The principal roles are allot-
ted to Violet Heming, Robert
Warwick, Charles Ray, May
Robson, Berton Churchill, Stan
ley Logan, Conway Wingfield,
FRITZ Scheff and Ruth Shepley.
Charlie Ray was of especial
interest to those who knew him
only as film actor. He demon
strates a stage presence and
reading ability that indicate he
was not an accident uncovered
by the movies.
Possibly Mary Turner's history
is fairly familiar for the screen
has told it in addition to the
many stage performances. One
follows the little shop girl who
is framed and sent up for three
years in Auburn prison for
crime she did not commit. Re.
leased, she starts upon a career
that treads close to the border
line of criminality and yet is
legally within the bounds. Her
obession is to pay back in sorrow
and suffering the department
store magnate whom she blamed
for her undeserved criminal
record. This she accomplished by
marrying his son. Always her
questionable tactics have the back
ing of sound legal opinion. There
is a murder and a third degree
exposition and other elements of
sound melodrama which makes
for interesting moments, though
the play frequently creaks with
antiquated stage technique of an.
other day.
Charlie Ray, perennial juvenile

the role of the boy, though voice

So much of the ups and downs
history of an earlier era of the
theater has been built around
the play, it was inevitable that
it would find it's place among
the revivals which the modern
playgoer repopularizes and enjoys.
1t is told, for instance that
William A. Brady tried out the
piece in Chicago and seeing no
possibility for profit forthwith re-
linquished all rights for the
proverbial farthing. Its author,
with enthusiasm quenched sold
his equities for mere 81 900 in
lieu Of further royalties. Then
the Selwyns acquired the play and
thereby laid the corner stone of
their present stable fortunes.
Not less than $500,0 in velvet
dividends did the Selwyns amass
in three years run and out of
pure magnaminious spirit they
tossed a few royalty checks to the
then struggling WELLER. A budd.

evening packed with thrills and

Circus" a British Film

Strange, as it may seem. Char
lie Chaplin's picture, 1.-THE Circus"
was admitted to England as
British production under the laws
recently designed to check the
invasion of American pictures.
The law provides that for the
picture to be classified as British,
the star, the author, the director
and the promoter must be British
and Chaplin, still British sub
ject, is all Of them!

STANLEY wINKLER



BOSTON, Mass, June e.-You
don't often hear of a mar trying to
keep the courts from giving him
$4,000.
But Stanley Winkler. Of Boston,
has that distinction. He went into
the Middlesex county probate court.
and TO the amazed disbelief of his
stupefied attorney. asked the court
to please not give him the money.
Maybe he thought the courts had
been kind enough 70 bin. A short
time before they had freed him of
a charge of murder. And as any
body knows. release from the shadow
Of the electric chair is a gift before
which money pales into insignifi-

Killing Starts Trouble
Winkler's troubles and fortunes
Mrs. Frances Winkler. was found
lying beside a road in Dedham. She
had been killed near the lonely road
late at night. under mysterious cir
cumstances. Some Of the detectives
thought the facts discovered in con-
n~ection with the affair pointed 70
Winkler. and he was arrested. to be
formally charged xth murder.
The startled Winkler steadily pro-
tested his innocence. He was placed
on trial in the Norfolk county super
Tor court. and a -erdict of not
guilty was directed py the court.
before the jury ever had a chance
TO pass on the evidence.
Winkler walked from the court
room with a renewed faith in hu-
mar nature and an abiding affection
for sll mankind. He felt like a man
recently cleansed of guilt; a man who
could dc no wrong. Then he was
notified that he had been appointed
administrator of mis- wife's estate,
and his attorney told him to be in
court to have the $4,000 turned
ove TO him.
Winkler appeared in court. and in
his eve was a light kindled BY an
intention to be dead on the level
with a world which had been on the
level with him. Just as the Judge
was about TO order the estate turn
ed over, Walker walked forward 10

His attorney. stunned. attempted
to hush him. Court officers and
onlookers were amazed. But winkler
told his story. He had never been
legally married to Frances Winkler.
he said. He told Of having n wife
and three children in Poland before
and after meeting the woman who
was known as his wife in America.
The dead woman he said. had two
sisters in Poland. These. Winkler
insisted. were entitled to the S10.-
600.
The court. q little stirred. altered
its records. Winkler walked from
the courtroom, the light still shining
in his eyes.
