End of Long-standing
Controversy
JACK TAYLOR ITS CENTRE
A three months' controversy which has
threatened to disrupt the Bucks County
Country Club has finally culminated In
the resignation of three of the most
prominent nnd popular members of tho
famous Orundy organization nt Lang
horne, Ta. They arc J. Ashby Taylor,
his wife, and son, Jaqueltn.
The troublo arose on May 31, when C.
J. Matthews, president of the club, pub
licly reprimanded 17-yenr-old "Jack" Tay
lor for showing a number of companions
some new dance steps while on the floor
of the casino of the country club. The
youth resented the tone In which tho repri
mand was made and tendered an Im
petuous reply.
I'pon learning of the occurence, J.
Ashby Taylor, who Is comptroller of the
Central Railroad of New Jersoy, immedi
ately wrote to the president of the club

end tendered an apology for his son, also
advising Mr Matthewa that ha had given
the boy the alternative of apolbglstng of
of leaving home, and that his ton had
chosen the latter course. Mr. Taylor also
stated that he had Instructed Jtquelln
never to appesr on th grounds of the
club again
Mr Matthewa replied under the date of
June S, asserting that he hoped the mat
ter mldht soon be forgotten. On that
same dsy, however, "Jack" Taylor, pre
vailed upon by his sisters, wrote an apol
rv to the nresldent bf the club. The
boy's father considered the matter closed,
brought his son home one more ahd re
stored to him his membership card to the
club.
Everythlnr; went smoothly for aom
time: then one morning J. Hlbbs Buck
man. resident of Langhorne and
brother to Senator Buckmah, met Jacque
iln Taylor on a train and addressed a re
mark said to have been so Insulting to
the youth that It made other commuters
gasp with astonishment. "Jack" Taylor,
reared with strict regard for honor, re
plied with the impetuosity of youth.
Mr. Buckman Is attorney and close per
nnl friend to Mr. Matthews, president
of the Bucks County Country Club. On
June 21. two weeks after the previous In
cident had been closed, the secretary of
the club wrote Jacquelln Taylor that his
"case" would be considered at a metttng
of the Board of Governors, to be held on
June It.
Mr. Matthews assumed responsibility for
the reopening of the matter on the ground
that In his first letter Mr. Taylor had
given assurance that his son would no
longer be a member of the Country Club,
and that the agreement had not been
kept. At the meeting of the Board of
Governors Mr. Taylor appeared and ex
plained the entire situation, his own apol
ogy, of his son's leaving' home and the
tatter's final apology. Mr. Taylor Offered
at that time to resign the memberships
of himself, wife and son It the board
would decide the case on Its merits and
refuse to suspend his son. The board did
not accept tho offer.

Triangle Plays
It's only a matter of days, now, until the first
of the Triangle Plays will be ready.
They have been MONTHS in preparation.
All through the Spring and Summer Grif
fith, Ince and Sennett have been hard at work.
And with them, hard at work, too, have been
well-known actors and actresses enough to have
kept Broadway ablaze for half a dozen seasons:
DE WOLF HOPPER was there seventy
six inches of rollicking fun end on end.
Beautiful BILLIE BURKE with all her
charm.
DUSTIN FARNUM, strong and fine and
more convincing than ever.
RAYMOND HITCHCOCK with his un
ruly blond hair and contagious smile.
LILLIAN and DOROTHY GISH each"
equally sweet and lovely and lovable as the other.
DOUGLAS FAIRBANKS of Comedy
Street; the man who always makes you "glad you
went" to the play.
EDDIE FOY whose wide, moist smile
and merry eye is a week's vacation to "tired busi
ness man."
ROSZIKA DOLLY, who has danced her
slim, graceful little self into the hearts of all
theatre-going New York. .
MAE MARSH, who is "beautiful even
when she cries," and
BOBBY HERRON-who probably has
more friends than any man of his age on the
American stage.
But why go on?
The results of all their work arc nearly reacjy.
Beginning September 22d, Triangle Plays will be
shown at the Knickerbocker Theatre in New York; the
following week in a good theatre in Chicago, Philadel
phia and Boston; and by October 20th they will be
ready in one good theatre in every important city in
the country.
With so great an audience as this is it surprising
that these great actors and actresses should have been
glad to work harder than ever?
Is it surprising, with such collaboration, that
- GRIFFITH, producer of "The Birth of ' '
a Nation"; j
INCE, famous for the "Battle of Gettys
burg"; ,-. SENNETT, creator of Keystone- Come
dies,
and.the splendid directors working with' them, shoul'd
in!" VI ??f wythT CVcr imaincd in the mak
tng of beautiful pictures?
Is it surprising that the Managers of The Triangle
Film Corporation should have done their share, too, to
see that these extraordinary pictures should be ade
quately shown?
. Or that the best theatres all through the country
should be competing for the chance to show them?
'And is it surprising that not onlv the orr w.r,
public bUt thousands an! thousands of people SS'hSS
never thought pf going to pictures before sZld' W
waiting eagerly for the announcement of date and place?"

But,
