of history recalled today that this was the
seventy fifth anniversary of the beginning
of that exciting contest for the state gov

uprising which was put down with force.
(. The story OF DORIS rebellion goes back
TO the date of the Rhode Island charter.
Dorr opposed the old charter because il
allowed only limited suffrage. Rhode
Island retained it, charter. after the De

who were freeholders OF an estate valued

four representatives, while Newport. with
little more than 5000 inhabitants, had six
representatives.
For some years very earnest efforts at
reform had been made, but the legi>latu
refused relief. The leader of the suffrage
reform movement was Thomas ". Dorr, q
man OF property, capacity, education and
social position. lie was the son of 4 rich
manufacturer, had been educated at EIar-
ward, and studied law in New York. and
was a practicing attorney in Providence.

On the Screen
The Girl at Home" and
The Auction of Virtue"
Are Shown

The Girl al Home" is a charming picture.
with Vivian Martin and Jack Pickford in the
leading roles.
Young Pickford is pleasing as Jimmie
Deter. a college student. who speedily falls
in love with the college widow, but those
who have witnessed his splendid character
work as Pip in Great Expectations and in
The Dummy" would wish that he had more
OF the same sort of thing TO DO.
Miss Martin is quite satisfactory as Jean
Hilton The part has few requirements aside
from the fact that the heroine must look
beautiful. and surely no actress on the. screen
could do this quite so successfully as Miss
Martin
She is "the girl At home" who loves
Jimmie Dexter so well that she insists on
paying his expenses at college after his
mothers fortune has been depleted
Jimmie spends his money, supremely un-
conscious that it ia being supplied by Jean.
He finally becomes victim Of the college
widow. Diana Parish. and when she goes to
him for money he ready agrees TO make a
loan a. she calls It.
In some manner which is never made clear
Diana raises check for S25 TO $3.50. and
Jimme's account is overdrawn. In the de-
nouement he learns that Il is Jeans money
he has been squandering. and in mt OF re-
morse he rushes away, vowing that he viii
earn his own living.
Nothing so drastic happens, however, and
Jimmie finally is induced TO return home. A
most fascinating white bulldog figures con-
spicuously in the picture.
Naomi Childers appeared yesterday in her
first Art Drama picture. THE Auction Of
Virtue Miss Childer3 was excellent as
Phyllis, the model, who started life with the
idea that she must exchange her beauty for
a life Of luxury, but that she must avoid all
love which was not circled by a wedding
ring.
Her first offer came from Jules Laiglon. IN
whose shop she acted model. Jules was
fat and ugly. but when he pictured the riches
which would be hers she coyly sighed. And
when shall we be married p Jules was
aghast. why" he exclaimed. 'our soca
positions are so different Though WHY
should there be such difference in the socia
position OF the man who designs a gown and
the girl who wears il?
All sorts of weird people wandered through
the picture poverty stricken artists, with
flowing ties millionaire art connoisseurs. who
draped their upright pianos with scrn
draperies trimmed with tasses, and artists
models. who lived in Washington Square
North and kept maids.
When Phyllis playfuly offers herself on
the auction block to raise money for Jerry, a
young artist who has become blind through
overwork, he rushes in and cries. Il offer
love and marriage. which is something that
none of the others have offered T. And
Phyllis is so impressed with the magnanimity
Of his offer that she accepts him in spite OF
his poverty.
