Dan Coleman, the wit of the EN-

ing exponent of the Irish wit on
the American stage today to Perth

1t all happened in Greenwich Viii
Iage. A man with an inventive turn
of mind loved a maid with q fixed OBJ
session. She wanted to interest peo-
pie of wealth and refinement in her
welfare scheme and he wanted her
to have what she wanted. But-likc
the classic cat in the well--for every
step he advanced he went back two.
The party he gave to- advance her
theory ended in disaster. The $50
ciety people" he sought to interest
turned out to be crooks. When, in
desperation, he tried to alleviate her
disappointment by a trick, she dis
covered the deception and refused
to forgive him and. added to that, he
became an object of suspicion9o the
police and an object of interest to
the newspapers. Taking advantage
of the girls resentment toward her
lover. a gambler who had horned
his way into Greenwich Village So
ciety induced her to visit his home
still in the interest or her theory.
Finding out that she was there, our
hero followed her there. On his
trail were the police SO he nearly
forced upon her the humiliation of
becoming the victim of police raid.
In the end he rescued the girl and
turned the tables on the villain. and
is dragged before a magistrate and
sentenced to happiness for life."
This feature will be shown at the
Ditmas theatre.

THEATRES
At the Strand

The most recent of super-film
plays, Passion" which opens an en-
gagement at the Strand theatre to-
morrow, is said to mark a new epoch
in motion pictures. Passion" is an
intimate version of the story of
little French milliner who rose to a
position commanding a king and af-
fecting the destinies of a nation. 1t
Is presented as an Associated First
National attraction and it comes to
this city with an actual record for
establishing new ideals in screen
production. Aside from its reputed
new technical perfections there is a
depth of panoramic perspective
hitherto unknown to the silversheet
and instanced by the passion of
huge mobs rising in their might to
overthrow the mighty, and of which
there have been plenty of demon
strations lately in the form of strikes
cnd rebellions. One Of the big scenes
in this photodramatic spectacle is
the storming of a mammoth barri-
caded prison by mob of 5000 i'm
passioned citizens, all of which be-
comes doubly impressive and realis-
tic through the stereoscopic charac-
ter of the new photography which
displaces the fiat photography that
so often makes the illusion difficult.
BY this system are picturized not
only shadows and reflections, but
bodies and scenes which seem en-
dowed with their true dimensions,
it is said. This novelty within itself
should mark a distinct novelty which
will arouse wide .interest since the
progress of the cinema development
is being so closely watched by inter-
ested millions of devotees.

REJECT NAMING
OF MRS. DONCES
v. J. Senate Turns Down Her
Appointment to the State
Board of Education.
IBy EysnIns Nsw. corre.pondsnt.

IBy Evening News Correspondentl
TRENTON, March 30.-By a vote
OF 13 to 5, on strict party lines. the
senate yesterday rejected the nomi-
nation sent to it by Governor Ed
wards Of Mrs. Raymond Donges, OF
Camden county, to be a member of
the State Board OF Education. Mrs.
Donges is a Democrat and in a poll
teal speech some time ago, is re-
ported TO have declared that in FIVE
years she would "unhorse" David
Baird. the South Jersey Republican
leader.
Various reasons were advanced
yesterday as the motive of the ac-
ton of the senate Republicans IN re-
jecting the nomination. One of them
was to the effect that the nominees
speech about Mr.. Baird was the rea-
son for her rundown. When asked
about this. Senator Wallworth OF
Camden. who opposed confirmation
in the executive session of the SEN
ate. denied that Mrs. Donges had
said about the Camden leader was
responsible. for the senate's action.
"Mr. Baird has been very broad
in the matter" stated Mr.. Wallworth.
My reasons for opposing her name
were the universal protests received
II Jill tACA lOOLS anu TtSlQGIlS VI
Merchantville where Mrs. Donges re-
sides"
Questioned further as to the ma
ture of these protests, the Camden
senator declared that they seemed
to say that the nominee was not fit
ted. by temperament, to be a mem-
ber OF the State Board of Education.
The fact that she is a Democrat had
nothing to do with her rejection, de-
clared Mr.. Wallworth, when he was
asked to give the names of the Mer-
chantville people who had opposed
her confirmation, he refused.
II look upon them as confidential"
ne stated, "and therefore do not
think can give them out. There
were three or four hundred letters
as well as numerous telephone calls.
They were not from the county at
large, but all from Merchantville."
The Republican senators twice
notified Governor Edwards to with
draw Mrs. Donges' name, but he re-
fused and they then rejected it.
