"THE RENTED EARL"

Well, well, here's Lawrence
DOrsay in a role eminently suited to
him, as we'll adapted as was the earl
Of PaWtucket. Indeed, one half sus-
poets Salisbury Field had Mr.. D'Orsay
in mind when he penned THE Rented
Earl" SO far as Mr.. DOrsay goes
the new earl is a decided success. The
play is full of laughs, although the
rest of the company don't live up to
the earl's standard
The story told at the Maxine Elliot
theater concerns a stolid, simple, haw-
having earl of Carmondale, quite un-
affectedly out of funds and comes to
America to be a ''ranchah." Here he
falls into the welcoming hands of a
young bOoging agent. who rents his
ludship out TO families gradually ris-
ing in the social order by the assist
ance of the ,dmighty dollar.
The earl Captivates and is capti-
waited by a young girl in one of the
country houses that receives him and
is unmasked by a jealous swain.
Besides Mr.. D'Orsay / might men
ton Albert Brown. an able and YER
satile actor, who gives a good account
of himself as the earl of CarmOndale's
manager. although il is difficult to
believe that his performance visual

lean Mr.. Field must have had in
mind.

err" 1t has a dash and ferver like an
old-fashioned evangelist's attack up
or the devil
1t tells the story of a man who stay
ed at home instead of going TO war
and so is thought a coward.
In reality he is a high official in the
secret service and is staying at this
boarding house on the east coast of
England in order 10 thwart the ma
lignant efforts Of German spies max
ing their headquarters here.
Really il is hard to conceive such
wickedness. The woman who keeps
the boarding house is the widow of q
German general; and worse still a son
by this first husband is taking the
name Of the second husband and j
stealing naval secrets while acting as
clerk in the British admiralty.
These important, very important
secrets, he imports to his mother,
who sends them to Germany by car
rier pigeon.
Also German gOverness. natural
lied as an EnglishWOman and not in
Germany for 20 years, which time she
has spent in the employ Of British
noble families Greatly as a spy is CO.
operating with this develish mother
and son.
Finally the waiter. supposed to be
full tribe of spies.
But they are foiled by the man who
stayed at home and an attractive
widow. The latter has TO do a hor-
rible thing. In order not to be sus-
pected by these German spies she has
at one point to declare herself a Ger
man spy. Considerable sacrifice.
But don't leave now. Sit still a few
moments and see the grand climax.
There is a German submarine in the
harbOr, although there are English
men-of-war there, of whose presence
the Germans are unaware. There is
to be a bomb exploded The bonn
will signal the submarine TO attack
the town and at the same time de-
strOy all the British in the house The
four Germans have a motor car wait
ing for their escape.
But just as the son is about to ex-
plOde the bomb he discovers the sup
/ posed British coward signalling with
an electric fashlight Bingl Bngl
Pistols; and the spy is marched away
to the nearest convenient blank wall:
where we are left 10 presume the rest
OF the gazing arrived in short order
The secret service man is indicated
and falls into the arms of his no long
! er suspicious beloved.
This play is the hit Of the moment
in London and I suppose you or I
/ would appreciate it more if we had
spent a few nights in a darkened
metropolis wondering whether the
next Zeppelin bomb would hit or
miss us.
There is some excellent acting.

THE FREE WILL MARRIAGE

For food and shelter and clothes we
must have.
Such training will Danish from a
girls heart the great misgiving, the
fear that she Will not be able to earn
her daily bread. 1t will make a girl
free TO marry the man she wishes TO
marry, or 10 marry no man at all
If every girl were trained to fol-
low some occupation. which If follow
ed, viii make her independent of mar
riage as a means of support she need
not marry except in obedience TO the
dictates of her heart Today many
young woman marries because she
reasoned. i may never have another
chance. This one will have TO sup
port me and If I can't stand my life
with him l can divorce him
such a marriage carries in itself
the seed of separation. l believe one
OF the most frequent causes of divorce
state for some other reason than
love"
tt is a strong argument this by a
former chief executive OF our nation.
Think il over, YOU mCther, and you
father. and decide 70 give your girl
not only as good an education as pos
sible. but q training in some means of
livelihood. This not only to enable
her. If she marries. to marry a man
she loves. for you may be of those
unrOmantic folk who think that
doesn't much matter. But give her
this chance so that she may not add

BY Ada Patterson.


A former president of the United
states has been arguing for the free
viii marriage.
Yes there are two kinds OF mar
riage. that of free will and that of
necessity; the one made from choice,
the other because one must. This is
his description of the free viii mar
riage:
Il wish that every woman i'm the
world were so situated that she did not
think 10 was necessary for her TO
marry If she did not want 10. This
Is a proposition that I am prepared
TO defend against all Corners / would
have the matter SO arranged that the
women when they came 20 decide and
make their choice, should have full
and free choice, and that can only
be reached when they are put in q
Etuation where that which they
choose lis not life they select be-
cause IL is better than some that they
expect, but life that they look for
ward 10 with unmiNed happiness
Il shall give my daughter as good
an education as / can" he said. so
that she shall marry only when she
chooses 10 marry and not because of
circumstances"
This is the modern parental atti-
tude- You who are prince today may
bc pauper tomorrow. Let your Gaugh-
ter be trained TO do something which
can supply a community with neces-
sites rather than Injuries The first
pinch OF hard times is felt by the pur-
veyors OF luNuries. Theaters are
CLOSED. Theatrical maSagers fail.
Actors salaries are cut so per cent.
