WAR NEWS

Readers of The Review are perhaps expressing the dissatisfaction felt throughout the reading world because of the nadequacy of news from the batdehelds of Eur ope The complaint is universal The conditions re- sponsble fer the situation are deplored less in the sanctum of the metropolitan press than in the country newspaper office The Review is served by the Associ ated Press admittedly the competant newsgath- ering bureau world There is thus the satisfac knowing that whatever appears in these columns is all that be cleaned from the front and that it is Readers protected against sensational false reports But just word to the cause back of this deartb of extended accounts of the war

But when such cool deliberate thinker Dr. Eliot pres dent emeritus Harvard tells us that the future Of the American nation is bright with hope, forth the reasons for his faith, ready to listen.
 Dr. Elotin a recent magazine article expresses his confidence that this nation is destined to long life be- cause:
 We have universal education
 We tolerant in religcon.
 We have better family life than had any of the his orc republics that pershed
 We have more equitable inheritance laws.
 We have adequate publicity in all public activities.

A Striking Miracle Play

"Pilates Daughter" the miracle play by
Francis L. Kennel, a Roman Catholic priest,
was produced last night at the Chestnut Street
Opera House. One of the unique features of
the production is that there are male char
actars in it.
Apart from the spectacular aspects of the
play it has a strong religious appeal-the ap-
peal of such plays Ben Hur" and "The Sign
OF the Cross" pilates Daughter is founded
on the old legend relating to the daughter OF
Pontius PLATE. According to this. Claudia, the
daughter of the proconsul. threw a rose from
her balcony Christ being led to Calvary.
The flower touched his garment. and although
it trod upon by hundreds when the girl
recovered it, the still bloomed.
Ten years later the perpetually blooming rose
was used to work miracles. A spring is made
to Gush out of the stone prison wall where the
Christian held dead child is
brought to life; reason is restored to an unfor-
tunate woman stricken mad at the time of the
crucifixion
Violet de Bicarri takes the part of Claudia,
Pilates daughter. in the first act, and the role
of later years. when the girl has grown to
womanhood, is assumed by Constance Moll-
neauX who displayed consummate skill. Miss
Molineauxs work at all times bore the stamp
of sincerity, especially In her eloquently de-
livered prayers
Marion Barney, old friend of Philadelphia
playgoers. was welcomed back in dual roles,
first as Claudia Procea, the wife of Pontius
PLATE. later Agrippina. the wife OF Caesar
Although neither part was of a nature to bring
out her accomplishments to the best she acquit-
ter herself admirably. Margaret Yryng, as the
Roman sorceress, made the most of the situa-
tions that fell to her. In fact, all the members
of the exceptionally large cast were excellent
Considerable attention has been given to the
scenery and properties Some OF the spectacu-
lar effects achieved remarkable A curious
and striking lapse is made, however, in the
handling OF the Crucfxon in the second scene
of act 1, when the Christ is shown without the
thieves that according to Biblical history. were
cruehed on either side OF the Saviour

Margaret Anglin in Notable Revival

Margaret Anglin is one of the really COM
paratlvely few great living actresses. ohe
speaks of great living actresses"-the majority
of great actresses, OF course, being dead. The
same is inevitably true of great, very great
playwrigbts.
However, Miss Angn is very much aliVe-so
much SO that her husband figures in automo-
bile arrests while she, herself, revives play
written by one of the most brilliant men OF
the century, man to whom, lying in grave
in Montmartre, has come full and deserved
recognition for surprising wit and genius
Lady Windermeres Fam" in which MISS
Anglin appeared last night at the Broad Street
Theatre, is a play OF admirable technique, an
evenings dramatic menu in which every course
is served with tartar sauce There has never
been q more seductive, a more subtle. a more
delightfully."- worldly Mrs. Erlynne than the one
presented by Miss Anglin. Miss Anglin makes
that brilliant woman of dubious character
really winning. On the stage this type usually
isn't. In Wildes play this woman, tragical In
her life, becomes mother desirous of protect
ing her child Mrs Erlynne is perhaps the
most appealing character in the Wilde plays.
AS such, Miss Anglin played the part with an
intellectual understanding an artistic restraint
which Wilde himself would have admired.
If Lady Wndermere's Fam is already an
anachronism so far as upper Firth avenue or
Rttenhouse Square are concerned. its satire
on social and human frailty is quite as apropos
as when Wilde wrote it. AS play 1t is far
superior to the Eugene Walter and Gus Thomas
productions as they attempt to deal, seriously
or otherwise, with social and other problems.
Miss Angns cast is admirable Ruth Holt
Boucicault is scintillant Duchess of Berwick.
Florence Carpenter Lady Windermere.
insnuatngly captivating. While Sidney Green
street played Lord Lorton incomparably, there
have been much better Lord Windermeres than
that enacted by Leonard Wiley, the heralded
Australian star. Mr.. Wiley bit too in
tense-too intense you know Altogether, Miss
Anglin's revival is notable. 1t is perhaps
of the best, if not the best. presentation of
Oscar Wilde's delectable play

"NearlY Married. at the Garrick

Governor Tener, of the sovereign State of
Pennsylvania, aided and abetted elopement
last night This in itself was reprehensbe
when It is announced that the elopement
between man and his own wife. Just what
excuse the president OF the National League will
mako remains to be seen. But aside from this
official faux pas. Nearly Married" which came
back to the Garrick last night with cast new,
with the exception OF the star. Bruce McRae,
proved pleasant entertainment.
The main criticism of the play. which has
been reviewed before, is its exceeding smness.
If brevity be the soul of wit, then Nearly Mar
red" is the wittest play of the ages for It
lasted just hour and Of minutes. 1t began
at half-past and finished at half-past TO- with
two 15-ninute intermissions
Bruce McRae, who is a living duplicate in
looks and manners and speech of Archie Gum,
the artist bit heavy in the role of the
bedeviled husband. Hattie King. the profess
sonal correspondent, was fairly true to life,
though bit hard. Gertrude Robinson and John
McCabe, as the other welded couple, did well,
as did Dick Giffen as the obnoxious brother.
Smaller parts played and played WELL by
Delmar E. Clark the East Indian, Beatrice
Ingram as his Irish wife. John Sparks the
justice of peace, and Danny Day. the chauf-
feur.
Antoinette Walker was Betty Lindsay the
foolish heroine
Taken all in all, Nearly Married" is a merry
comedy, broad at times, but entertaining never
theless, but too brief withal, save for the in
excusably long intermissions

interesting In the case of the musical farce

Mrs. Fiske in Comedy

Despite Mrs. Fskes association with serious
drama, her abilities as a comedienne are of
superlative sprightliness and brilliance. Her
appearance at the Broad Street Theatre, Octo-
Der Y, in the now comedy by John Luther
Long and Frank stayton is an event of thea
tire Importance. Lady Betty Martingale, or
the Adventures of Lively Hussy" is an
nounced as a comedy in which Mrs. Fiske
finds ample opportunity for the display Of this
particular phase Of her genius Lady Betty,
living in London in the year 1850, embodies the
gay frivolous sport-loving, gaming life OF
the period. Hounded by creditors and pur-
sued by a rich but elderly and repug-
nant suitor, she seeks to find a way out
of her difficulties by marrying a political pris-
oner in Newgate who is condemned to death.
