under the circumstances, however, and
il was mother-in-law who made all the
trouble. She received her Just deserts
and was shipped out of Hoorah City on
the sos local, while Bud and Bill and
Geraldine and Joe and the baby lived
happy ever after.
"The Microscope Mystery" is ex-
planned at the Rialto this week, and
Hilda, the Daytons' hired girl, does the
explaining.
Wilfred Lucas Is DR.. Arnold, so old
fashioned that he wears a nightshirt
and tells his patients they have moth
ing wrong with them. That is where
he makes a fatal mistake.
Ira Dayton fancied he had everything
from housemaids' knee to infantile
paralysis, and when Doc Arnold told
him he would probably live to be a
hundred he was so angry he refused to
allow Doc to marry Constance Tai
madge, who in the play was Jessie, his
daughter.
Ira sets about finding a doctor who
has brains enough TO recognize the Sc
robustness of his various complaints,
and il does not take Horatio Bell long
to land him.
Horatio is not prudent, however, and
when he forces Ira TO sign a check for
$4,000 and makes love to Ira's hired
girl he defeats his own ends. Jud, a
kalf-witted man. who works for the
Daytons, also is in love with Hilda.
When he finds DR.. Bell has trified with
the affections of Hilda he shoots him.
Jessie is accused of the crime, and
this is where the microscope comes IN,
for Doc Arnold discovers germs Of tu-
borculosis on the pistol, and so traces
the shooting to Jud. Monte Blue, as
Jud. is excellent; at least, he makes a
most disagreeable character real; but
the scene in court is distressing, and
every one was glad when Bud confessed
and was led away.
Glove and Hate" at the Academy
this week, sets itself the task of con-
verting those addicted to divorce. Just
how matters would have been bettered
in the Sterling household had there
been no divorce is not made plain, but
at any rate it was difficult to conceive
of any ones wanting a divorce from
Bertha Kalich. She is much too beauti-
full and graceful and we'll groomed for
a man lightly to relinquish so much
pulchrjtude.
And, then, Robert Sterling had no
right to the child anyway. He was a
suspicious husband, and while most Of
the spectators were glad when he
put Stuart Holiness eye out, it did
seem as though he might have consid-
cred that expiation and let it go at
that. No, indeed Not Robert. He
dragged them into court. and there
Stuart Holmes made himself still more
unpopular by swearing on the witness
stand that the defendant had made all
the advances to him. That was when
the court gave Robert the custody Of
the child.
Stuart Holmes is still not satisfied,
and he steals little Myrtle and refuses
TO return the child until Helen has
promised TO be his. Helen promises,
but every one knows she is not going
TO keep her promise. Stuart was dis
agreeable enough with two eyes, but
with only one he is quite repellant, and
il is a satisfactory ending when Helen
shoots him and he dies in agony and
an embroidered dressing gown.
The Lee children. Jane and Kath-
crime, have only little to do, but they
make the most of that. Madeleine lie
Nard is satisfactorily disagreeable as
Rita Lawson and wears some fetching
gowns.
Nine. Kalich Is convincing in the part
Of Helen Sterling without once resort
ing to the wild rawlings with which
emotional actresses too often seek TO
impart to the world the fact that they
are suffering. IL. u
