soft dress of gray georgette.
DO 'YOU remember about two yeais ago,
before our entry Into the war, my tell
ing ou about flic Gnlph Mills (iolt Club,
which was being started by a number of men
cut on the Main l.ineV Well, when we went
Into the war they had to stop their plans for
fils club, but now, if you please, all is In
readlnci-s nnd there is to he one tine big
opening on Friday afternoon of this week
from 4 until 0 o'clock.
Alba Johnson Is president of the club
nnd the membership is limited to 100 mem
bers. There are forty-four members now.
I must tell jou u joke in connection with the
tea on Friday afternoon. The secretary,
' or whoever scut out the invites, arguing in
Uy mind that mnn and wife nre one, sent
Ac invites to the man nnd took it for granted
bnt the women in the families would know
the invitations were meant for them. But
jou sec they did not. nnd Hie idea has gotten
iibout Hint it is to be open house for the
men only
Well it isn't; it's for the women too, nnd
the men hope very much that the women
wili E. It's a wonderful course. You
know- where the club is. don't xouV Bight
near the old (tiilph Mills back of Bryn
Jlawr nnd on the way to Norristovvii. It
is the old Walnut firove farm, which is on
n portion of the 7000-acre farm owned origi
nnlly by William IVnn and bequeathed by
him to bis stepdaughter. T."tltin Aubrey.
She in turn bequeathed it to John Hughes,
nnd it was from the lntter's descendants that
the mcmbeis of the (iulph Mills Golf Club
bought their present property.
The course has been laid out by Donald
Bovs, of Bnghind. who is conceded to be
'one of the best builders of golf courses in
the world. And they tell me that his opinion
wns asked leccnlly about various courses
nnd holes in this-countiy (for he hns trav
eled to viu ions' links far and wide), and be
said that he considered the eighteenth hole
nl fSiilph Mills Club the "greatest in Amer
ica." The reason for keeping the membership
down is that ino-t of the cluhtire so crowded
n man has to call up the 'day before to en
gage a caddy nnd time to go the rounds.
The aim of the members of this club, which
hns been nicknamed "The Millionaires'
Club." is to he able to go out any time they
iaiit to. without liming to telephone, and
to he able to get a caddy at a moment's
notice
I told jou that .Mr. Alba Johnson is presi
dent and the directors of the club include
Drexel Paul. Keaisley Mitchell, Willing
Hare. J. B. Maxwell. Tom McKcnn. Isaac
H. Clothier. Jr.. King Wninw right, Weston

story by Ijola 1'urrcattr.
There U an excellent photoplay thriller
on !ew this week. enTorncing ns it does nil
of the favorite tiitks of the melodramatic
writer In a setting of much nrtlstie merit.
The situations hap been kept nt a high
dramatic pitch throughout, giving Gernldinc
Fnrrar n lolo which tits her perfectly.
Because this role of a Spanish woman of
Hie hfgh-spirited tjpe shows the star oft" in
n new light and is very different from her
other characterizations, there is forecast an
added number of admirers of this opr-rnlic
stor"s work. In piduring the star her ar
tistic poses might have been rcirnled to
better ndtantngc bv the photographer.
A Spanish romance which stresses a feud
between the families of the girl and the
strange joung man slip meets nt n enrnhnl
has its climax in 'the death of her brother
and the fact that she is married to the mur
derer. It is a good plot. In its unfolding
Thomas Snutebi. Milton Sills. Pedro de
Cordova, Hazzard Shoit and Kate Lester
have- prominent roles.
Beautiful scenes of Alaska are shown iu
the specinl Prizma Xatmnl Color scenic.
This is nn improvement upon the pictmes
displayed heie some time ago.

There is no reason why the nuthor. direc
tor nnd star should not have n good product
when they nre nil represented bv the same
person, which is the case with this movie.
It is good nnd the William S. Hint ad
mirers will again find their hero to their
liking. Xot only does he corral money, but
he is due to round up those followers of
his style of acting who strnjed awny during
the time he left his hig lint and heavy
shooting irons for lighter comedy.
The interest in Hie story Is kept up
throughout the unfolding of the plot, which
deals with the capture of crooks in Chicago,
where the hero has been sent by the presi
dent of n inilroncl. until the love interest i
brought to a climax in the Html footage of
film. Jane Novak has the role of the girl
elated to the lailioad president, with whom
the hero falls in hive. Bhen Mitchell. Pa

When "The Naughty Wife" played nl the
Walnut Street Theatre early in the season
it received favorable attention by Hie lovers
of good comedy, and now that it has been
made into n movie it should find a greater
popularity. Fred Jackson has supplied a
plot which is icplete with funny situations,
chief of which is the aid given n wife by her
husband when she decides to elope with u
man with whom she thinks she is in love.
Mnrguerile Clark hns the important role
of the wife, while Frank Mills is the hus
band. An author with whom she is enam
ored is capably represented by Gaston

Helen Green, Albert Busby, Blanche Stand

Good stories seem to be more important
now than arc the stars who nppcar in (hem.
if the nmount of movie mntciinl now being
procured from tho magazines is any cii
terion. This story, which was adapted by
A. S. LeVino from one of like name appear
ing in All Story Magazine, is worthy of at
tention. Hale Hamilton is the heio, and he
makes the most of his role.
To have to give up all hope of ever being
nlile to see the gill he loves and to then
find that he is permitted by a trick of fate
to regain his foitune is one of tl)o situations
iu this story. The biggest punch comes,
however, in the very origiunl prnposul of n
physician to have the hero give his healthy
heart to an old man and take the weak one
in return for n huge sum of money. That
the scheme falls through is but mild com
pared to the tortures experienced by .Mr.
Hamilton In the opcinting room. Naomi
Cbildcrs, Frank Hayes, Harry Carter and
Herbert Prjor are in the cast.

Orpheiim patrons had the special enjoy

Montague Glnss's stories iu the Saturday
Bienlng Post. The kindly titular heroes were
sjmpathetically portrujed and the other
character types were excellently conveyed.
Dudley Stevens was especially good as Abe
Potash and the other favorites moic than
made good in their roles.
In n play like this, based somewhat on
ineial peculiarities, it is the easiest thing in
the world to give offense, but the Orphcum
production was beyond criticism- on this
score. The feminine members of the audi

which supplied the audience with the very

GLOItK A musical coined? skitih feat

audience in continuous laughter was the fun

feature photoplny was "A Midnight Bo

COLONIAL This house offeied one of
the best all-around bills shown this season.
Bended by Toots Pakn and her band of
Hawaiian musicians, the bill was one that
nttrocted favorable comment along down the
line. Fred Allen, ventriloquist; Mills nnd
Loekwood, in an amusing rube net; the
Gasgojnes. jugglers of merit, nnd other acts
completed an entertaining program. A plio
tophi? of thrills was an added attraction.
DL'MONT'S Lively skits in keeping with

most versatile member of the entire coui

of the show.
GBANI' One of the best bills of the
season is being shown. Andicvv Mink, the
famous Irish tenor, heads the bill witli his
songs nnd character stories of the land of the

furnished by Knlo and Brother in "Bits of

With Sufficient Votes Pledged to
Amendment, Efforts Are
Not to Relax
The pledge from Senator Harris, of Geor
gia, to vote In fnor of the federal suffrage
amendment will not in the least nbate the
work of the Xational Woman's party to try
to ""convert" the other I'nlted Stntes sen
nlors who have not ?el committed them
selves on this question.
"With not n single vote to spare in the
Senate, the suffrage amendment cannot ?et
be considered nssurcd."
This is the statement of Alice Paul, na
tional rhnlrinnii of the Woman's pinty, ns
she left Washington for New- York, wheie
lenders of He party will discuss plans for
continuing the campaign on the remaining
Ihicc noncommittal senators Kejes. of
New Hampshire: Dial, of Soutb Carolina,
and Harrison, of Mississippi.
"Senator Harris's pledge gives us the Inst
of the necessnr?" sixty-four votes, hut deaths'
nnd defections must he guarded ngnlnst.
licn if the three still urn onimitted men are
won, our margin of -nfetv will be slight,
indeed." Miss Paul declared
"Wo have strong hope that Senator Bar
rlson, of Mississippi, for whose election the
President was personally responsible, nnd
Senator Dial, of So-ith Carolina, who like
wise ran ou n platform of support for the
President's policies, will follow the example
of Senator Harris, of Georgi.i, and declare
themselves iu favor of the enfranchisement
of women "
On Ma? .fi Miss Paul and Mrs. II. O
IInveme?er. of New Yoik. will go to New
Ilninpshiip to speak iu Hie campaign which
is being waged by thai state branch to win
the vote of Senator Ke?es. the only Bepub
llcnii senator who has not vet announced his
position on the amendment.
With the winning of the vote of Senator
linn is the Democratic party now hns fi."i
per cent of its members Iu the upper house
pledged, while the Bepublicnns claim 77 per
cent.
These figures nre hnsed on the Women.'
party poll of the Senate, which is in ac
cordance with the public pledges of the
members of Hint body.
