Hasty War Marriages Gen.
orally Turn Out Poorly.
Says DR.. Gordon.

"Hssty war marriages as a rule
turn out poorly" said Rev. james
L. Gordon pastor OF the First Con-
Eregstional Church. in his sermon
last night.
"of course. there are exceptions te
every rule" continued the pastor
but any marriage contracted in
hurry before either the man or the
woman has had time to think over
the matter seriously. is indeed Q
dangerous undertaking"
Marriage 10 too holy q state. Of
be so lightly considered There 4,
no time In the life of q young mar
or q young woman that makes more
for success or failure than the time
when they stand before the altar &c
be made one.
The hasty marriages that are
successful" said the pastor. "are the
ones where the tempersments Of
both the man and the woman hap
pened to At in and not clash: they
are marriages where there were No
deep-rooted religious differences;
they are marriages where both par.
ties were fitted mentally and physi-
cslly to enter the married state.
Temperament is the most import
ant thing 70 be considered in mar
riage. whether the ceremony 90 &c
be performed hastily or not. Many
difhculties can be swept away. but
two clashing tempersments are i'm
possible
The woman IL usually the great
est sufferer by hasty marriages. She
does not have time to investigate
the character OF the man who seeks
TO be the father Of her children She
does not have time TO see IL he Is q
gambler, a drug hend or q biga-
mist, or a scorner OF purity. or has
profound religious differences which
make q happy married life out OF
the question"

CrandaIrs MetropoIitan-"Her Code
of Honor"

The same grace. the same charm of
personality and the same resourceful-
ness in the art of mining that
brought Florence Reed uneduivocal
success in the leading roles OF 1.-The
Wanderer." 'Chu Chin Chow" and
Roads OF Destiny yesterday reas-
serted themselves upon the screen at
Chandalrs Metropolitan Theater,
where for the first four days of the
current week the feature OF the elab-
crate photoplay bill is Her Code OF
Honor" in which Miss Reed offers a
splendid dual impersonation.
Her Code of Honor" is a tense film
drama based up an idea that has not
been worn threadbare by constant use
in scenarios. The early scenes of the
play are laid in the Latin Quarter OF
Paris, where Helen, a struggling
young artist, bestows her affections
unwisely upon a fellow craftsman
who already is the mainstay of a
household in which Is a charming
young son.
Realization of her position comes to
Helen upon her deathbed and her only
bequest to her little daughter is a
letter and a ring. both to be given
to the child upon her reaching an age
contemplative Of matrimony.
After twenty years the trust is kept
and Alice. the daughter, discovers
the mate of the mysterious ring upon
the finger Of her betrothed-the son Of
her own father. From this situation
is built a climax that Is as novel as
1t is powerful In dramatic effect.
Miss Reed is cast in both the roles
Of Helen and Alice and to each brings
the full flower of her matured art.
The two leading male roles are in
terpreted with fine discretion and ex-
lceptional exposition OF character by
William Desmond and Irving Cum

Mr.. Eltinge Is obliged to share hon.

stage presumably while he is dress

fair to look upon, but also dances

ton Of "Springtime Enchantment,'
Marjory Carville in the "Danse Al

meet all tastes and was well received.
The Eddy Duo are skilled tight-rope
artists; Cleo Gascoigne responded tc
several encores of her vocal numbers,
and Leo Beers lived up to his billing
as distinctive entertainer" his pi.

This catalogue would seem sufficient
to constitute full evenings entertain

Rialto-Mary Pickford in Daddy
Long-Legs."

, Humor. with tears that tread upon
the keynote of Daddy Long-L Legs"
the screen version OF the famous story
and play by Jean Webster. in which
the zone and only" Mary Pickford Is
starred. at Moore's Rialto Theater
this week.
Incidentally, it is stated. this is the
first OF the productions to be made
by her own company. and II the con-
sensus' of opinion, as expressed by
capacity audience yesterday. is to
be taken a an example. Miss Pickford
has given herself hard task in main
tanning the standard set. Acting.

duction Is fiawless.
Miss Pickford, as Judy Abbott" {"
easily has the best role of her career
The picture is full OF masterful bits"
which the star accepts to full advan-
tage.
The early part of the show is espe-
cially rcplete with winning sit
uations of many sorts: for instance.
the scene in which Judy takes too
much hard cider. The funny little
drunk" is not indulged in with
malice aforethought, but just happens
as II would to any innocent child
who hungry. famished almost, from
the constant diet of thin soup and
prunes. as served in an orphan asy-
lum, suddenly stumbles on large
package of sandwiches and a jug OF
cider, it is a scene which Miss Pick
ford alone could carry and bring home
TO the hearts OF her audience.
Again, how the pathetic little ones
carry on when the hypocritical ma
tron is trying to make them show OFF
for the trustees of the institution.
The story is not all child's play.
however a most effective comparison
being carried throughout in the rear
| ing of the orphan asylum girl and
Angelica Wyckoff. a spoiled rich child
and their ultimate success in life and
Hove.
1t is a picture which not only will
tug at the heart strings of every
parent. but will make the children
and the childless elder laugh. In
brief. it is Mary Pickford to the life
and therefore the appeal is universal.

well and others form an exceptional
supporting cast. Marshall Neilan,
who directed the picture in its ex-

master of the artistic. ~
The bill is supplemented by the pic

day. an excellent comedy and an Or

Mr.. Breeskin, which is a delight in
itself.

Garrlck-.Love Laughs.

A bright, clean and clever new
farce-comedy, delightfully."- acted, had
one of its first few performances at
the Garrick Theater last night, stir
ring a good-sized audience to spon-
taneous enthusiasm. Love Laughs"
is not particularly remarkable as n
piece of dramaturgy. the author.
George d. Parker. manifesting a
cheerful disregard OF the welI-known
rules OF the experts. But he assured
ly succeeds in entertaining. Long ex-
planatory dialogues seem to offer no
obstacle to the smooth progress of his
play. because the audience is inter-
ested and listens contentedly A GER
tain lack of unity in plot development
is equally negligible as a defect, so
far as popular approval is concerned.
Mr. Parker's play will hit the pub
lie fancy because 1t tells an ingenious,
plausible story. deriving its fun from
novel situations and following pleas
ant, approved lines of sentiment, in
which love laughs at circumstance
and cynicism, as we'll as the proven
bial locksmiths.
Jessie Glendinning's innumerable
Washington friends, who came to
know her well In the heyday of
local stock companies, will be de-
lighted to welcome her at the head
of cast in which she plays a part
that brings out admirably her dainty
prettiness and charm, as we'll as
her excellence as a comedienne.
Miss Glendinning is seen as Helen
Moore, who comes to the home of
DIR. John Norton in New York seek
ing an. engagement as a nurse. On
the steamer coming from London
she had made the acquaintance of
Montgomery Kent. DIR. Nortons best
friend. Kent. convinced that she is
the one girl for him. applies to his
friend the doctor for a nice easy
sickness. so that Helen may be his
nurse. and he may thus prove his
doctrine that "propinquity" will
turn her affections in his direction.
The doctor SCOTS at women and
matrimony. and especially at Kent's
absurd ideas, but after an interview
with Helen he consents to the plan
just to prove it won't work. After
the allotted ten days the starved but
convalescent lovers fancy has turn
ed to the doctors beautiful ward. a
devotee of mental healing. while the
nurse, and the cynical doctor find
propihquity has taken effect in an
unexpected angle.
Here is material enough for a
single comedy, 1T might seem, but
to carry suspense through another
act a detective from London is in
troduced. seeking certain jewels
which Helen mysteriously cherishes.
He conspires with the butler to OBJ
tain them. and their midnight ef-
fort. together with the elopement OF
the rebellious patient and the doc
tors ward. provide a proper mixture
of comedy and thrills before the
final curtain.
The company is capable and well
chosen. Lionel Adams in the all-im
portant role of the doctor is entirely
adequate and satisfying, giving dig
nifty as well as humor to the charac-
ter Harold Hendee Is amusing and
plausible in the more farcical part Of
Montgomery Kent. Harold Kent con-
tributes a particularly clever bit as
the English detective. Miss Katherine
Alexander is a clever as well as a
beautiful Beverly. the "flapper'' fad

Charles Greene and Beatrice Yorke
are all good N minor parts.
