proved that the strength OF it's theme is
urdiminished by the changes made and, Il
anything. added to by their clever han

in fake" employment agency conduct
ed by the same woman and politician who
figured in the original version. With the
exception Of new characters, introduced
In a fashion that strengthens the atmos-
phere OF the new scene. the incidents
of the plot follow one another In the
original straightforward and gripping
manner. The change not only discloses
what is generally held By vice investiga-
tors to be as active an enemy 10 their

Of dialogue and incident has resulted In
intensifying the interest In the develop

Great credit is due the cast for Their
CAPABLE handling of the new lines, which
were so often closely linked with the DID,

BRITAIN LIKELY TO QUIT
AFTER BERLIN OLYMPIC
Opinion That the Games Are
Becoming Semi Professional
Contests Swans Majority.

London. Sept 20.-lf the wishes Of a ma
Jorty OF British sportsmen are followed.
Great Britain's last appearance In the
Olympic games will be at Berlin In 1916.
This sentiment IN steadily growing and
public opinion would favor Withdrawing
from the Olympic organization imme-
diately except for two reasons: First. the
Germans might construe the Withdrawal
as due 10 anti-German prejudices. and,
second other nations might think that
after the poor showing the team made at
Stockholm Great Britain was unable to
hold it's own against the teams OF other
counties.
The policy advocated by the most inhu-
ertial men in the English world OF sport
is 10 send a representative. well trained
delegation 10 Berlin. and then withdraw
gracefully. The reasons behind this pol
icy lie I'm the belief that the Olympic
games are becoming semi-professional
contests. and that. instead OF fulfilling the
purpose Of their founders which was 10
create international friendships, they have
had the opposite effect.
Theodore Cook who is the most infu-
entail member OF the British olympic
council. in discussing tho matter. said to-
day: Personally | am of the opinion
that as soon as We have decided that a
team can be sent 10 Berlin We should
also decide TO withdraw from the games
In the future. at a date previous 10 the
choice of the city at which the games will
be held I'm 1870 ! say this In spite OF my
belief that preparations for the Olympic
games and competition in them are Of the
greatest benefit TO all forms of sport In
this country, because we seem too much
inclined 10 take things easy. 10 avoid all
trouble and to play our games among our
selves. whether other people play them
or not"
The response TO the appeal for 10000 as
an Olympic fund for the British athletes
continues apathetic. Less than $4,000 has
been subscribed. The discussion over the
appeal has brought forth more express
sions OF opinion against the Oiympics
than favorable TO tfem, most OF the oppo-
sitlon coming from old university men.

THE ESCAPE"
Paul Armstrong; New Play at
the Lyric Theatre.
MARRIAGE AND THE SLUM
Treatment of Problem Not Pro-
found-Some Melodrama
and a Happy Ending.

Paul Armstrong; new four-act play
THE Escape" which opened in this city
last night at the Lyric, has a problem to
discuss, but. of course. does not solve II
except in the individual instance OF It's
heroine. and in her case in the usual ex-
ceptional manner. The problem Mr.. Arm
strong places before us is that OF the pow
erty, misery. EQUALIZATION and degenera-
ton OF the children born OF improvdent
marriages among the poor in our Sums.
He advocates more stringent marriage
hws-we are to reform everything by law
nowadays. That reform OF the Stun IL
self would be far more effective as be-
ginning does not seem to have occurred
to him: in fact, one concludes that he ac-
cepts II as an Established feature OF the
life of our great cities, within which no
reform is possible. Other sociologists be-
iieve differently, however.
The story is that OF May Joyce Cath
crime CalverD, the daughter OF steve
dore and a shopgirl in Grand street
Both her parents are Irish. The father
who rules the family. holds that what
was good enough for him is good enough
for his children. but when he orders May
to marry a rough man Of his own kind
she revolts, and escapes. via an uptown
apartment whose rent is paid by
State Senator. and reaches the haven OF
happy marriage. Her delicate younger
sister. who has been forced TO marry the
man originally destined for her. is killed
by the fellows neglect and cruelty. and
-. LII ka
derer is aided TO escape punishment. and
is cured OF his homicidal mania by Mays
physician husband.
This physician is the social philosopher
OF the play-tae authors mouthpiece
What he says has been said often before
by reformers and he says ii again at
great length. The part is played some
what stifly by jerome Patrick. AS May
Joyce, the heroine. Catherine Calvert
gives n satisfactory performance: and
Anne Macdonald gives CHASTITY reality TO
the pitiable figure Of the delicate sister
dying In the hour Of her escape. James
A. Marcus. as the father; Jessie Ralph, as
the mother handle their parts well. In
fact the realism Of the first act, in a ten
ement near Cherry Hill. is striking. And
Harry Mestayer. as the young tough
turned avenger. gives his role both the
comic relief and the intensity for which
it calls. The play needs pruning. There
are too many long and platitudinous
speeches. but that is a defect that can be
remedied And perhaps when this has
been done THE Escape" will make a
stronger impression than II did last night.
