foremost dramatists. and which was
one OF the most successful stage
plays OF its time, having created a
Verltable iurore.
Il Is a striking realistic" problem
play and gives thrill after thrill by
its tense dramatic moments and its
remarkably clever drawing. Margaret
Anglln created the role Of Mrs. Dane
IN America, and achieved a memo
rable success. The play is one
announcing in situations that are
poignant in their intensity. and the
character Of Mrs. Dane is one that
suits Pauline FTederick's dramatic
technique to a marked degree. From
the roles OF the loyal little wife in
Double Crossed" and the heroine of
The Hungry Heart" longing for a
place in the life Of her husband, the
transition to the part of Mrs. Dane is
no slight one, but with her remark
able versatility and her ability to
conceive a character rapidly and ac-
eurately, Miss Frederick is said to
have brought to the screen interpre-
tAtion Of the role degree OF artistry
seldom equaled and never eXcelled.

Miss Frederick herself beinf Of more
than usual splendor. The ball gown

entire collection. and Miss Frederick
said that she tried on no less than a

BRUGES HAPPY WHEN
CITY IS LIBERATED
American Woman Cries Out For Joy When Told Of Tri-
umph of Yankees in France; Bridges All Gone;
Fined Enormously by Germans

London, Oct. 21,-Scenes of hap
piness at Bruges eclipsed those at
Lille following the liberation of the
two cities, according to the CORE
spondent of the Daily Mail. During
the occupation of Bruges by the
Germans the people there were not
allowed to receive news from the
outside world or from their friends
inside the German lines unless the
news was handled by the German
officers. The correspondent writes:
when the only American woman
left in 'Bruges was told of the deeds
of the Americans in France she
cried with happiness: 'Oh, if L had
only known that
Bruges was fined enormous sums
on various occasions, the correspond
ent says, and everything made of
metal was taken away. The city was
searched four times for copper. The
works at Bruges were robbed of
every scrap of machinery. The Ger
mans paid for nothing except food
and drink and then only in paper
money.
The town itself is intact and seems
to be as restful as in the old days ex-
cept that all the bridges are gone.
German mines completed the work
