A Bitter Struggle
After that Carrigan lived
through an eternity of unrest, a
life in which he seemed power
less and yet was always strug-
Cling for supremacy over things
that were holding him down.
There were lapses in it, like the
hours Of oblivion that come with
sleep, and there were other times
when he seemed keenly alive, yet
unable to move or act.
The darkness gave way to
flashes of light, and in these
flashes he began to see things,
curiously twisted, fleeting, and
yet fighting themselves insis-
tently upon his senses.
He was back in the hot sand
again, and this time he heard the
voices Of Jeanne Marie-Anne and
Golden-Hair, and Golden-Hair
Haunted a banner in his face, u

she would run away from him,

he could see Of her was her hair
flaming like fire in the sun. But
it was always the other-the
dark hair and dark eyes-that
came to him when the little devils
returned to assault him with their
arrows.
From somewhere she would
come out of darkness and frighten
them away. He could hear her
voice like whisper in his ears,
and the touch of her hands COM
forted him and quieted his pain.
After a time he grew to be afraid
when the darkness swallowed her
up, and in the darkness he would

Into Oblivion
Then came a long oblivion. He
floated through cool space away
from the imps Of torment; his
bed was of downy clouds. and on
these clouds he drifted with
great shining river under him;
and at last the cloud he was in

ELLEN YOUNG-Irish Poet.

When Ellen Young, poetess and
high priestesS of Irish folklore, ap-
peared on the stage of the Belasco
yesterday afternoon, she faced an
audience OF scholarly men and of
women wise enough to vote. By the
time she had made her stately little
bow of departure it was apparent that
for the minute modern wisdom had
given way to an allaround belief in
fairies. For, by some magic, she had
touched the muted strings of Tara s
harp and awakened the melodies of a
primitive life-the love and tears and
laughter of an Erin of saints and in
scrutably wise little people''-Set to
ancient Gaelic tradition and verse.
As beginning. she told Of Donegal,
on the west coast of Ireland, where
the people never so TO sleep at nights
without putting a cup of food or drink
on the outside of a window for the
fairies about. If the cup is empty
in the morning, the fairies have feast
ed. If the food remains untouched, It
means that the fairies We're not hun
CRY, but have taken note of the friend
liness of the house people. and passed
on with good wishes for all.
Another rather astonishing revela-
ton as to the real beginning of Ire
lands great Causeway is furnished by
the giant himself, and it may be taken
for granted that all who heard the
Ellen Young version will accept it in
preference to history. which is only
written up. while tradition is handed
down. Note the difference.
Miss Young gathered her stories
from erudite sources. of course. but
she adds to this colorful, first hand
verifications from the still primitive
people of peasant hutS, fishing boats
and cabins on the sides of steep hills.
While this knowledge has its con-
points, it must be said in fair
ness that each bit of story owes it's
charm of conviction to the personality
OF Miss Young, whose voice carries A
silvery cadence of truth unbeguiled,
and whose hands are eloquent in ges-
ture. Also, she makes a dainty pic
ture, in a soft red silk that glowed
like living ruby in its high lights
long, loose sleeves and ankle-length
skirt, with her light hair brushed back
with a knot at the back--a pleasa
reminder of the way American women
used to dress.

The beautiful Lolo, for whose love

eye. The characterization itself, how
ever, scarcely sums the moving hit
one would expect.
Lowe is cast as a young outlaw.
while others in the cast include
Henry F'olker, Nina Ramano and

The musical feature, arranged by
Nischa Guterson from the last act Of

PALACE-"The Song and Dance
Man"

Wholesome amusement creating
spontaneous laughter is to be had at
Loew's Palace Theater this week,
where the film adaptation of one of
George NJ. Cohan's popular comedies
THE Song and Dance Man" is being
shown on the screen.
The story concerns Happy Farrel,
whose ambition is for a career and
who tries vainly to convince producers
that he is the very best song and
dance man in the whole world" The
producers think differently, however,
after seeing Happy's efforts. but are
intereSted-nay, electrified-by the tai
ents of Happys little friend, Leona
Lane. who. upon Happy's dismissal,
climbs on the stage and gives such
rousing exhibition of Charleston"

the big producer, befriends the stage

to take up business career. How
Happy makes success OF business
life, while Leona takes Broadway by
storm as the new star Of the theatri-
cal world, and how later their lines
converge, leads up to a surprising
climax and altogether human ending
Tom Moore is admirably cast in the
title role, while Bessie Love shares
honors for a delightful characterize
tion as the lovable little dancer, and
incidentally gives a rendition of the
"Charleston" that in itself is worth
the price of admission. Completing a
good cast are Norman Trevor, Harri-
son Ford, William B. Mack and Bob
by Watson.
THE Song and Dance Man" is a
happy production, fast moving and
with human story Its glimpses of
life behind the scenes are particularly
interesting and ring true.
On the program also is a Mack SEN
nett comedy of spasmodic humor, in
teresting news pictures and orchestral
music, with an overture number.
