Vii"m, EVENING PUBLIC LEDGER PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1910 s Hi VARIED OFFERINGS AT THEATRES PROVIDE PLENTY OF ENTERTAINMENT "THE AUCTIONEER" AS GREAT A HIT AS EVER David Warfield Again Delights Audience in Old Success atthoGarrick If some of the farces and comedies, musical or straight, now being offered theatregoers could draw just half the number of hearty, spontaneous laughs ns "The Auctioneer," revived last night nt the Gnrrick by the two Davids i'finiii n,ui HMnsco their nroduccrs 15 ..I.. I tim "nncpli" whoso money bock them might well rub their hands in glee. Every line of the iilccc that tickled the risibilities of audiences of a gen eration ago got across with the same effect last night. Of course Warficld'a lcmurknhlc creation of Simon 'Levi, the beloved old Hebrew, the apostle of hap piness nml the (lolden ltule of Hester ssstreet, is still the vital, formidable and - dominant icaturo 01 me ih; ' , Warfield's characterization, while pcr- JinpS nOC BO UOinUlO HS nn iui,vi muta tions in "The Music Master" and "The llcturti of I'etcr Grim," apparently lives in the hearts of Philadelphia play goers, judging from tho big first-night crowd present. His work'in "The Auctioneer" takes Warfield back to the specialty which first brought him fame and popularity In vaudeville, nud several times last night there were flashes of tho old Hebrew comedian o years gono by. Tho sympathy of tho audience goes out tc the old man who is at times bold, watchful, suspicious and timid, as ho knows joy, want, worry and woe. Simon Levi, as presented by Warfield, is wholesomely suggestive, stimulating nnd inspiring. The star occasionally rises to lofty dramatic planes in his fitful tumults o noble passion and in turns of full majestic tenderness. Mr. Warfield is not the only one of the cast whoso efforts shine. There is the delicious comedy of Marie Bates, ns Mrs. Kgnu, and the splendid por trayal of Mrs. Levi by Jennie Moseo witz. Helena Phillips is worth while as Mrs. Lonvitt, as is Harry Rogers an Meyer Cohen. Others who contribute to tho merit of the performance arc Harry Llewellyn, Louis Hendricks, Guy Milham, Lorna Napier, Uessic l"ookb nnd Alf Helton. The remainder lire uniformly good.

'THE OLD HOMESTEAD' REVIVED AT WALNUT William Lawrence Seen in Dn- man Thompson's Famous Old Role With the good old-fashioned humor and pathos which has ever won the hearts of tho American theatregoer, Dcnman Thompson's classic of the American stage, "The Old Home stead," was revived for tho thirty-third time last night at the Walnut Street Theatre1. To many thousands of Americans thi.-i nppealing play of quaint New Kng lnnd folk life needs no introduction. Tile character of Uncle Joshua," in which Mr. Thompson became famous, is ably filled by William Lawrence, and the supporting cast is excellent. It is nlso quite apropos that this revival of the old-time masterpiece should take place in the oldest theatre in America. Unusual Works of Great Beauty Given at the Metropolitan Opera House Italy has long sent to us the best she has produced in opera, both bingers nnd composers, but last evening was the first time that Philadelphia ever has heard her best in the line of religious finging. About sixty members of the Vatican Choirs, under the leadership of Monsignor Maestro Ituffnelc Casimiro Cnsimlri. gave a concert nt the Metro politan Opcrn House before an audi ence that filled the structure to its doors and left a fringe of auditors, some five or six deep, staudinc behind the brass rail. The concert was almost in the nature of n religious service, ns every number on it with the exception of one motet liv Palcstrina was religious in charac ter. The choirs are composed of about sixty voices and they sing with a per fection of vocal ensemble that has never before been equaled by any body of singers nppenring in this city, even re membering tho wonderful work of the v Russian Cathedral Choir nt St. Mark's (Jiiurcn two years ago. ane parts are exceedingly well balanced, the cro scendos and diminuendos (the most dif ficult ensemble effect in musicl are vir- J tually perfect and tho attacks fltid re ft leases of notes nre as though one per ison were singing. The singers nre ab ly solutely under the control of Monsignor ji;asimin, wno nas mane a lite-long ! study of the Italian ecclesiastical music 1 nnd conducts with the idea of getting the utmost religious effect out of the music as well as showing its beauty of contrapuntal writing nnd of outline. The tone quality of the choirs is gen erally fine. In tho planlssimos it is very beautiful, but in the fortissimos there was an occasional tendency of certain of tho higher parts to force the, tone n little, while of course the slishtlv ncid I quality, inseparable from the use of boy Lnnrnnng ipna rlivtira nrnennf Tim Bamo thing, but perhaps to a lesser de gree, exists among the altos, but the tenors were superb and the basses very fine. More than half of the program was made up of the works of I'alestrinu, mostly of live-part motets. There were two numbers by Vittoria, oue by Via dana and one by Maestro Casimiri him self. Naturally nil tho compositions louowcu tnc formalism which was the chief characteristic of sacred music, and I iftheir composition. it Is unnecessary to go into the pro gram in detail. Probably the finest number on it was the "Ave Maria" of Vittorio, a truly exquisite work full of the deepest religious and emotional feel ing and beautifully bung. The same characteristics were apparent in the four-part motets "Nigra Sum" and "Exultuto Deo" of Palcstrina. Mon signor Casimiri's composition is a fine religious work written for six parts. It follows the style of Palcstrina in itR general outlines, but the melodic curves arc freer, tho modulations more modern and tho part writing less formal. Tho concert was one long to bo remembered, pot only from its rarity, but from its actual musical beauty as well.

ARCADIA "In Mliiourn." with Ilohert Warwick. Directed bv Hugh Ford from the play by Auffustun Thomas. Awny back in the days when the movies were quite in their infancy there was a company formed by Harry Reiver which made a movie of this play, but that wns nt n time when the present artof the cincmi was not ns proficient ns it is now. "In Mizzotira" wns good then, nnd, if the writer mistake not, Hurr Macintosh played the role now acted b Robert Warwick. This pro duction, however, is far in advance of its predecessor. Robert Warwick hns n large follow ing here nnd his appearnuic ns the Mis sourinn is n fine characterization. Eileen Percy, who has been associated with some fine players before, is the girl in the case. Monte Itlue, nnother former member of the Douglas Fnirbanks out fit, has an important role, ns has Rob ert Cain as the school friend of the girl. Others whose work is of good qunlity nre A'lctor Potcl, Noah Rccry and Gertrude Short. VICTOIJIA AND, COLONTA!, "Tho ItlBht to llanplnrns," with Dorothy Phillips Story by Allen Holubar and directed by hlni There is n universal appeal in this picture becnuse it deals with a prob lem which is foremost in the news of tho day and the important topic of the times labor trouble. Some may recall that it was Allen Holubar who directed "TTnurf nf Humanity," which had its showing qt these thentres. The work in this piny is equally goou and snows n careful study of the subject. As to the motiva tion, it deals with the Russian massacre of 180.S. Two children are separated by the big fire. One is adopted by an anarchist, while tho sister is taken to America, where they meet in later j ears. Many excellent lighting effects have been obtained nnd the little touches of animal life in the opening scenes nre well done. The playing of the dual role of two sisters by Dorothy Phillips is as fine n bit of screen noting ns has been seen for sonic, months. As a Rus sian, Robert Anderson is well cast, as nro William Stowcll nnd Stanhope Wheatcroft in other roles. nnf.EXT "IIU OITIr-ial Finncr-." with Vivian Martin. Story by Hertha. Ituck and directed by Robert CI, Vlgnola This picture proves that it Is not always possible to make fine plays, although this one comes well within the boundary line of "fair," nnd will no doubt please a lot of patrons. At least one thing is shown, nnd that is the very scant material with which Kdith Kennedy has woven the scenario from the threads of the novel. Vivian Martin, who has the principal role, tried very hard with her part and succeeded in n measure, while Forrest Stanley contributes good work as her vis-n-vis. Vera Slsion may be recalled by movio fans for her work in other pieces, ns will James Nclll.

Wallace Held proves himself a hero in "The tottery Man" at the Capitol and Strand, while Diaries Ray puts the punch Into "The Kgg Crate Wallop" nt the Locust. Herbert Rawllnson holds forth nt the Rivoll, in "A Dangerous Affair." "UP FROM NOWHERE" LIGHT BUT BRIGHT KEITH'S BILL CLOSES WITH RIOT-OF COMEDY Tarkington-Wilson Comedy of "New Americans" Has Slender Theme, but Amusing Dialogue Kveii Hooth Tarkington and Harry Leon Wilson in their most fine-spun collabntntlon in the past have not suc ceeded in nttenunting n slender theme to such a hnlrllnc of plot nnd situation ns they hnc effected in "Up From No where." And this is not neglecting to remember "The Man From Home." Yet though it is flimsy in mnterial and insecure in construction it proved highly ngreenhlo to Inst night's audience at the Adelphi, which testified to its pleasure in numerous curtain calls to all the cast and particularly to the featured player, Normnu Trevor, who made a speech, and Cecil Yapp, who gave a droll impersonation of a retired sea captain. This favor of reception was due pri marily to the tang nnd savor of the dialogue. "I'p From Nowhere" is one of thnt variety of static dramas in which the poitness nnd pntness of the conversation between the various dra matis per-.onae takes the fancy of audi ences and to such nn extent thnt they do not bother about the implausibility of the situations or the Bketchincss of the characterizations. Mr. Trevor's acting was very finely fitted to his role. Cecil Yapp, remem bered from the S'ew Theatre Company, was n sort of "deus ex mnchlna" to keep the plot moving when it needed winding up again ; his characterization was highly amusing. The other acting honors belonged to Mnrgolo Gillmore, who played fetchingly nnd always in tho picture, the role of the youngest daughter. Ann AnMrcws ns the blue blooded girl with numerous ancestors was rather ineffective in the first two acts, but attained some emotional dis tinction in the third-act situation the only situation in tho play where she casts conventions nnd the rules of con duct of high society to the winds and spends an uuehaperoued evening with the magnate, who for the time being is very much the cave man. "Miracle Man" Coming Tho Parnmouut-Airaraft feature, "The Miracle Man," will be shown for the first time in this city nt the Metro politan Opera House commencing with the matinee at -:lf Saturday. "The Sliracle Man" was published originally ns n novel. It was written by Frank L. Packard, and later dra matized by George M. Cohan.
