MRS. AtlCHIBALD THOMSON, the
cliatolatno of Cass Hocks Farm, who
entertains so lndefatlgably during the
aeason, gave a delightful luncheon yes
terday at her homo to the fifty or more
guests who had beon Invited to play In
a golf tournament arrangeJ by Mrs. Alex
ander Brown at tho Point Judith Countty
Club. Of course, there were any number
;of Phlladolphlans among them, for that
particular set to which Mrs. Alec Brown
belongs seems to foregather at tho Pier
and to keep the ball rolling at n. pretty
lively clip, even during tho duller times
when othors are suffering from extreme
ennui. Among those present were the
Harry Wnln Harrisons, tho Fiazler Har
risons, tho Jack Fells, Mr. and Mrs. Kd
ward Lowbor Welsh, the Frank Samuels,
Tom McKeans, Bon Chows, Phil Stovon
eons, Mr, and Mrs. Caryl Itoberts, Mrs.
Charles Randolph Snowden, Kitty Smith,
Hannah Itandolph, Plunkett Stewart,
Phil and Etnlen Randolph and Kodman
WanamaUer and a score or more from
other cities. Only twenty of tho guests,
nil of whom had entered for tho tourna
ment, played because of a rainstorm.
Saratoga likewise has a scattering
of Phlladelphlans who arc doing their
share of entertaining. The Harry Diss
tons, who are there for tho races, gave
an Informal dinner on Thursday for tho
Dal Dlxona, nnd the night before Mrs.
Eddie Cassatt gave a birthday dinner to
about thirty Guests.
iV Mrs. Hodman Grificom. who. as usual.
Is occupying her houso at Watch Hill for
tho summer, recently received a beauti
fully carved motal box with an appeal
from Mrs. Darlta Spencer to dlsposo of
It, as follows:
"I wonder If you would be Intel estcd
to help In tho Individual case of a re
markably Intelligent French boy, 21 years
old, who has lost tho use of both legs
forever thanks to a heart wound. Ho
was previously a teacher of fencing, and
Is now homeless nnd friendless, as he
camo from ono of the Invaded districts.
"This boy, during tho last year, while
In the hospital, has mado somo of the
most unique and beautiful carved metal
boxes. I have never seen anything like
them, and I brought over a dozen or so
with tho Idea of having them raffled off,
say a dollar or two dollars a chance,
wherever I could find some ono at a sum
mer colony willing to take the trouble.
"In that way every box will bring In
qulto a sum, which will serve as a prin
cipal with which the boy can start a'
little business. He certalnlyjias the abil
ity, and doesn't want to spend tho rest
of his life as a public charge--
Mrs. Spencer has but rccajaffVjreturned
to New York after a vlsllJfour War
fronts In behalf of the wounded. Mrs.
Grlscom was very much touched by tho
case and immediately "got busy" ranting
off tho box, with the result that 50 of
our good American dollars are now on
their way to this "young soldier of
Franco" and Mrs. Richard B. Mellon, of
'Pittsburgh, Is the proud possessor of this
most artistically wrought box.

CHAPTER XX (Continued).
ONE point I was at ease, so soon na
01,
recovered enough trom the exc tpment
of tho affair to realize It. Tho Clymene was
athrlll from stein to stern with a deep,
heavy vibration -not unlike the purring
of a fger cat many tlmcJ magnified. It
told me that, for one thing, Ureer had at
least kept his word about having stenm
up nnd all prepared ngalnst our coming;
for another, that we could presently slip
anchor nnd glide gently down the estuary
nnd over the bar, beyond which Iny the
open North Sea.
I dodged back to tho stern sheets, and
there leaned upon tho rail, watching for
Indications of the pursuing boats. A far
dim clamor npprlscd me that the chase
had not been abandoned and a few distant,
glimmering lights, dancing over tho face
of tho river. I thought to be lanterns In tho
prows of rowboats. Also, from the flicker
of lights ashore, I gathered that the town
was waking up and growing more and
more excited.
It was several hours nfter we had cleared
tho bar and had reached tho waters of the
high sen tint tho late winter morning
dawned dim nnd gray. Sovrance and 1.
standing upon tho deck, were congratulating
ourselves upon the what now seemed our
safety from pursuit. For, far out on our
port side, Scvrnnco pointed to a dark bulk
that, as wo looked, took shape out of the
foimlessness of the sea. Something In the
welt-known grncefulnoss of tho outlines
made us aware that It was the Slyosotls
But even as I looked, Sovrance seized my
arm nnd whirled me sharpty around.
At somo distance to tho south, apparently
following In our Immediate wake, loomed
nnother shape the shape of a vessel con
siderably our superior In size nnd weight,
lllng the British ting.
I seized the blnoculnrs Tind rattled off
Hip tings as quickly as I might. Sevrance
ruRtled tho leaves as briskly, hardly had I
ended, than the codebook crashed upon the
deck ns Sernnce snatched the glasses from
mo without ceremony, and, turning, directed
them to tho southward.
"What tho deuce ?" I gasped.
"Wo'ro pursued!" ho cried. "Now I
know I By heavens, Gordon, we're In for
Ho returned the glasses Just ns Callahan
camo tumbling up tho hatchway, drag
ging after him n man by the rnllar.
"This damned furrlncr, Georgo Pike,
sor!" he cried breathlessly. "Been nplayln'
tho dlvvll's own trlck3 with my engines!"
"Get back to you engines!" Sovrnnce
roared. "Full speed aheadl What's that
about Pike? Let him go tnrow mm over
board but get "
Sly eyes wero glued to the glasses. For
an Instant I gazed at random, scolng
naught to Justify his excitement; but a
moment later a henvy yet acute report
rolled over the waters, and following the
apparent direction of tho sound, I brought
tho binoculars to bear upon what I then
chose to consider the enemy.
A whorl ot vapor, snow white against the
black smoke from her funnels, showed that
tho gun had been Mrcd from tho war ves
sel. From her single mast, below the en
sign of her nationality, Happed a lino of
(lags nnd pennnnts.
She was coming on at top speed, ram
ming a heavy, clumsy-looking nose Into tho
sullen, swelling seas, as If In determined
nnd relentless endeavor tooverhaul us.
Something in the ugly shape of her
seemed to strike cold terror Into my heart.
I saw ourselves doomed to capture and Im
prisonmentlong durance In the English
prisons as penalty for our violation of tho
laws of neutrality. A suspicion that Groer
had played Informer Mashed through my
mind, and I cursed him and hlB kin, root
and branch, bacK to tne primoruiiu muta
tors of his breed.
But Sevrance was all alive, nor In the
least content to throw up the sponge. In
a twinkling ho had the codebook in hand
again and Garvin had possessed himself
of the glasses, without a word of apology
for his unceremonious manner of taking
them from my hands. He read the signals
clearly, moro swiftly than I could have
which was his sulllclent excuse while Sev
rance translated, a grim and determined
smile about his thin lips.
"Stand bv!" I heard him say at length.
And then again the forward gun of the
pursuing vessel spoke, smothering his voice.
Ere the echo died he had cast the book
aside and was smiling blithely into my
eyes.
" 'Stand by or we will sink you,' Gordon,"
said he. "Shall we?"
Instinctively I looked toward the Slyo
sotls. "Shall we desert her?" I would
have asked, bethinking me of the yacht's
precious burden. But the yacht was now
surging ahead swiftly and swinging off at
an acute angle from our course.
"Oh. she can take care of herself: they're
In no danger. It Is we who are wanted
wanted bad a price upon our heads! Let
them shift for themselves: we'll make a run
for our ovyn liberty!" He paused, his face
darkening as he caBt a glance down the
length of the Clymene's deck. "Hang It
all!" he cried regretfully.
'What now?"
He flourished a hand with a gesture of
helpless choler. "If things were only other
wise! If that were nny but an English
vessel, I'd give her all the fight she wants!"
"You'd
"Fight, If she were say German? With
all my heart, man! It drives me frantic to
Bee those guns and realize that wo cannot
use them for we can't turn them against
a ship of our own country!"
"Guns?" I repeated.
"There!" he Indicated, and "there, there,
and there!" jerking his fingers fretfully to
ward four quarters of .the deck, where some
objects which I had theretofore placidly
and stupidly considered parts of the ma
chinery stood hooded In shining water
proof. 'Two twelve-pounder and two slx-pounder
rapld-nre guns," Sevrance explained with
forced calm. "The largest guns those fore
and aft are the twelve-pounders. Great
heavenB, man! haven't you troubled your
self to wonder what those might be?"
Ho Indicated two heavy, shspeless ex
crescences, moundlike lumps of oilcloth, of
a size superior to the guns. One was
placed, as exactly as I could determine,
amidships, the other toward the stern,
Whitehead torpedo tubes long 18-lnch,"
he stated briefly. "Now, that boat atern
there 1" He took up the glasses and sub.
Jected our pursuer to a searching scrutiny,
"Torpedoboat destroyer," he said, his face
clouding. "If I mistake not, the Asp, of the
Channel Squadrcn. She could blow us out
of the water, if but, of course, we can't
resist."
"You think it possible to resist a de
strojer?" "Possible, Gordon 1 My wordl" And he
waggled a Bagacious forefinger under my
nose. "Possible I If that were only French
or German, I'd, take the chance in a mo
ment I In a case like this, who strikes
first wins. New, If I could launch a well
aimed Whitehead before the Asp gets down
to work, ypu'a get some fancy pycatechnlcs,
I propilsa 3toil Bowevew must run.
AtJTItOrt OF
THE BRASS BOWL"
But there's one thing: we'll do It under
our true colors the Russian colors, Gor
don I"
He called to Gnrvln nnd ordered tho
Russian colors hoisted to the masthead.
Steanwhlle, Callahnn had disappeared ;
evlder.ee of his presence In tho engine room
was presently manifested In tho Increasing
speed of the Clymene. Even In the brief
period of our talk the pace had waxed fast
nnd furious. Now we were fairly shoot
ing through the waters, the sharp stern of
our boat cutting tho wnves like the blade
of a knife. From out tho funnels, twin
columns of heavy smoke poured, to bo cut
off as though pressed down by an Invisible
slvcld Just nboe their black mouths, and
spiead out fanwlse, trailing behind us, nn
ebony pall lengthening Into the south
For the moment the mists had closed be
tween us nnd the Asp As my thoughts
went back to her, she gave token of her
continued pursuit and unremitting vigilance
by a slngjo sullen nnd portentous boom
that rolled over the sens I he the deep
throated belling of n bloodhound with nn
effect upon ns, Us hearers, scarcely less
nwt-lrisplring
I shuddered, nnd, turning to the rail,
looked for the Slyosotls. At nrtft glance
t fancied we hnd lost her; but n second
thorough Inspection of the waters maybe
because tho log was thinning between us
nil the t.me showed me her dim and ghost
like form Hitting northward, still In com
pany with us, yet, I fancied, constantly
dlxciglng toward the west.
So they were deserting us ! Thnt convic
tion fotced Itself upon me; I smiled b tter
ly. thinking such n course no more than
characterstlc of tho ship's olllccrs, who, I
made no manner of doubt, wero nil sub
orned In the sorvlce of the Hcrr Captain
Kurd von Holzborn whose memory I
cursed.
But as for my Henrt's Desire, very well
I knew that she had no hand In this cow
ardly abandonment. Thnt sho realized .t
at all 1 doubted; but If sho did, I wnn con
vinced thnt It wns ncalnst not only her
1 will but her expressed commnnd thnt the
.nyosotls wns seeking Its own safety.
T.io shadowy vision of tho yacht van
ished and was lost Eight bolls sounded,
nnd w.th It came tho change of wntch.
We were driving notthwnrd nt top speed
then, the vibrations of her heavy engines
making tho frnll hull of tho Clymene to
thrill from stem to stern, ns n slight nnd
slender body shaken with the mighty pulsa
tions of n henrtidlsproportlonntcly huge.
Both the Asp'nnd our consort had disap
peared entirely. Thcro was naught on deck
to claim my attention ; nn Insistent restless
ness possessed mo wholly. I found myself
unable to keep still, obsessed with the notion
that something ought to be done that I w.sb
delinquent In my duty, who stood thero on
the br dgo Idly, hands In pockets, n puppet
amongst men,
At last 1 wandered away In search of
Sevrance, whom I found In the wardroom
In close confabulation with Garvin or
rather, I should say. In enrnest argument.
Gnrvln, as I came down the compnnlon
wny, seemed to be urging upon him some
courso to which Sevrance ns strenuously
wns objecting.
So absorbed wero they thnt I was nc
cordod but a passing glance, ns one of In
considerable authority. Slightly piqued, I
turned to lcavo them to their own devices
when my attention was caught and held
by Garvin's words.
"But, Sir. Sovrance, sir," ho was urging,
"It Is tho most sensible thing to do, sir.
Let mo tell you thnt the Asp will not dare
join Issue with us If we show her that we
a-. not content to throw up our hands nt
thi wnid of command. You forget, sir, that
wu fly the Russian fine. D'ye think that
tho cemmander of the Asp will not ponder
It n long time ere ho declares war on a
friendly nation? So long as wo acknowi-edgi-
ourselves Brtlsh subjects by standing
by nnd meekly permitting them to board
uc well. In thnt case the authorities will
hnc gained their end; they'll have frlght
e;.ed us Into submlslon. But If we only
pretend to resist make a show of resist
ing "
"Wo re doing that now," Sevrance coun
tered doggedly.
"By running nway? Granted. But, al
lownlng that a stern chase Is n long chase,
do ycu beltevo that we will distance tho
Asp, the fastest vessel In these wnters?"
"Slost certainly. Slore I know It. When
we get Into our stride. Callahan says "
"Ah, he says ! But does ho know, sir?
There's tho question. You're trusting to
luck and chancing prison not only for
yourself nnd Sir. Traill here, but for the
pack of us. Don't you think you should
show us some consideration, sir give us a
well, say, a fighting chance?"
Sovrnnco, his face overcast, grumbled n
dissent.
"We're nil tried men I menn the most
of us are. Sir. Sevrance, sir," Garvin
pursued. "We've served In 'most every
navy the world over. I could muster half
a dozen gui. crews without any trouble
and nut only thnt, but the magazines nre
full, sir, nnd tho torpedoes themselves lack
nothing but their war beads "
"No," declared Sevrance solidly.
There was determination in his tone,
yet I sided with Oarvln.
"You're unfair, Tony," I broke In. "And
Garvin's right, Give our fellows a
chance "
"Thank you, Sir. Traill, sir," said Garvin
earnestly.
"Look here, man. it can no no narm
Jo have tho guns loaded against emergen
cies, can It? We'll agree thnt If worst
comes to worst we'll surrender to the Asp
without firing a shot. But "
"Well, but what? What maggot's In your
brain now, Gordon?"
"Consider It calmly, dispassionately. Here
we have caught aboard a man whom It's no
stretch of the Imagination to consider an
agent of the revolutionary party. Do you
believe for a minute, Tony, that he chanced
upon us? Don't you suppose that the Secret
Chapter know all about us, and Bent him
along only to do what he could to disable
the ship? Is It likely that they would
neglect to Inform the authorities? Indeed,
we've proof that they've done just that
the Asp back there and perhaps they've
put the Japs wise. Those little chaps"
I pressed" my point home as I saw Sevrance
weakening "are capable of stealing a boat
on their own account, If they fancied that,
by so doing, they could prevent the Clymene
reaching Llbau."
"Oh, very well!" He surrendered with
a flirt of his hand. "Have It your own way.
but Garvin had started for the com
panion way; Sevrance recalled him with a
word; "Oarvln I"
"Sir?"
"You understand, you are to tell the men
that the first who fires a shot against the
Asp, or any other British vessel that mixes
In this squabble, will be shot by mo In
stantly, Tell 'em not to forget It," he added
Erimlv. producing and examining a brace
of heavy revolvers.
Garvin saluted. I fancied a twinkle of
amusement lightened his eyes. But he said
"Yes, sir' very gravely, and left the cabin
without another word.'
CHAl'TKIt XXI.
The Duel.
AFTER a while I went on deck again, still
J. under the restlessness that ran like
fire In my veins. Ah. well, but
I was new to this sort of thing, a timid
stranger in the wilder walks of life.
The Clymene was plunging on like a thor
oughbred racer, through a dark cloud that
hid all else from us. Whether the Myosotls
or the Asp were far or near, it was Impos
sible to say. In the bows (he lookout was
staring anxiously Into the fog-bound dis
tances; another was on duty In the mast
head, hidden from my sight by the lowering
clouds. Because of the necessity for escap
ing our enemy, the fog gnals were
neglected; to use them would be to provide
the Asp with a trail of sound. But na
other possible precaution was slighted , at
any moment a vessel a flahlng smack or
more important craft might loom out of
the obscurity dead ahead, and there was
about the entire yacht an air and attitude
of strained and tense-strung expecurjey.

cille Cnnnngh nnd George White, who
feature the bill this week, were given n
hearty welcome last ntght Their presenta
tion Is a medley of songs, dances and
gowns, with snappy steps, music moro
snappy still, and many other things which
go to make up nn act of tho A No. 1
variety.
Miss dvnnng'i wnn delightful The num
ber Includes nn "Army and Navy" dance, a
unique Interpretation of the Dvorak "Hu
bioresque." nnd a "Dancing Proposal,"
which Is graceful In ovory nense of tho
word. Sir. White Is moro than obliging.
He Is willing to lllustrnto any dance sug
gested by the audience. His performance
Inst night was highly creditable.
Chief honors so fnr ns the npplnuse was
concerned Wero shared with Wllllo Weston,
who followed the dancers with a number
of character songs nnd satires which mado
a hit from the word "go." He had a negro
song, a few short verses, a Hawaiian song
and n patriotic recitation which roused tho
nudlcncc to it high pitch of enthusiasm
Hentrip Slorelles prnnd opoin sextet In
"A Study In Bluo" proved moro than pleas
ing and a wclcomo nddltlon to the bill An
other hit wns scored by Donald Kerr and
Kllle Weston, who gaAe an unusual exhibi
tion of nifty and ccccntrlo dances. The
enno danco nnd ncrobntlc whirlwind dnnce
were among tho features of tho number.
Miss Weston's costumes were remarkable.
Though featured by dancing numbers, the
bill Is not lacking In variety, llonnlr, Ward
and Fnrron have nn Interesting skit, "Are
You Lonesome," which made a hit. It Is
original to say tho least.
Other numbers Includo Thomas Swift and
company in "Ste nnd Star'," a combination
of mirth nnd melody; Harry Anger with
Stary nnd Jano King In "No Change,"
which failed to please to any marked ex
tent; the Dure Brothers who g.ivo a won
derful exhibition of nthlctlc nccurncy, and
the Flvo Idnnlns from the New York Hip
podrome. Tho pictures decidedly were too good to
miss. l- It. G. F.
Maids of the Movies Globe
They nre "All nt Sea" this week nt the
Globe At least, the "Maids of the Slovles"
are. Tho tabloid music-it number of that
name scored a decided hit, with n number
of popular songs nnd snappy chatter. Billy
Du Vnl, the first comedian In "All at Sea,"
scored, too.
Tho bill Is good. Low Clark nnd the
Bordon Sisters have nn entertaining num
ber. Others nro Baker, Sherman and Bran
Igun, with somo new songs; Slorgan and
Clifford, William Lytoll nnd company, Earl
and Sunshine nnd Snowle Slabclle,

Other nun hers Includo tho Crelghton
Hornn Trio, with their "Sludvllle Slln
strols" ; Dorothy Herman, the Durklns, who
recently returned from a tour of the world,
and others.
Al White Cross Keys
Al White, with his "Dancing Revue," had
no trouldo In maintaining headline honors
at the Cross Keys Theater last night. He
scored from the start and so did Sllbs
Frances Connelly nnd the entire compnny.
The rovuo Includes a graceful nnd Inter
esting exhibition of tho latest steps, some
of which might bo termed almost acrobatic.
Other numbers Include "Wake Up, Amer
ica," a musical sketch; Edna Wallaco Kin
ney, the Georgia Comedy Four, Olive and
Dwyer nnd Luclle Savoy, In a posing num
ber. Receiver for 80-Ycnr-OId Jersey AVoman

Last n ght the theatrical season of 1914-17
opened With the excellent portents of a
cool night nnd a brisk show. It Isn't neces
sary to determine which got tho more ap
preciation from the nudlence at the Broad.
Tho fact remains thnt "Flora Bella," nn
operetta put together and over by eight col
laborators nnd a mnnnger, began Its career
under decidedly favorable conditions.
It wns a very long show nnd It stnrtcd out
by being n very tedious show. But when
Charles Purcell began nirtlng with Slurlel
nuuson nuout tho middle of the first act,
tho thing took on life and It never gave up
tho ghost till tho ilnlsh. The humor Is
largely noteworthy by Its complete absence
frnm tho stngo when Lawrcnco Grossmlth Is
off taking n rest. But tho music, the Blnglng,
tho acting, nnd the staging have zip to
them, nnd when producer has chnwed sev
eral hunks nut of the dull first act. "Flora
Bella" should havo a good chnnco of life on
Broadwny. Just now, with the opera season
nfnr off, It Is the ono best bet for diners
who like to take the r demltnsse In n play
house box about 9 o'clock.
Somo tlmo before Cosmo Hamilton went
to the front nnd came back to tell tho ladies
of the Drama League thnt he only wanted
enough money to keep him In spats, he
wroto a moral llttlo pleco called "The Blind
ness of Virtue." When John Cort received
the manuscript of "Flora Bella," writ In the
original hyphenated tongue of Slessrs.
Doermnnn nnd Cuvllllcr, ho recognized In
fnlllbly that Sir. Hamilton was tho man to
mako It over for American consumption.
Hero wni a prlnco whose lovo for hli
wife hnd cooled becnuso she had ndopted
the moit modest and housewifely of man
ners to hide her enrly career In tho caba
rets. Virtue needed an oculist fast enough.
But when the story wns over nnd the prince
hnd won his wife nnd tho princess had
won her husbnnd, both by a visit to the
old cabaret where tho wife displayed her
charms as a dancer nnd pretended all the
tlmo she wns her own twin sister. Sir.
Hamilton might have called It, "Tho Clear
sightedness of Passion."
But be that as Goorgo Slunroe would
havo It, tho story moves swiftly as well
as cons stently nfter It gets started.
Sloro Important still. Carl Randall has pep
pered tho second act so liberally with
cnsemblo nnd Individual dances, that it
cnrrled tho audience nway In a burst of
real enthusiasm. It Is only fair to say, how
over, thnt the enthusiasm began with Jo
seph t'rban's stunning setting, n church
crypt turned Into the danco hall of the
Golden Calf. Sir. Urlian's vividness, fertility
nnd success nre now old stories to tho
American stnge.
Tho company In "Flora Bolla" Is de
cidedly good. Linn Abarbanell finds op
portunity for much humor ns well na good
singing. There Is Lawrence Grossmlth to
help the Jokes along. A little old man
named Adolph Link, who gave New York
a striking bit of work in "Tho Weavers"
last yenr, runs nway with two very tiny
"bits." fSIurlel Hudson blllleburkes much
more pleasantly than Sirs. Zlegfeld. and
the play, Sir. Grossmlth and the audience
rcjolco In thnt monument of femininity,
Juliette Llppe.
As for tho music, Charles Cuvllller's sharo
Is ns musical and graceful ns much of
the score he wrote for the "Lilac Domino."
Tho ragtlmo Interpellations of Milton
Schwarzwald "get over" as ragtlmo is
bound to do.

JAP ALLIES DEFEAT
TEUTONS ON SCREW
Hayakawa at Stanley Has h
Best of Emmy Wehlen At
Arcadia
By tile Photoplay Editor
Possibly the International note-writing: ot '
yesterday did lb AnywAy, tha two tie
feature films displayed by downtown the
ters went In for foreign ktnni with
vengeance. Metro showed Emmy Wehlen,
one time of Vienna, Ih "The Pretenders,"
but the Stanley threw Its weight decisively
for the Allies "by presenting the newest
Lasky-Paramount film, "The Honorable
Friend," with a cast that was all-Jap ex
cept for a casual policeman and a certain
American actor, named Raymond Halton.
who did tho best piece of Japanese deviltry
lhee George ArltsVs Minister1 of War In
The Darling of the dods.V With the
restrained, yet varied and forceful playing
of the star, Sessuo Haynkawo, and the ex
cellent support of his wife, Tsurt Aokl, and
other Japanese, the acting honors of the
day went to the Allies.
Sir. Raymond Ifatton, who makes the
villain ready a thrilling bit of physiologi
cal ugliness, deserves two further words of
comment He Is only 29 years old. And he
got his first picture training In that Bio
graph Company, whose fame la now eternal.
"The rretendors," at the Arcadia, en
joys the distinguished authorship of Chan
nlng Pollock nnd Rennotd Wolf. "Whether
they supplied mbre than the story, whether
they wrote the "continuity" or action
sconnrto of the film as well, deponent satth
not. If they did the whole Job they must
bo credited with some neat work, Indeed.
If they supplied merely a synopsis, which
staff writers put In screen form, thon they
need only be thanked for putting In a good
twist to the bogus nobleman-nouveau rich
plot. .
Their moneyed upstarts nro tangled up
with a crook who pretends he Is an English
earl, nnd with the genuine earl who, not
knowing that he hns succeeded to the title,
Is palming himself off as an Italian count
to oblige the husband of the ex-farmeress
with social nmbltlon. With a couple of
extra crooks thrown In and a firm of solici
tors on the trail of the Incipient carl; the
denouement Is obvious. But It Is also
worth seeing thanks to tho "continuity
man."
'The Pretenders" displays a lot of ex
cellent acting. Paul Gordon, aa the young
carl. Is perhaps the most Ingratiating fig
ure. Emmy Wehlen Is attractive and ani
mated, but tho main Interest of the film
does not center about her part. She Is
Just a kind of "prop."
Tho Palace showed yesterday the ex
cellent Famous Players version of Clyd
Fitch's 'The Woman In tho Case," featur
ing Paulino Frederick.
The Victoria displayed that most effective
of war-spy melodramas, "Shell e3," with
II. B. Warner, a Triangle film, ns well ns
a new comedy. 'The Skirt," In which Fay
Tlnchor and Ed. DIUon did some very cheer
ful acting. It seemed a bit too long or a
bit too loose-knl't, however.
GARRICK OPENS SEASON
WITH HOWE'S TRAVEL VIEWS.
A Varied nnd Interesting Program
From All Over tho World
With what the movie managers would
call Idonl "movie weather," the Garrlck
opened Its 1916 season yesterday with the
forty-third semiannual "tour of Lyman H.
Itoye's Travel Festival The regular season
Is scheduled to open September 11 with
"Sport of Law," a ply by Stuart Fox.
It was Lyman Howe who first realized
tho value of presenting travel and educa
tional motion pictures In program form,
comprising n complete entertainment. The
clever bits of enrtooned wit and humor bur
lnsnuclng his pictures and the artistic de
signs used for llde and film titles were
other original Jdeaa of this pioneer. The
musical accompaniment of his first pictures
was simply a piano and the best "picture
player" obtainable. Thero has been no
change slnco then, and In Stephen C,
Healey, the present' musical assistant. Sir.
Howe has an artist whoso "overtures" em-
body playing upon the strings with a picker
and other accompusnments.
Tho variety of subjects comprising the
program was well selected with a view of
showing travel, educational and Industrial,
while the' comedy element was found In
the cartoons. Logging In the Italian Alps
and Wintry Days In Switzerland proved
the most thrilling, although the Torpedo
boat In a Rough Sea and the Ride in the
Aeroplane were quite sensational. How
Automobiles are Slade proved highly In
structive as well as clever advertising for
the company. The Island of Madeira, Hol
land, Over the Trails of Glacier National
Park and the Rivers of France supplied
the scenlcs The mammoth Firth of Forth
Bridge In Scotland showed a remarkablu
pleco of bridge building which required
seven years to construct by the labor of
over 5000 men. This series of pictures
should prove attractive to all lovers of th
unusual kind of motion photography.
