Dram a
Love Laughs" Is New Play
at the Bijou
Theatre
By Haywood Broun

There are few amusing scenes in
Love Laughs" which was produced
at the Dijou Theatre last night, but
they are all gained at the expense of
heavy labor. The plot proceeds
throughout with the hot breath of the
playwright on its back. The play be-
gins with at least suggestion of "The
Boomerang" but in the middle of the
second act George D. Parker decided
that it would be we'll to heighten his
story with.a mystery. Accordingly, he
adds one rather abruptly, and tapes
try Is pulled aside to show the hidden
safe.
The mystery is never very profound.
1t might have been solved at almost
any moment if the characters had been
willing to offer each other a little rea-
sonable explanation. They were loyal
to the author, however, and steadfastly
misunderstood each other until few
minutes after IL, when the heroine ex-
planned that the jewels really belonged
to her by her mothers gift and that
she was not a thief. Up to that point
everybody had been obliging enough to
play whole scenes at cross purposes.
They were careful never to name the
person about whom they spoke, but al
ways to employ the ambiguous "he" or
she" Naturally, the person addressed
invariably chose to let the che" or
she" refer to some other person than
the one meant by the speaker.
But though the author has not man
aged to keep his elbows entirely out
OF the plot he has some conception of
stage fun and there are moments of
merriment along we'll established the
atrical lines. The play concerns a
bachelor who begins by thinking that
love IS foolish and then adopts it as
soon as the heroine enters. This theme
Is further complicated by the affairs
OF young man who persuades doc
tor to make him i'll in order that he
may be near the girl he thinks he
loves. And over and above all this is
the jewel mystery.
Jessie Glendinning as the heroine
gives an attractive and graceful per-
formance. The rest of the cast is not
distinguished

The time is fast approaching" said

moaning the changed conditions, The
old period is gone forever. The church
is to be tried. If these buildings which

Two Stielow Case Libel
Actions Discontinued
Sheriff Bartlett and Under
Sheriff Porter Drop Suits
Against New York Papers

BUFFALO,, May Colchester NJ.
Bartlett, former sheriff of Orleans
County, and J. Scott Porter, under
sheriff, have discontinued their actions
for heavy damages for alleged libel
against The Tribune, "The New York
World" and "The New York Times"
Supreme Court Justice Cole, sitting at
Special Term here, signed the orders
to-day. No settlement was made.
The suits were based on news re-
ports and editorials concerning the
murder of Charles B. Phelps and his
housekeeper in Orleans County in
March, 1915. Bartlett and Porter, in
tleir complaints against the news
papers, alleged that they had been
enormously charged with participating
in "third degree" methods in connec-
tion with a so-called confession which
resulted in the conviction of Charles
F. Stielow.
Stielow was freed by Governor
Whitman after Special Deputy Attor-
ney-General George II. Bond, who con-
''ucted an investigation of the case,
reported that Stielow was innocent.
Evidence had recently been obtained
by the newspaper defendants in Or
leans County ard elsewhere in sup
port of motions to change from that
county the place of trial Of the libel
suits brought by Bartlett and Porter,
which have now been abandoned, and
of those brought on similar publica-
tions by John c. Knickerbocker, for
mer distict attorney, who prosecuted
Stielow, which are still pending.
