IRON the beg innings of literature
l. poets and writers of tales have con-
eerned themselves and their pens with
the eternal problems of life, and more
particularly with the fourth of the mys-
teries of Eeclesiastes, ''the way OF man
with a maid The resulting works have
been more or less frank in their depletion
of love and its manifestations, depending
largely on the manners and customs OF the
times in which their authors lived and
wrote. In every age the prudish have
been shocked by writings which gained
wide popularity with the masses of the
people. And in every age society has set
up barriers to keep such reading matter
out of the hands of the young. Thus,
the children in orthodox Jewish house
holds are not permitted to read thu long
of Solomon. We have it on the word OF
Taine that the practice of the young maids
of Shakespeare's day of reading Venus
and Adonis was severely frowned upon,
ever in that riotous and, in modern man
ner Of speaking, rough-necked stage OF
social development. Burton's Arabian
Nights is kept carefully locked in the
"double star" case in the library and many
n reader of these lines will remember the
stern parental rebuke when he was caught
reading The Decameron.
It is something of a shock, IN view OF
the traditional attitude, particularly of
the English speaking peoples, toward
.roticism in literature, to be Informed that
the erotic motive perneated the work of
all of our writers of poetry and prose
and that psychologists Of the Freudian
school can read into the very verses and
stories we have been placing in our cLil-
dren's hands the expression of unsatis-

THE villainous Flu Manchu is absent

Secret Egypt, but let that deter no one
from reading it. Mr.. Rohmer is still ORR
entail, but in different way-or, rather,
many different ways. No book of short
stories ever had greater variety of styles
and moods In The tales Of Abu Tabah it
seems as if the authors of Rdfles and
4rsene Lupin had transported their he
roes to Cairo. In the second half of the
book we breathe De Maupassant and the
arabian Nights.

At The DItmas

Today and tomorrow the Ditmas
will show the worlds greatest actress
Nazimova, in 1.-THE Brat" her latest
and greatest production. Seven acts
Of supreme entertainment; ais a
sparkling six act comedy drama feat
uring June Elvidge In Ills Fathers
Wife"
Oddly enough, "The Brat" is the
first of Nazomova's stage or screen
impersonations that presents her
as an American girl. Her great
fame hitherto has been derived from
portrayals of Latin and other Eu-
ropean types; but as an American
girl-and a pitiful waif of humanity
at that-she discloses anew her re-
markable ability as a female VIZ
ruoso of the emotions.
The story narrates the whimsi-
sal romance of 'the brat" a name
less child of the charity institutions
who drifts into the chorus of a
then hailed to the Night Court on a
trumped up charge. There an au-
thor who is seated on the bench
with the judge sees in Ter just the
type he has been seeking rs the
heroine of a new novel he is to
write.
Ills Fathers Wife," the latest
| World Picture, tells an amusing yet
touching story of Patty Hudson, a
| young secretary who marries her
| elderly employer, her troubles follow
ing his death and her love affairs with
the old mans son.
June Elvidge plays Patty with an
understanding that adds greatly to
| the piquancy of the story. h role
J requires a charming personality and
a real dramatic ability. Patty is one
| of the most lovable young women
ever screened. Her affection for old
man Winthrop, who has taken her
into his house as secretary, is very
real. After his death she presents q
pathetic figure alone in the big house,
surrounded by luxury, yet entirely
without sympathetic friends. Hearing
that as Winthrop's widow If h ever
married again her income will
dwindle to about $1,000 a year, the
man to whom she is engaged breaks
the engagement.
Scandal mongers and gossfps are
busy telling tales about the young
widow. Heartbroken and receiving
nothing but the most formal polite
ness from Winthrop's son., she decides
to leave the house.
Young Winthrop meets her just a:
she Is going out and. his feelings
overcoming his reserve. asks her to
marry him. He tells her that withou'
her, the big house would not seen
like home to him.
Sam B. Hardy, who has the role o.
Jim Winthrop, is exactly fitted t.
handle the character of the younger
Winthrop.
"His Fathers Wife" is a clever
story well told and wonderfully pre-.
scented. Alive with tense situations 1
has plenty of comedy hat keeps the
audience laughing while beneath the
laughter their sympathy Is aroused
for the helpless young widow bravely
facing a very difficult situation.
