that the Lubln chorus. or rather the
feminine portion of It. is Of surprising
loveliness, an assemblage Of beauteous
pulchritude such never before has been
assembled under one roof Donald G,
Scott, secretary of the association, said
so. and he Is a past master a confirmed
expert when II comes to feminine sweet
ness and looks.
But. leaving aside any opinion Mr..
Scott may have, the Lubin chorus is a
delight to the eye and a rehearsal Is well
worth the price OF 10 admissions. II only
to hear Mr. Helston sing "Ti tum etc"
and do dance the like of which was
never before seen on this or any other
world. And then, too, there is Douglas
man. He ranks nearer to the star grade,
but, lust to help out and to be regular
fellow, he tied white cloth about his
fcvered brow, doffed his coat and danced
and sang--a cross between Tetrazzin and
Mrs. Vernon Castle, IL such perfection

And-theres Donald C. Scott-oh. yes,

THE UnwelcOme Wife" Shown
private view of "The Unwelcome
Wife," an Ivan film, handled in this city
by the Modern Film Company, was shown
yesterday at the Chestnut Street Opera
House. The film is a remarkably strong
one. splendidly photographed, and the role
of the insane wife is portrayed by NAL
vine Loebel with startling realism and
tremendous power. The play is far above

will have TO be improved
