Musical Comedies Shown.
Tho filonk and suit firm fc-f Potash and

Is fully up to the samples nmt adver
tised by JIontaRue Glass In tho Satur
day Kvenlns Post. Whoever designed
the three-piece suit shown Inst night
and hie hamo is not on tho bill of lAdlns
-did Well. He cut the suit to fit the
mythical figures, brought to life with
nmaalng characterization by A, 11.
Woods' company.
Tho piny made out of the Olasa stories
!s cohesive, connective and therefore
tomprolienslvo. It scintillates with
laUghr; breezes along so tiatu rally and
smlllrtKly and goVid-nnturcdly that
ritrinacment nnd satisfaction go hand In
hand. It Is true that neither Ibsen nor
, Ilrleujc could have written "Potash and
Pcrlmutter." It Is equnlty true that the
Glass play Is Infinitely human not high
brow, perchnnco but appealing to the
average, everyday being.
Tho characters of Potueli nnd I'crlmut
ter and nuth, their designer, are su
perbly drawn. They stand revealed ns
In life uncouth, yes; lacking education,
yes. But with nil their faults wo ennnot
help loving them but not still. Their
humor Is clean, Inugh-prodUclng. It may
as well be said now that there Is noth
ing In tho play, from the rlso of tho cur
tain until It descends all too soon, to
which even tho most rabid .Tew coulu
take exception. Barring perhaps Boris
Andrleff, the persecuted Ilusslnn. tho
characters ring true. He is too good to
be truo too oily.
Tho episodes of the play abound In
chuckles, smiles, laughi nnd roars. They
gallop along from ono r'dlculous climax
and antl-cllmax to nncVthcr. But withal
there. Is an evor-prcscnt undercurrent of
that misused term, heart-lntcreat. Ituth
Goldman, the designer, who was never
referred to its a "designing woman"
though the temptation must have been al
most Irresistible Is a charmingly woman
ly crontlon tho oort of girt nil men would
llko for their wives nnd would envy In
the posiesslon of others. Carolyn LUJa.
was delightful In tho role, sharing with
Julian Rose, as Potash, nnd Julius Tnn
nen, as Terlmutter, tho honors of tho
evening.
Of tho others In tho cast It may bo
said that, with ono or two exceptions, thev
were worthy of the three stars. Italoh
J. Herbert, as Andrleff, was n bit too
unctuous, Leo Donnelly, ns Moznrt Itabl
ner, breezy) Maurice Barrett, ns Harks
Paslnsky, good.
The wenk spots In tho cast were Blnnche
Almee, ns Irma Potash, tho young daugh
ter of tho firm, and Helen Salinger, ns
Mrs. Potash Tho former never struck
tho Hebraic keynote. Mies Salinger, who
bears a startling rcsemblnnco to Mme.
Bchumann-Helnk, missed tho accent ab
solutely and seemed not a bit nt home
In her role.
But Potash and Perlmutter Is n firm
well worth patronizing the play Is bet
ter even than the stories on which It Is
built Go and see for yourself.
JOHN DREW HIMSELF AGAIN
One More Self-Impersonttion at the
v Broad, But Not in a "Drew Piny."
Charles Frohman's statistician hns been
wofutly slack. Otherwise he might have
turned the Ocean City Yacht Club's bunt
Ingsnt tho Broad last night Into n com
' mcmoratlon of John Drew's BOOOth or
thereabouts nppearnnco In his masterly
Impersonation of John Drew. Just why
reviewers, and even a few spectators,
grow tired of such a faultless perform
ance Isn't very clear. Perhaps top per
fect a work of art Is bound to cloy, and
even the moat polished und nmuslng of
crosses between a society jumping jack
and a good-natured parrot must wear
out Its charm. Lnst night the genuine
article was on view, as usual, and when
Mr, Drew turned his broadcloth back to
the audlenco, the customary cry, "Some
tailor!" went up.
But If Drew was Draw, the piny was
not. Darlo Nlccodeml and Michael Mor
ton present Mr. Drew as n "drunk"
through one act, as a largely reformed
but Indiscreetly amorous guardian
through another, and finally as a man
who falls In love with his estranged wife
whllo pursuing his Intended mistress. The
result Is neither so harmlessly amusing
its Mr. Drew's usual pieces nor so atlmu
' latlng to tho Intellect as other actors'
plays.
There were compensations, however.
In tho first act, a really expert little
gin actress, Helen Hayes Brown, gavo
a delightful Impersonation of the orphan
that Mr. Drew finds thrust upon him.
In the second Martha Hedman played
, til same young lady, grown to woman
Jiood apd beloved, rather Improperly, by
the same semi-grass widower, and play
' ett her with delightful nuancos of com
,dy. She was Just as appealing. Just as
lovably beautiful as any of our native
Ingenues, yet she gave tho part tho
touches of human comedy that make
real impersonation. The third act. In
vhleh the young lady flew to the pro
tection of Mr. Drew's wife In the coun
try, gave every one a last and unexpect
ed glimpse of the other pleasant factor

''When it u a tuur-neartea anu unsuccess

"HIOH JINKS" LYRIO
Tho danco Is the thing. It matters not
w bother tho lines mean anything, or
whether the music Is catchy or original,
Just sprlnklo about liberally a lot of de
lirious steps, nnd the modern audlenco Is
delighted.
This txns evident Inst night at the open
Irig of "High Jinks" at the I-.yrlc Theatre,
when, nl tho end of tho second net, tho
enmnnnv ns n whole Indulged In nn exhi
bition of limb-swinging such ns has not
been seen In UiIb city In many n day.
Tho curtnln dropped Just low enough for
the desired effect to bo produced.
The music of "High Jinks" Is beguiling
ly engaging. Tho "Bubblo Pong" It a
gem, nnd Is charmingly sung by Adelo
Ardsley who takes the part of Florence,
daughter of Madame Bnbelnls.
The aforesaid madamo and her husband
hnd been separated for mnny years, when
Doctor Thorno turned up and proposed a
trip to a Ficnch bathing resort with tho
dnurrhter Florence. At tho critical
Juncture tho missing husband nppcars nnd
engnges In a flirting diversion with his
wife. Neither recognizes tho other nt
first, nnd when they do there is at once
a clearing of tho atmosphere, and
Rabelais, his wife and daughter nre all
reunited. Then Docttfr Thorno returns
properly to the bosom of his own family.
Tho humor of tho episode nt tho scn
shoro resort revolves about tho Incident
thnt "Doctor Thorno pays all expense1!.'
Until hr husband turns up, Madame
Bnbelnls regards tho characteristics of
Doctr Thorno as thoso nll-deslrablo In
a man.
Stella Mayhew, as Adelaldo Fontaine, Is
altogether charming, nnd Dorothy Wolfe,
ns Mndnme Robelali, nnd Paul Porcasl,
as M Jacques Rabelais, are easily the
dominant nrtlsts In the cast. Philip Ryley,
ns Dr. Robert Thorne, camo In last night
for his merited share of acclaim. Ex
cepting for these, tho cast Is ordinary,
but tho chorus Is nbovo tho average.
EDBIE FOY KEITH'S
Somebody once said thnt a really great
comedian llko the nlght-bloomlng cercus
buds onco In a century. This, ns mod
ern history proves, Is not exactly cor
rect. But that seven should bo born
within a score of years, and In tho same
family. Is something out of the ordinary,
Now, nddlo Toy is conceded to bo ono of
tho greatest comedians of America. But
what of tho "Seven Little Foys?" With
their talented "pop" as they familiarly
call him Eddie Foy's offspring mado
their debut In Philadelphia yesterday at
Keith's thcatro. And all pioved them
selves, from tho latest wco addition to
the famllv, who reaches about to "pop's"
knee, to bo real comedians. The next-to-tho-oldest
Foy is a second edition of
"pop" in gait and Inherent comicality of
feature.
It Is dlfllcult to become enthusiastic
over vaudeville bills, for vaudeville Is
llko a woman with a past. Vaudeville hns
been uplifted, but It Is as difficult to take
It seriously as a lady who has left homo
and baby to campaign i'or votes or so
cialism. Nevertheless, In a literary wny,
ono must clnp one's hands for tho enter
tainment offeied by Manager Jordan at
Keith's this week. To bo sure, Carl Byal
nnd Dora Early are relics of "vuudeville's
low-brow days, but then, being Just me
diocre, they offer a contrast to James C.
Morton nnd Ralph Austin and tho
others with but one oxceptlon on tho

GREAT CAST IN "TOSCA"
AT METROPOLITAN TONIGHT
Opening of Opera Season Will Be n
Notnble Artistic Event.
Tho opera chosen for opening the Phil
adelphia season tonight is Puccini's
"Tosca " and tho two prlnclpnl parts
have been assigned to singers who hnvo
made for themselves notnblo reputations
In thoso parts. Geraldlno Fnrrar, after
an extraordinary reception In Now York,
In Carmen, will sing Tosca. Tho Now
York critics agree that Miss Farrar's
singing nnd acting are even moro excel
lent this year than before. Antonio
Scotti, who shares with Bcnaud tho
honor of being "a perfect Scarpln," will
sing that part. Caaradosil has beon as
signed to Giovanni Mnrtlnclll, the tenor,
whoso work brought him early recogni
tion In his recent first nppearance with
tho Metropolitan. The entlro cast la as

"OLD HOMESTEAD" WALNUT
Philadelphia accorded Its customary
generous welcome to Donman Thompson's
"Tho Old Homestead," which was pre
sented by a capable company nt tho Wal
nut Street Theatre last night Several
persons who have been playing the same
purts In tho pleeo for mnny yenrs ap
peared In the cast and added In a great
measure to tho success of the play.
There Is probably no stage production
which creeps Into the hearts of Philadel
phia audiences as does "The Old Home
stead." It Is for this reason tho houso
was crowded last night, and It Is safe
to say nt least half of the audlenco had
seen tho piece many times before.
Edward Tj. Snader, aB the familiar
"down-east" farmer, Joshua Whltcomb,
easily found fnvor with the audience by
the capable manner In which he portrayed
the lovable character of "Uncle Josh."
Jfrs. Maggie Breycr, as Aunt Matilda,
ncted with a grace and motherly charm
which captivated every person.
Horry S Boblnson nnd Charles H.
Clatlce, who Interpreted the characters
of Cy Prlmo and Seth Perkins, were al
ways In high favor. Without these two
venerable actors no production of "The
Old Homestead" would be complete. They
liavo played the piece for so mnny years
they are a part of it. and In consequence
their work Is of the best.
The other members of the company
acted In a manner creditable to the char
acters they Interpreted.
The old Now England story will never
grow too old for Blncere appreciation. The
double quartet, which Is always a feature
of the piece, easily sang Its way Into the
hearts of the nudlenco.

ANNA PAVLOWA DANCES
Tho Pavlown Ballet, Inc., mado Its ap
pearance at the Metropolitan Opera Houbc
last night A frivolous person might as
sume that tho letters "Inc." stood for
"Incorporated." Legally this may bo
true. Thoso whd saw last night's per
formance wilt swear that tho letters stand
for "Incomparable," and they will be
right. At U o'clock, throwing all thoughts
of commuting ttalns, street cars and
matins to tho wlndB, the spectators forgot
themselves far enough to demand a rope
tltluhi of the "Gavotte Pavlowa." A quar
ter of nn hour Inter they demanded an
encore of the famous "IJacchanalo." Tho
houso was crowded, tho spectators highly
appreciative, end tho ballet was perfect.
Something of nn Innovation wns tho
appearance of the members of tho com
pany In evening dress albeit not moUerii,
clothes. The dnncos In this costume were
of today, and many hearts heat faster
at tho prospect of being ablo to danco
ns M. Clustlno dances or Mile. Svlrsknla.
But tho linest things In tho program were
thofoo dances In which artificiality Is car
ried to Its perfect oxtrcmo. Where no
emotion, but grace ttlone enters. Such
was tho "Puppen-Fco" nnd somo of tho
divertissements. But to pick perfections
out of perfection Is qulto useless.

MAGHWERYTRADES
M. A. Hudson, of This City,
Tells Chairman Prouty
Business Men of Country
Agree in Favoring Rail
road Rate Advance.
?
WASHINGTON, Nov. 21. A report dt
a. personal Investigation of manufacturing
conditions made by M. A. Hudson, of
Philadelphia, in a tour of tho country,
Is made In n communication to Charles A.
-Prrfuty, chairman of the Interstate Com
merce Commission.
Mr. Hudson, who Is vice president of tho
J. E. Loncrgan Company, manufacturers
of boiler, steam nnd gas engine specialties,
211-16 Baco street, Philadelphia, declares
that the railroads should bo permitted to
advance their freight rates, as an Im
portant factor In Insuring a revival of
the machinery business, which, ho says, Is
at Its lcAvcat ebb in a quarter of a cen
tury. Mr. Hudson's letter fallows:
November Iff, 1911
Hon. Charles A. Prouty, Interstate
Commerce Commission, Washington,
D. C.
Dear Sir: It Is with great Interest
that I have read your address before
the National Association of Hallway
Commissioners In regard to the Im
portance of ascertaining the valuo of
all public carriers properties, and I
concur with you In your opinion, but,
whllo this extensive Investigation Is
under way, I certainly think that the
railroads ns a whole ought to receive
tho ndvanccd freight rates necessary
for thorn to progress.
I am a comparatively small manufac
turer, a Democrat, and voted for Wil
son. But enough of politics.
I returned n short time ngo from
qulto an oxtonslve trip over the coun
try, and to a mnn every manufacturer
when interviewed, nearly all of whom
wero In englno specialties or kindred
lines, woro most decidedly of tho
opinion that what general buslnest
needed moro than nnythlng else was
tho Increase In freight, rates given to
tho railroads, and I know they woro
Blncere.
Wo rend about prosperity In tho
newspapers this may bo, nnd In all
probability is truo In somo lines of en
deavorbut In machinery and kindred
lines the state of business Is the most
deplorable I havo seen In 25 years'
business experience. I will give you a
few facts and figures which can be
easily proven:

I could go on and nnmo a vry large
number who are In tho same boat or
worse off than tho cases mentioned.
Consider, for Instance, tho pitiable
plight of one of our large locomotive
works, who aro working only from
eight to sixteen hours per week with
less than 20 per cent, of their force.
You may be thoroughly acquainted
with alt thess facts, but as a humble
manufacturer, I thought I would bring
them to your attention, If by any
