witness the picture. When niodor's
views on the matter were found to be
to a degree adamant. Mr.. Moore
promptly cancelled the booking rather
than break faith with the public.
Les Miserables," as screened last
night, was photographed in France,
with French players in the leading
roles and the production therefore
presents all Of those niceties OF de-
tail and convincing touches necessary
to lend the picture the highest degree
Of artistic finish. Thfe role Of Jean
Vatican is portrayed by Henri Kraus,
Of the Theater Sarah Bernhardt in
Paris, one of the foremost actors on
the rench stage. and the direction was
by Albert Capellani.
The story OF Jean Valjean Is uni
versal. but It is doubtful IL such a
setting could have been afforded Il in
this country as was supplied in the
land from which II sprang. There
are scenes that tug at the heart
strings, others that start the thrills
in rapid chase OF each other and
occasional fleeing intervals that
supply the lighter touches necessary
to balance the more somber or more
melodramatic.

Belasco-sEileen.,

The Irish had a great day last
night at the Belasco. where Victor
Herbert's comic opera, Eileen" was
the offering. True Irish hearts beat
faster, and all others were completely
captivated by the sparkling melo-
dies which the brilliant composer has
provided for his fortieth-odd oper-
eta.
To those who succumbed to the
enchantment of Eileen" II seemed

rich Instrumentation which bespeaks
the cleverest musicianship, 1t Is one
succession of tuneful surprises, color"

When Mr.. Herbert appeared himself
to conduct the large symphony or
chestra through the score, expecta-
tions were raised at the very out
set, and 1t needed only the spirited

NationaI-4Goine Up.s

Somehow It must have got rumored
around that r'Going Up" was worth
while. for, though the new musical
play Is only two weeks old, the Ma
tional Theater was thronged last
night, and somebody must have tip
ped on the President. for he and Mrs.
Wilson were among those present.
Everybody was pleased with the live
ly. laughable, original performance,
which has the exhilarating quality
characteristic OF q Cohan and Harris
production.
"Going up has the unusual merit
for q musical comedy of telling a
story that holds the attention and
even offers excitement. IT Is founded
on o play by James Montgomery,
called '"The Aviator" and 1t is all
about flying. Just why aviation has
gone all these years without making
matter for o musical show cannot be
told, especially after seeing this one.
Anybody can see now that going up
in aeroplanes Is Just the thing to sing
and dance about.
Frank Craven, whose fame as q
farceur IL bright in these parts, is
cast as Robert Street, author Of a
popular book named "Going Up"
whom circumstances at a summer
hotel have impelled to pretend that
he himself has had all the expert
ences of his aviator hero. A big
wager IL laid on the outcome Of a
race In the air between him and
Jules Gaillard. a real French flyer.
and furthermore he has fallen in love
with q girl who believes he is all
that he pretends. So when his friends
who concocted the scheme lose heart
he insists on carrying it through, and
with a few hours instructions he
makes a glorious flight and wins the
day and the girl. This plot is worked
out with many novel and amusing
turns of event, the effect Of which Ii
continually heightened by Mr.. Cra-
ven's delightful drollery.
As for girls. there IL a plentiful,
likable chorus. and a set of fascinat-
ing principals. OF the latter, Miss
Marion Sunshine is a bright little gem
and spreads a lot OF her name
artice in her roguIsh little way
and dances with bewitching grace.
Miss Edith Day makes a companion
picture Of appealing beauty and
sings most pleasingly. Miss Grace
Peters is stately and charming In a
matronly part, for which she quite
properly fails to look old enough. Miss
Ruth Donnelly sings and acts well in
the part Of a telephone girl.
There Is also a clever lot OF mel,
Of whom Joseph Lertora deserves
special credit for his striking picture
Of the French aviator.
The musical numbers by Louis A.
Hirsch are sufficiently sweet and con-
tagious. without pretense Of remark
able novelty. A song called Going
Up" with a swinging. uplifting lit.
is the pervading melody. Tickle Toe"
is a fascinating piece. bringing in a
clever dance speciality by a couple
whose names, IL they appear in the
program. elude Identification. kiss
Me- and '"The Touch OF a woman's
Hand" are the titles Of other good
numbers.
A real workable biplane makes Its
appearance in the last act, and there
is a novel screen illusion showing the
machine for a few moments in airy
flight. There are a number Of other
ingenious and interesting devices In
the staging Of the play.

CAKE IMPROVES WITH AGE
Fruit CORRECTION, Richly Made, Is Bet
ter If Allowed Certain Time
to mellow"

1t is not q very unusual thing to be
given a taste of a girls mothers we'd
ding cake at the wedding Of the girl
herself-which' is the same thing as
saying that it is not very unusual to
taste of fruit cake that has kept we'll
for 20 or 25 years.
Of course, fruit cake to keep well
must be very rich-that is, it must
contain much fruit. And such cake
really improves with age. 1t can be
eaten before it attains the ripe old
age of twenty-five years, but it is far
better q month after baking than the
day after.
Here is a recipe for rich fruit cake ::
Cream, half a pound Of butter and half
a pound of brown sugar until rich and
light. Then add five eggs, beaten
without separating, until creamy. Then
add half a teacupful each of molasses
and brandy and two and one-half cup
fuls of pastry -four. Then add pound
each of seeded raisins and currants
and a half a pound Of thinly sliced
citron, which have all been mixed with
half cupful of flour. This makes
three cupfuls of flour in all that are
used. Then mix in a teaspoonful each
of nutmeg, mace and cloves, and finally
add half a teaspoonful of soda dis
solved in warm water. Pour into two
bread pans and bake very slowly, for
a couple of hours, until well done.
Wrap the cakes in waxed paper
when they are baked and pack in a
tightly closed metal box. A tin pail
with tight cover IS good. A cloth may
be wrapped outside of the paper, but
the paper should be next to the cake.

BEGINNING OF OUR NAVY
Camden Yards on the Delaware the
Original Birthplace of Warships
and Merchantmen.

Sale of the big shipyard at Camden
centers all eyes again upon the Della
ware as the birthplace Of American
navies and merchant marine.
1t was in this city that Joshua Hum
phreys, born out at Haverford, de-
signed and built the original warship
for Independent America. That work
was done in the Continental shipyard,
this city, at the very outset of the
revolution.
This constructor of our first navy
was ordered to build and equip fleet
of war vessels, and they sailed in 1776.
Years later, when Washington was
president, congress ordered the con-
struction of Americas first real navy.
Joshua Humphreys was again COM
missioned to design these warships,
and it was then that "Old Ironsides"
officially the Constitution-the Presi-
dent, the United States, the Constitu-
ton and the Congress were designed.
When Humphreys was a very old
man somebody gave him a can made
from wood taken from "Old Ironsides,"
and the octogenarian constructor then
told how he had designed our first navy
under the administration of the ever
memorable Washington"
But one dreadnaught such as built
in the Camden yard just sold could
sink Humphreys entire fleet with as
much ease and immunity from injury
to itself as a lion could crush a rab-
bit.-Girard in Philadelphia Ledger.
