THEATRICAL REVIEWS :-::
LYRIC,


 The PoH Players are presenting that highly interesting dramatic success, :The Marriage Question at the Lyric theatre this week. Nothing of such vital interest to so large a number of persons has ever been presented on an American stage.
 ''The Marriage Question" as DOT trayed in this delightful production is in reality an answer to many ques- tions which are of interest to both the married folks and. those who have not yet entered the bonds of matri- mony. Among the questions that are answered are several that come into the minds of many right-thinkinE people. One of these is: Should any person enter into a loveless mar riage?" Another is: Should a hus- band sacrifice his wife's happiness for business, leaving her alone too much or too often?"
 Despite the seriousness of the title it is not all tragedy, as the author has injected enough Of comedy into some of the situations to relieve their tense ness. Of course there is a pIetty love story fnterwoven and the end is en- tireIy different from what one might expect as the various scenes are un- folded.

Since Elsie Ferguson returned from Miami, Fla, to resume work in an- other new picture "The Witness for the Defense" a number of unusual artistic sets have been erected on the studio floor. One of these sets, large tent, of the king used in India, surrounded by tropical vegetation and embellished with numerous inn plements of native warfare, offered a picturesque background for an epi- sode that will long be remembered by those who witness 1t on the silver sheet. Another set represented an old English garden and has been de- clarcd as the most beautiful ever con- ccived by studio architects.

The news that Earle Williams in his new picture The Usurper'' will play the part of cowboy is as un- expected as would be the announce ment that fighting Bill Duncan was going to quit defying death in ser ials and go in for polite parlor come dies. Some of the envious ones out in the film Colonies-some of the boys who always play cowboy parts say that the Williams picture is rightly named and that Earle Will Hams Is a ''usurper" for stealing their stuff. But Earle smiles wisely and tells them to keep their sombreros on. He only does the cowboy stuff in the early part of the picture for the sake of a bit of characterization necessary for the development of the story.

FEDERAL FARcE-cOMEDY

T'HE governments suit for the dissolu-
1 ton of the United States Steel Cor
poration has at last reached the Supreme
Court, where federal attorneys are
asking that the action of the lower courts
in sustaining the legality of the cor
poration be overruled.
The corporation was organized twenty
two years ago. 1t controls less than so
per cent of the steel business of the
country. In spite of its existence Mr..
Schwab was able to organize the Bethle-
hem Steel Company and get all the busi-
ness that he could take care of; but the
lawyers want to disorganize it as they
disorganized the Standard Oil Company.
The dissolution of the Rockefeller oil
trust is one of the standing jokes of fed
eral litigation. Its effect was to increase
the value of the shares of the companies
dissolved and to leave the control of the
oil business in the same hands that man
aged it before the dissolution. The per-
sistence of the federal attorneys in the
steel prosecution can be understood only
on the theory that they believe that one
successful farce justifes staging another
of the same kind.

HOW TO HELP A GOOD MAYOR

MIR. TAFT enjoys a keen sense of the
4'l practical. He discloses it repeatedly
in his league fnations campaigning. He
emphasized it significantly at the joint
meeting of the four welfare organza
tions which are pooling their interests to
finance a comprehensive plan of civic
betterment of Philadelphia. "The mayor
of a great city," declared the exPresi
dent, "cannot know everything, but must
depend on the statements of his sub
ordinates."
Phladelphians are justified IN expect
ing j. Hampton Moore to do his best for
the city. But they are inclined, as hu-
manity often is concerning a chosen
executive, to associate omniscience with
high Office. With the best of intentions,
Mr. Moore will need the utmost co-opera-
ton, carefully collated facts, explicit in
formation in order to capitalize his au-
thority in the prime interests of the
town.
The Philadelphia Housing Association.
the Public Education and Child Labor
Association and the Bureau of Municipal
Research are in league to raise S265,OOO
to carry on their work to the best ad-
vantage of the community Financially
armed they can assist Mr.. Moore in
countless ways. In fact, it is the prov
ince of the whole body of citizens to aid
the prospective Mayor to execute his
aims wisely and efficiently. Despite a
virile personality he cannot institute re-
forms single-handed.
Responsibility of the individual citizen
does not end in insuring the election
of an able Mayor. Every man can help
to some extent. A direct and forceful
method of assistance will be the quick
contribution of the sum which these prac-
tical and respected welfare organizations
desire
