross Keys, Hroadway, WIN
Ham I'enn, Grand, Nixon and Colo
nial, will 1)0 open as usual.
This will bC mallneo Monday at all
the theatres. Performances will bo gUcn
this afternoon at tho Garrlck, Chestnut
Street Opera Houso, Korrext and tho
Lyric, as well as al all tho' vnudovlllc
and moing-plcturo houses. Tho Ilroad
Street Theatro will not open until to
night, as Cleorgo Arllss, who Is billed to
appear In "Hamilton," will not arrlvo In
Philadelphia In time fcT a matinee.
By giving a inatlnea today tho theatres
Trill make up for the performance which
iflll be lost tomorrow night, when all will
be closed In accordance with orders of
National Fuel Administrator Garfield.
The only entertainment of any kind
available tomorrow night will ba a spe
cial concert at the Academy of Musla
by the Philadelphia Orchestra. Special
permission for this performance was ob
tained hj" tho management of tho Orches
tra, and It la announced that on Wednes
day night tho Orchestra will glvo a
tpeclal concert at the Metropolitan Opera
Hcuro for the benefit of the lied Cross.
The perfomianco of "La Travlatn,"
scheduled to talio place tomorrow night
at tho Metropolitan Opera Home, has
bun postponed. Announcement of the
date of presentation will ba mado later.
As Doctor Garfield naturally had no
desire to harm tho theatrical business,
but In the Issuanco of his order was only
Intplred by the expectation of saving
coal, he agreed to the request from' tho
theatrical manager, that another night
than Monday bo selected as play-less.
Tuesday, as regards attendanco, has
long been nn "olt night" In tho thea
tres. Interest ill ncHeltlci was apt to
Inture good houses on Mondays. If
the attraction was worthy, business
usually picked up toward tho end of
the week. Mondays, Fridays and Sat
urdays are perhaps tho best thoatre
nights In English-speaking countries. In
France conditions are somewhat dif
ferent. Most of tho stages are profit
ably bright on Sundays there, are dark
on Mondays and aro popular magnets on
Thursdays and Saturdays.
Tho full effects of tho revised ruling
cannot all be foreseen, but with respect
to drama, musical comedy, vaudeville
and motion pictures the pituatlon Is now
greatly clarified. Lifting the ban from
Jlondiv will also permit tho continua
tion (of tho Uostoti Symphony heason
here, which otherwise would havo been
impossible. Grund opera, on the other
hand, was literally In danger of being
"frozen out." Tuesday Is Philadelphia
regular night for that form of musical
entertainment. Tho New York Metro
politan Company has announced that It
will fix another night for performances
litre, un Mondays. Wednesdays, Thurs
days. Fridays nnd Saturdays the lyric
organization Is usually engaged In New
Tork. Perhaps Mr. Gatll may evolve
somo plan for splitting his company.
Luckily, however, provision will have
to be mado onlv with rernrri in i
Tuesdays falling within tho duration of
mo coai-saving order. Tlioso dates are
January 21, February 5, February 19,
March 5 and March 12. It Is presum
able that the four performances booked
for dates after the expiration of the ban
Jill be glen as scheduled. These late
dates aro .March 26, April 2, April 8 and
April 10,
In spile of the Tuesday closing order
it may be forecast that the current week
Will prove, In abundance, variety and
merit of dramatic, mus'cal comedy, con
cert, vaudeville and film offerings, ono
or tho most attractlvo of the season,
Jwt since October has a greater wealth
or ambitious footllght -novelties been
listed hero. The Ilroad Street Theatre
will submit Ueorgo Arllss, one of tho
most accomplished of contemporary
tCt ".'. In tna American historical play
Hamilton." William Gillette will ro
turn to the local stage at tho Adelphl In
Uaro Kummer'a much-praised farco "A
Successful Calamity." Tho dainty, amub
mg and tuneful musical comedy "Havo
a Heart" will come back to the Forrest
ineatre, where It achieved a substantial
na deserved success some ten months
ago.

Mathlldo was In touch with tho people.
It was Mathilde, and not ono of hi
agents, who had brought tho word of the
approaching molt of tho coppersmlthV
guild nnd enabled him to check It nl
most before It began. A stole, this
Mathlldo with her tall, sparo nguro and
glowing eyes, stole and patriot Once
every month sho burned four candles
before the shrine of ur Lady of Sor
rows In tho cathedral, because of four
sons she had glen to her country.
On the evening of the day Hedntg had
mado her futile appeal to the King, the
Chancellor sat alone. Ills dinner, nl
most untasted, lay at his elbow It was
9 o'clock. At something after 7 he had
paid his evening Islt to the King and
had found him uneasy and restless.
"Sit down," the King had raid. "I
need steadying, old friend."
"Steadying, aire?''
"I hae had a l!t from HedKli:.
Mather a stormy one, poor child." Ho
turned and nxed on his Chancellor his
faded eyes. "In this course that you
hae laid out, and that I am following,
as I always hae" Irony this, but some
truth, too "have you no misgivings?
You still think It Is the best thing?"
"It Is the only thing."
But all this haste," put In tho King
querulously. "J., tlmt so necessary?
Iledwlg begs for time. Sho hardly knows
tho man."
"Time! But 1 thought " Ho hesi
tated. How say to a dlng man that
time was tho one thing ho did not have?
"Another thing. She was Incoherent,
but I gathered that there was Koine ono
else. Tho whole Interview was cyclonic.
It seems, however, that this young pro
tego of yours, Larlsch. has been making
love to her over Otto's head."
Mettllch's face hardened, a gradual
process, as tho news penetrated In all
Its significance.
"I should Judge." the Ktnr went on
relentlessly, "that this vaunted affection
of his for the boy Is largely assumed,
a cover for other matters. But," ho
added with a flicker of humor, "mv
granddaughter assures me that It Is sho I
wno lias mado tho advances. I bellevo
sho asked him to elope with her, and
no reiuseui"
"A boy-and-glrl affair, sire. He Is
loyal. And In all of this, you and I
are reckoning without Karl. Tho Prin
cess hardly knows him, nnd naturally
she Is, terrified. But his approaching
visit will mako many changes. Ho is a
lino figure of a man, nnd women "
"Exactly," said tho King dryly. What
tho Chancellor meant was the women
always had loved Karl, and the King
understood.
"His wild days are over." bluntly ob
served the Chancellor "He is forty,
sire."
"Aye," said tho King. "And at forty
a bad man changes his nature and puri
fies himself In marriage ! Nonsense, Karl
will ba as ho has always been. But wo
havo gone Into this before. Only, 1 am
sorry for Hedwlg. Hilda would havo
stood It better. She U like her father.
However" hla voice hardened "the
thing Is arranged and wo must. carry
out our contract. Get rid of this young
Larlsch." h
Tho Chancellor sat reflecting, his chin
dropped forward on his breast. "Otto
will miss him.''
tt MMLS'S ART
UNMARRED BY FILMS
Adaptability of Winsome
Heroine of "Hamilton" Re-
vealed in Contrasting Fields I
By the Photoplay Editor
Jeanne Kagels, whoso iortrayal of
Mrs. Heyuolds In the aoorgo Arliea pro
duction of "Hamilton," to bo revealed at
tho Broad Street Theatre, provides one
of the most charming notes In that
delightful entertainment, Is an actress
whoso experlenco refutes tho commonly
accepted theory that employment In the
making of movlng-picturo films Is cal
culated to destroy completely whatsoever
legitimate dramatic ability the Indi
vidual player may possess. Those who
aro familiar with Miss Kagels's per
formances In "Outcast," "Disraeli" and
"The Professor's Love Story," In which
she evidenced great technical nldll,
charm of personality and artistic Intel
ligence of tho highest order, will doubt-les-
bo astonished to learn that sho has
figured as tho heroine of many a pic
torial 6tory shown on the screen. Such,
however, Is tho case.
To thai considerable portion of the
amusement-seeking public which pa
tronizes tho moving-picture hall. Miss
Eagela Is Indeed, a very well-known
and much admired nrtlst. Her distin
guished beauty anu grace of person
made her a most desirable subject for
the mechanical camera, and It Is com
prehensible that the pecuniary Induce
ments offered to her by the tradesmen
In cinema 111ms were so considerable as
to explain. Indeed to Justify, her tem
porary abandonment of the legitimate
stage.
That Miss Fagles's art has not been
Impaired by her service In the moving
pictures Is due, no doubt, In some de
gree, to the fact of her youth and her
consequent adaptability to change of
metier. What to an older player would
have been artlstlo tragedies were doubt
less to her merely restful adventures of
the. moment forgot as soon as ended.
She emerged from her experience quite
free of those peculiar crudities of pan
tomime and facial expression tnat seem
needful attributes of tho moving-picture
mime: her purity of enunciation was
undented, and she brought again to her
work on the dramatic stage that under
standing of characterization and con
tinuity of thought which, It Is believed
by many, cannot possibly survive In one
who has taken part In the manufacture
of films.
The present high accomplishment of
Miss Eagles In the spoken drama
proves, It would seem to the unpreju
diced, that the moving pictures aro not
by any means as harmful to the art of
the players concerned in their making
as Is frequently maintained by those
who have at heart an abiding Interest
In the welfare and the artistic dignity
of the dramatlo stage. '

loyal. Hedwlg has thrown herself nt
him. For that, nlrC, sho Is responsible,
not he."
"Then get rid of her." growled the
King
The Chancellor rose. "If lho situa
tion is ft to me, sire," he said, "1
will promlte two things. That Otto
will keep his friend, and that tho Prin
cess Hedwlg will bow to your wishes
without further argument."
"Do It, nnd God help you'" said the
King, again with the flicker of amuse
ment. '
The Chancellor Ind gone home, walk
ing heavily along tho darkening streets.
Onco ngaln he had conquered. The
reins remained In his gnnrlod old hands.
And he was about to put the honor of
tho country Into the keeping of the
son of Maria Menrod, whom ho had
onco loved.
So now ho sat In his study and wait
ed. A great meerschaum pipe, stag's
head with branching antlers and colored
dark with years of uso, lay on his
tray; and on his knee, but no longer
distinguishable In the dusk, lay nn old
daguerreotype of Maria Menrad.
When ho heard Nlkky's quick step
as he camo llong the tiled passage ho
slipped tho case Into the pocket of hln
shabby house-coat and picked up the
pipe
Nlkky saluted and made lil wav

he npologlied. "We found our man, and
he Is safely Jilled. Ho mado no re
sistance." "Sit down." said tho Chancellor. And.
touching a bell, he asked Mathlldo for
coffee. "So we havo him." he reflected.
Tho next thing Is to discover If ho
knows who his nssallants were. That,
and tho person for whom ho acted
however, I sent for you for another
reason. What Is this about the Princess
Hedwlg?"
"The Princess Hedwlg!"
"What folly, boy! A young girl

for su.ch a bit of romantic trifling you
would' ruin yourself. It Is ruin. You

"I nm sorry," Nlkky said simply "As '
far as my career goes, It does not mat- '

"A trifle late."
"But," Nlkky tpoke up valiantly, "It ,
Is not romantic folly In tho way voit

"Madncs?," commented the Chancel- I

Tho Chancellor tilled his pipe from a i

"May I ask." he said at last, "that '

DONALD BRIAN FIGURES
AS FOOD PROFITEER
Light-Footed Actor Makes
Easy Money in Red Cross
( Drive
l Donald Brian, he of the lightsome foot
in llcr Iteglment," stopped dancing ono
day last week long enough to figure as
a food profiteer. It Is not likely, how
ever, that ho will be denounced by Food
Administrator Hoover, because tho sale
manipulated by the famous waltzer was
all for the benefit of the lied Cross.
It happened on Thursday night, when
tho second of a. series of auctions for
tho benefit of tho Hed Cross was held
In tho Crystal lloom of tho Hotel Colon
nade. The curtain had hardly fullen
after the evening performance of "Her
Heglmcnt" when Brian waltzed Into a.
taxi, drove to tho hotel, nnd assumed
tho role of auctloneer-ln-chlef He sold 1
all sorts of articles to tho guests as
sembled In the dining rooms, nnd In ten
minutes had realized Jioo for the P.cd
Cross. Then he departed to attend a I
supper in honor of his wife's birthday. '
w,hJle,thf .bld1I"g went on until another
$100 had been realized. Mr. Brian was I
satisfied with his achlevment, It Is need-'
ess to say, for In the ten minutes he
iiuu exactly cquaicu tho lecord set by
Kaymond Hitchcock nt tho same hotel
a week before, when "Hltchlo" auctioned
off 80 worth of merchandise for the
Red Cross In eight minutes ten dollars
a mlnuto bolng tho gall set by both
stars
And the food profiteering? Well, the
very first article that Brian sold was an
apple pie. a rlno Juicy one that was worth
perhaps seventy cents. He sold It for ex
actly $7, n profit of 1000 per Cent. .
