PHILADELPHIA Stage Society

A new amateur organization, to be
known as the Stage Society of Philadel-
phIa- is in the process of formation Its
membership will include many prominent
artists, amateur actors and interested
playgoers. The Little Theatre will be the
headquarters OF the society.
The movement began with the two
performances given recently at the Little
Theatre by the Washington Square Play
ers OF New York, the sensation of the
present theatrical season there. The COM
mittee of Philadelphians who arranged
for the visit of the Washington Square
Players to this city formed the plan for
a similar organization here. An invitation
to local drama lovers to join the move
ment was printed on the program, and
responses were so numerous that the
Stage Society Is already an accomplished
fact.
The first general meeting, which will be
open to the public. will be held at the
Little Theatre on Wednesday, June 23,
at 4 o'clock. Prof Cornelius Weygandt
and other speakers will explain the OBJ
jects of the society, 1t is expected that
an associate membership-limited to 800
will be fully enrolled at that time.

Here and There

Something new In vaudeville is shown
this week at the Cross Keys, where Vic
tor Burns and company present THE
Third Reel" novel comedy which bur-
lesque the movie craze along original
lines. Burns. who Is n Philadelphian es-
says the role of Hebrew glazier who
is pressed into service to play the part
of an adventurer in three-reel thriller.
1t is later discovered that other members
of the cast are missing, and the glazier
Is compelled to assume number OF
Shakespearean roles to complete the pic
ture. There are seven members in the
cast, and the novelty Is staged amid ro-
mantle surroundings. Manager James
Springer is to be congratulated on land
ing this vaudeville scoop for the first
Philadelphia presentation
OF considerable merit also is the SKETCH
Her Mlllion-dollar Husband" presented
by Minnie Palmer and company. Other
good acts were shown by the Three
Creighton Sisters, dancing Philadelphia
girls; Waldo Waldo, the Paul Brothers,
athletes, and Princess Luba Miroff, who
presents a musical act along new lines.
Tho pictures are full of fun and human
interest,
A novel acrobatic act, billed as Roeder's
Invention, headlines the bill at the Nixon
Grand It is full of many surprises and
a number of mechanical novelties greatly
enhance its value. Kramer and Morton,
announced as the 1.-TWO Black Dots"
proved that they were good comedians
and enappy dancers. Other acts which
pleased were the Melody Monarchs, VIII
fred Dubois, Mccormack and Wallace
and De Leon and Davies.
The show ran with considerable smooth
ness. There was no end of surprises in
the pictures, which were up to the min
ute and greatly appreciated.

ROMANCE OF Toll;
HOW A DISH WASHER
GAINED A FORTUNE
"On the Job" When He
Made SO a Week, Frank
Hardart Kept at 1t Till
His Firm Owned a String
of Lunch Rooms.

let any man preach better sermon or
write better book or make n better mousse
trap than his neiEhbor though he build his
nome hone IN the woods the world will make a
beaten path 10 his door"
Washing dishes all day long Is a some
what tiresome job. The ciatter OF plates
and the jangle Of knives. forks and pans
is not the kind OF music to cause lnspira-
ton. When a fellow has to mon tho
hoor and clean up generally between the
rush Of dishes It is at least apt to stine
hope Of better things.
Right among us here IN Philadelphia Is
man who had to put up with this hum
drum existence for some time down in
New Orleans, and he was only IL when
he took the job. And there were no den-
mite hours about IT.. He went to work
when the place opened and quit when 1t
closed All day long he washed and
scrubbed and secured. He got 50 week
and his name is Frank Hardart
But he washed the dishes well. there
were no lick and a promise" methods
about his work. He applied that same
system to the tasks he took up later, and
now some one else washes the dishes.
WORKER AND OBSERVER
Young Hardart was not only a good
worker; he was also close student Of
human nature, When the boss yelled at
him to drop the dishes and help out at
the tables, he was ION the Job" in fash
Then he learned that most men were
irritable at mealtime 49, and liked good
coffee.
McCloskey. a rival IN the restaurant
line, soon had Hardart over at his place
on St. Charles street and there the boy
had to roast and grind coffee and serve
II to the customers. He was polite and
diplomatic. He agreed with everybody
and everybody agreed with him-incl-
dentally the boss. who raised his wages
until he got $40 week.
The coffee made by the youngster soon
got n reputation in the community. He
knew how to blend II, how much cream
to put in and the proper temperature It
could be kept at without losing its flavor
In 1876 Hardart came to Philadelphia
He was thinking seriously about starting
q lunch place with good coffee as n
headline attraction, but as everybody
was Interested in the Centennial celebra-
tion and also skeptical about making in
vestments even on a small scale, the
youthful promoter of good coffee could
get no capital. He was obliged to take
job outside of his line and worked
for Charles Lipplncott, manufacturer
of soda water apparatus, for three years
Finally he got job at Joe Smiths lunch
place on Sd street above Chestnut II
was one of the first ''get It quick" lunch
places in the city.
FIRST CAFE IN PHILADELPHIA.
One day he saw a small advertisement
in the paper. 1t said that manager was
wanted by a man who intended to start
a small lunch cafe, Hardart answered
the ad The man was Joseph Y. Horn.
Together tney went over the city for
good place to start and after many weeks
decided on December %, 1883, to open at

A letter sent to the trustees by the
Committee OF Twenty follows:
I'VE are, as alumni of the University
of Pennsylvania, very directly interested
in the discussion occasioned by the abrupt
termination of the connection of DR.
Scott Nearing with the University. 1t
has been generally assumed that this ac-
ton on your part has been due to the
views on social and economic questions
expressed by Doctor Nearing For two
years I'm the press throughout the United
States II has been repeatedly stated that
Doctor Nearing would be dismissed be-
cause his views differed from those OF
the trustees.
This dismissal has now become a fact
and the press persists In placing II rpon
these grounds. If unexplained, we be-
leve the public generally will accept these
grounds as true ones. In view OF the
circumstances, and the relation OF the
University to the public, we deem II OF
the utmost Importance that the trustees
state clearly the reasons for their de-
cision so that the alumni may be able
to take such action as seems TO them
appropriate on undsputed facts.

Institutions of learning as centres where
current problems can be discussed, and
