FOSDICK COMMISSION
LAUDS PHILADELPHIA
Board That Assailed Vice
Finds Cily Most Hospitable
to Sailors
Philadelphia has been declared th
most hofpliable of 300 rltles with regard
to the relationship between the fighting
man and the public, according to a re.
port filed In Washington by the Fosdlck
commission on training camp activities.
This same commission some time ago
declared Philadelphia a city of Immoral
surroundings unfit for the fighting man.
Its report resulted in Colonel Charles B,
Hatch being sent here by Secretary
Daniels as tho law-enforcing officer In
the navy's crusade against vice.
It also resulted in a police upheaval
In this city, during which Superintend-
- ent Robinson was. given a leave of
absence of a month and Captain Will
iam B. Mills was Installed as acting
police head. Mr. Mills Is now acting
asslttant superintendent of police, direct
ly In charge of 'ridding tho city of ce.

ing flie normal social relationship be

delphia," eays the commission's latest
rtport.

PRINCESS THEATRE
NOW AN "INSTITUTION"
Theatilcal "Institutions" In America
hae of late years seldom survived een
the most careful nurturing. The consist
ent and characteristic merit of such mu
sical plays as "Oh, Boy" and "Very
Good Kddle," respectively offered In
Philadelphia during 1918 and 1917. Is
evidence, howeer, of the very distinc
tive standard of quality maintained in
at least one New, York playhouse
through-jut several seasons. This "type"
theatro Is the Princess, conducted by
F. Ray Comstock as s. producing center
of Intelligent, dainty and attractively
staged musical comedies.
There has been no departure from the
principles governing this "Institution"
since Mr, Comstock first presented "No
body Home" there In August, 1915. Bv
this time not even London's Gaiety fa
more typical of a specific brand of light
entertainment than Is New York's
Princess.
Philadelphia lias seen all of this
theatre's offerings save the present, one.
This successor to "Nobody Home,"
"Very Good Eddie," "Love o' Mike" and
"Oh, Boy," Is "Oh, Lady, Lady," which
has been already booked as an early
attraction at the Adclphl Theatre next
fall.
Once more a Trlncess Theatre libretto
has been furnished by clever Guy Bolton
and P. G, Wodehouse, and again Jerome
Kern has furnished the pleasing score.

ON COLONIAL BILL
Svbil anc, Covent Garden Artist, To
Make Debut Here Next Week
Sbll Vane, a dainty Welsh girl,
makes her Philadelphia debut at the
Colonial on Monday Miss Vane,
clulstcned by a London music critic as
"a pocket prima donna," comes here
with the commendation of the musical
authorities of London and New York,
after a brief concert engagement In New
York city, and a twelve weeks' engage
ment as a soloist at the New York Hip
podrome. Her first success was at Co
vent Garden, where she appeared, and

Baptist Mission Hall at Cardiff She
sang Gretel with well-known London
artists, and won a notable success.
After two years at Covent Garden she
came to New York, where she gave a
series of concerts nnd volunteered for
Red Cross work. At a concert at the
Metropolitan Opera House where she ap
peared with Emmy Drstinn, Julia Culp,
Olive Fremstad, Amato. John MeCor
mlck and many other artists, she scored
her first American hit, and it was at
this entertainment that she was heard
by Charles Dillingham, who sent for her.
He wanted her to appear at the Hippo

great stage. One appearance, however,
relieved his fears. Miss Vane will ap.
pear at the Colonial In a novel act, as
sisted by two Philadelphia musicians.

evil. It Is declared that more divorces
are granted even ear In the l nl ed
States than In any other country in the
world with the single exception of
Japan. Statistics show that between
1886 and 190G there were 12.S3..044
marriages In the United I States and dur
ing the same period 820,264 divorces.
This Is approximately ono divorce to
every twelve marriages.
Frank Llovd, who Is the author ond
director of "The Blindness of Divorce,
sas that In this picture he has tried ,
to show a man who was correct In all
"his dealings with his wife and society,
but who withheld himself from 1Ib home,
with the result that the divorce court
was flnallv appealed to for a solution
of his problem. The man retained his '

"This Is the age of Intense individual
ism." maintains D. W. Griffith, producer
of "Hearts of the World," the war film
now at the Garrlck Theatre "War de
nies individuality to men. War Is out
of tune with the times. This Is one
of the strongest reasons why we must
fight on at any cost until uennany is
beaten. The giving of world-power to
Germany would mean the submersion of
the Individual. It means turning men
Into machines. It means crushing every
human soul Into a mold. Germany, in
devoting herself to the glorification of1
war, has destroyed Its glories in seek
ing to transform a nation Into an army,
she has made armies forever distaste
ful, save as an instrument against mad
militarism."
