Frank Daniels in Insmitabte Comedy
at Opera House Today.

The advent of Frank Daniels, the
inimitable one, into the films, is a
matter worthy of more serious note
than all the invas ions made by pic
ture makers into fields of the ! esiti
mate. That there is an impress siye
scarcity of real funmakcrs worl King
for the screen is an acknowled ged
fact The few real screen comedians
have, in most aases, never been
heard of Prior to- their first work il,
the pictures.
"a handicap t hat confronts the
silent play" COZ nedian is that he
must be silent Lines" are the big
assets in funm; liking. With the abili-
ty to put theml over often ends the
ability to Great e laughter with men
who are suppc ,sedy funny. Many Of
those, who nave made thousands
laugh from the speaking stage,
would fail on. their first screen ap-
pearance.
The sore en- comedian must depend
entirely G n mannerisms to create
mirth for the audience, and with few
exceptio ms, they lack the reaf quail
ties. ,Aakteup will help, but minus
the forme'', even that is lost.
In the perturbation of "Crooky,'
the Vitag raph company's Blue Rib
bon feat ire, Frank Daniels, rightly
named 1.-THE Comic Opera KING and
world IL nous as fun maker, was
chosen for this difficult role after
NJ uch consideration by the Vitae raph
management.
That he was a good choice is
proven by the impression the film is
creating wherever it is shown. Ills
very appearance is the sigma! for an
outbuas5t of merriment that continues
throu ghout the run His very first
move ment and gesture are followed
by laugh, while his educated eye
brow are irresistible mirth provok-
ers.
He liz typically adapted for screen
work b ecause mostly all of the nee
essacy qualities are contained in his
natural makeup and carriage.
In &C :ooky" Mr.. Daniels has out
done hir nself His style is individual
anil his fun is clean and wholesome,
with not a suggestion of the vulgar.

knockinu on Wood.

'Knock on wood" is one Of the most
antique expressions in use today in
stead of being modern slang, according
to Professor William f. Babe. The ex-
preston dates from custom in vogue
5000 years ago, when wood was re-
garded as the antipathy of evil genius
es. Metals were regarded as tabooed
by certain spirits, and If man han
died these metals he immediately
touched wood to appease the spirits.
Ancient records show that King Solo,
mons temple was built with wooden
tools and implements made Of precious
metals, for iron was tabooed and would
have polluted the temple Exchange.

The whereabouts of the couple was

Cranshaw was locked up for six
months and Mrs. Pride would have
suffered the same fate ff~her husband
had not interfered, paid her fine and
brought her back home with him to
Newport.
Here he attempted to help her for
get her folly and live down her dis
grace.
Pride was a model husband before
the tragic breaking up Of his home.
He became a perfect one while try
ing to patch its ruins together.
But it was all to no avail. A
stranger, an innocent unborn babe,
whose father Mrs. Pride claims to be
Cranshaw, announced its coming and
put new light upon affairs.
Pride even then offered to keep his
wife and rear this nameless little one
as his own. But her love for Gran
shaw seemed only to be deepened, she
told her husband she could not be
happy without the lover with whom
she had fed.
Pride thought the matter over and
over. He was torn between his love
for his wife and his UnseIfish interest
in her happiness. Her happiness won
and he Immediately set about to OBJ
tain the release of Cranshaw and a
divorce from his wife.
why make three people unhappy,
and a fourth one, yet unborn, pay the
penalty" said Pride today when dis
cussing the tragic triangle.
my wife cares more for CranshaW
than she does for me. He loves her
and love her. Since her marriage to
Cranshaw would render both of them
happy and just one person miserable,
why should it not take place?

my little girl, all her life. 1t is the
only thing am living for now.
''As l look back over my life l can
not see how could have avoided this
trouble. I am glad took CTanshaw
into my home. He was down and out,
with no job or means. Of course 1

for
Meanwhile Mrs. Pride is in Toledo
seeing Cranshaw every day at the To-
ledo workhouse. She is now making
arrangements to ask Mayor Standish
to grant her husbands plea that
Cranshaw be released.
But Mayor Standish declares that
he will not parole Cranshaw until
Pride has actually started divorce
proceedings.
81 came to love Bessie when we
were alone, evening after evening""
declares Cranshaw. "She is not at
all strong, so 1 washed dishes, swept
and busted for her. I just shaved for
that woman. When I found that I
loved the girl I suggested to her hus-
band that he get a divorce"
Divorce specialists in Cincinnati
are studying this triangle of love and
misery in an effort to discover where
in lies the subtle attraction Cranshaw
had for Mrs. Pride.
It was not the lure of youth, for
both men in the case are 35. Mrs.
Pride herself is 81.
And it is not the attraction of lux
uries, for Pride has a good position,
while Cranshaw until lately had been
out of a job.

He said that he did not discuss the

IT did not discuss the mayoralty with
Mr.. Smith," he said. land while II was
true, as my letter to him indicated, that
he had been mentioned as a candidate for
Mayor, l had no reason then to believe
that he regarded the use OF his name
seriously. l was not interested In Mr..
Smith as a candidate for Mayor. Neither

LPPNCOTT MARRIAGE
ILLEGAL, SAYS BISHOP
Canons of Episcopal Church
Violated by Clergyman,
Rhinelander Asserts

The New York clergyman who ofhciateo
AZ the marriage OF jay r. Eppincott
clubman and member OF the family OF
publishers OF that name. 60 Mrs Mary T.
Bogert Huntington. divorced wife OF II
Irving Huntington, violated the tenets oi
the Episcopal Church. ~ the ruling oi
Bishop Rhinelander, head Of the Episco-
pal diocese Of Philadelphia, IL accepted.
Bishop Rhineiander said today that the
canons Of the church forbid the remarry-
ing Of any person while his or her hus-
band or wife was still living, provided
that the person was not the innocent
party In divorce for adultery.
Does that mean, then, that a woman
divorced for barborous treatment could
not remarry7" the bishop was asked. The
bishop replied in the affirmative.
The cause for which the divorce in the
case of Mr.. and Mrs. Huntingtno was
granted last year wos on the grounds OF
barbarous treatment.
The canons OF the Episcopal Church
refer to the matter as follows;
mo minister. knowingly. after due in
quiry, shall solemize the marriage OF any
person who has been or is the husband
or wife of any other person then living
from whom he or she has been divorced
for any cause arising after marriage
But this canon shall not be held to apply
to the innocent party In divorce for
adultery. Provided, that before the APP
plcation for such remarriage a period OF
not less than a year shall have elapsed
after the granting of such a divorce and
provided that II shall be within the dis
cretion' Of any minister to decline to
solemnize any marriage"
The nuptials were solemnized at moor
at the home of the brides parents, Mr.
and Mrs. Henry L. Bogert, at Flushing
L. l. The news of their wedding came as
complete surprise to their friends. as
no announcement had been previously
made.
The married life OF Mr.. and Mrs Hunt
ington was tempestous. Their engage
ment in 1910 was broken, but later, ir
June, they we're married on the same day
they became reconciled. Since their d.
vorce Mrs. Huntington has spent a great
part Of her time in New York.
Mr.. and Mrs. Lippincott are spending
their honeymoon on an extended auto
