NEXT WEEK AT THE THEATRES By Delbert E. Davenport. Comstock and Gest will present "The Story of the Rosary," Walter Howard's romantic melodrama of modern war, at the Lyric Theatre, begining Monday, November 9th. The entire cast and production are direct from the Princess Theatre, London, and comes to Philadelphia after a brilliant and extraordinarily successful interlude at the Manhattan Opera House, New York City, where the greatest American critics voted the piece the best of its kind seen in this country in a decade. The scene might be any country of continental Europe today. The accoutrements of war are the most modern, and if one desires to see how modem armies look they need glance no farther than the stirring battle scene which is Act 2 in this drama. The staunch love of an impoverished army captain for an impoverished princess; the vindictive hatred of that young woman's father; the illy-devised golden attentions of a rival; the loss of the real suitor in the wilderness of war; the plight of his bride of an hour; the persecutions she endures; her turn to the church in final despair — these are some of the darker threads in a story of absorbing interest— a story which Author Howard has made by an interweaving of many strands of vivid, keen comedy. • • • "A Pair of Sixes" enters its fourth week at the Adelphi Theatre Monday evening and continues to be the most popular play in Philadelphia. In fact, the utmost capacity of the Adelphi is being taxed at most every performance, and judging from the growing popularity of this exceedingly funny farce it is certain to enjoy a much longer run than had been planned at first H. H. goers by producing "A Pair of Sixes," and he displayed rare judgment in selecting the players for the various roles. A company so perfectly balanced and so thoroughly capable, is seldom seen nowadays. "A Pair of Sixes" is one of those laugh-producers that no one should miss, because it is a screamingly funny hit, the very kind of a show that hits everybody in the right spot and sends them home chuckling with joy. The usual popular $1.00 matinee will be given at the Adelphi next Thursday, with the regular matinee following on Saturday. If you enjoy laughter and delight in unbounded fun of the wholesome sort, see "A Pair of Sixes," and do not procrastinate too long, because this successful farce will not be at that popular playhouse much longer. Edmund Breese, who, as Frederick Wagner in "Today," is scoring a triumph similar to that which was his us John Burkett Rider in "The Lion and the Mouse," was destined and studied for the medical profession, but just when he learned how to cure la grippe and a few other ailments, his inherent love for the stage took possession of him, and the medical profession is shy one doctor as a result Mr. Breese will be_ seen at the Adelphi Theatre soon in "Today." "High Jinks" will be the next musical show at the Lyric Theatre, opening a limited engagement at that playhouse on November 23d. "The Midnight Girl." which scored such a pronounced hit at the Lyric Theatre last season, will be presented at that playhouse again this season with the original cast, including George MacFarlane and Margaret Romaine. Guy Bates Post, in "Omar, the Tentmaker," will be an early attraction at the Adelphi Theatre. Sam Bernard, in "The Belle of Bond Street," will be seen at the Lyric Theatre soon. WALNUT ST. THEATRE. "Within the Law" will continue at the Walnut for week of November 9, It is easily the most interesting stage story sent to this city in many years, its equal will be a long time in coming. The splendid company headed by that sterling and beloved acress, Catherine Tower and the following cast, including Tom J. Evans, James Heenan, Harrison J. Terry, William Lambert, Katherine Daly as "Aggie Lynch," Robert Clugston, Grace Spaeth and others The story of "Within the Law" is an absorbing one. Mary Turner's mother died when she was a child, and her father, after giving his daughter an education, died without leaving ber anything else, so that at 10 she was compelled to earn her own livelihood. She went to work in the "Emporium," a large department store, at $6.00 a week, and worked steadily for five years. She despite the man opportunities otherwise There had been some stealing in the wag a good salesgirl, lived "straight" store and one day some of the plunder was found in Mary's locker. She was arrested, held a month for trial and was defended by a boy lawyer— his first case. The prosecutor was not sure that she was guilty and told Gilder the Emporiuui proprietor so, but Gilder went personally to the Judge, and asked him to make an example of Mary, as he wanted to stop the stealing in the store. On the way to pison Mary appealed to him, but he was obdurate. Then she told him why there was stealing in his store--he did not pay his girls wages on which they could live straight. In prison Mary knew many crooks, among them Aggie Lynch, a bad one, and glad of it, but Mary was straight in prison as she had been out, and served her full term of three years. While incarcerated she thought of revenge until she developed a plan to get even with the world which had ruined her life, by being a crook and entirely within the law. To assist her in her scheme she engaged the services of a lawyer and nothing was ever done without consulting him. Mary had brains and things went along swimmingly. Never for a moment had she stopped thinking of her revend upon Gilder, and her opportunity comes when Gilder's son Dick met her and fell in love with her. She married him. The climax of her revenge was when she said to the elder Gilder: "I do not love your son. I married him to get even with you. Four years ago you took away my name and gave me a number. But I have left my number and now have your name." This is the end of the play proper. Afterward Garson disobes her orders and with accomplice tries to rob Gilder's house. There is a murder. Dick sticks to his wife and she finds she really does love him. And the ending is logical. "Chauncey Olcott" wil play his usual holiday engagement in the Walnut Street Theatre, beginning December 28. The Thanksgiving attraction will be "The Old Homestead."

AS A HEALTH RESORT MAINTAINING A PUBLIC NUISANCE AND A MENACE TO HEALTH During the past summer months the sewerage system of Stone Harbor was continually discharging through the vent pipes and overflowing on the sidewalks and public streets. At the foot of Eighty-fourth street, it was emptying directl into the channel. A detail report was made by the Citizens' League to the Public Utility Commission of Trenton, who immediately sent their inspector to investigate and we are submitting herewith a photographic copy of a letter received from the Commission. The Stone Harbor Sewerage Company is operated and controlled by the South Jersey Realty Company or Messrs. Risley Bros. and Mr. H. S. Risely was serving the community at that time as its Mayor.

Board of Health of the State o New Jerse Trenton, Sept. 16, 1914 BUREAY OF FOOD, DRUCS, WATER, AND SEWERAGE Mr. J. H. Irwin, President, Citizens' League of Stone Harbor, o/o S. C. Woolman & Co., 421 Chestnut St., Phila., Pa. Dear Sir: In response to your recent letters in regard to local nuisances at Stone Harbor, N. J., an inspection of the conditions was made in company with Dr. Caley and others in Stone Harbor. At this inspection the report of your findings, a copy of which had been sent to the Secretary of the State Board of Health, was verified and found to be substantiall correct. The nuisances complained of in that communication, except those at the sewage disposal plant and the sewage outle at the foot of 84th St., were found to be of such a character that under existin laws they must be abated by your own local Board of Health. Dr. Caley was informed of that fact and no doubt has arranged to attend to the matters before this. The conditions at the sewage disposal plant and sewage outlet are being taken up with the Company by us. Very truly yours, [signature] Chief. FED/SY

B. F. KEITH'S THEATRE The twelfth anniversary of the opening of B. F. Keith's Theatre will be celebrated during the week of November 9. The bill for that week will be one that will delight the devotees of high-class vaudevill, the kind that has made the name of B F. Keith famous the world over. The Crystal Lobby will be additionally beautified by a wondrous chrysanthemum display. It is only natural that the show to start the new year would be one of unusual quality. The chief attraction will be Jesse L. Lasky's newest tabloid musical comedy, "The Society Buds," with Gladys Clark and Henry Bergman featured 'The Society Buds" are better fitted with material than ever before, so that this winsome comedienne and clever comedian will be seen at their best. Irving Berlin has furnished special musical numbers and new dances will introduced. Allan Dinehart comes with a brand new one-act oddity in the way of a delightfully interesting and pleasing sketch, called 'The Meanest Man in the World." He will have as support Mary Louise Dyer. One of vaudeville's standard acts is Billy Gould and Belle Ashlyn. They chat, sing and dance as do a legion of others, but they do it differently. Newcomers are and Mrs. Gordon Wilde, who have just arrived in this country from Europe. They are shadowgraphists. They proved a decided hit in London. Mindell Kingston, long a vaudeville favorite, has joined hands with George Ebner in presenting "A Vaudeville Flirtation," singing, talking and dancing skit Fred Sosman, a comedian and vocalist of rare talent, will offer bright hits of variety, and will have George Fairat the piano. The Maxine Brothers are capable acrobats, gymnastics and balancers, and an additional feature of their offering is Bobby, a wonderfully trained dog. Van Hoven, known as the "Dippy Mad Magician," gives a decidedly humorous twist to his turn. From the Alhambra. London, come the Magleys, specialty dancers, who will show an original dance revue. A special run of Hearst-Selig motion pictures of latest war incidents and interest news events will bo added to this splendid bill. FROM OTHER VIEWPOINTS Belgium, at least, does not have to explain to the world what it is fighting for. —Springfield Republican. Perhaps Britain, which has adopted "It'a a Long, Long Way to Tlpperary" Its army, might adopt "There's a In the Bottom of the Sea" for the navy. —New York World. It rather makes one shudder to wonder if the next war will be as much more horrible than this one as this one is more horrible than previous wars.— Indianapolis News. Just as Germany formally annexed Belgium. Turkey has formally annexed Egypt. Austria will probably formally annex Russia in a day or two. It's an innocent amusement and hurts nobody.—

CASINO THEATRE The Prize Winners, in "A Broadway Honeymoon," will be the attraction at the Casino Theatre week of November 9, starting with Monday matinee. The undoubedly has the gift of knowing just what constitutes a burlesque show. In such matters as scenery and costumes be better equipments are seen on any stage along Broadway, and exhibitions of skillful stage management are invariably present in this production. In the selection of the "Prize Winners' " cast rare good judgment has been shown, and the chorus is composed of girls who are not alone youthful and pretty, but who possess just the right chic and vivacity for a burlesque performance. Having been provided with musical numbers of the kind that keep an audience enlivened and highly entertained, the work of these girls is perfection itself. Thus, regarded from all angles, the "Prize Winners" will give a good burlesque show of the kind the patrons of burlesque houses demand. There is just enough of story to sustain interest, but it is the individual work of the principals in the cast that is responsible for the success of the show. All the comedians are capable entertainers in the true meaning of the word, and include Don Barclay, Hal Skelley, Sam Hyams, Edna Raymond, Clara Gibson and the famous "Hello Ragtime Girls" from San Francisco. Nixon's Grand Opera House, Week November 9. There is plenty of comedy, music and novelty in the bill announced for Nixon's Grand Opera House for the week of November 9. The chief attraction will be Jesse Lasky's "Six Hobos," which is just one big riot of comedy from start to finish. Skill and comedy will be displayed by the Sig. Franz Troupe of cyclists, a European novelty, the five members of the troupe being experts on the wheel. For those who enjoy good music the Four Melodious Chaps will furnish ample entertainment. Stanley Rhoades, Joe Armstrong. Joe and Dick Curtis compose the quartet and they are all Philadelphia boys. Lucille Tilton, a young singer who has been a favorite of the English music halls, will be heard here for the first time. Warren and Francis mix music and comedy together in a style that pleases. A pretty noveltv is Merle's Cockatoos, one of the most picturesque trained bird acts seen on the stage. In addition to the regular vaudeville bill there will be a series of the best laughing pictures. Dumont's. An extra matinee is announced by the minstrels for Tuesday, the entire bill of burlesques, and specialties being given. "The Convict Ship Success," showing a great sea battle and other screaming incidents, will continue to provoke roars of laughter, while "The Desertion Court" will prove highly amusing. "Mr. and Mrs. Castle Mt. Vernon," the dancing novelty, by Boyden and Lawrence; Eddie Cassady, with his good-natured squibs and jests, and others will contribute to the excellence of the entertainment.
