''THE PORTRAIT"


This is an artistic story in theme
and production that wins and holds
the sympathetic interest of the audi
ence. Ralph Dryden. before begin
ming work in portrait competition
goes to the country for % short vaca-
ton, and on a ramble falls and
sprains his ankle. An old lady driy-
ing by just then takes him home
with her and cares for him. She Ia
a very nice old lady and she talks to
him great deal about her son who
went long ago to New York to study
art and of whom she has lost all
trace.
Dryden, laid up by his accident
and greatly interested in the old lady
induces her to let him paint her por-
trait, which he means to enter for
the competition. When he returns to
town he assures her that he will try
to find her son, not telling her how
hopeless are the drawings made by
the boy which she has shown him.
Back in town, Dryden finds himself
in the midst Of seething activity
among his brothers of the brush, who
are hard at work on their portraits.
He refuses to show the one he is en-
tering before the exhibit, and arouses
a great deal OF curiosity on the sub,
JSCl. OHe dIIiSlt 11Oy 1, Il JedlOuS rival,
is particularly concerned about Dry
denis picture, and tries in every way
to see 1t.
While Hoyt is working one evening
In his studio the door bursts open, ana
a hunted terror-stricken youth filings
himself in and gasps, THE police"
Hoyt, grabbing him, finds him con-
cealing a loaf of bread under his
shabby coat, and sympathetically
hides him behind a screen, informing
the arriving police that no one has
come in.
Hoyt then seeks his refugee, and
finds him lying limp ON the floor. He
picks him up. but before offering him
any stimulant goes through his peck
cts, finding his name and address on
a letter, which he notes down in a
book, and then turns to reviving the
boy. lie sends him away with some
money, bidding him come back the
next day.
The starved lad goes away dazedly
happy and shows up promptly the
next morning, to be met with this

CURTAIN
CALLS

Charles Frohman sailed for Europe
yesterday on the Mauretania. Before
! leaving he said he believes that next
| seasons plays must be full of quick
action to please dance lovers and to
compete with motion pictures. He
said:
1.-The season just past has been a
| series of victories for American plays.
II has demonstrated that American
audiences demand strong, quick scenes
no matter how they are put together
or why; or strikingly funny plays of
movement more than of dialogue or
ideas. This craving for movement in
the theatre | attribute to the influence
of dancing. | think the style of play
that will have the best vogue next
season will be the play of a success
sion of scenes so quickly over that il
will compete with the moving picture
play.
81 am going to look after my the
aires and productions i'm London and
elsewhere i'm England" he continued
II shall produce in London Billie
Burke's comedy, Jerry and Kitty
Mackay,' both by Catherine Chisholm
Gushing, the latter by arrangement
with William Elliott. | also shall en-
gage artists for the Gillette Bates
Doro Diplomacy combination over
here next season. and decide on Il
musical play for the Sanderson- Brian
Cawthorn combination. I hope that
when they finish their engagements in
New York John Drew and Ethel Bar
rymore will make d four weeks visit
to London in a Scrap of Paper
shall consult with John Galsworthy
for Otis SINNERS American produc-
ton of the Galsworthy play THE Mob.
"Maude Adams win play THE Leg
end of Leonora' all next season. Billie
Burke will continue in Jerry for the
remainder of this and all of next sea-
son. When she next appears in New
York IL will be in a new American
comedy.
Nero fiddled while Rome burned, but
he has nothing on Julius Astner,
leader of the orchestra at keeney's
Theatre. AS a matter of fact julius
went Nero one better, for he tiddled
while his own house was burning.
julius, though, did not know he WIS
emulating Nero.
Just after the orchestra took their
seats for the evening performance at
keeney's last night, Manager John Il.
McNally was called to the telephone
and asked to inform Mr. Astner that
his home in East Orange was on fire
McNally was in a quandary. If he in
formed Astner IL might mean a miss
ing orchestra leader and there was
none other in sight.
So Mr.. McNally played the safe and
sure game by keeping the information
TO himself until the performance was
over when he informed Mr.. Astner
that he had been doing Nero" stunt
all evening. When Astner found out
the damage to his home had been
slight he forgave McNally for keeping
him in ignorance.

Little Sonny Brown. alone in the
world after the death of his drunken
tathcr, wandered aimlessly away,
and, exhausted, finally fell asleep by
the roadside. Mr.. and Mrs. Cha tier
ton, with their small daughter Clara,
passed the forlorn little figure in
heir automobile, picked him up, took
him home, and tucked him away in a
clean little white crib.
Then Sonny entered upon the trail
of most amazing adventures He
went 10 the court of Prince Make Be
lteNe and asked to have his health
and home restored. Tile king COM
missioned him to seek the Spring Of
Love. where he would receive what
he desired. Sonny began wandering
again and came finally to "Taffy
Inn, where he was told that Master
Pence, the miser, owns the spring. On
he travelled, becoming very, very tired,
until he could go no farther, and he
fell down in the road from sheer
WEAKNESS. AS he laid there unconsci-
Gus, Miss Pansy, the daughter of
Master Pence, came along, discovered
him and took him home with her,
tucking him into bed for a good rest.
Master Pence was counting over his
gold pieces when. they came in, but
and went off to the Spring of Love"
TO conceal them. Soon after his de-
parture came Duke Big Bars. villain
from the court, and demanded food
from Pansy. While she was prepar-
ing it, he slipped out TO the spring
and shot the old miser. On his re-
turn he sat down to eat, but the
water in his glass magically turned
TO INK, which poisoned him and he
fell dead. as all Williams in fairy tales
ultimately do. Pansy and Sonny went
forth to seek the miser and found
MIN lying by the spring clasping his
bags of gold in his hands.
Sadly they take the money and set
off for the court of Prince Make Be-
l1eve, where they are affectionatelV
received, put into lovely sillten and
velvet garments and crowned with
the kings favor at a most elaborate
court ceremonial
Sonny stretched his arms out and
encountered the hard round bars that
hedged him in the crib opened his
eyes and beheld the laughing eyes
and dropping curls of Clara leaning
over him while she offered him some
good things to eat. He pushed the
food away, for il is a sudden trip
from the court of Prince Make Be
HeVe to small crib, and he was
rather dazed. Clara put the dishes
aside and wound her arms around
him. 20, may ] have him for my
little brother?" she begged of her
father and mother, standing Just be
hind her. They looked at each other,
nodded, and smiled at her, and thus
Sonny was brought into realms even
more enchantingly happy than those
at the court of Prince Make Believe.

EURoPE'S ARMIES SLEEP
IN PHILADELPHIA BLANKETS
New Order for 100000 Just Re
ceived by One Firm.

NEW Oroer Tor 100000 Just Re
ceived by One Firm.
Europe's battling armies are using
woolen blankets manufactured in Phila-
delphia. John and james Dobson, Inc.
manufacturers of woolen goods, today re-
ceived an order from a foreign Govern
ment for 10000 army blankets.
This order. according to officials Of the
company. is comparatively small one
The manufacturers have been supplying
a foreign Power or Powers with army
blankets for the last two months during
which time hundreds of thousands of
blankets have been sent across the ocean
to the battlehelds.
Four Dobson mills are busy supplying
the demand. which has increased mark
edly since the war began.
The company would not divulge the
name of the foreign power or powers
ordering the blankets, or the method of
shipment. These facts are carefully
guarded to prevent the possible intercept
ton of the consignments by hostile ma
tions.
The British navy Is on the alert to
capture army supplies intended for the
German and Austrian forces, and now
that Turkey has entered the war consign-
ments of blankets for the Ottoman army
would be seized as contraband.
On the other hand, should the route
taken by the ships bearing the blankets
to the Allies be made known, German
cruisers might seize the cargoes.

LEAGUE IS MONTHS OLD.
THE Posture League was the idea of
Miss Jessie H. Bancroft, director of physl-
cal training In the New York public
schools. She had thought of It for years,
but about 1S months ago was able to
put her scheme into execution. With the
exception OF myself, all the members Of
the league are either physicians or physi-
cal directors or educators. The work is
supervised by different committees, each
of which concentrates its study on fur
niture, or boys clothing, or girls cloth
ing, or corsets, or baby carriage seats,
or some other item which seems to have
need for reform. There is no COM
mercial aspect to the league, although 1t
co-operates with manufacturers who put
It's scientific conclusions into force"

PAUL CRET'S DEATH
DTSBELEEVED BY HIS
FRIENDS IN THIS CITY
Investigating Reports of Dis
aster to Soldier-P rofessor
on Battlefield of France.
Have No Official Source.

Members of the faculty of the Univer-
slty of Pennsylvania are making every
possible effort today to ascertain whether
or not there is truth in the report that
Professor Paul Philippe Cret. professor
Of architectural design, was killed on the
battlefield Of France. A letter received
from Professor Cret this morning by
Charles l.. Borle, the architects intimate
friend and trustee of the University,
leads the faculty and Cret's friends to
believe the report is false.
In his letter to Mr.. Borie. dated October
Is, Professor Cret says he had lust been
detailed to duty in Grenoble in the south
OF France, near the Italian border. A
letter from Madame Cret, dated October
81, says Professor Cret had not seen
actual service UP to that time
A telegram was sent today TO Irving K
Pond, of Chicago, asking him to locate
Gutzon Borghun, the sculptor, who told
Assistant Secretary of Labor Post that
Cret had been killed. and to ascertain
from Borghum where the report
originated.
Francis r. Bacon, of the architectural
department of the University of Pennsyl-
vania, said: I'VE are inclined to give
little credence to the reported death of
Professor Cret. 1t is hardly likely he
will be put in actual field service. His
eyesight Ia imperfect and It is doubtful
IL he could pass the requirements of the
French army. In recent letter Pro-
fessor Cret told us that he was very
busy making drawings for the army 1t
seems to me that a man of his ability
as a military architect would not be sent
to the trenches"
I'VE would be the first to hear of IT,"
said Provost Smith. "I feel positive that
later reports will show Professor Cret is
alive and well. His loss would indeed be
a blow to u.s."
Professor Laird head of the depart-
ment of architecture at the university, re-
Gently received letter under the date of
October 10 from Lyons, which said Cret
was doing patrol duty in the south of
France, while his wife, Nine Cret, is
acting as a trained nurse with his reEi-
ment.
Professor Cret, who sailed last July for
visit to his home in France, was one of
the first French Americans to respond to
his country's call for Teservists Many
letters received from him In Philadelphia

was brought to Washington by Gutzon
Borghum. the sculptor. He is now en-
route TO Chicago, and the source of his
information cannot be learned for seyera
days Assistant Secretary of Labor Post
said the sculptor told him personally of
the architects death In a casual way and
not as information to be given out off,

URGES INCREASED
LOCAL EXHIBITS AT
''FRISCO'S" FAIR
Merchants and Manufacture
ers' Association Appoints
Committee to Point Out
Possibilities at Exposition.

Philadelphia merchants, manufacturers
and business men are taking little in
terest in the Panama Pacific International
Exposition, which opens in San Francisco
next February. The war, the election
and business conditions in general have
swept away all thoughts Of the fair, at
least for the time being.
Such is the opinion expressed by prom
inent business men, who with many
others, no doubt. hope to see the city
represented with suitable and imposing
exhibits, and who feel It is high time
Philadelphia and Philadelphians interest
themselves in the exposition, which prom
ises to be the greatest ever held at any
time or in any country.
1t Is hoped many of the larger Phila-
delphia manufacturing concerns will mako
individual exhibits. Other manufacturers
hope to make a collective exhibit. It is
announced at the headquarters of the
Merchants and Manufacturers Associa-
ton that a committee of three has been
appointed to consider the possibility Of
n collective commercial Philadelphia eN
hibit and to urge manufacturers to "get
busy"
Calvin NJ smyth. president of the
Young. Smyth- Field Company, 1916 Arch
street. has been chosen committee chair
man. The other members are j. Howell
Cummings, president of the John b.
Stetson Company, 4th and Montgomery
avenue. and Edmond B. Roberts, OF
Henry Disston & Sons, manufacturers In
Tacony.
Those who have been following tho
sarly development OF the Panama-Pacitio
Exposition plans have been wondering
what effect the war will have on these
projects. European exhibits may not
come up TO expectations. but the interest
in South America, in China and in Japan
IS aroused. and already the South Amer
lean and Oriental exhibits promise TO be
among the finest.
Philadelphia manufacturers all seem to
agree that this city will be we'll repre-
sented, but some do not hesitate 10 say
Il is high time TO ''get busy" and that
they hope the committee will arouse the
called-for enthusiasm.
An early canvass OF a few of the lead
ing merchants and manufacturers shows.
nevertheless, that the situation in this
city Is peculiar. Many of the larger
manufacturers have made no arrange
ments 10 have exhibits at the exposition.
Some are undecided, and others declare
they have decided not to exhibit.
The William Cramp & Sons Ship and
Engine Building Company reported that
no arrangements had been made to date.
The same answer was received from the
ofiices OF the Brill Car Works, the Fels
Soap Company and several other concerns
who have exhibited at other expOsltions,
The Baldwin Locomotive Works have
been planning their exhibit for some
months and promise II VIII be novel and
imposing. The John B. stetson Com
pany asserts its exhibit win surpass any
thing 1t has had before.

CLOSE WATCH KEPT HERE
FOR SECRET WIRELESS POSTS
Government Inspectors Alert to Lo-
cate Violations Of Neutrality.

cate NlOlaLlOuS OF NeubIhilby'
Though the United states Government
officials feel certain that there are no
secret German or Japanese wireless sta
tions in this city or It's envlrons, close
watch is being kept. Tho naval radio
station at the Philadelphia Navy Yard.
one of the most powerful along the At
lantic coast, has operators always alert
for the sending or receiving Of messages.
and It is impossible for any ether waves
to be sent from the radius of 80 miles
that they cannot locate.
There are two German steamships with
wireless outfits interned at this port, but
the wireless rooms have been sealed by
Government inspectors and are examined
each week to see that the seals are not
broken.
The quest for senders OF mysterious code
messages has led the wireless inspectors
to the coast OF Maine and to the Florida
peninsula. Here. It Is believed, stations
have been erected in the woods. It is
expected that they will soon be located.
