This is the state- of Judge Henry Nell, of Oak III., father of the mothers' pen- idea, who arrived in New >ork yesterday for a week or M> of «pccch- making on the big subject. Judge N'etl is stopping at the Mc- AJptn Hotel, and plans to addreas all organisations that care to hear him, free of charge. He explained to a Call reporter yesterday all the ramifications of the new law and the success that has at- tended it in other States. Relating to Its affect on organized charities he had this to say: "The idea and trend of the moth- ers* pension bill is to wipe out or- ganized charities snd the system of begging under the cloak of charity. Thd socializing of relief to the help- less on the foundation of taxes has been proved the logical solution of charity work. Cleveland After Intrenched Charity. "Already the city of Cleveland is taking steps to wipe out its incubus of organised charity. This city has had the most highly intrenched system of alms collecting and private relief ad- ministration of any city in the coun- try. It is quite a commentary on that ' system to find, therefore, that in the sone where it is strongest the struc- tare first begins to fall. "The fate of the charity workers | may he compared with that of the | •arlv private school owners back in the days when the public school SVK- tern was first attempted. That was, In 1829. Just as now the only oppo- nents to the mothers" pension bills are I the charity workers, at that time the only opponents of the public school system were the private school own-i ers. There were riots and violent at- i tacks of all sorts on the public schools. The verv thought of having the city teach its children free was declared an outrage." Judge Neil has made a name for ; himself in the remarkable task h e i has set for himself. He. travels over. the country unceasingly, stirrine up. sentiment for the mothers' pensions. crystallizing the sentiment into public , movement for the law. and finally watching it ride through the various legislatures to adoption. He pro- moted the law first in the bill that I went through the Illinois legislature j in 1911. Since then twenty-four States j have adopted the system. Wyoming and New York were the latest. Tennessee Ma* Adopt law. The judge has passed through the South. He successfully engineered the bill into the Ijower House of the legislature in Tennessee, where it was passed without a dissenting vote. On his way hack to New York he delivered addressees in Pennsylvania, The law has been working with pe- culiar success in that State. It Is operated by the appropriation of a special fund every two years. When the system first came in. two years ago, 1200.000 was appropriated. " The legislature now Is asking for $•#§,<• 000. It is provided that each county shall appropriate from its own funds an amount equal to the pro rata share of the fund it gets from the State for the mothers' pensions. Thus in Penn- sylvania the amount actually avail- able is double that named bv the State. "You can bank on it," said the judge, in conclusion, "the time will come when we won't have any beg- ging charity organisations.

This Shaw play has the punch that not only brings gobs of joy to the gentleman in the ticket-selling de- partment, but will inoculate the high- orows with germs of happiness, charm lovers ot sharp, pertinent lines enthuse the fans who appreciate satire and gratify Socialists and all kinds of radicals who like to ate the kinds of radicals who like to see the ties and the hypocricies or present- day society ridiculed. We feel positive that "The Doctor's Dilemma" will be a huge success, de- spite the fact that it took almost ten years for it to cross the A tl an tie. When we realize that it took gu many years for the arrival of one of Shaw's brightest and wittiest plays, we little wonder over the dramatists unwill- ingness to pay us a visit. However, there is hope. The fact that New Yorkers can get a good play in spite of the lack of intelligence among Broadway managers, and the fact that this good play can get such a cordial reception, shows that in the future we may have to wait only eight years instead of nine. The world moves and the spirit of prog- ress may inspire even a Broadway manager. Says one of the doctors in the last act: 'Life does not cease to be funny when people die any more than it ceases to be serious when people laugh." Who but a Shavian wit. could get a laugh out of a death scene? And who but a Shavian eoukl be so "indelicate" and. at the same mo- ment, make death as beautiful as a June morning? We shall make no effort to detail the story of this fascinating play. The author of a preface to "The Doc- tor's Dilemma,'' written, we suppose, by Granville Barker, and distributed with the programs, tells us that the play "was suggested by an actual ex- perience " Says the preface: "One evening the author was In the laboratory at the Hospital of St. Mary. In London, where Sir Almroth Wright had just perfected the clinical tech- nique of his new treatment of tuber- culosis by inoculation, based on that discovery of his of opsonin and the natural rhythm of Us production in the human body, which is described in the first act of the play. At that time the technique had been acquired by a handful of enthusiastic students only. Whilst Sir Almroth was desertb- it to Mr. Bernard Shaw, somebody asked the great doctor whether a cer- tain patient, newly admitted to the hospital, whom we will call X, should be treated by the new process. Im- mediately a protest arose on the ground that the staff of qualified ex- perts, at that time less than twenty, was being worked as hard as It could boar, and that. X was 'no good." Ber- ( nard Shaw, Instantly scenting dra- matic material, turned to Sir Alm- roth Wright and eald, 'Do you have to decide whether a man's life is worth sawing before you take him on for treatment?'; and though this sudden dotting of the i, very characteristic of t h e author, did not pass without demur, there was no escaping the hard fact that X's chance of being saved by the opsonin treatment actu- ally did, at that moment in the his- tory of the process, depend on the opinion of his moral worth which pre- vailed in the laboratory, as it was im- possible to take him on without either pushing somebody else off or, at best, making it impossible to take on an- other and possibly much more deserv- ing case. The decision in the cafe 0 f X may have been easy enough, as his iciti.l account appears to have been I heavily overdrawn: but the dramatist \ saw at once that It was only necessary i to posit the ease of a very interesting an extremely puzzling credit, and perhaps a wife, to make the Movie Ofte ( n V ' *m -i3.il 11 1 it o Di scour jL-e avj Pitiless Demands First Attempts of Film Beauties, Says Miss Pickford The -New Plays Of the Week i j L.

The marriage is one of two loves and great comrade- ship. Raeh one goes his or her own way In the workaday world and they hold their home life ab- solutely separate from their busi- ness life. When 1 asked her if she believed an aetress should marry young, she said: "Perhaps I am not competent to judge, as my married life has been very ha/ppy. I think a girl is much more settled after she is married, and when I look around at the unmarried girls that are earning their living today I think a. devoted husband Is a great safe- guard." Mias Pickford and Owen Moore played In many movies together before their marriage and are now both acting before the Cnivorsal cameras in California studios. C ^ By EDA D. M'GLONE GIBSON. (Copyright. IMS, Enterprise by the Newspaper Association.) "Some one. I think it was Goethe," said Mary Pickford, "has declared that genius Is only taking care of the detail. i have often wondered if, when the spectator gazes upon a moving picture, he really realizes how much care has been given to every detail in the picture," she continued. "The camera is pitiless, and sun- shine shows up every defect. Com- bine these and you have the most un- flattering vehicle that an artist can use to project his ideals. "Every woman has probably some time in her life posed for a photo- graph, and while doing so, in the knowledge that she had on a best frock, her prettiest jewels, and her most engaging smile, has decided that these will be the best pictures she has ever had taken. "And what was her disappointment and surprise to find that not only dress but her smile was awry, that her jewels had not caught light, so they showed to the best vantage. "The woman in this case can sit again. She can face the camera over and over, perfecting all these little details. "But when we face the moving pic- ture camera, it means that this is our only time. When the instrument be- gins to click, one la making movie history and it must remain good or bad. "I have known pictures that were ruined for me because the detail had I not been closely studied, because there was a had fit to the gown, or a. gesture made too abruptly to be graceful.

And sometimes it Is very discourag- ing. "A great deal is said about the large salaries that axe paid to the high-class artists who pose for the moving pictures. "The salaries are not high, you will realize, if you stop to think that It is only a very short time that one may be a moving picture actress. "The working period of a movie actress Is even shorter than the stage life of the legitimate actrcse. '"As I said before, the camera is pitiless, and while the mature woman may make herself up to represent, youth, and by softening the lights, perfect this Illusion, the movie actress must have absolutely no lines to show. "T do not think that one can suc- cessfully play youthful parts before the camera after thirty. "Consequently.

"That dilemma is not solved in the play, and never will be solved, llld- geon's choice—for which, by the way, Sir Almroth Wright is in no way re- sponsible—can be justified only on the sround that, as the opposite choice would have been equally unjustifiable in the abstract, there was no reason why, since one man or the other had to be sacrificed. Kidgeon should sac- rifice a man whose conduct he de- tested to one whose conduct he.re- spected. The author has. however, protested strongly against the assump- tion made by the thoroughgoing champions of the artist that he is alto- gether on their side. When Kidgeon points the moral of the play (as he conceives it> by saying that the great- est tragedy in life Is a man of genius who is not also a man of honor, evidently voicing the author's Puritan conviction, though he may not, like the author, see that this man of genius had his point of honor, too. and was comforted by It in his last hour as much as Blenkmsop might have been comforted by his different sort of honesty in the matter of cheques and women.

Where the Plays Are to Continue WAIXACK'B THEATKR -- Putting into practice one of his tested theories of the repertory theater, Granville Barker, beginning this week, has ar- ranged perioriiiam-Qs of his three pro- diutions in Wallack's Theater so that they will be given on the same night or afternoon each week of the en- gagement. With performances of three dif- ferent plays each week Barker haa proved by tests that it is a simple enough matter for the playgoing pub- lic to keep informed as to the attrac- tion on a given night, provided that the same play aomes on the same night eaeh week. Bernard Shaw's "The Doctor's Di- lemma," with Misa Lillah Met'arthy in the leading feminine role, was add- ed to the series last week. This most amosjng play by Shaw will fake its place in the series. For next week and until the end of the season at Wallack's, Mr. Bar- ker's productions will be given as fol- lows: Shaw's "Androcles and the Lion" with Anatole France's "The Man Who Married a Dumb Wife" on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Sat- urday night; "The Doctor's Dilemma'' on Wednesday matinee. Wednesday and Fridsy nights, and "A Midsum- mer Night's Dream" on Saturday mat- inee. This program will be main- tained. Any additional performances of the plays will be given at special matinees. BOOTH THEATER—Nothing tfould have been more auspicious for the ap- proaching Easter season than the pro- duction of "Alice in Wonderland" sue- i essfully made on Tuesday evening at. the Booth Theater. This is the ver- sion by Alice (Jerstenberg, recently presented by the Players' Producing •mpany, the same eoncern which controls it here, at Ihe Fine Arts Theater, Chicago. The excellenec of production and east, and the circum- stance that it conforms completely to the familiar stories by I^ewis Carroll, have won this attraction immediate popularity. Mbndav night begins the second and eonrluding week of tho Booth Theater engagement. MANHATTAN OPERA HOUSE-A third week, beginning Monday. March 29. has been added to the return and farewell engagement of "The Blue Bird" at the Manhattan Opera House. 39TH STfbEET THEATER—In "TaKing Chances," which is playing at the :?»th Street Theater, Lou-Tellegen, the famous Greek-Dutch-Fremh ac- tor, has scored the greatest success of his American career. Not*since he was leading man for Mme. Bernhardt has he had a rol#> which offered him such an opportunity to display his ability as a finished actor.
