we have the situation. OF course Miss
Marion Barney cannot impersonate Eve
year-old tot, nor an eight-year-old miss
either, so the character of Claudia is di-
vided among three persons. AS a baby
girl OF i've years little Dorothy Black IS
as cute and clever little actress as has
been seen on the histrionic planks in
day. Miss Black has played this par
ticular role on several occasions and has
been highly praised, because of her splen-
cid work, by both press and public. As
pretty, impulsive, young miss of wears.
Miss Beatrice Barnett will undoubtedly
meet with instant success, as She is al,
able actress, fascinating and bewitchinp
beyond her years. Miss Barney will pro-

situation, that to say the least 10 one that
calls forth the resources of the most
talented and experienced actress, and
Miss Barney has long since proven her
ability to cope with the ordeal. Mr..
Howell Hansel will of course be seen as
Will Peyton and an excellent perform
ance can always be looked for from this
versatile leading man. ssThe Prince
Chap" is sentimental story from begin
ming to end; some might even cali it
pathetic, but it is life-like and real in its
purpose, and is unfolded without resort
ing to an appeal to the imagination. 1t
is heart-reaching drama and strikes
home with force that makes the auditor
feel that he has seen play worth while.
Every day there's matinee. 500 splendid
seats for fifty cents each.
GARRIcK THEATRE
1.-THE Fortune Hunter" with Iohu
Barrymore and the original cast. con-
tinues to attract crowds to the Garrick
Theatre, Philadelphia, where it is now in
its sixth week of its popular engagement.
The story of the play is one of appealing
force, and the village character types as
familiar to Philadelphia as they were to
New York and Chicago, where the play
made record runs. The kindly old village
druggist who has wasted his life working
on inventions that never brought him any
return; the Grabbed, crusty, country
banker whose fortune, through winning
his only daughter, is the object of the
fortune hunter; eli" and 'sWatty," the
gossipy small town store 1oungers; the
village dude" and the country lout, all
are as natural as if brought from one of
the rural districts to the stage. John
Barrymore, as Nat Duncan, has role that
fits him perfectly, and he is supported by
a company of excellent actors. Mary
Ryan Is the poor druggists daughter.
whose love wins Nat from the scheme on
which he embarked when he began life
in the village. Eda Bruna is the bankers
daughter, and Kathryn Marshall her chum.
In the other principal parts are several
actors well known here through their
connection with stock companies. For
rest Robinson, Charles Fisher and John
c. Browell have played many parts in
Philadelphia. There is much comedy in
the lines Winchel1 Smith, the author, has
written and naturalness in the situations
that come from the scheme of the CITY,
reared chap settling in country town to
win from the local swaims the girl with
fortune. The rules under which he
lives might easily be applied in life with
the same results, and the theory BY which
he is to accomplish his object is plausibly
reasonable. 1t makes delightful comedy
and one that Philadelphia has shown its
liking for without hesitation
AUDITORIUM THEATRE
Fighting bulls are not very accomodat-
ing, even to the moving picture photo
graphers There is series of animated
scenes in Lyman II. Howe's new travel
festival, which will appear at Burlington
Auditorium, on Thursday evening, March
I6, that demonstrates how unwil1ingly
bulls enter into the spirit of picture max
ing. One of the Howe representatives
spent several months in the mountains of
Spain making animated scenes of the
training of fighting bn1l. To make good
moving photography of the incidents that
teach Mr., Bull to be furious it is neces-
saro to be very near him, and the camera
man had several torn and tattered suits of
clothes to prove his stories of the 'splay-
fulness'' of the animals. The photogra-
pher was instructed by his Office to" bring
out all the exciting features of the train
ing and of an actual bull fight, but keep
out all objectional features. T"
Can one evil mind poison whole house
hold? Is the human brain capable of pro-
ducing disastrous effects upon a house
hold BY adverse suggestive thoughts? Do
we realize adequately how our mental at
titudes influence our lives and the lives of
those about us? All these questions are
asked in THE Rosary, new play by
Edward E. Rose. and produced by Messrs.
and Clifford. And the answer
Well, the play is the answer. For one
half its course it builds up condition of
affairs in typical American family of to-
Law. The inner life of each member is
shown, and there is the subtle feeling
produced that all is not right, that one
mind is not in full accord with the peace
and happiness of that household There
