PRESENT NAUGHTY WIFE"
orpheum Players Score Success In
Clever Comedy by Fred jackson

Orpheum-EloIse'F Harrington was not
really as naughty wife az might be
supposed from the title that Fred Jack
son gave the play which is presented by
the Orpheum Players this week. THE
Naughty Wife" Is a clever comedy with
lots of good laughter In the scenes in
the bungalow to which the husband in
duces his wife and the man she thinks
she loves to elope. Hubby and the girl
to whom this man used to be engaged
show them how foolish they are and
everything ends happily AZ married life
does--On the stage.

Ruth Robinson, as the wife, found Their
parts unusually we'll suited to them and
scored unmistakable successes John
W. Lott as the wife's CO. conspirator,

a charming sweetheart that il was al
most impossible to believe any man
would break his engagement to her,

DEL YSIA SEEN in
MUSICAL COMEDY
"Afgar" Is Presented by COM
stock & Gest With Elaborate
Settings and Costumes

Lyric-Alice Delysin made her Phila.
delphia debut last night in another OF
those Comstock and Gest Oriental ex.
travaganzas. "Afgar" Is the name OF
the new one. and II upheld tradition In
its gorgeous costumes, its striking en-
semblcs and its exotic atmosphere.
For those who liked Mecca and
"Aphrodite." and the others OF the
string, "Afgar" will be good entertain,
ment. There Is slightly more story and
slightly less spectacle In 1t which makes
for bit more personality and reality:
The star herself wears series OF
stunning gowns, some of which caused
gasps from the feminine portion OF the
audience. Although the part does not
call for particularly strong acting, she
succeeds in making the role of Iaydee'
favorite wife of Lord Agar, n sufti-
ciently interesting and vital person.
Tim O'Connor, the featured come
dian, Is of the cockney English type,
whose main attribute is remarkable
double -jointed dancing ability, which
won him repeated applause. W. II.
Rawlins as Lord Agar is comedian
more along American lines, and his work
Is always satisfactory. Bradford Kirk
bride is the handsome hero, and Jeanne
Casello as his inamorata makes decid /.
edly the most pleasing impression of all
the feminine contingent Of the long cast.
The show Is elaborately mounted and
the bizarre quality of the costuming may
be forgiven in view of the nature of the
spectacle. The music. while not of the
catchy variety, Is also in keeping with
the plot. and often has On Oriental Tilt.
The chorus contains many shapcly and
attractive girls who can both dance and
sing In a satisfactory manner.

lord FAUNTLEROy"
A FILM ARIST0CRAT
Claude Cillingwater Does Nota-
BILE Bit of Acting in Mary
Pickford's Latest Story

AIdine-The aristocrat Of the film
table
That's about what Little Lord
Fauntleroy" is, after all is said, pro
and con. approbative and critical. about
this latest Mary Pickford picture.
And by the word aristocratic is not
meant everything that Is excellent. This
film is not that. 1t is a trihe slow
moving in parts, sometimes overwhelm-
ing in its grandeur. dignified, in per-
feet taste, and exactly the kind of
picture you like to meet and, hgura-
lively. shake by tho hand.
Little Lord Fauntleroy' might also
be described as a combination of
Thnckeray and the Elsie books. One
minute you are admiring It's good taste
and good breeding and the next you are
laughing at some of the naivetes of its
story. But whatever faults the picture
may have they lie in the story Of Mrs.
It's filming If you are willing to take
this famous but inconseQuential juve-
nile classic as gospel, you cannot, no
matter how captious, criticize the way
the story has been filmed.
1t may seem like "lese majesty" to
make of Mary Pickford a second men
ton; but If the truth be faithfully re-
corded, the dominant figure Of Little
Lord Fauntleroy," in fact. one Of the
most unusual figures that has ever ap-
pcared upon the screen, is Claude Gil
lingwater as the Earl of Dorincourt.
Here is q film classic-nothing less.
Here Is the aristocrat to the finger
tips who can make you thrill at his
domincering personality one minute and
cry at his parting from Cedric the next.
If Gillingwnter is not given the role
of Colonel Newcome or Major PEN
dennis in a filmed Thackeray, the pic
ture people have no sehse Of the fitness
of things. And, furthermore, why,
when the pictures took George Fawcett
and Theodore Roberts, did they neg
lGCt this actor, par excellence, of the
old school?
Of Little Mary" much could be
said, but little need be. In her dual
role capacity she adds no laurels to her
histrionic string, but let it be added no
actress alive could have in such roles.
She makes the most charming picture
she has ever presented as Dearest
and she Is sufficiently rollicking as
Cedric to offset her manifest girlish-
ness. Her acting Is always in perfect
taste and full of her usual artistic sim
plicity.
The shadow of Husband Douglas
Fairbanks appeared in Mary's marvel

back of her boy opponent.
If Mr.. Gillingwater is the perfect
aristocrat (such as the screen has never

HUNGARIAN ARTISTS APPEAR
Unusual and Atmospheric Concert
Given at Wltherspoon Hall

A concert given by four Hungarian
musicians Of varied degrees of excel
lenCe was given last evening at Wither-
spoon Hall before an audience made up
almost exclusively of their own coun-
trymen resident in Philadelphia. The
intimacy which made itself manifest at
the very start of the concert between
the audience and the performers made
the performance unique in the history
Of the present season.
The concert opened with a. Hungarian
Rhapsody, played for the first time
last evening, the performer and the
composer being one and the same per
son, Mr.. Antalffy. The composition
was long and uninteresting, containing
some good musical material of the
Hungarian national type, but developed
badly and only indifferently performed.
Mr.. Antalffy's technique not being
equal to his Imaginative flights.
Nine. keury, who appeared twice on
the program, sang in Hungarian the
first d me and in English the second. Her
first language was evidently quite as
familiar to the audience ea the second
If indeed not more so, and her humor
and self possession more than made up
for any vocal lack which may have
manifested itself She made a great
hit and was cncorcd, responding with
songs which were quite as successful
as the original ones
! Mr. Kerekjarto, the violinist, how
ever, was the star OF the concert, and
deservedly so. He has the genuine
"tEiguenger' GYPSY, as nearly as the
word can be rendered into English
style Of playing, which may almost be
considered as an independent art, 10
rarely is 1t heard az Mr.. Kerekjarto
gave it last evening. He wisely confined
the number on his program to compost
tons demanding this style, which he
gives perfectly, with its violently con
trasted tempt, rhythns and dynamics
demanding facile bow, much precision
of the left hand and an absolute knowl
edge Of the harmoircs, both natural and
artificial, possible on the violin. The
concert was both UNIQUE and enjoyable
