This picture adapted by June Mathis and Albert Capellani, from the play of Jane Cown and Jane Murfin, is a play the Unique management recommends to all picture goers.

It is the best production Miss Stevens has appeared in during her career as a screen star. will supply all lovers of the problem variety of stories with an entertainment of real value, and the sets are elaborate and consistent with the general appeal of the play. Miss Stevens believes that a woman of society such as she portrays in should wear gowns that are conventional either in outline or color, but not in both. The gowns were designed in accordance with her own ideas and are sure to be of particular interest to the women. The shows start at 10:45, 12, 1:15, 2:30, 3:45, 5, 6:15, 7:30, 8:45, 10 p.

It contains everything that makes for genuine entertainment, from a smile to a hearty laugh, and from mystery to real thrills. Also it has just enough pathos to bring a tiny lump to the throat and raise one's ieelings to a high pitch.

The production as a tv hole is as near perfect as can be made. The sets are gorgeous and there are many of them. The clothes are beautiful, and there is a plentiful display of them. As to Mabel Normand, jt might be well to say that those who think they know Mabel Normand will be surprised when they see her in her newest play. She has developed in every sense of the word.

Clara Kimball Young scored another hit yesterday at the Alhambra in her latest Select picture, She has been seen here a great many times but nevef to such advantage as in this picture where she creates a role different from any she has been accustomed to playing. The story is a tense one of American life, relieved by several high class comedy scenes and threaded by a genuine love interest that appeals to all.

I studied painting when if vouth, but unfortunately was I have been a man with little leisure. Jefferson, for instance, whose paintings gained him wide fame, played only a limited season and he was a rich man.

So he had the leisure to devote to his work, which has never been my portion. My seasons are long and when they are done it is time to begin the study of the character for the next tour. There Are No Young: Juliets. had many' a hard knock before I gained a footing in the profession. Everybody goes through that.

I suppose it is good for us. You cannot depict suffering unless you have suffered. No matter what anyone may say, you cannot depict an emotion of any sort unless you have experienced it. That is why there are no young Juliets. account of the probation of hardships, I know to be in store for I WAS not with the intention or the desire to deceive him that I had refrained from telling my husband of my engagement to meet Harry Lester down town.

But the results were quite as unfortunate as if my silence had been deliberate and the result of conceit. When I reached my apartment that afternoon after luncheon I found a day letter from my mother awaiting me. She and my father had been spending their summer at Stojckbridge, as was their habit. This was my first summer in town. Jack had taken his vacation at the time of our marriage, and I had not been willing to leave him alone during the heated season.

So it was now late in August, and 1 was still well and comfortable. But when my parents town in June I had promised to pay them a little visit before their return to New York. The day letter telegraphed by my mother now informed me that, as my father was called away on a matter of business, she would like me to come up to Stockbridge at once and spend the next ten days with her, occupying my large and airy room. Until I received this message I had not realized that I had missed the country air this year, but as I read, I had a swift mental picture of the beautiful hotel in the Berkshires, and I almost felt the fragrant breezes that sweep through its vast halls. This vision was, however, followed immed- iatelv bv a reluctance to leave Jack here alone.

Since he could not go, why should This was the argument I used to him when he came home from the office late that afternoon, but he laughed away my scruples. He was accustomed to spending the summer in town he reminded me, whereas 1 was not. While he would miss me, it be only for a short time that 1 would absent. He could spend his evenings with his mother and could bring her around here occasionally to dine with him. Strange to say, this thought did not give me a pang of jealousy.

On the contrary, I remembered with a sense of comfort that if Mrs. Hampton was near her son he would fare well. A Set of Furs, wishes you could come up to Stockbridge for my last Sunday I informed Jack, glancing again at the lengthy communication I had received. tryr to do Jack promised. At that moment, Jennie appeared in the door bearing a box from a fashionable down town shop.

Opening it, I found a set of white summer furs, such as I had often expressed a desire for. My mother had told me some weeks ago that she was going to please herself by making me a present of such a set, but I had supposed that she had forgotten it. they I exclaimed rapturously'. evident that when mother decided to have me come up to Stockbridge this week, she her promise about these, and ordered them at once, either by special delivery or by telegram. you liKe them.

he assented, I think thev are very pretty, even if they do look awfully hot at this season. the other day mother and I were wondering why women wear furs summer. I happened to think of that just now." these are summer furs dear, i explained, they are not heavy like winter furs. They are very swell, and, by the way, very expen- S1 do not doubt he acquiesced, they are pretty, if unnecessary. By the way, be sure to tell mother they were a present of your mother she will think it extravagant ol vou or of me to buy them.

I said slowly and gently, so that he might not fancy I was vexed, that is a matter that requires no I mean how we spend our course, of lie agreed awkwardly. you see, I have always talked freely to mother about financial matters, and she knows that I could not afford such a purchase as that, just let her think I bought the I interrupted. knows I have a small income of my own. You need not take the blame of the extravagance nor of the folly of buying furs in Argument.

He smiled, but constrainedly. that matter, I want mother to think you would spend money on such a fanciful luxury as that, he objected. would give her a false impression of the furs are mine, Jack, I reminded him, am quite willing to take the responsibility of their purchase. Of course, if your mother asks me where they came from, I will ten her. If not, please sav nothing to her about how I happen to have will not Jack affirmed confidently.

I was not so sure of that, but I did not say so. The little altercation had destroyed the harmony I wished to preserve on this last evening before I went away on a visit. But for my' longing to keep things smooth tonight, and but for the little dispute about the furs, I might have told Jack of my downtown luncheon today'. But I decided that he w'as not in the mood to hear about it, and that I preferred to wait and see if his mother was as discreet as he would have me believe. If she were to tell him now of my meeting Harry Lester, it would be easy for me to convince him that I was right in my assumption that she did not always mind her own affairs, and those only.

Should I tell him now? I started to speak, then checked myself. The time for explanation did not seem to be now'. I would await further events. To Me Continued. interpertation of the leading; part.

And like the road of the sippi, more beautiful than the fiords of Norway. It resembles a chapter from Arabian Nights rather than a government reclamation project. The land is gray and dry and rocky, inhabitated only by a few prairie dogs and an occasional herd of lean wild range cattle. The sparse grass is brow'n and bunchy, the well known buffalo grass of the dry lands. The sky overhead is cloudless blue; obviously it has not rained for a long time, and doesn't intend to.

Looking for a monster lake in this region is rather like searching for a dry spot in the Pacific ocean. Then, quite suddenly, the lake is at your feet. A thin line of palest gray, barely distinguishable against the gray of the terrain, cuts one rim of the green water like the edge of a knife. That is the concrete dam, most of it invisible under w'ater, reaching dowrn through the drowned sands to bedrock, shaped like a gigantic wedge, with broad passage room for two motors on the sharp, upper edge of the wedge. Above the dam, the waters stretch in placid green sheets, winding in and out among the blue lava hills.

The rocky hill tops float on the emerald mirror like things enchanted. A white cloud in the blue sky is reflected line for line and shade for shade. The air is clear as if there were no air. The silence is so perfect that the flop of a little fish can be heard for a hundred yards. Only the throb of a tiny pumping engine saves the whole scene from the quality of an absolute mirage.

Twenty eight years ago today the magnates of the National league held a special meeting in New York to consider wrays and means to foil the plans of the league, which had just been organized and which was threatening to destroy a pastime, and, incidentally, to reduce the dividends of the National league stockholders. The magnates decided to bring suit to restrain their vassals from playing elsewhere than on National league diamonds, but the legal proceedings give organized baseball much nourishment.

The bitter and cruel war was fought to a finish, but the fans were disgusted with the W'hole proceedings, and as a result the game suffered severely, while numerous minor leagues went on the rocks. The brotherhood had the backing of several capitalists in the league scheme, but they lost so much money the first season that they refused to go on with the experiment. The differences between the players and the magnates were patched up and peace reigned in the baseball world until Ban Johnson started another war. MARTIN CAXOLE WAS ONE OF CLEVEREST OF LIGHTWEIGHTS Martin Canole, who made his debut on January 30, 1901, just IV years ago tonight, was one of the cleverest lightweights the ring has known. Martin was born in County Clare, but came to America at an early age and settled in Massachusetts.

On that night 17 years ago he met and defeated Tommy Boyle in six rounds at Fall River. That city, as well as Providence and Boston, witnessed all of bouts in 1901 and 1902, and he was victorius in all except a draw with Honey Mellody. In 1903 the little Irishman put it over a number of good men, including Marty McCue. By the end of that year Martin was considered good enough to contest Jimmy claim to the lightwreight championship. The Californian was then the white lightweight champion of the w'orld, and most authorities regard him as the holder of the title regardless of color, as for several years Joe Gans refused to make the weight to defend the honors he had won from Erne.

The Britt-Canole bout w'as staged in San Francisco and went the full 25 rounds. Jimmy was given the decision in the end, but it was a close shave, and many fans thought Martin was entitled to a draw. Canole went back to New England and fought several bouts in New Bedford, but early in 1904 he received an offer to return to the Pacific coast and fight Battling Nelson, who was then rapidly coming to the front. It was some rookus w'hen the Irishman w'ent after the durable Dane. For 16 rounds he had Nelson completely at his mercy, and used the Dane as a chopping block.

The Battler absorbed all the punishment Canole could hand out, and then, in the 18th round, tore loose and gave Martin a punch that put him down for the count. Canole was never a title contender after that. He took part in several other bouts, but was often defeated, and in 1908 retired from the ring. TODAY IX PUGILISTIC ANNALS.
