after years run in New York. and.
and frolics. and dts pretty girls, re-
ceived the heartiest Of welcomes.
The only drawback last night was
the fact that Miss Grace Walsh. the
winsome Rainbow Girl, was suffer-
ing from a cold and had to skip
ever. In addition to having a charm
ing voice, is a clever and attractive
actress, and she has large share

"Alimony Blues" was a decided hit.
Harry Deli and Leonora Novasie, in

Mother and the Law"
Based on the modern episode in Mr..

little mothers fight against exist
ing social conditions, to save her hus-
hand from paying the extreme penalty
for a crime he did not commit. The
husband is taken to prison. the little

her by so-called "uplifters," and the
young husband and father is on the
verge of the scaffold when. after a
thrilling race between an automobile
and a fast moving express train, his
life is saved through the interven-
ton of the governor.
AS is usual in all Griffith produc-
tions, cast of exceptional screen
stars depict the various roles, among
them being Mae Marsh. Robert Har-
ron, Miriam Cooper. Ralph Lewis.
Walter Long and numerous others of
similar caliber and ability.
In every sense masterpiece. the
photodrama is further enhanced by a
special musical score arranged by Mr..
Griffith for the proper Interpretation
of the story and rendered by the Gar
denis augmented orchestra under the
direction of Mr.. Claude V. Burrows,
in manner worthy of special men,

a young Chinese disciple of Confucius
who has come to London to evaneel-
ize its people, and failed, and a pitiful
child woman of the East End slums.
Her father. a prize fighter of bulldog
ferocity, has bruised and battered the
girl until, in her flight of terror, she
unknowingly seeks shelter and falls
insensible in the little shop owned by
the young Chinese. He has Worship
ed her in secret as his dream prin-
cess of purity and love. and in her
helplessness cares for her with ten
derest aloofness. In oriental f1nery,
with a doll in her arms and the music
of the first kind words she has ever
heard, the girl is wonderingly happy.
But a spy has revealed her hiding
place, and the father carries her
home and beats her to death. In
swift revenge the gentle son of Budd-
ha kills the brute who has slain his
happiness; takes his dream princess
back to a bier of blossoms, incense
and prayer; folds the doll in her
