Power of the Drama to
Upliit Shown in Result
of "AIong Came Ruth

One Of the most striking illustra-
tons OF the power OF the drama for
good Is furnished by a confectionery
and stationery store on n side street,
Its show windows had apparently not
been washed in years. The candles
and other goods which were displayed
had become almost repulsive-looking
by length of neglect An air of decay
seemed to pervade the whole place.
Last week some good Samaritan
put it into the mind of the proprietor
of the stere to attend performance
of along Came Ruth" at the Newark
Theatre.
Next day. people passing the store
were pleasantly shocked by the mar
velous change affected over night.
The show-wlndows were as clean and
clear as crystals and the display stock
was fresh and attractive and arranged
In truly artistic order.
1t is safe to say there was ten times
more business done by the store that
day than in any three days put to-
gether during the period of neglect
and disorder.

1.-The Reform Candidate"
Majestic.

This is a strong story, depicting the
pitfalls in the path Of the political re-
former. James Condor Is so en-
crossed in his campaign that he
neglects his young wife. He is so
popular he causes the opposition
great uneasiness. These two circum-
stances get him into serious trouble.
Condon's private secretary is in the
pay of the opposition. Also he Is in
love with Mrs. Condor. Condor finds
the secretary with his wife in a lover
like attitude. He dismisses him.
The dismissed secretary goes to the
headquarters of the opposition. Mrs.
Condor cannot bear her husbands
suspicious, and leaves him. This fact
Is published in the newspapers. The
private secretary employs an adj
ventures to entrap Condor. She
fails in her early attempts, but sue
oeeds at last in beguillng him into q
gambling house which the opposition
proposes to have raided.
While Condor is in the den one OF
the gamblers quarrels with his former
secretary, who also is there. The
police arrive, and everybody fees ex-
cept Condor, his former secretary and
the adventures. The gambler who
has quarreled with the secretary APP

shoots and kills his enemy. Condor
is found alone with the body, the
pistol on the floor.
A newspaper account Of Condon's
arrest falls into the hands Of his wife.
She is convinced of his Innocence. On
the street she meets twt - her hus-
bands political opponents and over
hears part of their plot. She per-
suades q messenger boy. to lend her
his uniform, and in that disguise
penetrates the secret headquarters of
Condon's enemies. She learns the
concealed story of the murder, but
her disguise is penetrated and she is
locked in a room on the highest floor
of skyscraper She escapes by
clamberiDg along the grooved wall of
the building TO another window, seeks
out the adventures, and pleads with
her to help her.
The adventures. who has been dis
appointed in her efforts to obtain
money from Condon's enemies, agrees
and points out the real murderer's
hiding place. He is arrested and con-
fesses just as the coroner's jury is
about to hold Condor for murder

he crashed blIndIy INTO great tree,
falling to the ground unconscious.
John and his chauffeur soon had the
man in the car with them ana look

The difficulties placed in his pain
by Carl Helner were irritating to q
man of Kronitzs temperament, put
he was determined to have tnat gun,
so he engaged an expert mechanlclan'
who, with the aid of the suggestions
he extracted from Bopp, was able 10
construct fairly good plan of Carr $
invention. When Bopp, asking for
his pay in the deal, showed dissatls-
faction with the small sum doied out
to him he was "fired" with no cere-
mony by the Man of IRON
Kronitz, with his plan perfected,
decided to go to America to interest
capital in it, and an item to that
effect was printed in newspaper,
which Hilda clipped out and sent to
John. Kronitz took Hilda with him
and they went on board ship, the
discharged Bopp sneaking after them
and making the voyage as stow
away.
In the meantime John, after rescu-
ing Carl, had brought him to Amer
lea with him, had become interested
in his gun and procured q patent.
of this Kronitz was unaware, and at
the meeting of the capitalists, among
whom was Smardon. he spoke
of the gums possibilities,
them of its value.
At the conclusion to his peroration
came telegram telling him the gun
already was protected by patent. The
were dismissed and he
faced Smardon alone. 1t was not
solitary session, however, for John

who had been picked up in the New
York slums. kronitz's humiliation
was completed when John, opening

One of the greatest obstacles was
the fact that this great cast could

"rhe Things That Count" at Will
liam A. Brady's Playhouse,
New York, appears to grow
greater In popularity at the
waning point of the season than it
was In the height of winter. Last
weeks audiences, taken as q total,
were considerably the largest since
Mr.. Eyre's drama was first made
known several months ago This con-
dition goes far to prove the long
cherished theory of management that
when an interesting play of high
moral purpose once has engaged the
public regard its stability is much
more dependable than that of plays
appealing to the fancy of the mo-
ment. Thus works like THE Things
That Count" and "Peg o. My Heart
retain their high place in popular
esteem at time when many produce
lions of a sensational order have dis
appeared from view.
Next Sunday night win be the great
event at Miners Empire Theatre,
when an annual testimonial perform
ance will be rendered to Harry d.

who will have charge of the entire
performance, has spent a great deal

'"Too Many Cooks" the brisk and
successful comedy by Frank Craven,
is firmly anchored at the Thirty
ninth Street Theatre, New York,
where 1t will remain until
well into the amusement sea-
son beginning next autumn. Few
plays in recent years have sprung
into favor as early in life as Mr..
Craven's piece, which even at its first
try-out ION the road drew u very
large audience, and, in fact, never
has been played to small one. Will
liam A. Brady remarks that "Too
Many Cooks" Is one of the very rare
stage offerings within his long and
exceptionally active career in man
agement that seemed predestined to
success.

when l finished writing Too Many

day, ST thought was through with
acting, at least If the play should
turn out to be hit. | don't like act
ing. 1t is too regular. You've got to
be on the same spot at the same In
slant and say the same thing in the
same way every night and twice on
Wednesdays and Saturdays. Says |
to myself, IL can be an author and
do all my work at once, and only
once, you won't catch me decorating
my countenance with makeup ever
again-not mel
But Mr.. Brady caught me, all
right. Told me he wouldn't do my
piece If l wouldn't play this part.
That left me where / was before, ex-
cepting that now L had the choice of
taking an engagement in somebody
else's play or going into my own. l
kicked against it pretty strongly, but

building up Broadway. So here am.
"Of course I'm not growing. No
body who isn't all mule can complain
of success But / don't mind telling
you that when I am through playing
