SAN CARLO GIVES FINE
RENDITION OF "GlOCONDA"
Philadelphia Girl Makes Operate
Debut In PonchleIIl Opera

La Gioconda' was given on the
same scale of excellence as has marked
all the performances thus far given by
the San Carlo Opera Company during
Its season at the Metropolitan OperS
House, and the large audience found
much to admire and applaud, not only
In the excellent character of the per-
formance vocally, both as to stars and
chorus, but as to the stage direction,
and the fine costuming. This was cs-
pecially noticeable in the festivities of
the ballroom scene, including the beau
tiful Dance of the Hours" one Of the
finest ballets in any opera, admirably
presented as to color effect, the grace
OF the dancers, and the fine work of the
premiere, Sylvia Tell.
OF special interest to Philadelphians
was the introduction into grand opera
here of Beatrice Eaton, a Philadelphia
girl, daughter of Arthur Il. Eaton, who
sang the role OF LA Cicca," the blind
mother. The work of Miss Eaton was
most artistic, having already reached a
point of professional excellence to COM
pare favorably with those who have
essayed the role here in recent years. She
sang with fine feeling and much beauty
of voice. In her duets her voice blended
finely with that of ''Gioconda," and she
also sang finely her beautiful aria "Voce
di Donna in the first act.
All the roles were we'll sung, but es-
pecially 30 the "Gioconda" of Eliza
beth Amsden; the Emo" of Tommasini,
the Laura of Nina Frescani, the
"Alvise" Of Biasi, and the "Barnaby"
of Joseph Roger. Tommassini's singing
of the popular "Cielo mar" was given
with such fine vocal effect that it called
forth not only spontaneous applause but
peat was demanded, which was gra-
ciously accorded in part.
The duet between Emo" and Bar
naba" in the first act, and the lattcr's
singing Of 20 monumento" in this act
"Barnaba 3" rendering of "Ah. Pesca-
tor and the duet toward the end of the
second act, "Eun anatema," were finely
given and literally applauded.

MARY MILES MINTER
PLAYS DUAL ROLE
IN GALL SOULS EVE"

Photoplay audiences are familiar
with pictures in which their favorite
stars play dual roles. But never be-
fore have they seen a film star

spirit! However, as the little boy with
the box of paints said when he asked
if anybody had ever seen a picture
of the Holy Ghost, ''They are going

"All Souls Eve" adapted for
Mary Miles Minter from the Broad
way success of last season, has
proved one of the most Interestingly
difficult productions of the year in
! the ReaIart Studio. Director Chester
Franklin and Cinematographer Faxon
| Dean had their ingenuity taxed to the
! limit in arranging the double and
triple exposure art 'ghost stuff" re-
quired.
! For the play deals with the return
of a dead mothers spirit on "All
| Souls Eve" when, as a good old Irish
legend has it, all the ghostly world
visits again the haunts of it's tenn
Doral life. Finding her son i'll and her
husband nearly wrecked from grief,
! the soul of the mother passes into
the body of the little Irish nursemaid,
who from that time on looks and acts
like the dead woman, to the conse-
quent comfort of the bereaved ones.
1t is very pretty story, sort of
a feminine Return of Peter Grimm"
but one that has presented amazing
technical difficulties. Plenty of time
and care, however, have sufficed to
/ overcome all obstacles and in a few
months Realart will be ready to re-
lease what they claim is the most I'M
usual photoplay in which Mary Miles
! Minter has ever been seen.

'THE SILVER LINING"
MAGIC CITY TUESDAY

The old saw that "Truth is stranger
than fiction" applies with peculiar
force to the Metro release of the Ro-
land West production, "The Silver
Lining" starring the beautiful
Jewel Carmen. This six-reel feature
picture relates a story that to the
have been the invention of a fertile
fancy, yet it is based entirely upon
truth. 1t is slice of real life as per-
sonally observed by Mr.. West, who
penned the original story and then
directed it for the screen.
The heroine of "The Silver Lin
ing" known as "The Angel" (the
leading role enacted by Miss Car
mem, was a girl born in the Middle
West, who graduated from small
town orphan asylum into the giddy
whirl of the life of the demi-monde.
After many thrilling adventures,
pictured in 1.-THE Silver Lining" she
is today a matron of high social
standing in large eastern city,
where those who move in her exclu-
sive circles have not the slightest idea
that she was at one time part of a
''mob" which caused the police Of
many cities endless trouble.
The tangled skein of roguery and
romance which entraps "the victim"
in the picture is drawn from the en-
thralling adventures of young
author whose literary contributions
have given him no little fame and
who found a story more engrosslng
in his actual life than ever he penned
in the products of his imagination.
AS for the villain of ''The Silver
Lining" he was a confidence man
who for years gave the Federal secret
agents a lot of trouble until he re-
formed and devoted the rest of his
life to tracking down men who like
himself had broken the law. He IS
now living in a foreign land and is a
prosperous man of means whose fund
of information about the doings of the
free and easy is a continual source
of delight to his business associates
and friends.
It is many years since he has
visited his native land, but nearing
that "The Silver Lining" was to be
produced he wrote Mr.. West he would
try to arrange to see the picture,
which contains so much of that part
of his life history which is today
under cover.
! Of the thrilling incident, portrayed
in ''The Silver Lining which formed
the basis for the strange friendship
between the girl and the master
crook, Mr.. West was himself an eye
| witness, and this interesting heart
throb occurring in the busy everyday
life of New York forms one of the
engrossing links in this story thai
proves truth to be stranger than fic-
ton.
D. ]. Buchanan and Charles H
Smith were responsible for the con
tinuity and the motion photography
was by Edward Wynard and Frank
Fucker.
"The Silver Lining" will be showr
at the Magic City Theatre, Tuesday
August 8.

accounting department, returned
Sunday with a very interesting tale
of his narrowing experience travers-
ing the trail between Baton Rouge

teresting features of the trip was the
three-day stopover in their Overland
spent in the swamps the other side of
Ponchatoula. Mr. and Mrs. Andrews
and the four children were forced to
sleep in the car three nights until
they were pulled out. Many other
cars were also stuck along the same

and that God was really not much con-
cerned as to whether a man sat in a
pew or rocking chair or a motorCar
on Sunday, he was, probably, quite
right. Really, 1t was matter much
more important to Mr.. Bling and his
neighbOrs than to God. Indeed. it is
not at all likely that the ruler of the
universe was worrying much about
them. But when J. Patterson Bing de-
cided in favor of fun and fresh air, r.
Purdy-druggist-m a like deci-
sion, and r. Purdy was man of com
handing influence in his own home.
His daughters, Mabel and Gladys, and
his son, Richard, Jr., would not have
been surprised to see him elected
President of the United States, some
day, believing that the honor was only
for the truly great. Soon Mrs. Purdy
stood alone-a hopeless minority of
one-in the household. BY much
pleading and nagging, she kept the
children in the fold of the church for
a time but by and by, grew weary of
the effort. She was converted by nerv-
Gus exhaustion to the picnic Sunday.
Her conscience worried her. She real
ly felt sorry for God and made sundry
remarks calculated to appease and
comfort Him.
Now, all this would seem to have
been in itself matter of slight i'm
portance. But Orville Gates, the SUI
perintendent Of the mill, and John
Seaver, attorney at law, and Robert
Brown, the grocer and Pendleton
Ames, who kept the book and station
cry store, and William Ferguson, the
clothier, and Darwin Sill, the butcher,
and Snodgrass, the carpenter, and 9th
ers had joined the picnic caravan led
by the millionaire. These good peo-
pie would not have admitted it, but
the truth is ]. Patterson Bing held
them all in the hollow of his hand.
Nobody outside his own family had
any affection for him. Outwardly. he
was as hard as nails. But he owned
the bank and controlled credits and
was an extravagant buyer. He had

New leaks were forthcoming, but
Hiram BlenkinsOp conceived the no.
ton of stopping them with poultices
of white lead and bandages of canvas
bound with fine wire. They dripped
and many of the pipes of Bingville
looked as if they were suffering from
sprained ankles and sore threats, but
Hiram had prevented another deluge.
The price of coal had driven the
people of Bingville back to the woods
for fuel. The old wood stoves had
been cleaned and set up in the sitting
rooms and kitchens. The saving had
been considerable. Now, so many men
were putting in their time on the
house and grounds of J. Patterson
Bing and the new factory at Millerton
that the local wood dealer found it
impossible to get the help he needed.
Not twenty-five per cent of the orders
on his books could be filled.
Mr.. Bing'S house was finished in Oc-
tober. Then Snodgrass announced
that he was going to take it
easy, as became a man of his Opu-
lence. He had bought farm and
would only work three days a week at
his trade. Sneed had also bought a
farm and acquired feeling of Opu-
lence. He was going to work when
he felt like It, Before he tackled any
leaking pipes he proposed to make a
few leaks in the deer up in the Adiron-
dacks. SO the roofs and the plumbing
had to wait
Meanwhile, Bingville was in sore
trouble. The ancient roof of it's re-
spectability had begun to leak. The
beams and rafters in the house of its
spirit were rotting away. Many of
the inhabitants of the latter regarded
the great J. Patterson Bing with a
kind of awe-like that of the Shep-
herd of the Birds. He was the leading
citizen. He had done things. When
J. Patterson Bing decided that rest or
fresh air was better for him than bad
music and dull prayers and sermons
