It is "Never Say Die," which was shown at the Karlton last night, and was adapted from a stage lay. There are many healthy laughs after the picture gets rightly started. The fun is created through the examination of a pessimistic youth by a lot of doctors who tell him he has but a short time to live.

So he goes about making preparations for a first-class funeral, but he beats them out, marries the sweetheart of his best friend so that the couple will inherit his fortune. When he fails to die on schedule time he agrees to a divorce and plants some evidence which provides still more fun, but he is really in love with his wife.

Sne has that graciousness seldom seen in an artist and further added to her popularity by several encores after a well selected programme at B. F. Keith's yesterday.

Her voice, while not the same as of yesteryear, has that sweetness of tone and range which delights. Her greatest number was the singing of the "Erlking," by Shubert, and on this selection especial credit must be given Miss Margo Hughes, her accompanist. Her playing of the most difficult passages of this work was a delight. Mme. Gadski's song from Tannhauser and her "Cradle Song" were two other favorites.

Second in honors on the programme are the Griffin Twins, clever juveniles, who have a remarkable grace and unison, in a series of really difficult dances. It is to be regretted that the opening number is not prolonged, even if it be to the curtailment of the gladiator steps. Another dancing number which is featured is that of Miss Grette Ardine, assisted by John Tyrell and Dave Kaye. There are some songs, too, but these are of no consequence. A.

Robins, an old favorite, with his musical imitations, and Davis and Darnell in "Caterpillars" are two other acts which pleased. Adelaide Herrmann has a series of illusions which are creditably done. Especially attractive is the final Noah's Ark scene, when an unbelievable number of ducks, geese, cats, dogs and other animals emerge from an apparently empty cabinet. Waring, a pianist; Lang and Haley, comedy duo; the Roulettes, acrobats, and the usual news and topical films and orchestral numbers complete the offering. REVUES TmTHuNORS ON EARLE PROGRAMME picture is the result.

Barrymore is, of course, the star, and well he plays his part. Even when he is overcome by remorse and finally ends hi life, after sending for those who have been wronged through his influence, he is always in the character of a domineering, strong-willed politician, who fears not even death. Miss Owen. Gaston Glass, Martin J. Faust and Flora Le Breton are important characters in the story.

There were several acts on the vaudeville portion of the bill which bad songs and comedy patter as their chief element, while others had dances added. One of the best of these was "A "Patched Vodvil Quilt" in which La- posediy Deing Kinea in oaiue ana me girl shutting herself from the world in a convent, is too well known to need further comment at this time. "Love and Glory" at Alhambra A double bill of "Love and Glory," an adaptation of the novel, "We Are French," and the Jack Dempsey serial, "Bring Him In," provided diverting entertainment for the audiences at the Alhambra last night.

World's Dispensary Medical N. Y. called Blunders, which was highly storv is interpreted by Adolphe Alen A man, a woman and a career start the matrimonial argument in "Married Flirts," showing this week at the Stanley. Nelly Wayne, played by Pauline Frederick, fails to charm her husband, Pen. played by Huntly Gordon.

She loses her attractive ways because she is so interested in writing a new book. Pen tries to find a new romance Jill, played by Mae Busch. Jill is a clever and up-to-date- young woman, who wants to marry Perley Rex. por-traved by Conrad Nagel. Jill uses Pen to make Rex jealous, but in doing this she causes the divorce of Nelly and Pen.

She tells Nell that a woman who can't hold a husband deserves to lose him. Two years later Nell, Jill and Rex meet in France. Nell has become a brilliant and famous author and Jill and Rex are happily married. Nell's novel is to be filmed and she leaves for America to select the cast. On the steamer homeward bound Rex is fascinated by Nell and Jill finds she is losing him.

At home again, Nell plays the game to win Jill's husband, but she does it only to teach Jill a lesson. She has the complete satisfaction of turning the tables on her former rival, but it all ends well for everybody. The picture is not true to the life in which most of us move and live and have our being. "Married Flirts" is artificial and, fortunately, unlike the real men and women of America. Pauline Frederick as the wife is not convincing, but as Mrs.

Paramor, the author, she gives a thoughtful personification to the character of the worldly woman. Mae Busch did some clever acting as the up-to-date young woman, and Conrad Nagel gives an exact impression of an idle modern young man. The supper scene, in which many famous screen stars appear, is most interesting. Bigger and better than ever, the Glee Club of the University of Pennsylvania, directed by Dr. II.

A. Matthews, made the great spaces of the Stanley ring with their strong young voices. They put jov and the spirit of youth in "Old Man Noah" and won great applause with that fine marching song, "Loyal Sons of Penn." The glee club is an honor to the city and State. Boys, we are proud of you! Ben Turpin. in "The Reel Vircinian," is good for many laughs.

The organ solo and the Stanley Magazine are both entertaining. "THREE WOMEN" SHOWN Mother Who Didn't Want to Grow Old In Palace Feature "Three Women," an Ernest Lnbitsch production, was the feature at the Palace last night. Its underlying motive seemed to be a woman who just hated amusing; Gary and Baldi in "The Chauffeur and the Maid" sang and made comedy observations, while the McKenna jou, Betty Compson, EUliott Dexter, Zazu Pitts and others. "His First Car," a comedy with Al St. John, was Trio, two girls and a boy, exhibited lots an added attraction.

One Thin Woman Gained 10 Pounds in 22 Days Dancers Feature Orpheum Bill Elizabeth Brown and Sedano in a Railroad Glee Club Also Out-shadow Vaudeville Acts This Week This is "Sousa Festival Week" at ttc Fox, and last night the great march king himself, Lieutenant-Commander John Philip Sousa, was the concert master, leading the Fox Theatre Orchestra in the rendition of several of his own scores.

The musical programme, which is grouped about-the work of the great band master, is of high merit. The orchestra played the Festival Overture, arranged by Frank Black from a number of the popular Sousa melodies. Helen Buchanan Hitner sang "The Serenade in Seville," and then lithe, graceful Bobbie Tremaine and her "gang," the Fox Ballet Corps, danced to the strains of the Sousa "Jack Tar" march. There was an euphonium solo by Joseph De Luca, a member of the Sousa Band, and the concluding number of the immediate Sousa programme was a scenic fan-tasie, while the orchestra played the Stars and Stripes Forever. It is indeed fortunate that the merit of the programme does not hinge upon the feature picture, which is a travesty on all of the old "deus ex machina" devices which the screen has long since outgrown.

Lou Tellagen and Patsy Ruth Miller are among the notable stars who 'are crucified to produce the picture at least, their art is crucified. It is entitled "The Breath of Scandal" an odoriferous christening to start with. Charles Hale, played by the temperamental Lou, is married to Betty Blythe. who is a "club" woman. She forgets her home and her husband and her child.

The object of the play is to smash these utterably, and then restore them at the fade-out. That it does is no tribute to its artistry. Lou gets tangled up with a woman who loves him her husband shoots him a rising young district attorney breaks the villain's neck saves Lou's reputation, and then marries his daughter. That is the "Breath of Scandal." Re-quiescat in pace! Comedy reels and the Fox Theatre Magazine news pictures complete the programme. "VANITY'S PRICE" Another of Those Revivicatlon Stories at Arcadia "Only" an Anna Q.

Nilsson could play the difficult role of "Vanna de Maurier" in' the photodrama entitled "Vanity's Price," which had its first showing yesterday at the Arcadia Theatre. The sparkling Swedish actress, with all her beauty and charm of youth and marked ability for "acting is peculiarly fitted for- this part. The story in which she has the chief role is one of revivica-tipn, with the scenes divided between Vienna and America. In a Tole of tliis character, which calls first for age and then beauty; make-up will accomplish the former, but it will never entirely bring about the latter, at least to the satisfaction of the The cast which supports the star also shows that the directors were careful in their selection. It is difficult to choose between Arthur Rankin.

Wynd-ham Standing, Stuart Holmes, Robert Bolder. Cissy Fitzgerald and Lucille Rickson. Based on a sound and sensible, moral. "Vanity's Price" should be a picture pleasing to all. There can be no qnestion of lack of interest, for the theme of rejuvenation is one of the latest discoveries of science.

The story deals with the ambitions of a great actress, who has a grown son, but whose desire to retain her youth predominates all her finer instincts. Love Story" in Five Houses -i Gloria Swaason in the costume drama, "Her Love Story," was the dancing feature called "Dances Mod-ernes et Classique" headed the bill at the Orpheum last night and scored a decided hit which was deserved, for both are graceful and artistic stenners. The real scream of the show was Bill Robinson, the colored comedian and Skinny Men Can Do the Same dancer, who did things exclusively original with him.

Hreunan cottage In Tennessee Mountains. Act II. exterior of cottage. From a dancing standpoint, and also the possession of a rather novel plot for a musical comedy, "Be Yourself" can be classed as distinctly enjoyable. There is just a bit of every kind of dancing, ensemble, solo and otherwise, and all of it is good.

The songs, credited by the programme to several writers have escaped to a certain degree the oft-found similarity and add a bit. of spice to the production. The plot concerns itself with the Tennessee mountains and the usual feud between the clans of Brennan and McLean. A New Yorker arrives and is discovered to be a missing McLean. He is sheltered by the Brennans and the feud threatens to break anew momentarily, but at last is solved by love and the vivid imagination of the authors.

The whole is fantastic, bordering sometimes on burlesque, but provides a background to introduce the variety of comedy at which Queenie Smith and Jack Donahue have won their laurels. Donahue's dancing is quite a bit better than ever before. He added many new numbers. Little Miss Smith displays a skill which seems bridge the gulf between real jazz stepping and the classical. Her bit of toe dancing was excellent, as was also her other numbers.

Donahue is funny and equipped with just enough business and lines to make it the outstanding part. Georgian Caine also is pleasing as Grandma. She stiil sings well. Norma Terris and John Price Jones are two singers who do well, and the dancing of the former is pretty, although rather brief. Percy Baverstock, as the English gentleman of leisure, is to be praised.

The remainder of the cast is acceptable, though having little to do. The chorus 'dances as well as any seen and there are several familiar faces, as witness Miss Maude Lydiate, the dancer of the "Gingham Girl" of last season. "Little Bit of This," "Can't You See I'm in Love" and "Uh-Uh" are the three outstanding songs. The piece is well mounted, the second setting being in excellent keeping with the locale of the play. The whole is engrossing.

ON VIEW AT GLOBE Group cf Inviting Vaudeville Acts and Pictures This Week One of the leading attractions of the vaudeville bill at the Globe yesterday was Raymond's Bohemians, with the Gordon Sisters in a potpourri of songs end graceful dances, all well done and quite entertaining. Benson and Massimo, assisted by Kathryn McLaughlin, were seen in a unique aerohjitic and pantomimic gymnastic act, and Dorothy Talor and company provided a variety of songs, loth jazz and sentimental. Don Romaine, assisted by William Castle at the piano, offered a group of humorous songs with harmonizing patter. Romaine has a splendid voice which he used to advantage. "Bound for Nowhere" is the title of a breezy little sketch which afforded Lester and Stewart opportunities for disclosing their frn-making and dancing abilities, while the Duponts combined fun with skill in their juggling act called; "A Study in Nonsense." The film adaptation of the Rex Beach story, "The Recoil," which is replete with stirring and at times exciting situations, was the screen offering.

Betty Blythe and Mahlon Hamilton headed the cast. Incidentally, a number of beautiful women took part in some of the scenes. ton and Allen, who are versatile entertainers, and the photoplay "Daughters of Pleasure" were other attractions which found much favor. AH weak men and women. All nervous men and women.

All skinny men and women Can grow stronger, healthier and take on weight "Little Revue" at the Cross Keys One of the principal offerings at the Cross Keys last night was "The Little Revue," in which Jay Dillon and Betty Parker displayed, their cleverness in songs, dances and fun. It was in eight scenes. Lazar and Dale furnished fun in "The Bagooma Hunters." a blackface funfest; La Coste and Bona- Two revues of rather unusual merit head the bill at the Earle this week, the first of them being known asythe J. Francis Haney Revue. Helen Stewart and the Four Johnnies are the artists extraordinary of the act, their chief forte being dancing of all kinds, but all equally graceful.

The other bid for first honors is made by the Giersdorf Sisters and Company versatility being the principal characteristic. The sisters, Irene, Elvira and Rae are fine entertainers, and no more need be said. The Pennsylvania Railroad Glee Club is another one of the star acts on the programme forty melodious voices rendering a series of old songs which found their way right into the heart of the audience. The comedians were the most ineffectual part of the programme, Harry Rose, traveling under the sobriquet, "The Broadway Jester," made a series of heroic effort to be funny, but failed miserably. Frank Rose and Olive Thorne were a great deal better Olive's interpretation of the giggling Scandinavian lady being one or the comedy hits of the afternoon.

Robey and Gould may be covered quite adequately by the cognomen "just comedians, that's all." The McGood Lenzen Company of acrobats are great, and their skill has advanced to such a degree that we in "A Dog's Life," added more mer- in SO days by just taking McCoy's Cod Liver Oil Tablets four times a day as easy to take as candy.

"The Gaiety Girl," starring Mary Philbin, were other attractions.

"The Kandy Kids" at Trocadero With a galaxy of expert comedians, dancers and singers, it was not sur to grow old Decause sne reaiizea mai. she was slipping in the love of a former sweetheart who had transferred his affections to her daughter. There is a struggle between mother and daughter which is somewhat vague and shows the pruning process of the censors to the detriment of the objective solution, and makes the picture almost ribald melodrama instead of sophisticated drama. It is a story of one man and three' women with mother and daughter prominently disclosed. The man transfers his affections as easily as the wind changes its direction.

The man has been in love, presumably, at least, with a middle-aged widow, but realizing that time has wrought it8 havoc, he turns to the daughter, and isn't a bit selfish in his distributions of affection "The Haunted House," a farce in three arts by Owen Davis, produced for the first time in this city last right at the Broad Street Theatre with "Wallace Eddinger.

Act I. Sunset. Act II.

Act III. Dawn. Theatrical productions that have appeared in this city recently hare really been very disappointing and disconcerting to old-fashioned critics, who only by rinding fault were able to display, at least to their own satisfaction, their superiority to the playwrights. "The Haunted House," the latest product of the indefatigable Owen Davis, which was given here last evening, was no exception to this rule for really nothing but praise should be bestowed upon it, as well as the star, Wallace Eddinger, and a capable surrounding company. Of course, as usual, Mr.

Davis is a playwright who never deserts approved forms, but then is it fair to Bit for several hours and get twice as many thrills and even a greater number of laughs, than were promised and. after regaining one gravity to calmly pick the source of entertainment to pieces. If it is not fair we will not do it and certainly there was no one noticed at the Broad Street who did not $eem to be securing plenty of enjoyment. "While having a background of a murder mystery, at least so it appears for time, the farce is really a travesty on all of the many mystery plays that have appeared for several years and at the same time laughable "falls' are taken out of psychoanalysis, complexes Freudian theories and the like. Some time during the etory one thinks of Mr.

Owen's "The Nervous Wreck." at other times of the "Seven Keys" to baldpate. but so many successes have been mixed in this porridge of fun that it is useless to trace further. Any way it is good fun and since, unlike other authors of mysteries, Mr. Davis has given permission to explode his bubble, let it be confessed that after all no harm is done to any one except the old cow. Nellie.

To Mr. Eddinger falls the task of keeping the fun alive and at the same time keeping some illusion of mystery and in this task he succeeds as he does with nearly all he attempts, admirably. Unquestionably one of the best farcical comedians of the present time, he fully lives up to his own standard in "The Haunred House." His lines in explanation of his psychoanalysis are often very funny and we liked the one where he explained a theft's adding a bottle of milk to his plunder of rich furs and other apparel by saying, "No doubt in his childhood Fome one deprived him of his milk." The supporting company are all very good, but if special mention must be made. Helen Baxter as the Girl, deserves a place as does also John Irvin the Tramp and Mayo Methot as the Bride. Frank Monroe made the most of the small part of the Father.

'SALLY, IRENE AND MARY' Popular Musical Show Brought to the Forrest This Week "Sally, Irene and Mary," the amusing musical show which last season found immense favor at the Lyric, began a brief engagement at the Forrest last night. It is practically the same entertainment as before and very few changes have been made in the cast. Eddie Dowling again scored in his presentation of Jimmy Dugan, the childhood playmate of the three girls who left their East Side home to make names for themselves on the stage, and who later marries Mary, while Irene and Sally also find their mates and a triple wedding takes place at 'The Little Church Around the Corner." During the nine scenes of the two acts there is a continuous flow of mirth and melody. The role of Mary is this time interpreted by Florence Rayfield, who gives it much charm and who discloses a sweet voice in the numbers she is gaged in. Louise Brown again scored as Sally and Kathleen Mulqueen was the Irene.

The chorus as well as the numerous other principals, not forgetting the good old-timers, aided in again making a big success of the piece. "Tarnish" at the Desmond A presentation of "Tarnish" was giv-n at the Desmond last night by Mae Desmond and Her Players. It seems superfluous to dwell upon the story of the romance of a young couple which was almost spoiled through a manicurist and the father of the girl, the latter one of those impressionable popple who is so sentimentally inclined that he falls an easy prey to the wiles of the girl because of her tearful story of impending eviction from her apartments and lack of food. It has a general appeal and is quite entertaining as well as dramatic. The resident company gave a carefully studied and convincing interpretation of the various characters involved, and the settings were of the H6ual artistic kind.

Hampden Returning In Cyrano Every known synonym of praise In the English language has been lavishly bestoivd upon Walter Hampden and his magnificently presented de Iiergerac" by a unanimous American press. Mr. Hampden was in Philadelphia less than a month ago and gave expression and color to this masterful creation of Rostand. The united city press acclaimed it as the dominating dramatic event of a season liberally endowed with pretentious offerings, but owing to complicated booking arrangements in the local theatres, he could only be with us for one week; but the avalanche of requests for a return engagement was so insistent that the local managers consummated an arrangement whereby the stage of the Shubert Theatre could be secured for Mr. Hampden for one week, commencing next Monday the 8th, thus allowing delinquent patrons an opportunity to witness what is acknowledged to he the most significant dramatic contribution prising that "The Kandy Kids" caught the fancy of the audience at the Trocadero, last night.

The show fairly bubbles with amusing and melodic entertainment, and there is a nimble and prepossessing chorus which, after all, is one of the great adjuncts of any burlesque show.

The Bill at William Penn Heading the interesting programme at the William Penn last night was "Vacation Days," which recalled some of our pranks during the days when we were going to the little old red school house.

"Janice Meredith." continues a po tent offering at the Aldine, with pretty feature last night in the Ambassador, Benn, Colonial, Sixty-ninth Street and Strand Theatres. The story of the romance of the Princess and the Captain of the Guards, and the later banishment of the woman who has become the wife of the King and confesses that her offspring is the child of the soldier, has been told in these columns. It is an appealing one and quite full of suspense.

Miss Swanson is convincing in the dual role and the other characters are well done. Some gorgeous costumes and regal settings are shown. George and Normandie in a skit called Marion Davies in the title part, which, by the way, she interprets with a charm and artistry that is refreshingly enjoyable. There are many notable scenes If You Need a Medicine Ycu Should Have the Best of Revolutionary days in the unfolding "Two Bits, and the Herberts, comedy gymnasts who do unusual stunts, were other vaudeville features. The photoplay was "Daddies," with Mae Marsh and Claude Gillingwater in leading roles.

by bestowing some of it on a third person. Lew Cody, who is one of the most gracious screen villains of the day, is the man in the case, and Pauline Frederick, who looks the part, is the widow. May McAvoy is the daughter and Marie Prevost the third party. "Cornered" at the Victoria The film version of Madge Kennedy's delightful comedy, "Cornered," was the headline attraction at the Victoria last night. It unfolds the story of the close resemblance of a girl of the slums, Mary Brennan, to a young heiress and society woman of the name of Margaret Waring.

Mary concludes that inasmuch as Miss Waring is away from her luxurious home there would be no objection to her appearing on the scene as the real Miss Waring. She. was getting along swimmingly, having young men at her beck and call and indulging in luxuries which were new to her. But one day Miss Waring unexpectedly returned home which put Mary in a none too enviable position. Just how she manages to square herself and get out of the complications is told in a breezy, entertaining and amusing way.

Marie Prevost plays' the dual role of the two young women with much vivacity and charm and others in the cast include Cissy Fitzgerald, RockcUffe Fellowes, Raymond Hatton, Wilfred Lucas, John Roche and Vera Lewis. A special added attraction was the Jack Dempsey serial entitled "Town Hall Tonight," which showed that-the of the romance, the picture as a whole being one of the outstanding productions of the season thus far.
