V l ' M ',. EVENING PUBLIC LEDGERr-PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 1919 if . Kv H"i IV.) vv i. l V ft h u WOT GOSSIPABOUT PEOPLE Nanry Wynne Hears Tliat Brewster Koons Is III in Florida. The Alexander Yarnalls Are in White Sulphur Springs. Lieutenant Lawrence Lewis Returns From France I WAS so rorry to hear that Breweti1 Koona la quite 111 with bronchial pnc monla. He came back from France qui recently, you remember, and he and Moll after vlsitlnif tho Ballyg (Molly's parent first, went down to Florida to stay with Brewster's father and mother, Mr, and Mrs Bob Koons, who had Bono there for the winter months, t do hope that Brewster Will Improve quickly. The Koons have had o much sorrow with DalS deaf In France In December and were so g'.ad to have Brewster home, It would -e hard for them to have great anxiety about him. His wife was Molly Bally, a cousin of Frances Bally Keen and of Edith Bally Dent. Her parents are tha Charllo Ballya of Strafford. HAVE you heard that the Merlon Is going to have Saturday night dances again? It was one of tho few clubs that did not start In hold'ng dances after the armistice was signed. Now the CJovernbrB have decided to have the Saturday parties once more, and tho first will be held on Washington's Birthday, which, If you re fresh your United States history. Is on February 22. ' There are to be any number of dinners before ttfe dance, and the Satur days thereafter will see many a gay and .dancing thn.r.g. Somehow I have missed these Informal parties at tho clubs more than anything else In the way of eater talnlng. Sometimes you Jmt want to dance, but you don't want to fuss up and wear your best. You get out your old frock that looks nice enough for anything informal and you slip Into the ballroom at the club and dance away as long as you please, and leave when you tre ready with out .any fusa or feathers. It's an agree able way to do at times. ' T HAD been wondering If clthor of Tony Drexel, Jr.'s, brothers would follow his example and marry an American, but from the news received last week ono at least has not, for Louis, the younger, has mar ried Nancy Doreen Grayson, an English girl, daughter of Lieutenant Colonel and Mrs. H. M. Grayson, of London. The news came hero b means of cards which were sent out by the Oraysons announcing that the marriage had taken place on January 20 in. St. Margaret's Church, Westminster. Margaretta Drexel, you remember, married the Viscount Maidstone and Is living in London. Tony seems to be the only ono In his Immediate family who loves America and an American. Ho married Marjorle Gould and he has been in the 'United States army. Armstrong Drexel, tho other brother, is still unmarried. He is tome aviator, from all one hears. And whether for the United States or England, all three men have fought for the Allies. They are fine fellows. T HEAR, the Alex Yarnalls and Letty Mc- Kim have gone .down to White Sulphur for a short time. Alex has been mustered out of the army Just recently, but both Ellse and he had bad cases of flu out West before they were able to return home. However, they did improve and came on here around Christmas time, and since then Letty McKlm, who is Ellse's half sister, returned from Europe, where she has been driving ambulances and doing all kinds of wonderful things. After staying here for a little while with the Yarnalls at the Charl ton Yarnall's house at Seventeenth and Locust streets, they all went down to White Sulphur for a much needed rest. LUTENANT LAWRENCE LEWIS, Jr., Is expected to return from France to Xew York( if he is not already In New York) very soon. All that Lewis family contin gent went on to meet htm. He has a small son Whom he has never seen, you know, because thai young gentleman only came to town in July and his father went over in May. Babies are not always awfully interesting to any one but their mothers when they are only a few weeks old, so it 'must be great to make their acquaintance when they are as far advanced aa Seven months, for they are so cunning then. They notice everything, and pull your hair, if you get near enough, and try to eat everything in sight. They Just are too sweet, aren't they? Lieutenant Lewis and his family will go at onco to White Sul phur and later in the season to Falm Beach, where they have leased the Flagler mansion for the season and where they will give a large housewarmlng in honor of Lieutenant Lewis's return. Mrs. Lewis was Miss Louise Wise, you remember. rpHERE'S to be a largo auction bridge party at the Germantown Cricket Club on the afternoon of the seventeenth, under the auspices of the auxiliary of the Ger mantown Hospital. It seems that the sup plies have been so depleted by the Influ enza epldemlo that these women have decided to uae the proceeds of the card party to buy materials, and then for their Lenten sewing they will make sheets and pillow cases and such for the hospital. The committee in charge, which Is the auxiUx airy, Includes Mrs. Tolbert M. Richardson, :Mrs. William K. Beard, Mrs. George Brown, Mrs. Frederick Dudley, Miss Mary Shoemaker, Miss Alice Wynne, Mrs. Nich olas Potry and Mrs. Edward Welner. Mr. and Mrs. Brown, by the way, are leaving this week, tomorrow, I believe, for New Orleans, where they will spend about three weeks. Mrs. Beard's oldest son, Lieu tenant Bob Beard, is home now from the war, looking very well in spite of his wound, and wearing all kinds of interesting overseas and wound stripes, insignia, Sam Brown belt and everything. , Speaking of Insignia, I passed a marine ' 'bronze cross of somo kind, which might have been a Croix de Guerre, but he went by to fast that I couldn't see. It was very thrilling, and I wanted awfully to ask him all abbut it. It I had, I would not havo , heard much, for. physically big though he is, tho marlno Is usually shy ubout his own , exploits.

A. X'ranlttln. Writ ten by Oeorae Hcurborouah. 8. A. Franklin was at ono time a director under the D. W. Orimth banner, and his work was so capable that It was not long before be mndo a reputntlon of his own. In "The Heart of Wctona" much of the success be longs to htm, for ho has brought out the best of the situations found In the etnge play of the samo name. When the question arises as to the adaptability of stage plays Into the movies there could be no better argument than to look at this picture with Its good acting against an Impressive background of natural scenery. A few weeks no Norma Talmadge ap peared as a Chinese girl In "The Forbidden City," and now she Is cast as an Indian. In this role she gives one of her best screen characterizations. Lenore Ulrlch, whose success was assured In this city during tho bilef stay of "Tlgrr Rose." played the role upon the spoken stage. The plot concerns 'the marriage of an Indian girl to a white man. She Is college-bred and has g'ven her heart to a worthless defaulter, although a friend has married hrr to protect her. It Is a strong play, with plenty of good nctlng. Those In the other roles are Fred Huntley, Thomas Melghan and Gladden James. Trlzma pictures showed tho new color process for the first tlmo In this city. The irgan recital In the morning and the orches tra's rendition of Victor Herbert's "Sercnado" ivere added features. flTANt.FY AND AttCADIA rrlima natural col or clotures. The real attraction at the Arcadia this we'k Is the first showing of the Prlzma nat ural color motion pictures. They aro worth going to see because there Is opened a new field for the camera enthusiasts as well as tho film fan seeking novelty. Ift these pic tures there Is found an opportunity to give unlimited range to the iiso of color as ngninst the currently ustxl regulation black and white photography. The effect Is pleasing to the eye. William Kclley Is to be congratulated on his work In no handling the colors of nature that they may be projected upon the movie screen. The fl'rn Itself differs from the ordinary kind In o much as It Is coated on both sides and the amount of Ugh used to filter through the- film Is reduced. No spe cial attachment Is required, as was previ ously announced. "Kllauea, the Volcano of the Pacflc," was the subject, and It proved nn Ideal ono with which to Introduce tho novelty. ARCADIA "Sanity ntirke of IMHr-lf," with Louis Uennlsrn. Directed by Ira M. Lowry. Following D. W. Orlfuth's lead In returning to tho simple' life- In the movie stories. Ira M. Lowry, of the Betzwood Film. Company, has gone away bnck to the davB when Slegmund Lubln believed that the moving-picture Indus try was yet In Its Infancy. Its latest product, "U-Bar-U," with Loubt Bennlson as a stnr, gives present-dny audiences an opportunity to see what the film fans of the past years wcro wont to call "thrillers." Ilow ever, the hero and heroine nppear In the usual movie embrace at the end of the story and Mr. Uonnlson's "Oh. lioyl" might' have been said because of the story's completion. A cowboy hero l.i always ready to give fight to tho villain whose attentions to the pretty girl are not wanted. Arrest of cattle thieves and payment of a mortgage, completes the tale of western llfo as It is not lived. In the cast are Virginia Lee. Lucy Bclmpnt, Na'dla Gary, Alphonse Ethler, Her bert Horton Pattee, Philip Sanford. Wilson Bayley, Echlln P. Gayer and a beautiful horse. . VICTORIA "The She DTir." with Theda Bars. Directed by J Cordon ISdivsrds. Film gossip has It that Theda Bara Is to leave the William Fox banner and produce Independently. If this Is true Bhe will havo to her credit a list of pictures In which are chronicled the ruin of more men and tho de struction of more romances than any other screen vampire, but, of course, these vamp lngs were not realities but Just screen stories. As for the appeal of this actress, It Is Just a matter of taste In film-fare, for she still proves a magnet to the box-offl.ee win dows. When a vampire desires to secure a vic tim she lays her plans and isually is suc cessful In the end of the film. In this In stance "The She Devil" sets out to gain the love of an artist, and succeeds In spite of all obstacles. The scenario calls for tho locale to be Spain and for Miss Bar to portray the role of Juanita. The production 'is taste fully made and the story Is kept lively. This Is a new character role for the star, and she acquits herself in good fashion. Of the male members of her cast, Albert Roscoe gives the role of the artist a touch of realism and George. McDanleL has the part of the betrayed bandit. , Mr. Edwards' direction was capable. REGENT "The DlTOreer." with Ethel Barry more, Directed by Herbirt Blache. . "Lady Frederick" was the source of this scenario which was prepared by June Mathls from W. Somerset Maugham's stage play. This play Is doubtless destined to establish Ethel Barrymore as a screen actress and to make up for weak vehicles in which she has heretofore appeared before tho film followers. There Is something wholesome about the way Bhe Interprets her role of Lady Frederick Berolles, whose solution of tho love affair of a youth for her favor Is brought about In an entertaining manner. This Is a photoplay which should have an appeal for those who are seeking tho better grade of productions, and It Is to this end that Its director has Btrlven with cre-dlt As a delightful tale of life In English society with many witty titles. It will prove a pleasant hour of cleverness. Miss Barry more has the stellar role and J. E. Radcllffe portrays the role of the husband In fine style;. Eugene Strong Is the youth who 1b Infatuated with her, Others In the cast are Naomi Chll ders, II. E. Herbert, Joseph Kllgour, Maud Turner Gordon and John Goldsworthy, The play has been artistically mounted. Alia Nazlmova In her best screen vehicle, "Eye for Eye." Is the play at the Palace, and the Great Northern Is presenting "Queen of the Sea," with Annette Kellermann. "The Silver King" holds forth at the Strand, while the Locust Is offering "Little Women." The Rlvoll has "Infatuation," with Gaby Deslys aa the star, "TWIN BEDS" AT WALNUT Fun which catches the audience up at the start and doesn't relax until the final cur tain falls ta to be found In the delightful farce of "Twin Beds." which opened at the Walnut This play, by Salisbury Field and Margaret Mayo, created a sensation when It first opened a few years ago. and It has not suffered through the passing of time. Lois Bolton makes a most captivating figure of the young wife, and her support ing cast even down to the servants, Is first class. Mlas Bolton is an accomplished ac tress with a special gift for comedy charac terization. She wore some attractive gowns. The story of marital difficulties of the plot is too well known to be repeated, but suffice It to 'say that few farces carry such genuine appeals to the risible muscles from beginning to end. The management has staged the produc tion In truly Metropolitan style. R1VOL1 5SD A SANSOit Mttlneo Dly ii... 1-vi.liiKlva V!eil PhllA. flhi.u.

She starts as a "kiddle" with "baby songs" and goes through the rango until the debutante and marrtago state Is reached. Her gowns are unusual anil chare honors with Miss Halperlns unusual per sonality and pleasing voice. Janet Adair, with "Miss Adelphla" at the piano, Is also a singer In whose work tho personal appeal Is strong. Both these young women present nn act that Is always clever. They have been seen here several times, but this week they have brought along some new songs that emphasize moro than ever their respective abilities as singer and pianist. Muriel Worth has somo Btartllng dance creations of tho different kind. She Is aided by h;r "muses of the violin," and tho act made a distinct Impression. Another striking feminine novelty Is the net. "What Girls Can Do." which demonstrates eaally that, from a vaudeville standpoint, tho young women In this group can do about everything In tho musical comedy line and do It well. Jane Courthope presents "an Incident of everyday llfo" "Our Family." Sho Is aided by the "husband, son and daughter." Tho act Is unusually clcer.

Billy McDermott gives a funny tramp stunt. Others who scored hits were Bevan and Flint, adepts nt song, danco nnd comics; Joseph Lalleur & Co., In an acrobatic nov elty and Roblnson'j Baboons, a clever ani mal act. DVMONT'S A bounteous bill of blnckfnco fare was on tho table at tho hospitable headquarters of minstrelsy. "The Devil In Jertey" brought laughs till the fumiybono ached. Bcnnia Franklin, Joe Hortlz, Tom O'Brien and other favorites wero at their best. OLOIIK "Among Those Present" the musical comedy which heads the bill, stands above tho average of musical tabloids. Tho comedy work of Joe Wolfe Is delightful. A bevy of pretty girls add to the fun. Another exceptional act Is tho Irish comedy-drama, In which Will Oakland, the lyric tenor, ap pears. Friend and Donning, dialect come dians; Bernard and Scurth, In a comedy act, "Half-past Two," a musical comedietta, and Allman and Newell, comedy acrobats, complete tho good bill.

RICHLY REWARDS ONCE-OVER In Fact, Dance Show With Fox nnd Dolly Sisters Ie Worth Second Visit To follow the behest In "Oh, Ixokl' Is no strain on the optlo nerve, though lt lteeps the ocular faculties busy with Its kaleidoscope of color nnd motion. Likewise.' lt fills tho Shubcrt stage with a vision of feminine loveliness of lino nnd curve, of faco and form, of primary hues and pastel shades. There Is nothing "loud" about this new piece nothing "loud" In scoro, costumes, settings or plot. This does not mean that It Is sub dued to a drablike monotony, but does mean that the costumes and settings, while color ful, are tasteful rather than sensational; that the muslo while "catchy," has tonal proportion, and that tho fun, while bright. Is clean. "Oh, Look!" Is based on James Montgom ery's successful farce of yester-searon, done Into a musical comedy by the author, with tho supplement of lyrics by Joseph McCarthy and musical embellishment by Harry Carroll. The staging Ih the artistic conception and skilled achievement of Itobcrt 'Milton and Edward Hoyco. Tho featured performers are tho Dolly Sisters Itoszlka and Yansci late of tho Follies, and Harry I-'ox, late of the audelllc3 and now a favored comedian of tho musical comedy stage and Justly favored by vlrtuo of his unostentatious and unforced comedy meth ods, which are effective without affectation Tho Dolly Twins, according to a story cur rent about tho theatre, have tho Bame blood pressure, blood test und cardiac rhythm two hearts that bent as one, as It were; ccitalnly they aro four feet that dance as one. Their dancing specialties in this new offering uro novel and varied, despite their frequency, and the twins are among the hardest workers' of the cast. Of their col leagues, special praise lo merited by Hal Van Rensselaer, Robert Ames, Louis Haines, Ueth Franklyn, Helma Magnuston, Edward Poland, Charles Lane nnd Hugh Cameron tho last remembered as a charactert actor with the old Orpheum stock here. In a well-carrled-off chainctcr sketch of a rube de lcctlc. Out of tho mnze of rtongs, dances and specialties lt Is possible to follow a skein of the "Iteady Money" plot, which originally had to do with a young Nnioleon of finance uho floated n gold mine proposition till paying ore was struck, through the display of a bovlne-choklng wad of counterfeit thousand-dollar bills, the theory being that noth ing succeeds. In a promotion scheme like tho successful exhibit of a corpulent roll. For the purposes of musical comedy It magne tlacs checkH from eager stock buyers and serves as a very efllclent matchmaker for three happy pair of principals of the plot. "Oh, Look!" Is easy on the ears as well an tho eyes. After the first act tho smoking rooms wero whistling "I'm Always Chasing Italnbows," .and after the final curtain tho foyer was n-pucker with "The Dolly Twinkle" and other numbers. And, as stated, lt doesn't hurt the eyes.
