Just how It la th out-of-town theater that Is busy with the new T'7 that will soon be brouKht to Broadway. Atlantic City. Asbury Park and nnrabetof other nearby summer resorts are chosen by the various man agers (or their trjout performances. That Is why the first nlfhters have to Journey to the seashore In special trains these days, and why many people who never set to Broadway have the oppor tunity to see a real first nlfht. The Shuberts took The Shubert Gaieties of to Atlantic City and a special train of friends. Invited guests and Just ordinary folks, went along-. The "Gaieties.' by the way. Is said to be one of the largest Shubert pro ductionswhich is sarins; something! There are two acts with 2S scenes and the cast numbers 125. The enterprising firm of Cohan & Harris have tried out two new plays at Atlantic City during the past week. One is "The Acquittal" by Rita Well man and Phoebe Hunt, the western actress who plsyed the lead in "A Prince There Was" has the chief role. Others In the drama, which is described as being intensely "gripping." are Mary Jepp, Lillian Tucker. William Harrtgan (son of the famous Edward of Harrigan and Hart fame). Joseph Selman. Mor- tin Wallace. J. M. HoIIicky. Franklin Hall. Arthur Gibson, J. J. O'Brien. Ed ward Oeer. Harold Gwynne. John Row an and Norman Lane. This play also was produced In Long Branch and Asbury and Is scheduled for an early opening In New Tork. reply to his query is '"The trouble with you Jews is that you are too smart." "Oh. we're not so smart," ha says with a grin. "You only think we are. Who was the greatest banker? J. Pierrepont Morgan. Was he a Jew? Who was the greatest railroad man? E. H. Harrlman. Was he a Jew?" The title takea its name from the friendly doormat, which is the only friendly thing in the big hotel where he wishes to stay. So the poor little man wraps himself up and goes to sleep In the cold corridor. Another well known vaudeville man who will have a good part In "Welcome, Stranger" is Charles Dow Clark. Mr. Clark played the sheriff In the Cohan and Harris production of "Captain Kidd" a few seasons ago. Cohan and Harris are planning to send "A Tailor Made Man" and "A Prince There Was" to the coast and the last edition of the adventures of "Pot ash and Perlmutter" will also come out during the early season. Dark Rosalene closed temporarily so that the players might have a brief rest before their new season. Mr. Be- lasco's charming story of Irish life has had a very prosperous run and played to standing room only up to the day It closed. Mr. Belasco announces that the play will reopen early In August. Good weather has helped theater con ditions here and so have the continued crowds of out-of-town folks. Few rooms are to be had even in private bouses it is Just like convention time. Selwya Plans for New Season. Selwyn and company have planned for the most active year in their his tory during the coming season. Two new theaters will open the Times Square and the Forty-second Street, wnlch are near completion. Their first play will be Eugene Walter's "The Challenge," In which Holbrook Blinn will be starred. Donald Brian and Wal lace Eddinger will be co-stars in "Bud dies." a new play by George V. Hobart; Among the Girls." a musical comedy by Rol Cooper Megrue, P. G. Wode house and Raymond Hubbell Is due in September; "Wedding Bells," a comedy by Salisbury Field, will have Margaret Lawrence of "Tea for Three" fame as principal player; in October "The Daisy Pushers by Max Marcin and Fred Ishara: "The Whirlwind," by Porter merson Brown, will be seen in Novem ber, and "Tea for Three" will be seen on the coast with Elsa Ryan in Mar garet Lawrence's role and Frederic Perry and Arthur Byron In their orig inal parts. The play has Just closed its New York ensaeement. The Selwyns will also send Tumble on the road, by arrangement with Arthur Hammerstein. There has been rumor to the effect that Edgar Sel wyn proposed reviving his great suc cess, "Pierre of the Plains," In the fall. Mr. Selwyn starred in this play before leaving the stage to devote himself to aywrightlng and producing. Adolph Klauber, Mr. Selwyn s busl- ess manager, will bring out a new comedy (probably In association with Selwyns) called "Nighty Night," and CarroirMcComas has been engaged for a leading comedy role. Miss Mc- Comas has Just returned to town after six months overseas. William Brady to Open This Week. Coincident with the return of Wil liam Brady from Europe cams the an nouncement that his fall season would be inaugurated within a very short time. Tonight he will open the Play house with "At 9:45." which has had quite a successful preliminary tour. Written by Owen Davis, author of "Pinners" and "Forever After," In which Alice Brady has appeared as star. the cast includes: Marie Goff, Madeline King (seen earlier In the season in "A Little Journey"). Elise Bartlett, Ed ward Langford. John Cromwell, George Backus. Frank Hatch. John Harrington, Noel Tearle. Walter Lewis, Robert Thome. Frank Hilton and Alfred Hesse.

The story Is by Aaron Hoffman, who has written so many good things, and Mr. Cohan has been quoted in some of the out-of-town newspapers as saying that this play will make a million dol lars for the firm. Several changes, sug gested by the first performances, are being made before the New York open ing. The play la described as a shrewd plea for more consideration toward the Jews and there are a number of clever lines, which have been widely quoted.

AMERICAN HOME FOR GIRLS. Ar menia. Turkey. May 4. The house haa steadily taken on an orderly air, and Mrs. H. la such a born mother that the girls adore her and she is rob bing her own wardrobe to make them presentable until I have scolded and scolded her for doing it. Just now 1 caught ber slipping by to their work room with a bit of green velvet ribbon and when I accused her she confessed she had -taken it off hes own pretty waist to put on on for poor little Hay ganoush. a funny, squatty, little Turk. who I just know had an Irish father by the twinkle in her eye. and so she ap peals to me. so I smiled and let her go on. Ton see I have the sickness and the discipline to look after and there Is plenty of both, but my charges are be coming obedient and willing, realizing how very fortunate they are. Gossip takea the place of newspapers in this country, and it surely travels fast. They go to church and meet the poor girls on the streets. To show you how absolutely hopeless th proposition seems I may tell you that th three girls whom we refused to tak from th Armenian hospital as having contagious diseases bav been put to work ther nursing, and have stttr bad any treatment whatever themselves. They told our girls this at church and cried and pleaded with the matron to b allowed to com to us. Think of that: Th matron told them" that we would tak them In when they were cured. W ar going to bring It op before th executive commute (th on and .only missionary commttt). and see tU b don about so. criminal a thing, but I have my doubts as to any thing being done, these people are so absolutely ignorant regarding anything like a moral obligation. To lie about a thing is the usual way of doing. On a recent Friday morning I attend' ed the Resurrection srvic in the Greek church here and witnessed the ceremony from the balcony of the bish op's palace which is on one side of the open square facing the church. By mid night every Inch of space in that large square was filled by a surging mass of humanity, each individual carrying a long slim candle to be lighted by one held by the bishop. He enters the square after midnight gorgeously ar rayed and escorted by many church as sistants, he carries ia his hand a light ed candle from which the persons near est him light theirs and In turn pass the lighting along until the vast square is ablaze with tiny taper lights. The bishop ascends a platform erect ed for him and tries to say something which the crowd does not hear, and then retires in solemn dignity and state, presumably to the sacred enclo sure of the inner shrine in the church to pray, and then comes the crowning event of the celebration. The church haa a high tower of some eight or ten stories with an archway entrance In the lower stories, and the whol front blazes Immediately with light (elec tric it used to b that many men lighted candlea at once) firecrackers, Roman candles and every conceivable kind of fireworks, and amid the most deafening noise occurs the most as tounding spectacle 1 have ever witnessed.

By this time It Is almost S o'clock, and s many robed. church assistants, all gaily carry a large velvet square through the streets on which reclines I habitually makes many pickjes would do far better to epena tne lime ana labor invested in this way In learning how to cook meats (other than sole leather steak and chops or flavorless pot roasts), fish, fresh vegetables and cereal foods (especially tne two latter) In more attractive and wholesome forms than is met on the average home table. Pickles with saccharine (unwhole some for general use) Us only per fectly fresh, very small pickles of even size. Wash and cover with "brine to float an egg." using a weighted plate to keep them well below the brine. Let stand in this for 24 hours. Drain and plunge first into boiling water and then quickly into cold water, uraln tnor ouehly and pack into jars. Scald good pickling vinegar with any preferred combination of spices as suggested be low and to H cup grated horse radish to each quart vinegar. Have the spices and horseradish tied loosely in a cheesecloth bag. The amount of horseradish used is purely a matter of personal taste. Pour the scalding vin egar over the pickles and let stand over night. Next day pour orr the vinegar and reheat with the spice bag, adding a little additional fresh vinegar if it seems to have been too much weakened by the cucumbers. Just before pouring over the cucumbers the second time add 1 teaspoon saccharine for each quart vinegar (or more or less to suit per sonal taste). Pour over the pickles and seal at once. Since the strength of the horseradish is somewhat dissipated by heating, it is a good plan, if a strong flavor Is liked, to use half the total quantity of horseradish in the epice bag and to di vide the -rest between the jars, putting in what appears to be papier mache the body of Christ and a lot of other queer Imitations. This velvet sheet is carried by four men, one at each cor ner, so the body is lying as one does in bed. We went to another house to see the procession, and it was 3 o'clock when we reached home. Some of the men connected with our work were with us. After the procession has passed all the people go back to their homes, each carrying a lighted candle, and they have a feast of lamb killed the day before they fast all Friday. May 7.-This is a funny town, every thing being done by not and through carriers, who ar far worse than our much-maligned messenger , boys. I have been busy. Last Thursday May day we went out to the ruins of the city of Ephesus. It rained all day, but we proved valiant trampers, for It was tramp of several miles, and then some, with the rain pouring most of the time. It was a worth-while sight. We ate our lunch under the marble arches of the stag to the Coliseum and I sat on the broken arm of a fallen statue of which only fragments remained. It, Indeed, seemed incongruous to open sar dine cana amid such surroundings. It is about a three-hour ride on their funny dinky little "Ottoman empire" train. Coming back we sang the rest of them did and I listened, but when th men started the "Last, Long Trail" It was a little too much for me. We walked up from the station over the Caravan bridge, which Is far more pic turesque than anything els In the town.. . . . It in (freshly grated) with the last pouring of the vinegar. Suggested combinations of spices for sweet pickles are the following', the quantity mentioned being intended for one quart vinegar: 1. One-fourth cup "mixed pickling spice. This as purchased generally in cludes cloves, alspice, pepper corns, gin ger, cinnamon, mace, coriander, carda mons, mustard seed, bay leaf and tiny red peppers. 2. Two tablespoons mustard seed, 1 teaspoon each cloves, alspice and pep per corns, 2 small red peppers, H bay leaf. 3. One tablespoon cloves, 3 blades of mace, bay leaf, 1 tablespoon pepper corns, 1 red pepper, 1 inch stem, gin ger, 1 tablespoon celery seed. 4. One teaspoon each cloves, alspice. broken stick cinnamon, pepper corns, 2 blades mace, 3 or 4 sprays dry tar ragon. Where a hot sweet pickle is liked use additional small red peppers or add very cautiously a small amount of cayenne. The amount and character of the spices may, of course, be varied to suit personal taste. If a hint of garlic is liked the best plan is to tie a bruised clove of garlic to a thread, heating it in the vinegar for a minute or two only, or Just long enough to give an elusive, savory but unrecognizable flavor and then removing it by the thread. Sweet cucumber pickles with sugar The pickles should be as small as pos sible, perfectly fresh, and of even size. Wash and place them in brine as above. They may be left In the brine from 24 hours to several weeks If the pre cautions are taken (1) to add a little vinegar to the brine; (2) to keep all the pickles well below the brine with a weighted plate so that no part of any pickle comes In contact with the air. When wanted for use freshen by soak ing in cold water, scalding and cold dipping as in the previous receipe. Pro ceed as in the above recipe, but add 1 cup sugar (brown or white, as pre ferred) to each quart of vinegar. For the second scalding add one or more cups sugar, according to the degree of sweetness desired and, of course, omit the saccharine. For most tastes the horseradish may also be omitted or a smaller quantity may be added to each jar Just before scalding. A little alum (1 teaspoon to one quart water) used in the "quick scalding" water (which precedes the cold dip) tends to give crispness, though it is not absolutely necessary nor particularly wholesome. If a very sweet pickle is wanted it will probably be well to give a third draining, and scalding, adding more sugar during the last heating of the kvlnegar, so that it penetrates the pickles gradually and is not so likely to cause shrivelling. Use vinegar that is strong enough to stand three scaldings with out undue loss of acidity. In answer to several questions about shrivelled pickles, I may say that shrivelling is usually due to one or more of the following causes: 1. Cumumbers not perfectly fresh. 2. Brine too strong. 3. Overheating the pickles. 4. Too much sugar added ail at once instead of gradually. S. Exposure to air. S. Unsuitable vinegar. Softening is usually due to one of the following causes: 1. The growth of a sort of yeast in the brine. Slightly acidifying the brine tends to check this. 2. Exposure to the air. The pickles are best sealed.- IX kept la a crock a weight must be used to keep them well below' the brine or vinegar. One soft pickle may infect the whole crock full. PORTLAND, Or., June 29. Will you kind ly give directions for making- maraschino cherries, also for Lady Baltimore cake? Thanking you, MRS. C. F. P. You cannot make "real" maraschino cherries, first, because real maraschino cannot be used, and second, because it is not possible with domestic resources to bleach, toughen and dye the cherries to give the artificial color and texture of the commercial product. Following is an "imitation" which is- far more wholesome than the commercial prod uct and to my mind, at least, as attrac tive. Domestic maraschino cherries Select very large, firm, slightly under-ripe cherries, either white or bright red. "Pie cherries" will not do, though they make excellent candied cherries. Stone the cherries and place in pint (or smaller) Jars. Prepare a syrup using equal parts water and white karo (or glucose) and sugar. Boil two minutes, color very bright red with fruit color ing (to dye the fruit) and after remov ing from fire flavor rather highly with almond flavoring, or with a mixture of almond and rose water, as preferred. Pour over the cherries. Adjust the lids, not quite tight. Place on a rack in a boiler with hot water one inch above the lids. Boil 16 minutes. Remove from the boiler, tighten the lids and invert to cool. Wrap in paper to pre vent bleaching. Following is one of the many alleged "original recipes" for Lady Baltimore cake. If it is not the particular one of the hundred or so varieties that you had in mind please write again. NEWS OF THE THEATERS (Continued from Page 2.) programme of excellence.
