Baraiy e, Bmiing Beantion n Hipp: Phot 5. Orpi : Vaud Strand: Photoplays. “A Little Girl in a Big City” at the Brande “A Little Girl in s Big City,” now being enacted at the Brandeis theater, tells the story of how a little girl from the country, wandered Into New York, searching for her mother. Of course, she fell into bad hands, but by good luck she escaped from the dangers that beset her, and after a number of strange adventures, she found her mother, and pennants and college colors were flying. | The menu and program rertected the col- lege spirit, being printed in the form and | wording of a legal brief and bill of par- tioulars. Each course on the menu was garnished with & quotation from some legal tome and each speaker's name was | adorned with a legend from legal lore. | | Bryan Jolns in Sons. Mr. Bryan joined in singing the college | parodies. He applauded the addresses of the six young orators who preceded | him, nodding his head vigorously and | whispering his appreciation to Dr. Allison and J. A. C. Kennedy, who sat near him. | He pald a glowing tribute to Count Crelghton and, finally, in the latter part of his specch he became a pedagogue and told the students the secrets of successful public speaking. Harry E. Gantz was tomstmaster and told some storles which Mr. Bryan con- | tessed were new even to him and which he would “add to his list For the first time at a Creighton good- tellowship banquet a woman was among the speakers. She was Miss Gladys Shamp, and her address on “Woman's Place in the Law'" was witty. The toastmaster declared that ‘“‘better than the biggest fees of the lawyer is the fee-male of our species,’ and Miss Shamp reparteed by declaring that she hoped to have more substantial fees than these. § Toasts of Evening. Bugene M. Clennon spoke on “The Law- yer as a Prosecutor;" Robert McGuiggan on “The Lawyer in Court;"” Preston T. McAvoy on “The Lawyer as a Legisla- tor,” and Morgan J. Doyle on ““The Law- yer in the Community.' Mr. Doyle's speech was more in the nature of a valedictory for the senior class, which, he loyally insisted, is not only the biggest, but by all odds the most capable that has ever graduated from Creighton College of Law. And so say- ing, Mr. Doyle looked fearlessly into the faces of dozens of alumn!, not one of all ends as it does In story books. The play is crudely put together, with many improbable situations, and lacks plausi- bility in every way. The company is in keeping. A small audience watched the opening performance last night. Promises of the Preas Agents. Roshanara, the mdyvtlc interpreter of the old Burmese and Indlan dances has only four more performances at the Orpheum, matinee and night today and again Saturday.

" Maine Republicans To Go Uninstructed PORTLAND, Me., March 24.—Maine re- publicans in state and district conventions today selected uninstracted delegates to the national convention. Presidential elector candidates were nominated and a platform for the state whom disputed him. Mr. Bryan expressed amazement that slx such good orators could be found in * he sald, “I was ¥ years old before I dared venture to tell a story in speech, for fear I would lose the thread He referred to his friendship with Count Creighton, “which dated back to twenty years ago, when I first began running for the presidency.” His Best Introduction. Speaking of introductions he said the test he had ever had was at a place called Buckhorn Schoolhouse, 1ll.,, when he was a young lawyer. An Irishman, named Flynn, was to introduce him ana, though Bryan had dictated an introduce tion which would advertise his law of- flce in the neighboring town, Flynn forgot f#t and ‘merely announced ‘‘Misther O'Bryan will now speas.’ The old story of his Lincoln introduc- tion he told again. “Y arrived in Lincoln i{n October, 1877, he sald. “There was no political cam- paign that year, so I had to get along as well as possible without making any speeches. But the next year I was at it before the frost was out of the ground. I made fifty speeches and in each one I told the. people why the republican can- didate should not be elected governor. I thought I made it so plain that they couldn’t go wrong, but they went ahead and elected him anyway by 28,000 majority. A short time afterward I was to speak at a meeting where he presided. I hoped there would be no embarrassment for, I reasoned, he must feel some resentment against a man who had spoken so pro- fusely against him. Just before my turn came he approached me on the platform and sald, ‘Mr. Bryan, do you speak or #ing? He hadn’'t even heard of me. In his remarks on public speaking, he declared clearness of statement, conden- sation, belief in your cause, apt {Hustra- tion, dramatic question and the character of the orator are six most important points. Thomas Jefferson's supposedly logical and concise Declaration of Independence isn’t flawless, for Mr. Brayn pointed out that “all truths are self-evident, not only ‘certain truths' as Jefferson said.”” “The co-operative function of govern- ment will increase by big strides from now on and the coercive will diminish,” he declared and he cited the great in- crease in municipal ownership and gov- ernment-owned institutions as indications of this. Nation's Opportunity. He referred in closing to the European war and said that this nation has the greatest opportunity ever possessed by a nation to do good “As the wise men of the east went to Bethlehem bearing precious gifts,” he said, “so the wise men of the west can now go to the warring nations and offer them a part of the money that they want us to spend on preparing new en- gines of destruction and use this money to promote peace, fellowship, friendship, lasting brotherhood.

THE BEE: ( The Strange Case of M By Frederick Lewis, Author of “What Happened to Coprright, 1915, by McClure Publications SYNOPSIS Mary Page, actress, 1s accused of tha murder of David Pollock and is duitnded by her lover, Phillp_Langdon. —Pollock was intoxicated. At Mary's trial she ad- mits she had the revolver. Her maid testifies that Mary threatened FPollock With it previously, and Mary's leading man implicates Lahgdon. How Mary dis- appeared from tho scene of the crime is & mystery. Brandon tells of a strange hand int he saw on Mary’s shoulder, Further evidence shows that horror of drink pro- duces temporary insanity in Mary. The defense is CTepressed paychosis Wit nesses described Mary's flight from her intoxicated father and her father's sul- cide. Nurse Walton describes the kidnap- ing of Mary by Pollock, and Amy Barton tells of Mary's struggles to become an of another occasion whon the smell of liquor drove Mary insane. There is evi- dence that Danfels, Mary's manager, threatened Pollock. Mary faints on the stand and again goes Insane when a CHAPTER X. (Continued From Yesterday.) “Well, 1—1 sent for Mr. Langdon," sald Daniels nervously, “‘and he came. In the meantime we had glven the regular | watchman knockout drops and left him in a corner of the balcony, and Shale took his place. When Mr. Langdon was leav- ing 1 called this supposed watchman and, acting on Dave's instructions, told him to show Mr. Langdon out Wy the stage door. But I tell you'—his voice rose sud- denly to a high, shrill note ot hysterical emphasis—"1 tell you I knew nothing of that open trap door in the stage. I thought he was going to take him right |out of the theater. And when I heard Mr. Langdon's cry—I—I was too horrified to move for a minute. Then I rushed down and turned on the stage lIght “Will you tell us what you saw? “I saw Mr. Langdon hanging to the | edge of an open trap that led down some - |thirty feet to the cement cellar below, land Shale standing to one side, with a blackjack in his hand. I thought he was |going to hit Langdon, and I snatched it away from him and dragged Langdon back upon the stage. The very firet words he sald made me realize he dldn't {know the real reason of that open trap, |so I hid the blackjack behind me and took Mr. Langdon to the door myself and |saw him safely away. “Did you see Mr. Pollock again that night?" “Yes. When I got back to the stage I found him there denouncing Shale for having failed to do his part, and when | asked him if he had meant murder, he said, ‘Yes! I meant to have him killed through an apparent accident. What ls more, 1 tell you here and now, that I'll kill Mary Page and I'll kill myself, be- fore Langdon shall win her!” That's what |Dave Pollock said, and that's what I thought he had done—that night. I swear I didn’t go iInto that room! But I heard them quarrel, and T heard the scream and the shot. And I thought he'd done it—and I ran away, in sheer horror— that's alll My God! You must belleve me. It's true that I quarreled with Dave Pollock, not once, but many times. It's true that he didn't play fair with me, but can't you see that I had everything to lose and nothing to gain by his death! It's meant ruin to me—and ruin to my wife and little girl.” His volce broke pitifully over the last words. Leaning forward, he buried his face in his shaking hands, waiting for the next question. But it didn't come. That tragle outburst had carried: con- viction, not merely to Langdon but to everyone in the room, and whatever shadows of suspicion had hung over Mr, Danfels faded before the pitiful but In- dubitable veracity of his story. The mystery, it mystery it was, of David Pollock’s death was still as impenetrable, and the cords of the law that for a time seemed to be loosening from about Mary Page, had tightened again. But to Mary and Langdon that testi- mony of the manager had brought some- thing that for the time at least seemed greater than the law—an understanding of Mary's heart, vision of what might yet be if freedom could be won for her. It was a strange moment for a great love to find expression, and a strange story which had wakened it; and, while Langdon felt deep in his\heart that no words were needed after that-glance of Mary’s he could not forbear following her to her cell when court had adjourned. She glanced up at him with sudden shy- ness when he came in, and her hands went out waveringly, but whether to hold him off or to cling she could not herself bave told. Langdon had no doubts, how- ever, and caught them close In his warm grasp and drew her to him in & sllence Eat It! Enjoy It!
