Some plvsrtins Incidents 81 the Great
Church Controversy.
"The festival OF Easter is 10 be cele-
brated on the Sunday following the
first full moon after the beginning OF
spring.
Therefore il the moon becomes full
upon the day on which spring begins
the Sunday after the next full moon Is
OF course indicated by the directions
OF the council as Easter day. And II
the moon becomes full on a Sunday
the next Sunday similarly must be
Easter day.
The history OF this controversy re-
specting the date OF Easter. which the
Nicaean council happily settled. In
cludes a number of diyertlng anec-
dotes based upon the Discrimination of
different people TO accept even the
councils rulings.
A story is told Of a European OF
prominence who celebrated Easter ev
cry year on the very same day or
which his wife celebrated Palm Sun
day. Another story Is told OF d devout
old couple in Germany who refused to
abide by q new church decree relative
10 Easter. The decree altered the date,
and on the day on which they had al
ways attended the Easter services the
old people walked from their home to
the church. They found the church
closed and no Easter service in prog
ress. The old gentleman beat upon
the door with his stout stick and de
manded admittance, and when there
was no response from the uninhabited
church the old people retraced their
steps to celebrate Easter at home.

be glad to cooperate and thought 1t

certainty that the encampment will
come here.
The matter will be placed in the
hands of the Convention league to-
morrow and it will get in touch with

Immediately. This will give plenty OF
time to have qkatives of Los

DURANT WANTS SECOND
DIVORCE CASE HEARING
Son of Auto Manufacturer Will
Try to Disprove Former
Wife's Charges

When wedding bells rang in Los An
geles last September for D. G. Durant,
son of millionaire automobile manu-
facturer, and Miss Pearl Mcfarland,
daughter of o. c. MacFarland, an au-
tomobile dealer, society people pre-
dicted happy union and now do not
understand the bitter contest that Is
being waged between the couple.
Durant is in San Francisco and his
attorneys are endeavoring to obtain
a rehearing in the proceedings brought
against him by his wife, which cul-
minated in an interlocutory decree or
divorce being granted her recently,
Durant claiming that the decree was
secured through misrepresentation.
Following their marriage in this city
last September Mr.. and Mrs. Durant
went to San Francisco, where the hus-
band secured an agency. Shortly
afterward he gave up this place and
went east to see his father who is
president of the Buick Auto company.
On his arrival at the old home he tele-
graphed for his wife. She refused to
leave San Francisco and she imme-
diately filed divorce proceedings, al
leging cruelty and intemperance. Du-
rant is 20 years of age, and expects
to clear himself, of his wife's charges
by rehearing.

PLAY DRAMA Of SOUTH
At GRAND OPERA HOUSE
''Wife for Wife" Is Given Produc-
ton by the Girton Stock
Company

The only new opening in Los An
geles theatricals yesterday was the
Girton stock company in a good scenic
production of John A. Stevens melo-
drama, "Wife for Wife," at the Grand
opera house. This play tells story
of the south during the days of slav-
cry in which husband, Edward Wal
ton, his wife and his supposedly best
friend, Richard Singleton, are the prin-
cipal characters. The revenge of a
mulatto servant whose wife had been
sold by Walton some years before also
enters as an important part of the
plot.
The play is not quite as sensational
as those that have been holding forth
at the Grand, but as a play it is much
better than the others. 1t allows op-
portunity for finer acting than any
piece which the Girton company has
offered during its season. 1t is cleV-
erly constructed and the story devel-
ops in way that keeps the audience
sufficiently interested until the last
curtain. There are good dramatic sit
uations in "Wife for Wife" some of
them even intense, while the climax of
each act is strong and we'll drawn.
Considerable comedy is furnished
throughout the play by several eccen-
lIlC IdIdClCIS.
Summing up the work of the COM
pany, they showed yesterday the best
acting and gave the smoothest first
production that has been seen at the
Grand in some time. Particularly
commendable was the work of George
Webb as Richard Walton Iva Shepard
as Mrs. Walton, Chester Stevens as
Richard Singleton and Joseph De
Grasse as the mulatto servant, George.
Miss Shepard rose to every opportunity
for emotional work, while Mr.. De
Grasse did the best acting in the play
Scenically the production was all
that could be asked and if the recep-
tion given it by yesterdays big audi
ence can be taken as any criterion 1t
should have an excellent week at the
Grand from the box office point of
view.
