evening was entirely unsuitable for any outdoor gathering, but the mem bers of the society were not to be cheated out of their good time by the weather and so the affair was held in
 Miss FOrd's home. There were about 50 people present. Games, a lot of music, some dancing and other forms of entertainment were on the pro- gram, but the leading feature was the roast. The roasting was done in the fireplace of Miss FOrd's home and was Q joyous affair. The articles
 Toasted were eaten with great enjoy
 ment, and the affair is reported 10 have been a grand success, despite the
 bad weather.

moments; it is not distinguished. We
should ourselves have preferred simply
moving history, but if we must nave
an epic expressed in a lyric it should
be the pearl of lyrics. One way of
making it so lay ready to Griffith's
hand. At the time of "Intolerancc"
(and alas, ever sincc!D the whole
moving picture world eagerly awaited
an adequate and signal vehicle for
the unique genius of Mae Marsh. Grit
fifth created that vehicle. The Noun
tain Maid, as she might have been
before he thought of her tanned ana
taught to be cute, was a consummatc
opportunity for that strange dancing
wildfire, carrying tragedy and fine,
flecting comedy almost in one CLEAN.
1t is not possible to see the part and
keep ones thought from Mae Marsh.
She was in Griffith's employ. And he
put her into the modern story of "In-
tolerance" and called upon Constance
Talmadge, now doing such charming
work in modern comedy, for the Noun
tain Maid. Miss Talmadge looks as
pretty as a picture, and she plays
with great competence cunning, love
lorn ingenue laboring conscientiously
to be a little. bit tough. Doubtless
Griffith has right to choose his own
cast. But so have we right to com
plain. For we might have had real
wild bird shared in Babylon; our
lyric might have changed into that
perfect pearl, shimmering with mcmor-
able and DISTINGUISHED light.

They seemed to be surprised that
Daphne was still In existence. Eldon
gave her a curious smile of greeting.
She heard the call boy crying "Over-
ture" about the corridors. She heard
the orchestra playing "the kings
piece" Then it struck up a march
that sounded remote and irrelevant.
There was loud swish which she sup
posed to be the curtain going up. An
actor and an actress in white flannels
with tennis rackets under their arms
linked hands and skipped into the we'll
of light. They banded repartee for
time.
Eldon, speaking earnestly to Mrs.
Vining, suddenly began to laugh soft
ly. He laughed louder and louder and
then plunged into the light.
A little later Eldon came off the
stage laughing. He dropped his laugh
ter as he crossed the border and re-
sumed his aneedote. "As l was say
ing"
"But Mrs. yining interrupted:
''There comes my cue. How are They
tonfght?"
'Rather cold" said Eldon; "it's SO
hot"
'sThe swine!" said Mrs. Vining. Then
she shook out her skirts, Strengthened
up and swept through the door like
dowager swan.
One of the box lights began to sput-
ter, and Patterson dashed round from
the other wing to curse the man in
charge. He ran into Daphne, glared.
and spoke harshly: you needn't wait
any longer"
Daphne swallowed her pride and
skunk out.

Miss Kemble tried to helm She
asked Daphne to step aside and watch
Whiie she went through the scene. But
she was so unnerved that she forgot
her own lines and had to refer to the
manuscript. while Eldon waited in
acute distress and Daphne, looking on,
| said: "Oh. see. / think understand
1t now" Then she forgot it all again
at the repetition. Somehow the re-
hearsal was worried through to the
end and Patterson dismissed the COM
pany with sarcastic thanks. Then he
went to Reben to demand a substi-
| tute.
Daphne went home, dreading her
fate but not knowing what the verdict
was. She felt sure that it would be
not guilty of dramatic ability. She
was worn out with the exposure of her
own faults and uncertain which she
feared the more-to be dismissed or
to be accepted. The latter meant I'M
ending trials.
At the elevator she found Tom
Duane. He had just telephoned up
to the apartment to ask if she were in.
There was a welcome flattery In his
frank delight. She asked him up. Tom
Duane was electric with cheer. He
praised Daphne with inoffensive heart
mess and insisted on hearing the his
tory of her progress. She gave the
worst possible account of her stupid
ity. He would have none of her self
depreciation.
''Everything's got to begin,' he said
Some of the greatest actors are bad
at rehearsal, and never get over it.
Some of the greatest actresses always
are at their worst on the first perform
ance. You're bound to succeed. You |
have beauty and charm and grace and |
no end. Don't worry. I'll |

yet"
There was a fine reinsurance in that /
word ''we" In spite of its pleasant tang
Of impudence. 1t gave her strength to
go to the telephone and call up Reben.
She came back in despair and col
lapsed on the divan.

His solicitude pleased her. She
smiled palely: 'Mr. Reben told me he

Bayard spoke with unusual solem-

that. But Moses got ahead of him.

While Leila and Bayard and Mrs.
Kip were putting on their festal robes
Daphne was eating alone hasty meal
brought up tardily from the restau-
rant.
Before they were dressed she had to
march out in what she called her
working clothes. The mailman ran to
call her taxicab, but she shook her
head. Her humble twenty-five dollars

and from the shop.
She walked rapidly along Fifty
ninth street, but not rapidly enough to
escape one or two murmurous gal
lants.
She found Patterson quarreling with |

for broken vase. He ignored her till
at length she ventured to stamuer:

Every piece Of furniture she selected

paused at the mallbox and went to
their various cells.
Eventually Patterson found that AL

SWELL, instead of paying 1t to you

bank account for you; SO ran over to
this bank at the lunch hour and made

Leila forgot her jewelry for mo-
ment In this new pride. She strutted
about with mock hauteur, waving Mrs.
Kip and Daphne aside and saying:
"Don't speak to me. / am q lady with
a bank account"
Mrs. Kip sighed in dreary earnest,
"That's more than I ever was"
Leila was porting over her bank book,
the blank pages in which so many dra-
mas, tragedies and life histories could
be codified in bald numerals.
Her first question was ominous: "Do
have to go all the way down to

draw out some money!"
Her first thought was already to at
tack the integrity of her store.
