In the hitter booth was Mrs. Hudilerow mid

IAIXK it! Kvi'ii the prize 11st for the
'Devon Horsp Show nml Country Vnlr is
now in the hnnds of exhibitors, nnd it cer
tainly shows vnrled clnssllicntion ,for nil
types nnd breeds of horses, numbering in nil
312 classes. That's Mime show, believe me'.
arjtta,,lt'8 to be held four thi.vs, jolt know, May
28, 2!l, :!() nnd 31.
One of its best features is a number of
classes for tiro-Raited holies, which arc so
popular In Kentucky. Wlint on earth do
you suppose n five-Knit horse isV Something
like n six-cylinder machine? Tliis is n de
parture for the Knsf.
This yenr's show is n regular member of
the American Association of Horse Shows
nnd so is n fully recognized event in the
horse-show world, I nm told by the managers
tlinrenf. All flin iiiriiiiiv nitil mill tiri'eu vvntl
1 ...V...'. .... .-.. ...... - ..,. ,....
li.v contestants will be awarded at the time
the clnses are judged nud there will he n
fourth ribbon to denote "very high com
mendation" in nil clnsses.
I'nrtlculnr attention lias been given to
children's Shetland ponies, prizes being of
fered not only for single ponies, but for
ponies in pn'us and ponies in tnndein ns
well. I'ndoiibtcdl.v these clnsses will be tilled
to overflowing, as well as two additional
clnsses for children's jumping ponies, and
these classes are so attractive. Me? 1
think I'll camp out there for the four days.
fpnrc I'la.vs nnd l'lnyers are nothing if not
-- original when they go into tilings. They
are having the welfare dances at the Hit z
Carltou this week, you know, and last night
they had KIsn Appleton, Theodora I.illie.
(ieorge Knenss mid l.rice lllyim doing u .pc
cinlty dance for the entertainment of their
guests, inid tonight they nre to linve Leo
Cnrrillo and members of his company as
guests.
It makes the dances even mote Interest
ing, don't you think V Mrs. (Ieorge Dallas
Dixon received last night, mid tonight the
hostesses will be Mrs. I'.li K. I'ricu nnd
Mrs. Joseph M. (Jnzz.im.
HAVK you heard nbout the doings nt the
Women Writers' Club tomorrow night?
Some doings, believe me, if all I hear about
them is correct. It's not special parly,
either, such us their uiiuunl dinner usually
is, but just an ordinary meeting night ut
their rooms in the Art Alllnnce. I sup
pose heciiuse these women have so much
lmsiness to attend to most of the time they
don't wnnt to have u business meeting, so
they decided to hold n rival show to the
circus here this week mid they nre going to
have nn exhibition of "animals ilever seen
before nnd frenks who are not unknown"
nud n most remarkable band ns well.
From nil I hear the uiiiinnls will be "auny
mules," to say the least, and the freaks
n bearded lady nnd a lire enter nnd, think,
of it, n monkey and a kangaroo, a bear, u
cnt, a trick dog, u giraffe and n tattooed
lady !
1 think I'll go up it ml nsk to be invited,
' for, judging from some of the tilings they
linve given before, I have a feeling it's going
to be simple enough to make a cat laugh, to
say nothing of human beings. s.

OF KEITH OFFERINGS
Songs and Music Feature the
Headline Acts This
Week
There's a little of everything on the bill
this wee nt Keith's, nnd most of the nets
nre good. There Isn't much In the way ot
punch in iiii.i of the offerings. The pro
gram Is rather safe nud sane, guaranteed not
to unduly excite this wnrm weather. At
least, that's the way Jeanne sized It up to
Hazel, sitting in one of the loge boxes.
"I think." said .lenniie, "Willie J. Ward
nml his 'Five S.wuplinny (Jills' have a clever
musical novelty. They're nlwajs good.
I'helr songs und piano selections tins venr
nre iinusunlly well balanced. 1 like to hear
Mis Lenvltt sing When I Dream of Old
Friti.' nud Miss llnletnnb do 'Salvation
Lassie of Mine.' AM'of the girls play well,
anil most of them sing attractively. So does
Mr. Ward.
"The musical c edj , 'Not Yet. Marie."
reminds me very much of 'Loinlmrd.. Jr.'
Notice It's been built pretty much along the
same lines. Hut it's cleverly thine; the
lilies nre good,, nnd, altogether, it's inter
estingly entertaining. Stuart Humes Is
clever, isn't lie V I like ids monologues. And
he sure can tin some funny stunts with thnt
hat of his'
"I think t lint act. 'The Piano Tuner,'
featuring Charles O'Dnnnell anil Fthel Hlnlr,
is very funny. It's here for the first time,
nnil the audience seemed to like it very much.
Conway nnil Fields, with the help of Arthur
Franklin, sing some songs nud sing them
well, don't .vou think'.' The Hucli brothels
nre clever acrobatic navigators; there's a
hutch of gootl singing, I think, in 'Kong
Sketches at the Piano,' slurring Itussell
Mack and Klnuclic Vincent, and there's mole
lints and then some in the act by Claudia
Coleman."
To all of which Hazel agreed. And the
dramatic reporter answered amen.
NIXON The biggest novelty in vaudeville-
this season is (inutier's Hricklnyers.
nnil shows how moie than a score of indus
trious tlogs tun build a house when properly
directed. The act is especially timely in
West Philadelphia in view of the fact that
there is a great scarcity of homes'. The
canine liricklaers carry the hod, run an
elevator anil do all sorts of Work calculated
to reduce the cost of houses. The act wns
n complete riot. Sergeant Iiowmun nnd
Privnte Sliey, of the I'niteil States tank
corps, scored in n timely net. Itehn nnd
Clark and Lnltelle Combine were well re
ceived in Interesting offerings. "The
1'surper," which overturns with 'thrills anil
surprises, is the film attraction.
(I.OItK A musical comedy which lived
up to its title "Temptation"' pioved u
satisfactory lieiiilliner. mid Hobby Vail, the
leading funmnkfr. did his share in making
the tabloid it sfarkling, spirited success.
Ilocy anil Lee, the dialect comedians, had a
skit that also deserved featuring nud
elicited several encores. Their clever hits
at up-to-date events in "The Peace Confer

nnil company; Mullen mid Fnincis; Paul
Conchas, Jr., the ciuinun hull juggler;
Sammy Duncan, Knapp ami Coruelln nml
Harrison ami Ilurr in "Sensible Nonsense."'
The bill wns well -rounded.
IJROADWAY Higoletto Hrotbers nml
the Swnuson Sisters were awarded headline
honors. The entertainment tuTerctl by the
versatile entertainers included juggling,
posing, acrobatics anil songs. Tin. costumes
were especially deserving of note. "The
Heart of Humanity" wns the feature film.
The story wns interesting. "Doc" O'Neill
pioieil a most excellent "gloom chaser"
with new stories and character songs. The
Murray Sisters offered u repertoire of songs
ami Ford und Smith uNo ntldeil to the en
tertainment. CltOSS KKYS-A minstrel net of real
evcellence heads n good hill. Old-time min
strelsy is recalled in the "Itevne Continues,"
whose songs nml jokes lire far above t lie
average. "'For Love ami Money" proved
to lie a delectable farce full of catchy snugs
mid dances. Phil Davis, comedian; Ilrovvn
nml Harrows; Moore nud Sterling, comedy
ami dancing, and the eighth episode of the
photoplay serial, "The Man of Might," add
variety ami merit to the program.
C0L0NIAI Ktl Morton, Philadelphia's
son of song, is the feature. He offered n
batch of exclusive songs right up to the
minute, in the language of vaudeville he
"cleaned up" in the way of applause. Keu
ney ami ilollis dispense effervescent comedy.
"Silver. Threads" still proved that it's one
of the best sketches in vaudeville. Richard
AVnlley, the "human pool table." thrilled.
"What Kvery Woman Wants," with (irace
Darmoiiil, is the photoplay attraction.
filtAND A top-notch bill, with posi
tively nothing gloomy, is in store for pa
trons. There is not a dull minute in the
whole show. Hernnrd nnd Duffy, just back
from France, presented n snappy sketch
entitled "Have n Sniilo" ; Longford and
Fredrieks furnished a pleasing stunt iu
"Shopping": Hilly MeDcrmont. who does
n Xnt Wills turn; Copes nnd Huttou nnd
the Fords, with dance specialties, me in
cluded on the bid.

WILLIAM I'KN.N Few iuts in vniiile

their "Hungarian Rhupsody" for sheer zest
and zipping dances und songs. There isn't n
ynvvn in the entire net. which is the head

thusiastic audience. Howard's musical
Slietliinds nud terriers upheld their repu

The Philadelphia Operatic Society gave
the fiftieth opera and the forty -second per
formance of its career at the Metropolitan
Opera House Inst evening, when it pre
sented Victor Herbert's "The Serenade."
The opera was well sung, admirably acted
ami effectively staged, the one feature which
might have been improved being the In
terminable waits between the acts, which
were more than half mi hour in each in
stance. Mr. Herbert, too, was as generous
of encores as he is at Willow drove Park
during the summer season, with thciesiilt
thnt most of the arias of the opera were
sung twice and one or two of them three
times, nnil the performnuce was not over
until n few minutes before midnight.
The audience was large anil thoroughly
appreciative and insisted upon the more
popular numbers being repeated. The mem
bers of the large cast all neipiitted them
selves with much credit, the parts of Yvonne,
taken by F.mil.v Stokes llugar nnd Dolores
by Marie Stone I.nngston being among the
most effective of nil. Until inaile t harming
stage appearances, with judgment nml
finesse, acted and sang with much beauty of
tone nml trueness of intonation. The color
ature song sung by Yvonne in I lie second
net was an especially good piece of work
nud displajed nn excellent range with good
tone color throughout nnil an equally good
vocal technique.
Of the male charm ters all were of about
equal merit nml the standard was high.
Horace Hood was very gootl as the Duke,
the part making some severe deiminils both
in acting and in singing, while Carl Wey
iiinnu, as Alvnrdo, showed a voice of plens
ing quality hut rather light in volume. It
was sufficient, lixvvrver. for the part, which
is not heroic. The tine bass voice of .1.
HclfTcnstcin Mason and the equally fine
tenor of Paul N'olkiniinu furnished two of
the lies! bits of vocn'.i.ation of the perform
ance, and tlieii- snl, 11 ami ensemble num
bers received the upplause from the audi
ence which they deserved, diaries J. Shut -tlevvorth
as t ionic?, had more of an acting
than a singing part, and kept the house in
n gale of laughter by his line work ns a
comedian. The character did not allow him
nu opportunity to display the icall.v excel
lent base voice that lie possesses. The com
paratively minor parts of Colombo (IMvvard
P. White l. the Mother Superior (Kvn A.
Hitter), l'ra Anselmo (Leltoy P. Harry)
antl the Ancestor (K. J. llrown) were ade
quately given. ,
The ballet, which is an unusually gootl
feature of the Operatic Society, gave some
.very tine dances and showed the luirtlfwoik
which its members linve done to nttnin such
proficiency in the difficult ensemble dancing
ligures which they gave. The scenery was
appropriate anil was lent by the .Metro
politan Opera Company.
Mr. Herbert, the composer of tho opera,
conducted, but the real credit of the per
formance belongs to Wnssili I.eps, who did
nil the work of training the cast nnd chorus,
nud to whom Mr. Herbert, in a little speech
utter Hie tirst act, made due acknowledg
ments. The chorus was excellent, especially
in the cnpcllu work at the beginning of the
third ait singing with gootl tone quality and
rhythm. The opera will be repeated tonight.

ho knows people who married just before

s a strong one, for It shows that the woman

At heart the wife loved the man who stn.vetl

plot would only spoil Its climax, hut suffice
it to. know t lint a message is carried iu the
fact that the meaning of "for better, for
worse" in the ninrringe ceremony only proves
n matter of words to the womnn in the
case.
An excellent cast has been intrusted with
the prinoipnl roles, which include Flliolt
Deter ns (be ph.vsiciau who stajs at home,
Tom Foreman as the soldier nnd China
Swatison ns the wife. Wanda I law ley is the
girl in love with the husband. Theodore
Roberts, Ruymonil Ilnltnn antl several chil
dren complete the cast. The direction is
excellent, while (lie photography is of the
admirable DeMille sort. The Introduction
of some allegorical studies of past heroes was
capably effected.

The frequency with which tho local 1 lets'. -wootl
film studio is tinning out Louis Henui
son productions seems In indicate their popu
larity among movie fans who have long
sought nnothcr t.vpe of western hero besides
the kind portra.ved by Hill Ilnrt, Tom Mix
mid n host of other delineators. This new
offering is n drnmn of the plains, in which
the hero frustrates an attempt to secure
cattle nt a price far beneath their worth.
Ormi llnvvley. n former l.iihiu stnr nml of
tale nn nctrcss upon the spoken stnge, re
turns to the local screen in a role which gives
her ample opportunity to show her cinema
nbility. Louis lit unison in a character named
Al Htiyd again makes himself a smiling hero.
Others in the cast include Hurton Churchill,
who will be remembered for his work witli
t lie stock company which held forth nt the
Chestnut Street Opera House, and John Daly
Murphy.

There is nn more delightful combination
of brains anil nrt than is to tie found in the
harmonious pair who produced this photo
play. It is the one bright spot iu n horde of
war comedies liecause.it not only carries a
moral, but is of suih a nature ns to keep the
spectators in a state of laughter witli each
unfolding scene. Action and plenty of humor
ous titles carry the story along.
Women arc taking the place of men iu a
smnll town from which the hero goes to war.
lie returns und funis the positions nil filled
by strnnge creatures who nre gnrbetl in mas
culine attire. They also fill the offices of the
city government, while the few old men nre
watching the babies ami doing the family
chores. This condition of affairs does not'
affect one girl, however, who is made poor
by reason of sticking to feminine gurli. In
u race for mayor the hero gets the aid of
the soldiers in France and by n clever move
wins over (lie women.
Finest Treux ami Louise Huff have the
principal roles, although the latter bus little
to do. There is much fun afforded by the
character stuil.v of Josephine Stevens, while
Ida Fitzliugli also contributes n part that is
delightful. Of the men, the best study was
given by Joseph Hurke as the ina.vor. Other
characters introduced provided much merri
ment. VliTillllA -"Mintlatis r MiMili'liin." "llli llar-

It is regrettable that the screens linve lost
such a tine player as Ihe late Harold I.ock
vvootl. nnil when future spectators see this
piodiiclion tliev will be following the lust
work of the late popular star. Tnat the
production shows evidence of being doctored
by the manufacturers in the hope of saving
those parts ill which the hero appears is to b
overlooked by true devotees of the star. Hut
the effect upon the casual playgoer will not
be so pleasant because the film story seems
to sag right in the middle.
Romance antl spies form the basic idea of
the plot, which involves the saving of Fng
land by a .wiling spoilsman und the winning
of the girl lie loves. Mr. I.oekvvood bus tlie
part of the sportsmiin. while Naomi Chiltlers
enacts the role of til" heroine. Kenneth Ken I
ing. Higelovv Cooper and Helen Lindrnth are
iu the other parts.
