"THE AUCTTONEER" AS
GREAT A HIT AS EVER
David Warfield Again Delights
Audience in Old Success
at the Garrick

If some of the farces and comedies,
musical or straight, now being offered
theatregoers could draw just half the
number of hearty, spontaneous laughs
ms "Tbe Auctioneer, revived last night
Mt the Garrick by the two Davids-
Wartield and Belasco-their producers
md the "angels' whose money b9ck
them might well rub their hands in glee.
Every line of the piece that tickled
the risiblities of audiences of gen
Grafton ago got across with the same
effect last night OF course Warheld s
remarkable creation of Simon Levi, the
beloved old Hebrew, the apostle of hap
piness and the Golden Rule of Hester
estreet, is still the vital. formidable and
dominant feature of the play. Mr..
Warfield's characterization, while per
.haps not so notable as his impersona-
tions in 1.-The Music Master and 1.-The
Return of Peter Grim" apparently
lives in the hearts of Philadelphia play
goers. Judging from the big first night
crowd present.
His worksin 1.-THE Auctioneer" takes
Warfield back to the specially which
first brought him fame and popularity
In vaudeville, and several times last
night there were flashes of the old
Hebrew comedian of years gone by.
Tho sympathy of the audience goes
out to the old man who is at times
bold, watchful, suspicious and timid, as
he knows joy, want, worry and woe.
Simon Levi, as presented by Warfield,
is wholesomely suggestive, stimulating
and inspiring. The star occasionally
rises to lofty dramatic planes in his
titful tumults of noble passion and in
turns of full majestic tenderness.
Mr.. Warfield is not the only one of
the cast whose efforts shine. There is
the delicious comedy of Marie Bates,
as Mrs. Egan, and the splendid por-
trayal Of Mrs. Levi by Jennie Mosco
WITT. Helena Phillips is worth while as
Mrs. Leavitt, as is Harry Rogers as
Meyer Cohen. Others who contribute
to the merit of the performance are
Harry Lewellyn, Louis Hendricks,
Guy Milham, Lorna Napier, Bessie
Fooks and Alf Helton. The remainder
are uniformly good.

VATICAN CHO|RS
SING RARE WORKS
Unusual Works of Great Beauty
Given at the Metropolitan
Opera House

Italy has long sent to us the best
she has produced in opera, both singers
I and composers. but last evening was the
! first time that Philadelphia ever has
heard her best in the line of religious
singing. About sixty members of the
Vatican Choirs, under the leadership of
Monsignor Maestro Raffaele Casimiro
Casimiri, gave Il concert Mt the Metro
politan Opera House before an audi
cnce that filled the structure to it's doors
and left fringe of auditors, some five
or six deep, standing behind the brass
rail.
The concert was almost in the nature
of n religious service, as every number
on it with the exception of one motct
hv palestrina was religious in charac-
ter.
The choirs are composed of about
sixty voices and they sing with per-.
fection of vocal ensemble that has never
before been equaled by any body of
singers appearing in this city, even re-
membering the wonderful work of the
I Russian Cathedral Choir at st. Mark s
Church two years ago. The parts are
[ exceedingly well balanced, the Gre
scendos and diminuendos (the most diff
ficult ensemble effect in music) are vir-
4 tually perfect and the attacks and re-
leases of notes are as though one per-
u son were singing. The singers are alb
y solutely under the control of Monsignor
b Casimiri who has made, life long
y study of the Italian ecclesiastical music
and conducts with the idea of getting
the utmost religious effect out of the
music as well as showing it's beauty of
contrapuntal writing and of outline.
The tone quality of the choirs is gen
orally fine. In the pianissimos it is very
beautiful, but in the fortissimos there
was an occasional tendency of certain
of the higher parts to force the tone
a little, while of course the slightly acid
quality, inseparable from the use of boy
sopranos, was always present. The
same thing, but perhaps to a lesser de-
gree, exists among the altos, but the
tenors were superb and the basses very
fine.
More than half of the program was
made up of the works of Palestrina,
mostly of five part motets. There were
two numbers by Vittoria, one by Via =
dana and one by Maestro Casimiri him
SELF Naturally all the compositions
followed the Journalism which was the
chief characteristic of sacred music, and
! of secular music, too, at the time of
their composition.
1t is unnecessary to go into the pro :
gram in detail. Probably the finest
number on it was the "Ave Maria" of
yittorio, truly exquisite work full of
the deepest religious and emotional feel :
ing and beautifully sung. The same
characteristics We're apparent in the
four part motets "Nigra Sum- and
'tExultate Deo" of Palestrina. Mon
signor Casimiri's composition is fine
religious work written for six parts. II
follows the style of Palestrina in its
general outlines, but the melodic curves
are freer, the modulations more modern
and the part writing less formal. The
concert was one long to be remembered
not only from its rarity, but from its
actual musical beauty as well.

THEATRES PLENTY

Wis "A Wis. Vera Sision may be recalled
by movie fans for her work in other
pieces, as will James Neill.
Palace - In "Broken Blossoms" au-
diences are privileged to see a
masterpiece in photoplay construction
and direction that tells touching story
Of the love of an oriental for an occi =
dental. Pure and good is that love
which finds its elimination in the death
Of the two sweethearts. The thrilling
dramatic scenes which lead UP to this
climax are effectively directed by ID. W:
Griffith. Lillian Gish and Richard
Barthlemess are the important players.
Remaining PhotOplays - George
Bebnn. in his fine character acting in
Hearts of Men," is at the Alhambra,
and Human Desire" holds forth at the
Imperial, with Anita Stewart in the big
role. Wolves of the Night is on the
Great Northern screen, with William

King Baggot in the leading role at the

"UP FROM NOWHERE"
LIGHT BUT BRIGHT
Tarkington-WiIson Comedy Of
New Americans" Has Slender
Theme, but Amusing Dialogue

Even Booth Harrington and Harry
Leon Wilson in their most fine spun
collaboration in the past have not sue
ceeded in alternating a slender theme
to such IL hairline of plot and situation
as they have effected in Cup From No
where" And this is not neglecting to
remember "The Man From Home"
Yet though it is flimsy in material and
insecure in construction it proved highly
agreeable to last nights audience at the
Adelphi, which testified to its pleasure
in numerous curtain calls to all the
cast and particularly to the featured
player, Norman Trevor, who made a
speech. and Cecil Yapp, who. gave n
droll impcrsonation of a retired sea
captain
This favor of reception was due pri-
marliy to the tang and SAVIOR of the
dialogue. "Up From Nowhere" is one
of that variety of static dramas in
which the pertness and patness of the
conversation between the various dra
mats personae takes the fancy of audi
enccs and to such an extent that they
do not bother about the implausbility
of the situations or the sketchiness of
the charaCterizations.
Mr.. Trevor's acting was very finely
fitted to his role. Cecil Yapp. remem
bered from the New Theatre Company,
was a sort of 'deus ex machina" to
keep the plot moving when it needed
winding up again his characterization
was highly amusing. The other acting
honors belonged to Margolo Gilmore,
who played fetchingly and always in
the picture, the role of the youngest
daughter. Ann Aiftlrews as the blue
blooded girl with numerous ancestors
was rather ineffective in the first two
acts, but attained some emotional dis
tinction in the third act situation-the
only situation in the play-where she
casts conventions and the rules of con-
duct of high society to the winds and
spends an unchaperoned evening with
the magnate, who for the time being is
very much the cave man.

THE OLD HOMESTEAD
REVIVED AT WALNUT
William Lawrence Seen in Den-
man Thompson's Famous
Old Role

With the good old fashioned humor
and pathos which has ever won the
hearts of the American theatregoer,
Denman Thompson's classic of the
American stage, 'The Old Home
stead" was revived for the thirty third
time last night at the Walnut Street
Theatre.
To many thousands of Americans
this appealing play of quaint New Eng
land folk life needs no introduction.
The character of Uncle Joshua, in
which Mr.. Thompson became famous,
is ably filled by William Lawrence, and
the supporting cast is excellent. 1t is
also quite apropos that this revival Of
the old time masterpiece should take
place in the Oldest theatre in America
