EW TORK. July 12. (Special.)
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

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

Pickles with saccharine (unwhole

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

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.
