PATRIOTISM THEME
OF LAVEDAN'S PLAY

Henri Lavedan, the French Academi-
clan, whose two-act drama, Service"
will be the major feature of a notable
bill that Mrs Fiske will submit at the
Broad Street Theatre next week. is one
Of the most eminent of contemporary
Parisan dramatists. His influence has
long been more than merely national,
and until recently new works from his
pen have seen the American footlights
almost every season. Prominent among
these plays have been Catherine and
Brother jacques" presented by Annie
Russell, and the powerful dialetic drama
The Duel" In which Otis Skinner
scored one Of the finest artistic success
Is Of his career.
Iavedan's silence a few years be-
fore the war was unquestionably due to
his scrupulous development of the theme
Of Service" on which he expended not
only his polished technique but a pro-
found ANALYSIS of his convictions on the
mbtct Of patriotism. The genesis OF
N hliupdrtant. work. dates as. far back
t4z1fkeen years ago. The completed
pl11e saw the Paris footlights shortly

southeast corner of Eighth and Market

short-reei pictures and gave showings at
Ave cents admission. The house did a
thriving business frcm the start. encour-
aging tho managers to foster similar
Enterprises. Their second venture was
! - the northwest corner of Ninth and
Market streets. which also flourished
from Its opening.
n The managers wanted a Chestnut
ttreet location, SO they acquired the
property between Twelfth and Thir-
seenth streets and turned the building
into what was in those days one of the
finest motion picture theatres in the
city. Then Mr.. Mastbaum realized that
the enterprise was but in its infancy
and he began TO secure sites for more
pretentous houses. He built the Bijou
Dream. Princess, Victoria and. with
Stanley V. Mastbaum and Alexander X.
Boyd, the Regent Theatre. lie is =
terested In the Globe. of which he was
! the first manager, and tho theatre at
s33 Market street.
Jules l.. Mastbaum built the Stanley
Theatre in New York city and Is
financially interested In numerous the
aires other than those mentioned in
Philadelphia. He is president of the
Central Amusement Company, president
and general manager of the Stanley
Company and has Affiliations in, the
Cross Keys, Ruby. Broadway and Savoy
