"HUMAN HEARTS" AT
THE GRAND is THE
UNUSUAL PROBLEM PLAY

Whatever else may be said of them,
1t must be admitted that the offerings
of the Grand opera house are usually
strictly moral. But this week the man.
agement has forCotte- it's advertised
motto, "The Family Theater," and
presents a problem" play.
Can the woman who has lived the
other way tune her existence to the
quieter harmoIiies of married life? The
answer given in Human Hearts" is
NO" But we are not forced to accept
the opinion of the playwright-in this
case it is Hal Reid-and most of us
will be inclined to disagree with him.
This problem is not obtruded upon the
auditor Fortunately, the play is not
one of those in which the immoral
character of the action is driven home
with sledge. The blonde beauty of
the adventures, in the person of Miss
Gertrude Phelps, make it easy to for
get her Wrong-dOing in her sufferings
and repentance. In the last act the
wife-dying from the bullet of the man
for whom she forsook l2r home and
husbands forgiven and recOnciled to
the husband. whom in her inmOst heart
she has always loved. If only the rec
oncillation had come ten minutes
sooner
Unfortunately, there is a young wo-
man in the immediate background who
has always loved the hero and faithfully
visited him while the cold walls of JUS
tice held him as the convicted mur-
| derer of his father. one wonders
whether her unselfish devotion to the
deserted husband of another woman is
to be rewarded according to it's desires.
Verify the ramifications of these social
! problems are as Widespreading in the
| stage counterfeit as in the real life pro-
| totype.
The straying affections of Jeanette
! Logan, woman taken from a life of
excitement ard questionable gayety
and immured in country village as
the wife of an upright and honorable
but commonplace man, are the founda-
tton OF the plot, Her flight with her
former lover Frederick Armsdale. is
discovered by the husbands father.
Thinking him to be the husband, Arms
dale strikes the old man a blow which
proves fatal. The son is suspected of
the murder and sentenced to life i'm
! prisonment. -Four years later an aged
mothers entreaties secure his release.
The husband pursues the guilty pair
and scorning a reconciliation offered by
/ the wife would draw both to justice as
the murderers of his father. The wo-
man denounces the murderer, who, TO
escape arrest, kills her and himself.
Dying, she is reconciled to her husband.
Gertrude Phelps is the adventures,
Jeanette Logan, and with Lincoln j.
Plumer does most of the real acting in
the play Were 1t not for some hyper
poetic passages in Plumer's lines his
role would be well and consistently con-
ceiyed and acted. Miss Phelps pas
sages with her husband and Armsdale
are strong and well presented.

How many times have you been the
victim of bad cigars You didn't feel
like buying from that dealer again, did
you?
Now that is precisely where both you
and the dealer got the small end Of the
bargain.
You got it in bad cigar.
He got it in the loss Of your trade.
1t served you both right.
When you learn to demand and
get ''Triangle A" cigars, it will be
better for both you and the dealer
You'll get the acme of cigar quality in
the Triangle A" brands, and the dealer
who sells them will hold your trade
always.
There is one right way to buy cigars.
Look for the "A" Triangle Al on the cigar
box every time you buy.
There is no other way to get as good
value as you are entitled to.
This triangle A" merit mark Identifies the
product of the most modern improved methods
and scientific processes of cigar production, and
represents a standard of quality far superior to
those cigars not marked with "a" Trangle Az.

Gary. Ind, Dec. 2O.-(SpeciaI)-
About half of the residents of the
south side were members of a volun-
teer fire department last night in an
effort to save the grocery and saloon
owned by John Keelirtek and located
on Washington street between Thir-
teenth and Fourteenth avenues.
The fire started as a result of the
explosion of a lamp and spread rapidly.
There is no fire department here and
a bucket brigade was soon formed by
the neighbors who were attracted to
the scene, and water was carried from
the swamps to the burning building.
In spite of heat so great that tin was
melted from parts of the awning, the
workers persisted in their work and
soon had the fire under control.
The building had been gutted, how
ever. and the damage to the structure
and the stock it contained is approxi-
mated $1,000.
