stepping out" was one OF the best
little things John Rutherford Wayne
did. Sometimes he stepped out" with
the boys. More often he stepped out"
with Rita, a gay little cafe habitue
who camped at the Free Spirits Cafe,
the rendezvous of the free-lovers of
Hobohenia.
Margaret Wayne, otherwise Mrs.
John, couldn't step out" worth a cent.
She had never had the inclination to
acquire the technique. The only
stepping out" Margaret did was when
she took a stroll with Sonny Boy
or went to an afternoon tea given by
the Daughters of Democracy for the
World" John was so busy stepping
out" every night, that Margaret hodn't
seen a show since Sis Hopkins was
the rage, and hadn't been TO dinner
r party since Sonny Boy" had his first
tooth.
my dear, men never appreciate
any woman they are sure Of" remark
ed one Of Margarets schoolgirl
friends. "Why don't you step out a
little and make him JEALOUSY"
Did Margaret do it? She did-and
then some! But some married women
can "step out" for years without get
ting caught. Margaret couldn't. Her
foot slipped the first time, and John
got a divorce and took Sonny Boy
with him.
All wrong. you say? Well tell the
world 1t was raw deal-when John
married Rita, the prize Stopper
1t wouldn't be fair to tell how it
worked out, but it was unique and
thrilling, and dramitic, and original
and Rita got what was coming to her,
and he made up for the wrong he'd
done.
You can see how it all happened in
Tangled Threads" starring Bessie
Rarriscale, to show at the Murray
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.
There are few If any actors on the
american stage whose faculty for
making up to suit the requirements of
his roles is developed more artistically
than that possessed by John Barry
more. This is amply evidenced by him
in his new Paramount photoplay, "The
Test Of Honor" which will be shown
at the Murray Theatre next Thursday
Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
In portraying the role of a man who
has served seven years in the peniten.

tic that it caused every one to gasp
and shudder. His face, CHASTITY yellow
from prison-pallor. was deeply lined
end shaded so that it gave the appear

In some artful manner he gave to
his throat shrunken appearance
while the cords stood out pathetically

that hunted expression of the convict
and his hair. naturally black, was
powdered with white in streaks.
His hands, too, were not overlooked
in the makeup, and so thin were the
Myers that hey resemhled claws more
than human hands. When his sister
Ethel Barrymore, drove up to the
studio, he appeared in this strange
makeup at the door, and the onlookers
saw her gasp and grow pale.

Coates of Brass!" What a world OF
IMAGINATION is conjured up by the
recollection of this wonderful sen
tence-"Some there be that sit in
darkness, their hearts bound in iron
and hteir souls in prison behind gates

This is the theme upon which Mrs
Kate Corbaley builded when she wrote
the five-act drama, Coates of Brass "
ESPECIALLY for that veteran character
actor, Mr.. Frank keenan,. Although
the quotation reads almost like the

has founded thereon a powerfully com
