MARVIN, WHO MET DEATH WHILE WITH PEARY RIVER IMPROVEMENT MEETING THURSDAY LOVES IIER HUSBAND, BUT QUITS HIS HOME 60,000 CHILDREN Edith Ellis', called "Contrary Mary," which will be at Staub'a theater Wednesday matinee and night. In all the citiee it has been seen, it has been pronounced the most brilliant and the best acted offering of a generation. It is distinctly a play oftiiditk. Its scenes are laid in New York at the present time, and reflect in a glass of satire. certain phases of the life in that city's most exclusive social circles.

Thera are a surpriling number of brilliant lines in Contrary Mary." the dialogue fairly acientillating with wit and humor. Miss Thurston as a young society woman, has a role that calls lnte play all her comedy talents, a phase of her art -which is unrivaled. There is a mingling of pathos, too, in her characterization which thronghout is marked by exquisite subtlety and delicacy. Ample opportunities are afford ed the members of the supporting company, which by the harmony and the superiority of its performance, again proves its right to be called one of the best balarced and most accomplished dramatic organizations on our stage. "The Lion and the Mouse." That The Lion and the Mouse." by Charles Klein, author of "The Third Degree," at Staub's theater Thursday night, has the power to fascinate the same people again and again, is proof of the strength of this comedy drama of a we-mans fight against the power of money.

It is a matter of record that thousands of people have seen "The Lion and the Mouse" a dozen times or more, and yet every time find something new in its presentation to interest them. The play Is one of great modern ideas; in trend, construction and finish, although handling the world's old story of a womana love and talent when that love is jeopardized.

Besides what is offered by charity, Mrs. Turner declares she has only a two cent postage stamp between herself and gaunt starvation. She wants either $8.40 to buy a ticket to her parental home at Portsmouth, Ohio, or failing In that she wants a job that will enable her to earn an honest living. Saturday afternoon. this woman approsehed Patrolman Henry Sterchl and told her troubles to that officer.

He directed her to Lieutenant of Police W. L. Jack who took her to the Mission Home on Cumberland avenue. kept by Rev. and Mrs.

J. R. Lauritzen. The woman is there now, and may remain until some good Samaritan comes to het rescue either with the price of a ticket to her home and mother or with an honest sob. The story of Mrs.

Turners life reads Ike romance. Her professed love for A MHS, FLORA LIMNER. a husband makes it stand out like the one green spot in the arid desert of Phyrne's life, where all else wittlagch ed and hot. In Old Virginia. According to the story told by this woman at the Mission Home on Cumberland avenue to a reporter for The Sentinel.

her maiden name was Flora May Ferguson, and over In Lee county, in the historic state of Virginia, she went to school with Luther S. Turner and they were boy and girl lovers. Luther pulled Flora to school on his bled, he gave her the biggest red aPpies when the teacher was not looking, and at the apple butter boilings and valentine drawings in the neighborhood they were partners In the little childhood games. Later on Floras parents moved to Portsmouth. Ohio, where her father was and is yet a Baptist minister.

Luther, too. grew to manhood and came to Knoxville. He was still the hero of Flora. Nobody seemed to her to be aa big and brave ana strong as Luther and when he began to write to her in her seventeenth year and to tell the Old story, he seemedt her to be the personification of the heroes who lived at a time when knighthood was in dower. When finally he proposed marriage.

Flora was the happiest girl in the country. Both were poor in this world's goods but they were young and strong and healthy and the whole world was at, their feet. They married but they did not "live happy ever after," accord-log to her version. A rift came in the golden lute. Tbe strains of love's old sweet song did not ring out so clear and sweet as it did at first.

Subsequent ly Flora left her erstwhile lover and hero and took up her abode at the manse with her preacher father. Another Mart Made. A reconciliation came. It was a happy day, she declares, when she got 8 letter front her husband and saying in effect that the life he had led without her had been the bitterest of dead sea LUTHER TURNER, fruit. After he had written other letters in the same vein.

in effect she replied. although she did not put it exactly in these words but this is what she said he meant: "Oh. what was love made for, if it la not the Dame. Through joy and through torment. through glory and theme.

I know not. I care not what gulit'a in thy heart, I know that I love thee whatever thou Anyway. Flora and her husband, reunited. Luther Turner was a carpdnter and said he was making good money here in Knoxville and she left the manse in Portsmouth and came to him. That was five weeks ago.

He took her to live at the home of Mr. and Mrs. John Parsons near Fountain City. But she says the cloudless kles eitd not at long, and soon they became estranged. She says she bore this for several days, until on Saturday.

she turned out In the streets and went to the Southern, railway passenger depot. There She asked the pries of a ticket to Portsmouth and found it to be $8.40. She said that at the time all the wealth she had in the world was a two cent postage stamp and then, in desperation. she told her troubles to the pollee. The result is she is now at the Mission Home.
