PHOTOPLAY MEN TO
INVADE THE STAGE
The Pink Rosebush
The Bromleys and the Northrops had
been close friends for many years, but
the tall hedge (hat now separated the
two houses was no higher or wider than
the estrangement that grew up between
the two families when Estelle Bromley
broke her engagement to Ned Northrop.
Bstelle had given no reason nor had
Ned ofTered any explanation of the Af
fair to his puzzled relatives, lie sim
ply went away from Merlvale and opened1
an ofTlce In the city where he had all the
success that might reward the efforts of
a young country lawyer whose mind
was more occupied with his own heart
affairs than with the bickerings of the
clients that came to him.
Estelle Bromley, weary of the whisper
Ings of a wondering vlltage and the re
proachful glances of Ned's mother, who
blamed Estelle, unheard for her ton's
departure, decided that as her future
was now In her own hands she must
provide for It as best she might, so she
went to another city and became, after
the customary apprenticeship, a trained
nurse.
In .Merlvnle they soon ceased to wonder
about the shattered romance; there were
always such Interesting things to gossip
over. Finally, after a few years, there
remained only the bitterness between the
Northrops and the Bromleys. Sometimes
the two estranged ones came home, but
It had so happened that their visits had
never occurred at the samo time.
Now It was May and the Merlvale or

BY THE PHOTOPLAY EDITOR
Tho most surprising development of
photoplaydom In months Is the rumor that
certain unnamed motion picture producers
are to Invade the stage, making produc
tions of new plays for runs In the reg
ular theatres. Hitherto wo havo seen tho
Broadway manager Invading tho photo
play Industry after be had waited long
enough to make sure there was money In
It and no loss of reputation. Now we
shall see tho worm turn.
The Idea of the photoplay manager Is
that he Can take a shdt at tho big profits
of Broadway and, fvhether he wins or
loses, have a certain advertisement and
good will for tho film drama that he will
build out of the same manuscript. It
isn't altruism. It's a business proposition.
But how does It stack up In that cate
gory? Are the photoplay men going to
know tho theatre camble anv bttnr than
tho Broadway managers who howl nt
the hard times? Are they going to be
able to make as good productions at as
small a cost; won't they have to pay
mure, lor instance, ror Better actors
than they use on the kindly screen which
shows a player at his very best? And
while one of their companies uses up
all its time in, the staging nnd acting
of d single play, won't they reflect on
how much more profitably they might
have employed them in producing a
score of photoplays? Lastly, are a
photoplay scenario and an actable drama
so much alike as most people think; Isn't
the art of the photonlay distinct from
the art of dramaturgy?
Part of the above rumor carried the
news that three of Broadway's biggest
producing firms ore to consolidate their
moving-picture Interests in such a way
as to enhance profits and get every pos
sible advantage In publicity and orrnnlm.
tlon. The snapper to this Is that they had
been told by a photoplay producer that he
wouiq pay me costs or production of anj
contemplated play simply to secure the
photoplay rights.

come home to help his mother and sisters
to derorato the graves in the family plot.

but Ned had run down to Merlvale be

His sister, Ellen Nortlirop,watched him

would be dismissed. But tho pink rose
was shirking Its duty; the few buds were
small and unpromising. Ellen let tho
branch fly back with a little whipping
sound und tramped through the grass to
her brother's side.
"I gueis mother won't have a pink rose
this year," she said, gloomily. "It looks
as if the bush were dying."

shouted.
His brother made an Impatient gesture.
"Arroll Great Scott, ho! Arrol nould

No, Plcssoy Admiral Plessey the man

Eustaro muttered an exclamation and
sat stating at his brother waiting for
what was to follow.
"Well, when I heard that," continued
Sydney with a sigh, "I felt as If vny heart
had gono snap. I didn't want to hear
more. But I listened. At the place where
sho had anted they told mo she was very
much In love with him and that she said
he was going to marry her
"But did ho marry her?" Eustace
craned his head forward eagerly.
1 Well, It don't sound likely. He was a
captain or commander, I forget which In
his Majesty's Navy, and sho was Just a
little show girl earning $10 a week."
"Well, where did ho go? Didn't you
trace 'em7"
"They were reported to havo gone up
to Montreal-nobody -was sure, no"dy
cared. I couldn't trace 'cm any further
nnd I went back to New York broken
hearted "
"Yes, yes, but you should have found
out If tliey were .married or not," Inter
rupted Eustace; "everythjng turns on
that."
"No, it don't. If you wait a spell. It
wouldn't havo made any difference. AVell,
when I next heard from you I thought It
best to tell you sho was dead and burltu."
Eustace sprang from his chair. "You
soft-headed, soft-hearted fool I" ho shout
ed. "Why didn't you track the man?
Why didn't you write to him? It's easy
to track an officer In the navy. You ain't
so virtuous as to discard your own sister
because she kicked over the traces, are
you?"
"I didn't know his name at that time,"
explained Sydney, sulkily. "I was an
ticipating. All I heard was a naval of
ficer." "Well, how and when did you find
out7"
"I'm coming to that. About two years
after I married Monty'B mother. We
spent our honeymoon at San Francisco. I
read In the papers of the suicide of a
girl named Allno Plessey In an opium
don. The Christian name Interested me.
I asked to see the body. Eustace, It was
Aline."
Tho brothers looked at each other.
Eustace was very pale. He muttered an
oath.
"In an opium denl Aline!" ho said In
a broken voice.
"Yes, sho had shot herself. I mado In
quiries. She had only como to the city
three weeks before. At the hotel she had
lodged at thoy had understood she had
como. down from Vancouver. She didn't
seem In want of money. She knew no
body In the city. The hotel clerks said
they could tell her for a victim of the
opium habit. When I had Identified her
as my sister they handed over her effects
to me. There were no letters no clue to
her movements nothing' of Importance
except tho portroittnto-that infernal
scoundrel her bitriytr, Inscribed. 'T6 my
dear wife, George Plessey.' ''
Eustace nodded, and made a note on a
Bcrlbbllng block. "Poor little Allno!" he
murmured. ,
"Eustace, over her body I vowed ven
geance on tho man who had ruined her!"
Sydney Dereve raised his hands In the
air. "I resolved to say nothing to you,
It could do no good. It was better that
you should think she was dead. I
didn't tell the story to my wife, either.
I was busy with my new business and I
couldn't leave Rachel within a month
of our marriage. Well, time passed. I
nevr gave up my determination to be
"01
In with a man named Huron."
Sydney paused and pasted his hanJ over
his brow. He made an obvious effort
lo recall the exact sequence of events
and again plunged Into his narrative.
"He was a good-natured, pleasant
spoken chap was Huron, who made his
living as a gambler, as far as I could
understand. We Btopped at the same
boarding house hero In London, and we
were always discussing schemes for rais
ing tho wind, as ho put It. He told me
frankly one day that he was n great
favorite with women and that ho knew
any number of married ladles of position,
who gavo him money-lent It, as he
called It from time to time. I wasn't
much Interested In this Information, tltl
one day I heard him mention tho name
of Mra. Plessey."
CHAPTER XXVI
F Mrs. Plessey?" repeated Eustace
Inquiringly.
"Yes." continued his brother. "You may
Imagine that I pricked up my ears at
that. Wo were sitting, I remember, in
that big bar on Piccadilly where all tho
dudes go"
"Jimmy's, I suppose you mean," put In
Euntacn. "It's Bono now. Go on."
"Ycm, Jimmy's, that was it. Well, I
caught hold of tho name and swallowed
mv drink to cuId down my temporary em
barrassment and then I naked him what
he knew about Mrs. Plessey. Ho looked
at me in surpriso nnd said: 'Well, she's
tho lady I've been talking so much about.
You can't have been paying much atten
tion to what I've been saying.' That was
Just it I hadn't; and now I wished I had.
Of course, I apologized nnd told him some
thing had distracted my attention. 'She's
a particular friend of mine,' says ho with
a grin, 'but she's got the very devil of a
husband.' 'Who Is her husband?' I asked,
knowing very well what was coming,
'Itathcr a big man,' he answered. 'Ad
miral Plessey, whom everybody thought
was going to be glvon the command of tho
Mediterranean squadron. But somebody
In the Cabinet had a grudge against htm
nnd gave the billet to another man. That's
made old Plessey pretty mad, and he's
leading poor Grade a deuce of a life'
Grade, I suppose. Is his wife?' I ven
tured. . 'That's right,' says he. I looked
him straight In the eyes and I said, 'Is
Admiral Plopsey a particular friend of
yours?' He said, 'What do you think?"
Well,' I said, 'I'm glad he Isn't, for he'a
a scoundrel and he ought to be lynched.'
And then I told him all about poor Aline.
"Ho listened with great interest and
was very sympathetic. I always liked
Huron, though I never nDnroved of tho
way ho hung around after these mar
ried women, Ho said he wasn't at all
surprised to hear this about the ad
miral, for men like that wer nlwnvn
the most Jealous husbands and the hard
est on their wives. Then he ordered
another round of drinks, and sat con
sidering what I told him. He made mo
go over the dates and the particulars
very carefully, and made a note or two
in his pocketbook. Then he looked at
mc In a peculiar way and said, 'I reckon
youd like to get even with the admi
ral?' I said that was what I'd set my
hcirt on and what I'd come over this
side for. He thought for a moment, nnd
said he might be able to put a good
uvjjuiiuiiuy in my way. '
Eustace .gave, a short of disgust. "What
uiu juu wqni an opportunity for? The
man had ruined your sister; you could
have gone straight to where he lived
asKed for an explanation, and put It
across him, good and plenty, with a
horsewhip."
"Well, it was my first impulse to do as
you say," declared Sydney Bomewhat
shame-facedly, "but Huron particularly
asked mo to wait, and I could see that
?en1Ta8 ?P. a g00d tn,m- Besides, to
tell the truth, I'd been living practically
at his expense for a couple of weeks
past and couldn't afford to quarrel with
"To cut a long story shorter, he was
off next morning ind didn't return for
close on ft week. It seemed to tho he
was a good deal graver and more deter-mlned-llke
when ho came back, and tie
eved me mighty curiously as If somehow
I'd become a much more Important per
son. As soon as we were In his bedroom,
with tho door locked behind us, he said,
'I guess I can put your enemy In tho
I.Aiitn, r vnii. hanrl If vein do what I
tell you.' Well, I listened, and at first I
didn't cotton much to the scheme. It was
a dirty one.
"Ho told me that the admiral was In
possession of ft number of plans and
secret code-books, which were badly
wanted by a foreign power. He meant
Germany, of course, Also, he knew It
aa n fact that he was working out the
plans of a new sort of torpedo"
Tho engineer uttered an exclamation
nnd glanced towards the safe, over his
brother's shoulder. Sydney noticed tho
direction of his glanco nnd proceeded
with his nnrrative.
"Tho admiral, as Huron had told mo
already, was on very bad terms with
the authorities, and wns believed to be
smnrtlng under the slight put upon him.
iiuron saw In these circumstances a
splendid opportunity for me to ruin tho
man v. ho had ruined my sister"
Eustace Interposed a question. "Why

You don't seem to have remembered that
