CRANDALL'S--
elsie of CONQUEST"

1t is doubtful II Norma Talmadgc
has ever been privileged to appear in

Of the heroine Of Selects "Thc Isle Of

thur IIornblow's fascinating novel.
"By Right Of Conquest" which yes
tcrday was presented as chief fcatur"
of the bill arranged for the frst three
days OF the week at Crandalls Thea
ter.
In this subject. in which the star
is admirably supported by 4 distin-
guished cast led by her sister, Nuta-
lie, and Wyndham Standing. Miss
Talmadge Is cast as young society
butterfly who brings about the pro-
fessional disgrace Of her betrothed. a
gifted young medical scientist, by
tricking him into criminal desertion
of his duty.
Ruined in the eyes Of his confr"res
and dslllusioned as to the quality OF
feminine love, he first surrcndcrS to
drink and then takes passag" as
stoker aboard a vessel bound for tn"
South Seas. Aboard the same ship is
the girl who caused him to be dis
credited in the eyes Of tn" medical
fraternity.
During a storm the ship Is found
cred and the only two survivors AR"
the former lovers. who find them
selves by an odd twist Of whimsi-
cal fate thrown upon the vcrdant
shores of a scantily populated is
land.
The manner in which they read
lust their relationships and the cir
cumstances that finally bring them
back to civilization constitute tn"
motivating influences of scenes that
have seldom been cqualed on the
screen.

Touching is their FIRST meeting.
quite alone" where T'ien Tao offers
her emperor the tea with both hands.
And swiftly does this ruler. under
meath a strong minded American OF
1920 and on the surface "a Chinese OF
750, overturn his whole world, all for
Tien Tao. Dramatic is the scene In
the Yen Pagoda, ending in disaster
and death for the emperor and the
beautiful maid.
The dividing line between the
dream and the reality Is never seen
clearly. AS Ii Flu Yang says, "a man,
! dreamed l was butterfly And
now l wonder whether "A butterfly, ]
dream am a man." Arthur White re-
turns to New York. 1920. To find Tien
Tao only Susanne, cousin of his best
friend, Stanley Barrett. His curious
adventure in ChenEtu was but the
suggestion OF Ii Flu Yang, accom-.
panied by the little brown pills.
Much might be written OF that
sop tossed Puritan tradition In this
country which requires mealy-
mouthed attack upon opium In the
final scene. Earl Carroll must have
ground his teeth at the necessity Of
including those lines in his excellent
piece of playwriting. But we must
be protected from our worse selves
H..
we must Clothc our Ncnuses de Milo,
In France they do that thing better.
Eileen Wilson. favorably known
here through her connection with the
Garrick Players. is the one female
character in this charming play. As
T'ien Tao. she might have stepped
right from some lacquered fan, or
even from some teapot, into the Now.
She Is sweet and dainty, as behts
lady of old Chengtu waited down the
years on n Whit OF opium smoke. SO
perfect is she that, as Susanne in the
final scene. she rather appears TO be
the same little T'icn Tao come to life.
George Gaul's impersonation OF the
artist who became a king and fought
for his little Chinese maid Is manly
and convincing. Indeed. he is bit
more impressive as king than as
an artist One secretly wishes that
China might have had such ruler
in the days OF its ancient peril.
The supporting company IL well
chosen, William Raymond. Brandon
Hurst, Henry Herbert, Edwin Max
we'll and Donald Malcolm, making
perfect picture of old China. The
lines are musical in their imagery, the
incidental strains from the orchestra
assist in conveying the idea Of the
author, and the happenings in tho
kings garden are poetic 10 the last
point.
Yes. II is unfortunate for US that
we must follow Mr.. Cohan and Mr..
COBB in halling this exquisite piece
of stage workmanship AZ close TO
perfection. but we do unhesitatngly,
urging all those who enjoy good
things to sec II.

day, the engagement to continue
throughout the week.
Carrying a powerful love theme
and enacted by IN exceptional cast.
mastcrfully directed by Reginald
Barker, the production embodies all
of the best elements of the many
necessary factors which enter into a
special feature. ana as such will un-
doubtcdly meet with the approval of
all patrons OF the cinema who see Il
during the week.
In n perturbation of this character

manship, the putting OF this and that
together, ''Thc Lady Of the Lamp
is well-nigh perfect. The action.
once under way, moves rapidly and
logically. The events are not too
far-fetched, though there Is touch
OF melodrama here and there. The
end is the expected, though one has
to witness it before he admits It,.
Indeed, there are two endings-that
of the old Chinese legend and that OF
Arthur Whites dream of that legend.
The curious blending OF the ancient
Chinese story with New York city
life of today is we'll worth study.
So smoothly is 1t all conceived and
carried out there is never any notice
able incongruity. For those with
even Il smattering of a knowledge OF

Arthur Whites dream actions are en-
tirely logical and, therefore, con-
vincing.

 The issue has arisen in connection with deal between a Brooklyn firm and a Berlin manufacturing concern involving the delivery Of German products valued at four million marks. The American firm defi- nitely closed contract with the To- cal company on April 20, but it is charged. the subsequent rise in the mark induced it to find the purchase price of disadVantageous. and it an nullcd the contract on the ground that it was in violation of law

Pope is Keenly DesirOlgs of Peace
 in Irish Affairs

London, May 29-Anglo-Iris re lations will not be affected by thl visit of many prominent lrishmen to Rome in connection with the bcatj- fication of Oliver Plunket, first bish- op of Armagh, says the Rome cor respondent of the Daily Mail. Sean O'Ceallaigh, president of the Irish parliament was asked whether the visit of prominent Irishmen in Rome would result in any improvement in relations between their country and England, and O'Ceallaigh replied:
 None whatever"
 While it would be wrong to say Pope Benedict has departed from his policy of non-interference in the na- tional affairs of Europe" the core spondent writes, "information has been received that he has expressed his pain and displeasure ever the continuance of crime in Ireland. If his words have been yelled in diplo- matic language they nevertheless have revealed a definite state of mind that no solution can ever be reached by one party murdering an other. The Pope is keenly desirous of peace everywhere, and if he can in any way bring his moral support in- to play, he will do it.

Expect Trio of
 Parties to Rule
 German Election

Berlin, May 29.-Leaders or the coalition of the three parties now m control of the German government profess confidence that these parties, the Majority Socialists, German Dem ocrats and Christian Peoples Party, or Clericals, will continue in control as result of the general election to be held June 6. This election will choose members of the first regular National Assembly under the repub- lican constitution.
 These leaders concur in saying that probably the Majority Socialists, who now have 165 seats, will lose one third of these to the Independent So- cialists who are expected to emerge from the balloting with TO members of the Assembly, instead of 22 which they now have. The political leaders say the communists probably will have five representative in the new parliament, as the German Bolshe- vists are well supplied with money, although their party organization is not wholly intact.
 The ultra reds expect to benefit through the recent rioting in the Ruhr and Saxon districts, while the Democratic and Clerical leaders say they expect to retain their present representation.
 There is strong effort being made by the Clerical Conservatives in the direction of inducing the Ma tional Liberals to join the coalition bloc not only for the purpose of for tifying it numerically as set off tc the losses expected to be incurred by the Majority Socialists, but also be- cause the Clericals feel the need o1 moral support in new quarters fol their church school policies, in de- fense of which they are virtually de. serted by the Democrats and basi- cally opposed by the Majority So- cialists.
 One of the most influential of the Clerical leaders is making overtures to Gustav Strossmann, the National Liberal leader to induce him to poo issues with the coalition block.
