John lngestre, then. is the hero, the

His imperious father compcls him to

Of abnegation Of self. To complete the
proof Of his submission he accepts the
wife selected for him by his victorious

cause his temperament is baked of its

worse than neglect: in fact. one cannot

THE HONEY POT

TIL HONEY POT By the Countess Barcynska.
l-mo. ~ ga J. j. DuitcH * Co.
This clever story circles around the
chorus OF the most popular musical
comedy theatre in London. IL is the
honey pot of the title; around IL buzz
the flies sprigs Of the nobility. fnan-
c!ers. men Of means Of ali kinds and
condit ons. There are two heroines.
One, young gentlewoman. an officers
daughter, who seeks a stage career;
the other, a child Of the theatre, famil-
lar with its seamy side since Oh Id
hood; familiar, also, with the easiest
way and the end 10 which 10 leads. Her
innocence is not that of ignorance; she
knows that she will take the first step
some day. IL is the contrasting att. o.
tude of these two girls toward tho
problems Of their life, and their solu-
ton, which gives the book its color.
The author is reticent with the gentle
woman. frank with the daughter Of the
CO .lisses, TO whom the solution is mere
~ matter of economies without much
moral signifcance But with all its
frankness the story never offends
against good taste. And if there be
villain, there are two heroes. so all
ends we'll After all, there is nothing
forced in a denOuement which brings
about still another marriage between
the peerage and the chorus. The two
women are we'll drawn. The character
studies are convincing and consistent
beneath the outward differentiation Of
birth. breed ng and early environment.
A readable story whose insistence upon
certain conditions is not allowed to
spol its romance.

You are challenge and promise. peace

Nearly Drowned Saving Near-C Child

One of the mere incidents of the
film Poor Little Peppina," in which
Mary Pickford stars at the Broadway
Theatre during the coming week, the
first seven-reel picture in which this
favorite has ever appeared. is the
transfer of kidnapped baby from the
Italian shore TO small boat, which takes
her out 20 a schooner in the distance.
1t is a totally unimportant scene, but
il furnished the players with one Of
the most exciting moments Imaginable.
Rather than risk the life of the
little child who was playing the role
of victim, Sidney Olcott, who directed
this Famous Piayers-Paramount piet-
ure, decided to- have small bundle
wrapped in a shawl for Cesare Ora
vina, the doughty kidnapper, TO carry
to the boat. When the party reached
the Long Island shore, which was I'M
pressed into service to represent Italy,
the waves were running high. II was
decided, however. 70 send the boat out.
Accordingly, Gravina took the bundle
in his arms and waded out 70 the row.
boat, which was tossing about a few
yards off shore. After hauling him
aboard. the men at the oars pulled for
the schooner. but when they attempted
to make landing they overturned the
boat and were thrown into the water.
Gravina, madly clutching the bundle.
yelled for help.
"The child The child" shricked
the excited Italian as he clasped the
bundle in his arms and went down.
Twice did he disappear, each time APP
pealing for assistance for the infant
which his overweight Imagination
still pictured a. being in his arms.
Finally the combined shouts OF the
crew and the men on shore penetrated
his excited mind. He realized the truth
and, dropping the bundle, swan to the
schooner with ease.
