AT THE ALDINE.

In why Girls Leave Home" the
current attraction at the Aldine
theatre. Market at Eighth street,
two girls take the step one because
she cannot stand the unreasoning
'narrowness and bitter cruelty OF a
father. the other because, spoiled
and neglected by worldly, careless
parents, she seeks new forms OF eN-
citement. One girl has been unjust
ly accused Of theft; the other has
had every luxury that money could
obtain. yet the latter is saved from
ruin by the girl of humble origin. It
is a fine study in character contrasts
and II is heightened by a stirringly
dramatic background. The cabaret
scenes are particularly well ham
died, while the scene in an opium
den where an irate father thrashes
the man whom he believes has
led his daughter astray is a thrill
er OF new sort. Anna @.
Nilsson, one OF the most talented
and beautiful women on the screen
enacts the role Of the shop girl who
has been falsely accused Of theft
and she gives a performance that is
as appealing as It is intelligent.
Mavrine Powers as the spoiled, petted
child Of wealthy parents is an able
foil for Miss Nilsson. while Julia
Swayne Gordon makes much OF the
role OF card-playing mother
Claude King gives another OF the
admirable portraits for which he is
noted as the stern father and the
other roles are in capable hands.

comes out his way. viii prove the
first milestone in n lifelong career in
politics.
II have always wanted TO 70 into

his ambitions. "Rack in 1914, when !
entered Yale, ] Logan TO pick out

ing fer me. When I took up the study
Of law at Columbia, | had no in
tention OF practising but wanted
to obtain a groundwork for an ca.

by way Of starter. he went to
the Republican National Convention
as secretary to Herbert Parsons and
later 10 Charles u. lIiles. Now he is
getting acquainted with district lead

to the assembly, he. hopes 10 stay
there for several terms, ito get right

any desire FOR o senatorial toga.
According 10 tradition. the senior
Mr.. Dawson should violently oppose
his sons political ambitions and seek
to chase him along the trail Of the
elusive dollar. But he is doing moth
