With tho thoughts one remembers the realities, for have we not two In prospect, one Indoors and one outdoors? The Indoors Show is to bo held at the Third Regiment Armory on May 8, 0 and 10, and tho Devon Show threo weeks later, May 2S, 20, 30 nnd 31. Tho outdoors one will be the Devon Show, but, bless you, it won't bo only a horse show. It's going to be everything under the shining blue, as far as I can find out. They're to Have a cafeteria, and a dance floor, find a children's playground, and every kind of a sido show you could think of. It's to be for the benefit of the Bryn ' Mawr Hospital, nnd as every one on the Main Line it interested in the llryn Mawr Hospital everybody on the Main Line will be interested in this huge nnd "magnlfer ous" affair. The very fact that Mrs. Archi bald Dnrklic is at the head of all the sido shows tho cafeteria and carnival part of it goes to say it will go! And ns for tho show part, where can you find better men than Doctor Ash ton, Mrs. Charles Coxe and Mr. William Wnnaniakcr to insure the suc cess of such an undertaking? Volla, ch ! bicn nnd nlors. , It's quite sure to be warm apd lovely at that time of year, and somehow I pre dict it's going to bo a fine affair. "IXniAT n smart-looking suit Mrs. John Xowbold is wearing this spring. It is strictly tailor made and hns such very good' lines. It is n cinnnmon brown nnd her small mushroom sailor bat has a flat row of velvet flowers the same shade as tho suit as a trimming. It is a very becoming as well as extremely unusual color. Her daughter, Virginia, was with her, and .looked perfectly sweet in a coat of light blue mndo of. that lovely sporty material that gives a slightly mottled effect. Her small downtumed rim hat was n blue straw, the exact shnde of the coat, and it was trimmed with tin Trench flowers. She has n won derful thick mop of brown gold hair falling on her shoulders. TOKS it seem possible that Paulina Cell - is going to mnko her debut next year? Well, it's not absolutely decided as yet, but it's being discussed nod they say she will. It scarcely seems the other day since I saw her walking along Spruce street on her way to the square to plaj-' with the other chil dren. She ahvtijs was a pretty child nnd has grown up very good lookiug. I think she resembles tho Bell side of the family, as she is rather fair, and her mother, Mrs. Sam Bell, Jr., who was Miss Gertrude Tiers nnd tin extremely good looking woman, is dark. Paulina hns much the saline color ing ns her aunt, Miss Florence Bell, who was one of the great belles of her time as a debutante. t Paulina is the granddaughter of that de lightful old lady, Mrs. Samuel Bell, who was Miss Mary Dutilh, a member of the old family of that name in this city, whose debut must have been made, some fifty-five of more years ago nnd who has enjoyed a great popularity all her life. Paulina's lnte grandfather was Colonel Samuel Bell, n figure long familiar in Philadelphia's soeinl life. On the Tiers side of the family neither grandfather nor grundmother, who were Mr. and Mrs. William Twcll Tiers, is living. Paulina is n niece of Mrs. J. It. Evans Roberts nnd of Mr. William Twcll Tiers, whose wife was Miss Alice Welsh, a sister of Mrs. Archibald Thomson, of this city. Sh is tall and has a decided style. Her hair is n brown gold, with a decided natu- ral wave which is most becoming. The date of her debut hns not been absolutely decided, and, as 1 said, she may wait another year. JEAX and Betty were taken to see their grandmother, who has been in the hos pital and is just able to have her small visitors for a short time. The doctor is n wonderful rnan, with lots of queer looking things to play with and look at, and one day he took them into a great big room where there wore tiny little cribs all around 'the walls, unfl when you looked into tho cribs you saw tiny little red faces nnd bnld heads and little bits of hands reaching out for a piece of the air. Jean and Betty were bo excited and awed that they talked in whispers and walked on tiptoe. Then tho doctor told them to pick out the ones they wanted. So hand in hand they went the rounds, nnd Betty picked out a beautiful one with a kewpio curl on top of its head and n 'dimple in one cheek when it "talked." . Jean's was ,not quite so pretty, according to Betty's idea, nnd so when they told the doo tor about it she said: "This one is for me and this one is for Jean, but sometimes I'll let Jean uso mine."

URGES CO-OPERATION OF CHILDREN'S AIDS r Agencies Abundantly Able to Han dle Problem, but Lack Ideas,. Says Bureau Head Philadelphia has ample money on its hands for scrvioe to dependent nnd neglected chil dren, but it doesn't know how to use it. This is the opinion of J. Bruce Byall, superintendent of the Children's Burcnu, whose office is in the Charities Building, 410 South Fifteenth street. In u report about to be published by Mr. Byall, he points out that seventy-eight chil dren's agencies of Philadelphia net a totat endowment or capital amounting to .$."4, 320,432.50. The expenditures of these insti tutions amount annually to $3,501,271.42 and are adequately met by the income. "Tho resources," said Mr. Byall arc suffi cient to meet the growing need of dependent nnd neglected children, provided tho chil dren's ngencies get together nnd rendjust, the programs they hnvo been following bo closely for the last twenty-five years. There are continunl changes in the children prob lem, nnd welfare Institutions ought to rear range their programs to meet theso changes." Mr. Byall believes that these seventy-eight institutions, which include thirty-nix. Prot .cstant agencies, eleven Catholic agencies, four Jewish, six negro and twenty-one mis cellaneous bodies, might extend their work by lowering the restrictions which limit the class and type of underprivileged children their respective organizations care for. "We need," said Mr. Byall, "a central shelter where .tho various types of needy children may be examined, in order that, as a result of the examination, they might he banded over to the proper 'agencies. We lack industrial training in this city for the children who are so mentally retarded that they cannot pass the seventh grade of tho lower schopls. As it is, these children must remain in the public schools, when they need most some trade training. Further, we haven't sufficient means of caring for negro boys and girls, and their need is constantly increasing. ' "Philadelphia, on account of her large be quests for children's work, has an unusual opportunity to be of service to the poor children of the city. Some of these. funds are legally restricted in such ways that their usefulness Is diminished, but the danger of social workers and board members being mentally restricted so that they are not able to visualize the needs of the children is fully as great. "Any children's agency whose work is limited, by narrow age restrictions, by sex restrictions, by requirements specifying mar riage certificates and certain types of par ents, or by lack of capacity to handle diffi cult children, must be able to justify Ha position or plead guilty of unfaithfulness to the children it should serve," Norma Wlnslow Is Bride New York April 15. Miss Norma Wins low, the actress, who liuj been engaged in Red Cross work lb, Paris for the last six months, has' just returned on the Mcgantic as Mrs. Louis R.

Story by Angle Ousley Rooscr, di rected by Sidney A. Franlcllii. There Is some doubt ns to tthat movio patrons will say about this new Norma Tal madge subject, because It deals out informa tion about marital life that It would bo ruinous for some people to follow. To tell a vast audience that the way to secure a husband's love is, to get some other man to pretend he loves you nnd thus make "hubby" jealous will certainly not be received with out mistrust or distrust by happily married couples. This Is no reflection upon the pic ture ns entertainment, because It Is of tho highest order. Lip renders will enjoy the silent words coming from the players, while the rest of the audience may easily see the inserted titles required by the censors. Most of the acting is done by the star, in the character of n young wife wlfo tells the story of her lifq to a friend seeking solace from the neglect of her husband. The ndvlec given in foregoing lines is the substance of the story. Miss Talmadge appears In roles which show her rise from n girl in a cabnrct to the wife of a leader in society. Others In the cast nrc Thomas Mcighnn, Florence Billings, Amclin Sumtnervillc, Alec B. Frnneis and Walter JicKwen.

Pi s.i0Ty by E- Phillips Opnonhclm, ill. rooted by John S. Robertson. John Barrymorc has stepped from bis usual noting of comedy roles to one of trag edy. The character he portrays hi this storv s not unlike the ono in "Justice," which he gave on the spoken stage. More acting of this sort and the screens will bo richer in nrl. Marcia Manon ngnin comes for ward ns a sctccn actress of great ability be cause of her consistent portrnynl of the wife of two men with whom she is not In love. The first husband is supposed to have died from n blow struck by Mr. Barrymore. There is no plnco during the showing of this picture for the candy-munching movie maniacs, but rather the space should be oc cupied by seekers of good photoplay enter tainment. The story holds the interest throughout. Infidelity of a wife is "the chief motive of the plot nnd involves the happiness of n man who loves his honor. The author's. noflf"The Malefactor,'' was the story upon which this play was based. C'onstauce Binuey is given n part as the ingenue tpc of girl who is befriended by the hero, und she makes n pleasant impression. Of the other players, each one has been chosen with an eye to tho ability of interpre tation of difficult roles. Robert Sellable, J. W. Johnston, Bigclow Cooper and Fred Mil ler have the important parts. PALACE "Spotlight Sadie" with Mae Marsh. Mory by Louis Allen Ilrown, directed by Law rence Trimble. The governing head of the scenario depart ment or the director certainly shows a cun ning foresight in having his leading char acter order a glass of milk when the party of which she is a member is gathered at a cafe. That this same innocent gluss of milk should have been ordered by a chorus girl only adds to the fact that it is an unusual type of chorus girl story. Mac Marsh, who has appeared in ninny rharactcr studies, gives n faithful portrayal of a lady of-tlie ensemble in this story and in the fact that she is n seeker after u mil lionaire is not unlike heroines In other tales which have been written about stage folk. But the methods employed in the develop ment are novel because of the fuct that the girl pretends a childlike innocence. Wnl litce MncDonald, Alec B. Francis, Walter Hiers, Betty Schadc and Mury Thurmnu are in the cast. The direction was capably han dled and the nnimnls introduced proved that -the Griffith touch of directing has made itself felt in other studios. VICTORIA "Never Hay Quit" Willi Georre Walsh Ftory and scenario by Rajmond SchrocI;. directed by Eduard Dillon. George Walsh wins his nudiencc to his work at once and holds the attention throughout because of his ability to do thrilling "stunts" in a way that makes them seem real and fitting to the action involved in the story. Not only is this an interesting picture from the acting standpoint, but the humorous titles make the spectator retain the humorous side of the play throughout Its un folding. Superstitious people might appreciate the story becauso it involves a man who was born ou the Kith of the month, and he seems to be stopped at every move for some time throughout thp play until in the end he wins the daughter of a wealthy man who has been tiiken to sea by thieves in search of treasure. In the cast are Florence Dixon, as the daughter; Henry Holland, as the father; William Frederick, Frank Jacobs and Jean Acker. REGENT "The rarlslan Tigrraa" with Viola Dana. Story by Juno Mathls, directed by Her bert Blache. Albert Capcllanl is a co-author of this story, und that he knows his Paris of tho fiction kind, is proved by this picture. Its plot is somewhat moth-eaten, although the vacant spots in tho fnbric have been worked over by the ability of Viola Dana to give an excellent account of herself as the star. It is to be regretted that this artist does not have the right sort of stories for her use, be cause she has the ability to portray almost any type of character. At the end of tho story the little girl who was taken from a life of the Paris, Latin Qunrter proves to be the real hclress'of the man to whom she is supposed to be related in tho opening footage of the talc, Darr?JS Foss is the young man she. finds happiness with, and Louis D'Arclay is her brother. Others in the culit are Henry, Kolker, Ed ward Connelly and Maree Beaudet. STRAND and LOCUST "The Girl Who Stayed nt Home" is tho feature at thee theatres. The production Is from the D.

This Is not to say that Henri Lavc dan's" impressive drama Is not entertaining, even on the baNis of n theory that has some how grown which sets entertainment as tho sole function of the theatre. And to call it a "play of ideas" is by no means to damn it with the "high-brow" label. Under standing of it nnd appreciation for it i6 not demand ns prerequisites intimacy with the technical terms of psychology, pathology or any other ology, or acquaintance with tho principles nnd methods of dramaturgy laid down from Aristotle to the most recent critic with a theory to expound. The Lavedan play meets the average im plausibly plotted, fllmsily developed and impossibly characterized piece designed to tickle the ears of the groundlings in its own arenn of mere entertainment and de cisively betters it in that quality. Fur ther, it holds up the mirror to a code of conduct toward women not uncommon on the continent, but fortunately mostly known in the New World through novels and plays, nnd faithfully reflects immorality in thought, word.nnd deed characteristic of de cadent .Tuukerism the only category tljnt fits, although the scenes of the present play happen to be in Pnris nnd the profligate title character happens to he an Italian. M. Lavedan has written a startling ex posure of n section of society that (Iccins itself privileged not only to rule but also to sin, and he has backed it by a merciless analysis of the liumnn nature that creates that decadent society and the social condi tions that develop it. Produced in 1002 nt the Comedic Frnncaisc. it is almost pro' phetic of the doomed lechery nnd pride of a mornlly decayed, vauntingly domineering numeracy destined to destruction through lack of conscience, lack of ideals, lack of veneration for eternal verities the seeds of malady and death germinating within itself. And in one significant passage the Marquis, debauche, connoisseur of the senses, Lotha rio of innumerable boasted conquests, ac knowledges purification of tainted blood through democracy. That such n ploy with its exalted standard of morals, not set forth in sermonizing but through the object les son of the Marquis, should prevail in the repertory of the Comedic Francnise for nearly two decades Is fresh testimony happily no longer needed now that the "Frcnchy" farces and risque revues with music, purveyed for the (American stage in Paris, are mlsreprescntntive of the ideals nnd code of a noble nnd moral nation. We had grown so accustomed to this narrowed view that Mr. Ditrichstein deserves grati tude of translating nnd producing M. Lave diyi's play to correct a prevalent error. And more th"n that, he deserves thanks for offering a piny that appeals not merely to the eye and car, but also to the intelli gence, one that teaches but does not preach, that obtrudes no conscious moral, but Im plies all morality. It achieves Its ends by skillful theatrical construction, by surety of characterization, .by profound plumbing of emotion. Its dialogue Is natural, spontane ous, appropriately differentiated, always forwarding of the nction nnd growing out of the situations without brilliant writing for epigram's sake. The complex title character was realized to the life by Mr. Ditrichstein. Whether scornful levity for his prey, or callous cyni cism for their fate, or heartless plotting to entrap souls in the meshes of lust, ho met every demand with n finish of acting, a finesse of gesture, n nuance of tone that were inevitably the traiU fitting his roue. Brandon Tynan, -the unacknowledged natural son, whom he is training to follow his own primrose path of dalliance with vice nnd who elects Instead to climb tho thorny steeps of virtue nnd honor, does not quite visualize or realize the youth called for in the first net, but in the other acts is impressively nnd legitimately of the drama. Ann Mnc Donald, Lily Cahiil and Catherine Procter, who play tho women marked for the wiles of the Don Juan in the brief canto of his career unrolled in the unity of time of the nction, contribute sterling und believable interpretations of three very different types of women, nnd Orlnndo Daly and Walter Howe contribute admirable portrayals of the other principals. Premiere of "Nightie Night" Wilmington, Del., April 15. Adolph Klauber's presentation of "Nightie Night" had its premiere last night at the Play house aud was warmly received by an audience that included many theatrical people who came dof n for the opening. Jane Cowl was among those who made the trip. The piece Is an amusing farce, which has to do with tangles in the affairs of two couples. The cast Included Jessie Rusley, Francis Byrne, lone Bright and Malcolm Duncan. MME. PETROVA PLEASES CROWDS AT KEITH'S Personality of Brilliant Actress Lends Much Attractiveness to Well-Balanced Bill Madame Uiga l'etrova, who has won vast popularity in her transition from drama to the films nnd now nt vaudeville, is placing this week's bill at Keith's Theatre just u step or two in ndvnnce even of the Keith standard. Withutit the liumnn voice tho films nrc still wonderful, but it is her pos session of a beautifully modulated nnd ef fective voice that makes the appearance of this brilliant actress in vaudeville a stage feature. Her personality lends a bright and warm glow to her headline act that cannot be convejed in the film version. Madame Pctrova's offering varies iu a way to give full sway to her power of ex pression, including tho "Parrot Song" nnd "Don't Crj, Little Girl, Don't Cry," but she was probably most enjoyed in her reel tatiou from the tragic "Shurnelito" in a South African setting. Responding to some really earnest applause nnd following a pleasing curtain speech, the brilliant actress gave a poem of her own, "In Answer to a Child." Madame l'etrova ap peared under the rather trying handicap of a severe told, but in her singing this was hardly perceptible and her high notes were clear nnd smooth. Even without the beautiful l'etrova, the wcll-bnlnnced bill contains a sure-enough feature in Toto, Hippodrome clown. The art of mummery seems snfe for all time when, once in a while, there nppenrs 111 it 11 "Toto." Toto's grotesque contortions kept the nudiencc iu excited mirth. Knrtelli offered some unusual Btunls on a Rlack wire, nnd Hose and Moon also put a flavor of the unusual into their song and dance number. Mignon, a diminutive mimic, earned the npphiuse which she re ceived. Harry llcresford's sketch, "A Live Wire," was well done nnd contained some bright dlnlogue. The balance of the pro gram consisted of Doc O'Ncil in a chatter talk, Toney and Norman in "You Know What I Slean." and a sensational sknting feature by Earl Reynolds nnd Nellie Doncgan. GLOI1E--A sprightly musical medley. "Footlight' ltcvue," and two other skits of interest, "The End of the World, in which Knm Licbcrt appeared, and n surprise of fering called "Girl in the Basket," proved highly diverting. Stone aud McAvoy scored a hit in a comedy singing skit. Fitzgerald and Carroll, comic patter nnd "small talk, uloug with the Six Little Rowdies, juvenile performers, formed a combination of de lightful entertainment. The Hinging come diennes, Floro Millettc nnd Dorothy 111 en -uer, concluded tfte bill. CROSS KEYS A tabloid version of "Very Good Eddy" was laughingly remin iscent. Billy Schoeu's "new dope" tickled n cordinl audience. Patty O'Dare and the Curtis Brothel s scored In "Blue Devils of Music." The new episode of "Men of Might" was an attractive movie offering. BROADWAY There's just enough com edy nnd just enough music in the bill to give pleasant variation. The O. V. Jnzr. Band of Feminine Syncopnters supplied the "jazziest" kind of airs nnd kept applause at high pitch. Fisher Hawley and company in "Business Is Business" gave some inside information nnd kept laughs moving. The Marion Qunitet and William Ebbs, with his entriloquial surprise, scored. "Out of the Fog," with Nazimovn, is the film attraction. ni'MONT'S That the things which strike .home nre nlwnjs welcome wns shown bs.the itpprovnl given the bill. A number of Philadelphia skits are presented with good results. Alf Gibson. Burke nnd Walsh, Harvey Brooks, Tom O'Brien nnd others contributed 1o the generally hilarious re sults. COLONIAL Continuous laughter entitles the Avon Comedy Four to n leading place on nn attractive bill. Dolly Kay, "Queen of Syncopation," Pproved a delight. Arthur Taylor and company, in mirth nnd mclod; ; Booth nnd Lcnnder, trnmp cyclists ; Wolf nnd Dougherty, comiqucs, and a screen drama, "Love Iluuger," completes the jolly program. GRAND Harry Marshall, the American composer, and Adelaide charmed with their idyllic musical offering. A plajlet, "Under Oncltoof," by the Harry Thornc company, won significant favor. As 'a lighter contrast and equally enjoyable came the avintiou playlet, "A Brittany Romance." Collins nnd Hart, with n novelty surprise, nnd the two jugglers, I.ec and Crnnson, concluded the bill. KNICKERBOCKER "Speed of Hearts," a tabloid musical comedy, is the feature, en livened by good comedians and catchy music. A pretty cjiorus is well gowned. The bill includes the O'Sheu Kiddies and several other good acts. "Her Code of Honor." with Florence Reed" in the leading role, is the film attraction. ' NIXON The demand for something new in vaudeville is anworod herf. Thefe is something to suit all tastes. Bernard nnd Duffy, youthful veterans from "over there," aroused no end of applause with their musi cal offering. Henry nnd Moore scored in their singing nnd dancing. Beeman nnd Anderson skated artistically and the Five Borslnis nnd Jaison and Hnig were well re ceived. "The Great Unknown" is the photo play attraction. WILLIAM PENNLew Welch nnd com pany in "The Prodigal Father" delighted the audience. NeVhoff nnd Phelps presented n good hinging net. Three Eddies, in "Pan tomimics;" Weber, Beck nnd Frnzer, syn copationists; Colonel Diamond and grand daughter, in dances of jore nnd of today and a movie drama featuring Norma Tal madge concluded an attractive bill.
