oto o o EVENING PUBLIC LEDGER PHlUAlJnilipfei: A", TUESDAY, JULY 8, 1919 i h 11 I- IV f IV h fST GOSSP ABOtfT PEOPLE Nancy Wynne Takes a Peep at Cape May Over tlic Week End She Discusses Various Doings in the ' Realms of Society rpHEREJ certainly was a large and seething multltud or words to that effect down at Cape May over the week-end; In fact, ever since Thurs, day, for so many of the men had the double holiday. I looked in at the Bed Mill dance one night, nnd well, some of the people t saw there were the Rodman Pages, the Hutchle Scotts, Mr. and Mrs. Heck Wetherlll, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Mc Michael, who spent the holidays with flip Wetherlllsj Mr. and Mrs. John O. Groome, Jr!-, Mr. and Mrs. Jay Lipplncott, Bcttr and Walton Clark, Agnes and Jack Mason, (Agnes Brockle, you remember) t PanRjr Scott and Polly Pnncoastf BallocrTlllchards, LtlettyHrock, Charlotte Bain, Lisa Nor- rM,"Emley Cook, Hannah Wright, Marion Dougherty evidently she didn't go to the Jason Waters house party, after all, for she wos dancing merrily Susie Stewart, you know she has been visiting Emlcy Cook; Banning Grange, Sarah Hnrrison, Bryce Blynn, Billy Adamson, Larry Murdoch, Jack Whelan, Aplin Sparks, Eddy Cassard, Alfred Sergeant, Johnny Scott, Bert Bell, Norris Dnrrntt. Saunders Meade, Bill Hopkins, Yale Dolnn, Upton Sul livan and the Dorc-Newtons nnd "'a whole lot of others. It was some party! AND one morning, down on, the beach r , saw Mrs. Hutchinson Scott look ing very attractive in a blue nnd white ivoile dress made with a flowing panel and adorned with a black ribbon sash. With this she wore a large blue pine apple hat with a wreath of French field flowers, and the whole get-up was decidedly worth looking at. She Is so stunning anyhow, nnd she always wears becoming clothes, all of which is a great, gift. MBS. 'MITCHELL HASTINGS, who was also at Cape May, in fact they have opened their cottage 'down there for tTrVsummer, was wearing a lovely gown aSmnuve chiffon on Sntur ' day night at We dance. It had many loose foldsnnd a soft sash of satin to match the'ehiffon. She is a stunning: ' looking woman, usually wears such good looking earrings of a wonderful old fashioned design. ' Some women cannot wear drop earrings at all, but Mrs. Hastings certainly can and docs. MRS. NED CROZER has an or gandie frock this summer of a most exquisite shade of peach color. It's a very ruffly gown and each ruffle is edged with vnlciicicnness lace and she wears ' a sash of pnle blue soft ribbon which is'vcry becoming. The other day when I saw her she waR wearing a hat of the same shade of blue as the belt of his frock, and it vas trimmed with c many colored fruits. VERY strange things happen these days, do they uot? To think that ' Mrs. Alston, who was Ann Chew, and who camo over here from England with her hus'Snnd nbout' three weeks ago. sn6t having seen her family, for at lenst six years, should be hers when her brother Sam died. It's a sad consola tion, but it is one. It's so hard to be away from home when there comes a rift in' the fumily circle, that I was glad when I realized that Mrs. Alston was here. The Charles Custis Harrisons, you remember, were to have given a luncheon on Sunday at their home for Mr. and Mrs. Alston, nnd death in the two families changed the plans, for Mr. and Mrs. Harrison's daughter, Mrs. .Rowland, died on Friday and Mr. Samuel Chew's death occurred on Saturday. I HEAR that Taxton. Roberts reached home on Friday, after an overseas service of twenty-one months. He Is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank C. Rob erts, of Wynnewood, nnd is captain in the 121st Field Artillery. Captain Rob erts left on Sunday for Camp Meade. T WONDER if it's all on again. You ' -see before the war they were engaged and It was announced, and then the k first thing I heard It was off ; then I heard it was on again and,they were to be married before the man in the case left for France, when, bless your heart, the next thing gossip said it was all off again ; nnd then said gossip, not only all off, but entirely over. But, lo and bfliold ! the man In question is back on this side now, and the last thing I heard both he nnd she were at a house It. l fi" UJ vttv v. .., .uui.icu Dio pters. So what am I to think now? And with It all, there's never been an open statement that it was all off. It's all been rumor. Perhaps It's never been off at nil, and some cat lias just been yowling, you never can tell.

The special inter polated undersea scenes made by the Williamson process nrc good to look nt, but not particularly thrilling. It is rc grettnble thnt Tourncur should select and make n "spectacle" production of till kind for which he is really not equipped. Ills efforts should be on fined to the better things of the screen. Aside from .the pictorial beauty, the story loses Interest. There Is lack of suspense In its nctinn. A nobleman denies secret marriage with the dnugh ter of n fellow member of a stock cx chnnge. The fntlier of the fclrl seeks to have the marriage recognized by the man, but is ruined because of the suit which he brings to right the wrong. An effort is made to secure the log of n boat which has sunk, nnd it is here that the ifnder-wnter fight takes place. The record of the marringc is in the book. II. E.

The appeal of this picture imme diately wins spectntors, because it is not only timely, but is human nlso in its endeavor to portiny the life of a mnn who lost his portion in society because of drink. There is no prench meut, nor Is thcie propaganda, but just n straightforward tale of the recovery of self-respect through the aid of a club called "the City of Comrades," founded by three former down-nnd-outers. Basil King, the author, and now n member of the Bniiiient Authors' Films, hns provided a good scenario from his like-named novel. The director has done good work in having his action confined to the telling of the story, nnd the players have been selected with regard to ability to convey the purport of the story. Tom Moore is fine ns the lad who comes bni k. There ore touches of pathos at times in his showing of the drink-sodden boy. Seena Owen is the gill, nnd Otto Hoffman, Alec B.

There could hardl.v have" been a better choice of plots to suit the temperature thun the selection of this for hot weather, in which no one cares to use thinking powers unless absolutely necessarj . If three girls decide in the opening reel of the story thnt they will have nothing to do with men nnd then be fore the motivation has gone on mnn) feet a man suddenly appears upon the scene it is a foregone fact that he will niarrj one of the girls.

A country boy decides thnt h. can he best fitted for the work of the world U he mnsters one ining nt a time. Tiat is what he does, even so far ns trj ing to win the girl in the circus with whom he hns fallen in love. Hert I.ytcll is well cast as the boob country boynncl he is given cooocl Rtip port by the selected cast. Eileen Percy is the girl In the case and Jospnh Ki gour is the circus manager. Stanton Heck is the big, bully weight-lifter. Others are Jules Hanff and 'William Carroll, "True Heart Susie" Is nt the Strand and Locust Theatres. Lillian Gih and Itobeit narron are In the princlnal roles, and the plaj was' directed by D. W., Griffith. v,. "END OF THE ROAD" GARRICK'S NEW FILM 7 Social Evil Exposed in Story ' Form Through Medium of Movies Perhnps "The End of the Boad," which was rcvenlcd to the public yes terday at the Garrlck, might be likened unto the piny of which Hamlet speaks when he tells the first player: "For the piay, I remember, pleased not the million; 'twas caviare to the general." Thus, although this photo play undoubtedly has nn appeal to seekers after truth concerting the serl ojis plijsicnl consequences attendant on nn immoral life, the ensual seeker of cntertnlnment may find himself shocked nnd unnmused by the story unfolded on the screen nsd will have but him self to blame If unworthy curiosity Is not gratified by salacious diversion. The purpose of the picture was made v cry evident by the frank way In which it hns been heralded in advertising nnd publicity matter. The health authorities of the state have sanctioned this picture, though the censor board hns neither npproved nor disapproved the film. Prepared under government auspices for wartime use, it Is now being shown as a pri vate enterprise. The enreers of two' girls nre depleted in detail from childhood to woman hood; one informed by her mother of sex hjgionc, the other left to seek out her own information by a mother whose mercenary greed craves a weal thy man for her son-in-law. The clean-minded girl renders service to mankind ns n nurse, but the other girl is revealed ns of one who pays for the evanescent flowers thnt fade along the primrose path of pleasure. The cast of players has been selected with care. Richard Bennett, who played in Bricux'n stnge play of similar theme, has the role of n physician who has lit tle more to do than act as a human pointer, in show log the two girls the nfterhinth of nffllcted unfortunates. Jojce Tnir hns the part of the indis creet girl, which she ennets in a manner that gains sympathy. The other girl, whose life is mnde happy because of her understanding, is ably portrayed by CJnire Adams. This film has been made from the woman's side, no doubt influenced by Dr. Knthcrine B. Davis, who served In the War Department's commission on activities nt the camps nnd who wrote the scenario, which was directed by E. F. Griffith nt the Edison studio.
