14 MISSCROSMAN IN NEW PLAY Critical Moment Saved by Talent of Star; Disap pointing in Theme Henrietta Crosman is as charming as ever, but her new place is scarcely worthy of mention, and certainly not worthy of the ever-welcome Miss Crosman. "Tne Critical Moment," a | • triangle" play by Stanley Dark and Era Dennison, is very disappointing, and even Miss Crosman's wonderful acting could not get it over too "well at the Orpheum last evening, when it was played^to a handful of people. It will bp presented again this eve- ! ning. To those who have seen her in her previous succeas, when she has been surrounded by a more possible cast, and shared the triumphs with such stars as William Faversham and Charles Cherry, as she did in Shaw's "Getting Married," the play of last evening was even more than disap -Ing. Whoever urged it upon Miss Crosman was certainly guilty of a supreme lack of judgment. As Rhoda Callighan, the friend who tnies to avert the threatened break in the home, and goes so far in her friendship that she jeopardizes her own reputation and future happiness, I Miss Crosman was her old self, witty, i keen, ever alive to battle, and per- I petually seeking to aid her friend, j In her supporting east Harry Uurk-j hardt, as the faithful friend and lover! of Rhoda, lid ward Harney, as the I wrong angle of the triangle, and EI- ; wyn Harvey as the girl who is try-| iiy to force the break, were quite 1 good. The rest of the cast was also j present. MAX ROBERTSON, j Tells a Secret Manufacturer of Famous Medi cine Tells Ingredients, So Pub lic Can Appreciate Pure.

I I I THE MIRACLE MAN On Saturday afternoon a new pic-J Mure opened at the Chestnut Street I Opera House'in I'hiiadelphia. It had I I been heralded by its producers as be- I | ins a marvelous picture, one which | was so far out of the ordinary as to I I be called a Miracle picture. I On Monday morning the Philadel- j phia North American devoted to the ] •exclusion of all other editorials two full editorial columns to a story and | review of this wonderful picture | called the "Miracle Man." .lust to I quote the North American in a few ] excerpts will give the reader a good, | conception of this latest wonder j picture. Its elusive yet unforgettable quali- 1 1y is revealed in the fact that the] J story may be. told in two sentences, i I yet might not be conveyed in words j tilling as many pages. A gang of] tenderloin criminals hear of the I ; j strange powers of a "patriarch" in a (remote village, whose beauty of llle land faith have helped to bring health: ■j and peace of mind to the suffering:; j assuming innocence and belief, they; I surround him, and stage a pretended i ] "miracle," through which they plan; to exploit the sightless healer as a I business enterprise. Their cunning I I succeeds beyond all their hopes. But j unconsciously they fall under ihej spell which they hud sought to use—| thev arc themselves transformer j lifted by faith from depravity to a] , cleansed, ennobled manhood and; womanhood. i That is all. A theme of elemental | ! simplicity, yet as complex as the hij- j 11 man heart; as modern as yesterday s; news, yet as old as the hills of Csali-j ' lee. It is the simplicity of the story: ' and its telling that makes the pic . turo's success so striking. _ It has | itnone of the magnificent settings and; ingenious theatrical illusions of those ; [ spectacles which have evoked j . claim and wonderment. Tts subtle power is comparable oniy to that o. ; one other production, "Broken Blos soms." And that searching drama has the special appeal of an Idealised | foreign atmosphere, of a suggestion j of livid horror which stirs by sheer; 1 pain the depths of feeling. But the 1 magnetism of this story lies in ;ts i scenes of beauty and tranquility no! less than in those of sordidness and j ferocitv. Its passion is masterful, i ' hut its quietude is irresistible. It' 1 steals into the heart like an exquisite | poem lives in the memory like a ! ! haunting song. I SOMF NOTES OF SCR KEN STARS j Harrison Ford is not Constanco, Talmndge's leading man at present.

The play comes to the Orpheum ; to-morrow evening with a cast of un- ' usual excellence, headed by William I I,awience*as "Uncle Josh" and a dou ble quartet of talented singers in the good old songs which have always proved se popular with the produc-1 lion. To the many thousands -who have beiome fond of the delightful old | play and its people, it may be inter- ; esting to know that. Mr. Thompson took most of his characters from real, life. ITncle Joshua Is a composite re production of two persons who lived in Swunzey. one known as Captain*| Whltcomb and the other as Joshua 11 olbrook. The Captain furnished the comedy and Joshua suggested the more serious momeats of the play. The original of Aunt. Matilda was a sister of Joshua Holbrook and known to all the people of Swunzey as Aunt rthndv, u tender, honest, faithful, lespecluble old woman; Cy Prime was a fellow townsmen who had the reputation of being the biggest liar in Cheshire county and Setli Perkins was a composite of several charac ters; Henry Hopkins was a real boy playmate of Penman Thompson who went to New York, "made good" and required wealth. The good whole some philosophy of "The Old Home stead" was the living philosophy of .1 real Uncle Josh, and its people were people from real life. It is probably a sound conclusion, therefore, thai.
