SPELLBOUND BY SUBLIMITIES
OF "EVERYWOMAN AT NEWARK THEATRE
ny IRVING r. BACON.
"Be merciful, be just, be fair
To every woman, every where
Her faults are many,
Nobody's the blame"

The foregoing. motto on the pro-
gram of "Everywoman," at the New
ark Theatre, sums up in brief the eff
feet which the play has upon the
beholder. 1t broadens the heart and
mind to the shortcomings, the foibles,
the frailties of humanity, particularly
those of the gentler sex, and sends
one away from the playhouse a bet
ter, wiser, more sober-minded, nobler
man.
That he who wrote such a play,
Walter Browne, one-time member of
the editorial staff of the Newark Ad-
vertiser, predecessor of the Evening
Star, died on the very day when the
first performance was given, shows
how little fate and fortune care for
individual man. I'VE are but such
stuff as dreams are made of.
Never have l attended any stage
performance that appeared to me
more like a sacred, grandiose relig-
ious rite. interviewer with the jocund
frivolities, enticing designations and
sense-alluring carnalities.
When the final curtain was rung
down and Nobody, who acts as chorus
throughout, craved for that charita-
BILE opinion of Everywoman which is
expressed in the motto at the head OF
this article, probably all in that vast
audience went forth as l did, with
the feeling of having been laved in a
regenerating flood of charity for all,
malice toward none"
Edna Porter, who plays the part of
Everywoman, is on the stage nearly
all the time, and for three solid hours
does most of the talking and acting
Not every woman is as beautiful as
Everywoman of the play; yet, the
moral of the play is that every
woman hears the seductive voice of
Flattery speaking from the mirror,
and is liable to become deaf to the
pleadings of Truth, and Modesty, and
Truths unassuming son King First
Love, and go forth in search of an
other King Love whom deceitful
Flattery's words invest with a glory
which is found-nowhere!
Accompanied by Youth and Beauty
and timorous Modesty, Everywoman
sallies fol tn in search of that elusive
King Love, Flattery's creation. AS
"all the worlds q stage and all the
men and women merely players" it
is appropriate that the first place
Everywoman should approach in her
quest Is the theatre. She becomes a
"star" and is attended by Wealth
and Lord Witless. Modesty, as too
bothersome. is thrust out of doors by
the theatre managers, Stuff and Bluff,
but nevertheless, although invisible to
Everywoman, continues to admonish
her with gentle voice until Passion,
whom Everywoman mistakes for the
King Love of her search, defiles her
lips with his unholy kiss, and then
Modesty signs, Farewell, forever"
Conscience, her handmaiden, how
ever, still remains.
A banquet is the next scene. IT is
in the new, palatia1 home of Every
woman, who has climbed to the pin
nacle of fame and fortune as an
actress and has as her guests, besides
the theatrical managers and the press
agent, Puff, the millionaire Wealth,

PROCTOR'S

Large audiences enjoyed one of the
best programs of motion pictures
and artistic musical novelties that
Newark has ever seen, when pre-
sented at Proctors Park Place Thea
ire yesterday.
Never, perhaps, has a more en-
thralling picture production as the
The Wolf" been shown anywhere.
Adapted from Eugene Walter great
play of the Canadian wilds, 1t lenas
itself wonderfully to pictures, and
the result is more than could De
wished for. 1t is just one succession
of powerful climaxes, and the beau
tiful stretches of Canadian country
are of nature seldom seen in PIC
lures.
The Bubin all-star cast, consisting
of George Soule Spencer, Ethel Clay
ton, CASTOR Bell, Fred Tidmarsh and
Riley Hatch give the different char
acters Il sincere and compelling in
depreciation, and 1t proves hit.
The Wolf" will be presented today
and tomorrow, the programs chang
ing every Monday and Thursday
Excellent music supplements tina

other offerings on the screen. Sew
eral extremely artistic. musical and
vocal novelties met with much ap-
plause.
For Thursday. Friday and Satur-
day, the great Vitagraph photo
dramatic success. My Official Wife,,
with Harry Morey, Clara Kimball
Young and Earle Williams will be
the feature. 1t Is a sensational
drama of Russian life. written by
Colonel Richard Henry Savage, and
achieved much publicity during Its
In n gT
Theatre on Broadway.
With nothing but the best produc-
lions to be seen, excellent music,
prices to fit every purse and con-
tinuous entertainment every day
from II in the morning to II in the
evening, Proctor's Park Place bids
fair to rapidly become one of the
great rendezvous of this city's pho
toplay patrons.

the roundness and suppleness Of her
figure are but memories. Her eyes
have lost their flame.
BECOME" commands Wealth; II
know you not"
And then comes Vice, young grace
full, and with a swinging suggestive
ness in her gait, and as Wealth links
arms with her and walks away, vice
laughs EVerywomen to scorn.
Charity now comes along and, in her,
Everywoman recognizes the haggard
old witch Truth, whom she once had
spurned. She stretches out her arms
to her and, behold, the decrepit old
bag straightens up; her wrinkled,
hideous face becomes illumined With
a celestial beauty and she gives the
tottering Everywoman her crutch to
lean upon.
Again the scene shifts to Every
woman's original home. Truths son,
First Love, is on the floor asleep, in
front of the blazing hearth. He had
been keeping vigil long and now
when his mother brings back Every
woman he takes her in his arms.
And Truth opens the door to a
beautiful maiden shivering in the cold
outside 1T is Happiness who asks to
be admitted says Truth. And 10!
Happiness, entering, proves to be
none other than Modesty.
Of the players, Elmer Grandin, as
Nobody, shared honors to the full
with Miss Porter's Everywoman.
Miss Marguerite Patterson, as
Youth, is a lovable spritelike figure
and does some excellent acting, espe-
cially in the banquet scene and in the
final episode when Time cuts short
her career. Similar praise is due to
Miss Mabel Harris as Beauty and
Miss Hilda Peters, Modesty, the cees-
tial maid.
1t Is a rather invidious thing to
single out some without naming ali,
where all performed so well. Still the
list Is too long to enumerate each by
name and characterize his or her es-
pecial excellence. Suffice ii to say,
the playing was in keeping with the
play: and the play, In my estimation,
is as perfect piece of dramatic art
as genius can attain to.

LYRIC

Her first appearance in two years
in a city where she achieved most Of
her successes, Miss Minna Phillips,
the we'll known, talented leading lady,
and one of this city's favorlte STOCK
stars, scored pronounced success yes
terday at the Lyric, with audiences
that filled the popular playhouse be-
yond capacity.
There is little need to dwell on Miss
Phillips's excellent past performances
when d leading member of the Payton
Stock Company in principal support
with Corse Payton, and suffice 1t to
say that her performance at the Lyric
yesterday in a delightful comedy
called when the Cats Away"
eaualled any of her previous perfor-
mances. Miss Phillips is ably sup
ported by Clyde Bates and George
Sheppard. whose work, combined
with that of Miss Phillips, makes
when the Cats Away" one of the
dramatic gems of the year. Miss
Phillips was greeted by an enthusi-

of romance.
Ed Fox and Will Burkhardt, well
known metropolitan song writer's,
made their vaudeville debut on this

markable execution of his masters

stunts. Van and the Ward Sisters,
in a clever singing and dancing skit;
Dorantic, a musical prodigy, who
uses many unique scenes; the Smil-

contortion and equilibristic skill, and

diversity to this excellent bill. The
photoplay subjects changed daily,
showed the usual care in selection,
and were received with usual high
interest.
