Boasts of Holding
Record for Thr0sfaipgs

LONDON. Feb. so.-There is a
man In London who maintains he re-
ceived more lickings at school when
boy than any man in the metrop-
oils and he made that statement for
very definite purpose. He was
arguing before the Metropolitan
Asylum board against corporal pun
ishment In public Institutions for
children and while not exactly
holding himself up as horrible ex-
ample. said he would have succeed
ed in life much easier had he been
"caned" less.
His average was three whippings
daily and his list OF trivial offenses
was a close parallel. to the infrac-
tions that brought persuasive cor
reetion some years ago In the HIT
tie red schoorhouses in the United
States.

MY Lady's Latchkey." q spirited
romantic melodrama derived by
First National from c. y. and A. NJ.
williamson's novel. The Second
Latchkey," as a particularly effec-
tive starring vehicle for Katherine
Macdonald, was presented as chief
feature OF the weeks photoplay bill
at Crsndalrs Metropolitan Theater
yesterday before audiences that at
tained overflow proportions despite
the incipient blizzard that ushered
in a belated winter. An unusually
diverting supplementary feature
was supplied in a new bonneville

cape" in which all of the interest
ing characters of Fontaine Fox's
inimitable cartoons are skillfully
impersonated.
The element OF mystery is stress
ed at the very outset OF Ny Ladys

famous blue diamond aboard the
:. $. Monarchic, just nearing the
cliffs of Dover. No clue TO the
identity Of the marauder is disclos-
ed until the story is well under
way and Annesley GrayIe. a young
woman in quest Of romantic adven-
ture. has plighted her troth TO a
strange but polished young gentle
man who has appealed by odd
means to her sympathies and her
love. By an astonishing succession

she has unwittingly become the inno-
cent tool of one of the most daring
bands of jewel thieves known to
the police. At this juncture ro-
nance takes the reins from the fall
tering hands of adventure, and
evolves a climax and denouement
that stamps My Lady's Latchkey"
as one Of the most deftly written
and most expertly developed photo=
dramas the season has brought to
the screen.
Miss Macdonald. whose personal
attributes are such as to have gain
ed her eminence among the fore
most OF the feminine stars of silent
drama, has never been filmed to
greater artistic advantage than In
the leading role of this engrossine
tale of a love that triumphed over
seemingly insuperable obstacles.

Thomas Jefferson. as the victim Of
the plunderers' operations, and
Claire Du Brey. as a sinister rival

that are sharply contrasted.
The production is one that pre-
sents a wide variety Of scenes, both
interior and exterior, that are uni
formly in consonance with the spirit
and the movement of the story ana
revelatory of an especially high
quality Of photography.
In addition to the amusing COM
