tltiOn For Divorce
After A Former One Is Dis.
missed By Court

Mary IL. Rush has commenced an
action for divorce in the court of
common pleas of Knox county against
George f. Rush in which she alleges
cruelty and gross neglect upon the
part of the defendant. The plaintiff
states they were married March 2S,
1900, and that three children were
born to them. The plaintiff alleges
that on November 27, 1915, the de-
fendant was guilty of extreme cruel
ty and that he struck and abused the
plaintiff. She claims that on Feb. z,
1916, the defendant viciously assault
ed the plaintiff, that he struck her
with his fist and that he called her
vile names. She further charges
gross neglect and states that the de-
fendant has failed to provide his chill
dren with the necessities of life. The
plaintiff states that the defendant is
the owner of 800 acres in Clinton
township, on which there is a mort
gage, together with farm implements,
etc. She claims that the defendant is
about to dispose of the property. She
asks for an injunction restraining the
defendant from disposing of the said
property and from in any way inter
fering with the plaintiff and her chill
dren. A temporary injunction was
granted by Judge Blair in the court
of common pleas Monday afternoon.
The plaintiff in this action asks for
divorce and the custody of the chill
dren upon the final hearing. The at
torney for the plaintiff is Jay R. Clut-
ter.
In this case petition for divorce
was filed last fall and on Saturday
the petition was dismissed by Judge
Blair at the cost of the plaintiff. On
Monday afternoon a new petition, as
related above, was filed by the plain
tiff, Mrs. Rush.

THEATRE FRANCAIS
OPENS AT GARRICK
Lavedan'S Catherine" Proves
an Unfortunate Choice

French dramatic literature offers nu-
merous better plays than the one which
was selected for the opening perform
ance on Saturday night of Lucien Bon
hours company at the Garrick Theatre.
Henri Lavedan's Catherine" is excel
lent illustration of the dictum that it
is far easier to write dialogue which
is crisp in spots than to create charac-
tiers and to involve them in drama. In
its best spots the play bears testimony
to the vogue which its author enjoyed
as a writer of biting dialogues for LA
Vie Parisienne" in 1888. Altogether,
however, il is uninspired and betrays
the machinery Of play construction.
The story is of q young Due De
Courtras, who falls in love with and
marries the young piano teacher of his
sister. He is quite oblivious TO the
alteration Of his cousin Helene. After
the marriage the bourgeois family Of
the pianist come to live with the duke
and he finds their manners and habits
almost beyond endurance. They are
kindly, but transgress the code of his
adoring cousin, lives with him also
and finally confesses her love on the
eve of her departure. His wife finds
Helene in his arms. An exceedingly
noble gentleman, who had given up the
pianist that she might marry the duke.
comes at her call, recites the history
of his heroic self-sacrifce and com
poses the difficulties between the cou-
pie.
This theme is sufficiently trite. If il
did not date at the time il was written,
il assuredly does so now. Add such
very ancient devices as the dukes
reading aloud an inspiring letter from
his deceased father, just before the
entrance Of the poor but charming
young woman, whom he is to dignity
with his name, and some idea may be
gained Of the antiquity Of the ideas Of
the piece Its utterly dull morality.
filial piety and too, too noble sentiments
are only now and then relieved by
touches of life.
1t cannot be truthfully said that the
cast was able to infuse into the play
the inspiration which il lacked. At the
special Friday night performance, to
which the privileged were admitted,
the company struggled courageously
with its victorian dulness. Jennie
piska was a dignifed Duchesse De
Courtras, and Yvonne Mirval an APP
pealing Catherine WALTON. Marc Lomon
distinguished himself by his perform
ance of the out-at-elbows, bourgeois
father Of the pianist. and EDGAR Bee
man, barring a tendency 70 shout his
lines and to give them a monotonous
perfection Of intonation, was capable

NAZIMOVA SEEN
IN SCREEN PLAY
WAR Brides" Not Enhanced by
Film embellishments

Herbert Brenon has said that no
film is stronger than its story. but he
failed TO add that it should be no
longer. either. "War Brides" was an
effective short play. but the embellish-
ments which have been piled on for
screen purposes add nothing to its
strength. In fact, for thirty minutes
or more a spectator may well be puz-
zled as TO what it is all about.
The picture gains conference as 1t
proceeds, and ends effectively enough.
The film marks the first appearance OF
ALA Nazimova in the movies. So vivid
an artist is we'll suited to the screen,
but unfortunately the actress seems 10

she must try harder than she ever did
on the stage When woman can con-
vey as much with shrug as Nine.
Nazimova, it is pity 10 see her use
two shrugs. Such shoulder eloquence
ought not to be wasted.
We haven't doubt that II she cared
70 remain in the films Nazimova would
have no difficulty in driving all the
cther vampires DhCh 10 Hoie "V"S'
labor. but at the present moment she
has not yet learned all that there IS TO
know about the technique of moving
picture acting. Other film favoutes
can grin and caper, hut there IS not
one Of them who can approach Nail
nova in the expression of helpless,
soul-surrendering despair.
There are, then, good moments in the
new film at the Broadway Theatre, and
not little fine photography, but the
producer has not lived up to his prom
Use of introducing no spectacle which
does not bear directly upon the story.
1t must also be observed that in one
scene, depicting the ravages of ma
rauding band of soldiers, the director
leaves nothing to that Imagination
which moving pictures ought to develop
