MISS FLORENCE MARTIN
Wore quaint brown taffeta In
"Scrambled Wives" at the Shake rtGarrlek.
BY ELENORE DE WITT EBY.
ONE effective way to forget the hot
weather last week was to attend
the performances at Keith's and the ^
Garrlck. Miss Ivy Sawyer and Mr.
Santley staged a complete revue as "
their contribution to the vaudeville s
program, in which dashing costumes, 1
new music and graceful dancing vied
with one another for first place. Mr.
Santley explained that the title
"Kllck-Klick" came from the camera,
since its every-watchful eye sees
everything, and the stage setting was
a huge lens which served as the en*
trance for each number of the act.
Miss Sawyer and Mr. Santley appeared
in several dainty song and
dance numbers, and the Colonial and
Pierrot and Pierrette costumes were
particularly effective. By far the
most striking creation, though, was
the gown worn by Miss Sawyer in the
Spanish dance. The foundation hodice
of green satin was partially veiled
by a fold of green georgette draped
about It. The georgette was fantastically
embroidered with large
crange, red and blue flowers, and at
the lower edge there was a banding
of deep green fringe. The voluminous
shawl was likewise of embroidered
georgette, with a fringe as a
border. The wide skirt, hooped out
from a story by Freeman Tilden. of
a boy whose imagination could not
be held down by the city limits of his
provincial community, and "Little
Eva Ascends," a story of barnstorming
life by Thomas Beers.
Kenneth Harris' magazine romance
of California a half century ago is to '
be adapted to the screen, with Bert
Lyteli as its star. June Mathis made
the adaptation and Maxwell Karger
will, direct the picture.
MetSO will star Alice Lake In "The '
Infamous Miss Revtll," a story by W. 1
Carey Wonderly. Miss Lake will have ;
the role of a big sister who plays ,

working for a means to abolish the
perforation of Alms, thereby saving

Philip Klein, son of the late C&arles
Klein, is producing a new play entitled
"Fast and Loose." by Philip
Bartholomae and I. B. Kaplan, in
Albany this week, preliminary to a
New York engagement.
Ten years ago, it is claimed, Wallace
Reld was a strenuous peddler of
Ore extinguishers in New Jersey. Then
he became ambitious, and at the same
time engaged as a newspaper reporter,
to follow in the footsteps of
his father, Hal Held. After a try on
the Daily Star of Newark he became
assistant editor of a motor magazine,
and then the divine afflatus struck
him and he launched Into the movies.

Charlie Chaplin's new picture. "Vanity
Fair," it is said, will surprise

Thomas Jefferson, who will play
the title role, will be seen In the cos.'

been signed by D. W. Griffith for the
role of the Countess, In the film version
of "Two Orphans," the famous
old play.
Larry Semen initiated himself into
"The Bell .Hop," his new Vitagraph
comedy, by a rather sensational performance.
In "The Bell Hop" it is required
that Larry stand on top of a
I barn and be "rescued" by an airplane,
which, with a dangling rope ladder,
sweeps close to the roof. Did Larry
grab the ladder? The answer is neither
a clean-cut "yes" nor a clean-cut
I "no." Those who watch this latest

And the answer sufficiently sensational.

Earle Williams' new Vitagraph production
is "Bring Him In," a story of
the royal Canadian northwest police,
by H. H. Van Loan. Mr. Williams is
best known for his work in society

Two bare-legged tads were sprawled

Trom wheel trouble. It was one of
:ho?e red runners that boys get for
Christmas gifts and which are nattrally
entitled to go wrong by the
Fourth of July. And it had gone
nrrong, all right.
It was so sizxllng hot that a passng
woman paused to ask why they
lidn't take the wagon to a tree,
where they could be more comfortable.
This was too Idiotic a sugges:lon
for answer, as anybody could
:ell who knows boys. So she watched
:hem for another helpless second and
was moving on when the good Sanaritan.
In a monkey-back suit. Instead
of his official robe, which was
perfectly all right, seeing that fashIons,
change alike for saints and
tinners, halted, In turn.
He knew exactly what was wrong,
knd the boys knew that he knew.
"The w'eel has wun off an' the
tcwoo's lost." The two tads said It
together. which showed, also, that
they knew what they were up
igalnst.
The wheel was certainly off, and
:he screw was obviously gone, but
there is always a way. In this case
t meant cord. So the young man
bopped Into the corner drug store,
bought a ball of twine and in the
:wo shakes allowed by that accommodating
ram's tall, tne wagon was
in commission, the boys flying down
the street like winged victories and
the young man?having served his
neighbor even unto the scriptural
jenny?was on his way.
And as the woman got her last
glimpse of boys and wagon the
thought came to her:
"i misrht have given them ice

So that, by count, both Samaritans
were on hand?the good one and

was amusing- enough to make one oblivious
to the hottest weather, although
Miss Martin, the charming little
leading lady, said she felt exactly
like a "boiled beet." "And you may
imagine what a Dolled beet would feel
like," she added. However, she certainly
didn't look like one, for her
frocks and neglige were as dainty
and^cool appearing as could be.
In "the first act she wore a dinner
gown of shaded tan-and-brown crinkled
georgette, with a delicate tone
of old blue ribbon Introduced in the
girdle and around the bodice. Her
dark hair was simply dressed with a
pastel flower garland twined through
It for 'a touch of contrast, and she
carried a blue ostrich fan.
Miss Martin's neglige was of deep
rose-pink satin, with cream-colored
lace as a trimming and it was an
unusually becoming model. She
seemed to prefer her afternoon frock
of crisp brown taffeta, though, so the
writer sketched it. The style Is rather
quaint, for the frock has a basque
bodice and wide fichu collar with a
vestee of lace set In the opening.
The foundation skirt is almost entirely
concealed by the tunic which
falls over it, and which is slightly
bouffant at the hips. Taffeta quilling
is used as a trimming, while a girdle
of burnt orange satin and an orange
tulle hat afford a bit of bright color
contrast.

turprised one morning to see the
porch showing lines of snowy towels,
pillow slips, handkerchiefs and the
like?and still more surprised when
the little mother explained:

a laundress and ray boy did it He
learned how to wash in the Navy!"

heroes both In the war and at home.

?vrY dear Miss Lancaster: Ths revival
of some of the old songs
has appealed to me, too, and I am
wondering if any one could recall
more than one verse of 'All Around
Me 'At,' as it was sung by an old
English servant to mo when I was a
small child?
"Will you be kind enough to try to
find out for me who wrote the poem,
each verse of which wound up with:
'A purple Judas tree.'
'The lady who asked me if I knew
said she saw it years ago in' a collection
of Dickens' poems or writings,
but she cannot find it now. and
as she seems perturbed that her storehouse
of knowledge lacks this Inform
mation I am turning to you. A. S. H.,
Shelburne Falls, Mass.
A purple Judas tree that grows In the
field of literature isn't a song, of course.
but It means a memory?and for those
whose feet are set in the sunset trail,
a memory is everything:.
Therefore. It seems as if we ought to
put on our thinking caps and go hunting.

"Come, decreet, the daylight bee gone.
And the stars are unveiling to thee;
Come, wander by moonlight alone.
If alone thon canst call it with me.
"Let as so where the wild dowers bloom.
Amid the soft ohsdes of night.
And the ormace dispels Its perfame
And the rose speske of lore end of light.
"Remember, lore, I most soon leers thee
To wander 'mid strangers alone.
Where at eve thy sweet smile will not greet

Or thy gentle voice at noon.
"Bat. oh, 'twill be sweet to remember.
That though I am far. far from thee
The hand of fate only can sever

Reviews of
AT THE SUPREME WAR COUNCIL.
By Capt. Beter E. Wright. New
.York: G. P. Putnam's Sons.
CAPT. PETER TJfRIGHT of the
British army, was, during the
existence of the supreme war
council, both assistant secretary
and interpreter to that organization.
This double office not
only opened all the records of that
body to him, but it caused him, as
well, to be present at the conferences
that took place wtihin it. This very
unusual war book is the direct result
of Peter Wright's experience
with the war council. The big outstanding
fact here is that war cannot
be an improvisation. It must be a
preparation, a training, long, arduous,
of single purpose. The Germans
were trained and ready. The
allies, unready. The allied armies
were throughout the war period
larger than the armiea of the central
powers, vet the latter held out for
four years, and almost won. It comes
as news to the average reader that
we did really outnumber the Germans.
There Is other news In this
fearless story?news of jealousies, of
military disobedience, of Inefficiency
in'high places, of criminal self-seeking.
of temporizing and shuffling that
"disposed haphazard of all those
brilliant jfoung generations that were
being mowed In swaths by the German
seythe." Great namel are
brought low here. Popular Idols are
overthrown. Conspiracies to block
a single command are brought Into
the open. Gen. Gough's lone fight
when he was abandoned instead bt
being supported shines out here. The
book, not a big one, Is a freefiung accusation,
and a challenge to the accused.
Its value lies, chiefly, in the
future, in the possibility of other
wars, and in preparing for them. Certainly
a unique and revealing war book
of great significance.
BEAUTY. By Rupert Hughes, author
of "What's the World Coming Tor'
etc. Illustrations by W. T. Benda.
New York: Harper & Bros.
The heroine of this story is dead almost
at Its beginning. That is why
the epilogue comes first, covering the
tragic drowning of Clella Blakeney.
the beautiful girl whose spirit animates
and directs the subsequent
lines of the action. A singularly
beautiful epilogue this, setting up a
memorial, so to speak, to the "pity
of beauty and its laughing rush from
oblivion to oblivion. Here was but
one young girl, and there were millions
of young girls alive, and trillions
dead and gone unseen, unsung.
unplctured. And this one girl was
material for galleries of art a&d libraries
of poetry and prose." From
this lift of pity and poetry the story
moves cut into a romance whoBe substance
draws continually on the influence
left by the young Clella. It
is the stpry of a beautiful and socially
sophisticate woman in her wooing
of the real man from the west, the
man who set out by loving the girl
Clella. The setting of a modern city
gives Mr. Hughes his chance to deal.
In passing, with current things?
with prohibition, woman suffrage, labor.
supercivllisation and Bubcivlllsation.
These he touches sharply on
the shoulder, passing on to give the
next one a clip. In reading Rupert
Hughes one gets the Impression,
much as he does with Bernard Shaw,
that here is a man who, in his keen
and wide Interest, In his alert and
darting mind, is much more interesting
than any one thing that he may
write.
INVISIBLE TIDES. By Beatrice Kean
Seymour. New York: Thomas Seltser.
"Impelled of invisible tides and fulfilled
of unspeakable things" Is Swinburne's
line that gave Mrs. Seymour
the title to her fine first novel. It is
the invisible tide of circumstance
that floats the young woman of this
story out of her husband's home Into
thst of the young artist. The war
takes both husband and lover. The
husband comes back. The lover does
not. The end of the matter takes
Helena back into her husband's house.
That is the story in bare and repellent
outline. It is the filling of this
outline that produces a novel of great
beauty and power. It is the kind of people
with whom this author deals so understandingly
that lifts the whole to
ADOPT SALVATION
ARMY FOUNDLINGS
*
DECAUSE of the recognition which
is accorded to the Salvation Army
in "The Whirl of New York." at the
Winter Garden, In which fifteen Winter
Garden glrla portray Salvation
Army lassies, these lassies were
guests of the Salvation Army recently
at a special luncheon at Its Brooklyn
Nursery and Infants' Hospital, at 396
Herkimer street. Brooklyn. The entertainment
was In charge of Maj. Gerberlch
of the Salvation Army, who met
the stage lassies at the stage door of
the Winter Garden and took them by
auto direct to the hospital, where
luncheon was served at 1.
The surprise of the occasion came
when the girls were taken to the
nursery and introduced to fifteen
foundlings. The children made an
instant appeal to the girls, and it is
said Maj. Gerberich was approached
and his permission asked that each
girl be allowed to adopt a foundling.
After consulting several officials of
the army Maj. Gerberich announced
that the plan was heartily approved.
Each girl, it is said, then picked out
a child and. with the Infant in her
arms, formally became its sponsor In
the presence of Mrs. Hammond, super- I
intendent of the hospital.
The responsibility of each consists in
turning over to the Salvation Ariny the
sum of $240 a year?the price of the
upkeep of the ohlld?until the sponsor
is able to take it Into her home or to
find one for It. "Proving." as Edna
Stanck, one of the stage lassies, re
marked, "that the business of women 1
Is to love children."
The Winter Garden girls were headed
by Miss Nancy Glbbs, who sings
the role of Violet Gray, the Salvation
Army lassie in "The Whirl of New
York." and the stage Salvation Army
lassies Included Edna Starck, Louise
Starck, Virginia Wilson. Maylan
Yates, June Barry, Anne Barry. Anne
Buckley, Edna Richmond; Helene
O'Brian, Margaret Menges, Louise McGovern,
Irene McGovern, Olive Clarke
and Mary Preston.
A Sensitive Bird.

-Customer?Tve had the parrot one

all of them?wife, lover, husband.
Caught In the tide of life, they are
swept Into deep channels, where all

this situation Mrs. Seymour has given
a big and understanding treatment.
A brilliant and dramatic novel, finely
drawn at every point, issues from

and admirable workmanship.
THE MAW WHO DID THE RIGHT
THING. By Sir Harry Johnston,
author of "Mrs. Warren's Daughter,"
etc. New York: The Macmillan
Compaty.
This romance of East Africa permits
Sir Harry Johnston to stage a
region with which Ife Is on Intimate
terms of personal acquaintance. And
this background of African landscape
ai)d people and customs is the superior
point of interest in the story- Not
that the action itself is Inconsequential,
but the genuine freshness of the
adventure is assured by the 'surroundings
of the characters themselves. An
English girl is going out to Africa to
marry a missionary. On shipboard is
Capt. Brentham of the English army
returning, to duty. A missionary
stands no show at all with an officer
of the army. What might be expected,
happens. Still, the girl goes on
and does marry the man to whom she
is promised. A rising of the natives
against the foreigners releases her
and, finally, the captain, not altogether
ardently, takes her for his wife. One
Judges that this act gives name to the
book. In the light of subsequent
events one might easily question the
ultimate righteousness of the marriage.
The issue is both sad and drab.
Dike life, though. And this lifelikeness
is the dominant note of the book
whose workmanship Is of exceptionally
IJj-m and even quality throughout.
FIND THE WOMAN. By Arthur Somen,
author of "Uneasy Street," etc.
Illustrations by Dean Cornwell.
New-York: Cosmopolitan Book Corporation.
rnis is tne story or Clancy Deane.
fapm Zenith, Me., who went to New
York to seek her fortune as a movie
queen. Within one little week the
highly accelerated tempo of the big
town had Involved Miss Clancy In adventures
enough to last six girls a
lifetime. The top notch of the frenzied
week was reached with the girl
as a murder suspect, trailed by the
official, and unofficial, sleuths of crime.
Being an Innocent, upstanding girl
from Maine, and a good deal of a
brick besides. Miss Clancy comes out
of the astonishing complex, not only
In complete vindication, but with a
very desirable husband to boot. The
matter, so sketchily put, sounds a bit
banal. However, there is nothing new
under the sun in the way of mere material
for the novel. The freshness
has to come from some turn of the
hand by the author. Mr. Roche's particular
turn is In the making of his
men and women folks here. Clancy
herself is a real girl?an open, fearless
girl, come out into the world to
make her fortune. And the others
while not so much to the fore as is
this chief person, are. all of them, not
only human beings, but interesting
human beings, each in his own particular
role. This skill in making his
people alive, consistently and bellevably
alive. Is what makes the story go
so well.
THE I'HES OP DIVERSITY. By G. K
Chesterton, author of "Charles
Dickens." etch. New York: Dodd,
Mead & Co.
A book of essays in which Mr.
Chesterton swings from llormonism
to lamp-posts, with Christian science
and the Japanese and "Pigs as Pets"
and such-like wedged in between. A
short and most interesting literary
appraisal of Tennyson, and another
one of George Meredith, are crowded
Into this medley of topics. However,
the topic hardly oounts. It is the
manner of the man himself that is
especially happy here?a big and
kindly manner with much of the zest
and enjoyment that children get out
of everything that comes into their
hands. A man of old-fashioned sentiments
toward many things. Christmas.
for instance. And with it all a
man of sane philosophy, and ke-n
wit. and sure Insight. An admirable
book to pick up ior trie contacts tnat
it gives and the long vistas that it
sets up.
THE GOLDEN BOOK OF SPRIXGFIEI.D.
By Vachel Lindsay, author
of "A Handy Guide to Beggars,"
etc. New York: The Macmillan
Company.
Mr. Lindsay announces this as the
"review of a book that will appear in
the autumn of the year 2018 and an
extended description. besides, of
Springfield. 111., in that year." One
knows beforehand what Vachel Lindsay
will do with a theme like this, so
he' hurries to take up the bo<m of
Springfield. And it is all here?the
gay humor, the happy invention, the
jeyous heart, the love of beauty, the
droll turns of scene and incident, the
finer world, the more understanding
people. Taking his own home town In
hand. Mr. Lindsay enjoys himself
greatly in refashioning it. its people,
its streets, its homes and Its Interests,
according to the inspirations that may
animate the world a hundred years
from now. Another delightful bit of
vagabonding on the part of this happy
poet and wanderer.
NOT FOR FOOLS. By H. Dennis Bradley.
Designs by Rilette and Jacques
D'Or. London: Grant Richards.
To the uncompromising character
of this title the author adds thoughtfully.
if not over modestly, that this
is a book for the few wise ones. One
approaches it timorously. No need,
however, to have had fears. The
book turns out to be only another
set of pergonal opinions on the mistakes
made by England on the conduct
of her share in the great war.
The author shoots off forty little
guns, each of which Is calculated to
blow into kingdom come some part
of the war theory or practice set up
by England. At intervals, surcharged
with national zeal and wisdom, Mr.
Bradley sets off a rapid-fire gun of
aphoristic sayings, calculated to demolish
the political an? military
muddlers without more to-do. The
whole is a bit of fireworks, ferociously
earnest throughout, clever
now and then, suggestive in spots?
an effort calculated to relieve the
author himself of material that' is
good to get out of one's system.
