rEVFRAL scenarios have come in
= lately that have dealt with the Sc
rious problem OF the girl in the
reform school. One story which has
interested me more than the others is a
gripping, tense, emotional drama OF
which the skeleton is the character de-
velopment of girls who are forced by
social conditions to spend years IN
reform school The scenario was writ
ten by an eliminate Of one of the larg-
est schools for girls in the country. and
when she asked for a personal inter
view, I granted it gladly, feeling It was
the duty of every American girl to ac-
quaint herself with the existing coudi-
tions in such institutions.
So interested was | in what she had
to teii me that, few weeks afterward,
I was taken through reform school by
one of the natrons.
There | was permitted to ask cues
lions freely of the girls. bat the an
swers were. while polite, always mono
svilsbic and non -committal. They were
much more anxious to ask me questions
about the movies than TO answer any
questions about themselves or their sur
roundings.
How attractively neat the girls are,
I remarked as they passed by. dressed
in dark blue calico dresses and little
lighf, weiI-starched aprona, which stole
from the idea of uniforms.
You should see us on Sunday, ptped
one of the girls, when we go to chapel
for religious services. Then we wear
our pretty WOODEN dresses or gingham
summer dresses of various eolors and
made according to the way we like
them best. am ono of the girls who
get dresses from home, and sometimes

Studying them earnestly, / was i'm
pressed with the belief that these giris
are not much different from other girls
of their age who are not so unfortu-
nateH incarcerated. They may have
risen from a lower environment and
their mistakes may have been even law
lessly serious, bat still their paths have
no so far diverged from the common
lot as 20 have ineffaceabiy marked
them. Il 10 the object of the school, OF
course, not to hold them responsible
for anything they may have done at
this immature age, nor to look hpon
them as criminals sent there for pun
i.hment, but to afford them a shelter
from the webs of their former exist
cnee and to train them so they will live
clean, capable lives when they are final
" released from the school
1t is said that from eighty-five TO
ninety per cent of the girls sent TO re-
form schools have no mothers, bad
mothers, or stepmothcrs. who have not
understood them. 1t irnpresses upon rs
the important part mother plays in the
lives of her children. doubt If one
single girl sent to a reform school has
had what we would consider the ideal
mother.
Of course, not all of the girls sent
to these schools have transgresscd
against society. Many of them are
there because they have no homes and
selfish relatives are tired of supporting
them, while they are too young and in
experienced to earn their livelihood.
Many of the girls who have been taken
to the schools from notorious resorts
are girls who were thrust out into the

ris Theater, New York city, register
ing ar "Eiinor Shale," the biggest sue
cess OF her particularly successful Ca
reer. and has recently duplicated that
success by run equally successful OF
three months at the Cort Theater, Chi

and to give Miss Ellington the greatest
opportunities she has ever had" Not
only does this apply to her work In
the big emotional scenes. but 1t Is
equally true of the lighter passages
in the play which demand comedy
work of the highest plane. When tho
great emotional storm breaks in the
third act OF 1.-The Lie" and the Ehnor

to be superb. She RACES with the

to have been put to death in Chihua-

Among them were Americans and
other foreigners as we'll as Mexicans

stories of the execution of great num-
bers of Mexicans accused of support

interviewed by government agents
and by the press without bringing any
charges of this nature to light.
