Mother Died During War;
Foreign WV. CA. Envovs
Arrive Aboard kroonland

A happy but unusual meeting between
1ather and daughter. during which an
interpreter had to tell each one how
glad the other was over the reunion.
took place last night on the Red Star
line kroonland. which arrived from
Antwerp. Cherbourg and SOUTHAMPTON.
An hour before the vessel docked
John spence, of Unionville, Chester
County, Pa, came to the pier to meet
1he kroonland, which was bringing to
TINS country Mary Louise Spence, his
seventeen -year-old daughter, whom he
had not seen in nine years. Mr.. Spence
IS the manager of Brooklawn Farm, the
country estate of Mrs. W. T. Stewart
near Unionville.
lie was not sure that he would know
ms daughter when the ship docked.
and the girl herself. leaning over the
ran scanning the faces of the crowd on
,oc pier, wondered which of the men
below might be her father. When they
were formally introduced the robust
young glrl with rosy cheeks and long,
raven curls stepped back and looked
at her daddy. Then in French the onlv
tongue she knows, she said: as this
really my father? would not know
nm l knew | would not know him.
But l am very happy to be with him"
Kisses Him on Faith
Then tears found their way to her
cheeks, and throwing her arms around
her father, whom she accepted on faith.
she kissed him and repeated in French
ger JOY over being with him. Mr.
spence himself showed some emotion
and spoke to his daughter in English,
She seemed confused for the moment
but when his words of welcome were
translated for her she hugged him
again and said: Il much sorry. No
speak English"
When the baggage of the girl was
passed by the customs officials the in
terpreter told her how her father had
motored to meet her and that she would
start with him in his car for her new
home in Unionville.
Mr.. Spence said his wife, who was
French, went on a visit to her home in
France nine years ago, taking Mary
Louise with her. She died while France
was at war and the daughter was
reared by her mothers relatives.
Another surprise awaits the girl to-
day, when she will meet her brother
who is now in college here, and who
like her father, speaks no French.

picture with settings by Urban.
We do not believe that any one

that Sophie Kerr wrote the story. that
Luther Reed wrote the scenario. that
Robert Nignola directed the picture,
and that the Cosmopolitan Productions
created it.

not find Turpin funny, because every

This is a prologue to the feature.
There is also a light orchestral selec-
tion called "The Drummer's Escape"
Some time ago an interesting French
picture called "Miarka, the Child of the
Bear" was shown mere at Town Hall.
1t was adapted from Jean Richepin's
story, and Nine. Rejane was seen as
Romany Kate, an old gypsy. 1t was
made just before Rejane died and is
said to be her only screen appearance.
Now Nitagraph has acquired this pic
ture and is calling it Gypsy Passion"
1t is the feature at the Strand and it
continues to be very superior picture,
although the present title does not hold
the attention as "The Child of Bear"
did. There is a suggestion worth look
ing into.
Rejane gives q splendid performance
and intelligence and sincerity marks
the production throughout. 1t doesn't
matter what you believe so long as you
do believe it, and in spite of the fact
that the story is fantastic it is abso-
lutely convincing. A beautiful young
woman named Desdcmona Mazza is
seen as Miarka and the handsome Ivor
Novello is the young count who turns
out to be the king of the gypsies. Jean
Richpn is seen as the old count who
studied gypsy lore.
