Cohan, ever master In taglng a musical comedy, again giving Ms audience the story of a get-rlch-fluick hero, a charming heroine In the person o( social secretary, the machinations of a divorcee well, it was a Cohan play through and through I The nudiencc applauded at times it stormed and ninety-nine out oftvery 300 left the theatre humming or whistling "The Ijove Nest." "Mary," a wholesome, bright. Co-jiancsque show, in that It combines all essentials of a musical comedy of the hour, is decidedly one of the most pleasing plays of the year. The master hand of the ISclasco of musical comedy is een in the well-drilled chorus, the dancing novelties and the sentimental them which carries the audience through domestic financial tragedies to renewed wealth Mary, of course, ever the inspiration to the son of the great house who fails In selling his patent houses, but gains riches through the oil he finds in digging the cellars. After all, It is not the book which Is responsible for Mary's success, despite the fnct that Otto Ilnrbieh and Frank Mandcl have done well. Louis Hlrsclt's music and the "pep' which Mr.

Cohan has instilled into the company these win the audience. And all became uneasy in their seatt when "Tom, Tom, Todle" was plajed. while "Anything You Want to Do. Dear" and "Mary," carrying with it the old Kay Tcinpleton song, were most favorably received. Janet Velle as Mary injected an unusual amount of originality iuto her part despite the fact that she tried a little too hard to please.

With Jack SIcGowun, always receied well in this city, bhe soon anight her nudiencc until "The Love Nest" cemented the good feeling across the footlights. Alfred Georgia Calne. Florrie Mlller-ahlp the crafty dlioippc. worldly wit, yet demure the vivacious Charles Judels. the jovial James Marlowe these formed the excellent cast.

A spectacular tinale Katzenjammer Kids" returned. A of the traditional blackface "first part" real, sure-enough bare-kneed chorus is is "All Aboard for Dixie." Emmet one of the features of this aried ex- appears at his best in new bal-travaganza. A dozen lively chorus lads, maidens, appearing In a varietv of cos- tunics, dispense with the conventional fleshings and therebj -ac time and expense. Forrest The boys put it across last night with a freshness and a brightness and a bang which needed only their own very npparcnt self enjoyment to make the Mask nnd Wig Club's thirty-second annunl show Its annual success. "Don Quixote, the title It carries.

Charlie Morgan hns never devised more variegated and elaborated dances and specialties than those in which the I'nlverklty boys and "girls" terpst-chored to success in this really admirable Mask and Wig production. And part of the quality is due to the agreeably tuneful music score of Charlie Gilpin, who also wrote the metrically ingenious lyrics. The comedy about fifty-fifties honors with that of the routine musical shows revealed here this season. It'si not strikingly good and It's not very bad It's just musical comedy wit and humor. The book, goes back to the favorite and familiar Wlggcrs' formulary of earlier jcars, an extravaganza based on some historic or otherwise noted or notorious character.

This is a much better Idea than the "Revue of Revues" which was last year'a innovation. Cervantes travestied chivalry and tho librettists, Messrs. Gilpin, Morgan, II. M. I.avino and J.

II. Hoff, have travestied Cervantes in a hodgepodge of plot pivoted on the knight of the Rueful Countenance, set in medieval Spain, which gives Mr. I.avino an opportunity to dress the singing nnd dancing students in colorful costumes. From the pictorial, dancing and vocal standpoints the Mask and Wig has done nothing even in the good old days to take the edge oft this newest offering. The well-blended voices oMhc glee club men made some of the musical numbers mellow pleasure to the ear and the agility, skill and gracefulness of the doucerH made the specialties a treat for the eye.

The members of the cast were more uniform in merit than is often the case in amateur productions. Rut this Mask and Wig show is almost 100 per cent professional in Its worth. The cast follows: Plctro, it retired sea captain, nntr landlord of the Golden Dull P. II Ehmmn. '21 Du'clnea daughter of Pletro, bloved of linn wanmr.

EASTER WEtK'S FILMS ARE VARIED Clara Young, Constance Tal-madge, Allco Joyce, William Farnum, Ollvo Thomas Stars Stanley "The Forbidden Woman" is an Ideal type of play for the talents of Clara Kimball Young because It gives her an opportunity to enact her striking emotional scenes with the support of competent players. One thing noticed (n this and other recent pictures is the tendency to keep her adjusted to the play as much as possible, and this gives the supporting players greater scope. Lcnore Coffey has supplied story which tells of the love of a husband for an actress and the death of tho man. Tho girl comes to this country from France and falls In love with tho.brothcr of the wife of the man whose death sho Is supposed to have caused, 'but the tin-Ish of the play finds tangles unknotted and everything set to rights.

The play has been beautifully mounted and some of tho photographic shotB are particularly well done. A handsome dog adds to the Interest. Conwny Tearle has the role Of a writer, the man with whom the forbidden woman falls In love, Palace "The Lone Wolf's Baughter" has Louise Glaum in a role that holds the interest from start to finish of a thrilling story. She plays a dual part of a mother and daughter, differentiating each. J.

Parker Read has not had manr nroductions before the local screens In a long time, Nind this one was welcomed heartily Vance wrote the story, and it had all of the thrills found In his "Lone Wolf" 6crlcs. Mystery, and lots of it, form the background of a fast-moving play. It should be seen from tho very beginning in order not to miss the big interesting disclosure nt the end. Edwin Stevens has one of the best character studies of his career, while Louise Glaum was just right in her part. Thomas Holding, who has not appeared In movies for some time.

Is in the cast. Rartram Grasby is as tine a butler as the screen hns produced and looks not unlike the originator of the "Lone Wolf" character, Rert LytclU Arcadia "Two Weeks" presents that delightful actress, Constance Tal-madge. in the role of a chorus girl, and her characterization Is realistic. Some especially witty captions read like the work of Anita Loos. As to the story, it was written before "Three Wise Fools," and yet there Is a tnarlrd resemblance to that plot in part.

A young girl takes refuge in the home of three bachelors and, nfter winning them all over to her way of doing things dur ing her stay, is the cause of the rise of love Interest upon the part of tho youngest. 'A touch of the realistic marks the acting of Reginald, Masou as au inebriated wealthy man, and his part stood out with clearness. Conway Tearle has the role of an nuthbr, but different from the one In wiflch ho appears at the Stanley. Gcdrge Fawcctt was ideal as the second bachelor, while Templer Saxc completed tho trio, Constance Talmadge kept the audience In a merry mood throughout the time she was on the screen, nud there were only a few minutes when she was uof In tho center of 11. The settings nnd the careful direction were much appreciated.

Victoria "Heart Strings" is the at-traction, with William Farnum as the one who tightens them Vup with his emotional acting In this melodrama written bv Henry Albert Phillips. J. Gordon Edwards directed It, but it seems to lack his usual skill in this line. There-Is a touch of sadness to the play when the wronged heroine and the trusting brother of the girl learn of the villain work. William Tarnum Is a struggling musician In a Canadian town, who wants to go to Now "York to seek fortune as a composer.

He saves enough money, hut at the time of starting decides to give the money to. another to help him out of a difficulty. A benefactor in the town helps him, however, nt a later time because the latter hopes to become an Impresario. In the city the hero finds things are not what they should have been with his sister and the man supposed to have been married to her, and a big climax ensues. Too much slow tempo retards the unfolding of the tale, but otherwise it Is a typical Fox production.

Hetty Hllburn l. alatpr nnd Paul Cazeneuve and 0- Edwd9 hnvc nr'nnt Capitol "The Sporting brings memories of the Duchess" time not so long ago when this play was made by tho Lubin Co. A very good story then, modern wnvR of directing and the recasting of the play with Alice Joyce In the leading role, seem to confer on It a new guise. Cecil Raleigh and Henry Hamilton wrote the story. George Ter-wllllger directed nnd the Work is In falsely compromising tho duchess a Rrltlsh army officer causes a divorce as well as, bv demanding payment for notes, necessitates the sale of all her effects.

A celebrated horse Is offered at the auction. The villlan falls in his lies and In the end harmony reigns between husband nnd wife. Alice Joyce play' the role with feeling. Thrills are many. Regent "Out Yonder" Is the new starring vehicle of Olive Thomas.

This Selxnlck star has improved greatly with her newer productions and it will not be long before she will be able to portray a new type of girl. Now she is best In the little country girl chaructcr. Ralph ilnce made this production and his cars In tho matter of details Is worthy of special mention. As Flottfam, a girl of the lighthouse, Miss Thomas gives an lutepretatlou of varied emotions. Mary Coverdalfc Is good as tho actress who befriends her III her uuhnppy lovo affair.

John Smiley remembered for his work at Lubln'H, Is tho girl's father, while Cyril Chad-wick and Edward Ellis have the other roles. SITE FOR FACULTY HOUSE Archbishop Buys Property Next to West Phlla. Catholic High School As a site for a large faculty house for the teachers of the West Philadelphia Catholic High School for Hoys, Forty-ninth nnd Chestnut streets, nearly an entire block on tho south side of Market street west of Forty-ninth, has been purchased by Archbishop Dougherty. Tho property for fifty years has been occupied by the Robert Craig florists. It consists of a large office and residence, nnd a number of greenhouses.

The Craig company Is now moving to Norwood, whero it will have larger accommodations. Work on the new addition to the Catholic high, school will not bo started for sone time. The site adjoins the high school. SEEK CHOIR LEADER Edwin J. Bcherff Has Been' Mini.

Besides the comedian, tho performance serves to Introduco Alice Haucr and Hazel Lorraine, who are both possessed of voices which they use to good effect. A comely chorus aids the entertainment. Tr-ocadero "Midnight Maidens" Is a clever burletta supplied with pretty music, which includes some good Jazz.
