ADJUSTMENTS
At the Rialto.

A genuine American photoplay at
last THE Old Nest" story OF
mother love and self-sacrifice COM
mon to every family the world over.
which was shown at the Rialto the
atre last night, is the work of Ru-
pert hughes, the eminent American
novelist. 1t was produced by Cold
wyn and directed by Reginald
Barker. There is humor and there
are tears IN this plain story OF daily
life as we all know It. Not per-
son in the audience was free from
the grip of it's appeal
II you like to laugh. If you enjoy
gentle weeping spell, if you want
to see yourself, your brothers and
sisters, your father and your moth
er on the screen, go and see The
Old Nest
While this story is gripping, it
has a different hold on the emo
tons than the usual thriller There
isn't one melodramatic scene. Yet
this picture held the audience at
the Rialto theatre more strongly
than any other meIodrama ever
filmed. And the reason is that THE
Old Nest" is a genuine story, beau
tRully acted and excellently pro-
duced. We have never seen one
woman portray the gradually aging
mother so deity as Mary Alden

noted composer, which is itself is
said to be an evenings entertain
ment and Arthur White, conductor
of the Fort Armstrong concert or
chestra, has augmented the orches-
ira for the event.
There are many reasons which
give authority to the bid for ever
lasting fame made on behalf of this
photoplay. First of all, the Dumas
novel and the memoirs of D'Artag-
nan embody the greatest wealth OF
filmabIe material ever uncovered.
Only the imagination of q Dumas
could devise the amazing exper-
fences participated in by those four
inseparable comrades, D'Artagnan
and the three musketeers. Athos.
Porthos and Aramis. And the part
of the dashing D'Artagnan is made
to order for the indomitable Doug.
Add to this fact that the adapta-
ton, costuming and required re-
search were under the supervision
of that celebrated playwright and
scholar on history, Edward Knob
lock, author of ''Milestones," "Kis-
met" Tiger, Tiger" MY Lady's
Dress" and -Shulamite"; and the
direction was in the hands OF Fred

The second week OF the San Carlo
Opera Company began at the Manhat-

evidence of prosperity. In fact the audi

season. Some authorities said II was
caused by the Jewish holiday and others
that 1t was Just because the evenings a
entertainment consisted OF those two
condensed italian tragedies. "Cavailc-

are well aware that this time honorcd

thusiastic audience.
In these days opera TO be popular has
to be exciting, not so much dramatically
as vocally. Every one must have plenty
of loud music to sing and many oppor

Of the scale. 'Cavaileria" and "pag-
liacci'' are operas of this type, and they
arouse the loud bravo" in all its glory
The works were given at the Manhattan
Opera House last evening with immense
vigor. with swing and with occasional
excursions into the realm OF pure music.

Miss Georgia Caine in "The
O'Brien Girl"
George NJ. Cohan's Latest Pro-
duction Full of Good Music
and Well Sung.

George M. Cohan. in spite of his asser-
tions to the contrary, did not seem In
the least retired about the region Of the
Liberty Theatre last night. Indeed his
latest musical play. THE OBrien Girl"
was sung before an audience which
V elcomed 1t warmly. There were no
signs of a disposition to stop on the part
of the author. The audience found '"rhe
OBrien Girl quite as vivacious In ac-
tion and dialogue as Mary" even II IL
does not happen to possess Love
Nest"
Mr.. Cohan's new heroine is a second
cousin to one that figured In tale Of
o. Henry's. She is a stenographer. but
with her savings decides to have one
fine vacation Of kind she never knew
before. When she arrives at the most
expensive of the Adirondack resorts
we know It, but will not mention the
name-she finds there her employer and
his family. Well, yes, she does marry
the son but not right away. There are
various rather dramatic happenings, in
cluding a rescue before the two are
united. But there is nothing at any time
to interfere with the typical flow OF
Cohan fun.

dancing is also there along with the

e. M. SCOCNAMlLLO,
FRIEND OF CARUSO, DIES
Grief for Tenor Believed to
HaUe Hosfened End.

Enrico NJ Scognamillo. a boyhood
friend OF Enrico Caruso, one of his
closest associates during all the time the
great tenor was in New York, who ac-
companied him on his last trip to
Europe and was with him when he died,

Independent means and wherever Caruso
went he went too. He was Of great
stature and weighed in health about 400
pounds. He was well known at the Met
ropolitan Opera House and was often
tokingly referred to as Carusos body
guard or his guardian.
When Caruso was stricken here Scog-
namillo elso became i'll. When the
singer and his family went to Italy Mr..
and Mrs. Scognamillo and their son and
daughters, fourteen and twelve years
old. respectively, were In the party.
They went first to the same hotel in
Sorrento and remained near him until
Caruso died In Naples. After that
Scognamillo suffered relapse and was
taken to a -sanitarium near Genoa. The
change did him no good and he was
taken back to Naples. where his brother
lives.
Mrs. Scognamiilo, who is known in
business here as Mime. Binner. had left
her husband in Italy seemingly much
improved in health to return to New
York and was on the ocean when noti-
fled by wireless OF his death. Their
New York home is at ESQ West Ninety
