Little Brother of the Rich"
A yellow streak was the bar sinister
on his coat-or-arms. =
Like q saffron Sir Knight he en-
crnsted himself in the invu1nerable
armor of a good woman's love and
stalked among the weak with eyes
afiame.
Paul Potter was his name. Old
Ell was his college and all Broadway
was his hunting ground. He had
looks. money, social position, infu-
ence, ut the spine of a jelly-fish.
He was as fast as an ocean clipper,
as foul as a sl~ave-galley and cruised
SO low that his gunwales were awash
with sin.
Yet Sylvia Castle, beautiful Sylvia
whose name was blazing through the
Broadway nights. wanted to marry
him.
Sinking out of one matrimonial
clinch, Potter vas going In for
other when it dawned upon him that
u marriage to Sylvia might injure
his social position. He told her SO.
But the fury of "a woman scorned"
makes Vimy Ridge seem like a camp
meeting in comparison. The story,
- bllLl0 bTOLuer OF the ftlCn, was
written by Joseph Medill Patterson, Is
to be shown at the Majestic Theatre
tomorrow with an all star cast OF
players.
Frank Mayo, J. Barney Sherry and
Kathryn~Adams share honors for the
leading role. Frank Mayo depicts the
role of Paul Potter and Kathryn
Adams appears as Sylvia
A little nonsense now and then, es-
pecially clever nonsense, is relished by
the wisest men-and the women too.
So for the benefit of the wise an an
neuncement Is made that Girls Ala
