HUSBAND COMES TO
AID OF WIFE WHO
SHOT HIS AFFINITY
Paris Boulevardiers Praise
CASTOR Bloch for His
Attitude.

PARIS, Aug. 3-In coming to the
assistance of his wife who killed Mrs.
James Bridgman, as the only means OF
ending his infatuation for the latter,
the consensus Of French opinion today
Is that CASTOR Bloch has done an ex-
tremely handsome thing. The Gallo
point of view toward such matters
could not be better illustrated than by
boulevard comment on the statement is
sued by Bloch, following his return to
Paris last night from Aix-la-Chapelle
and his interview with his wife at the
central police station.
"All my sympathies are with my
wife," he said. 'She is model spouse.
an irreproachable mother, and a drama
tic author Of great talent. She Is also
younger than my friend. Mrs. Bridge
man, and not less handsome"
The French idea is that this ought to
satisfy any wife, and the sentimental
Boulevardiers are rejoicing at the ncws
that the Blochs are completely recon-
ciled. 1t Is not to be wondered at, how
ever, everybody is saying.
A wife such as Bloch describes must
naturally be the sort of woman to hold
her husbands affection, especially after
such a display of spirit as Mrs. Bloch
showed in eliminating Mrs. Bridgman.
And as for Bloch, a mar, who can ex-
press himself so gracefully in what must
really be q trying situation for him, GER
tainly is q husband to be proud of, they
say.
Mrs. Blochs trial will be hastened as
much as possible. and small doubt Is
expressed of her acquittal. -. o..

obtain the wage concessions which they
demand, they declared today that a

MOVING PICTURES. ,
In PUBLIC PARKS
Educational Photographs For Peo.
pie Are Latest Sug-
gestion.

."Photoplay" performances in the pub
lie parks have been proposed for WASH
ington. In an educational and informa-
tive way. they have been introduced in
New York and other cities, and have
gained large popularity. There Is small
likelihood of the moving pictures being
tried in this city while the present reign
of rigid economy continues on Capitol
Hill.
1t is said that motion picture shows of
an excellent type could be held in, the
parks at a maximum cost of SO a per-
formance. The plan Is indorsed by
Superintendent of Schools Davidson and
others. and would doubtless be tried
here in the summer months could the
consent and cooperation of Congress be
obtained.
1t has been proposed in some quarters
to start a motion picture fund among
citizens, pending a definite appropria-
ton for the project by Congress.
