FRANKLIN AND

Anything illustrative of the life

ways more than welcome to the
American people

possessed strange sort of mind

lie sent his Kite up into tho clouds
TO test the question of the similar

he personally instituted an expert

was such thing as mother love"
Is such love fact? In other
words, Is there such thing as an
mate. indestructible instinct by
which the mother is able to tell her
own offspring and to recognize them
after considerable lapse of time?
Franklin, in common with great
many who had gone before him. had
often asked this question and one day
he determined to put the question
TO the test of experiment.
He had not seen his mother In
years. lie knew that she loved him,
About that matter there was no
room for an argument, but now that
she had not seen him for a long time
would she know him?
He went back to the old home and
without difficulty foud his mother to
whom OF course, he did not make
himself known.
The dear old lady was at the time
keeping sort of boarding house,
and in tho midst of terrible storm
Franklin applied for shelter,
He was received with anything but
the glad hand. His mother did not

MOTH AND FLAME
MOST EFFECTIVE
MAKES APPEAL, DESPITE ITS
EVIDENT TRICKS
Players Of the 5elasoo Deserve Great
Credit for Saving Some Scenes
From BanaI MeIo-
drama

The machinery by which "The Moth
and the Flame" is enabled to trife with
the emotions of its audience at the Be-
lasco theater is so much in evidence
| that it robs the illusion of it's savot.
Any one who is striving to be a dramat-
list can look in at that playhouse this
week and witness how the wheels are
tion Of Clyde Fitch.
AT the close of the first act the mem
bers of the jolly children's party come
singing and dancing unwittingly
around the two women who have just
learned that their father and husband
has killed himself. The most unso-
phsticated observer of the drama will
sit up after this scene and remark upon
the strength of the situation" BY
the time the wedding ceremony is
reached and the woman. like the man
with the pardon, comes upon the scene
in the nick of time and with uplifted
arm cries "Stop!" the observer begins
to pride himself upon his keen insight
into the great American playwright s
bundle of tricks.
Although such events might easily
transpire in real life, yet for the pur-
poses of artistic drama the plot and
the situations are artificial and exotic.
Clyde Fitch was looking for sensa tions
when he wrote "The Moth and the
Flame" and he went after them with
little conscience and some lack of
good taste. But this dramatist is so
clever in so many ways that an au-
dience responds to his appeal, although
they may recognize its falseness. In
addition the Belasco players are so
excellent in the Interpretation that the
crudeness of the play is greatly over
come and the drama made effective.
Actresses Save the Scene
1t is to the great credit of Miss
Eugene That's Lawton and Miss Mar
garet Langham that the church scene
is saved from being banal melodrama
and given the softness and tone that
makes it legitimate without taking
away the tenseness of the climax.
These two actresses are easily the
features of the play. Miss LawtOn dis
plays wonderful reserve power and an
artistic sense that is most satisfying.
Miss Langham presents further DEM
onstration of exceptional emotional
ability.
Miss Adele Harrington wins a high
place by her decided personality. Miss
Mary Graham distinguishes herself by
singing q speciality in the first act in
charming voice The men of the COM
pany have little occasion to act. Will
liam Bernard's conception of Fletcher
will appeal to many as overcheapened.
Robert Dempster deserves credit for a
very clever costume in the first act.
