hod been ill only about ten days nnd
there had been a change for the better a
few days before her death, bo in the
end it was quite a shock even to those
who had known of her illness. She was
Miss Annie Starr you know, a daugh

ter of Isaac Tatnall Starr and of Mrs.
Frederick W. Morris, who was Sophie
Starr.
Mrs. Griscom was one of the mot
active workers of the Emergency Aid,
being one of the vice chairmen and
during the war was head of the surgi
cal dressing class- and she was one of
the four women who started Tcnn Cot-

' ''all the year rouud. Their daughter,
' Mary Starr Griscom, was to have made
her dcbtitf in the fall at a tea given by
her grandmother, Mrs. Clement A.
Griscom. Their sou is Clement A.

HAVE you heard about the Com

mil? Tt' the old headquarters of
thi Xntlnnnl T-eairuc. The various

of the work started during wartimes
should be kept up and so they have
started JbeT Community. Center, with
, -Mrs. GeorgerVVoodward as chairman of
the whole tiling, with an advisory board.
and many committees on nil kinds of
p subjects, such as housing conumuua,
sanitation ami the like.
They arc starting open-air movies and
they are given -every Friday evening as
soon as it is datk. The old barn serves
as a background, for the pictures nnd
there arc rows and rows of benches, and
they are going to serve ice-cream coues
nnd it sounds great to me. It's likely
that the Community Center will greatly
benefit by it. What think jouV Its
very spiffy there on Friday nights, I'm
told.

SUMMER PHOTOPLAYS
ON LOCAL SCREENS
Melodrama ht the Stanley and
Victoria iArcadia Has New
Griffith Play
STANLET "Stolen Orders," a Drurjr Lane
melodrama by Cecil Raleigh and Hentv
Hamilton Directed by Harlet Knoles anil
Oeoree Kelson. Special production.
This photoplay is n lurid and vivid
melodrama of the war, from the cele
brated Drury lane workshop of Messrs.
Raleigh and Hamilton.
There is no doubting the interest of
(thls production or its ability to cause
creeps nd shudders. It Is almost a
serial given ns a single showing, for
I there are certainly enough dramatic
situations contained in it to furnlsli a i
ltflllfaiif f ......! .. -1. .l..Hnftn
Happily the producers and director
have not resorted to padding.
The immense possibilities of the motion-picture
camera have' been utilized
to the utmost, and, although the Story
is old-fashioued in its general com
plexion, it is naturally up to date in
theme and in the use of the most mod
ern of mechanical war confrhances.
Thp story has been Americanized and
centers in the nmchlnotious of a group
of German spies who huvc as their tool
a naval officer's wife who has become
involved in seemingly Inextricable
gnmbling debts. The chief roles' are
assumed bv Klttv Gordon. Carlvle
Blnckwrll, Montagu Love nnd 'June
Elvidgc, but since Drury lane casts are
always notable for their length quito
a sizeable group of secondary players
are -required for the intricate plot's
unfolding. ,
An added feature Is "A Desert
Hero," a travesty on the conventional
Wild Wet drama. Roscoe ("Fatty")
Arbuckle is the star.
ARCADIA "True Heart Slile," directed by
D. w. Orttdth. Stor bj Marlon Fremont,
with Lillian Ulsh. Robert Harron and
Clarlne fc'emour Artcratt nla
The tempo of this story is slow and
should be speeded by the ( injection of
ction of some sort. The fastest thing
in it is the auto of Sporty Malonc,
and the dance party might be consid
ered a little speedy, hut it. requires
patienco to await the end of the story.
It is claimed tlint the story and char
acters arc taken from life, aud that the
film Is dedicated to the millions of
women who are still awaiting their
sweethearts.
A hoy and a girl are schoolmates
in n small town. The girl sells borne
livestock and pays the boj 's expenses
in college, although he docs not know
from whom the monej comes. When
he returns, a minister, he meets u girl
who is stopping in the town, a paint-'
nud-powder kind, whom he marries.
Ml the while the little girl who loves
him and who hits sacrificed so much j
for her true love helps the wife. The
latter escapes the humdrum existence '
of the towu for n fling of life in the
city. In the cud the triangle situation
is righted by the wife dj ing and
leaving the way flear fqr the expla
nations by the girl's mint.

understanding of it, while Robert liar

VICTORIA "Secret Servlee," with Itobert
Warwick, ijtorsi by William Ulllette and
directed by Hugh ford. Artcratt play.
Let it be understood at once that
this movie has nothing to do with the
recent war, but thnt it is a story
founded upon the play by William Gil
lette. It"is a story of the ,C,ivil War,
and contains much that is of interest
to all movie fans.
The work of a spy is the basis of
the plot,' which has to- do with a
captain who goes to the lines of the
enemy and while there meets the sister,
of a man he has helped from the battle
field. A discarded lover of the girl
traps the soldier aud he is about to
be shof'whcu the message is brought
that the troops of which he is a mem
ber are coming and he is rescued. After
the war is over the lovers meet and are
married.
Robert Warwick, who has recently'
returned from inilltnry duty in Europe,
has the chief role (well adapted to his
style of acting), while Wanda Hawlcy
is his vis-a-vis. Theodore Roberts,
Raymond Hatton, Normal Selby, Irving
Cummins aud Edythe Chapman are also
iu the cast.
REC1ENT 'JAImost Martin." with May
Allison. Story by E. V. Durllne and di
rected by Charles Mvlcltard. Metro play.
The spectator will leave this play
with a feeling of having spent a pleas
ant hour of enjoyment, because the plot
is light and the acting good. There are
many opportunities for tho injection of
farcical material, but the producers
have seen fit to keep it down to the
comedy-drnmn variety of the movie.
A father pretends lie is married to
the girl whom his son wants for a wife.
This situation is brought about as the
result of a joke, but it all ends in good
humor as love triumphs.
As a vaudeville entertainer. May Al
lison makes a pleasing appearance, and
the background afforded for the role is
well staged. Walter I. Percival, Frank
Currier, Harry Rattenbury. James W.
Jones and Hugh Fay arc in the sup
porting parts..

regular lists nnd nn average of seventy,-
live meals served each day. the kitchen
lins everv reason to consider itself u
settled institution,' and is now being
managed as a strictly business concern,
with analyzed accounts kept in nn ot
fie where a desk, typewriter and nn as
sortment of files are presided over by
Shipley Brown, the new manager.
A schedule of prices has been ar
ranged for families varying in size from
two to ten members. The overhend'eost
is the same for each familj, nud to this
is added the minimum charge for each
meal. The overhead cost for lunch is
estimated at forty cents per family nnd
for dinner at seventy cents. The prices
charged cover the entire cost to the con
sumer, including delivery and the col
lection of empty containers, which are
provided by the families. To the cus
tomers who do not provide containers
the charge is, 10 per cent greater.
Extra for Transients
"Transients" who have their own
containers pay 10 per cent above sched
ule, except for Sunday dinners, when
they pay 20 per cent extra. The casual
customers who apply for meals ir
regularly are charged 15 per cent above
schedule and for Sunday dinners 25
per cent nbove.
Under the present schedule a family
of two gets lunch for ?1 and dinner for
$1.B0; for n family of six lunch costs
$2.20 nnd dinner $3.2.".
When "company" nrrives, all that a
family needs to do-is to telephone the
kitchen to add one, two or three more
meals to the family's service.
Dyspeptics also arc accommodated
with special food whenever the pro
pared menu is unsuited to their digestive
needs.
One family adds a complete extra
meal forhe household pets and iimists
upon the regular cuts for the fastidious
animals. . '.,-,
"There is room for expansion in (jyn
wvd," sa"8 Shipley Brown. "We de
liver to one family there now and sev
eral other families arc urging us to ex
tend our service. AVe deliver to two
families in Bryn Mawr, nine In Haver
ford and eleven in Ardmore. A e could
enUrge our service to at least nfty
families it we bad money to buy con
tainers." - ' , , , .
Financing the experiment has been
undertaken by several persons who have
Invested $100 each in the venture. Not
mow than one thousand dollars has been
subscribed and the kitchen is moving
slowly in its extensions for severa rea
son'. It is careful what families it
!.i.i t Uk lists and congratulates
itself on having met no financial losses
from .unsound credit.
Canning Is Feature
"Canning is now an Important part of
our work," M Brown went on.
7.o i hrlnc their vegetables and
fruits to us, and we do the canning for
them. These pcopie iuudi ,v - .

The labor situation is not troubling
h
the kitchen. At present mere are two
cooks and MrBrown is sura that many
more could be found to work the eight

the kitchen. Because meals are pre
