BELASCO-"First Love-"


First Love-" Fay Bainter's new
play which opened last night at the
Belasco Theater, is characterized by a
moral tone that the period is pleased
to call French.
The big feature of First Love- is
its casting. In this respect, as in cast
ing. the ShubertS have done we'll by
the piece that leaped from the pen of
Louis Verneuil as pile ou Face.
Fay Banter, cast as a cocotte, whose
energies are concentrated on loving
a bankrupt young songwriter, does a
charming piece of work. perhaps the
most effective of her career
Bruce McFae is up to the Bruce
McRae standard, which is always
high. Godfrey Kerr, who is getting
to be a regular caller in Washington
is cast as the young song writer and
unconventional lover of the exuberant
MaiCa.
George Marion is back with his ever.
interesting fair for comedy and scores
laughs in spite of the fact that his
place in the story is subordinate. His
mobile countenance enables him to
throw hints of meaning into the vary
ing scenes, and without speaking he
serves almost the purpose of a Greek
chorus.
First Love" has an airiness about
IL that must appeal strongly to the
admirers of the old French comedies,
which found sentiment as well as fun
In situations which must in all candor
be defined as non-Puritanical.

Quiet Buying Movement Car

NEW YORK. December GAS

market during the last session prevl'
bus to the Christmas holiday, worked
toward higher levels. There was no
excited bidding up of prices. but a
quiet buying movement which carried
most issues above yesterdays closing
quotations.
Two Of the outstanding strong spots
were Union Oil of California and Al
iantic Refining. The manner In wnlcn
these stocks were bought indicated
that there was something more than
mere speculative gossip back OF the
revival Of merger rumors concerning
these two properties.
Other oil shares were in better de.
mand with General Asphalt. Marland
and Standard of New Jersey prom
tnent. United States Steel common
moved forward q half point and the
upward movement in General Motors
kept on. The usual number Of in
dustrial specialties were taken In
hand and bid up a half point or so.
Because Of the departure last night
of many traders from the Wall Street
district preparatory to the holiday. 1t
was not surprising that the market
should have remained comparatively
quiet. However, no weakness was
apparent in any quarter and changes
for the part continued on the side
Of rising prices.
Atchison was bought at new high
prices in anticipation Of favorable
dividend action. 1t was evident from
the manner in which Erie first and
second preferred were bought at the
top prices for the year that the Street
believed something good was in store
or shareowners. Seaboard Air Line
common came to the front and New
FORK Central started forward again.

He was sitting SO near Marie

perfume of her came to him
like the delicate scent of flower.
1t was breath of crushed
violets, sweet as the air he was
breathing. violets gathered in the

nAVID was mad. He was mad
~ clear through, according to
his own statement, and he had
perfectly good reason for his
anger, too.
He had recently come home
from a two weeks stay in the
country and had brought along a
lot Of interesting things that he
had gathered in the woods and
fields. He had an ear of red
corn. And there was a birds
nest with four little speckled eggs
inside; there was a box Of moss
and some pieces of grape vine
that he especially treasured.
Then he met his best friend
down on the corner and asked
him to come to the house and see
what he had found on his visit to
the country. Both little boys had
come running into the house and
up the steps to David's own small
room. But when they got there
all of his treasures were gone.
Mother, where are all my
things?" he called.
"What things? You mean that
trash that you left scatter ed
around your room?"
ut wasn't trash. What did you
do with ito" demanded David.
"You mind how you speak to

mother. II threw that dead moss

He wondered If she had gone

It was on the spur. Of care

to fight Bateese, and with little
thought that it was likely to be
carried out or that it would be-
come a matter of Importance with
all of st. Pierre's brigade. He
was evidently in for it, he told
himself, and as a fighting man it
looked as though Concombre
Bateese was at least the equal of
his braggadocio. He was glad of
that.
He grinned as he watched the
bending backs of st. Pierre's men.
SO they were betting 80 to
against him. Even st. Pierre
might be induced to bet-with
him. And If he did
The hot blood leaped for a mo-

thrill went to the tips of his fin
gers. He stared out over the
river, unseeing, as the POSSIBLE
ties of the thing that had come
into his mind made him for d mo-
ment oblivious Of the world. He
possessed one thing against which
st. Pierre and st. Pierre's wife
would wager a half of all they
owned in the world! And If he
should gamble that one thing,
which had come to him like IN
inspiration, and should whip
Bateese-
He began to pace back and
forth over the narrow deck, no
longer watching the rowers or
the shore. The thought grew,
and his mind was consumed by
it. Thus far, from the moment
the first shot was fired at him
from the ambush, he had been
playing with adventure in the
dark. But fate had at last
dealt him a trump card. That
something which he possessed was
more precious than furs or gold
to St Pierre, and St. Pierre
would not refuse the wager when
it was offered. He would not
dare refuse.
More than that, he would ac-
cept eagerly. strong in the faith
that Bateese would whip him as
he had whipped all other fight
ers who had come up against
him along the Three Rivers.
And when Marie-Anne knew what
that wager was to be. she. too,
would pray for the gods Of
chance to be with Concombre
Bateese!
