Philadelphia, in the opinion Of DR..
Paul A. Lewis, professor Of expert .
mental pathology at the University OF
Pennsylvania, is seriously handicapped
in it's fight for the medical supremacy
of the world by well meaning bene-
factors. who, in giving large sums for
medical research work, restrict the use
of the money to special subjects.
DR.. Lewis lectured in the foyer OF
the Academy of Music yesterday on
1.-THE Significance Of Medical Research
in Philadelphia.
After showing by q historical review
how the future of Philadelphia med
ical reputation was linked up definitely
with the field of research, he explained
the secret of the Rockefeller Institutes
success in New York City.
"One OF the most striking develop.
ments in the field Of medical research, "
said DR.. Lewis, "has been the estab-
lishment during the last twenty five
years of numerous funds, institutes and
foundations whose purpose it is to pro-
mote scientific research in medicine as
n first purpose. OF these, the most sue
cessful has been the Rockefeller Insti-
tute because it has been founded with
out restriction to any special subject. I"

THE MARRIAGE TAX
SCORES BIG HIT
Society Folk Shower Applause
on Actors in Academy
of Music
AID TO CHURCH INSTITUTE

"Tbe Marriage Tax" a musical
comedy, was presented last night in the
Academy of Music by society folk. Mrs.
George Dallas Dixon wrote the book
and lyrics and A. Baldwin Sloane and
Charles Gilpin, 3D., are responsible for
the melody.
Although the comedy was pre-
sented for the first and probably the
last time last night, the Offering of these
Philadelphia artists stands on it's own
merits as a worthy theatrical produce
ton. It accomplished twofold and
commendable purpose. Aside from the
fact that an overhowing house yielded
n handsome sum for the Seamen's
Church Institute. honors go to the play
for bel 1: the first work of the stage to
deal WI Philadelphia proposed Ses-
q,ii Centennial Exposition, a glimpse
Of which provided the scene for the
last act. The play opfned in Aix-les.
Bnins.
The story, that Of n headstrong
American girl, daughter of a wealthy
California Senator, who was the father
Of bill that gave the Government 65
per cent of the fortune of an heiress
when she married n poverty stricken
member of Europe's nobility. was clever
enough but rather lost sight Of in
profusion Of charming song and dance.
One of the decided hits of the per-
formance, and one that developed an
amusing feature not in the production
was the chorus of gray, but by no
means drab, Quakertown girls. Perhaps
it was the way they danced, and per-
haps It was because it included some
Of PHILADELPHIA s most popular bellies
that caused the fashionable audience to
applaud for an encore all the while .
Fairmount I'ark Commissioner was In
tent upon singing song proclaiming
the greatness Of Philadelphia. The
Commissioner sang lustily-one could
see that-and though no one heard him,
he had his way.
The Quaker girl chorus was composed
of Peggy Thayer, Theodore Lille,
Katharine Ogden, Carol Smith, Mary
Glendinning, Margaret Dallett, Bar
bara Boyd, Banning Grange, Mrs. Jo-
seph Rollins and Jeanne DeRousse.
Perhaps the most notable feature oi
the production was the Flowers of the
Alps ballet, introduced as divertisse
ment for the amusement Of the King Of
Greece. Comely young girls danced II
the gang of cyclamens, columbines ant
gentians until the Frost King blew hi
breath on them. He was vanqulshed b,
the Spirit Of Edelweiss. The latter parts
were taken by W. Howard McAllistel
and Mrs. Alexander Dannebaum.
The principals included Thoma
Hart, Jack Whiting. Mrs. Harold ELI
Yarnall, Leslie JOY, Mrs. George Will
cox Mcfver, Jr., Mrs. L. j.. Hammond
and Miss Frances Hammond.
David Sellers Vogels was the stag
director. The dancing was directed b!
Ellwood Carpenter. The orchestration
were arranged by Walter Paul.

he was granted new trial. 1t had
