He and Tlalph Karle acted in that capacity and Lucia War den was the godmother: The baby was to have been christened last wcekr but as his uncle was delayed in getting here, only arriving on Thursday, the ceremony was postponed until Sunday. The baby Is the don of George H. Earle, 3d, and Hubcrta Potter. He has a brother, George H. Earle, 4th, who Is bout four years old nnd a perfect darling.

SPEAKING of Mrs. Biddle and Mrs. O'Neill reminds me. Have you heard that their mother, Mrs. J. Bertram Lippincott, is much better after a very long and serious attack of typhoid fever? Every one has missed Mrs. Lip pincott so much at the various chari table affairs this spring, for she has 1wb taken an active part in helping rood works along. But her friends are greatly relieved to hear that she is bet ter and will soon be able to be moved out of town. SHE was perfectly fascinating riding her brand-now play pig that mother had bought for $8 at the Country Fair out in Devon on Saturday. They were waiting for the train at the station, you know, and. oh, that pig! It was about two feet long and twelve to fif teen inches high, and little daughter, who Is about four jcars old, nearly had a fit over him. She patted him and she petted him and then she turned around and looked up into mother's face and remarked: "Mother, If you hadn't bought this pig for me it would be long to somebody else, wouldn't it?" And how she did love it ! I was smiling to myself when sud denly I heard , who was standing there, say to , "Nancy Wynne ought to hear that." And tljen, "Don't rou love the stories about children she ptn I wonder who she is. Isn't it odd the way she always says 'some ' rmrtr or 'some' joke. I have often wondered who wrote it." "I have been , curious, too. I have thought of writ Ine to the paper to find out who she is." "Oh, they wouldn't tell you," retorted the first. And there stood Nancy, almost doubled un with laughter. It's n small world. Isn't it?

Has Typical War Atmosphere, Though Doughboys Wear Skirts A big audience unconditionally sur rendered last night to the barrage of laugh-provoking jests, songs and sit uations laid down by the Twenty-eighth Division Theatrical Company in its first showing of the musical farce "Who Are You?" at the Walnut Street Theatre. The initial production in America moved with all the speed and smooth ness that won a bushel of laurel wreaths for the Iron Division in Fnince. Every man and "girl" on the stage and the members of the orchestra as well had been cither wounded or gassed in action. Sixteen of the cast of forty are Phil ndclphlans. The musical numbers were staged by a Philadelphian, Sergeant Morris B. Bopp, and the lyrics nnd book wjrc by Sergeant Phil De Iver nols, a Pittsburgh boy. Entertained 250,000 Soldiers The soldier-players had the hearty good will of the audience from the rise nf thp curtain, an impression intensi- tticd as they heard the quips and the son that havo dcligtuea a quarter of a million soldiers in France and that won the commendation of General Per Khinc. General Muir and other high officcis. The scenes of the play are laid in a wood that had formerly been occupied by Germans. The second act is built arouud incidents after the armistice was signed. The "girls" in the enst were as con vincinglv "feminine" as could be ex pected of real fighting men. But in some mjsttrious manner they danced splen didly, even though high -heeled -slippers had displaced army brogans. Bopp Captured Enemy Spy. Sergeant Bopp, who staged the musi cal numbers, formerly was a member of Dumont's Minstrels and was later with George (Honey Boy) Evnns's Minstrels. Bopp has the capture of a sure-enough German f,py to his credit. The spy was executed by the Fiench. A like fate, with a German firing souad as executioners, was riarrowly escnned by Sergeant De Ivernols, the Pittsburgh soldier. He was caught while rcconnoiterlng within the enemy lines nnd was condemned to death but was taved at the fifty-ninth second- of the tleventh hour. The musical director of "Who Arc You?" is Nathan Cohen, a former mem ber of the RiU-Cnrlton orchestra. The musical instruments carried bv the company in France were salvaged from various places the men carried with rifle and the bayonet. Their piano was found in a dug-out at Mount Sec that had been occupied by the German Crown Prince. It was located by Pri vate Cravell, a Philadelphian.

This is the ostensibly stellar role in "The Little Brother," in which Mr. Whiteside opened his engagement at the Adelphi last evening, though the role of Father Petrovitch, of the Orthodox Russian Church, is virtually of twin importance in exemplification of individual psycho logical conflicts nnd as one of the two characters whose opposition of trait and tradition create the clash of drama. "The Little Brother," drawn by Mil ton Goldsmith nnd Benedict James from Doctor Goldsmith's novel, "The Rabbi and the Priest," is a play of problems or lather of one essential problem, since the mixed marriage which is the cardinal point of the plot really tomes under the .complex racial antagonism and re ligious differences which form the philo sophic background of the play. Union of the young Jewess, the rabbi's daugh ter, and the young Christian, the priest's ward, serves merely as the immediate inciting motive of the drama of dis cussion which Is developed. The rabbi renounces his daughter and the priest denounces his protege. Back of it all is a pogrom in south ern Russia of forty jears before, in which Rabbi Elkan's parents had been murdered and he aud his baby brother separated in the red terror of religious persecution, and a later pogrom which had caused the death of the rabbi s wife. In the second fanatic slaughter the priest, turned zealot and called the scourge of God, had been the flam ng leader of the peasantry against the Jews. Recognition of the two as olden opponents feeding fat the ancient grudge comes early in the dramatic nwtlw. but recognition of the fraternal identity Is kept actually suspended, though ob viously the logical denouement, for the third act climax. It is accomplished b the introduction of the priest's peas ant nurse, a Christian, who had saved the baby rom the slaughter at the loss of her own reputation for virtue nd ,..., .int him to the church, lo her service and sacrifice the priest owes all he has become and she in turn owed S. first inspiration which eventua y released her from the mujlk darkness cfhTr native condition, to the iabb who as a lad hart laugm- u. -" -: wnoasam t, nB a 80rt of "Cor machina," is plausibly accounted for and serves ns the medium oi rccon l?. ?u uV..., the brothers and be Salof the long-delayed blessing on the outcast lovers. The playcraft is somewhat conven tional and at times leans heavily on obviously theatrical devices of tech ?qie and rather strained theatrical ism of atmosphere and emotion. An Irish servant girl and a Hebrew marriage bioker furnish comic relief, which does little to forward the movement and which is stagy as well as excrescent. The pro aud contra arguments, showing the Jewish and Russian Christian view points nnd justifications, are economic, sodal and religious. By effective phras ing and adaptability to interesting sit uations they succeed In achieving free dom fiom the tiresomeness of a stage debato in costume. .,..., Mr. Whiteside concern i !.""" of the rabbi with great reverence and dgnlty, though it lacked the subtety o hisTokeramo in "The Typhoon" and the passionateness of his Quixano. It Mm admirably restrained and often tomhtngT Stephen Wright was the mil itant or est, who is wrought into the humility pahed by "his Master.
