Gladys Brockwell has a difficult role
in The Sins of Her Parent" which il
playing at the Academy for the first
four days of the week As the mother,
dancer in an Alaskan music hall, she
is intensely disagreeable. She has a
sullen, sinister face and she drinks and
smokes with rather too much abandon.
As the daughter she is sweet, beautiful
and childlike. All her work is quite
convincing.
Miss Brockwell's makeup is quite re-
markable. One does not realize this at

that she is "as old as she looks" But
when she portrays the daughter, a
schoolgirl OF sixteen. then one realizes
that II is art and not nature which has
put the lines OF care in her face.
Carl Won Schiller is Richard Carver,
son Of Virginia gentleman who is a
stickler for family. Every one must
have family. he says. or at least u
family in retrospection, so when his
son falls in love with a young person
who has no ancestors he is quite
wrought up over 1t and demands a fam
lily tree before he will give his consent.
II happens that in the Boston Academy
hangs a picture called "A Madonna OF
the North" and this Eunice recognizes
as her mother. although she has been
taught 20 believe she is an orphan.
With this clew Richard sets out to
find the mother of his hancee. When
he discovers her in McNeil's dance hall
in Alaska he attempts 70 reform her,
not realizing that reform is ever a
thankless job. In barroom brawl
Richard is wounded and, finding Eu-
nices address in his notebook. some
one sends for her. She travels alone
to Alaska, and runs into all sorts OF
danger, from which she is finally ex-
tricated by her mother and her lover.
Richards father, too, had come in
search of him, and when he meets the
motner Of his future daughter-in-law
he recognizes in her the former sweet
heart of an old friend.
"My son cannot marry your daughter
she has no father" he cries, never
forgetting for a moment that crying

Eunice had a real father. Thus the
lovers are united, with the blessing of
their parents. and Mary and the wicked
Mcneil shoot each other, which was
as good way Of disposing Of them as

WOOLWORTH SAFE
GUARDED In HOME
Butler Arrested on Theft
Charge Detectives IN
vestigate Fire Mystery

Detectives from the William j. Burns
agency guarded $4,000 gold service
in an open safe in the home Of Frank
W. Woolworth, 900 Fifth Avenue, last
night. The safe had been found open
on Saturday morning, and it was i'm
possible to close it without getting an
expert from a safe company.
Joseph Dowden, who was employed
by Mr.. Woolworth two weeks ago as
second butler, was arrested on charge
of attempted grand larceny. Although,
according to Burns men, Dowden was
in the pantry, where the safe was found
open, the charge against him refers to
valise belonging to Mr.. Woolworth
containing jewelry valued at $500, be-
sides silk shirts and other articles.
The valise, 1t Is alleged, was found
behind the curtains in the second but
ler's room after Miss Frances Hill, Mr..
Woolworth's housekeeper, had dis
charged the man. He was dismissed, 1t
was said, because he had insisted that
he must have Saturday night of:
The fire which destroyed Mr.. Wool
worth's Glen Cove home on Friday IS
also being investigated by Burns de-
tectives. It is said that on Wednesday
Dowden discovered rug ablaze IN
maids room on an upper floor.
After the flames had been extin-
auished an electric curling iron. with
the current turned on, was found on
the charred rug. The maid, who was
Mrs. Woolworth's personal attendant,
asserted that the iron was not hers
and that she never used one.
Dowden. who is twenty-one years old,
was arrested at his home, $40 Third
Avenue. He denied knowledge OF the
open safe or the hidden valise. IL IS
said that when he got his position,
through Fifth Avenue agency, he had
references which seemed TO show that
he had been employed by several
wealthy families.
In the Glen Cove fire he lost property
which he valued at $50, and 1t is said
that Mr.. Woodwork reimbursed him.

A CORNER IN ANCESTORS
By FRANCES CowLEs. THE LYNCH FAMILY
By FRAN,

Copyright, 1916, by Mcclure Newspa-
 per Syndicate)
 The founder of the family of Lynches of Lynchburg, Va, was Charles Lynch, who came from the north of Ireland when he was a boy early in the eighteenth century to this country. Tradition has it that the lad was punished at school and became so incensed that he determined to leave home. Meeting with the cap tain of ship which was coming to America, the boy made arrangements to take passage. Once on board, he regretted his nasty decision and ac- tually plunged overheard, thinking he could swim back to England. But he was taken back on board by the sea men and successfully brought to this country.
 Charles Lynch settled in Jamesburg in Virginia just below the present site of Lynchburg. He married a Miss Clark of Virginia, member of a wealthy and influential family She and her sister had the distinction of poss essing as a part of their wedding portions a dozen silver spoons
 Charles Lynch and his wife had seven children. Two of them, John and Charles, of the second genera tion, are accredited with the distinc- tion of having been the persons for whom the famous Lynch law was named. Charles of the second genera tion, who seems most likely to be deserving of the distinction, was a colonel in a regiment of riflemen and behaved with notable gallantry in the

 Coningsby Dawson, the distinguished young English author of "The Garden Without Walls" has been quite wrought up over the question which has been gitating the high lights" for sometime past as to What attracts man in wom- an-beauty or brains?"
 The clever young writer, in discussing point, says among other things:
 Beauty perhays attracts men some- times; brains never. Only one quality is permanent, when it comes to holding a mans attention, and that is a woman s sense of humor, which is utterly differ- ent from anything else in mans experi- ence. As the little boy in Holland-the hero of The Leak in the Dyke, saved his country by pushing his little thumb into hole, in the big dyke, so many a woman with a sense of humor has saved mans affection, by pushing small joke into a big dilemma.
 Again he says: T was taught to be- lieve in the old castle system in England, where a woman is brought up to have the idea that she's going to be house. keeper who happens to be married to her employer.

Luminescent Illumination
the Washington Star.

From the Washington Star.
 There are several substances that be- ccme luminescent after long exposure to the rays of the sun, although none of them emits brilliant light It is be- lieved that this luminescence could be greatly increased if the problem were investigated with as much care as that given to the development of the incan. descent gas mantle. It has been sug. gested that if luminescent paint were spread on buildings exposed to brilliant sunshine they would give off stored sun light during the night, and thus preserve one element of the radiant energy of the sun. One authority remarks: 'The gen eral use of such a paint would enable the more powerful methods of artificia illumination to be limited to special loca- tions, and confine the use of existing sys- tems to indoor service and to spots where little daylight penetrates.

The man is educated to be wholly dependent on the woman and the woman to be wholly dependent on the man. That's the frame which contains the English matrimonial picture. Whether the picture shall be a Hogarth grotesque or Milet idyl depends on the man and woman.
 Part of this view is exemplified by Charlotte Bronte's idea that no woman should love her husband until she had been married six months. She held the happiest marriages came out of that cold blooded courtship. In spite of holding these views she was the first woman to express the feminist revolt in fiction, and she expressed it in Jane Eyre Despite the woman re volt as it spread in England, the large majority of girls are brought up to re- gard marriage as their sole road to any kind of freedom. In England a Womans profession is marriage. in America it's her relaxation. In all countries it's her means of livelihood.
