One day am gonna make no difference, bein as you've been missin since this afternoon anyways. I got work to do, I tell ye." "But I assure you, Mr. I assure vou that you will be well paid for your time and your trouble. See, I will even give you my bracelet watch and rings for security." A Fruitless Bribe. She drew them off and held- them enticingly in the palm of her hand.

He regarded them through narrowed lids "That's good," he nodded, "but I'd kinda enjoy your company for a day or so. It's kinda lonesome up at my place. Nothing but greasers. I come from Vermont myself, and it's purty good to see some one from the East, perticularly a likely gal like you." Diana was silent, while the horse jogged along the sandy road and the wagon wheels continued their incessant and monotonous squeaking. She must get out of that wagon at all costs, she realized.

FORD Bull Dog Drummond. Herman Cyril McNeile, who, under the pseudonym of "Sapper," wrote "No Man's Land" and other graphic trench literature of the World War, is responsible for "Bull Dog Drummond" (now at this theatre en route for NewYork), a frank melodrama of a well-known pattern into which he has contrived to pack quite a few thrills of the Grand Guignol type. It tells of Captain Drummond. late of the British army, dubbed "Bull Dog" for his see-it-through qualities, chaffing at the monotony of post-war existence at his flat in Half Moon street how many heroes of the Oppenlieim school of fiction have dwelt in this picturesque lane a monotony that is quickly dispelled, however, when he advertises for thrills in the Agony Column of the London Times. What ensues is melodrama of the old school, interesting, often thrilling, and wholly entertaining, but serving as another illustration of the chasm that separates the melodrama of the Strand from the melodrama of Broadway.

Appeals for financial aid are being sent out today by the Home for Incurables, Twenty-first street and Guilford avenue. The home is a charitable institution, the State providing 2,500 of the $30,000 needed to run the home. The deficit generally is made up from voluntary contributions and proceeds from social affairs.

Founded more than 40 years ago, the capacity of the home is 50 patients. But the rooms are always filled, with a large waiting list, and funds are needed badly. The institution conducts a training school for attendants, said to be the only one in this part of the country, and it is meeting with much success.

The program will feature all American music and songs, including arias from Mr. Cadman's' Metropolitan Opera success of two seasons, "Shanewis," Princess Tsianina has been symphony orchestra soloist for the New York, Minneapolis and Russian Orchestras. "SCORES MODERNISM IN ART Royal Cortlssosst Xew York, Asserts Much Of It Is Ugly.

Modernism is all over the place, said Royal Cortissoz, New York art critic, lecturing last night at the Maryland Institute. Much of the work of the modernists is ugly, he said, and advised a study of the work of Ingres to offset the tendency toward modernism. Mr. Cortissoz remarked after the lecture that it is hoped an exhibition of the artists' work may eb brought to New York. Solmson Metzel.

Miss Paulina. L. Metzel, of the Marlborough Apartments, was married yesterday to Nathan. L. Solomon, also of this city.

Immediately following the ceremony Mr. and Mrs. Solmson left for a trip North and thence to Bermuda. Upon their return they will reside at 22-1G Eutaw Place. Mrs.

Frank Brown, Once Georgie Kelly, Says Balti more Audiences Appre ciate Clean Comedy. When guests at the Hotel Belvedere saw the names "Mr. and Mrs. Frank Brown, New York," on the register few knew that Mrs. Brown was the Georgie Kelly nvho frequently has sent them into peals of laughter at the theatre.

Mrs. Brown, who was one of the most beautiful commediennes on the stage, has frequently been described as the funniest woman behind the footlights. She talked of her stage experience yesterday. "Baltimore audiences were always kind to me," she said, "and I think I know the reason. I always refused to utter a smutty word or joke.

When I was supposed to do so I would make a gesture of meaning, permitting the audience to know that I gave them credit for intelligence. I got away with it bigger than if I had uttered jthe word. "When one hears actors and actresses talking art for art's sake put them down as members of the Ananias Club. They work for the pay envelope at the end of the oveek. Surely they all want to go higher, but as they do the envelope gets thicker.

"I had several offers to do movies and tried it one day. From early in the morning until late at night, with a mouthful of food in the studio under the name of dinner. One thing I found in the movies: It 3s not place for any actress who wants to be creative. There one is nothing but a stick, ordered about by a director." Mrs. Brown will remain in Baltimore with her husband, a turfman, for the races at Bowie.

At The Movies 'P'HERE are breathless moments when the Queen of Sheba and her rival, Vashti, go whirling around the course in their chariot race in "The Queen of Sheba," at the New Theatre. "The Queen of Sheba despite its voluminous subtitles and occasional crudities, is a spectacular par excellence, for beside the chariot race there are several minor events to thrill and most of. the scenes furnish a real feast for the eye. Fritz Lieber should be awarded a plum for "keepin' his mind on his act," as he plays effectively the role of King Solomon, for mere twentieth century man is likely to forget that the love story of Solomon and the Queen is (to quote William Fox, the producer) "the most beautiful" in history, and his mind may really wander off into speculations concerning Betty Blythe's beads, pearls and mosquito netting. Incidentally, the program says Miss Blythe appears in 26 different costumes really quite a hand-bagful.

"The Queen of Sheba" will give one much to talk about. One is likely to worry over Miss Blythe's exposure to the desert sun and gloat over the acting of George Siegmann, who plays the role of King Armud 'with abandon, and lots of other things. "The AVonderfnl Thing." Wonderful Thing," at the Rl-voli Theatre this week, is wonderful because it demonstrates that an unsuccessful stage play may be adapted to the screen with success and because it brings forth Norma Talmadge in a rather lightsome role, in marked contrast to the sort of heavy emotional type of impersonation in which she has been featured recently. Incidentally, Miss Talmadge succeeds in being just as fascinating as ever. Miss Talmadge does not attempt to be so "lightsome" that she soars into the realms of her sister, Constance.

Nor is she deprived of a chance to register emotion once or twice. But it naturally has to be a comedy when Jacqueline Laurentine Boggs is the daughter of an Iowa ranchman who has made millions raising hogs. Jacqueline is sent to Paris for her upbringing and education. She falls in love with a penniless young Englishman who, she hears, is in love with her but is too bashful to propose. So she does the proposing.

Then she learns that he has married her to secure money with which to pay a staggering debt contracted by his brother. But after another turn or two in the story everything ends beautifully. Harrison Ford plays the role of hero nicely. Mrs. Lydig Hoyt, the widely heralded "society beauty," makes a stab at screen acting.

In the business meeting preceding an address by Dr. Birckhead two new officers were elected Mrs. Matthew Gault. as secretary, and Miss Jean Gilmor, as treasurer. Poplin Entertain Parent.

Pupils of Public School No. 27, Fayette and Chester street, gave a Thanksgiving entertainment last night for the Parents andTeaehers Association. A business meeting of the association was held, at which Mrs. William Bauern- schmidt spoke. A Second Escape.

Diana and her strange companion rattled along in the rickety wagon behind a spotted pony with bony flanks. The moon had gone down and the east was lightening with the forerunner of the dawn. The chill had become more and more biting, and Diana shivered un controllably and drew the collar of her ulster higher about her throat. "It's plumb chilly tonight," remarked her companion. "You ain't got any too much clothes, have you?" he added with a sidelong glance.

"N-N-No," replied Diana, between chattering teeth, endeavoring to sink her chin deeper into her wrap. "Don't try to hide your face. It's too purty," said the man. "Oh! not another!" thought Diana. "Surely he's not going to be a second Dominguez Out of the corner of her eye, she glanced apprehensively at her companion, but he was staring straight ahead.

His lean jaws worked and she noted there was a wad of something in a corner of the cheek nearest In ppite of her predicament she could scarcely control a giggle. It seemed so ridiculous that such a man could make gallant speeches to her, Diana Langley Diana Leigh. For the second time that night, she had to correct herself, with a belated thought for Alex, still speeding westward, while one strange man after another "rescued" his wife. She recalled Madeline Davis' frequent remark "Always men, Di You shameless flirt!" Diana would have given a lot if there had been a few less men involved in. her adventures that particular day.

Her companion broke in on her rev erie. "Say, what's the matter with your hair? Had a fever or sumthin'? "It's bobbed," explained Diana, trying to control the chills that chased up and down her back. "Funny thing to do to your hair, I've heard tell of shavin' it. I shaved a dog once that had the mange." Diana smiled in spite of lips stiff from cold and tried to discourage personalities by saying: "Are we very far from the station?" "I thought I told you we were going' up to my place? I got work to do there this morning. If I get done in time, I'll take you to the station afore the limited goes through, but I got to go there tomorrow anyway, so you'll be right sure to get it then, sis." Diana uttered a cry of dismay.

but don't you understand? I must get the first train that comes through. My husband will be horribly frightened. He won't know what has become of me. Surely they must be looking for me, all up and down the line." "Now there, ain't no use to get excited. I tell you I can't go straight to Many Foreign Notables Will Be Luncheon Gu ests Of Women Voters' League Senor Don Federico Alfonso Pezet, the Ambassador from Peru, and Senora Pezet Senor Francisco Yanes, assistant director of the Pan-American Union, and Senbra Yanes; Senora Adolfo Bal-livian and Senora Yaime C.

RECK0RD MADE BRIGADIER Guardsman Appointed General Officer In Reserve Corps. Milton A.

There were 150 tables. LYCEUM The Bat. "The Bat." in addition to being a splendid entertainment is also by way of being something new under the sun in dramatic writing. Defying all edicts, playwrights Mary Roberts Rine-hart and Avery Hopwood have dared to fool the audience. To the ordinary sympathetic emotions on which drama plays like, dislike, revenge, etc.

the writers have added the simple element of curiosity. The trouble with most stage mystery plays is that they usually fall by their own weight; that is." the audience is bored by the adding of complication to complication, with no corresponding heightening of tension, so that not only does action drag, but the climax inevitably is flat compared to the complexities that lead up, to it. This play, however, in its dramatic ingredients is simple, hence absorbing. A million dollars has been stolen the whole question is the identity of the thief. Until the last line you are in doubt, and teetering in your chair to find out.

There is the fastest sort of murders, thunder, thumb prints, shooting. Yet it manages to stay above melodrama throughout. Possibly one reason for this is the successful sustaining of an atmosphere of the sinister. Much credit for this must go to Norma Phillips, as Dale Ogden, who makes improbable situations vital and hair-raising in most realistic fashion. The acting is quite fine.

Here it is not a question of distinguished impersonation, but of dispatching a perfect maze of the most difficult sort of "business" plausibly and smoothly. The piece, of course, is quite devoid of any spiritual content; but if you care for the novel for its own sake or exciting diversion, go to see it. It is good. ACADEMY Shubert Vaudeville. After a rather weak seart, this week's bill hits up a lively pace during the second half and closes strong.

It might be rated as about half way between the best and the worst programs the Shuberts have thus far sent this way. Several numbers come in about even in the race for first honors. Lord Ain, singer, made his appearance unheralded last niht, scoring well with his rendition of the different voices of the "Itigoletto" quartet. Bert Melrose, the perennial clown, makes the most of his funning leading up to his thrilling tumble from the top of three tables, one upon another. Taflan and Newell, as Chinese, introduce novelty, acrobatics with parellel bars; Clark and Verdi appear with their excellent Italian comedy chatter, tested out before, and the Rigoletto brothers, assisted by the Swanson sisters, a monkey and several other animals, present a medley entertainment that is a miniature vaudeville bill in itself.

Whipple and Huston have a revue concoction which is good in spots; "General" Lavine has some good juggling stunts, and Jack Strouse, with songs and monologue Horlick and the Sarampa sisters, in dances, and Dolly Connolly and Percy Wenrich, in a mutual admiration song number, provide "so-so" amusement. Garden Vaudeville, with an excellent bill headed by a miniature musical comedy, "The Romantic Teacher," and filled out with acts which all contribute their share. "The Romantic Teacher" is a story of a girls boarding school, and introduces eccentric dances and good songs. Berzac's Circus proves a winner and the X-L-0 Trio performs on xylophones. Ferro and Coulter, blackface comedians, tell stories, and the Lee Mason Company make a specialty of topical tunes.

"Bare Knuckles," with William Russell, is the film attraction. Hippodrome Vaudeville, with a pretentious musical offering, "Money Is Money," headlining. The story concerns the business of producing shows. With a cast of nine artists, each a specialist in some line, the effect of a vaudeville show within a vaudeville show is gained. Betty Stewart contributes some excellent toe dancing to the act.

Harry Gilbert, in a song repertoire, sings the "Miserere" as an Irish ditty. The Anselsmiths are seen in an acrobatic offering, and "Shame" is the film attraction. Gayety Burlesque called "Hits and Bits of 1921" offers a sprightly travesty on some theatrical "who's whos" or the season, a good deal of lively music and much humor. The costumes are fresh and colorful. The singing is syncopated and the exchange of wit, while typical, is amusing.

The show is presented by Tom Sullivan and his Monte Carlo Girls. ITEW REVUE ON CENTURY ROOF Frolics," With Six Featares, Presented. Ernie Young's "Midwinter Frolics." ed on the Century Roof last night. There are six big numbers in which a bevy of girls take part. Among the principals are Mr.

and Mrs. Billy Taylor, in ballroom dancing; Sybylilla Bowhan, who until recently was premier danger of the Century Theatre. New York; Lillian Wagner, until lately of Ed Wynn's Carnival Lillian Russelle, in a singing and dancing act, and Warner Gault, late of the Greenwich Follies, who has been retained. Tom Kernan. champion trick rider, and Chester Byers, champion rope thrower, will appear at 11 o'clock tonight.

TELLS OF CHINESE POLITICS Dr. John II. Latane Addresses Sclm-Iter Club At Luncheon. Speaking hefore the Scimiter Club at a weekly luncheon at the Hotel Emerson yesterday, Dr. John II.

Latane, Lead of the department of history, Johns Hopkins University, gave a general resume of the articles which have been appearing under his name in Tns Stjx concerning the Disarmament Conference. Professor Latane described the situation now existing ia China, telling of the various political groups and factions. The young men of China, students especially, are the dominating factor in political life, he said, and because of them and the many political bodies the delegates at the Washington Conference do not know where they stand. LYRIC Mecca. Mecca, that gorgeous spectacle of high and low life in Cairo.

Mecca and other points along the Nile Seaboard Air Line that has been astounding the Egyptians who built the Hudson river pyramids for a whole season, was seen in Baltimore last night for the first time. It astounded the local ancients as much as it had those in New York. Aside from its undeniable gorgeous-ness, Mecca is chiefly remarkable for its roaring and for its adherence to a farfetched theory that the undraped male form is a pretty thing. Until the Fokine ballet in the second act the audience was coming to the chilling conclusion that all the girls in the company of SOO were going to keep on trousers until the final curtain and all the men were going to leave them off. The ballet dissipated, this chill and warmed things up.

But the men went until the end like a Young Men's Christian Association gymnasium class on its way to the showers. The story is thrilling and saddening. It is all about Al Malik Al-Nasir and Prince Nur Al-Din and the beautiful Zumurrud and her immense father who can't seem to speak without gurgling and gargling and wanting to bite a chunk out of somebody and there are many Chinese and pilgrims and harem ladies and Senegambians mixed up in it. Nearly everybody seems to be named "AI." virtually everybody wears as little clothing as possible, everybody talks at the top of his lungs, uttering ancient Egyptian cries like, "Away, Away, Errand Al-Dishpan has cursed this spot or "Death is too small a price to pay for honor, Nabob Al-Cabhorse!" Of course the Lyric is a hard place to talk in. But it isn't likely that the ancient Egyptians constantly tried to make themselves' heard from one end of the great desert to the other.

Mecca's, incidental music is beautiful, and the costuming and lighting is everything everybody has said about it. AUDITORIUM-WatcJi. -In The Night Captain on a rocking bridge shouting orders to clear the decks. Booming and flashing of great guns. Half of bridge torn away by a screaming shell.

Flames bursting through the smoke. Boom! Bang Crash Then splash The fighting ship Alma goes down, with the small, undynamited portion of the crew singing the "Marseillaise." George Cohan would have finished the job with a fan-blown, tattered, "grand old flag" showing above the last gurgling wave. Robert Warwick, in "In the Night Watch," winds it up with a Warwickian gasp, than which there is nothing gaspier. Mr. Warwick utters "et cetera" melodramatically.

The very articles of his speech are tense, and his most casual conjunctions are pregnant with emotion. He never walks or falls: he stmts or staggers. He gets down the steps of his sinking ship just as he would make his descent of his library steps in some other melodramatic scene. Steps are steps, and Mr. Warwick is Mr.

Warwick. That second act is a fine scene, even if the smoke of the battle did choke the crowded house a little last night. The French cruiser Alma, with War wick captain, is in harbor when war is declared. Ihe captain's a role filled well by Olive Tell with other women guests are on board dancing. The wife stays, but in a lieutenant's cabin.

The ship starts out to sea. The battle is on. Of course, there's the lieutenant's faithful servant to rescue the wife as tie ship sinks, while' the lieutenant, with his last breath, gives the captain his life belt.

The principals are good and despite a poor chorus carry the show along at top speed. Eddie Shubert handles the comedy line with ability and is given capable support by Jack Callahan.

Sid Gold scores in songs and dances, while Ann Meyers and Julia Gifford also please with songs. Folly Burlesque entitled "Some Babies, (neither of which words should be em phasized unduly), and untrammeled by restrictions upon tried and true "gags," offers fair entertainment as burlesque goes. Eddie Welch and George Carroll are responsible for most of the laughs, and Mabel McCloud, Bessie Baker and Feme Wayne put the "babies" through their paces on the illuminated runways.

Annual baza, vestry room, Eutaw Place Temple, afternoon and nijht. The pallid light of dawn assured her that they were still on the straight road from the station, which she had traversed that afternoon mounted on Domin- sruez's horse. She resolved to ride as far along the road as possible, but r.t the first moment the stranger showed sjgns of turning off she would get out of the wagon. She realized the difficulties of her plan. If he chose to detain her by force, it.

was her strength asainst his and the outcome was all to certain. They rode along in silence for many minutes. He apparently believed he had overcome her objections and that she had acquiesced to his plan. To encourage him in this belief, Diana pretended to relax. She curled up in the folds of her bis coat and closed her eyes, allow ing her body to sway drowsily to the mo tion of the wagon.

But mentally she was keenly alert and when, from beneath her lowered lids, she saw the wagon turn sharply into a road jutting off from the left, she said as mat-ter-of-factly as she could "I'm going to trouble you to let me off here. I can walk the rest of the way quite easily and won't have -to impose further on your time and gener osity. Stop a moment, please 1 can get down without troubling you." "The hell you can muttered the man and brought his whip down across his pony's flank. The animal started up the road at a smart clip. Diana gave one sidelong look at the man's fact; it seemed very evil in the half light of morning.

Then she looked at the deep. sand of the roadbed, breathed a prayer that it would be soft, closed her eyes, and jumped. Copyright, 1921, by the BeU Syndicate. Inc. Anotlwr Installment of This Story Tomorrow.

Through With Films, Says Robert Warwick, Star Of The Stage Robert Warwick is done with the movies, he said last night at the Auditorium Theatre, where he is starring. "I am tired of that hero-worship rot," he said. "After a bit of screen work I have decided that I would rather be a minor actor in a legitimate drama than a star in a movie. And the stars! No matter who it is, if that one has a good looking face, eve nthough it covers a vacuum for a brain, that one immediately is starred." Mr. Warwick severely condemned the managers for many of the plays they are putting forth this season.

"Instead of saving their reputations and leaving their New York houses dark, they think all their theatres must be running and have opened them with some very poor shows." LADIES' DRESS. The waist is made with a vest and long bell sleeves and is joined to a gath ered skirt at the long waistline. A Tuxedo collar and a narrow leather belt lend a smart finishing touch.

New York city. land by Maugham's "Our Betters" and "The Circle," we are poor runners-up in drama of the third class, as repre sented, in America by "Seven Keys To Baldpate," and of the fourth class, as represented here by "The Thirteenth Chair," we hopelessly outclass our British rivals.

"Bull Dog Drummond." which is typical of its class in London, lacks the resourcefulness and the ingenuity of the American school. Mr. Dillingham has produced the play exceedingly well. A. E.

Matthews, in the title role played now in London by Gerald Da Maurier proves a likable hero; Dorothy Tetley is appealing as the maiden in distress, and the numerous villains are wholly villainous. An entertaining, but conventional, melodrama that will neither tax nor insult your mentality. 1 MARYLAND Keith Va ude villc. Perhaps the best and doubtless the liveliest as well as longest bill of the season at the Keith house. Excellent entertainment, abounding in dancing, singing and comedy, is provided in all the numbers.

The first half of the bill is as strong as the last half, for even the act known as the "deuce spot" a dance tdrn by two nimble men, Harry and Denis Du Foregoes over with a rush and ever afterward it is nip and tuck for honors. Robert Emmet Keane and Claire Whitney, movie actress, give an ad mirable presentation of a one-act comedy satire, really the best playlet seen here in a long time. Victor Moore and Emma Littlefield have resurrected their bur lesque on a stage rehearsal, which still is highly amusing Ruby Norton gives a spirited rendition of popular songs. Harry Delf returns with his line of mimicry Luise De Lerma and company have an unusually artistic series of Spanish dances; Karyl Norman, female impersonator, returns with new gowns and songs, and even the minor acts Dallas Walker, dancer and lariat thrower; Burt and Rosedale, with a burlesque musical, and Polly and Oz, singers, receive a generous amount of applause.
