There Is a laugh linked to every lino and Roger Imhofs Impersonation of the old "Tad" Is delicious and legiti mate acting. Kvo Tanguay, in whoso praise many' an adjective, has limped back to tho dictionary in a hlnklng con dltlon, was the headline, and managed to win warm approval. Jinny others, however, liked ,hcr nerv ous and strident delivery ot her teven numbers which Is a low nverago for Kvu. She usually does a dozen before they let her go. Her costumes, as usual, were "different," although not so "dif ferent" as In other seasons, her best creation being ono mado up entirely of dollar bills real ones. Maybe the sight of so much real cash paralyzed tho hands of pome of the audience so they could not make known their apprecia tion. One song, "IMcase Don't Forget Me When I'm Oonc." really had a note of heart In It, nnd a song at the finish about the old men getting tho girls while the young ones are away to war had -a touch of character In It that was well done and leads one to tho sus picion that Tanguay Is a long way ahead In real ability of the shouting,' rough "I-Don't-Care" comedienno we all know. Howard and White do well with "The CJadabouts." which hits home to many people, but why do they spoil It nt the finish with tho "for sale" signs on the twin beds? It was clever and artistic up to that point. The Three Romanes arc tho usual trio of dancers; Rose and Moon, programmed as singers and dancers, danco wejl : Dorothy Oranvlllo leaves her well-done character Imper sonations to do some' ordinary songs that gives her act a mixture that Buffers thereby. -She cannot sing and should thereforo' stick to her Beatrice Herford type of work In lyrics. Bert Hunlon apes Ralph Herz In gesture, Intonation and delivery In everything that ho does. Although his material was good, It did not bring gratfylng results. Maria Lo, with two beautiful girls as moacis, gave porcelain statuettes In human guise, while Joseph De Kos Company Juggled cleverly. ' tho star In this production gives it value, although the play Is so .well constructed that almost any actress of fair ability .could portray tho character of tho op pressed girl. Another factor In the success of this offering la the ery capable direction of Emllo Chautard who has faithfully Imparted to tho tcreen tho author's Ideas. The story, whllo not entirely new. Is so well de- eloped that It makes nn effective screen sctnarlo. Of the many parts that have been re. corded In the celluloid by Clara Kimball I Young this one of Margarot Case, tho stenographer and parole breaker. Is one of the best. She not only Is a good emo tional actress but sho has a keen Insight of rcallsVi. Tho Introduction In the photoplay of "KM McCoy" (Norman Selby) li hardly necessary, although . what little acting nc Is called upon to i wedding of two people brought together by his dark endeavors. Hmmy Wchlen as a musical student whose attempt at suicide wins her n husband Is excellent In the leading fcmlnlno part. Joseph Kllgour, whoso work was so good with the old Vita graph Stock Company, Is admirably cast ns tho confidence man. As a millionaire Henry Kolker not only looks the part, but acts It with skill. Donald McBrlde Is a music teacher and Clarence. Heri tage, a maestro. Others whose acting contributes to tho support of tho star are Fanny Cogan. Rlcca Allen, Richard Thornton, Hugh Jeffrey. The first of a eerlea of rcreen stories said to be. based upon the plots of tho Cterman propagandists In this country which wore exposed by the efforts of tho Secret Service Department under the direction of former Chief Flynn was shown under the title of "Tho Uaglo's Kye."

"The Little Belgian" Is a fearful and n wonderful thing It is effulgent with a light that never was on land or sea As a collection of platitudes It Is em barrassingly gencroua; as a pay It doesn't exist Iirnmatlcally speaking, It Is neither llsh, llcsh, fowl nor good red herring. Tho familiar stage puppets that have spouted bromides from time Immemorial arc galxonlied Into fresh speech and action. Their course Is as guiltless of suspense as a graven Image; the plot speedily becomes as obvious as a check erboard Forthright melodrama, how ever deficient In literary polish or fidel ity to life, serves as Its own Justifica tion, within Its narrow Held, If It can "deliver tho punch." Comedy may make no pretensions to originality, yet cvoko spontaneous mirth. But when both these elements are diluted to the consistency ot skimmed milk and mixed together, the composite flavor is not one to whet tho discriminating appetllo for drama. The entlro action of tho play passes on a comfortablo Hngllsh estate In tho early days ot the war. Threo Belgian refugees-- man, wlfo and seventecn-yenr-old daughter hae been given shelter bv the English family. Their ragged, barefoot appearance may typify tho popular conception of the stricken Bel gians, hut since they have found their Kngllsh haven at least long enough to bo provided with respectahlo elothes, It scarcely reflects credit upon their host's hospitality or the play's verisimilitude. The "little Belgian" steps easily Into the shoes worn by the "poor hut honest wolklng goll" of earlier days. So It Is her predestined lot to lose her heart to the caddish British youth about to go to war and who Is engaged to a selfish nnd shallow Hngllsh girl. When tho In evitable eeqiiel Is worked out and the wronged little Belgian Is nsked by the youth'H mother to carry her coming sor row forth to parts unknown, there Is no raging snowstorm, It Is true, but Its nlnce Is nulto adequately taken by a noisy and realistic thunderstorrrtwniear. New Yoe!;, March 10. Nat f. Goodwin simply won't do ns a movie, stnr, according lo Clif ford B. Hfcrmon, president of the Mir ror Film Company, who glxes threo reasons for his opinion. First, Nat has to bo handled with gloves Second, ho Just won't show up at the studio on time. Third, ho rometlmes has to have violet-ray treatment and vinegar baths In tho middle of the night In order to get him on the Job the next day ul all. These were nil little fallings ot the comcdlsn, Mr. Harmon testified, when he appeared before Jmtlce Greenbatim and a Jury In the Supremo Court hero na tho first witness for tho defense In Mr Goodwln'a $13,000 breach of contract suit against the Mirror Company. The contract which the actor alleges was broken was for )1230 a week from Jatius.ry 1 to July 1, 1910. It was offered In evidence, and tho attention of the Jury was rolled to the fact thnt It called for Mr Goodwin's reporting nt tho studio "promptly for rrhearsals." Mr. I'armon' told on tho stand about the company which was putting on the Goodwin picture being sent to Florida and how Mr. Goodwin promised, In spite of his tardiness at the Long Island studio, that wlun he cot to Florida, where" the sun was shining, ho would get up early In the morning and be ready for work. Mr. HnrmonV face reg istered Indignation as he testified " 'I up here working my heart out and you down In Florida joy riding,'" Mr. Harmon declared he tnld to Mr. Goodwin when ho met him later In Jacksonville "Ho was from ono to four hours late every day and the picture cost us fSO.OOO Instead ot tho $7000 wo had expected. "I remonstrated with him about his late hours nnd hi? nervous condition," continued Mr Harmon. "I told him that, since wo had paid him KI.OIW for his services, nc'dld not owe him a cent. He had to take vinegar baths and violet-ray treatment In the middle of tho night to get up for work In the morning. "Nat saldn't It wasn't his fault, but tho fault of the "rotten director.'" James W. Osborne, trial counsel for Mr. Harmon's" film enterprise, told the Jury In his opening that Mr. Goodwin had been discharged for Incompetency nnd that be was "always lato" at the studio. Ho said Mr. Goodwin was out Joy riding und away from tho Florida studio for eleven days and that the com pany was costing $700 a day. Atlantic Pity. March 19. "The people are human, even In war," say. Governor Edge, of New Jersey, In a message through the Atlantic City eiiumber of Commerce to New Jersey seashoro resorts, forecasting un unex ampled season for the large and little eltlc3 which constitute tho "playground for the nation." Omernor l!dcn holds the American public must have recreation, and says prevailing opinion seems to be the war will not last more that) u year at the most. His optlml'llc message follows: "It lias been Interesting to me to ob serve the slight effect tho war and Its ronscqucnt domestic disturbances of va rious kinds have had upon the resort busi ness In New Jersey Thero Is an Indis putable note of optimism among busi ness Interests of tho resorts. This seems III my judgment to ie innpiy jusuueu. "During my not Infrequent visits to Atlantic City, despite tho war, despite the reallpin of the winter, despite the vast nrnblems which are absorbing, the attention of people of all classes, one can still walk along tno Aiianiiu hi boardwalk on n Sunday morning and find It hard lo reallxo all nations and all peoples arc not nt peace. The merett suggestion of war cannot be found. "I am rerenely confident tho war, with lis detrimental effect on transportation Mid other things vital to resort busi ness, will have no serious effect on the principal Industry of our seashore mu nicipalities, catering to tho wants of pleasure nnd health seekers. The peo ple are human, even In war. They are going to continue lo seek both pleasure and health s long ns they live, and naturally the nnlure-preferred seashore at the very doors of our great American centers of population will contlnuo to be the most popular, nnd In fact, the only areesslhlo rest ground for the masses. "Prevailing opinion seems to be the war will not last more than a year at the most.
