At the Snencpr.

For the first time Rock Island is
to see the Dance of the Seven Wells,
which so stirred blase New York at
the one performance OF Strauss
opera, ''Salome." which public opin-
don would permit.
Rock Island is not to see the
dance to the caressing cadences OF
the Strauss music, at least not so
far as an operate setting is con-
cerned, but will vision it on the
screen when Theda Bara portrays
for the first time the role of that
historical woman scorned"
With a mise en- scene such as no
operate stage is capable of, and
with an adherence to the biblical
story in all Its historical detail, as
is promised, the production should
prove one far above the level of the
Strauss orgy OF dissonances and in
cecent display, which was buiIded,
It would seem, merely for sensation
and the shekels that it brings in its
train.
william Fox, the producer of the
newest screen spectacle, declares
it is the most dazzling production
CT all time.

Herbert Brenon's latest photo
drama, The Eternal SIM" will be
the attraction at the Fifth Avenue
theatre today. This Is the second
production by this noted director
for Selznick-Pictures his war
Brides" having proved one of the
greatest sensations in the history
OF American films. The star of the
east is Miss Florence Reed, one of
the greatest faTorites of the stage
and screen.
The story of "The Eternal Sin"
deals with certain dramatic cpl
sOdes in the life of Lucretia Borgia
and is taken from the play by Vic
tor Hugo, author of Les Miser-
.ables." The traditional view of Lu-
cretia Is that she was poisoner and
typical member of the notorious
Borgia family. In 1.-THE Eternal
Sin" another side of her character
Is shown She takes vengeance at
ter the medieval fashion upon a
group Of men who caused the as
sassination of her brother The
relatives of these men denounce her
20 the one person for whom she
cherished a pure and unselfish af-
lection Again Lucretia seeks ven
geance and while she accompIishes
her end, circumstances result in
her deeds recoiling upon herself in
2 tragic fashion In this story
there are several scenes which
must be classed among the most
sensational ever conceived by an
author and yet they are free from
the UggestiVeness that is usually
the accompaniment of sensational
ism. In the cast supporting Miss
Reed is Richard S. Barthelmess,
who played the part of the young
est son in War Brides; William
E Shay, who has had leading roles
in almost all of Mr.. Brenon's pho
todramas; Alexander K Shannon
and other popular PLAYERS.

been going with girl of my own age
for 3 months. l love her dearly. and
l think she returns my love. While
with her I have been a gentleman in
every way, but boys who have known
her longer than I, tell me that she is
not what l think that she is. What
would you do, would you continue to
go with her until I find out what
she is, or would you ignore all words
that have been told me, for she has
always acted a lady while with me.

Jim is right. I have changed a
great deal since we left Centervil'e.
Most unhappy marriage out in Cen
terville were caused by the unpro-
gressiveness of the wife. Usually the
poor woman was drudge and dub
She had no opportunity to store her
mind. She married, kept house and
had children. Her diversions were
mostly church festivals (the most un-
festive events in the history of the
world), teas, calls and an occasional
matinee where she went with some
other woman of her exact type and
saw a badly-acted, badly-staged play
that had failed in Broadway
Life was neither happy nor tragic.
1t was simply dull. No sparks were
struck from the womans brain be
cause she never met anything but
woman.
l contend that in order to learn
something the sexes must have eX
hilarting combats. For instance, the
business women who fight in the ranks
with male workers know more about
human nature and the laws OF exist
ence than do nursemaids who talk
with each other in the parks.
Writers, who mix with everybody
to whom every experience is grist TIC
the mill and even sorrow a teacher
know more Of useful things than the
nuns and monks.
And wives who are not slaves tc
the kitchen, the sewing room and the
nursery make better companions tc
their husbands than those who brins
no discussion to the dinner table save
the butchers bill or baby's cough.
Whether Jim admits it or not, mos
of these Centerville wives had I'M
faithful husbands. For when it come!

and the passion Of human love it i!

EVANGELINE

EVANGELlNE
The very essence Of poetry is cap
tured and held imprisoned in the name
Evangeline. The legend Of that beau
tiful and unhappy maiden whose fate
full wanderingS were immortalized by
Longfellow surrounds the name with
romance and charm beyond all other
feminine names.
Evangeline is derived from the
Greek and signifies angel-like. 1t also
has the translation happy messenger
since it comes from the Greek word
meaning we'll, happy, combined with
another word meaning moving; the
whole forming Evangelus, bearer Of
good tidings. The term applied orig
inally to shepherd who brought to
Ephesus the tidings of quarry of
beautiful marble for the building Of
the temple that was the glory Of the
city and Of Asia. Adored with heroic
honors as he was, the title must have
seemed to the Ephesian Christians to
fit those spiritual shepherds who
brought the best of tidings and Evang-
ELISHA became the theme for preachers.
Evangelista was an old Italian name
and Longfellow seems to have Dor
, roWed it and invented his Evange}ine
purely for use in his poem. 1t is from
his adoption that all the American
Evangelines are derived, SO it may
| perhaps be called the pureSt American
| feminine name which we have. Ger
| tainly LOngfellOw has described an
| ideal American girl:
| Fair was she to behold, that
maiden of seventeen summers.

When in the harvest heat she bore tc
the reapers at noon-tide
Flagons of home brewed ale. All fail
in sOoth was the maiden.
When she had passed it seemed like
the ceasing of exquisite music.
Evangeline's talismanic gem is the
ruby, that warm pulsing stone which il
said to be an elixir of great potenc,
for the wearer. It's medicinal qualities
were held in great esteem by the anci
ents and from it the potion known a
