These Gates Again Are Ajar In n New Yerk Times editorial the resemblance was pointed out between Sir Arthur Cenan Deyle's recent ut terances en spiritualism and Elizabeth Stuart Phelps' famous "The Gates Ajar." She was about twenty years old when she wrote it, and the Civil AVar had just come te a close. Her own lever had been killed in the war, and the young authoress desired te com fort ether women bereft by the terrible conflict. The book was produced under circumstances similar te the present, and fell upon a period of unrest and spiritual curiosity like the present. The American circulation was mere than 100,000 copies. Ner was that nil. Muny middle-aged people will remem ber the "Gates Ajar Cellar" or "Gates Ajar Tippet." Sir Arthur has yet that distinction te aim at. ) Leaf's Greek Anthology Di.

She appeared In a sketch entitled "Mevie Mnd," 'which gave her opportunities galore te show that her once being the wife of Charlie Cbaplln was net the only reason she is new starring. Miss Harris, the daughter of a banker, feigns te be a country girl, te show her father she can succeed en her own initiative. She does with a vim. The star is ably supported by ft. Miller Kent as the director, and Beatrice Mera-an. his stenographer. By far the best applause getter and the hardest workers en the bill nre Bailey and Cowan. This team had te respond te several encores. They nre seen in a new act called "The Little Production." Their singing and In strument playing are above the ordinary. Charming Ksteilc Davis also has a big part in the act, although the major portion of it she just has te leek pretty. "The Come-Backs" are five min strels, all of whom are above the sixty year mark.

Using only "home talent," Mr. Orth, mainly by his own ubiquitous presence nnd his showmanship, has put together n show that proved as pleasing as many mere pretentious revues of the season and reMies are only sublimated vaudeville anyway. Of course, El Brcndcl and Flo Bert arc kept as the principle funmakers. They repeat one of their own standard favorites nnd then keep hopping In and out with something new until the sea soned theatregeer wonders if their box of tricks ever will run dry. With a chorus passable as te leeks and n little better trained than last week going through simple stage drills, Orth fills in the moments when James and Edith James arc net bringing forth harmony from half a dozen dif ferent Instruments, or when Jack Mcr- 1111 1P11 I. tvuilllg nuu ti fu.it vk villus in a manner te make even a Mississippi Hh J-'t lnnlt .,1( n nnnl. nf nnMila River gambler suspicious, or when Her man and Briscoe aren't singing lustily, if net in grand -opera timbre, or when Klmberly nnd Page have stepped their little comedy act.

"BUDDIES" AT CROSS KEY8 Cress Keys By a very delightful presentation of "Buddies," one- of the best comedies written bv Geerge V. Ho He barti May Desmond and her players scored another decisive hit. The fact that Miss Desmond, Frank Fielder, her leading man, and ether members of the cast have met such a reception in their new home augurs well for the'eentinued success of the company, which is new only in its second week !r. West Phila delphia. An after-tbe-war romance in Brit tnnv is unfolded in the story, which deals with the whims and the loyalty of the men who fought for the cause of democracy. White there are many thrills In the story, It Is also well sprinkled with comedy and sustains Interest throughout. Miss Desmond in the principal role added nnether success te her long list of characterizations and ether members of the cast were well suited te the vari eus roles. GILLETTE SCORES IN "DREAM MAKER" New Melodrama Is Well Written and Acted and Has Unusually Original Theme for Story Bread With William Gillette's veteran hand te guide It through all stages, from manuscript te finished production, it was a foregone conclu sion that "The Dream Maker" would be at least a skillful bit of dramatic craftsmanship. But it Is mere than that. Despite the difficulty of really believing the story it tells, one can quite easily give oneself up te the grip of the narrative and thrill without shame at the melodramatic climaxes and feel dellcleusly tlngly as the queer old doctor, himself an ex-convict, uses his keen Insight into the working of creek minds te thwart tne gang wne nre about te wreck the life of the Innocent young girl. It is the kind of melodrama that might easily descend te the ridiculous in less capable hands, but, as done here by an exceptional cast, it leaves one with the impression of a very well Btient evening. And it has one merit tnar sneuiu siamii u an nuicnunuy. That is originality. Heward E. Morten, the author, has evolved an unusual idea in this theme of the man with the insatiable thirst for devious ways. As he has his char acter say of the things he get in life, "If 1 found I ceuia get tuem aenesuy I didn't want them." He was a born creek. But he carried all through his life and all through his prison term bis great love for one woman. Uld and oreKen, ne nnauy returns from his wanderings te find the daugh ter of this woman, nnd his love Uvea again. But his creek Instinct tells him unerringly that her supposed friends nre creeks who are planting a scheme te get wealth that is coining te her, but of which she knows nothing. There is a terrible scene, well staged by the creeks te ruin her reputation and cost her her husband's love and her sanity is threatened by the awfulness of her situation. But the old doctor, in ap proved Gillette style, gets the upper hand of the creeks and forces them te join him In making her believe it was nil a bad dream and everything is all right, nfter all. Gillette is just about faultless in his work as the doctor. The part suits his individuality and his personality carries the story successfully ever strained sit uations that would net, in the hands of onether, bear critical analysis. But Gil lette, rather than the author, surmounts them. There is a very strong bit of acting done by William Merris as the leading rroek. It 1h as clean cut and convinc ing a sample of suave villainy as we have teen in many seasons. Myrtle Tanna hill, the "creeks" of the gang, also handles her part skillfully, and Marie Ilaynes In a maid's role steed out well in a miner part. Unfortunately, the girl whom the doctor saves doesn't impress one as being very well worth saving for the stage, nt least but the rest of the play gets along all right in spite of her. The setting in which most of the ac tion takes place is a well -constructed interior, with unusually pleasing lines end color nnd lighting effects Twe Wills Are Probated The wills of James F. Cerry, 8S05 Germantown avenue, whose estate is valued at $0000, and Albert J. John John Jehn eon. 100L' Hnwerth street, $8000, were probated today.

Waiting Outside the Shew : -y ' mcevey if veu must i GLORIA AND RUDY MAKE WORLD TOUR Nw Film Takes Them Meelly All Over the Glebe Wallaee Reid Has Geed New Play Stanley Somebody should have christened this week's film feature "A Quick Tour of Europe" or "A Sight seeing Leve Story." ... Travel pictures and fashion displays are generally confined te a single reel, but In "Beyond the Becks" they nre lumped together In six, under the au thorship of Eliner Glrn, Gleria Swan son and Rudelph Valentine are the in corrigible levers. This tour de luxe starts in en Eng- iise seaceasc town, wnerein is snewn hew a young English nobleman with tne nrst name or uecter, rescues irem drowning Theodora Fitzgerald, wne is a mere slip of a girl, tut leeks and acta like 31. Leve never runs smoothly with Mrs. Glyn, however, and se Theo dora (for family reasons) must marry a decrepit old millionaire, who started as a grocer and is looking for a title. The first-stop-ever is in the Alps, wherein is shown hew Theodora has te nurse her ailing husband. She takes time off, however, and, while crag scaling, tumbles nnd Is rescued again by the ever-ready Hecter. Here the love story bells ever and stays that way for Ave reels. A two-minute step is made In Paris, only for the purpose of showing that Theodora and Hecter are in a bad way for liking one another, and also te show the distinctly bad tastes of modern fashions, posed ngalnst a Versailles background. Londen is only paused at. and time for lunch is allowed at an English coun try estate, where the two levers get simply tangled up in their fondness for one another, and the Innocent old hus band wakes up te the fact. The audience has just time te catch its breath before they are trundled off te Africa, where the love story gets a final chance te blase ,and the husband, who offends in that he stands in the way of the younger folks' affairs, lets himself get killed by an -Arab. The tour ends at an unnamed station a yacht at dusk en a placid stretch of water. The love affair simmers atfay, new that the husband is dead, te a conventional nnd unexclted conclusion. Rebert Belder does an excellent piece of work as the husband, and June Elvldge is like a fresh, clean breath of wind in a thick and oppressive hothouse, but her role is small. Karlton Everybody likes a picture with plenty of geed action and a minimum of the usual superficial hokum. Such n film is "Acress the Continent" nnd. although it never pre tends te be anything mere than an hour's entertainment, it does its work se efficiently and se smoothly that it must be counted as far above the aver age. The title explains the plot. There is an old automobile manufacturer (played by Theodere Roberts) who enters into u trans-centinental race against a mere famous rival (Walter Leng). The son of the first-named (Wallace Reld) Is about te drive another car, but seeing his father's disappointment, switches, and agrees te drive the family brand which is little and nerhlne te leek nt. Of course, by ingenuity and daring he wins the race. Reid is n most likable and unspoiled here, a typical American boy, ana dis appointment that he does net try big ger things Is dissipated in bis interest ing depiction of this chap who started by despising his father's brand of car, and ended by driving it te victory. Te say that Roberts is geed is, te photoplay fans, superfluous. He is really the star of this picture, with his famous cigar, his pride ever his make of auto mobile, his genuine grief at his apparent defeat and his sly and amusing watch ever bis son's love affair. Arcadia Anether of the screen's ex ponents of fiapperism is seen te advan tage th "Midnight." Constance Dlnney is the lady and the1 picture was made some time before she startled the na tives by setting the pace in a New Yerk popularity contest. Frankly speaking, there is nothing about "Midnight" or its star te produce encomiums, but it will serve as moderately geed enter tainment. "Midnight" concerns a girl brought up in luxury, whose life is nearly wrecked by one of these "spectres from the past" which abound en the screen. Jack Mulhall is a sincere and intelligent leading man, nnd William Ceurtlcigh displays his accustomed skill in a geed part. Arthur Hull Is acceptable as the "heavy." Victeria Jacksen Gregery's novels are popular for screen adaptation, and ?enerally make the kind of films that the tins like. "Man te Man." in which Harry Carey rides and sheets, Is no exception. It is hard-and-fast, dyed-in-the-wool Western stuff, and, as such, ranks with the best. A cattle stampede. In which fiOOO animals showed intelligence and spirit in their picturesque "extra" relei, is a feature of the pleture. An unusual featuie of "Man te Man" Is that It combines the "Seuth Sea Island dere lict" variety of story and the ranch of the West kind. The heie is lecnlled from a wastrel life et Tiva-Tlve te hacdle his father's ranch in Arizona. Regent Gareth Hughes is seen in nn nn other comedy role in "I Cen nxnlaln." which fits his personality te a T. The clot Is a combination of strelcht mm. edv and wild farce, amounting nt times almost te extravagance. Tliat it is often silly is due both te director and star, burthe letter's edinlrers will, no doubt, overlook that. The here Is n business man who Is enlisted bv the wife of his senior partner te help her serretly invest some of her own money.
