The passionate warmth Of his APP
peal softened the cold stiffness of her
fingers. They seemed to him to be

rible effort into his plea, shaking
from head to foot with the strangest
passion mortal ever experienced. He
would win her back from death. He
would see her eyes unclose or he

The Indiana statute which pro-
hibits the use of cigarettes was will
fully and directly violated three
times last week, once in the comedy,
Checkers" which appeared here
Friday night, and again in both per-
formances of "The Maid and the
Mummy" on Saturday. While these
companies are touring Indiana they
seem to have no regard for the law
against the little coffin nails, which
they use with impunity on the stage.
In the audience on all three occas-
ions there were officers and others
authorized to make arrests, but no
notice was taken of this open law
violation. Prosecutor Jessup said
last night: Smoking cigarettes on
the stage is as much violation of
the law as smoking on the street, and
an arrest would have been made had
an affidavit been swork out against
the guilty persons" The police, when
questioned about the matter, state
that under the circumstances, the
smoking of cigarettes was necessary
to the play, which would have been
weakened had they not been used.
The principle of smoking on the stage
and that OF smoking on the street
are entirely different, and looked up
on in this light, there would have
police say.
