| Romantic ‘Trish ‘Play and Balladry y good, yet exceedingly WITHIN THE LAW? They Chase Each Other Up and Down One’s Spinal Column at a Scorching Rate. By RIPLEY PD.

There are moments when “Within the Law," comes perilously near to cross- -‘$ng the dead-line of plausibility, but, in the main, it develops its thrills with an astonishingly ingenious use of le- gitimate material. This is especially astonishing in view of the fert that its central figure is . crafty, young woman, who declares war against or- ganized society and successfully prose- eutes that war to a point where the signing of a yearningly desired by the police than by the she-criminal herself. The reason why Mary Turner declares this war is born of her imprisonment} for a crime of which she was innocen:. and of her later discovery, after serv- ing her three-year sentence, that she cannot live down the penitentiary taint “which has been placed upon her. This and left helpless, she says, in, with Satan himself, “Evil, be my good!’—anad it is then that the — — thrills of “Within the Law” have their truly absorbing melo- dramatic beginning. for Mary Turner is wise enough, in ‘waging her war against society, to em- ploy an up-to-date lawyer almost dev- adept in the counseling of his to how they can commit yet keep on the safe side ae legal enactments devised for # punishment. You do. not see er in the play, but by his ye know him, and one of the hie fruits assumes substance — of the criminal gang * Mary Turner surrounds her- What more than this could one ask J groundwork for thrill after thrill ee ——— agitation?

Whereafter, as a matter of course. having fooled young Richard Gilder inte marrying her in order that she might revenge hersei: upon his father, Mary Turner comes to love Richard really and trule and there you have the makings of ti plays’ happy ending and the in- fluence which led. to Mary Turner's signing of the peace-protoeco]l with the New York police. All the thrills are past now—ring out, sweet bells, it’s a happy married life and her own fir>- side for Mary Turner after this. Ann Davis plays the role of Mary Turner with admirable melodramatic ef- fectiveness, crisp, sharp, snappy, grim at times, yet with sudden touches of tenderness and womanly softness that properly complete the picture of a girl with such a2 story. She Is capitally supported by a clever company of which the more notable members are Lewis J. Cody as young | Richard Gilder, Howard Hall as his Mary-jailling father, Susanna Willa as & charmingly humorous blackmailing ir genue th Mary Turner’s robber-band, Joseph Rawley as the ultimately hero!:> and sacrificial Joe Garson of that sams gang, Jules Ferrar as Inspector Burke of the New York police, Ed M. Dresser as Detective Cassidy and Henry Doug- las as Prosecuting Attorney Demarest. It's a clever company of players and @ well-played play. Ané thrills?

FIVE AUTOS STOLEN BY JOY-RIDERS; ALL FOUND Police Fail to Make Any Arrests During Unusual Carnival | of Thefts. “Joy riders” held carnival in the au- tomobiles of others Saturday night and Sunday. Five machines were stolen and driven about until the gasoline supply had become exhausted. The police re- eovered the cars, but failed to make any arrests. The automobile of J. D. Abeles of 4140 Washington boulevard was driven away from in front of the University Club at Grand avénue and Washington boule- vard about 8 p. m. Sunday and was found at 1 a. m. Monday at Spring ave- nue and Morgan street. Joseph Norton of 6920 Julian place re- ported that his car was driven off from ‘in front of 4630 Lindell boulevard about 9p. m. Sunday. The police recovered it in the alley behind 6058 Maple avenue about 12:30 a. m. 4 The machine of Dr. A. H. Bradley of from the corner of Grand and Finney avenues about 11 p. m. Sunday and at 12:30 a. m. was found at Compton ave- nue and Pine street. Charles Wintergest of 2618 Belt avenue reported that his car was taken from in front of the King’s Theater, Kensington Bventie and King’s highway, Saturday right. It was found early Sunday near het | SNe scene of the theft. The auto of W. H. Danforth of 17 3 place, which was stolen from in front of 6714 Maple avenue Saturday — * was found in the morning at Tay- ora Laclede avenues.

IRISH SONGS IN ISLE O° DREAMS ARE SWEETLY ane! | Chauncey Olcott Pleases Big Sunday Night Audience in New Play. It was not entirely the fault of the play that the audience got away from the Century Theater Sunday night sev- eral minutes later than the usual final curtain time. It was because, not be- ing satisfied with ‘Mother Macree,” “Kathleen Aroon,” “When Irish Eyes Are Smiling’’ and “Isle o’ Dreams,’ they insisted upon “My Wild Irish Rose,” ‘‘Molly O,”’ and would have heard many more had Chauncey Olcott re- sponded to all their calls. ting that Rita Johnson Young has sup- plied in ‘The Isle o Dreams,” and Hen- ry Miller has given it a typical Irish atmosphere. The fisherman’s taproom, the hanging cliff, the scene on board the Sea Gull, near the coast of the island, the incidental music and the careful costuming gives the romance a more pleasing effect than any of the recent Olcott plays. The story of the play concerns the time of the treatened invasion of Ireland by Napoleon. En- glish soldiers in glistening costumes that looked like they were made only for Parade duty, search the island for a UY, a brother of an Irish Princess. Ivor helway, an inhabitant of the island, loves the Princess, and aids the spy to escape, Then the soldiers get after Ivor. Chauncey Olcott is Ivor; Edith Browning is the charming Princess. Anyone who has seen Olcott knows how he can subdue English soldiers by bluff and cunning, and how he can win Irish Princesses in plays by singing love bal- lads and songs of old Ireland. ‘There is one thing an Irishman loves better than his life—his word,’ says Ivor. Be that as it may, there is. an- other thing he loves better than any- thing else. That’s a good old _ Irish Song. Olcott gives him plenty of these songs. A capacity house applauded them to the echo Sunday evening, and also the incidental music provided between acts. The company supporting Mr. Olcott is entirely capable, Edith Browning, in the leading feminine role; Agnes Heron Miller, a seer, of almost wraithful ap- pearance; J. C. King as the spy and Mrs. Jennig,.Lamont as Mother Kelway being especially pleasing. GORDON S. SERVANT. ——— Good Eaters Are Good Fighters Whether at Work or Play, En- durance Comes from Good Di. gestion, Always Assured by Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets. Men and women mus have quick wit and good grit to stand the day’s battles. A dyspeptic may get away with his work, but is always at swords’ points with those around him. A good stomach and a good meal well digested puts us in a good, jolly fighting mood, the sort that mows down work and commands the hearty co-operation of our associ- ates. The man at thc head of a busi- ness who has a good stomach has behind Lim a good fightirg force against competition. and the daily nixups that are bound to take place. In fact, a well organized business is lik. our digestive system. Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets as soon as taken into the system go right to work as assistants to the stomach, rendering it an immense amount of help in working out the very com- plex processes of digestion, encour- aging it in the performance of its functions, relieving it of a portion of its duties, thereby allowing it a tem- porary respite, ana also toning up, strengthening, revitalizing its se... cretory glands, mucous membranes. absorbing glands and muscular walls ‘a such a way that the stomach soon recovers its lost powers of digestion, motflity, assimilation and ultimately does its work as well as ever with- out outside assistance. These powerful little tablets con- tain in a concentrated form, every element necessary to digest all forms of food, whether meats, vegetables, cereals, eggs, fish, etc., and they act equally well in an acid or an alka- line medium. If your stomach is ailing, does not digest as quickly or as thoroughly as it shouid, and your entire system in consequence is suffering from malnutrition and mal-assimilation, you owe it to your- self to give the abused stomach as- sistance to help it out of its present — ution of your stomach- trouble problem is easy.
