Suffragists Drop Non Partisanship Plank in Platform Women May Now Join Political Parties and Run for Office EnrolmentEncouraged AH Members Urged to Be? come Affiliated With Organ? ization of Their Choice The Woman Suffrage party of New York City has dropped tho non-parti? sanship plank in its platform and mem? bers and officers of the organization are now free to run for Governor or Senator as often and as far as they like. This action was taken at a stormy meeting of the city committee of the party Isold yesterday morning at tho headquarters, ut A F.ust Thirty-eighth Street. "Boss" Mary Garrett Hay and Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt. president of the National American Woman Suffrage Association, camo up from Washington, where they have been working for th? Federal suffrage amendment, and every borough offi? cial and election district captain was on hand to vote on this most impor? tant action the suffragists have taken since Election Day.

The new policy encourages eveTy in? dividual in the organization to enroll in the political party of her choice on May IS, which is a special enrolment day for women voters. According to the original platform of the party, in? dividual meinbers were permitted to join political pities, but officials weTe obliged to remain non-partisan. In the future the organization will retain its rion-partisnn policy as re cards the education of women voters, in spite of the fact that individual officers will espouse particular political faiths. "Some people cannot understand how we can be non-partisan in policy and still permit our officers, leaders and captains to hold office in political par? ties," said Miss Hay after the meeting, "but actually there is a difference in this respect between individuals and societies. An individual may be very partisan, but an organization that hopes to retain as members Republi? cans, Democrats, Prohibitionists and Socialists must have a non-partisan policy and must deal with broad ques? tions like education or those involving humanitarian principles "We who have worked for suffrage do not wish' the enfranchised women of the city to go off by themselves politically, but to join with the men and help in the political organizations.

The time has now come to advise out women and all women to enroll for the primaries as good citizens should, and if they are called upon by the men to take office in the parties to serve them faithfully and well. "This they can do while retaining their membership in the great civic and educational organization that the Woman Suffrage party has now be? come." era "I Puritani," it was announced at the Metropolitan Opera House last evening, will be sung next Saturday afternoon instead of the double bill, "Le Coq d'Or" and "Cavalleria Rusti? cana," owing to the illness of Miss Ro sina Galli, who plays the important pantomime role in the Russian opera pantomime. The cast of "I Puritani" will include Mmes. Barrientos and Perini and Messrs. de Luca, Mardones, Rossi and Reschiglian.

Mr. Moranzoni will conduct. "Le Coq d'Or" and "Cavalleria Rus? ticana" will be given at the Saturday matinee of the following week. "Maytime" Moves to the Broadhurst Theatre The 275th performance of "Maytime" was celebrated last' night when it moved from the Forty-fourth Street Theatre to the Broadhurst. The play had its premiere at the Shubert Theatre on August 16.

When it was first decided to move "Maytime" from the Shubert Theatre, the Broadhurst was selected as the most suitable playhouse, but at that time the Broadhurst was not available, so it was temporarily accom? modated at the Forty-fourth Street. "Shis charming musical romance will now remain at the Broadhurst until the end of the season, with the original cast, including Charles Purcell, Peggy Wood and William Norris. Mrs. Whitney Sabin Becomes The Bride of Dexter Blagden Mrs. Whitney Sabin, of 38 East For? tieth Street, was married yesterday morning in Grace Church to Dexter Blagden, son of Mrs.

Qp The Drama Handsome New Theatre Opens With Artificial and Dull Play "The Fountain of Youth," a com? edy by Louis Evans Shipman, at the Henry Miller Theatre. With Henry Miller. Presented by Henry Miller. THE CAST Geralil Miller Lojigilon Train Kcmblo Cooper Jack KorsyMie Amen Kenneth Guile Leslie Austen arrisen Hciiluy Sylvester CrocltuU Bealey i Mrs. Korsylho Wataon Mrs.

I.upin I Hilda I'ocsytlie. Koiublo Cooper! KuMboUt Criohton Tell I By Heywood Broun Henry Miller opened a new theatre last night with a new play, and at the end of tbo third act he said, "I'm going to do my best, because I'm not great enough to atford not to." Thus the new venture begins in the right spirit. It is an excellent thing for New York that Henry Miller should have his own theatre, for he is a good actor and a conscientious one. His theatre, tho i Henry Miller, is a delight, if you don't mind the curtain too much. The smok? ing room is certainly tho finest in town.

Tue new play, which is called "Tho Fountain of Youth," does not rank so high. It is a poor piece of work throughout. Louis Evan Shipman has endeavored to create an atmosphere of mellow gayety. Instead, he gains tho effect of a middle-aged Methodist min? ister making his first address to the young men of the Boys' Club down in the church gymnasium. He attempts to slap his audience oh the back, but his hand is so heavy that the only re? action is "Ouch!" The play tells the story of a man of forty-odd who comes back from Zan? zibar seeking to recover lost illusions and finds them by falling in love with a young girl.

He falls in love early in the second act, but naturally he does not win her until two and a half sec? onds before the final curtain falls. His success came just in time. Ho was booked to sail back to Zanzibar at 8:30 the next morning. Undoubtedly the passage money was refunded. Clerks in the New York office of the steam? ship line which runs to Zanzibar have learned to be more than doubtful about the men who are going back there to forget.

The head clerk tells me that they never sail. The heroine always appears in time. In fact, he says that the line loses passengers every month who are dragged right off the gang? plank as the whistle is blowing. But then, as he explains, the line doesn't mind veTy much. They make almost all their money out of the freight, any? how.

The hero, who was going to sail back to Zanzibar, did not understand Neither did the heroine. He misin? terpreted something that she said and she didn't quite get the drift of one of his remarks. Our friend the Zan? zibar clerk says that is the story that I he always hears when the hero to the office to get the passage money back. "If people would only just talk out frankly and say 'I love you' or 'I don't love it would save us a lot of trouble down here in the office," the clerk told us. "This business of 'some day there is something I want you to know' is always I believe in putting everything straight in the beginning.

-When anybody wants a'stateroom, for instance, I get out the chart and show them just where it is and then there can't be any mistake." However, there is a good deal of dif? ference between selling steamship tick? ets and writing there not? Mr. Shipman was able to do a whole last act around the explanations cre? ated by the misunderstandings in the second act. The one novel touch in the play is in a brief scene in which the middle-aged man is stirred to hope, for success by the outspoken jealousy of a rival who is twenty years his junior. Not enough was made of this possibil? ity. For the rest, the play was abso? lutely conventional in story and stilted in dialogue.

The strain for epigrams was terrific. Most were written around the formula of paraphrasing some of the better known passages in "Bart lett's Familiar Quotations." Since the material was so inadequate it may be unfair to judge the acting over severely. And yet it seems just to say that Henry Miller badly cast in a light comedy role. Mr. Mil? ler can be angry and exalted and grim and passionate and many other things, but he cannot.be coy.

At least, no place but in his own theatre. In an to be light he became poisonously artificial. He used a falsetto for some points and also relied frequently upon a fake laugh most gloom compelling in its effect. All 'the actors were upset again and again by jumping heavily upon lines which promptly broke be? neath their weight and sent them sprawling. At no moment, however, did the arti? ficiality of the play shriek aloud to such an extent as in some hrief snatches where the characters were al? lowed to all talk at once, just as in real life.

These were scenes around the tea table, with "No cream for me" mingling with "Two lumps, please," and "A slice of lemon." They stood out like trenches in Central Park. Lucile Watson played with her ac? customed authority. Olive Tell looked exceedingly pretty once she had gone through two unbecoming hats. She played moderately well in spite of the fact that she has begun to do things with her eyes. Frank Sylvester did a good deal with the part of a theatrical manager which offered him little good material.

A young actress named Lil? lian Kemble Cooper was charming in a short part. Frank Kemble Cooper, an excellent actor, was thrown away on a colorless part. Palace Mass Meeting For the Liberty Loan E. F. Albee, as chairman of the The? atrical Allied Amusement Committee of the Liberty Loan Committee, has ar? ranged an interesting programme in connection with the work of organiza? tion which is the purpose of a large mass meeting at the Palace Theatre at 11 o'cloek this morning.

There Will be music by the massed orchestras of the theatres and speaking by Thomas W. Lamont, of the firm of J. P. Mor I gan Co; Colonel J. F.

There will be present the leading men and women of grand opera, the legitimate stage, vaudeville, burlesquq, the motion pict ure world, the circus and other amuse ments. Committees will be appointed and the work of organization perfected, in or? der that in the next drive the great power and influence of the show busi? ness may be wielded as a unit to fur? ther the sale of bonds.

"The Rainbow Girl" Has All the Primary Hues That Dazzle "The Rainbow Girl," a musical play in three acts and four scenes, with book and lyrics by Rennold 'Wolf, founded upon a comedy by Jerome K.

After running six weeks in Bos? ton it was found too good, apparently, to be kept away any longer from New York, i The play breaks away happily -from custom of two long acts for musi-j cal productions. the thirsty sea son ahead, three intermissions are auspiciously afforded between the scenes, two of which come in the first i act. The sets, which are by Joseph Urban, are pleasing and harmonious, with toothing garish about them, and among the other outstanding features which make for the success of "The Rainbow Girl" are the effectiveness of the plot, humor of the lines and situ-: ations, spontaneity of the dances and the impelling rhythm and excellent orchestration of the music. To sketch the main situation is suf? ficient to indicate the plot.

Mollie Murdock, of "The Rainbow Girl" at the Frivolity Theatre, in London, ha? married Robert Dudley, without know? ing that he is Lord Wetherell. Her surprise upon learning that ho is a peer, is not as a joy quite unalloyed, for twelve servants at Wetherell Hall are members of her own family, from whose tyranny she ran away to go on tho stage. The head of the Bennett family, who is butler at the hall, is indeed a for- i midable person. His very strut is enough to cow inferiors and de? pendants, if not instil a wholesome respect into the bosoms of his em nloyers. The part was a fat one for Sydney Groenstreot, who played it capitally.

The Frivolity Theatre af? forded an effective character part in Buck Evans, comedian, who came to Wetherill Hall to pose as a bishop and uncle of Miss Murdock to enhance her standinc with tho irentrv. The was conceived in the broadest manner, and carried off by Billy B. Van with'his customary verve. The principals. Berth Lvdy and Harry Bcntham, won honors with exception- al'y pood singing.

Miss part offered an opportunity for the display of her talents as an actress. Of the Bennett family, Ernest, a footman, an.l Jane, a housemaid, played by Harry Delf and Lenora Novasio, distineuish ed themselves by antics that afforded the audience a large share of genuine en.ioyment. Among the more melodious and catchy songs were "Just You Alone," "My Rainbow Girl" and "Love's Ever New." all duets by Mr. Bentham and Miss Lydy. I On the Screen "The'Family Skeleton," which is be? ing presented at the Rialto this week, has two things in it which ought to insure its success.

One is a real sur? prise for the climax and the other is presence of Charlie Ray. As to the surprise, every one may not agree with us. Having seen a million films, more or less, in th? last two years, we still find at times that we are lamentably lacking in perspicacity. We haven't that thing known as a movie mind. But then our favorite dramatic critic once confessed that he never knew who was going to marry who until the final fadeaway.

But every one will agree in regard to Ray. No one can see him on the screen without feeling thankful that he is not that gem of purest ray serene which dwells in dark, unfathomed caves. "The Family Skeleton" needs him. Charlie has a dressed up part for a change, and it is good to see him in a Palm Beach suit (without a belt). Ray is Billy Bates, a young man who be? lieves that he has inherited a tendency to drink, and so he tries to reach his ultimate destination as quickly as pos? sible and get it over with.

Only Poppy Drayton believes in him and objects to that particular kind of vandalism. So she sets out to reform him and she is wise in her generation. She appeals to the only sense which one can always be sure that every man Billy Elmer assists materially in making the picture interesting because he is, so ugly as Spider Doyle, and Sylvia Bremer assists to the same ex- tent because she is so lovely as Poppy, The "family skeleton" rattles away in his most terrifying manner, but he finally succeeds only in ringing the wedding bells. Toto, the clown, appeared in a new comedy called "Fare, Please," and it was only that. The overture is Flotow's "Alessandro Stradella." Helena Morrill ninna Mia," from "The Firefly," and Greek Evans contributed "The King of the Vikings Am 11.

U. Music Sascha Jacobsen at Aeolian Hall last night discoursed most excellent music in the Vivaldi and Bruch violin con- certos, and some by no means so ex? cellent in Cyril Scott's "atmospheric" suite of the Tallahassee. But whether good or bad, he did extremely well by it, playing with a spirit, a facility, a purity alike of tone and of style not; often heard in young violinists. His; 'iouble stopping and dedicate spiceato work were particularly admirable. As for the Scott suite, it was worth hear? ing if only to prove that clever young? sters in England are still imitating, and very closely and consciously, it would seem, the American MacDowell.

Farming's Best Fun on Earth, I Says Schoolboy Who Knows Tom Whitlock, Who Worked Three Months Last Summer Up in Madison County, Urges Schoolmates to "Go After That Country Cooking" "Farming's the best fun on earth, and, oh, you country cookingl" This is the credo of seventeen-year old Tom Whitlock, of 448 East Twenty sixth Street, Brooklyn, regarding sum- mer farming for high school boys, and Tom speaks from experience, for he worked three months last summer for Frank A. Wagner, a farmer of Madi? son County, and at tho end of that time was pronounced a regular farmer. And to prove that he thinks farm? ing is 'the best fun on earth, Tom is going up to the Wagner farm again this year, and after that he is plan? ning to enter Cornell and learn to be an "agriculturist." Speeds Up Work Tom went up to 'Mr. Wagner last year green with the verdure of city boy who had lived in New York all bit life. He was pu't to work with a half breed Indian "hand" at his first job of dropping potatoes.

Frank, the hand, had been used to taking his work in a leisurely fashion, but when this city fellow began dropping slices of pota? toes in the ground like a house afire Frank, too, began to move along the field in unaccustomed haste. Thfi strain imposed by the green hand proved too much for the ease-lovins Frank in the end, however, and so thin I year Frank will hot return to Farmer Wagner, though Tom will. For a while Mr. Wagner feared that he might by some chance draw one of the other 19,999 boys that the New Yprk State Boys' Working Reserve is sending al over tho state, and so he wrote a letter. "Be sure to send Tom," he asked the authorities.

"I think the Reserve is a great scheme, tut maybe I just think so because I got such a good boy. Tom' is the best hand I ever had." Tom, the hand, is still Tom, the city school boy, but ne will leave Erasmus Hall High School, Brooklyn, in a few weeks now for planting up at Wagner's farm. "Great Stuff," Says Tom "It's really great stuff, you know," he said yesterday. "Haying is real sport, and milking is fun. The only thing I hated was setting cabbages, and if you know of anybody who want! to break his back, tell him to set cab? bages for a day or two.

And, oh, you country cooking! Pancakes for break? fast, fresh vegetables, fruit from thfa trees on the place, young chickens. "What did I do at nights? Went tc bed. Up at 5, you know. The folks couldn't understand why 1 wouldn't go to ice cream sociables anc the circus when it came to town, hu? any city fellow could understand why preferred to turn in, lie there for a fev minutes sniffing the sweet hay smell and then drop off. Great stuff!" Plays and Players The first performance of "An Ameri? can Ace," A.

H. Woods's new patriotic war melodrama, will bo given at the Casino Theatre to-night. The curtain will rise promptly at 8:20. Owing to the fact that Lillian Lor? raine is compelled to carry out her contract with Jack Norworth and ap? pear with him as co-star of "Odds and Ends," it will be impossible for Miss Lorraine to open on the Century Roof as announced. The report has been circulated that owing to the drafting of Frank Con roy the Greenwich Village Players will suspend their activities, but the an? nouncement was made at the theatre last night that he would not be called until after the end of the theatrical season.

MISS MAUDE L. O'BRIEN Photo by Aim? Dupont. Miss O'Brien, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Morgan J.

O'Brien, will be married to Lieutenant Pierce H. Butler, son of James Butler, next Saturday morning, in St. Vincent Ferrer's Church, Sixty-seventh Street, between Lexington and Third Ave? nues. Owing to the recefrfc death of John Crimmins, an uncle of the bride, the wedding will be small and quiet, and there will be no reception. Thrift Stamp Artillery Wipes Out Metropolitan Opera House Salient A special committee of society women, working for the cause of war savings stamps, invaded the Metropolitan Opera House last night and boomed he sale of Uncle Sam's thrift coupons imong those who went there to hear Caruso and Mme.

Muzio sing in "Lc This W. S. S. committee will be on hand at evory performance in the opera house this week. Special permission has been given the committee to sell stamps in the Metropolitan by Impres sario Giulio Gatti-Casazza.

The Met? ropolitan's general manager gladly consented to do this in order to help the sale of war stamps. It is expected that the opera throngs will be generous in their purchases. Mrs. William Hays' is manag? ing the staff of opera workers, which includes Mrs. David Balch, Mrs.

Schuy ler Imbrie, Mrs. M. N. Blakemore, the Misses Helen Gould, Frances Mills, Marjorie Eggleston, Pauline Morgan, C. Waterman, Louise Butler and Ethel Rose.

Among the purchasers at last night's performance was Mrs. Constant J. Sperco, Caruso's secretary. She took $100 worth of thrift stamps, and prom ised that the great tenor himself would purchase considerable quan? tity shortly. Workers Mach Pleased There was joy in the W.

S. S. head? quarters, 51 Chambers Street, when word came -there yesterday that the Metropolitan had opened its doors to the war workers. The publicity office sent out this bulletin: "Alas, for the' Metropolitan Opera 'House! From an exclusive shrine at whose musical altar only the patrons of Orpheus worshipped, it is passing through all the stages of democratic awakening. A thrift concert, dedicated to making the world safe for democ? racy but recently shook its walls; Harry Lauder vill send a message from its platform a few weeks hence, and the movies threaten to take possession any day.

And in the meantime, irre? sistible young society women hover about the lobbies, urging the opera goers to buy war savings stamps lor the sake of their sons and brothers who are attending the greater theatre of war in France." It is also announced that the various woman committees working for the W. S. S. folk are concentrating on a big drive this week. Brooklyn women are also working hard for- the stamp sale this week.

Sun. Evs), 25c to NINETEEN MONTHS AGO 1 D. W. Griffith set foot on the shores of France and prepared to take the first scenes of his latest and greatest production, fc "HEARTS OF THE WORLD." Aided by the officials of the British and the French armies, Mr. GrifHth, his camera man, his assistants, and his players, moved forward until within actual sound of the roaring of guns and the bursting of shells.

Here, with grim war as a background, Mr. Griffith began the filming of the sweetest LOVE story ever told. Here, with death on every side and destruction in the air, Mr. Griffith unfolded upon the screen the eternal and never-dying story of a great love which could not be destroyed. Mr, Griffith, with the ingenuity and genius of the greatest master director in the world, utilized the wonderful pictorial back- ground of the Great War as a scenic setting for his drama of LOVE.

Here were real trenches, real battles; real war scenes, taken amid the lire and smoke of conflict; here were no moving picture "supers," such as one sees in a studio picture, but real, flesh and blood, soldiers of France, of England, lighting with their last drop of blood in defense of civilization; the only "supers" used were German soldiers, prisoners of war, filmed back of the firing line, tickled to death they were in such good hands with D. W. Griffith to direct them. This superb and magnificent production, Mr. Griffith's great- est achievement, will be shown at the Forty-fourth Street Theatre beginning FRIDAY NIGHT, APRIL Sth.

A private invitation presentation for officers of the United States and the Allied Armies will take place on Thursday night, April 4th, but NO TICKETS WILL BE SOLD FOR THAT PRIVATE SHOWING. The sale of seats to the general public begins TODAY (TUES- DAY) MORNING at 9. Two presentations daily (at 2:10 and 8:10) will be given after the FIRST PUBLIC PRESENTATION I FRIDAY NIGHT. The presentation of "HEARTS OF THE WORLD" means the beginning of a new epoch in the world of artistic production. WILLIAM ELLIOTT.
