CONCLUDED OMICE WITH BREAKFAST Hams and Eggs at 5 a. m. Follow Grizzly Bear and Turkey Trot.

NEW YORK, Jan. 4. The social season thus far has been made conspicuous by many Innovations and the mid-winter season haa been marked by late dances, which have brought the early morning breakfast into favor. Breakfast la now as much of an institution at the large dances as the midnight supper, and it is no uncommon aight to behold society partaking of bacon and eggs at G o'clock in the morning. At nearly all of the large dancea given this season for debutantes breakfast has been served about the time the milk wagons begin to rumble through the streets. There has always been what is known us a second supper at lato - dances, but dancing has ho many ardent devotees this season that no one thinks of quitting abort of sunrise. Fashionable caterers are now busy preparing new breakfast dishes, for many of the late dances booked for the new year call for breakfast as well as for supper. The old-faBhloned, ordinary breakfast dishes, however, seem to be most popular. The menu at one of the largest debutante dances recently consisted of scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, hot muffins, coffee and cream. Hcorea of danceb might be mentioned where a substantial breakfast has been served to the late and hungry dancers. The demand upon the dancing men .this season has been noticeable, and it lis nothing out of the usual for a man to attend as many as half a dozen (dances in one evening. As the majority of the dancing men are in business, the early breakfast serves them for the entire morning, and they may ithus add another hour to their slum bers and rush off to Wall street with ouly a cup of coffee or a bracer to tide them over until luncheon. The retrospect of the season, with ithe new year In sight, shows that the Itlme-honored cotillon has given way to general dancing and such conventional .steps aa the, turkey trot and grizzly bear, wnicn are me proper ining now at the most polite functions. There Is hardly a reception given now at wrich some sort of dancing, be it the hulahula, Parisian glide, or East Indian, is not introduced. The American Indian dance is also coming in vogue, :s well aa the Russian. A girl from beyond the Rocky mountains is de1 lighting many gatherings with her Indian dances. ( These special dances are not given on a atage, as a rule, but in East Indian style on a rug in the center of the drawing-room, with the- guests ranged ton all sides in close range. Motion pictures are making headway as an entertainment for New York society and several affairs have been arranged for the new year where dancing will follow the motion pictures. Several well known hostesses are considering opening their houses and giving motion picture shows for charity. Amusements THEATRICAL CALENDAR. At the Gannett. Jan. 4. "The Goose Girl." Jan. 6.

THE MAN FROM HOME" All AMERICAN IDEAL

People Like This Rlay Because It Contrasts the tional Simplicity and Naturalness with European Sophistication.

BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE. "The Man From Home!" What constitutes the hold this play has upon the affections of the American public? For it is easy enough to see that. transferred to a foreign stage, it would f lose in appeal. It is not so much that it draws a picture of the great average American as he is known in Maine. Mississippi, Dakota, Indiana or California. Nor still fhat it breathes the spirit of that democracy which is, after all, the foundation of our social institutions even if, in certain phases, it is badly mangled. Nor still that its humour is of the most exquisite. But, perhaps, because it paints the portrait of a Man big, sane, generous, just, chivalrous, protective a Man as Ire should be in the sight of God. Maybe it's because there are bo few of them that makes the stage silhoutte more vivid. And if this is accounted, by some delightful optimist, a cynicism, let him look round and see how many realize the ideal of "The Man From Home." Although, in embryo he may be found often enough even in Indiana. The record of this play is remarkable in the annals of the American stage, aside from "Ben-Hur," which has a dozen years to its credit and "The Old Homestead," which has played continuously for a quarter of a century. "The Man From Home," written as everybody knows by Booth Tarkington, the Indiana novelist and playwright, and Harry Leon Wilson, a New Yorker, was first produced in Chicago in 1908. It ran in that city for one year, going to New York, where it remained two. Eighteen weeks in Boston, fourteen in Philadelphia and now in Indianapolis, for the first time, where it is playing to great audiences daily at the Murat theater one of the biggest in the country. And, where, after all, was its greatest success its longest "run?" On that very "great white way," the home of "The Girl From Rector's,' "The Soul Kiss," and "The Girl in the Taxi." Which may go to prove a number of things or may mean nothing at all. But it is the truth that a theatric production which makes an appeal to the highest ideal of the average man, and, in the portrayal, presents him realistically is the play that has the most catholic influence, f And, in its essence, the stage is a greater teacher of ethics than the church. This is because it preaches in symbols and pictures rather than making a direct assault upon the reason, the will or the emotion. Humanity is a child. It likes color, movement, Action. It loves, above all else, pictures. That is one explanation or the stage's lure. It presents not one, but a series of pictures. Not coldly, in paint and canvas. Nor senuously, as in sound. But in a living, breathing, palpitating presentment of life as men think they know it, or imagine they see it. And, paradoxically enough, stage art in its apogee of naturalness, is an artificial product. It is built upon a foundation of artifice. The most realistic exponent of the art is he who feigns the most skillfully. As stated once before otherwhere, art is a perfect balance. Art is neither moral nor immoral in its effect. It is only what is termed so when it does not preserve an absolute equilibrium. Art, like nature, is unmoral. And when it seems "moral" or "immoral" as those words have been more or less mistakenly coined, interpreted and applied, it is merely lacking in the proper values. The relation of values in an artis when the big musical comedy surprise "Let George Do It," with George P. Murphy in the title role will appear. Mr. Murphy will be best remembered as the "Oh-for-goodness-sake" waiter in "The Newlyweds." Aaron Hoffman, who is responsible for The Newlyweds and many other successes, is also the author or "Let George Do It," and he has provided Mr. Murphy with a fat part. At The Murray. Whenever Gus Sun undertakes to put out an act one may bank on its merits and his Childhood Days, playing at the Murray this week is no exception. In this act Mr. Sun, has placed only the best singers, dancers and comedians, and with Jules Held, who needs no Introduction to the local theaj ter goers, the act is ine of the best of the kind touring the country. One Is carried right back to the little red school house by the act. The Kennedy Sisters, have a singing act that is well costumed and well sung. Kraem and Bier man. the Hebrew freshman and the Sophomore produce fun in a decidedly novel way. The Ito family of Japs, have a big novelty in a magic act, that goes good, while Nat Wharton, the black face mimic and ventriloquist has made one of the biggest hits of the season for a single act. On Friday night, the school act will use May Aufderheide Kaufman's big song success "Bamboo Land." Perhaps of all Mrs. Kaufman's number this has made the biggest hit all over the country and the local public ahould take this opportunity of bearing it. "Martha." Flotow's charming opera, -Martha." has been selected by general request aa the offerng for the single performance to be given at the Gennett theater on Monday light, January 15, by the Aborn English Grand Opera Com-

Na-

tic composition whether poem, picture, statue, drama or symphony is merely the perfect preservation of harmony. "The Girl from Rector's" isn't bad, wicked, immoral. It is merely out of artistic balance. Of human focus. ."The Man From Home," isn't good or moral. It merely is an undisturbed equilibrium. There is, in fact, too much excitement, about the "immorality" of everything. Somebody says somewhere that "all good women aren't respectable and all respectable women aren't good." , Certainly many so-called "respectable" women are too much and often engaged in envy, malice and all uncharitableness. Don't you know leading church members who can tell you, on the side, the worst stories you ever heard about other church members or your next door neighbor or some one of the "smart set?" Isn't a goodly part of the tea-fights and thimble jamborees taken up with the relation of horrid scandals about the pillars of the community? Or aspersions upon the rigidity of Mrs. Blankety Blank round the corner? Or the horid doings of her husband or the sins of his stenographer or the failings of anybody else who happens to be impaled when the harpooning begins? Won't the most respectable woman alive wipe up the floor with one of her sex who happens to be younger, prettier, more attractive especially if she comes into competition with the former's feminine prerogatives in the way of masculine monopolization? The most uncharitable, unjust, intolerant and vituperative of her sex is only too frequently the "good" the "respectable" woman. Perhaps there is no sin named in the decalogue that results in greater social discomfort than that of envy. The hardest enemy to conquer is envy. It is as natural for the average human being to be envious as it is for the sun to shine. Especially the feminine being. She can't endure to see another outshining her in the social game. She lays awake o' nights seeking some way to check the enemy's progress. She will devote as much time to the planning out of a campaign for the discomfiture of her enemy or rival, whether acknowledged or unacknowledged as a politician will to the undoing of his opponent. She will go out of her way a thousand miles to say a mean thing, to insinuate a discreditable motive, to throw out an unpleasant innuendo. She will worry herself into premature age and her husband into bankruptcy by a nerve-wracking effort to keep up the pace. And what does it amount to in the end? A few cheap social triumphs that no one cares for but herself. Why aren't people content to be themselves without eternal striving to be like somebody else they can't possibly emulate? Why try to talk and sing and dance and paint and write and act like somebody else when you either can't do any of 'em at all unless it's talk or else have your own peculiar way, which is a thousand times more effective than any one else's if you only knew it. Personality is not transferable. Neither is talent. Nor charm. Nor adaptability. Why spend your time imitating and envying and slandering and "knocking" when all you really need to do is to be yourself? "I thought you started out to say something else!" interpolated the cynic. "Oh, wait 'til tomorrow," said the other person. pany. This delightful work belongs to the limited number of compositions in the lighter vein that are invariably included in every extensive series of grand opera in all of the foremost opera houses of the world, for while it is technically called an opera comique its music is of much higher order than that designation, while its chamingly romantic and human story appeals to the average theatergoer quite as much as do its many gems of music in Flotow's fluent style.

Don't forget the children their little insides need a good, gentle cleansing, too. musical production, "Miss Nobody from Starland," is one of Chicago's prima donnas, and is a product of San Francisco, whence came Alice Neilson, Tettrazinni and many other stars of grand and comic opera. In "Miss Nobody from Starland," Mi6S Vail portrays the role of an adventurous chorus girl, and she is accompanied by a clever cast of well known principals and one of the prettiest choruses in America. Of course, everyone has heard of the sensational aress rehearsal scene in "Miss Noborty from Starland," which will be seen at the Gennett theater on next Saturday, matinee and night. "The Goose Girl." Since the days of "The Prisoner of Zenda," and "Rupert of Hentzau" there was a wonderful dearth of the romantic drama, til three years ago when "Graustark," George Barr McCutcheon's dramatized novel was presented by Messrs. Baker and Castle. Their success with this romance was of such magniture, a worthy successor of the same calibre and which had attained prominence as "one of the six best sellers," was sought for, which resulted in their selection of just such another book of a romantic nature. j "The Goose Girl," by Harold MacGrath ana proDamy tne Dest novel written Dy that popular author of Action. The readers of "The Goose Girl," are legion and in nearly all instances, have united in commendation of this stirring and wholesome romance. The story of the Goose Girl, 'n reality the Princess of the realm, is delightfully pictured in the best ve'n of Mr. MacGrath. He makes her a qiquant, cheery, wholesome maid, who, when she arrives at her proper station, is in full accord with her royal surroundngs. The character of Carmichael in the book, the brave, generous and wholehearted American Consul, is ably retained by the dramatizer of this charming novel. At the Gennett tonight.

1911 ACHIEVEMENTS

LISTED BY EDI Monarchial Rule Will be Thing of Past Within Present Century. NEW YORK. Jan. 4. Back in the laboratory, after three days rest ; over New Year's with his family Thomas A. Edison yesterday wrote out a list of what he considered to be the greatest achievements in the world during 1911. Here it is: 1. The establishment of a Chinese republic. 2. Unexpected rapidity of the construction of the Panama canal. 3. Improvements in aerial navigation. 4. Important discoveries in surgical technique at the Rockefeller institute. 5. Final proof of the efficiency of typhoid vaccination. The rise and near perfection of the Diesel engine. "You put the republicanization of China first on the list. What do you think will happen to other monarch ies?" was inquired. "Within this century," he Baid, deliberately, "monarchies will be through and done with. I do not prophesy they simply will have to go. If any are left it will be only because the king remains a social figurehead. These newspapers are doing 'em up. Newspapers and monarchies don't jibe." Mr. Edison handed the interviewer a book on the "high cost of living." "If you want to do a good turn to workmen," said he, "get that book and write an article on it. He shows what ! things cost and what the poor man has ! to pay for them. Verify him by the i United States bureau of commerce sta- ' tistics. It's the middleman that caus- ! es the high costs.
