On the Screen
THE Sign Invisible" Is Feat
ured at the Rivoli-
Greek Evans Sings

Material which has been used hun
dred times as the basis of photo
drama is used once more in "The Sign
Invisible" the featured picture at the
Rivoli this week.
There is the man who loses his faith
in God and, worshpping Bacchante, is
not reformed until he travels in the
Canadian wilds; there is the sweet
natured halfbreed and the minister's
daughter, who loves the reprobate. And
still, this is so different. "The Sign
Invisible" was directed by Edgar Lewis
1t has as it's martyr the wonderful
Mitchell Lewis, and Victor Sutherland
is the hero. However, we shuddered
now and then as we allowed our mind
to dwell on what the picture might
have been, had it been done by certain
persons whom we could name.
Victor Sutherland plays with won
derful repression and charm. One feels
that this is cerebral as we'll as cardiac
The scene where he is told of his
mothers death is one of the best bits
of acting we have seen on the screen
in some time. He almost snatches the
laurels from the brow Of Mitchell
Lewis.
Lewis is cast for halfbreed, Lone
Deer, but his chances are not so great
as in some of his previous pictures.
Mabel Julienne Scott rather disap-
pointed u.s. We didn't remember that she
used to move so spasmodically and
at times tempestuously. TO our mind
she dld not convey pleasant impress
sion of Jeanette Mercier.
Sutherland is Dr.. Winston, a Young
surgeon, who renounces his faith in
God because he loses patient after
patient, and finally his own mother
dies under the knife Later in the
Canadian timber country his faith is
restored The production is magnit-
cent, and one can see the hand of
Edgar Lewis, an entirely human di-
rector, everywhere. That, too, is the
sign invisible. The outdoor scenes are
out OF the ordinary. Hedda Nova ap-
pears in the picture, but not as often
as one could wish.
With the Tai Mahal as a background
and the male chorus garbed as British
East Indian troops, Greek Evans is
making his initial appearance at the
Rivoh. He sang "On the Road to
Mandelay," and it was so inspiring tha
the audience tried to wiring from him
that other favorite, Danny Deever,"
but in vain.

with Hugo Riesenfeld and Erno Rapee
conducting. Eugene Manetti, Pauline

curious crowd of boys and men

with color, flowers and girs--a strange
sight for dingy Ann Street at o'clock
IN the evening 1t was the opening

the Young Women's Christian Asso-

Through the medium OF these societies
it is expected that contributions to the

time inculcate the habit~of thrift IN
New York's millions of workers.
The weeks campaign in behalf of war

Hotel guests will soon be giving their
tips in thrift stamps. The fifty bellboys
at the Hotel McAlpin, who yesterday
formed the Hotel McAlpin Uniformed d
Service War Savings Society of New
York, will be the first recipients in this
city of the new kind of gratuities. Ac-
cording to the War Savings Committee,
similar organizations will be spon-

To those who regard tips as neces-

Valeska Suratt at Colonial

Valeska Suratt is presenting herself
at the Colonial this week in a little
play called "The Purple Poppy" Miss
Suratt IS right in her glory and she
does what she does extremely we'll We
like her much better when we can hear
her than when we merely can see her.
The story is Of Russian girl who seeks
to avcnge the death nf her brother.
She does it by strangling his assassin
IN a way which proved most crafty
lng, to the audience at any rate.
In the cast in support of Miss Suratt
are Howard Hall, Joseph CRANKY and
William Turner.
James and Bonnie Thornton, the
youngest Of the oldtimers, received a
regular ovation. Bonnie confessed to
sixty three, but she looks triAe
younger than that; say, forty years
younger. She appeared in big white
leghorn nat and an organdie frock, and
sang "Annie Rooney" the way she used
to sing it at Tony Pastors thirty years
ago. At least, she said it was the way
She used to sing it then.
She gave her recipe for keepine
young and for keeping husband. She
has had hers, she said for thirty-Gve
years.
Then James had his fling and told
the old jokes and some new ones. and
when their time was up the audience
expressed their delight to the tune of
twcnty encorcs.
Harry Watson, Jere Delaney and
Reginald Merville are appearing in a
melange of mirth and melody called
"RUbeville." 1t is quite a pretentious
offering.
Others on the programme are Horace
Wright and Rene Dietrich in some
what different songs, Camilla's Birds,
presenting the Roman chariot. the
skirt dance and other numbers; Lloyd
and Wells, the syncopated steppers
from the Sunny South; Joe Morris and
Flossie Campbell and Brenck's bronze
horse. II. y.

Federation

plea for support of the Admins-
tration and "criticism only when con-
structivc' was made yesterday after
noon by Mrs. August Belmont to four
hundred women, members of the Ma
tional Civic Federation, at meeting
at the Cosmopolitan Club, 1876 East
Fortieth Street. Mrs. Belmont has lust
returned from tour of France and
England, and her address was, in the
nature of war message to the fedora
ton.
Don't underrate what the United
States is doing in this war;" said Mrs.
Belmont. Don't undermine the conf
dence Of the American people in the
government. That's just what the Ger
mans want us to do, so that the bad
news may filter back to the American
troops in France and break down their
spirit and enthusiasm. | have Just
seen our boys, and when I left them
their morale was splendid. They had
and were all anxious to get into tho
fight as soon as possible. We can we'll
be proud of them
Must Do Part Here
But that morale will fail if we don't
keep it uplifted with fine, courageous
helpfulness. If we must criticize, let
our criticism be constructive. America
has done wonderful things since her
declaration of war, and Americans
should not be the last to recognize
them"
Mrs. Belmont also warned the women
against entertaining hopes of an early
peace.
"ln France peace is not mentioned"
she said. "Do not think peace or talk
peace over here. That only weakens
our fighting spirit and makes peace
slower to come. Break the chain of
gossip that comes to you about peace,
about army scandals, about inetiicency.
Just keep on working for the war, help
ing solve the problems-doing, not
talking"
Englands part in the war Mrs. Bel
mont described as "magnihcent."
Owe all know and appreciate what
France has done," she said. "And
follow no one in paying tribute to the
glory of France, her poilu. But Eng
land, stanch old England, has been just
as fine in this war, and our debt of
gratitude to her is great. Her army,
twenty times the size OF the 1914 army,
has fought in nine countries; she has
loaned s5O0, 100000 to her allies; she
has kept the seas clear"

$4,000 More tuberculosis
Hospital Beds Wanted

The National Association for the
Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis
announced yesterday that $4,000 more
tuberculosis hospital beds would be
needed in this country to check the
tendency of the disease to spread more
swiftly under war conditions. There
are now $4,000 such beds.
Investigations by the association
have led TO the conclusion that there
are probably between 100000 and
100000 active cases in the country
row, instead of 100000 as had previ-
ously been estimated The new estt-
mate, it was explained. was based upon
more careful inquiry and did not mean
the increase IN cases that it seemed to
indicate.
New-York tribune., 1918-02-26

Nomical farce, rather than fnrcical
comedy, would seem to be the most
hitting description of "Sick- Bed" It
IS farce OF the robust order, not sick
led DER with the pale cast of thought,
but piece Of foolishness wthal that
contains much genuine merrymaking.
AS the title suggested to the astute
theatregoer, it had somewhat to do
with doctors. 1t was not, however, a
satire on the medical profession, or
on quacks, in spite of numerous sug-
gestions of a heritage from Moliere's
imaginary Invalid" The alleged doc
tors wcrc out-and-out rogues.
The story starts out breezily along
the lines Of "Divorcons" up to date.
Reginald Jay, although over thirty, had
guardian, John Weems, with whom
he had been travelling abroad. The
doings of Mr.. Weems in Madrid had
reached the ears Of his young wife
and she had resolved upon a divorce
recalling opportunely that she had a
great fondness for Reginald. In order
TO avoid appearing as witness against
his guardian, Reginald consented to
pass for sick abed. A LAWYER found
little difficulty in obtaining medical
practitioners to swear that Repina]d
was suffering from nervous prostra-
tlon, and from that point most of tho
iun was manufactured out of this
imaginary malady.
IN the first act the foolishness was

earnest. The danger Of their be;n~

suggestive of Molierc, whose phvsj-
clans and apothecaries had the motive
OF keeping the imaginary invalid in
ms lnteresting condition for the sake
OF their income. Poor Reggie was
trlcked into swallowing a dose calcu
