Another screen actress is rising
rapidly to the pinnacle of popularity
Her name is Margery Wilson, and she
plays in Triangle films. She Is a bru-
nette and strikingly pretty, with that
indefinable quality that directors call
personality.
She has lately been seen in THE
Primal Lure" playing opposite vii
liam 5. Hart, and now she is to ap-
pear in support of Douglas Fairbanks
in his seventh Triangle play, The
Assassin" Why is it, by the way, that
Fairbanks seems to be taking all OF
Harris leading ladies away? He just
took Bessie Love
Miss Wilson has already made her
name on the speaking stage. 1t was
while resting in California from ar
duous labors there, that she became
interested in film work and applied to
D. w. Griffith for a position. Her first
picture convinced him that she was
the sort of material he was seeking,
and at once made her member OF
his permanent stock company.
Something New in Movie Drama
Undoubtedly the future of movie
drama is in doing what cannot be
done on the stage, not in merely pro-
ducing plays.
Something new In this direction is
to be offered in a Fox picture star
ring June Caprice.
She drinks a glass of wine and it
goes to her head. When that happens
on the stage the confused one says
she sees double, and we take her
word for it.
In this film-play the audience is
made to see just what the dizzy young
person in the play sees. This is &C
complished by photographing parts of
| the picture twice and throwing both
| together on the screen.
| In comes a nearsighted old lady
whose old-fashioned spectacles are on
| her forehead.
She looks at the hero, and sees him
dimly The audience is made to see
as through her near-sighted eyes.
| This is by photographing the Jig
ure out of focus. Then she adjusts
her glasses, and the audience, with
the old lady in the play, sees the hero
clearly.

used to play Indian girl parts almost

WOUNDED MAh|S
FOUND IN Street
Stranger Lying in Pool OF Blood Be.
Ieyed to Have Been Victim of
Murder0us Assault.
NO MEANS OF IDENTIFICATION
Gives Only Incoherent Replies to
Questions at Hospital, But In
sists He Lives in Rock Island.

A man was beaten to unconscious
ness in Rock Island last night At St.
Anthony's hospital today he talked in
coherently and was unable to give the
authorities any clew which would lead
to his identity.
He was found on Twelfth street be-
tween Fifth and Sixth avenues by the
night Waterman at the Rock Island
woodworks He was lying in the
middle of the street. Blood was ooz-
ing from several cuts about the head.
His body was bruised.
The police ambulance took him to
the station and a doctor called to at
tend him. He was ordered to the hos
pital. There were no means of identi-
tication on his clothes. He appears to
be about 50 years old and had SIS in
his pocket.
He remained unconscious until
about 1890 o'clock this morning. He
seemed to be gaining his senses at
that time and he was questioned, but
his remarks were very vague. He gave
several names, but the police be-
lieved that he was still out of his
head and probably did not know what
he was talking about, they have with
held the names pending an investiga-
ton. He stated that he lived in Rock
Island, but would not say on what
street or tell where he works. Au-
thorities are not inclined to believe he
is resident of this city.
Case Is Mysterious.
How he was rendered unconscious
remains a mystery. The attending
physicians declared today that the
marks indicated that he was probably
beaten up, as the bruises are of such a
nature that they could not have been
inflicted in a fall.

MAUD ALLAN AT THE PALACE
Dancer and Smith-Golden Playlet in
Headline Spots

The thorough art of Maud Allan.
which hitherto has been revealed prln-
cipally at matinees on out-of-the-way
afternoons. is the conspicuous feature
of the new programme at the Palace.
Miss Allan appears in several numbers
already well known TO her followers,
among them the solo dances to the
Spring Song" and THE Blue Danube.
She is seen also in the episode OF
Nair, the white slave, in which she has
the assistance of Stafford Pemberton
and others. Alfred Kastner, harpist,
provides an enjoyable interlude.
More than the usual interest at
tached to Mind Your Own Business,
inasmuch as it is the work Of Winchell
Smith and John l.. Golden, co-author
and co-manager, respectively, Of Turn
to the Right Although the title indi-
Gated a comedy which should expose
the i'll results of meddling, the piece Is
in reality violent domestic farce,
hackneyed in form, scant Of humor ana
quite devoid of cleverness. 1t is un-
likely to injure the well-earned reputa-
tions of the Messrs. Smith and Golden,
however, since it bears evidence OF be-
ing something dug up out OF trunk
hastily rewritten. Digby Bell is seen
in the leading role.
William Rock and the petite Miss
White are back again, as is Cecil Gun
ningham, singing Jean Havez's excep-
tionally good songs. Laurie and bron-
son present Lost and Found" and
Moran and Weiser are still able to
make hats do anything at all.

perfect is the relationship OF mother
and son in her household and who
even reads poetry at him about ma,
ternsl love. The character is real
enough. and without doubt such
woman is appealing, though far from
admirable. Moreover, the part allows
Laurette Taylor 10 sentimentalize the
audience into fits.
There is much charm in some
OF these early scenes, but by and by
the spectator cannot fail TO feel
tug which is not at the heart strings.
He must realize whittier the play, HIM
self and the whole houseful of people
are drifting. As early as the end OF
Act / we feared that things were de-
veloping in such manner that by ana
by there would be a scene in when
the little woman in brown would con,
front the big hussy in scarlet. Ana
there was.
The hussy may have all the best OF
il in inches. pounds and experience
but the odds are ten to one on the 1T
tie woman in brown, with no takers.
That encounter is always fixed. We
think that the last act of "The Harp
of Life" is as annoying piece oil the
atrical clap-trap as we have ever seen
Il is particularly annoying because the
audience gave indications last night OF
liking it very much. The whole play
was applauded rapturously from start
to finish. Which brings us to the act
ing of Laurette Taylor.
Miss Taylor slides one word into an
other. When she plays a serious scene
she speaks ever so slowly, and gives
each word two or three syllables II
never before possessed. To indicate
grief of the milder sort she blows her
nose. Poignant sorrow is marked by
a sharp bronchial wheeZe. Perhaps
Laurette Taylor would be foolish to
change her methods. Almost everybody
applauded her constantly last night,
and it is safe TO say that they will do
so for many other nights. And yet we
think that in the great book on high
where the false is finally sorted from
the true. the performance given by the
star last night will be rated as no bet
ter than middling good. This, of course
is not direct revelation, but merely the
expression OF an opinion tinged with
hope.
There are some reasons why any au'
dience has a right to applaud Laurette
TAYLOR. II her mannerisms and they
have grown-were brushed away. she
would stand forth as an actress of un'
deniable charm and woman who car

feeling. IL was a bit in the hrst act'
where Mrs. Brooke told how she hrst
came TO tell her boy about the secrets
of life. This is n mighty well written
speech and sounds most plausible, even
though il is in direct conflict with the
theory of Professor Munsterberg that
sex education for the young is evll IN
its effects.
This subject no doubt is open to de-
bate. but a later point made by the
playwright cannot be sustained me

beauties of nature and Of sex urges
her husband 10 tell the boy, now tnat
he is nineteen. Of the dangers anf
horrors as we'll. He is loath 10 do so,
and when the boy becomes entanglSd
with a woman of i'll repute Mrs. Brooke
upbraids her husband, saying, III you
had only warned HIM" We are asked
to accept the theory that all a young
man needs to save him from the PIT
falls Of the world is just a bit OF ad-
vice. Tannhauser might never have
tarried if he had only heard a gooi
lecture or sex hygiene.
Be that as il may. "The Harp OF
Life" tells the story of young mother
who loves her boy with an all absorb
ing passion. We are shown how she
shields him when he stays away from
home for the first night in his life, and
how she stiles her grief even when he
tells her that he is to marry woman
whom she has never seen. Later the
mother learns that the woman Is little
better than a harlot, and she resolves
TO save her boy at any cost.
The last act is the scene between
the mother and the woman. II Is pre-
posterous. We are given TO under
stapd that the woman loves the boy
and vet, after a brief talk with the
mother, she drives him away by some
callous talk about the many men she
has loved No clear explanation IS
given for her sacrifice, and the scene
in which she suggests TO Mrs. Brooke
that she has missed an enormous deal
by being a faithful wife is too silly
for words. II is also TO be noted that
the playwright proceeds on the theory
that a loose woman is OF necessity an
atheist.
Gail Kane is the adventures, and
she plays an impossible part badly. In
the main 1.-THE Harp of Life" is well
acted. Philip Merivale gives an able
and altogether attractive performance
as the husband. His is much the best
work of the play. Frank Kemble
Cooper is easy and natural as man
of the world, and Dion Titheradge does
we'll as young Brooke.
The tune which Hartley Manners
plays upon "The Harp of Life is not
so good as it used to be, and it never
was.
