Marie coreIIfs Appeal

1t cannot be said that a light OF
literature went out with the passing
of Marie Corelll. but 1t will be Impos-
sible for the historian who essays to
describe the literary taste of her gem
GRAFTON to Ignore the author of 1.-THE
Romance of Two Worlds" Her ap-
peal was not to the intellectual elite.
and yet she was one Of the favorite
novelists Of Queen Victoria, was found
fascinating by the exquisite Elizabeth
of Austria, was read by the elegant
Alexandra Of England. This royal
favor denotes nothing as to the ar
tistry of her work, but it signifies the
remarkable cathollcity of her appeal,
declares the New York Evening World.
The melodramatic quality, the weird
touch of mystery, were enough to
have placed her among the best sell
ers" But her vogue has been due in
large measure to the splritualism
which permeates her novels.
The queen In the castle and the
peasant in the cabin are alike in a
hunger for Impressions Of the life be-
yond. Miss Corelli mlnistered to this
desire to penetrate the veil. What
ever the critics may think or say, they
cannot deny her the distinction that
few among the greater artists have
shared, of numbering her followers
from the man with the hoe to the
woman with the tiara and the crown.

THEATERS
OF RARE BEAUTY !
AND STRENGTHAT DIR

There came to the d & R theater
yesterday a picture that we urge all
Of our readers to see, because in our
estimation it has not been excelled
as an emotional photodrama, and be-
cause it contains the finest cast that
we have ever beheld in a single pro-
duction.
The offering is Lilies Of the
Field" a First National picture CO.
featuring Corinne Griffith and Con-
way Tearle, supported by Sylvia
Dreamer, Myrtle Stedman, Alma Ben
nett, Phyllis Haver, Cissy Fitzger-
aid, Edith Ransom and Charles Ger
rad. All Of these names are familiar
to you, and we believe you will agree
with us that they represent a cast
Of unusual excellence.
Lilies of the Field" was adapted
from the stage success by William
Hurlburt, and directed by John Fran
els Dillon, who made Flaming
Youth"
If we have ever seen screen story
with such a gripping quality we can
not recall it. "Lilies of the Field"
is the story of a beautiful young
wife who, patiently bearing mis-
treatment at the hands of her hus-
band, is deserted by him and robbed
Of her child. Unable to find him, she
resigns herself to her fate and tries
to untangle the snarled skein of her
life. A great love comes into her
life, just as she is being sucked into
the whirlpool of forgetful gayety, and
through this love the happiness she
has lost is restored to her.
There is a humaness about this
picture which will endear it to all
those who see it.

Bermuda Described az

When one Is planning trip to Ber-

Is the remark generally attributed to

weather on the Atlantic. Whatever ex-
ception the Atlantic may interpose to

no one will ever quarrel with his de-

against Brandeis, sent to Senator Gull
committee dealing with the nomina-
tion, in which the president intimated
that the principal group of opposition
to Brandeis was purely racial. Mr..
Tumulty disclosed another incident
which he said the president had after
wards laughingly related to him of an
occurrence at a dinner rendered in
Washington by Secretary McAdoo at
which Justice Brandeis, whose nomi-
nation was then under fire, was one of
the guests.
"For some time it had been known
to the president that several of the
justices of the Supreme Court were
bitterly opposed to Brandeis becoming
enc of their colleagues and that they
we're exerting their influence to op-
pose him. The leader of this group of
Justices was also in attendance at the
Inner and the president said he
noticed that this particular justice
was very carefully trying to avoid
meeting Brlndcis and was snubbing
him. The president, thereupon, him
self took Brandefs by the arm am led
him to the justice and said, permit me
to introduce to you Mr.. Brandeis, your
next colleague on the bench The
president was much amused in relat-
ing to me the justices great ensuing
embarrassment.
Mr.. Tumulty declared that although
he had not kept personally in touch
with the Peace Conference in Europe,
the president having been assisted in
those matters by others, he knew def
nitely that it was largely due to presi-
dent Wilson'S influence that the claim
for Jewish Homeland in Palestine
had been recognized by the powers,
later resulting in the British mandate.
Besides Brandeis, the president
also entertained great admiration and
feelings of friendship for Rabbi Step
hen s. Wise, who made frequent trips
to Washington, when he was received
by the president at the White House.
One of the first opinions expressed by
Wilson when he entered the political
life as governor of New Jersey" Tu-
multy stated, twas that Jews had not
received sufficient political recognition
and thereupon Immediately appointed
a Jew, Samuel Kalisch of Newark, to
the Supreme Court of New Jersey, on
which Jew had never sat before.
This was one of Wilson's first official
acts as governor"
