these three plays. In THE Legend OF
Leonora" he has made a subtle study

vagaries and her inability to see any

own. He marvels at the ends to whlch
a mother will go in protecting her
child. and he covers his theme, mother
hood, with gloss of wit and quite
bit of travesty. Leonora is one OF the
most fascinating of his heroines: ana
yet she is q murdereSS. The role OF
Leonora makes more demands upon
Miss Adams skill as an actress than
any other role that Barrie has given
her. The play is in three & acts;

Newman Traveltalk Sunday.

The experiences of E. NJ. Newman,
the traveltalker, in Berlin last summer
when he was arrested and detained for
taking pictures after war had been de-
clared, has a parallel in a similar oc-
currence. of which he was the victim. IN
Port Arthur, soon after the beginning
of the Russo-Japanese war. In both
instances Mr. Newman was temporarily
confined in military prison, and he
was set at liberty only after the diplo-
matte representative of the United
States had interceded and vouched for
him, although his cameras were confis :
Gated as contraband of war. In Port
Arthur he was also deprived of his pic
lures. but in Berlin, through the aid OF
Ambassador Gerard, he was permitted
to retain the photographs he had taken
of the demonstrations and activities at
the outbreak of the war. These Will

a warmer or more enthusiastic following
