irish EYES" OPENS
SEASON AT ADELPHI
Walter Scanlan Assumes Man.
tie Of OIcott, Mack and O'Hara
With Songs Of Old Sod

Adelphi-Fashions in shows NAV come
and go but there will always be, so It
seems, large popuiGce to patrouize
the conventional comedy Of "Oid Ire
land. with it's Irish brogue and its
matched cottages and its tales Of simple
honest folk, with silver voiced tenor
to warble about mavournepns and
machrces and the peat logs and the
shamrock and everything. Chauncey
Olcott and Andrew Mack and FiskC
O'Hara made their fortunes with it and
now comes Walter Scarlan to reap
where they have sown. And. judging
| from the size and the enthusiasm of last
| night $ audience, the crop is going to be
good this year.
Such plays defy criticism. They are
frankly tailored to fit certain class
and, If they fit, they must be con-
s!dcred good. Therefore. Irish Eyes"
is good. You may groan inwardly Cf
you like TO prnte about the mission Of
the drama and that sort Of stuff but
If you stand Mt the door and watch the
crowds come out buhbling over with the
pleasure they have had. there is nothing
To do but make up your mind YOU don I
know anything about it--that the play
was fashioned for these people and they
are the ones to judge. And they like
IT. Therefore, again, Irish Eyes" is
good.
Mr.. Seaman can sing everything in
his line from "Nlavourncen" to falsetto
particularly falsctto. And, il the au :
diencc IS little slow In coming across
with the applause, all he has to do is
stand and smile at them, and they rise
and give him four cnrores and Il sort of
apology for missing their cue. But the
encores never failed to be forthcoming
and hystcria threatened somewhere in
the house at every joke and at lots of
things that weren't intended for iokes
and even if the scenery and the me-
cbanics and much of the acting did look
good deal like the Opry House at
Perkins Crossing. the applause and the
laughter were there and a good time
was had by all Therefore, once more,
Irish Eyes" is good.
If you used to like Olcott and Mack
and O'IIara. you'll want to see this
show. You'll like Seaman, too. And
far be it from any one around here to
say you shouldn't. Tastes differ. It's
good thing they do. 1t gives a lot Of
people a chance to give lot of other
people chance to have a lot Of fun that
lot Of still other people never have a
lot of chances to get. And so, we re-
peat it-"Irish Eyes is good.

VAIL. Straight From Paris" with
Clara Kimball Young in the leading

Grand-A snappy show full Of good

traction, Cabaret de Luxe, is all that
the name implies. Bright, snappy mu-
sic, including the latest melodies from

THIEVES TERRORIZE TOWN
Mysterious Shooting Adds to Law
Iessness at Prospect, Conn.

Waterbury, Conn, Sept. 13.-(By
a. PA mysterious shooting affray
last night, a hold-up and two thefts
are the latest developments in the crime
wave that is sweeping the stad old
town of Prospect. So terror stricken
have the inhabitants become that they
waited for daylight to investigate the
shots that We're heard about half a
mile from Prospect Center.
4 milkman was held up, his clothes
rihed and some milk taken. Thieves
stole $50 chickens from the farm of
Merritt Walters, former State po-

staged. pleasingly acted. and contains
many stunningly photographed shots.
Regent-"Good summer 'moveing'
would be an apt description of Ever
Since Eve" which brings pretty Shir-
ley Mason back to Philadelphia.
This phOtOplay, based on magazine
story by Joseph Ernest Peat. matches
very exactly certain novels which are
read in hammocks on hotel porches dur
lug the summer time. IL has life and
comedy and n pinch or two of mystery
thrown in to keep the viewers guessing
as to what it's all about.
AS for thrills, it has a fire on o
launch, which Miss Mason. in the role
of Celestine, mischievous, frolicsome
French girl, tries to put out with a
pillow, while the hero swimS gullnntly
to the rescue from neighboring boat.
Miss Mason. by the way. is pretty
nearly the whole show. She runs the
gamut of vivncity, anger, mischief and
grief. and. incidentally. she wears an
array of gowns that will please the
feminine portion of the audience.
Herbert Ueycs is dignifed and sincere
aS the hero. and Charles SHere Is ex-
Cellcnt In comedy role of n young
would 6e poet. Ethel Lynn, Eva Cor
don. Mrs Vim Moore, Louis King and
Frances Hancock are others in the cast
who do good work.

GRIP VAN WINKLE" IN FILM
Thomas jefferson Puts Stage Classic
Into PhotopIay Form

Academy Of MuSiC-There isn't much
question but what the general run Of
audiences will declare that the Ward
Lascelle production of "Rip Van Win
kle" is just what it should be. And that,
after all-since those audiences are the
courts of last resorts the principal
thing.
Thomas Jefferson plays his old role.
that his father made famous before him.
and plays IL with effective highlights
and excellent make ups. II he lacks
some Of the more subtle nuances of pho
toplay art few will notice their absence.
The scenes in the old Washington
Irving classic are things Of real beauty.
and are, as a matter OF fact, really the
pictures best asset. 1t seems a shame,
then. that the director failed to show
an occasional glimpse Of the river along
which the scene is laid since, after all =,
the spirit Of Hendrick Hudson Is closely
bound up with the story's legend. For
imagine, Kaatskill Is an inland town.
Tho photography, interior and exterior
views included. is excellent, though the
rain is a bit hose like in its vehemence.
The story Of the old drunkard who
fell asleep adheres closely to the stage
version. Almost too closely in some
cases. The famous line. Here's your
health and your families may they live
long and prosper" is repeated, as It was
by Joe Jefferson, many, many times. A
false note Is the almost slapstick humor
attending the scenes of Rip running
from the bear, Rip shooting the rabbit
and Rips wife being chased by the bull.
These would be good In farce comedy,
but seem out Of place here. However :,
many in the audience liked them and
testified their approval by loud laughs.
So why criticize?
The best in the cast 10 little Gladys
Messenger as Meenie. She will capti :
vate the hardest heart and is never over
cute" Minna Davenport as Gretchen
Is excellent; 90 Is Max Asher as the inn

Story of Pirates Believed.

ortland, Me-, June 21.sThe theory
that pirates are af1oat in. the North
Atlantic has found credence here.
Belief in this explanation of the fate
of the recently missing ships has
grown with establishment of the fact
that the message in bottle picked up
two months ago north of Cape Hat
teras, purporting to explain the dis
appearance of the five-masted Bath
schooner Carroll A. Deering, mystery
ship of Diamond Shoals, was written
by Henry Bates, of Islesboro, Me-, a
member of the crew. Question of it's
genuineness was settled today by
handwriting experts, who compared it
with letters written by Bates. The
unsigned note stated that the schoon-
er had been captured by an oil-burn-
ing craft, something like sub-chaser,
that the members of the crew were
hiding all over the ship with no
Chance to escape, were being hand
cuffed, and that everything was be-
ing taken off.
Through the effort of Mrs. Willis
B. Wormell, of this city, wife of the
captain of the Deering, and friends,
the investigation was started by the
state department, the department of
commerce, the coast guard and 9TH
er government agencies to establish
the fate of the missing crew, which
consisted of 2 men besides the cap
tain.

GREATEST ACTIVE
VOLCANO IN WORLD

Honolulu, T. H., May 31.e e(Delayed). &.
The greatest continually active vol
cano in the world; the crater of the
earth's largest dormant volcano; the
majestic coast lines; bakin gsands;
miles upon miles of pineapples and
sugar cane; a miniature Grand Canyon
of the Colorado; these and hundred
other impressive and novel sights will
be spread before the delegates to the
press congress of the world which will
meet in Honolulu next October.
When the business sessions are
over the entertainment committee
formed in Hawaii intends to take the
delegates on steamer tour of the
islands and in the eight days plan
ned for this trip in interesting itin-
erary will be followed
The vessel will skirt the majestic
windward coast Of Molokai and from
its decks the delegates will see the
famous Ieper settlement of Kalau-
papa, sttlement that promises soon
to pass into history with the ever-in-
creasing progress being made against
the disease by the chaulmoogra oil
specific extracted in the University of
Hawaii laboratories.
On the island of Maui great rodeo
is planned for the visiting publishers
and editors and there also they will
be taken to visit the enchanting lao
valley and other beauty spots. On
that island too they will be given op-
portunity to explore Haleakala, the
greatest of extinct volcanoes, 10000
feet high with crater 5000 feet deep
and more than 20 miles in circumfer-
nee.
Skirting the east coast of the is
land of Hawaii, the largest of the
group, 1auna Kea, the Pacific's loft
lest peak, it's snow-clad summit breag-
ing the clouds will offer scenic thrill
before the party lands at Hilo, the
second largest city in the territory.
From Hilo an auto ride will take the
delegates to Kilauea, 80 miles distant,
where the lava in the crater of Hale
maumau (the house of fire) never
ceases it's restless swirl.

to the Opinion that the two cases
will go down in history with other
unsolved mysteries of the sea the
greatest of which on record, they de-
clare, is that of the American bark
Marie Celeste, which was found off
the Azores three months after she
undamaged, in calm weather, but with
the crew missing.
A boarding party from the ship
which sighted the bark found the
table set for dinner with hot coffee
in the pot and everything aboard
the ship in the same condition it
would have been had the crew left
only few minutes before. On a
sewing machine was a waist which
the captains wife had been making,
while toys used by the captains son
were on the floor. In the forecastle
was table with playing cards dis
tributed around as though members
of the crew had leisurely left game
of cards.
Besides the captain, his wife and
crew. The vessel was towed to port
and again put in service, but about
six years later she disappeared COM
pletely with her crew and no word has
ever come from her.
Another mystery of the sea point
ed to is that of the American fighter
Wasp, which, after defeating a Brit
ish frigate in the war of 1912, sailed
away from the scene of battle never
to be heard from again.
