secretary of the Jockey club. an
nounced that the best rider in the
country was under the ban for the
present, Mt least.
No reason was given. The Jockey
club rarely, II ever, gives reasons for
refusing licenses TO jockeys or train
ers. It follows, OF course, that Lotus
has violated one of the rules Of racing
and is being punished.
This is not the first time that Lof-
tus has been In hot water. His license
was withheld for more than a month
last year and he went before the stew
ards in person to plead his case before
he received his papers. Then, near
the close of the Empire city meeting
last summer, he was suspended for
what the stewards considered an un-
satisfactory ride on Wills Sharpe Kill
mer's Sun Briar in the Mount Vernon
handicap which was won by Lucullite.
He was cleared, howevet, after an In
vestigation.

"A MORMON MAID"
Mae Murray Star in Garrick Photo
play

Gsrrick-"A Mormon Maid" is a play
of pseudo-rellgious nature that holds the
attention of the audience from the start
until the end. 1t is n beautifully mounted
production, with the plot laid in country
that might easily have passed for the
original. Despite the warmth of last
evening a crowded house again greeted
the fine acting of Mae Murray in one
of the leading roles.
Miss Murray and Hobart Bosworth are
the featured players but only the first
stands out prominently because the
makeup of the latter Is such as to dis
guse too much the wonderful strength
OF his natural face The youthful Miss
Murray. however. shows her versatility
by enacting first a girl of the open
country and later a young miss who Is
gowned In the costume of the late
forties. Compare these roles with her
work in "On With the Dance" recently
projected upon this same screen, and
she at once stands out as one of our
best players. Edythe Chapman as the
mother does some fine work with a lot
of emotional acting that carries. Noah
Beery gives portrayal stern and severe
as the fve-times welded Mormon leader
Frank Borzage is the youthful lover
The story concerns a family which Is
befriended by Mormons when the In
dians attack their home. After a few
years in the midst of this religious sect
the newcomers are asked to join the
church and take part in its poygamous
practices but refuse until made to do so
by force. 1t is when the leader tries
to marry the daughter that the climax y
comes and with II a flight and the
chase by the hooded sentries, known
as the "avenging angels"

Movies

stanley-"Dr. Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde"
is masterpiece Of dramatic acting for
the screen as portrayed in character by
John Barrymore. II proves that this
player is equally fitted to this style Of
play as to the lighter forms of comedy
with which he has been provided in the
past. There probably has not been a
better characterization portrayed In cell
luloid than his remarkable transforma-
tion from one man to another. This
chAnge Is all the more vivid in the fact
that the movie camera records 1t instan-

there could not be such readiness In

John s. Robertson directed this piece
with skill and fully understood the mag
