Vaughn Moody's play until he slsned

American. English and Australian
rights to it. was born in the Canadian
House of Parliament twenty-five years
ago. That her birthplace was un-
usual. resulted from the fact that her
father. Timothy Anglin, was Speaker
or the Canadian House and her mother
was there during session.
Miss Anglin has been on the stage
ten years. her first important engage
ment being with James O'Neill, with
whom she played Mercedes in Monte

two of the finest sights in creation
They ought always to he together.
There was something in his tone tha

with him, she took the first opportunit,

things that set me thinking The
first was that the old man was making
himself uncommonly attentive to Miss

was thinking good deal of her too.
Fol- my part, thought the girl fancied
Hay rather than Hoskins: and though
she couldn't avoid the "old man." and
could not help listening to his sea
yarns, | could see her eyes turning
| forwards towards the waist where
Hay was putting in his time looking
at the lion.
one afternoon the skipper was sit
ting beside Miss Sandford on the poop
deck, when Hay came up the COM
panion and made his way towards
them.
There's something l want to tell
you, Captain" he said. ITS getting
on my mind and making me quite I'M
comfortable. That man whose bust
ness it is to look after the lion isn't
doing his work properly. The animal
isn't getting enough food. 1t Is de-
velOping Il savage nature. And yeSter-
day, when I went to see the man about
it, I found that he was intoxicated.
l really think you should interfere"
OF course. the "old man should
have interfered. But he didn't like
being told his duty by the little Pro-
fessor, especially when the girl was
about, so he just sneered.
II s., pose you're afraid of the beast
escaping?" he said.
II should certainly regard it as un-
fortunate" the little man replied.
You see. a drunken man might be
about the fastenings. I must
really insist upon your speaking to
him."

Hoskins. 81 have enough to do to

with his spare time. II you're SO
darned frightened about the beast,
you'd better look to the fastenings
yourself"
Excuse me-" said the Professor
stiflly, "that is not my business. The
animal does not belong to me. l have
done what believe to be my duty and
can say no more"
He turned away without even a
glance at the girl.

after him, sis frightened Of his ewn

To Reneat "Giocondan

D'Annunzio's "Gioconda" will be
played again this afternoon at the sec
ond of the Belasco theaters literary
matinees. Miss Constance Crawley
and Harry Mestayer made a profound
impression Tuesday in roles that are
the test of genius, and the production
was an artistic success. "Gioconda,"
which contains many charming scenes,
makes the broadcast possible appeal and
should draw another large audience.
1t is handsomely staged and it contains
dramatic climaxes of tremendous
power This masterpiece of the famous
Italian dramatist is seldom acted.
This is, therefore, an unusual opportu-
nifty to see the play in which Duse, for
whom it was written, made one of her
greatest triumphs.

pany of Ohio who appeared before the
Wisconsin legislative insurance inves-

correspondence of a sensational charac-

the rebate could be given and still come

Mr.. Albright said if even supreme
court judges were willing to offer sub

obtain them. The name of the Judge
