LILLIAN's FAMOUS SPEECH.


Joseph Brooks has obtained for LII
liam Russell in the Charlotte Thomp-
son play, TN Search Of a Sinner" a
vehicle in which Miss RusselIs acting
attracts more attention than her famed
beauty. Her associates have been pre-
dieting this happy situation ever since
she forsook musical comedies for COM
edy. The play is an unusual one In
many respects. Speaking Of the mon
otony of her married life, the charac-
ter so appealingly portrayed by Miss
Russell says: What satisfaction can
a true feminine find in the deep devo-
ton of a man that no other woman can
even rouse? What gloat is there in
holding a man who couldn't love if he
tried? Don't talk to me Of your placid
streams and placid slippers by the
hearth. They're for old age. not for
youth-and the man who gives you a
peace like that has only that to give.
Saints are all right in Heaven, with
a harp and a hymn and a halo, but

man is a sinner. l want man, soul
and body, spirit and flesh; temper to
calm, passion to curb and I to please
