Around th scene the real action of “Wild | Sumac”, which closes two-day showing at Fox's theater tonight, centered. The thrilling rescue Sumac by her lover, Jacques Fontaine, | makes this scene one of the strongest incidents of a play surcharged with big vital issues. It is the picturesque, sometimes tragic life of the deep woods. It is a strong feature and | popular with local theater-goers, as evidenced by the reception accorded it yesterday.

She is as refresh- | ing in her torn burlap garments as | the mountain stream in which she waded. Throughout the play, but es- pecially in the scene where she is tried by the ordeal of fire, the little actress enlists the sympathy of everyone who watches th mighty moments from the life story of a mountain rose. Two other subjects of the program are worthy of big mention. First is the new Sunshine Comedy, which is undoutedly the funniest two-reeler that has been made in long time. Then there is the final chapter of The |, ¥atal Ring, which is a fitting wind-up to that great ial. Among the other excellent subjects are Mutt & Jelf, Pathe News nd a Geo. Ade Fable. Tomorrow's feature will be “Under Handicap,” an’ cight-reel thriller of the wild west, in which Harold Lock- | wood is starred.

For there was something in triend’s voice that awed us, gave me, at least, an impression of something big, altogether beyond us, the key to knowledge of which Lil- lian held. Iortunately Katherine and 1 generally know when to keep silent, and we closed our lips upon our as- tonishment, waiting until TLilllan should choose to explain her words. She sat down again in & low chair facing the fire after she had made her dramatic declaration, cupped her gl our which chin in her hands in the fashion so familiar to me, and stared at the fire. It was the attitude she always assumed when there was a problem to be solved. It w fully five minutes before she spoke again. When she did, her words came slowly, as if she were weighing ea one before she uttered it. “Girls,” she said, “there are some things I can tell you about this busi- ness and some things I cannot. I want you to trust me, and to feel that whatever evasions I make are not made because I don’t trust you fully, but because I am in honor bound not to disclose anything more than I tell vou. And I must ask vour promise not to reveal even the things I tell you which seem most trivial, and the prohibition includes your husband, Madge, and your fiance, Katherine. “I Am a Nurse. She smiled and I gave her a lov- ing smile in return. “You have my promise” I earnestly. sald But Katherine drew , herself proudly “I am a nurse,” she said, and it was as if she had said, “I am a clergy- " 1 knew the high pride in her profession that was hers. She evi- dently felt that she needed to give no further pledge of keeping invio- late a confidence. Lillian's rare tact saved a situation that threatened to become strained. “I need no other pledge, my dear,” up Katherina's face relaxed. “There have been secret forces at | work uinst our country for a long time,” Lillian said slowly, ‘“forces whose ramifications extend all over the !

I gasped, unable to comprehend how any American-born woman, unscrupulous though I knew Grace Draper to be, could possibly sink so low. “I mean just that,” retorted Lillian’ “Wh¥y mince words? But, of course, we'll have our work cut out for us to prove it. We don’t even know for cer- tain that she is in New York, although T'd be willing to wager evervthing I have or ever hope to possess that she is. And she is only a tiny part of an organization so vast that to pluck her out of it prematurely while not vital to that organization\might disturb im- portant plans of thé people who are doing their best to trace the filaments of this gigantic spider’s web. We shall have to proceed very carefully. I wouldn’t bother especlally with her, only I am afraid from these clippings, Madge, that she means harm to vour father, and means you to guess it. “To my father?” I repeated, my lips stiff with terror. “I may be mistaken,” Lillian re- turned quickly, with a glance at me. “We can tell better when the next clippings come, as they surely will It was a clever thought to have vour personal mall forwarded to Katherine. We shall be free of all spying eves at Marvin. And now, Mhdge, we must think up some excuse for ¥ here for the mext few davs. “Why?" T asked, bewildered. “For one reason. I don't feel it wise to have you out there at Marvin away from me with Grace Draper roaming the country,” returned Lillian affec- tionately. *“So think up vour excuse, and you and Katherine get ready to come with me this afternoon, If Grace Draper is in New York there is one place to which I am certaln she will £0 almost every day.

Is it snobbish to be pleased when people to whom you look up go out of their way to show attention to you? These arc th® questions at the ker- nel of a very interesting letter from a letter friend. This is the letter: The Superintendent Bowed To Her. “My room-mate is an English girl somewhat older than 1. This noon while we were at lunch, the Superin- tendent of our Public Schools came in and sat at a table near us, to- gether with a man with whom he was interestedly talking. However he saw me and we bowed to each other. After he had finished luncheon he came over and shook hands with me and asked me how I was. Now, when I was in High School, man was Principal but I only 1 occasion to meet him perhaps a dozen times in all. He has since heen made Superintendent of Schools. This man is a high type of Christlan character and has always commanded my deepest respect and admiration. I commented to my room-mate after- wards what a fine thing that was for him to do and how happy it had made me feel. And She immediately charged me with being undemocratic. Sho said if T were democratio I would think nothing of the incident as it was nothing more than he should have done. She saild that we who talk so much about democracy do not live up to it. We argued on the question for some time, both coming away with our own opinions, but it took all the happiness out of the day for me, Ts She a Snob? “Now have I the wrong idea of democracy is when I love the best that is in people and always try to look for it?
