A Vital Question in Big Fox Play.


The theme of "Should a Husband For
give?", the big William Fox special
which will be seen today and tomorrow
at the Princess Theatre, follows the line
of thought indicated in the title.
The great question, "Should a Hus-
band Forgiven" is one of academic inter
est to all married persons and to those
contemplating matrimOny. No matter
how little a person may be affected per
sonally by this question, the tendency to
imagine ones self as the central figure
of q dramatic situation makes the ques-
ton one of universal interest.
Whether a husband should forgive is
perhaps the most important of all ques-
tions affecting married life. Many homes
have been wrecked because a husband re-
fused to forgive on his wife's confession,
Again, countless lives have been wrecked
because the wife weakly tried to conceal
her past from her husband, only to have
it discovered under aggravated circum-
stances.
The an-star cast includes Miriam
Cooper, Mrs. James X. Hackett, Martha
Mansfield famous beauty of Zegfeld
Follies), and James A Marcus.
The scenes of sporting life include a
sensational horse race, staged at Hot
Springs, Arkansas, and a boxing match

1t Is suspected that the first coat worn
by man was a coat of paint. But the

perhaps being to make the lower half of

by no means stop at that.

The first workers in the quicksilver

sulphide of the latter metal, which we
call vermillion. Great stuff for war paint,
as for other uses.

A beautiful white paint was obtained

PLATINUM THEFTS
FROM COLLEGES
Middlebury, University of Vermont
and Amherst Stocks Entirely
Cleaned Out.

BOSTON, Julys26.-A new type of or
ganized thieving which in scope rivals
the great automobile thefts came to
light Yesterday, when it was made known
that Harvard college laboratories and the
laboratories of colleges in all parts of the
country had been Systematically robbed
of their valuable platinum supply and
equipment.
While Harvard did not fare as badly
as some of her sister institutions, devel-
opments show that the laboratories of
Middlebury college at Middlebury, VT,
at the University of Vermont, at Amherst
Agricultural college and the University
of Missouri were completely cleaned out
The losses it is said will aggregate
many hundreds of thousand of dollars.
Investigation shows that both Middle
bury college and the University of Yer
mont were cleaned out within two days
of each other, while the robberies at the
other institutions came at different in
tervals during the past several months.
AT Harvard, along with the wholesale
raid, several petty cases of platinum
thieving have been run down and in one
instance student was arrested. He had
tried to unload his loot at a pawn shop
on Hanover street, Boston.
The articles of value stolen were
largely platinum receptacles and plati-
mum wire. A tiny platinum cup no
larger than tea cup and almost as thin
as tinfoil is valued at more than $500
Every effort made by the police au-
thorities to run down the gang has been
in vain. The thieves leave not the slight
est clue behind and the police are baffled
at every turn.
