EARLE-"Father's Son. !"

pOOTH HARRINGTON is noted for
~ the meticulous honesty which
causes him to refuse to see other plays
while writing for the stage or screen,
lest he be unwittingly influenced. The
matter of his conScientiousness recalls
a story which Mr.. Harrington himself
tells about the man who in his early
writing days attempted to impersonate
him.
It was not long after Monsieur
Beaucaire" became popular that the au-
thor heard of man in a Western city
who was pretending to be Booth Tark-
ington and presenting autographed
copies of the book to his friends. The
story told by the faker was that his rel
atives objected to having a writer in
their midst; that he had hired a young
man In Indiana to pose as Booth Tark-
1ngton, and that the checks were al
ways forwarded to him by the accom-
modating young Hoosier.
Authors have been impersonated be-
fore and since, and they frequently
have been vindictive, but Mr.. Tarking-
ton was not. He took q humorous de-
light in the idea of the impostor in
creasing his sales by the simple ex-
pedient Of autographing the books.

The story concerns the love of Chris

of Jennie's brother in stealing from a
bank to cover up his gambling debts.
Jennie sacrifices herself for her brother

as firm In its construction as in any Of
his past successes, while 1t Is as modern
as the present day. Episode in its
treatment, the play Is written with a
skill and vigor that bellies the age Of
Pinero, now in his seventy-Sixth year.
"Dr. Harmer" concerns young ply
sician of that name who, apart from
his ability as q medical man, possesses
a quality that attracts people enor-
mously. His numerous patients consult
him on their domestic as well as their
physical troubles. Beloved by all and
looked upon by the elderly widow with
whom he lodges as dearly as If he were
her son, DR.. Hammer has one great Pc
culiarity. For a period Of three weeks
In every year he steals away from his
wholesome surroundings for his annual
holiday" returning as mysteriously at
the expiration of that time, obviously
i'll and weary, and without giving the
slightest intimation as to where he
spent his well earned vacation" It Is
around the mystery of the doctors dis
appearances and the latters desperate
attempts to deliver himself from some
unwholesome tyranny that Pinero has
fashioned strange and absorbing play.
In the title role Philip Merivale, It Il
said, has the most engaging role of his
career, not excepting his memorable
portrayal in Death Takes q Holiday"
His supporting company, of genuine dis
tinction, includes Hal j. Scott, Connie
Graham, Helen Vinson, Viva Birkett,
Roland Hogue, Wallace Erskine, Frank
Greene, Olga Birkbeck, Reginald NAL
colin and Felicia Vail, and all under
Stanley Logan's direction.

Fashion Department

The Empress Eugene hat, that
dashing, fiirtatious, audicious and
goofy creation was inspired by the
Empress Eugene, in spirit of fun
and has been taken seriously by the
modern girl. 1t is now being worn as
successfully as could be expected by
those who are willing to give their
right eye for the privilege of wearing
it.
It's all right as long as you can get
an eye full with the left pepper, but
don't leave the right eye covered too
long.
These hats don't look like hats at
all. They look like somebody left
their old derby hat out in the rain
and it shrunk. Then they draped a
chicken feather around it and sold it
to somebody for SIS.
It used to be that whenever some
one went to meet someone, they would
recognize each other by their hats.
Now they wouldn't know each other
from load of West Penn poles.
These Empress Eugene hats were
really created by the wife of an abb
sent minded professor who ate her hat
for breakfast and wore the pancake
downtown. The feather is just an
after thought.
And all the time women are think
ing that they are expressing indi-
viduality. $50
Over in Napoleon's court once upon
a time when Empress Eugene had a
mad-on at somebody she wanted to
spite him plenty and went to the
Royal Milliner and told him to design
the meanest looking hat he could
create. He tried everything from
gaily trimmed soup tureens to severe
ly plain inverted gobboons, but they
weren't bad enough.
Then he picked up Al Smiths brown
derby, crushed it out Of shape, stuck
a quill on the side and soaked the
Empress 6,189 francs.
The result is the new individuality
of the American girl.
