Mend & 'Ce.) nnd seems te find that hard work Is the only pnnacca for the many Ills which ex cessive artistic egotism seems te be heir te. Terqull, as Miss Hlne pictures him, is a young writer with nn abiding faith that his flair for literature ta nothing less than genius. He is willing te sac rifice anything, even himself, en the nltar of success. A loveless marriage with n woman of soelnl position nnd wealth falls te bring about the desired result, and It Is only after strong buf feting of his personal nnd literary pride that he finally finds- himself, artisti cally speaking. The book ends with the author, shorn of his temporary splen dor and much chastened itvsplrit by the desertion of his wife, back in his gar ret about te de something worth while with his gifts. The chnrnctcr of Terqull Is along the bread lines used frequently in hold ing forth the eccentricities of se-called genius, but there are few redeeming traits shown InMhc eung writer. He seems te be a cad, wholeheartedly and iinrcdccmliigly. But although the paint is laid en with a bitter brush, Miss Hlne serves up nn illuminating picture of social foibles and Intrigues. It Is a story well told, that at time has much of marked strength te commend It.

Nevel of Power and Celer Te held up the nodal structure .of nny nation te the mirror of scorn Is rertnln te bring rcwilti of some sort. Hut when the picture In one of sordid misery, of moral tlcgrndntien sponsored nnd furthered by efficlnt greed nnd in competence and when the domestic structure of a nntlnn Is pilloried un mercifully ns Jehn Paris castigates that of Japan in "Kimene" (Ilenl & Live-, right), maybe even Teklo will step, leek and listen. Possibly net since "The Heuie of Bendage" startled Americans with Its sordid picture of the half-world 1ms the social evil been eutsprend In such drnb rut unmlstakable colors as Mr. Paris uses In his story of Japan and Eng land. Starting out with a story of the dangers of interracial mnrriagci, Mr. Paris found himself overwhelmed bv the Iniquities ,of the yeshlwara system of Japan. Then without preaching overly much he drew n picture of the Japanese treatment of the social evil. Of course, he Bees with the eyes of a Cnucailnn, but in this day of Japanese clamor for racial equality even Nippon must take heed, it would teem. Mr. Paris' hcte, an Englishman of the usual stolid, unimaginative type, falls in love with nnd marries a Jap anese girl, who, however, has never lived In her home land. She Is wealthy. He Is net. Their honeymoon takes them finally te Japan. Here Sir. Paris give" n number of clear, clever pictures of that island kingdom until he llnnlly reaches the yeshlwara of Teklo. that noterioun compound of the tlemimon tlemimen dnincn. The picture of these peer slave in their lren-bnrrcd cages with the curious thousands passing Idly by of their life with Its horrors is sketched In unforgettable truthfulness. Cemes the revelation that his wife's fortune comes from this same yoshl yeshl wara that her family is really the "vice trust" of Japan. The English man already is under the spell of the East and nearly fulls before the lure of a pretty Eurasian. Enough for n Jap anese divorce. He gees te the war and Ills wife lapses into the tnngles of Jap anese family life. The denouement in a happy ending is really the weak point of the book. After preaching against the evils of the entwining of the rnces, Mr. Paris found himself tee weak te carry out his thesis te its logical conclusion nnd bows su pinely te the "happy ending," emitting even the gesture of nn apologetic bow. Hut all that gees before is strong enough meat te overbalance this literary mush and milk. JULIA MARLOWE IS APPEALING PORTIA She and E. H. Sothern Revive "Merchant of Venice" at.

The render's mental i Lyric Fer the opening offering of their Shnkespcarean fortnight. E. II. Sothern and Julia Marlowe revived "The Merchant of Venice," thus giving nn nspect of novelty te the Inaugural of their season, since this comedy has been out of their repertory for several years. Shakespeare's tale of Shylock's woes and Portia's craft Is one of the most finished presentations in the Sothern Marlowe list, and last night's perform ance had all the fidelity te detail and legitlmntc respect for the traditions, us well ns general harmony, thnt hnve In the pnst characterized tlc co-stars productions. The role of the resourceful Portia, surely n prototype of the "advanced" woman clamoring for ndmlsslen te the bar nnd emulous of mixing in affairs, Is better suited te Miss Marlowe's matured art than the Juliet, which she used te act with such rich youthful passion, or even thn Ophelia, which she still voices se richly In the lines. Her Portia Is sophisticated, yet none the less of charm. She read the fine speeches, par ticularly "the quality of mercy." with exquisite Intonation nnd expressive feeling. These speeches arc much like the favorite arias of the opera waited for expectantly nnd rapturously re ceived. Mr. Sothern's Shleck Is n significant and believable figure In Its denetement of longing for vengeance en the slan derer of himself nnd, mere deeply Ijing, of his race; it has malevolence, u touch of usurious greed, but that riot tee much emphasized, for it is net the primary motif; and an abandon of frus trated purposes and profound wee; It i touched with realism, but never loses the mood et romance which was Shake speare's, He rend his lines as can few actors en the contemporary stage in the field of blank verse. Outstanding in the very excellent support were the gallantly romantic Uussanie of the admirable Frederick Lewis and the opulently funny nnd globular Lancelet Gobbe of thnt sterling veteran, Itewland Huckstenc. In rcstnging "The Merchant" for the llit time since their retirement in 1013, !'. lelnt actor-tnaniisers nbandencu heavy-set and quasi-realistic scenery and plajcd in sets which were sugges tive of. rather than pictorial of the locales.

MAE MURRAY SEEN IN HER BEST FILM 'Fascination at Stanley, Shows Big Advance 'Where Is My Wandering Bey?' at Stanten Stanley "Fascination" brings Mae Murray closer te serious consideration as a real actress than any picture she hns done in n long time. As ii usuni with her films, new produced under her own managimcnt, her dlrccter-huband. I!bcrt Leenard, has furnished the best of photography, lighting, sels, location and direction. In nil of these points this effort is excellent. The Merv Itself, concerning the ro mantic and highly impulsive daughter of n Spanish family, filled with all U"' "pep" of an American upbringing, gives her mere opportunity te fill n be lltvablv human role. Naturally, the scenarist, worked in several dancing scenes, in ene of which the shapely Mae Is given n clinnce te prove again that she is shapely and does It with perfect candor but there is throughout less of the pirouetting und puckering nnd mere sincerity tlmn she hns been evidencing of late. , , "Fascination" can be ranked os a geed film tven for these who hnve net previously liked the star, and almost a superlative ene for these whose adula tion she has already wen. The Spanish scenes taken in Cuba and the bull ring episodes are pirtictllnrly well done, nnd Miss Murray emerges giving the conviction thnt she is a cleverer come dienne than has been mispectcd. She gives some genuine comedy touches everv hern nnd there in this photoplay. Miss Muiray is supported by a cast of the flr.st rank, containing Crelghten Hale. Charles Lnne. Vincent ( elcmnn.
