The Late Mr.. Firpo.

The Bull of the Pampas goes back
to his Pamp', siugger defeated who
ought to be champ; for never had
man such a wonderful right" and
he is the terror that walketh by
night. Oh. he's an assassin, a muir
derous lad! Alas for the training
that got him in bad. They wired
him Instructions from Argentine's
strand, they told him by mail how
to use either hand; by registered
letters they guided his feet, and told
him by wireless what things he
should eat. They sent him blue
prints and an engineers maps, and
volumes by Euclid and other old
chaps And Firpo had Dempsey SO
plaguey near out that Jack only
needed an opportune clout; biff
on the beezer, swat on the chin,
and Firpo, the Bull of the Pampas,
would win! But while he was striv-
ing the rules to recall, the cable
grams, letters, and postcards and
all, and groping around in the back
of his head for pointers and counsel
that somebody said, Jack Dempsey
revived from his ladylike swoon,
and pricked all his hopes as you
prick balloon. The Bull will come
back when he's rested a spell, all
ready to scrap at the sound of the
bell, and if he is trained in a sensible'
way, I'll say to Jack Dempsey, Good
night" and Good day!"

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, October s.
Grover Cleveland Bergdoll is coming
back to the United States and face
the music"
This information comes from Mrs
Emma c. Bergdoll, mother of the
draft dodger, who has returned to
her home here after spending ten
weeks in Germany with her son. She
arrived in New York yesterday.
Mrs Bergdoll told of her sons
plans to sail for this country as her
steamer neared New York. Upon ar
riving at home she retired to her
room and begged to be excused from
further interviews until she had had
time to rest.
I'm few days" she said, III issue
a complete statement.
Made Friends ON Ship.
According to the officers of the ship
Mrs. Bergdoll made many friends
during the trip and was particularly
kind to the steerage passengers, buy
ing large quantities of fruit and per-
sonally carrying it down to them.
She travelled alone in an inside
stateroom and spent most of her time
on deck reading.
please. please. 1 don't feel well
today" she protested at first when
the newspaper men tried to get a
statement.
Well. don't you want to let the
people of America know how you feel
about Grover" one of the men asked
AT this her face frightened. "Ach-
Grover---he is just waiting for the
shooting case to be cleared up to
come back to his home here. He is
eager to come"
But he will have to face imprison-
ment or punishment, you know" she
was told.
Eager to Come Home.
He will take whatever comes to
him. The poor boy Is anxious to get
back to his own. home-to the place
where he was born.
Grover was with me in Heidel-
berg" Mrs. Bergdoll told reporters.
He is sad because his own country
to his eyes when he saw me.
II have persuaded him to come
back. oh, I do hope those persons
here who would persecute him will
let him alone. He has suffered ter
ribly and is ready to take what is
coming to him. The war is over, but
so many cannot accept that fact.
Why must they continually persecute
my boy?'
She said there was no doubt Grover
would start for this country as soon
in which he was involved recently, is
cleared up in the German courts.
Mrs. Bergdoll' made no reference
to the $1,300.000 estate of her son in
the hands of the alien property GUS
todian. That is regarded as one of
the reasons why Grover is willing to
return and face the music"

POLA NEGRI SCORES
TRIUMPH IN BELLA DONNA.'

Pola Negri's first appearance in
an American made Paramount Aic-
ture, Bella Donna" produced by
George Fitzmaurice, will be tha at
traction at the Rylander theater on
Thursday and Friday. In the cast
with Miss Negri are some of the
foremost Paramount stars, inclld-
ing Conway Tearle, Conrad Nagel
and Lois Wilson.
In this absorbing perturbation
of Robert Kitchens novel, Miss
Ncgri marries a young Egnlishman
who has just returned from an eX-
petition in the Egyptian desert. On
their honeymoon they return to
that country so that Nagel may
continue his work. The East lays
a hypnotic spell on Bella Donna
and when she meets Mahamoud
Baroudi, intensely dramatic events
ensue.
The love affair between the pair
continues for a period, when Ba-
roudi suggests that Bella Donna
free herself by poisoning her hus-
band. Nigel is wasting away as
the result of the slow poisoning
but is saved by the intervention
of his friend DIR. Isaacson. Learn
ing the truth, Nigel casts out his
wife, who now free, makes her
way to Baroudi's camp. He, how
ever, is with another woman, and
Ibrutally orders her away. Bella
Donna goes out alone into the des-
ert a tragic figure.
Today's picture at the Rylander
is Elinor Glvn's story of Holly
wood, "The Worlds a Stare" and
a two-reel comedy, pardon My
