PLAZA

PLAZA,
 An event Of lively importance and great popular Interest occurred last night at the Plaza Theatre. The sor- did, the beautiful, the adventurous thrillingly blended-these furnish the flavor of ''The White MolP' a pow erful eight act super drama featur- ing Pearl White in her first appear ance in feature pictures. Needless to say, a capacity house greeted this popular screen, star who has def1n- itely abandoned screen serials in which she earned world fame. In 'The White MoIl" has surpassed any thing she has ever done on the screen. She furnishes an abundance of thrills in a role which is intensely drmatic, fromed in a story which grips the heart from start to finish. It was written by Frank L. Packard, famous author of '"The Miracle Man.. An unusually strong cast is seen in the support of Miss White in this, the years greatest master piece.
 Bart McHugh's musical farce Meet The Wife, as presented by Joe Wolf, Harvey Brooks, Blanche Ma get and a specially selected beauty chorus, was 8 het. The act is very pretti1y staUeA and the costuming al so in keeping with the high tenor of the play1et. It was a success throughout, Stewart and Neff found no trouble in registering a tremen- dous hit. Attired as "hoboes" they cavort through a number of songs and parodies in veteran-1ike style and a rousing amount of applause rewarded their efforts. Gladys Tidd, the pretty little local girl has as neat and clever a little singing and toe dancing act as was here in many a day. The Braminos, t'The Musical Clowns delighted the audience with a. number of well selected pieces and tfCavalieri de Rusticana'' was especially well done.

Fitzhugh awakened next morning to
the ringing of his telephone. 1t was
Hunt. He cut short the flood of ques-
tions, and still in his paiamas, got a
small valiSe from a closet and began
filling it with shirts, collars, and such
other articles as man needs for a
short journey.
When he reached his office, for twen-
ty galvanic minutes, without wasted
word, he outlined concisely what he
wanted done during his absence, con-
sidering and settling various problems
that in the interim might arise Per-
ceiving the flight of time he snatched
his hat from the floor, and, with Hunt
trottng along beside. hurried to the
elevator, still giving directions and adj
vice. Down the elevator shaft, through
the rotunda of the first floor, to the
automobile in Adams street, and
thence to the railway station, he con-
tinued the terse counseling.
AS he dashed into the Grand Central
station, ran down the midway toward
his gate, the conductor called
'Board!" and his train pulled out.
He caught the last Pullman as it
moved from the shed.
Fitzhugh returned from Washington
In four days, changed man. There
had been little he could do; so little,
indeed, that he felt his trip had been
wasted. He had located some men,
bers of Esther's family and had given
them, quite anonymously, sum of
money larger than any they had ever
known. Then he took train for Chi
cago. There was nothing else to do.
But he could not forget. Vividly
against the background of his mind
were marshaled all Esther had done
for him. all her little acts Of kindness,
her unselhshness. but doglike devotion.
And then he would think of the re-
quftal he had made. His memory
hogged him pitllessly. He thought of
how he had left her alone with Niko-
lay that morning, of his incompassion-
ateness the last time he saw her alive,
OF the death-dealing message he had
sent, the needless cruelty

1t was nearly eleven when he

lacking his morning mail at twenty
minutes past ten. When running
through the fourth letter Of the heap

violently back in his chair.

"I'll tell her on Wednesday," he con-

up in the rush of the days business.
The boy handed him scrap of pa

pencil:
