Tbe widow's former husband owed so much money all over th country that he traveled under several names, wnicn now gives rts to ths rumor that she had several different hu bands, and also, that she poisoned ductien to the college student, gradu ate or undergraduate, who would send her tn best play In this university competition before June i.

Mary Plckford's "Teas of the Storm Country," one of th strongest plays in which "Little Mary" has ever appeared, is the feature attraction at the Sunset beginning this afternoon. The story of the play is dramatic from start to finish. It is that of a little ignorant fisher girl whose father is charged with murder and of a theo logical student who teaches her the first knowledge of God. The child puts her faith in God, but th theo logical student ls her personification of him. The stater of the student make a misstep and Tess shoulders the blame, bringing upon herself not alone th condemnation of th entire community, but of the man. she re veres. It goes apace until the father of th child's mother denounces Tess ln public. Then Tepla, the mother, claim her offspring. This seen has been rightfully declared one of the most powerful ever depicted on the motion picture screen. M 0 "Th Escape," D. W. Griffith's drama of life at the Globe theatre, ls a most unusual story. Mr. Griffith has taken the big Paul Armstrong play "Tb Es cape" as a foundation for the picture drama. The pasture is a plea for high er social government. In a short pro logue, which precedes this big and vital drama, there ls an Introduction show ing the origin of plant and animal life, and ln a clean and clever way th hu man, family is reproved -for its weak nesses and its carelessness. Mr. GriffltSh has selected the best actors obtainable for his drama. Dr. Artltur D. Houghton, a high authority in matters eugenic, who made ths first eugenic marriage in America, said of "The Escape": It is mora eloquent than th sooken drama, more convincing than a thou sand sermons, a lesrsou to those striv ing to better humanity.
