entitled "The Better 'Wife," principal
feature next week at the Stanley, oc
casioned comment amoiiK moving pic

Fenncll, J. G. Underbill and John
Bfeppllng are among the sterling plaj -crs
chosen by MUs Young. Among
thorn will be identified stars who hae
been presented at the head of their own i
companies.
This picture, the first to be made by
SBss Young for independent distri
bution. Is a "commonwealth picture,"
although the production cot is being
borne by Miss Young. Miss Young
Is a business woman, and her personal
contact with exhibitors and exchange
men convinced her that too many good
actors cannot be assembled in a enst,
nnd that the day of the star's "hog
ging" a picture production has passed.
llecognized as one of the world's
popular novelists, Robert XX. (ham
bcrs numbers among many other suc
cesses his novel of "The Tiring Line "
The story first appeared as n seiial
in "The Saturday Evening Post in 1007
nnd a year later it was published with
success in book form. The theme is
an Interesting one nnd its central char
actcr, Sheila Cardross, is one of the
ntrouge.se heroines of the Chambers gal
lery of pen portraits.
The plcturizntion of the novel pro
vides Irene Castle, dancer nnd enter
tainer, with an admirable role. This
picture will be shown at the Arcadia
next week. ttobert V. Steele plnjs op
posite the star nnd the support includes
bucIi well-known plajers as J. II. Gil
more, Iludolph de Cordova, Prank Lo
se, Shaw Lovett, Isabel West nnd May
Kltson. Charles Malgne, a brilliant
scenarist and director, directed "The
Firing Line."
A new twist is accomplished in the
familiar "double role" in "Putting One
Over," stnrring George AYnlsh, which
will be the principal feature next week
at the Victoria. Walsh plays the parts
of Horace Barney and Jack Trevor,
who resemble one nnother in every
thing except the shades of hair. Horace
is killed in a railroad wreck, and some
scheming individuals, who were tnking
the mentally incompetent Horace to a
sanitarium in order that they might
enjoy his fortune, are now fearful that
the money may pass into other hands.
Jack Trevor is in the same train wreck,
which is so well staged that it looks
like the real thing. Jack awakens
from his unconscious state dressed in
the pajamas of Horace Barney nnd find
ing himself called by that name. The
odd situation makes interesting doings
for Jack, who brings disaster upon the
crooks, incidentally winning a girl and
& fortune.

HAVE A BIG SEASON s SSk
Prospectus Promises Many Nov
elties, With All the Old Singers
and Some New Ones
The prospectus of the Metropolitan
Opcra'Compnny for the coining season
shows some interesting things, among
others thnt we are to have at least one
Wngnerinn opera during the season,
thnt one being "Parsifal." which it is
reported is to be sung in Fngllsh. Next
to this perhaps is the spiking of the long
persistent rumor that Mmc. Galli-Curcl
was to join the "Met." Her name does
not appear on the list of artists, which
is both long nnd impressive.
Among the novelties nnd revivals
scheduled by Mr. Gatti-Casazza for the
delectation of Philadelphia opera-goers,
aside from "Parsifal," are Henrj
Hadlej's "Cleopatra's Night": "La
.7uie" of Halevy ; anew opera, "Zaza,"
bj Leoncavallo, preMimablj based on the
play made famous or otherwise by Mrs.
Leslie Carter some sears ngo ; "Ma-
by Massenet; "Itnllana in Al-
geria" of Rossini, which, except for the
overture, has been dead n good many
je.us: "Eugenio Oncigiu," bj Tschai
Itowsky, and "Olsenu Bleu." by Albert
Wolff, doubtless based on the story of
Mneterlinck.
Of these, the works of Ilndley, Leon
(ii'ollo and Wolff a.e new. Mr. Wolff
is one of the new conductors of the Met
ropolitan Opera nnd was engaged to take
the place of Pier.e Moiiteux, now' with
the Boston Sj niplwny Orchestia, and if
-Mr. Gatti in his wisdom sees lit to let
Philadelphia hear the opera It will
doubtless be conducted by the composer.
Mr. Wolff will conduct the Fieuch
operas this year.
The directors of the Philadelphia ex
executive committee should see that of
the noelties the opera-lovers of this city
get a chance to henr nt least the works
of Hndlcy, Leoncavallo, Tsehnikowsky
nnd WolfT, besides "IMrsiinl." The
"stnndnid" repertoire from which the
other operas will be chosen shows no
gieat change from past j ears except that
the Piic.ini Trj pitch has now become
"stnndnid" nnd that Mnrnit is lenre-
bcutcd by only one opera, "The Marringe
ot J-igaro." while IJcethoen'h "Fide
lio" and all the Wagner operas, except
ing Parsiful, have been gracefully elim
inated. The artists remain irtunlly the same,
except thnt Amato, now perfectly re
covered in health, replaces Monteanto.
The other great singers aro nguin nil
in line, with some new ones added.
These new one nrc Gabrlella Besnnzoni,
contralto, of the Costanzi Opera, of
Rome; Louise Bcrnt, formerly of the
Opera Coiiihruc, of Pails; ltenato
Znuelli, baritone, of the Santiago
Opera ; Giovanni Martino, basso, for
merly of La Sealn, of Milan, nnd Octave
Dun, tenor boffo, 'of Coent Garden,
Ten American artists have been ndded
to the conipauj Orville Hnrrold, tenor;
Etehn Scotncy, Gladys Axmnn, Ellen
Dalossy, Margaret Farnam, Edna Kel
logg and Adeline Vosari, sopranos, nnd
Jeanne Gordon, Frances Ingram nnd
Carolina Lazznri, contraltos.
The Interpreters of some of the new
roles will be Gernldlnc Farrar, who will
appear in "Znza," while Caruso will
sing the tenor part in the revUal ot
Halevj's "Ln Juive." Mr. Guttl, the
prospectus sa)K,'will produce os many
of the new works in this city ns is con
sistent with the niraugeinent of the
repertoire, Emma Destinova (Destinu)
is expected to come to the united States,
and may be heard during the season.
while JlnDei linrrisau is promixeci a
more important position than formerly.
The high cost of everything also has
made its imprint upon the Metropolitan,
because, while the season subscription
remains the same, it has been found
necessnry to ndvance the price of seats
for the single performances "approxi
mately -0 per cent." The season, as
heretofore, will consist of sixteen per
formances, all on Tuesday evenings, be
ginning on November 25 and closing
on Tuesday evening! April 0,

NAVY ATHLETE BACK
ON VAUDEVILLE STAGE
Orville Stamm Physical Instruc-
tor In Aviation and Sub
marine Unit
Among the vaudeville artists who
volunteered their services to the gov
ernment during tho war was Orville
Stnmm, a young athlete whose feats ot
strength have made him a feature nt-1
i
traction on the stnge for several jenrs. j
Mr. Stamm enlisted In the navy mid
after the usunl period of training, was
assigned to duty ns an A, B. aboard the
submarine chnscr 10-.T. j
Sailors arc usually physically fit, I
therefore Mr, Stnmm's strength at
tracted little more than pnsslng roni- ,
ment. It wns not until the benefit of
a naval relief fund, given in Ncwj
York, in which Bnrlco Caruso nnd
1000 seamen participated, that Stnmm's
particular merits were discovered. In,
the audience was an admiinl, and part!
of the performance was physical oxer-1
cise, in which Htnmm participated.
As n result of this exhibition, the
admiral issued orders and Htnmm was
token off the 10-J and nppointed physi
cal instructor of the aviation nnd Mil)-
mnrine unit of the navy, and he wasi
held responsible for the phjslcnl con
dition of nbout 000 of I'ncle Sam's1
men. He will appear at Keith's next,
week In n demonstration of strength i
nnd physlcnl culture exercise.
