"Our Mary" Garden--sphinx of the lyric

why ragtme has such a big and continued
vogue in the United States. Miss Garden

that is why the press agent wakes so fervid
about Miss Garden and her solution of the
unexplainable," as he puts it. incidentally.
"Our Mary" will soon sail from Paris to
begin work on her first movie, "Thais," in
this country.
Hearlien to her: People in America like
ragtime for the same reason that Phila-
delphians, contrary to untrue tradition, are
always in a hurry. 1t is a matter of ac-
tion. In this, America believes in getting
there first. Ragtime isn't necessarily bad.
Some of Il has been particularly good

SOME FILMY COSTUMES
Civil War Modes of "The Crisis" Dis
closed Actually to the Eye by
Cast in Prelude

II is a coincidence that the Identical
costumes of the principal characters in the
screen version of Winston Churchills Civil
War play, THE Crisis" current at the
Garrick, are also worn by the eight MEM
bers of the company appearing in the stage
spectacle and who represent the eight prin-
cipal characters shown on the screen.
When Colin Campbell. who superintendent
the direction Of THE Crisis" cast about for
a costuming concern to furnish the ward
robe for this cinema spectacle, he met
with disappointment in every city except
Philadelphia, local firm being the only
concern in the country which bid for the
contract. SO, when il was decided TO
produce THE Crisis" here with the stage
spectacle employing living persons to rep
resent those on the screen, the Identical
costumes used in the filming Of the picture
we're secured.
Kathryn Martin, the Virginia Carvel of
the stage spectacle, wears the costume of

Serving life sentence in the Arizona
State prison, yet earning 100000 a year
such IS the story of Louis Victor Eytnge,
perhaps one of the best-known 'lifers" in
the United States.
Eytinge, with long line of forgeries
behind him, is imprisoned for murder, hav-
ing been convicted on circumstantial evil
dence. He was convicted in Phoenix in
1907, and it was believed he had but a
short time to live, as he was suffering from
tuberculosis. The coarse prison fare did not
agree with him and he found that he had
to have delicacies or die. He was saved
by money-money that he made himself
while in the prison hospital
He became the advertising writer of the
prisoners, and through his wonderful abil-
ity to write convincing and pulling letters
built up a business for the sale of trinkets,
etc, made by his comrades.
His business letters were of such con-
ciseness and power that they attracted the
attention OF business men outside of the
prison. Eytinge began writing copy" for
mail-order houses. and in fewer than six
years has built up a business for himself
which nets him about $4,000 a year He
is the editor of Postage, a magazine of
business which is eagerly sought by manu-
facturers having products to sell through
mail orders.
Eytinges redemption Is credited to the
election of Governor George w. p. Hunt,
Arizona's first chief executive, who, after
MS inauguration in 1912, completely changed
the policy Of the State prison. Governor
HUNT was humane man. with advanced
views on penology and scruping not at all

Inc most important reform to Eytinge
was the removal of all restrictions on letter.

hlmself, until today he is regarded as one
OF the greatest experts on advertising in
the United States.

NOT RESPONSIBLE
FOR ACTIONS
Continued from First Page)

Mrs. DeSaulles maid, who accom-
panied Mrs. De Saulles the night OF
the shooting, Prosecutor Weeks de-
clared, as compared with the former
disposition.
When the trial is resumed Friday,
Henry Uterhart, Mrs. De Saulles at
torney, is expected to submit to alien
lists examined today a lengthy n.y.
pothetical question, the answers to
which it is believed, will further
strengthen the claim regarding Mrs.
De Saulles mental condition.
DIR. r. ]. Sherman Wight, Mrs. De-
Saulles' physician since the tragedy,
testified that the patients condition
following the shooting indicated that
she was suffering from an enfeebled
functioning of the thyroid gland
from an inadequacy of the secretions
Of this gland. This brings about in
activity of the vital processes, DR..
Wight testified.
Mrs. De Saulles' attorneys claim
the condition outlined by the phys
ician produces a brain and nerve CEN
ter condition which eventually ends
in "a mental infirmity." This the de-
PENDANTS lawyer terms hypothyreo-
sis This name, however, was not
used by DR.. Wight.
AT the previous questioning, Miss
Monteau said Mrs. De Saulles shot
three times, "and De Saulles did not
move" whereupon she fired twice
more. Another part of the deposition
quoted the maid as saying "Mrs. De-
Saulles put her right hand into her
left hand pocket, taking out the re-
volver and pointing it slowly in her
former husbands direction.
Didn't Mrs. De Saulles say just
after the shooting, I'm glad l did it;
l hope he dies?'" asked Weeks.
THAT is not So" snapped the wit
ness.
Miss Monteau's entire deposition
was then read by Attorney Uterhart,
following which DR.. j. Sherman
Wight, who Mrs. De Saulles has testi-
fed was the first person she remem-
bers having seen when she recovered
her senses in the Jail following the
shooting, took the stand.
In reference to an examination OF
Mrs. De Saulles three days after the
tragedy, DR.. Wight said:
L found her lying in bed. She
looked pale-it was a peculiar, waxy
pallor. There was a puffy condition
under the eyes. The whites of the
eyes had blush cast. / asked he1
questions, but her words were vague
and confused"

REVIEW
"The Woman God Forgot"

Geraldine Farrar's presentation of
'sThe Woman God Forgot" showing
at the Isis yesterday and today, dis
plays at once the consummate art of
motion pictures, and the squandering
of the same artistry. It is to be re-
GREETED that so much time, money,
energy, and above all art, should be
spent in the perturbation of SUBJ
ject hardly worth filming.
Not that the photoplay is not in
teresting-it is, every moment of it
blu it is not interesting enough to
warrant so vast an expenditure evil
dent in the subject of this review. AS
an historical episode, in one of the
most romantic, and tragic chapters
Of history, it is superb, and worthy
the painstaking care revealed in
every detail. Farrar's perturbation of
"the last of the Aztecs" is all that
could be desired, and the support is
good throughout.
With good acting, good production,
good music, the reviewer could not
register disappointment and be con-
sistent, but in admitting It's beauty,
one cannot but wonder why the same
beauy Is not put to better use.

by an excellent orchestra under the
