own titles" Perhaps, in the new pic
ture, "The Woman Next Door," at the
Strand, they are not quite so annoying
as in the previous picture, but they
are stilted and at all times lack sophis-
tication. One of the titles says al may
be away for several weeks-perhaps
even longerl"
The Woman Next Door" is filled
with people who are, as Irwin Cobb
says, Highly improbable because IL
sounds SO snobbsh to say that they
are impossible"
We had been asked 10 believe so
much that we were really surprised
when Randolph Schuyler recognized his
own wife in "Vicky Van" We ex-
pected that the black wig would so
completely change her that he would
just go on and fall in love with this
mysterious beauty. But fortunately he
recognized her and SO some one killed
him and gave Chester Calhoun chance
to declare his love.
Miss Clayton is Ruth Endicott, who
is, oh, so joyous and happy until her
aunt forces here to marry old Randolph
Schuyler for his money. Randolph has
two sisters, who are. oh, so puritanicai
and hatefull So Ruth's life is not so
pleasant.
And then an uncle dies and leaves
her S253 900. Now, Il quarter of
million is not so much money IN the
movies, but it surely was enough to
insure freedom for Ruth. But did she
leave the brute? She did not! She
bought the house next door. 1852 Fifth
Avenue. to be exact and had q door
cut through.
We don't know much Of the value
of Fifth Avenue property, but 1t did
seem as though after buying this house
and furnishing it that she wouldn't
have had so much left to spend on the
parties which Nicky Van gave. Al
any rate, she met man whose ONLY
recommendation so far as we could
see was that he was young, and after
some one killed her husband she mar
ried the young man
But we are not going to tell who
killed Randolph Schuyler, because that
Ruth having been suspected of it.
Miss Clayton does wonders with u
thankless part. Others IN the cast are
y oah Berry, rs the husband; Jane
Wolff, as the nurse, and Emory John
son as the lover

trustees to preach in his fathers pull
pit. He delivered an address upon the
Book of Esther 1t was scholarly, elo-
quent and impressive. But it was re-
marked there had been no mention of
the Deity
Adherents and Opponents
Then it was that the adherents and
opponents OF the young man separated
into two camps. Some argued that he
had wonderful future in the pulpit
ministry. Others said his failure to
mention God indicated lack of faith
Young Adler was privately advised that
he ought not to assume the duties of a
rabbi, but he was also privately ad-
vised that he ought not to abandon the
idea of being a public teacher.
Young Adler needed the advice
wholly. His decision came after much
elaboration. Some Of the members of
his fathers own congregation Joined
with him in the plans for the Society
for Ethical Culture.
Public meetings were planned and it
was found they attracted Jew and
Gentle alike, men and women who
were pondering the problems of right
living, but had been perplexed as they
wandered through the mazes of theol-
ogy. They went to the meetings of the
society because there they heard teach
ing upon the problems they had pom
dered.
From this small beginning the So
ciety grew. 1t was hindered for years
because Jew was the leader and this
Jew had turned from q rabbits Office.
But the fact that Jews and Gentiles
alike were attracted to the Sunday
morning lectures, the fact that the
teaching was universal in its applica-
ton, ultimately broke down the bar
riers of prejudice.
To-day the society has it's own home
on Central Park West. Its membersh ip
is numbered in the thousands.
There was no service in the build
ing yesterday. The year of public
teaching came to an end the preceding
Sunday. Dr. Adler will have a rest
and renew his preaching in the fall. He

Ysaye and Elman Heard
In Their Last Joint Concert

Eugen Ysaye and Mischa Elman ap-
peared last night at the Hippodrome in
what was announced to be their last
joint recital for all time. Concert
Temps by Mozart and by D. Alard, a
suite Of Moskowski's and the Bach
double concerto comprised their pro-
gramme.
The Hippodrome is far from being an
ideal place for music of this intimate
kind, the subtleties Of which are lost in
the echoing spaces of so large hall.
1t was, however, hardly large enough to
hold the throng Of those desiring to
hear these two artists last night. They
were received with great enthusiasm.

On the Screen
Dorothy Cish and Richard
Barthelmess in Excellent
Roles at Rivoli

III Get Him Yet at the Rivoli is
an amusing story of a newspaper re-
porter, who refused to marry the girl
he was in love with because she had
so much money.
Dorothy Gish and Richard Barthel-
mess play the leading roles, with
George Faucet thrown in for good
measure, which is enough to assure
the success of any comedy.
We liked the picture in It's early
stages, while 1t was comedy, better than
we did later when it became farce, but
even at that we have no fauls to find
with it.
Miss Gish played with admirable re-
preston considering the temptations
the script offered, and she gave de-
llghttul performance. She has to bear
IN mind that she is just about twice
as funny as any other comedienne to
start of with and play accordingly.
Lillian Gish said TO US yesterday: Dor
othy IS the funniest person you ever
listened TO. She can think of more
clever things in one minute than I
could think of in my whole lifetime. "
And Richard rthelmess's part was
SO much like himself that we could
only sit back and say. well, we'll,
Richard is himself again' Under the
circumstances We know that Richard
would act just as Scoop McCreedy
acted
Susy Faraday Jones-that is, Dorothy
Gish--owned part of a railroad and
she commanded the trains not to stop
at Everdale. And then after she was
married she went there to live and
she wanted them to stop.
Susy and Scoop fell in love with
each other when Scoop went to get
story for The Tribune about Susy's
party Oh, yes, of course, we news
paper persons do meet lots of inter
esting people, but Scoop wasn't the
real society editor. That mattered
not to SuSy, however. She just said
yes and sent Scoop in to ask papa,
who owned the rest of the railroad
that Susy didn't own.
But papa bad Just had a glimpse
of his income tax, and after announc-
ing that he hadn't agreed to pay for
the whole war he kicked Scoop out
and called him fortune hunter.
! Susy rushed to the telephone and
sought to pacify Scoop, but he was
filled with ire and stated plainly that
Susy and daddy could both go to
Everdale
SO Susy vowed vow "Ill get him
yet and she followed him until at
last he fell exhausted and they were
married. This is when the story really
begins, for Susy is indiscreet and
Scoop IS jealous, and situations just
viii arise.

ter Strong play three disappointed
lovers of Susy's. The story is by Harry
Carr. 1t was directed by Elmer Cliff

One OF the most popular preachers in
the city is not preacher at all in the
commonly accepted sense of the term.
He is the head Of the Society for
Ethical Culture. which he and a few
adherents founded nearly half a CEN
tury ago after it had been determined
that the formal pulpit was no place for
him
He is DR.. Felix Adler, who has
stamped his impress on the city as
few Of It's public teachers have stamped
theirs. His Society for Ethical Culture
is one of the most widely approved in
fuences for good in the city. Yet it
took many years to live down the
prejudices against it. For it was be-
lieved that the society came into being
to form refuge for a group of un-
orthodox Jews, men who thought as
did DIR. Adler
To understand these prejudices it is
necessary 10 know something Of the
circumstances that led to the founding
of the society. DR. Adler's father had
been rabbi of the Temple Emmanuel.
The son was destined for the preach
ing ministry, and many felt he would
be called TO succeed his father.
On his return from Germany the
young Felix Adler was invited by the
