THE MARRIAGE TAX
SKBIG HIT
Society Felk Slower Applause
en Actors in Academy
of Music
AID TO CHURCH INSTITUTE
"The Marrloge Tax," a musical
comedy,' was presented last nlgtit In the
Academy of Music by society folk. Mrs.
Oeorge Dallas Dixen wrete the book
and lyrics and A. Baldwin Sleano and
Charles Gilpin, .Id, nre responsible for
the melody.
Although the comedy was pre
scntcd for the first and probably the
last time ln,st night, the offering of these
Philadelphia artists stands en its own
merits as a worthy theatrical produc
tion. It accomplished a twofold and
commendable purpose. Aside from the
fact timt an overflowing house yielded
n hnndfome sum for the Seamen's
Church Institute, honors go te the play
ler bci v: tne nrst work of the stnge te
:or bcl :
leal w.i
i'uuadelplila's proposed Hes-
qul-Ccntcnnlnl Exposition, a glimpse
of which provided- the scene for the
last act. The play epf-ned in Alx-lcs-Balns.
'
Tne story, that 6f n headstrong
American girl, daughter of a wealthy
California Senater, who was the father
of a bill that gave the Government 05
per cent of the fortune of nn heiress
when she married a poverty-stricken
member of Europe s nobility, was clever
enough but rather lest sight of in a
profusion of charming song nnd dance.
One of the decided hits of the per
formance, and one thnt developed an
amusing feature net in the production
was the chorus .of Erav. but by nu
means drab, Quakcrtewn girls. Perhaps
It was the way they danced, and per
haps it was because it included some
of Philadelphia's met popular belles
thnt caused the fnshlenablc audicnee te
applaud for nn encore all the while ft
Falrmeuut I'nrk Commissioner wus in
tent upon singing n hour proclaiming
the greatness of Philadelphia. The
Commissioner sang lustily one could
Bee that and though no one heard him,
he had his way.
The Quaker girl chorus was composed
of Peggy Tlinycr, Theodora Lllllc,
Katharine Ogdcn, Carel Smith, Mury
Glendlnning, Margaret Dalktt, Bar
bara Boyd, Banning Grange, Mrs. Jo Je
seph Rollins and' Jeanne Delteusse.
Perhaps the most notable feature of
the preductipn was the Flowers of the
Alni ballet, introduced as a divertisse
ment for the amusement of the King of
Greece. Comely young girls dancca in
the gnng of cyclamens, columbines nnd
gentiani until the Frest King blew his
breath en them. He was vanquished by
the Snlrit of Edclwelbs. The latter parts
were taken by W. Heward McAllister
nnd Mrs. Alexander Dannebaum.
The principals Included Themas
Hart, Jack Whiting, Mrs. Hnreld Ellis
Yarnnll, Leslie Jey, Mrs. Geerge Wil
cox Mclvcr. Jr., Mrs. L. J. Hammend
and Miss FranccsMlnmmend.
David Scllcw Vegcls was the stage
rtlrocter. The dnnclnir was directed by
Ellwood Carpenter. The orchestrations
were arranged by Walter Paul.
RESEARCH FREEDOM URGED
Dr. Paul Lewis Declares Benefac
tiens Should Be Unrestricted
Philadelphia, in the opinion of Dr
Pmil A. Lewis, nrofesser of experi
mental pathology at the University of
rennsylvania, is seriously nanuicnppeu
in its fight for the medical supremacy
of the world by well-meaning bene
fnrtnrs. who. in clvinc large sums for
medical research work, restrict the use
of thn menev te Micclal subjects.
Dr. Lewis lectured in the foyer of
the Academy of Music yesterday en
"The Significance, of Medical Research
in Philadelphia."
After Hhewing by a historical review
hew the future of Philadelphia's med
ical reputation was linked up definitely
with the field of research, he explained
the secret of the Rockefeller Institute's
success in New Yerk City.
"One of the most striking develop
ments in the field of medical research,"
said Dr. Lewis, "has been the estab
lishment during the last twenty-five
j cars of numerous funds, institutes nnd
foundations whose purpose it is te pro pre pro
meto scientific research in medicine ns
a first purpose. Of these, the most suc
cessful has been the Rockefeller Insti
tute because it has been founded with
out restriction te any special subject."
