OF A WIFE
GARRISON

knew from the things he told me when he came back into my life after searching for me the world around.
 Thoughts That Terrify.
 He had always been a mysterious figure, Robert Gordon, '"The Quester" of Broadway, as he was dubbed for his eternal searching of faces, and never more so than when, after he had found me, he returned to South Am erica, where he had spent so many years. I knew that Allen Drake, who, Lillian said, was a member of the secret service, although in a capacity unknown to her, was searching for him. That the two men were at cross-purposes I suspected from the fact that Drake's attitude appeared ' to be hostile. Yet even now, secreted in the wrist watch upon my arm, was a note dubbed by my fathers mes- sage one of the highest importance, to be delivered to Drake in case of my fathers death, or upon receipt of a code cablegram from him.
 But his work, his sins, everything else was dwarfed for me by the reali- zation of his fate as imaged by the fearsome paper bfore me. With the remembrance of his parting kisses and his tears as vivid as if he had but just left me I felt that I could not endure the horror that had come to me.

NEW TRIUMPH FOR

Polished, As Ever, in "lbe Gay
 Lord Quex''

Som etifnes, even when a man wa n+a te, his associates will not let him ra- form. So 1t was that circumstances threw everything In the way of inc Marquis of Quex
 Under the caption The Gay Lord Quex,' the play dealing With tho aforementioned subject, opened in Hartford at Parsons theater last njeht with John Drew In the title role, and Margaret Ellington playing opposite him. It is a comedy in four acts from the pen of Sir Arthur Wing Pin ere who has given to the stage many substantial plays. In this vehicle he has admirably suited the demands or John Drew, Even the late Augus, tin Daily, MT. Drew's first manager, could not have picked a more fitting setting for his star. As a rogue, bent on reforming and then winning the mana or young and beautiful girl, MT, Drew is at his best Miss Illington, whose style of acting has undergone quite @ change since her memorable triumph some decade ago, contributes as much as MT. Drew to the success of a very remarkable performance. As the self-appointed protector of the girl who is to marry the gay lord and as the one who consequently is respon- sible for causing all the trouble in an intricate romance Miss Ellington is forced to rise to dramatic heights She does this with all the fire of her his- trionic ability, an art that is distinctly associated with her past endeavors
 Supporting MT. Drew and Miss H. lington is a cast of more than mean ability, including the daughter of the co-star, LouiSe Drew. George Paunce- fort, as the companion of Lord Quex, is exceedingly good, as is Miss Irby Marshall who portrays the siren, the Duchess of Strood. The scenes of the play are laid in London, the action taking place within the space of twen- ty-four hours.

JAP OFFERS NEW
 PLOT AT LYCEUM

Hitting the comedy curves on two wheels and roaring down the stretch on high, giving everything he had, Sessue Hayakawa, the greatest Japa- nese actor in the world, swung across the finish line last evening in 8 burst of dramatic glory at the Ly- ceum tn eater and incidentally chalked up another great victory to his long list of successes. This time his vehi- cle was one of the funniest pictures that has ever been seen in the city, 'Hashimura Togo" which was re- leased through the Lasky company with the assistance of Wallace Irwin author of the famous Letters of & Schoolboy." The story is based on those letters to some degree, with the film version being altered somewhat to give the best possible results.
 First be it understood that Hashi- mura Togo is not G food, nor a drink so do not order one the next time the boys get together. Rather, he is young Japanese, and a 'Spretty smart smellow' too, if he has to say so himself. His one big hope IS ' to some day be able to speak that wonderful American language as it should be spoken, and to grasp the II, George Washington. This latter am- bition will never be realized on this earth but nevertheless the droll, un- consciously humorous native of the land of cherry blossoms nurses the ambition and hoped some day that it would be fulfilled.
 Life is just one whirl after another for this Jap, but he ballzs when his father, not knowing that he was in- nocent of the charge that caused him to leave Japan, suggests that he com- init suicide to save his honor. Honor are noble," was the way he figured it out, but it are also inconvenient'' Therefore there is no suicide and 4ashimura sticks around long enough to see wrongs made right. The pie ture from the start to end is different than most stories, because it presents an rstWhile dramatic star in a lighter vehicle than is his wont. Then there are the scenic effects and scores of other reasons for making it better than, usual The picture will be seen today and tomorrow. Several other pictures will also be shown.

Although all of us think that we have some slight idea of what was going on in Berlin at tho time the war was declared, this picture shows that our knowledge was of the most limited sort, and that we had no real insight into the intrigues, diff ticulties and tragedies that were be- ing enacted there.

SIDE TALKS
Sloppy Statements
BY nUTH CAMERON

I do hate careless over-Statements-
 They are such stumbling block to anyone who wants to find out the truth about anything.
 People repeat them, making them perhaps a little more careless and in accurate than they were in the first place, and they go about the world spreading their message of misinfor- mation right and left.
 Why talk at all if one is not going to think first?
 That is the sort of thing I mean.
 A woman who keeps a boarding house told me that she had not made q cent all winter.
 I Felt Most Sympathetic.
 ] was really appalled, by that. To think of all it must have cost her to feed and clothe herself and her two children, I thought, and if she isn't making cent she must have to draw on her reserve fund. How terrible!
 Later I heard another woman make the same statement. As it happened, she went on to amplify it.
 1T haven't been able to put a cent in the bank this year." she said.
 This gave me an inkling of the truth
 You mean you paid all your run- ming expenses ?"
 "Oh, yes,'' she said, "and I have a small balance in my checking ac- count, but that's all."
 How Many Men Make No More!
 Tn her case that meant that she had fed clothed and lodged an in valid husband herself and a child, also given the child expensive music lessons; in fact, paid all the expenses of family of three out of her prof it's. Think how many heads of fam flies there are who do no more than that. When she said she hadn't made anything, she meant anything but the living for herself and family. And that doubtless was what the other woman meant.
 We had eaten a dainty meal at a tea room one day and paid according ly. Going home, two of the crowd were reckoning what they could have gotten that meal up for, hence the
