ADMINISTRATIVE BRADY.

Alice Brady will be seen today in
her newest Select Picture entitled
Woman and Wife" This is an adap-
tation from Charlotte Bronte's famous
novel, Jane Eyre" The story is
along original lines and has some Of
the most intensely dramatic situa-
tions that could be devised Alice
Brady does a most wonderful bit OF
character impersonation, and the
members of the supporting cast are
entitled to special mention for the
convincing work which they do in
this production. The performance OF
Lenora Morgan as the demented wife
is almost unpleasantly convincing.
One is extremely glad, after seeing
her, that it is only a picture, after all
The story follows the plot in the book
quite closely and shows Jane after
her relatives have sent her off to a
charity school making a place for
herself in the world She begins by
going out as governess in the home
of the wealthy Widower, Edward
Rochester. There he falls in love with
Jane and, after considerable persuas-
ion. she consents to marry him. Then
Rochester's former. demented wife
appears on the scene and right here
trouble starts. There is an almost
murder, a suicide and trouble for
everyone concerned. Then il all comes
out in a most pleasing manner and
makes a picture that is thoroughly
enjoyable. One that is worth going
far to see. It will be shown for the
first time today.-Adv.

Of GOOD HUN0R
New Company at Crawford
Is a Distinct Success in

First rate acting, funny situations,
bright lines and four acts full Of
laughs summarize Jerry" a weeks
run Of which opened at the Crawford
theater Sunday. It is the first play in
the engagement Of Miss Emma Bunt-

the standard. the new company's sue
cess here is assured.
Some OF those who saw the first
performances Of Jerry had also seen
Max Figman's Nothing But the Truth"
last week at the Texas Grand and ex-
pressed the opinion that Jerry was
even funnier and even better played
than Figman's show. Everyone who
saw Figman and his company know
that is saying a very great deal
Miss Bunting takes the title role Of
Jerry" a young girl so full OF spirits
and pranks as to be the despair Of
her family. How she set out to cap

butler, who carries out with Jerry
many Of her best scenes; George
Whitaker as Montague Wades Albert
Vrees as Peter Flagg, an American

fine Interpretation Of a somewhat diff
ffcult role, Miss Lillian Beneke as
Joan, "Jerry's" aunt, and Miss Marie

The costuming is excellent and the
scenic effects extremely good, espe-

those who have not seen it, 1t would
not do to mention them here. The
only way to appreciate Jerry" is to

to the Ingots of this city by q 4 to 2
score, living showed class as a hurler.
He allowed the visitors but five hits
and famed four.
The result of the game decided the

the five games played. There is still
one more game to be played of the
original schedule but the condition OF

Their hostilities.
Despite the absence of most of their
stars, including the battery, the Camp
players put up a game battle. Play
ing on their home grounds, they died
hard. The battle was cut short In the
seventh frame, due to the late start
and the advancing darkness.
Camp Morgan got the jump in the
scoring in the first frame when they
punched hits for a run. But the In

The refusal Of Miss Fanny Durack,
Australian premier woman swimming
star, to compete against American
mermaids, coupled with recent per-
formances of Miss Claire Galligan of
New Rochelle, N. Y, has caused
Miss Durack found after coming to
America that holding her laurels
would not be so easy against the
crack of American women natators.
Miss Durack, who holds world rec
ords for most water events from 100
yards to a mile, voiced her refusal
to enter into competition in America
when challenged by Miss Olga Dorr-
ner Of Philadelphia.
Miss Dorfner is undoubtedly Amer
ica's greatest water Splinter. Since
that time Miss Galligan has lowered
her own American record for the mile
swim and in so doing cut down her
time at all distances from 220 yards
to the mile.
Miss Durack came to America a
few months ago after extensively adj
vertised. 1t was expected that she
would tour the country and meet the
best of American mermaids in water
which were to have been
given as benefits for war charities.
Fastest Swimmer.
At the time of her arrival it was
not supposed that American mer-
maids would be able to rob her of
many of her laurels, as Miss Durack
has been considered the greatest of
women swimmers since her remarka-
Bile performances in the Stockholm
Olympic games six years ago. TheJ
fact that her Olympic records still
stand as the fastest in that field of
athletic endeavor proves unquestion-
ably that in her Olympic form Miss
Durack was faster than many of
