Hewson, the son of Dr. Addlnell Hewsoti,
In the Episcopal church at Moorcstown.
Xancy has always been extremely popular
here, and ovcry one Is so clad she Is
coming to Philadelphia to live.
."TvID I tell you that Mrs Arthur Lea,
U who Is connected very prominently
with tho Southeastern Chapter of tho
Red Cross, will bo at Independence Squaro
Auxiliary this ufterhoon to explain to the
workers Just what tho Keel Cross wants
done these days? There Is quite a d"
mand for knitters, you know. They want
shawls for the women refua.es and socks
and dockings for tho klddlts over there;
for tho really poor are still In want. There
is talk about closing somo of the auxil
iaries, but there will not bo any closing
until tho work Is finished and there is
much' yet rb bo done. Sophlo Norrls wilt
speak this afternoon about her work
abroad' during the war, bo It's going to
be very Interesting. Sho was with the
Y. M. C. 'A., you know, and did a lot of
work right back of tho lines.
"VTO Ol'ErtA tonight, but good night! Just
' think how many operas there will be
next week. You would not think that it
is to bo the first week In Lent, would
you? Mary 'Garden In Cleopatra Is send
ing everybody of social prominence
toward tho old Academy for Monday night.
The boxes will all be occupied and tlio
Academy will bo as brilliant as In tho old
days when the Maurice Grau opera com
pany presented Calve and Melba and tho
de Rcszkes and Plancon and all those other
great singers of twenty or more years
ago. The scenery was "punk," but oh, the
voices!
fTlHn Randal Morgans have Mrs. Mor-
gan's brother-in-law and sister, Mr.
and Mrs. Herbert Fenncr, staying with
them for several weeks. They wero at
tho opera with them two weeks ago, and
on Sunday tho Morgans gave a party In
honor of the christening of wee Miss
Fonner. Charlotte Williams Is tho second
"Williams girl. Mrs. Morgan was Frances,
the eldest sister, and Eleanor, the young
est, married Lawrence Wilbur. Harry
Fenner, or Herbert, which is his christian
name, is from Providence, but he came on
hero to attend the University of Pennsyl
vania somo years ago, and was always
a great favorite In tho "frat" and attended
most of tho parties here. And then ho
choose his wifo from among tho Philadel
phia girls. Tho Fcnners llvo In Providence
most of the time. Their llttlo daughter
was christened in St. Paul's Episcopal
Church in Chestnut Hill.
AND tonight wo have the Hall Tri
umphant. There has not been much
excitement about It, but It's going to be
good fun you may be sure, and every ono
is going to attend.
The Plays and Players are to have their
club tonight, so some of us will go thero
first. Thero are to be altumbcr of "stunts"
in tho ballroom at tho Ball Triumphant.
Somo sort of u novelty called "Splash me,

Somo namo I should say! And little
Lady Tscn Mel, the Japanese actress, who Is
appearing here this week, and several other
actors and actresses will Join In the en
tertaining. The overseas commtttco of
the Emergency Aid is buck of tho ball,
you know, and tho proceeds aro to go for
the Templo of Victory, to be erected In
memory of the bravo Philadelphia men
and women who worked for our country
during tho war.
HIS family were always great sticklers
for biblical teachings In their most
literal eenso and so naturally ho followed
the family's bent in such things. Recently
he was most awfully naughty and his
father was constrained to spank him. And
ho did It as ho docs most things, ex
tremely well and with great cfllcloncy.
Bob, however, refused .to show that tho
spanking was effective at all.
Not a word, not a sound did he give
while tho event was taking place. After
it was all over, ho walked into tho next
room to his mother and, pointing his
thumb to the room where ho had left his
, father, remarked "Is he my brother?"
"No, Bob," replied tho astonished
mother, who between agreeing with her
husband that it was tho only thing to do
and sympathy with her son for tho pain
ho had endured as well as the hurt pride,
wis much torn with conflicting feelings.
"Then," replied Bob firmly and with con
viction, "ho's a darn foo,"

It Is now an established fact that motion

The Vltagraph studios have here turned
out a production worth something extra In
the way of praise; It In nn example of the
photoplay nrt which should be seen by tlioe
seeking the best In movies. Miss .loce revi
vifies the character of Shirley Hossmme and
makes of It a better sen en part than the
one she gave of the leading lolc III "Within

nddltlon, Is Conrad N'adel, who Is excellent
ns the hero. Anders Ilandolf, T W. Carl

of the most representative studies of a cer
tain kind of American life thnt has for Its
background the virtue of beir.g truly human

the highest order and will bo accepted by the
film fans as a delightful comedy. Tho cen
sors have seen fit to havo a few titles of
their own Inserted at the point where the
unmarried mother gives the Identity of the
father of her child.
Artistically, the photoplay Is Impressive,
and the casting director showed excellent
Judgment In his selirtlon of the people to
portray tho characters. Vlvla Ogden as SIls'
Hazy gave an Intrepietatlon of her part that
Is a gem, and the others did equally good
work. The preparation for her wedding nnd
the close-up views of her facial expressions
will bo hard to equal In comedy character
ization. Tho outstanding piece .of nct'lig, however,
goes to Marguerite Clark for her ability to
portray youth. Tho story ends rather
abruptly, but sufficient Is shown to give nn
Idea of what would naturally follow, others
In tho cast are Jack Macl.ean. Mary Cnrr,

Movlo patrons aro Ftlll talking about the
wonderful work of Henry B. Walthall In
"The Avenging Conscience." shown in this
city a few years 'ago. and It w as then pre
dicted that he would he tiio best character'
actor on the screen. Whether this opinion,
still stands matters not. but It sulhces to show
that this man has a big following by those
who like sincerity In movie acting. A crowded
Iioupc attested to his popularity. That this
player carries tho fhnw along to a fitting
close and leaves a lasting Impression of his
character Is but another way of saying
that ho Is still nn able actor.
This Is an adaptation from Louts Joseph

When the admirers of Kdlth Storey elected
to call her "Billy" some few years ago when
she was a member of tho Vltagraph Stock
Company. Bhe certainly could not havo had a
better selection for a nickname because of her
ability to portra'y tho out-of-doors athletlo
type of girl. In fact, that name can again
be applied to her In her latest production
with tho Metro company, because she Is cast
as "Colonel Billy." a girl of the West who
is trying to live down a reputntlon she has
received because of Iict former modo of
living.
Cleopatra had a pet snake, and so has a

duces some bit of ladles' wearing apparel or
a word or sentence with the tlme-honorcil
double meaning, and once more the audience
Is locking with laughter.
Thp Idea of having a husband assist in
every way possiblo'thc elopement of his wlfo
with another man Is perhaps not entirely
new to the stage, but it Is original enough to
form tho basis for .1 most delightful fnrcn
e-omed.v. From being madly infatuated witli
this "other man" In the first act, tho wlfo
In this case conies gradually to see how much
moro interesting anil better tempered her
own husband Is thin bis rival. And when
she learns that ihe hitter's touching declara
tion. "There Is always cno real lovo In every
man's life and my iove for ou Is that lovo

lailies, siic decides that "hubb" is the

the audience testified to her appeal by Its
applause. Gaston Bell, who will bo remem
bered by Philadelphia movlo fans ns for
a long time a member of the Lubin stock
company in the heday of Its career, was ex

Sumner was sufficiently humorous as tho
scheming husband. Belli" DJArcy as Nora

discrimination of tho humor and occasional
seriousness demanded In It. 'Hie other parts
wero capably filled. Thc staging la In all
ways adequate.

"TUMBLE IN" OPENS
WITH MUCH SUCCESS
IScu' ilu,-ic;il Comedy Proves lo
I3c Full of Catchy Melody
and Clever Dialogue
'Tumble In." tbo new musical comedy by
lllo Harbacli and Itudolpli l'rlml, opened
liiHt evenlnc at tlie I.jrlc Tlientro before n
l.irce audience wblcli took kindly to tho
catchy melodlcH ami the funny dialogue, ivltli
which the eoinedy abounilK
The plot h bnseil on Avery llopnood's
farce, "Seven Da.va," which In turn is taken
from tlie story of the vanio name by Mary
llohertn Itlnelmrt. Certain ch.inKes, necea
ary to its successful presentation In tho
form of a musical comedy, have been made,
though tho essential of tho original story
icmiiin
It opens with a burglar who baa entered
to rob a houpo In which u houao parly I
being given In honor of the approaching wed
ding of Anne, the ulster of tho owner, Jamea
Wilson Wilson baa been divorced n year
before, but this fact Is unknown to IiIn maid
en mint. Sellnn, upon whom ho Is depend
ent The aunt appears unexpectedly, and to
keep the fnct of tho divorce (secret one of the
guests. Klttv, Is prevailed upon to poso as
llella the wife. Then the real llella appears,
and nftcr u policeman H found aidecp In the
kitchui the whole p.irty is quarantined on
account of the supcous nature of the Illness
of a Japanese butler. The adventures of thn
party until the quarantine lifted at tho
end of n ven dnjs coilstltuto the I'omedy.
The parts aro well taken. Tho principal
character are Humo of Wilson, taken by
Herbert Corthell Dalian llrown, tho fiance
of iuie. by Charles ituggles : Kitty, by Kdna
lllbbaid; Anne, by Peggy O'Nell ; llella, by
Miglni.i Hammond, and Aunt Selln.i, by
Zelda Seam Ilach of the lurts demanded a
illfTeniit sl)o of comedy which was sup
plied by the actors in excellent fashion
There was perhaps more possibilities for
comedy In the general sense of the word In
the patls porttuved by Mr Corthell. .Miss
I'NMl nnd .Miss Siars, than In tho others,
although all In the well-balanced cast wero
about tqtinlly clever. Krcd Helder, as tho
burglar, had u part which required no speak
ing until In a few scnteiu'os ho cleared up
the iii story In the last act, but his pan
tomime work was exceedingly good, his acro
batic dancing being ono of tho features of
the pi rformance. Kspcel.il mention bhould
iiUu be made of the exceedingly clever work
of Miss ti'Nill In tlie tlrst act, when tho
cocktnlls piovo to be stronger than sho had
estimated.
Musically the mindly Is constructed along
the customary Much with three or four re
i Hiring melodies running throughout tho
piece, Mr l-'riml has mi uiidoiibtdl gift for
melody of this character, as he bus ahovvn
In previous successes, while his talent as a
i ompobcr of moro serious music has stood
lilm In good stead In the production of e'er
taln orchestral effects "The Ijiugh" lit thn
beginning of tho second act is an especially
clever bit of work, and was done with great
humor and skill by Miss O'Neil. Miss mil
liard. Mr. Ituggles and Mr Cortlie.ll. Thc
other very successful number was "Won't
You II li Mo Out'."- sung by Miss Claire
Xngle (ii friend of the brlde-lo-be) and the
chorus of girls The dancing of Miss Olga
Mlshka and Mr. Ivan Kt.igufT wns also very
clever and was repeatedly encored.
The comedy is elaborately staged, both as
to settings and costumes Thn fourteen young
women who take the parts of the house party
guests nio all pietty, ami in the last act,
when Anne reveals to her fiance tho extent
of her e'ostumisj they appear in an astound
ing array of elaborate and gorgeous gowns.
The comedy is still qulle new and there are
a few spots 111 It which repeated perform
ances will doubtless add tlie needed finish.
As a whole it Is thoroughly amusing, being
well acted nnd sung and brilliantly staged.

"THE KISS BURGLAR"

"The Kls nurKlnr" was put on trla.1 laat

Inr of pretty Klrla from Broadway, llht toe

home, of son and music, holding up humof
nnd other mledcmeanorR against the rlelbllltlea
of tho community. Court was held In tho Chest
nut Street Opera Houso, where a first-night
Jury turned In a verdict of amusement In th.
first degreo against cast, chorus, composer
nnd librettist. Sentence was deferred, but It
Is thought that tho judicial public will Im
post! tho penalty of a run.
According to the blotter. lUymond Hub
bell and Oltn McDonough were responslblo
ror the scoro nnd book and lyrlca of "The
aIss Ilurglnr." They wero aided and abetted
in the actual execution of their enterprise

e-harmlng young persons, evidently new
comer.'! In a local theatrical court, wero noteel
a.s accomplices,
Tho evidence proves conclusively the ex
Iiteneje of a plot. IlamtflcatlonB of this plot
ran from Trieste to a Gotham hotel and
t io itcrkshlro Hills. The testimony involved
tlie. names of tho Grand Duchess Aline of
Orly, well known to all readers of tho musi
cal comedy Almanach do Gotha: Albert Du
vlvlcr. of the Legnl Ilegister of New York,
and thp Chattcrton-Pyms. of thc Blue. Boole
of the, namo city, Mm. Chalterton-Pym'a
entry Into which, as readers of social doings
will recollect, being by virtue not of her
experience as a. music hall artist but by her
experiment In matrimony, which shocked the
exclunlvo set tome tlmo ago. Although the
celebrated Orly diamond, ono of the erowri
Jewels of tho Grand Duchy, and which, as
viewed by tho Jury, appeared of sufficiently
large number of carats to pay the German
war Indemnity, might easily have been tho
booty of tho robber, he proved to be a social
highwayman, whose only loot was kisses. It
seemed to bo tho opinion of witnesses that
this romantic kleptomaniac will bo heard
from again in thc future In further eccen
tricities. Much amusement and musical entertain
ment wan created In tho courtroom when
some of tho accused appeared In their own
behalf, their ersatlllty ranging from Imper
sonations of a gob nnd a French general to
Imitations of tho musical styles of George M.
Cohan, Victor Herbert and Irving Berlin and
tenor and soprano uolos.
