MARYLAND House Votes
Wet Assistance to
Parched CITY

ANNAPOLIS. Md. March 29.
Delegate Crockett succeeded
yesterday in getting constitu-
tional majority in the house for
his bill to permit tn, sale Of
liquor by druggists in POGO
moke City on prescriptions Of
physicians.
This bill was originally drawn
for the whole of Worcester
county. but the other members
of the delegation from that
county are ultra "dry" and they
objected strenuously. Mr.. Crock
ett then amended the bill so as
to apply only to his home town
of Pocomoke. but his colleagues
remained obdurate and declined
to report the measure out.
Finally Mr.. Crockett succeed
ed in having it brought upon
the floor last week. He ex-
planned that it merely permitted
the sale of liquor rs provided
by the Volstead law. and that
at present the nearest place
where liquor can be obtained in
cases of sickness is Salisbury,
thirty miles away. A majority
of the house stood by him and
substituted the bill for the un-
favorable report and passed it
on to its third reading.

NEW YORK, March 29.-Poor
little Rejane. Perhaps the picture
going public knows little of the in
comparable comedienne who pass
ed away less than two years ago.
And now to see her shadow in the
film called Gypsy Passion" at the
Strand, seems q bit uncanny.
To me 1t did seem gruesome. 1
saw Rejane in the flesh, both In
New York and in her own theatre
in Paris-the delightful little Thea
ire Rejane-and l always revelled
in her splendid performances. She
was Nora, she was Camille and she
was always exquisite.
So the sensation of watching her
playing the role of Romany Kate
in the adaptation Of Jean Richie.
pins story gave me a thrill or two,
and creep" or two, and a pang
or two. The part of Romany Kate
was unlike anything I have ever
seen her play. 1t was frank melo-
drama but the character she so
nobly impersonated pulsed and liv-
ed. 1t was a picture of an old
Gypsy, filled with the lore of her
tribe, loyal to its traditions and
superstitiously alive to its possible.
tiles.
Rejane, made up as the quaint
old woman, her eyes openly aston
ished at the circumstances in which
she found herself, dominated and
somewhat teJune story. She was
eager, authoritative and magnetic.
OF course, every student OF mel
odrama knew precisely how Gypsy
Passion" would end and that the
aristocratic Ivor would ultimately
turn out to be the real Gypsy
whom it was prophesized that Mi
arka, the granddaughter Of Ro-
many Kate, would marry.
Then there was the bear-a won
derful bear who has most real
istic fight with one Of the charac-
ters and comes out victor. 1t Is
too bad to reflect that, to the
many, It will not be the delight
full work of Rejane that will ap-
peal but rather the trained activ-
tiles Of that bear.
Poor Rejane! At the close Of the
picture Romany Kate dies. 1t
seemed as though some ironical
fate had cast the French actress
for this role. 1t is said to be the
only picture part she has ever es-
sayed. Time had lined her features
and worn her figure but her art
still remained.

Ryan introduced q bill in the
