BIG
MODERN NOTE IN
PING STONE."
"STEP-
Man's Awakening to "Woman's Place
, in the World the Theme of Tri
angleJlnce Play.
C. Gardner Sullivan, the crack sce
nario writer of the Triangle Kay-Bee
studios, has the happy faculty of hit
ting upon some big question in near
ly all of his productions. One of his
mightiest themes is that of "Tho
Stepping Stone," a new Triangle play J mi ,whit.n was the year after Ilar-
auvrring rruiiK neunmi nnu wmry du-, picnics' first acceptance by the
Boldt, of tho Waldorf-Astoria Hotel,
read tho obituary notico of Joseph
Hnrpignios in newspapers recently
and it reminded him that a landscape
which hus hung in' his private drawing-room
for years has a signature
that begins with an "H", but is unde
cipherable with the naked eye. Ho
always had been promising himself
to get a reading glass and study the
lower righthand corner of the canvas.
Then he did it and found the work is
signed "Harpignies."
It is in for a cleaning and varnish
ing and a new framo now. Mr. Bol.lt
bought the picture years age from a
French resident of Now York who was
"ard up". He does not remember
whr.t it cost him. The date of it is
his existence by the
tion :
"Joseph Alfred Delaure, stretcher I
bearer, never hesitating to go to tho
most dangerous places, has given nu
merous proofs of courage and devo
tion. Wounded at the stretcher '
bearers' first aid post in September."
The priest now wears a war cross. !
He was expiating his transgressions i
in a Spanish convent when mobiliza- i
tion was proclaimed and joined the
hospital section to which he was as-:
signed, at once putting his name down
for service at the front. ,
land.
It takes the biggest step so far in
the amazing social revolt of the mod
ern woman. The old idea of woman
as a stepping-stone for the male has
for some time been challenged by i
woman herself; but, despite the con
stantly swelling army or suitragists,
her representatives have been isolated
members of her sex.
Sullivan takes the attitude that tho
thinking man may prove instrumental
in bringing that woman who has not
heeded the call of her sisters to her
rightful place. 'In his story, a man
who has won his way to the top, finds
the type of woman no has been seok-
ing all his life the wife of a man who
' never can appreciate her; and he
then and there determines to secure
her for his own. The manner of his
doing this constitutes a thrilling ac
tion and hammers home the moral
with real punch.
"The Stepping iStone" should prove
one of the most forceful contributions
, to the propaganda of the modern wom
an. It will be at the Arcade Wednes

RARE PICTURE IS FOUND
George C. Boldt Identifies Art Work
With Magnifying Glass
New York, Sept. 8. George C.
mer, the "silly season," ana tne pap
ers seized upon a mystery as a god
send. Tho priost of a parish just out-
side of Paris disappeared. His bicycle
was found abandoned and was the last
trace of l.im. The papers became each i
a Sherlock Holmes (the great detcc-1
tive was then a novelty in France)
and tried every means to si'lve the
mystery. Second-sight s-jers were
employed and one paper hired a hyena
for the chase.
The mystery was solved. It proved
an idyl, not a drama. The old, old
proverb, "Cherchez la femme" sup
plied the key. The priest at first was
defiant. He renounced the church and
claimed the right to marry as other
men do. Then he disappeared and a
vague report intimated that he had
made peace with the church. And
now the Journal Office has betrayed
based largely on theatrical life and
its vicissitudes.
The rapid rise to permanent popu
larity of this talented Australian girl
has been one of tho marvels of the
present year. She wa.s well known as
a dramatic artist in Kangaroo Land,
but had never appeared on the screen

following cita- said to have been obtained from J.
..., .. wucai xuiK
ids, la., bank cashier, in jail here. The
confession was made public by the
state s attorney's office.
The murder of Mrs. Pettit occur
red on August 31, and Pettit was sub
sequently captured near Detroit. He
is accused of having killed his wife
with a razor.
In the confession Pettit is quoted as
saying that when he was married in
tne eariy part ol tne year, ne ex
pected to live with his wife on i
"spirit plan," but that his mother-in
law later had hinted to him that if
he continued on that theory, instead of
a normal husband and wife relation
ship, his wife might seek other com
pany.
From that time on, the confession
read, though his wife was a "pure
woman," he had attacks of jealous
fits, in one of which he .cut the throat
of his wife, and left her lying dead
while he fled the house.
According to the confession, Pettit
sought to kill himself on the farm
near Detroit, where he was captured,
and that he yet hoped to end his life
so he could join his bride "spiritu
ally."

Some men stand out from the crowd as Gulliver towered over

they predominate.
Feeling right within, is one of the fundamentals of physical

is the logical food for thinkers and doers. It contains all the nutri

There's able help for many in Grape-Nuts.
"There's a R eason"
until she came to America, around
last Christmas, and applied to Joseph
De Grasse for work as an "extra" in
his Bluebird company.
Struck by her charm and beauty,
Mr. De Grasse found a place for her
in a minor part, in "The Grip of
Jealousy," then being in process of
making. Before her first week had
ended Miss Lovely was acting the
leading role and blossomed forth as
the star of the sixth feature presented
in the popular Bluebird series.
Since that time shj has been a
Bluebird star at fixed intervals of
every five weeks, having been the star
in "Tangled Hearts" and in "The
Gilded Spider." Now, as the star of
MBobbie of the Ballet," she will be
seen m a role that is better suited to
her peculiar gifts of physical charm
and dramatic talent than has been
supplied by any photoplay Bluebird
has thus far provided her with.
There is an intense element of hu
man interest in the story, with cross
current of varying themes nnd coun
ter plots to make the narrative effec
tive of gripping entertainment. In
Miss iovely's support will be the
equally beautiful Gretchon Lederer.
