James Clarence Mangan.

One of the most gifted poets, and
at the same time not generally or pop
ularly known, was James Mangan,
whose profound knowledge Of the Ian
guages, as well as his gift of poetic
expression, can not help but impress
even the most casual reader with this
eccentric genius power and versatile
fly. He was an untiring worker, and
all of his powers were kept constantly
in play on account of his need of mon
ey to maintain not only his own i'm
mediate family, but to support an In
digcnt father and mother. His over
burdened mentality led him to resort
to StimuantS when his spirit was
broken from OyorcX"rtion. and after
life of many vicissitudts he died in
a hospital June 20, 1SI9-Some say
from cholera, others, from starvation.

NEW GRIFFITH FILM
CINEMA MASTERPIECE
Broken Blossoms" Impressive in
Pictorial and Poetical Quality,
Presented at the Garrick

The loudcst critic of the tragedy" in the
movies will succumb to the inspiration pre-
scented by Broken blossoms d. w.
Griffth's latest picture. which was pre-
scented at the Garrick last night.
For, back of the tragedy which the pro
duccr has dared to present. is an ideal which
grips the heart and inspires. even if only
temporarily. the inclination toward better
morals and cleaner living conditions.
Adapted from Thomas Burk's "Chnk and
the Child the play is woven around the
ideals of Chinaman who loves the name
less child of brutal prize fighter. The
child has known nothing but her fathers
brutal strength and when the clean love and
kindness of the Oriental have given the little
waif her first joy in the world the father
clubs her to- death and dies himself afterwards
from the revolver of the Oriental. himself
a suicide beside the child's body.
No more striking is the contrast of daily
life than the scenes which show the Oriental
leaving his native home to save the Anglo
Saxon" with love and Kindness and his sub
scquent meeting with the missionaries who
are leaving their land to save the heather. "
when right in that land is enough missionary
work to keep them engaged.
The tragic force of the play is frightful
but it is softened by the very beauty of it's
ideal. 1t deals with facts so presented that
the audience is hushed with the sense of the
real. The actors seem not mimics, but
themselves the subject of the tragedy. The
hideousness of brute force the cringing
hunger for happiness. the terror of fear. the
hatred of races. the pure love of the heart
the happiness of serving-thcsc are but
few of the emotions brought out. The CLOSE
ups are wonderful human studies.
Lillian Gish took the part of the girl and
Richard Barthelmes the Chinaman. Bat
tling Burrows, the brutal father. was ex-
cellently portrayed by Donald Crisp
The treatre was permcated with an
Oriental atmosphere. Plum blossoms are
arranged along lattice work. Chinese incense
burns and the ushers wear Chinese costumes.
Chinese orchestra created quite an i'm
preston during the prologue. when the
"Chink' is shown knccng beside the bier of
the girl while the stringcd instruments, flute
and gongs toled the passing of soul. in the
Chinese custom, on darkened stage.

THE Country Boy" which was revived
at the Orpheum for the weeks bill This
comedy. by Edgar Selwyn. WAS highly popu

a long run at the Walnut.
The contrasts between the hustle and
pleasures of city life and the quictncss of
daily affairs and more decorous but equally
pleasant cnjoyments of rural existence con :
tain abundance~of sentiment and comedy,
both of which were well realized by the Mae
Desmond Players. All the fa;orites were
congcnially cast. The audience got plenty
of laughs during the evening and at the end
carried home a moral, though one that was
never obtruded in the lines, situations or
