has just broken finally with Sinclair

has just broken finally with Sinclair
But it Is too late. Mrs Sinclairs
lawyer has accumulated all the evidence
required to obtain her divorce But the
lawyer is money seeker. He offers
the husband the opportunity of protect
ing his mistress at the expense of his
ward in fact, he has collected circum-
stantial evidence which would allow the
wife to name Sinclair's ward instead of
Miss Wyndham as correspondent in her
action for divorce. The lawyer offers to
sell out the wife to the husband-for a
consideration. The wife is hurrying to
catch her husband and his ward to-
gether-innocently enough as it hap
pens-when he is instantly killed in an
automobile accident.
Then the rising on stepping stones of
her dead self begins for Elinor Wynd-
ham. She marries a young, and sue
cessful physician, whose belief is that
most Of the ills of the human body are
traceable to the mind and misfortune.
He believes, as the poet, that men and
women can rise to higher things using
their past unfortunate experiences as
stepping stones. But when the truth is
brought home to him that his own wife
has done this very thing there is a
tremendous strain on his philosophy,
strain that nearly snaps it.
Kathlene MacDonell, as Elinor
Wyndham, gives a very clever inter-
probation of the role, and Pedro de Cor
doba plays DR.. Jean Favel, the man
she marries, with a naturalness and
strength that carries conviction. War
burton Gamble is the wicked husband,
Robert Sinclair, and Phyllis Povah a
son, as the lawyer Sylvester Carhart,
is the blackmailer par excellence, and
Malcolm Fassett IS capital in minor
role, the brother of DR.. Favel.

GARRICK-Thurston.

Continuing his mystifying NEGRO
nancy. prestidigitation. experiments
in the occult and deviation for the
second week of his engagement here.
Thurston, the magician, provided real
diversion last evening at the Shu-
bert -Garrick Theater. Two hundred
members of Almas Temple. Ancient
Arabic Order Mobiles of the Mystic
Shrine, wearing the red fez of the
order, attended in a body as guests of
orchestra chairs. They were headed
by Illustrious Potentate Henry Lans-
burgh. The magician made his initial
appearance wearing the fez of Mecca
Temple, New York city, of which he
is a member. The occasion partook
of the nature of a shrine ceremonial
when Potentate Lansburgh was in
strange things happened. The tassel
of his fez suddenly stood on end,
cards and other discriminating para
phernalia flowed from his pockets,
articles of infant attire-the poten-
tate supposedly being a bachelor
were removed from his garments,
and he finally fed in CONSERVATION to
his seat, with the head and neck of
very much alive and quacking duck
protruding from the back of his coat,
endeavoring to make it's escape.
Judging by the applause, that was
one of the hits of the evening with the
specially invited portion of the au-
dience.
The Shriners staged comeback by
interrupting the performance and
asking the magician to summon Mrs.
Thurston. When she appeared an of
ficer of Almas Arab Patrol played

letter from Herbert Hoover to Mrs.
Robert ]. Burdette of California. say-
ing that since the armktice the adj
ministration has made a failure by
all the tests we can apply" was made
public here last night by the western
headquarters of the republican ma
tional committee.
Mrs. Burdette was one of a party
of women who held meetings in adj
vocacy of the league last year. The
letter said in part:
Il have no doubt our democratic
friends will argue that they are mar
tyrs to adherence to a great principle
in the unmodified covenant of the
league of nations. They are seeking
martyrdom upon false premise. The
questions involved in the league of
nations concern one great principle
and numbers Of alternative methods
OF its accomplishment.
The republican party and Senator
Harding have repeatedly expressed
their great devotion to this great
principle. Article K and other ar
ticles objected to are but part of
the methods Of reaching this great
object. The responsibilities of gov
eminent should be transferred. 1,
therefore, intellectually support the
republican candidate"
