I right to tell it. “I thought Madge had guessed it yesterday when she found a letter in my handwriting and that of Miss Fairfax. But she chose to consider it an ordinary love letter, and high- handedly demanded an wexplanation— which she didn't get.” He ended his sentence with a sort of a snap, which | told me as I lay supposedly sleeping in the next room that Dicky was still held by the angry and obstinate mood which had possessed him in the morning. “But she'll get it before another hour, or my name isn’t Lillian Under- wood,” Lillian said calmly. “You anointed young idiot, da you suppose I'm going to let you wreck your hap- piness and Madge's for the sake of keeping a secret for some half-baked girl? 'It's an easily guessed secret at that, If Madge hadn’t been blinded by being in love with you, she would | have seen it, too.” | She paused, and I lay breathlessly { wondering what was the work in | Which Dicky was helping Miss Fair- fax, and of which Lillian appeared to have confident knowledge. “What More Natural?” ! I didn’t bave long to wait. Lillian | evidently had paused only to make | her next words more effective. “Of course, you two heaven-born geniuses are collaborating on a play,” | she said. I heard an angry, surprised ex- clamation from Dicky, then the sound of a chair being pushed back. “There!” Lillian’s voice was mock- ing. “Now you've properly reg- listered astonishment and rage. You'd make a lovely film favorite, Dicky- bird. Suppose you sit down calmly now, and come to. I want to see this tangle with Madge straightened out, and I don’t want to take all night to do it either.” “I don’t think Madge is worrying | herself much about me,” Dicky re-} Joined sulkily. *“Her performance this afternoon shows that.” My heart leaped at the hurt note which betrayed itself in his voloce. It was another assurance that he still cared for me. “Sometimes, Dicky, I have hard work to keep from shaking vou!" Lillian retorted. “By vour own ad-| mission Madge found a supposed love letter of yours to Miss Fairfax, and you refused her an explanation | of it. Now pausing to consider just what kind of a row you would have raised if you found such a lotter to Madge. I'll wager you left home in some Kind of temper fit this morning. “You say Dr. Pettit is going to the same city in South America where Madge’s father is? What more natural that he should call her up, ask her to lunch with him, and give him any messages she wished de- livered to her father. In the state of mind in which you probably left her, you ought to be thankful she didn’t go clear to South America with him, instead of only to luncheon.” “I, know,” Dicky admitted, with one of the quick transitions from ob- stinacy to penitence which are so characteristic of him. *“I was three or four kinds of a beast, but one think I can’t understand in Madge, and that’s that she should dine with a man of whose friendship with her I've given her cause to know I dis- approve. “You can’t get it through your head even vet that what's sauce for the gander—'" Lillian began, but I could stand it no langer. I slipped out of bed, gathered Lillian’s warm negligee closer around me, and fairly ran into the room to Dicky's side. To Snatch at Happiness. “Dicky,” I half sobbed, “I can’t,let ; you think I would have gone if you | hadn’t treated my demand for an explanation about that letter so— so—"" . | The sound of a softly closing door | interrupted my sentence. Lilllan had { slipped out leaving us along together. { Dicky, with a little exclamation at! : once flerce and loving, gathered me into his arms and there, against his| heart; I sobbed out the story of my | { luncheon. z No, not quite all. I didn’t tell him | of Dr. Pettit'’s Impassioned declara- ! tion tq me nor of his accusatipns| { against Dicky. I knew that the young physician was hardly responsible for his utterances when he made them, and I felt that I couldn’t spoil these moments of reconciliation with a recital which would be sure to inflame my husband’s anger anew. I realized also that this reconcilia- ¢ tion would be only one of many if: Dicky and I jogged on down our. martial highway. The time had pas- | sed when I had hoped for more stability in my husband. I had| learned to snatch at happlness as ' it passed me, without questioning too | closely into the duration of its stay. And vet my heart leaped high at the love in Dicky's eyes, and I felt again he is the only man in all the world for me.

Especially when there is a competitor to be put out of the running and a father to be con- vinced. Such are conditions that greet Taylor Holmes, Broadway's favorite comedian, in his portrayal of the role of Edgar Bumpas in “Effi- clency Edgar's Courtship,” which comes to the Lyceum theater today for three days’ engagement, and how Taylor, or rather, Edgar, surmounts all the difficulties and wins the girl of his heart is interestingly told. Of Holmes himself, all one has to do is look in “Who's Who in Stage- dom,” and he will be found at the top of the list. In “His Majesty Bunker Bean,” Holmes set Broadway roaring, and before many weeks had the town at his feet. Holmes is without a doubt one of the most natural actors now in the business. In “Bunker Bean” he set a standard for stage act- ing and now before the camera, the world proclaims him master. Excru. clatingly funny scenes when the amoroug young man serenades his Jove with the assistance of a loud- toned saxophone while his prospec- tive father-in-law groans in a sleep- less bed are put over with such effect that one goes back automatically to the time when that fellow next door, (you remember him) thought he could play a cornet. Dorothy Dalton, the girl who has made the role of a vampire some- thing of an art, will appear on the same program for three days in the leading role in “The Ten of Dia- monds.” This picture is a feature and not a serial, as the impression prevailed in some quarters. It is a strong story. When a girl takes a fatdl step in the wrong direction and then tries to reform, while the man of her heart cannot forget hig first impressions of her, it takes a struggle before she wins his love. Miss Dal- playing the part of a basement cabaret singer goes through some ex- citing and highly dramatic scenes be- fore her love is recognized and she is united with the man of her choice. The climax i{s one that will be re- membered by everyone who sees it. There will be other pictures on the program these three days. THE BAR SINISTER AT FOX'S THEATER A big. gripping, dramatic whirl- wind—*"The Bar Sinister,"” which opened last night for a three day run at Fox's theater. Built along highly origina] lines, with a powerful, heart- appealing plot, it is one of those pic- tures that thrills and entertains, and at the same time leaves a deep moral impression on the beholder. It has to do with the color question, and the long-standing, deeply-rooted preju- dice against the black man that still exists in country, partic ern states which ranged themselves against the Union back in the early sixties. The story concerns a white girl, the daughter of a wealthy plan- tation owner who hates the negroes worse than poison. She is kidnapped in infancy and found by a negro fam- ily, who adopt her and bring her up in the belief that she is colored.

Caldwell, 486 Washington St., Monticello, Illinois. voung attorney arrives in the com- munity and falls in love with the girl, but, discovering that, as is supposed, she is a negress, he insults her. Later, after a pitched battle with a mob of blacks, he takes refuge in her hut, and there are made certain revela- tions that completely change the as- pect of circumstances. It is impos- sible in a bare outline of the plot to | convey any adequate idea of the force- fulness and immensity of the produc- tion, but suffice it to say that it is one of the most strikingly original | and daring productions that have been | conceived in a long time. Great credit | is due to Edgar Lewlis, the director. He has not neglected dramatic values or scenic possibilities in order to push | forward the star. In fact there Is,' no particular star to the story. It is; played by an aggregation of types, ' and each of them is selected with a | caution and foresight that is remark- | able. “The Bar Sinister” will be seen again today and tomorrow, along with other superior shorter subjects, in- cluding a Drew comedy, and a new ! chapter of that exciting serial, “The Fighting Trail.” GEORGE M. COHAN AT THE LYCEUM When George M. Cohan, America's pride, “The Yankee Doodle Boy,” an- nounced his decision to enter the movies several months ago the the- atrical world gasped. Such audacity! Are the movies to take the best we have, the choicest flower of our gar- den of stars? Such was the query. Hard to digest, probably, but George took the big step, and what is more, George made good. Exhibit No. 1, “Broadway Jones.” Exhibit No. 2, “The Seven Keys to Baldpate.” Both are children of Mr. Cohan's brain when he flourished as a playwright, and both scored instantaneous and lasting success before the footlights. As played by Cohan in the movies they are brought to an even higher state of perfection. Coming Thursday, Friday and Sat- urday, Cohan will appear at the Ly- ceum theater in “The Seven Keys to { Baldpate.” This is said to be an even greater success than ‘“‘Broadway Jones.” Many scenes that were nat- urally conservatively presented on the stage have been worked up before the camera, and Cohan gets everything possible out 8f the many chances pre- sented. The story has a mystery that is of the sort that makes an audience SIDE BY RUTH CAMERON Positiveness An d Ignorance There is no quality that more fre- quently goes hand in hand with igno- rance than the habit of indiscriminate positiveness. The less people know things they are sure of. Think it over. Aren’t those people among your acquaintances who go about making positive statements in regard to every- thing, usually the people whose edu- cation has been limited. Of course I do not mean that a deficlency in early education always makes a man positive. There are some people who can rise above such a limitation and make up In the school of life the terms they missed in the school of books. Likewise there are people who can never be educated out of a natural tendency to know more about everything than anyonp else. Dom’t LIt Pceople Think This of You. But take it by and large, when you hear a man making positive state- ments about & variety of subjects you can be pretty sure that he is as ig- norant as he is positive. This is the sort of person I mean. The talk runs on boats. A man who tells of a boat he heard of which made a remarkable record. The posi- tive man spcaks up and says with finality ‘“There ain’t (he always says “ain’t”) a boat made can go that fast.” Not That He Knows Anything About That Machine. The talk moves to .machinery. Someone tells of a wonderful ma- chine which cost many thousands of dollars. Flatly the positive man an- the more TALKS nounces “You mean fthe patent cost that. You could buy the machine for ten dollars.”” Not that he knows any- thing about this particular machine. That is what gives the positive man his vast scope. He doesn’t have to know. And he doesn’t. ' The positive man is not only posi- tive about things which are matters of tact. He is equally dogmatic about things which are matters of tastc or opinion. For instance you are talking about different kinds of flour. Someone expresses a preference for dark flour. “Dark flour is miserable tasting stuff,”” he says. *“White flour | is the only kind that's fit to eat.” And No One Belicves Himh When He | Really Knows. | The worst of the positive man's ! positiveness is that it takes away all authority from the things he does know about. Quite frequently such a man really knows about some sub- Jects. But who is going to belleve him when he has so often rendered himself ridiculous by making asser- tions about things of which he knows and about which his audience knows he knows nothing? Take the man who Is well educated enough to know how much he doesn't know and who therefore goes light- ly on such subjects and expresses any opinion ‘with an “I think” before it. ‘When he speaks up and makes an outright statement with quiet author- ity, ft carries weight. People listen to him with respect. And surely that is a reward worth curbing the tendency to positiveness for. You Win!
