Hattie GriswoId's beautiful poem
Under the Daisies" has been admira-
bly, done by the Vitagraph Company in
their two-Part photo drama of the same
name to be released today.
Robert Burton's first play is rather
severely criticised by John Mears, Of
the Evening Mail, who is regarded as
the chief mogul of dramatic ccriticism.
A few mornings after Mears receives a
note from his lawyer. telling him that
he has been left legacy Of $1,000 by
his uncle. Mears finds that he can only
get his legacy by signing a pledge that
he will not marry before he is thirty
FIVE. His feIIow-repOrters tease him
about il, but he tells them that he will
not marry until he has passed that age.
He gets vacation of a month and
goes up into the mountains TO spend it,
1t is spring and the fields are filled with
daisies. One day the horse he is riding
stops by a field Of daisies in which
Viola Martin is standing. Under the
guise OF having lost his way he gets
into conversation with her. After that
they meet quite frequently and when
the summer is over Mears begs her to
come back with him and marry him
She, Innocent OF his intentions. comes
Mears then tells her that because of
the legacy marriage is absolutely i'm
possible at that time and postpones IL
for little. These pOstponements last
for FIVE years. but Viola still trusts
Mears. The climax comes on the eve
ming Of the fifth anniversary Of his
promise. He tells Viola that he no
longer loves her and she broken hearted
leaves him and goes back to her father
Again Mears has decreed that Bur
tons latest play should he a failure and
Burton still undiscouraged has gone of
to Wesleydale to write a play which
would bring the world to his feet.
Viola reaches the home of her father
but in a very exhausted condition. and
while passing through one OF the fields
which are now once more clothed in
daisies she falls down upon the ground
unable to drag herself any further.
While in this condition she writes her
last letter TO Mears. writing il into the
verses Of very beautiful poem. The
strong wind which Is blowing carries
part OF it into a neighboring field where
a kite is being flown. The boys need
longer tail for the kite and finding the
sheets Of paper adapt them for their
needs
The string OF the kite breaks and it
falls at the feet OF Burton who is out
in the garden. He is curious to find out
who has written the verses for they
have strangely affected him. He comes
upon the cold body OF Viola and the
rest of the verses beside her.
The poem has given Burton the in
spiration for which he has been so
anXiously waiting. He uses the story
told in the poem for the plot of his
play. The play is snatChed up by the
managers who are only too glad TO
get il.
The Evening Mail again sends Mears
to criticise Burton's play. Mears is
taken Off his feet by what he sees and
soon is nearly craZed when he sees so
clearly the portrayal of his own mis-
deeds. Conscious stricken he puts an
end to his miserable life,

Some Fan Fabrics.

What will you have. madam? Brocade
Of a royal richness? Behold. it is spread
before you-a riot of color and fanciful
designs. But the stiff brocade praised
Of old by our ancestresses is not in evi-
dence. "A brocade stiff with silver and
Eold''-how romantic it sounds, But
could anything be more impractical for
this season of draperies and soft cling
ing folds? So our kind manufacturers
unwilling to deny us the richness Of
brOcade, earnestly set to work and en-
deavored to introduce the desired ele-
ment of softness into the rich fabric. The
result is a triumph indeed in the art of
weaving, for under the deft fingers of
the weaver even the metal threads have
become Pliable with a softness that falls
and drapes into clinging folds at the
mOdiste's will. No more beautiful pat-
tern has come from the loom than a
claret-and-gold brocade displayed at
recent opening. The background was
woven of gold and cldret, the warp being
OF one and the woOf of the other. Over
the background was brocaded a design
in plain claret The complete effect was
an impression of veiled light. 4 pattern
similar to that was suggestive of a silver
lined cloud. being woven in silver and
gray.
