His line was forgery, and Of course
the swindiing in this case was deliber-
ate. Both Ponzi's and the later case
involved money in large amounts.
The more recent affair concerned
the forging Of international bills Of
aiding checks drafts, bills of ex-
change and the like 1t appears to
have netted S2J0,000 In a month. OF
course the workers in this scheme
could aot obtain the money with the
speed = maintained by Ponzi His
gross income was counted in m lions,
as now his liabilities are. The de.
duction to be drawn from the facts
in both cases is that both depended
for their success upon the dim.
/ sightedne Of people; their grossness
of perception; in brief their stu
pidty
That forgery has been practiced for
lagos does not seem to stamp it out.
In fact it has been noted especially
lof latc that forgers have been plying
1 their mischieyious trade with more
/ than ordinary success. Instances Of
| it come occasionally to light Some,
times this happens when the forger
| is caught, as in the present instance.
But frequently forgeries OF consid-
cradle magnitude never reach the
public iield of vision But the public
lis aware that forgery is still prac-
ticod Reformed forgers have been
warning the public Of it. A series
of magazine articles written by a
former forger recently published,
come to mind at this point.
1t is well that such fragrant cases
as the Ponzi scheme and the inter
national forgery case have been
nipped in manner to discourage the
ambitions of other potential law.
/ breakers American and Greek
/ banking inst tutions were victimized
in the forgery case, which relieves
the general public Of the odium OF
having been gulled But the gen
eral public, or at least several thou
sand members Of it, were caught by
the lure of Ponzi's fifty per cent
profit Some people with more money
than they could use have been show
ing a tendency to rush in where
angels would be more circumspect
If many more instances of the kind
are brought TO ght the country Is
apt to lose its reputation for Yankee
shrewdness.-T Record

until 1t comes to where she wants to run it-then she takes the reins in her own competent hands without ever letting Charles Ram know one breath about it.'
 Recalling how many successes Edith Wynne Matthison's name has "stood for,' I at once asked the lovely English actress how she liked the sort of thing she is doing now; interpretations I mentioned for want of a better name; how she must miss the "reaf' stage, and all that when she promptly made 1 mention in the following remark:
 "At last MT. Kennedy and I have the ideal audience; in the theatre there are so many people who go merely to be amused; who do not take the situation seriously; not that I mean that the theatre is a serious matter; but what I do mean, is, that the play, it's conc struction, it's theme. its scenic effects these things that should be appreciated pass the average audience-right | over the head.''

 "Of course I miss the stage" Miss Matthison continued, "but there is very little demand now for the classical drama; I mean. by that Shakespeare; oh. of course there are some actors who are playing Shakespeare today and doing well-but the sordid consdera : tion of money must be looked at and

Edith Wynn Mdtthison

HAVE never met wood nymph; have never met a naiad; but I = have seen Edith wynne Matthison ' lon" the stage and yesterday I met ! her face to face off the stage, and !! she is the nearest approach I can i'm agine to any such creature-child of \ earth and dreams!
 \ She has voice like wind among the pine trees and the feel" of her is like u moonlight on the waters and but that common humanity forbids. I should here and now endeavor to turn poet and indite a sonnet" to her-the son. net that for years has been struggling in my heart for speech ever since saw her portray youth-sexless, vibrant. eternal youth in "Everymanp-when I first heard the sound of her lovely voice of exquisite cadences and rhythms
 Edith Wynne Matthison hasn't beauty in the strictest sense of the word; l ] mean by. that the calendar" of front cover of popular magazine as l dis covered yesterday when I sat in remote corner of the Tutwiler. hotel and she talked to me of her adorable self. her ambitions, her wonderful hus- band and the drama.
 But "on" the stage--whether in her interpretations with her husband Of the Greek play, ''Adcestis" of Euripides or Mir. Kennedy's own delightful play "The Rib of the Man" Edith Wynne Matthison makes wonderful picture of beauty just as she did of the ethereal youth of "Everyman," or the mediaeval princess of The Miracle" or yet Major Barbar" of Shaw's delectable brain or one of MT. Gals 1yorthy,s appealing heroines.
 Edith Wynne Matthison is primarily and essentially. an fntellectuaf'; what it is that is different from others, you get through sixth sense" as 1t were
 or perhaps a chord of all the senses
 it is indefinable, yet persuasive; in
 dsscribable yet insistent.
 Edith Wynne Matthison talks Ittlo and when she does--her conversatio

 Miss Matthison asked me to excuse her better half'---Mr. Kennedy--yes terday when I called on her, explaining that he had been far from well anf that he must rest; oh such lot pe- cause-well he's very busy man and requires relaxation from his many dutiesA-so that he may--write!
 It was easily seen that Miss Matthl- son is the member of the Kennedy fam ilv who rather bosses" the situation, that is if you would call the distin- guished MT. Kennedy "a situation, be- cause she mothers" him as well as administers her wifely attentions to him, and makes him take care of him self whether he will or mo-" as the 'kiddies' say--and so, when Miss Mat thison was telling me of how she re- fused to allow him to "overtax" him. self I recalled what a very charming actress friend of mine who is very {, intimate friend of the ''Kennedys" said to me about them one time:
 q might describe the Kennedys at least Edith Wynne Matthison as Anne of Bernard Shaw's Man and Super man. for she let's Charles Ram manage every situation to his hearts content,
The Birmingham age-herald., 1920-11-13

it requires such an enormous outlay to stage a classical play nowadays that one must be practical even in the face of art and not rush in where angels fear to tread.'
 "The modern drama Miss Matthisen said, veering from the subjet in hand "of course appeals to me in a way that is, mean, such modernists as Bernard Shaw and John Galsworthy who have done some splendid plays 1T which l have enjoyed playing, too but alas! these dramatists are very few and far between! In America your greatest modern playwright was Vaughn Moody, whose The Great Divide was typically American--big robust fine. There is a young play wright now in the public eye Eugene ONeill who wrote Beyond the Horizon. who has a flattering future; he has talent and constructive power; he is destined to do big things. I like Rachel Brothers, too; she is distinct in the field of playwriting; she has done some excellent plays very worthwhile and finely wrought out"
 Tn our interpretations which Mir Kennedy and I are presenting" Mis- Matthison said, i've strive to give the same attention to detail to scenics as we do on the stage; the curtain, tho chairs, the tables, the tapestries--I enss deavor te make pleasing to the eye .by and shades-blending as nearly as pos and shadesJblending as nearly as pos. sible in tonai effect.'
 Miss Matthison revealed the "etsrna' feminine" truly in the next remark she made and it rather pleased ms when she said:
 q love pretty effects; pretty clothes
