tains. But. make no mistake.-there
Is nothing guide-bookish about IT.
Hugh Wiley is not interested in CIV
ing you the Atmosphere" OF the
locality. Rather he is interested In
telling you vivid, fantastic stories Of
the Oriental5 who live there. Each
story deals with personalities and
with sudden tragedies. or at least
crises. They are swift-moving tales,
full OF intrigue. love and revenge, the
sort OF thing to read when you want
to get far away from humdrum life.
Yet they are not strikingiy original.
We have already learned through fic-
tion OF Oriental subtlety in revenge.
of the fact that no Chinaman will
allow the graves of his ancestors to
be deseerated. and of Oriental lack OF
feeling (from our point of view) in
the matter OF paying Gut an enemy.
And all these things, and some Others
equally well established. are set forth
in these stories. In fact the only
one of the collection that struck us
as new was Junk" in which a China
man suddenly appears with human
feelings-that is, human according to
western standards. And Junk" II
so happens. is the story that we en-
joyed most Of the lot. 1t is not so

preston. Yet it has theatrical
qualities which should make it a
much better acting than reading play,
and the old legend Of the WANDERING
Jew has enough lingering romance
10 carry a play far. Probably the
trouble is that 1t has not enough
dramatic unity. not enough definite
progression to the climax. 1t Is
written in -four phases" rather
loosely hung together. And the
chief aim seems to be to achieve
pictorial rather than emotional ef-
fects. Probably one of its great
est weaknesses, however, Is its
attempt to reproduce a speech that
is supposed to express antiquity. The
result Is merely a certain irritation
with an unnecessarily oblique way
of saying things. For all that, there
is a great deal of beauty in the
drama, and 1t would not be half so
were there not so much
good mixed with the mediocre.

cipal court Tuesday afternoon, the

The plaintiff claimed damages in the
sum of $64. the value Of suit of
clothes, and the action was based on
the question of the liability of q
boarding house keeper for the care
and safety of the personal belong
inss of a roomer. Judge s. S. Ian
caster appeared as counsel for the
plaintiff, while the defendant was
represented by Attorney Burleigh
Martin.
The plaintiff claimed that the de-
PENDANT who conducted the board

roomed on Bond street, had negli-
gently put another man in with him
as room mate and that the other
| man shortly afterwards stole Mr.
Dreczko's suit Of clothes, disappear
ed and has not been heard from
since.
Testimony regarding hiring the
room from Mr.. Szady in October
| 1921 was offered by Mr.. Dreczko. He
stated that Mr.. Szady a little later
had notified him that he was going
to put another man in the room with
him. The complainant testified that

man and did not even know his
name, but that the fellow had gone
off carrying Drcczko's suit of clothes

The defense showed that the
boarding house on Bond street is
owned by the Edwards Manufacture
ing Co. and here Mr.. Szady provides
rooms for employees of the mill. Mr.
SZady's business relation is that Of
boarding the men for stated sum
per week. 1t appeared that the man
In question came to the house as
many other employees of the mill and
as far as was communicated to Mr..
SZady, his character was all right.
Mr.. Szady testified that Mr.. Dreczko
had made no objections when told
that another man was to be put in his
room. Defendant did not deny that
the suit of clothes had been stolen,
but did pot see how he was respon-
siblc At the close of tho testimony
the case was submitted without ar
guments.
The Court found for the defendant,
stating that in a boarding house Of
the kind that this appeared TO be. he
believed it to be encumbent on the
plaintiff to show that the defendant
had knowledge or should have had
knowledge of the mans character.
Having failed to do that. the decis-
ion should be for the defendant.
