"ST. ELMO" PLEAsES
 MAJESTIC AUDIENCE

What is 1t about book play thal always entertains? Sometimes the writer believes that it is because the book itself has become so well known and beloved that audiences familiar with the book and the story welcome the sight of the characters they have come to love walking as living people across the stage. Un- doubtedly that. has great deal 10 do with it.
 At tho Majestic this week the be- loved characters of "St. Elmo, tne admired book by Augusta J. Evans do seem in reality to come to life under the excellent characterizations of the popular Maddocks-P Park play CTS. The performances Of thls Il1e group of actors who compose tnls company are so true to life ana so appealing that 1t hardly is an ex- aggeration, to say that Augus.a Evans characters do actually come to life, for each actor seems to so feel and live his or her part in the beck play that it amoupts to that for the moment. at least, ana the audience last night seemed to Ieei that way about it. judging from thsir hearty appreciation of the play
 The story idea of "St. Elmo IS welI-known to most readers. for those who do not know lt' IL is briefly the story of man haraenea by disappointment. This man IS o' Elmo Murray, man of great Weaith He is a bitter man. sarcastic ana with hard words ever at the ena of a bitter tongue until Edna Earl' a simple and sweet woman rom tns mountains comes to his home anu teaches him to love humanity "a gan and to give fo her the big love or n great and lonesome soul. Of courss. it is not all serious. for truly great author has made many humor- ous incidents to occur in the story which are shown in this play wish a humor that is greatly enjoyed.
 Mae Parks plays Edna Earl in her usual sincere way. Karl Hachel is leading man. and most of the com rany rave attractive roles, As IS generally the case, the settings or the play are excellent.

 Bull Montana. the comedian who can make things funny just with a change of expression on his roughish face enacts down -and-outer who becomes the cheer secretary and voIunteers to introdece the well meaning good cheer" worker to his gang. The gang are a tough looking bunch and the way they acton sey- erai occasions and especially at a theatre party is sure-fire fun.

Miss May Is well supported, several of the support being prominent as char acter actors. Hallam Cooley is a manly hero and Otis Harlan is fine as the fat and much imposed upon father.

 Something out of the ordinary .n dancing is the thrilling dance act
 Patches" In. this several varieties of dancing are presented of differ ent times and nationalit.es, and some of such stirring quality that the spectator forgets himself in en 1 joyment. Aside from the presenta- ton. the background of this note worthy with the two owls, stage high

 A well-appreciated and enjoyable act
 A quartet of good singers Is usual ly q foregone success. In the act of Jean Shirley and boys, the quar- tet Jean and three men make is an enjoyable feature of the whole bill. The men are in types, a sissy, a "yiddish" and a beau, and they get a
 good deal of humor out of these types This presentation has humor
 singing and dancing and is very
 good spot on the bill.

"THE BAT" COMING TO
 JEFFERSON NEXT WEEK

The greatest dramatic success in generations, ''The Bat" by Mary Rob erts Rhinehart and Avery Hopwood, will be presented by Wagenhals 6 Kemper at the Jefferson theatre on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday nights and Wednesday matinee, be- ginning on Monday. October 24.
 "The Bat" now in its second year in New York and with record of one solid year in Chicago to its cred 1t, has smashed, not only theatrical traditions, but records as well.

More than 100000 have paid something more than s1,500 900 to see 1t. And the end is nowhere in sight.
 "The Bat" comes here heralded by critics and public alike as the greatest play of its kind ever pro- duced. And it more than lives up to its reputation.

''THE TRUTH ABOUT HUSBANDS" AT IIIn IIlI A MN THIS XNEI.K

"1he Truth About Husbands" at the Trianon this week is a photoplay that draws life as 1t is rather than hs it should be, at least in number of cases. Adapted from the famous drama, The Profligate," the screen drama is also the story of protli- gate.
 The story is told in an absorbing manner and the result is q drama that is a great lesson in life to those who would have wished to know the truth about husbands. This is no place for q discussion as to the mer- its of the case whether the profiigate as portrayed in this Is in generally true enough to be called the truth about all husbands. it need only to be said here that, however that may be. the picture itself is entertaining, very.
 At the beginning of the story man still in heartless batchelor days is finding out life, lesson for which someone must pay" The girl who is to pay is a girl of the weak and emotional rather than deliberate ly wicked type. Men, < subtitle says, are not born to marriage, but rather achieve it after learning from Q se- ries of false relations. every hus- band has sins to expatiate and a wife | should be human and broad enough to understand. Then the narrative takes the batchoior into real love affair and the oerienees that fol- low are the natural outcome of earlier relations.
 Holmes Herbert is strong and fas- cinating in his role as husband and erstwhile profligate. May McAvoy is a fine type of girl for the love that first inspires the pure flame; she is real beauty and of diamond hardness that would attract a man of the world The emotional girl is well portrayed by 8 pretty actress and Two Dawson makes very hu- morous "rotter."

Talleyrand. the witty Frenchman
whose sharp and pointed sallies kept

made a visit to America In the days
before he laid aside the bishops lawn

New York and was invited to break

POSED to adventure into the wilder
Jess. Even in those days New York
ad begun to draw sartorial distinc-

peechlessness when Talleyrnnd

One tradition asserts that he wrote a

there is 10 proof of il. None of the

Christian writings dating from the
Apostolic ages. Our English Bibles.
Old and New Revised Versions, are
translated from the original languages.
The Old Testament was most SERUM
