FAMOUS PLAT BY sib JAMES 9 M. BARBIE PICTURIZED When William De Mille, one of Parartount's master producers, un- ^ dertook to screen Sir James M. Bar o; He's celebrated play, "What Every V Woman Knows" which will be shown S at the Stanley Theatre, 19th and Market Streets, Philadelphia, the 0 week of May 2nd, the question of a cast to adequately portray the char- e acters of the great story, -was one of ^ primary importance. That Maude q Adams and Bruce McRae, who play- a ed the leading roles in the American a production of the play, should be ^ succeeded in the screen version • in 0 the most capable manner was im- t perative, and to that end Lois -Wil- \ son and Conrad Nagpl were chosen. « "What Every Woman Knows," was produced at the Duke of York s j in London in 1908, and in the 1 following season it was presented in 4 New York by Charles Frohman with £ Maude Adams and Bruce McRae in j the leading parts. The play scored a huge success and during succeed- j ing seasons it was presented in -the principal cities of the county. « The role of Maggie Wylie, Maude Adams' part, is portrayed by Lois « Wilson, while Conrad Nagel plays , .John Shand, the Bruce McRae part. J Charles Ogle, one of the best known 1 screen character men, delightfully de- J picts old Alick Wylie, while Fred ■ Huntly and Guy Oliver are David . and James Wylie, his two bachelor ( sons. Winter Hall plays Charles - Venables, the statesman. Lillian j Tucker is Sybil Tentern, the "other , woman," Claire McDowell is the i Countesse de la Briere/and Robert ; Brower playS" a Scotch lawyer. The : story is one of preat dramatic power. .

-DREAM STREET" The latest production made by D. W. Griffith, "Dream Street," found ed on stories by Thomas Burke, is a great success at tha Chestnut Opera House, Philadelphia. It is a production entirely different in theme and treatment from the tremendously successful "Way Down East" but in every respect is as notable as that triumphant Griffith creation. Flashes of the unique Griffith comedy are discoverable and there is a tale that i if of cumulative interest, presented with the distinctive art of the famed , director and with a company that is ' of characterization. The love tale is • as poignant as that of "Romeo and j Juliet" but there -is a difference in a logical and wholly happy ending. 1 As is cqstomary in the case of a ' Griffith production the picture is •- shown with due regard for detail of lighting, of effects and of musical t setting. A large orchestra plays the special music that has been arranged ] to fit the. tale in its various manifes- ' tations. At the opening presentation 1 Griffith was in attendance to give L personal supervision and leading

members of the cast were present from New York 'including Miss Carol who has the leading role, of Gypsy Fair, a girl of the music hall stage pf London. Also in the cast are Ralph Graves, Charles Emmet Mack-, Tyrone Power, Edward Peil, Morgan WaUpce, Porter W. J. Ferguson, Charles Slattery and George Neville. The production is the vfiveTmndredth made By Griffith, a record that is memorable in motion picture annals. The characters in ""D'earn Street" from wistful windows and walk with visions along a street of dreams. There is Gypsy Fair, a dancing girl whose father is under the thumb of the police and who has 'become Vheir "stool pigeom" Gypsy dramatically makes the acquaintance of "Spike" at a street fair.

HILDRETH. ' PARADOXIAL FINANCE Number 4 c Perhaps there is nothing in all the , . realm of method in municipal finance 1 so deceiving and phantom-like as the f item called "Surplus Revenue." r If there is. an item with an unapy propriate name this is it! To make " it clear, Surplus Revenue is the name e applied to'unexpended balances In apc propriations. r The Average individual in business e would understand Surplus Revenue to

be that amount of Receipts over and above the amount expected to be re- , ceived. This is understandable and within the description. The unexpended balance in an appropriation represents the amount supposed to be in that appropriation not Used. It has no real representation in actusj receipts. Actually it merely consists of figures only " ' > and no ntopey receipts at all. i ' * The absurdity becomes "confusion worse confounded!' when, we remem- — ber that the law provides that Surplus Revenue shall be re-appropriated in the following year's .Budget. It surely must be apparent, that to ap- , propriate figures oiily with on tangible money receipts behind them is absurdity on the extreme. • . Is it not clear that there- must come a time when it will be. discov--ered that figures <lo occasionally misrepresent re&lities; and there will be a rude awakening to the fact that we are just that amount out' in closing . the actual cash.Balpnce. The Surplus Revenue as now known is misleading and untrue. There can be no surplus unless it is a Cash Surplus from actual receipts - unexpended. . *• It looks well only on paper.
