At The Crescent


Never before in the history of the
Crescent Theatre has there appeared
at that playhouse a picture that can
equal 1.-THE Woman In Chains" for
a striking love story that is absolute
iy free from the eternal triangle.
The picture is the work of Edward
lOwings Towne and was adapted from
the book now published under the
title of The Madonna in Chains.
The story is laid in Paris and on
the Isle of Martinique and concerns
the love affairs OF a young artist
planter who leaves his sweetheart
on the Isle Of Romance while he
seeks fame in Partisan art circles.
In Paris he meets and falls in love
with another who is the sweetheart
of an Apache dancer.
Welded to the Apache sweetheart
a child is born and when it is but
two years old the mother deserts the
husband and child to return to her
dancing partner who has but lately
been released from Jail.
Returning to Martinique the ar
list finds his love of yesterday still
waiting his return chained by her
promise to wait for him.
The direction of this production
was handled by William p. Burt
under the supervision of Harry
Grossman.
The lighting and photography are
excellent and was handled by Law
renee Williams. The photoplay is on
the whole a complete dramatic sue
cess from every standpoint and is
far above the average ordinary pro-
lgramme release.

she said.
Major Armitage produced a cigar
from an upper pocket Of his tunic,
bit off the end, and ignited 1t care

MCDONALD DENIES
British Labor Leader Insists that Party Has Not Dropped the Capital Levy Plank.

By The Associated Press.
 London, Nov. t5.-The report in circulation last night that the capital levy plank had been dropped from the program of the labor party. was de- nied today by Ramsay Macdonald, the party's leader in the house of com mons.
 We stand in relation to the capital precisely where we stood at the last election" Mir. Macdonald said. The labor party believes it should be put into operation at once, and only once, for the direct purpose of debt reduc- ton. Ii is thing which could not be repeated, and we have never advocs,- ed it for meeting current expenses.
 AS we have always said, 1t would not be levied by us until the most ex- pert advice regarding the methods to be adopted had been received and considered. but we have not dropped 1t. There is no chance in our attitude regarding it."

ANOTHER STORM BREWING
 IN THE PARIS ART WORLD
Experts Protest that Picture Sup posed to be Original, Was Not
 Painted by David.

Paris, Nov. 15.-Another storm is brewing in the art world of Paris. This one is over the portrait of Mar quise D'Orviller, by David, which has been bequeathed to theA Louvre by Countess FitzJames and accepted by the council of the museum.
 Connoisseurs strongly protest against hanging the picture in the Louvre, asserting that it is not an original. Those taking this view in clude the eminent painters Gabriel Terrier, Henri Gervex and Louis Car rier Belleuse.
 The countess bought the portrait from the Marquise Turrene D'Aynac, a descendant of the marquise, for 100000 francs, although it had been the subject of lawsuit in 1909.
 Another descendant of the Mar quise D'Orviller, Count Audlau sent in that year an unsigned portrait of his ancestress to an exhibition of David's works. The marquis endeavored to obtain court injunction restraining Count Andlau from exhibiting the picture as a David, alleging that his own, which was signed, was the au- thentic one of the two.
 The art experts declared in favor Of the unsigned portrait, saying that the one bearing David's name was obyi- ously a poor copy that had been made by pupil in the artists studio under the guidance of the master. The court, however. -disregarded the opinion of the experts and found that the pie ture which has since been given to the Louvre was an original.
 M Gervex protests to Le Matin against hanging the portrait in the museum. The artist says: ''The au- thenticity of a picture is judged not by the signature but by the quality of the painting. I deplore the fact that when it comes to deciding on the ac- ceptance or purchase of a work by the state, the painters who are the real judges of the matter arc always in a feeble minority on the jury"
