while on duty began to labor under
the impression that the sergeant was
neglecting his desk in order to give
attention to outside happenings.
Three days in succession Brit had
been placed under arrest by the ser
geant, and at an hour when the desk
man was known to have been in the
office "How did it happen?" they
asked one another; but no one could
solve the problem, and Sergeant
Rocker himself relieved all curiosity.
'"Smple as anything" said he
'Birt would get a stew on and then
head straight for headquarters in
search of bed and board. He always
found me on duty, and I could do
nothing other than place him under
arrest and get him out Of sight The
first time he appeared here l thought
little of it, but after releasing him the
second time, I informed him IL he
ever came back, 1 would steer him
against a rock pile He left, and
promised to nevermore let me see his
face.
Next day, however, he staggered
into the office, his steps uncertain, his
carriage unsteady, tongue thick and
eyes bloodshot; proving that another
stew had been INDUCED in. We'll, SER
geant, (hic) I'm back agin; show
me (dhic) your oil (hic) roclx-pile, (hic)

in the fact that every man and wom-
an should beware of that first step
that leadeth to destruction. So long
as Olga Hoffman, the bankers wife,
and Karl Mailer, the lover of her
girlhood, obeyed the dictates of pru-
dence and remained apart, all was
we'll; but tne moment she stepped into
his studio for the purpose of having
her portrait painted, the end was in
sight. The devil, in other words,
their own evil desires; led them with
swift strides on the downward path
can only be re-climbed by thorny
paths and with blood-stained feet.
AS has already been said in these
columns, Ramsey Wallace gives a
mastery performance of the name
part. BY his fantastic manner he al
most suggests something unearthly;
he surrounds himself with an at
mosphere of mysticism which is al
most uncanny. True, every now and
then he makes his devil a whimsical
chap, but, as if remembering himself,
he pulls himself together and is
quickly again the sardonic tempter
playing with Il couple of pawns on
life's chess board. His little side plays
such as the uplifting of an eyebrow,
the f-suppressed smile lurking in
the corner of his mouth. the eloquent
play Of his finger tips-all are in the
highest art.
The production viii be the same in
every respect as that now being given

York, Philadelphia, Boston and Chi

ty, has given her no role that so ad-
mirably suits her qualifications as
that of Joan" in Mr. Obermer'S play.
The part is that of the wife of an
intellectual brute, whose love is killed
by the poison of rhetoric and the
knife Of double entendre. Turning
from this husband, who is, among
othe.. things, unfaithful, Joan" falls
in love with a great surgeon, whom
she, in a philanthropic spirit solely
has assisted in raising money for the
erection of a sanatorium. This sur
geon is prominent among specialists
in brain diseases, and when ''Joan's'
husband develops a chronic ailment
of that sort, is called on to perform
upon him an operation of a vital ma
ture. Fortunately the operation is
successful, and through cleverly un-
rayelled series of complications,
"Joan's" difficulties are properly and
logically solved.

"Why Girls Leave Home"

Manager j. B. Catron will offer
December 4. at the Keylor Grand
why Girls Leave Home" which was
one of the pronounced successes OF
last season. The play is one that goes
with a ring and a swing that makes
the auditorium resound with laughter
and applause, yet at times it causes
a nerve racking. The story. one OF
fraility of the weaker sex and a mans
rerfidy, is told according to the adage
that truth is stranger than fiction
The. author has drawn from the facts
of one of the most sensational TRACE
dies in recent years, In which a
brother was accused Of killing his Sis
ter because Of her Wilfulness. 1t is
told with remarkable fidelity to de-
tails and incidents, in plain, every
day manner, devoid of claptrap, maw-
kish sentiment, or sensationalism.
