red and blue, after the style of the
Louis XIII period
To open this new little theater the
third of its kind in Manhattan, Mr..
Hopkins had brought over the London
success, 1.-The Marriage of Columbine.
This is a comedy in four acts, as dainty
as the theater itself
Besides Mr.. Hopkins, the cast Of the
play includes Herbert Yost Edward
Emory, Charles Hampden, John Edward
Emory, Mrs. Hopkins, Louise Closer
Hale, Eleanor Corey, Vera Pole and
Linda Bolton.
The play takes the audience into the
intimate home life of the people OF
the circus. Little Columbine is a
dancing girl whose sweet innocence
comes in contact with the narrow
mindedness and provinciality of the
British small town. The scenes take
place mostly in the rooms of Scara-
mcuche, who is a famous circus clown.
Harold Chaplin, the playwright, IS an
American by birth, but has lived IN
England nearly all his thirty years
and at the present writing he is serv-
ing on the continent with the British
army ambulance corps. Besides writ
ing numerous plays. Mr.. Chaplin has
acted in some of them and has also
been a scene painter, stage manager,
producer and author

first produced in London by the Play

suit of many years Of experimentation
in learning how to transport the pearl
oyster from his home in the sea and
to make him build up the precious
gems more abundantIy than he would
do amid his natural surroundings.
A pearl has been POLITICALLY described
as a crystalized tear, because it is the
product, II not of actual suffering. at
least of much bodily irritation endured
by the oyster that gives birth to it.
It is a growth consisting Of successive
layers of crystalline carbonate Of lime
formed around some irritating particle,
such as minute grain Of sand or an
internal parasite, or an undeVeioped
egg cell in the body or the animal
If small, solid particles are purposely
put inside the shells while the animals
are growing pearls are usually pro-
duced. This is the process pursued by
DR.. Mikimoto. The oysters are taken
out Of water after they have attained
a certain size and the irritating sub
stance is introduced. From three to
five years are then required for the
growth Of pearls of satisfactory size
and quality.
SocaIed pearls are found sometimes
in ordinary oysters, but they are not
lustrous, and have no value. The real
pearl owes its beauty to the iridescent
brilliance Of its surface. which is due
to the microscopic situations with which
it is covered. These split up the light
rays into their primary color waves,
like the "diffraction grating of the
astronomer. Thousands Of miniature
rainbows play in 4 simmer of delicate
spectra over the cOruscating surface
Of the gem.
The richest native beds of marine
pearl oyster are found in the waters
around Ceylon, and in those of the
Gulf of California, although the ami
mails are widely distributed through
the warm climates of the globe.
A species of fresh water mussels also
produces fine pearls. These, too, are
widely distributed, and in the United
States are especially abundant in the
Mississippi valley Many are found in
Arkansas, Tennessee. Kentucky lowe,
Wisconsin and other states.
A few. years ago there was exhibited

known in all the gay capitals Of
Europe.
Since the courts have awarded the
husband their child she has led the
sWiftest of lives and now she is on the
pcint of self destruction. But, saved
from this, she makes a great effort to
become acquainted with her daughter
row fine miss OF seventeen VINO
thinks the present lady Heppel is her
own parent
Diana believes she should never have
been separated from her child, what
ever good society, as typified by the
courts, might see in such course.
But when she sees the problem
clearly, in this concrete example, a
change comes over her. She cannot
keep her daughter near her without
the penalty Of letting this girl read
her sordid story. She finds she herself
is making the same decision that
society had made,
She is WOoing the young girls affec-
ton and confidence when she finds
that her daughters fiance is a man
whose mistress she herself has been.
To order him away in such way as
to be effective she must herself leave
her daughter forever but this she
brings herself to do.
