turf courts of the Seabright Lawn Ten

Position Almost Certain.
The success of Williams makes his
position on the Davis cup team an al

the top of his game. and his success in
both the Westchester and Seabright
tournaments has very much encouraged
the members of the international com
mlttee on management, VINO cdreiuiiS
watched the play of the contestants
during the tournament.
Williams had hard fight to win the
first set, and when Pell annexed the
second and third matters looked none
too bright for the Philadelphian. The
latter. however rallied and by a brill
liant display succeeded in pulling the
match out of the fire.
The opposing players engaged in
base line duel in the first three sets.

settled into his game, surprised the
spectators by outplaying Williams. His

found it impossible to pass Williams,

OF it. The rallies were swiftly played.
but Pell was always trailing, despite

Thousands of Employees
But All British Born


ers passing in and out could have no
idea what manner of use this thing
could be that looked so much more like
reredos in cathedral than any pos
sible utility for sweet-meat shop. In
deed, the one clue to its possible use
was the fact that it was fianked on one
side by counters bearing heavy loads of
sweetmeats and those strange, horrible
and deathly poisons known as Ameri-
can candies.
BILE and silver stood the other gentle
man from Chicago. Between him ana
the man at the head of the store were
some thousands OF employees, but they
were all British born. The merchant
prince knew that he could not import
American help and even his manager
and his first assistants were English,
albeit some of them had gained their
Stars and Stripes. He could not find d
soda jerker in Britain. so he had to
bring along Just one American.
For while the soda jerker led a
tourist CHANGING upon the corner un-
awares emitted a scream of joy, did he
find his wares appreciated or his artis-
try recognized. At tea time in the aft
ernoon, little crowds of Americans would
come in and sit at tables in front Of
his shrine. eating fruit sundaes, drink
ink limeade and doing whatever is nee
essary to be done in the joint eating
| and drinking of ice cream sodas.
Lined up under AN archway stood the
terrified natives, half afraid that the
people eating all that ice would die,
and half afraid they wouldn't. Occa-
sionally bold little boy or an ignor-
ant little girl would say: Mamma. let
us try some" Whereupon Britannia
would assert herself and drag her Off
spring away from the tempter to the
safe retreat of the tea table.
That was five years ago. But one
by one. some wilder and more rebel
lous spirits broke the chains of con-
servatism and tasted They were lost.
Once the chocolate sundae has been
permitted to steal away ones reason,
even if one be an Englishman, its Sc
ductions never again can be withstood.
So the traveller going again into this
great store in 1914 finds not one but
several white-coated young men behind
the shrine of onyx and marble and sill
yer. finds scores of tables where there
were only two or three, finds dozens of
young women in trim. white uniforms,
bearing sweets from the fountain, and
even finds an entirely new fountain,
bigger than the old one, installed on
another floor to take care of the over
flow.

"Alias Jimmy Valentine" Appcars Be-
fore Small Audience.

"Alias Jimmy Valentine" Appears Be.
fcre Small Audience.
Before a small audience at the Odeon
Friday night Paul Armstrong; roman
tic play Of the underworld. Alias
Jimmy Valentine" was presented for
the first time locally.
Headed by Victor Lambert, the cast
was very satisfactory as to principals
but weak ir it's minor characters. Mr..
Lambert appeared to very good advan'
tsge in the name part and Camille
Burnell was very fair as Rose Lane.
An excellent delineation Of the charac-
ter role Of Bill Avery, q bank burg
lcr, was given by Charles Hawkins,
one of the old time character men be-
FIRE the footlights, and creator OF
character parts I'm Shore Acres" |'Ten-
ntssees Pardner," and other we'll
known plays. Jess Hale. as Doyle. the
detective, was also good impersona-
ton especially true to life. Harry
Dixon was good as Red Jociyn, sneak
thief.
The story of alias Jimmy Valen-
tine" is built around the character OF
a bank burglar who. because Of an act
in defense Of young woman. wins the
alters sympathy, while doing time" A
pardon is secured, and responsible po-
sition 10 given the convict in the bank
owned by the young woman's father.
Here after three years, q detective
trails Valentine, who is known by his
right name, Lee Randall. Wanting VAL
entine for an old crime, committed in
Massachusetts, Randall prepares de-
Tense Of alibis, and all goes we'll until
the little sister of his benefactress ac-
cidentally is locked in the bank vault.
AS Randall is presenting his alibis to
the detective, Red" Joclyn, who has
also reformed and has been made the
Waterman of the bank, rushes in, call
ing Randall by his old name, and beg
ging him to hurry and open the bank
vault to save the child's life. Randall
complies and, gifted by an apparently
superhuman power that enables him to
open unknown combina tons by a sense
Of touch, Randall opens the safe while
the detective watch him work. Con-
fronted by the evidence that he is
really Jimmy Valentine, Randall offers
to go, but the detective, witnessing the
love Of Randalrs benefactress for him,
presents the love and companionship
OF the young to them, and all ends
happily, if not as strongly as it might.
