The Hard
Road to
Fame
Whether a Book Is
Taken" or Left" Still
Depends Upon Exter-
mails.
AMES MILNE, writing in "The

AMES MILNE, writing III me
Graphic" London, remarks that it
is curious how many people read
novels and how few know much about
them, whence they came and what lay
behind them; for" he says, ''every book,
no matter how small, has history"
And he continues
Now, if you were to put the question,
What novclists have arrived recently?'
you would scarcely get it answered even by
a dinner party in the West End. There
would be talk on What We Have Been
Reading and then you would gradually per-
eeive who had arrived their names would
work out, it BY arrivals are
meant men women novelists, who have
just crossed that rubcon, delicate but defi-
circulation from, shall it be said, equally
good work and big circulation. Perhaps
the best novel that Katherine Cecil Thurston
ssrote was The Circle; certainly you can
read it more than once. But it was John
sChilcote, NJ. P.,' her remarkable story of
double that brought her fame.
"How many novels had that delightful
writer, w. J. Locke, given us before he
bumped into the hearts Of the dear English
public with The Morals of Marcus Or
deyne'? who is this new novelist? p they
asked in Mayfair and Begravia, on the
heights of Hampstead and the plains of
Clapham. Isn't he a discovery, something
quite fresh and original in him, almost
touch of the French, you know, in his deli
4. cate air?' That delicate air was Mr. Lockes
all through the ten years he wrote fiction
: and waited for Rachel to read him. Simply
it wasn't known to the Englishman who
sends out his office-boy for a strapful of the
newest novels at Smiths Similarly it was
not known to the English matron who, at
Mudie's-note this-wll first examine a
-. story with a red binding, then one with
. blue binding and thirdly one with green
binding. Color and the eye!
"After that comes search for the happy
: ending supreme thing in the boom of
best seller 1t is the natural instinct of the
nice English girl, when she is choosing a
novel at the library, to make sure of the
ultimate welfare of the hero and the heroine.
With her sweetheart out in the trenches,
amid nameless dangers, she would, bless her,
make doubly sure. So, if you kept gentle
EYE on her, OH just fatherly eye in liter
ary sense, you would see her first glance
at the title-pa demanding its human pros

especially if yours is Budd or something as
abrupt but there is a vast deal in novel

it be promising, with hint of possibilities,
there is quick turning to the last page
and the ending, which is the definite article
of Taken or Left
"Such is the broad highway to enthrone-

MICHAEL ]. MULKERN
PETITIONS FOR PARDON

A petition for the pardon Of Michael
J. Mulkern, otherwise known as
Michael J. Mulkerrin, formerly #
Portland, who is serving a life SEN
tence in the States prison at Thorn
aston for murder was received at the
Executive department Monday. A
hearing on the petition will be as
signed at the session Of the Governor
and Council Wednesday. Mulkern
was committed to prison Jan. 30, 1915.
The petitioner denies. as he always
has denied, any element Of malice
aforethought in the homicide Of which
he was convicted: that the homicide
was committed while he was young
and under stress of circumstances
which if not legally sufficient to war
rant his act as self defence, momen-
tarily blinded him to the full appre-
citation of the extent Of his wrong;
that the petitioner has constantly re-
GREETED the act Of which he was con-
victed and atoned therefore; that he
has fully reformed and further incar-
ceration would serve no useful pur-
pose; and that he has arrived at the
age of maturity but is not yet too old
to begin life again and promises to
become a respectable citizen of the
community.

ADJUSTMENTS
CAST OFF GIRL
WHO NURSED HIM.
DURING BLINDNESS

UnSelfiSh devotion to Gerald HaW-
thOrne by Nellie Melrose when he
was blind was rewarded with con-
tempt and then by complete dis
avowal. And then came the awaken
ing, an awakening that was physi-
cal as well as mental and moral, and
with this awakening came happiness
for both the man and the woman.
Such is the outcome Of THE Great
Awakening. the fascinating comedy
drama that the Luttringer Stock Co.
offered for the first time at the Au-
gusta Opera house yesterday. it is
said the play has never before been
given east of Chicago. 1t certainly
deserves to be presented everywhere
for 1.-The Great Awakening" is a play
that not only entertains, but it salts
fies with it's cleanness, with it's I'M
guessed denoument and it's striking
situations. The comedy. too. is deli
cious, for there is much of it and
it is Of the holding the-mirror-up-to
nature kind.
In brief, the play tells Of Gerald
Hawthorne, rich Fastener who
has gone West to prospect. There
he meets and is attracted to Nellie
Bliss. the pianist in a gambling hail
run by truly honest gambler. Cool
Hawkins. Because of the Jealousy
Of another girl at the resort, Nellie is
made to appear in the light of the
mistress Of Jim Clancy. presumably
a miner, hut in reality a stage robber.
When coming to the help of Nellie,
Gerald is accidentally shot at by the
girl and is blinded. The Fastener
returns to his home in washington
and there. Nellie, now assuming her
own name of Melrose, follows, and
becomes his secretary, Clancy fol-
lows east and determined to have the
girl for himself enters the Hawthorne
home. To Gerald. Nellie seems not
the Nellie Of old and because Of his
blindness, he does not know she is
the girl he has met West. Clancy.
by threatening to expose her, is able
to rob the home and Gerald is
knocked unconscious as he attempts
to defend his property. From this
point, with an originality and clever
ness that are refreshing, the story
develops to it's happy conclusion.
AL. Luttringer and Ann Kingsley
are again excellent as Gerald and
Nellie. John B. Whiteman, one OF
the original members of the Luttrin-
ger Stock Co. when it was so sue
cessful in New Bedford, makes IL
wonderful true-to-nature Cool Haw-
kins. Another original member Of
the company, ISIS Leona Hanson. is
seen in the cast as Maize Smythe
and does an excellent bit of work.
Excellent comedy and character work
is done by John Dugan, Marie Foun-
tain, Billy Hall and Isabel Mac
Gregor while william Laveau is
superb as usual in the role Of Jim
Clancy.
"a Girl at Bay" in which Corinne
Griffith is featured. is the main pic
ture in the eight-reel program. 1t is
striking Vitagraph production in
which love and justice are shown in
a great struggle. Psychology and
straight evidence are brought against
each other as the story develops.
Psychology solves a murder mystery
much better than detectives do. The
screen drama is filled with powerful
climaxes that cannot fail to make
their impression. The usual good
comedy and news pictures are also
presented.-Adv.
