Galsworthy's
Audience
; ;;" By . C. B.
4 TERSE tale of selfish strife which
pits . wit - .against wealth, might
s;r:t right, and brings into bold re
, lief two distinct classes of British so
ciety, is "The Skin Game," which,
thanks to' the genius of its author,
John Galsworthy; and a splendid cast.
Stive an audience at the Hellig theatre
Thursday night a treat in real drama,
. Here are few stage tricks, few high
sounding phrases, almost negligible ac
tion. . Yet .the result is a gripping
piece of work that has the bone, the
flesh and 'the beauty of a complete
structure We like to contend over
here that - classes, those social mon
strosities, do not exist' among us, yet
there . is something vitally intimate
about Galsworthy's study that strikes
home, and, having struck, leaves us
Just' exactly where we were before.
Characters . are keenly drawn a
. hand-picked ' cast, we are told ; dia
logue is sparkling, subtle and of com
manding interest. To Herbert Bnn
ston as Hillcrist. Matthew Boulton as
Hornblower, Ann Delafteld as Chloe
Hornblower, Audrey Cameron as Jill,
and Arthur Bowyer as Dawker, we
are indebted for our revel in "The
Skin Game." And Iate Wingfield as
the human counterpart of a very frigid
, icicle gave the proper impression with
her work.
Ann Delafield, a stately giri who
has most of our film favorites shout
ing to the beauty doctors for help,
comes into the ' action midway, and
her "suppressed emotionalism" ia in
spiring. We wonder, though, if to
day's taste wouldn't be better had she
made, herself less the object of our
hopeful sympathy and more the woman
her accusers would have us think her.
It's too much to see one we so pity
made a sacrifice- to selfishness.
A calm, pampered branch of a great
family tree is Herbert. Bunston, and
his characterization is in perfect con-
tfast with the blustering braggadocio
of Matthew Boulton. impersonating the
enthusiastically modern and energetic
Hornblower, whose, sins we are dis
posed to forgive because they, like the
man himself, are so shallow.
The sum and substance of "The Skin
Game" is the fight between the dem
nant of the ancient, honorable Hill
crist family and the new, aspiring
Hornblowers. By foul means or fair,
these a ad their partisans conspired to
gain their selfish ends and there
Hornblower is vanquished by the ca
lamity which a desperate woman can
invent. But Hillcrist, winner though
he be, has touched pitch and is de
filed. So the final curtain finds us
cuttintg -the mantle of our sympathy
into pieces that all may share in its
comforts.
Galsworthy calls "The Skin Game" a
tragi -comedy. The puzzle is to find
the comedy. A youthful romance lends
a smile here and there, and laughter
greets Eugene Wellesley's clownish
characterization of an autioneer.
Thereafter it is tragedy. When Chloe
Homblower's present5 and past meet
on forbidden ground, tragedy reaches
its climax and fine acting makes it all
powerful and realistic.
But it la tragedy, too. when, for no
reason that is sufficient to warrant a
departure from the old forms, some
of these, players, notably Bunston and
Boulton, face away from their audi
ence and shout their lines into an un
appreciative, totally deaf back drop.
It will be a- tribute to your appre
ciation of good things if you can say,
after "The Skin Game'was moved on,
that you' saw it and liked it.

great difficulty in getting enough sol
diers. There were in s the 13 states
200,000 men of military age; But try as
he might, ; Washington could only raise
4000 regulars. The people were too
provincial; They respected the authori
ties of their own state but had no sym
pathy with or understanding ' for the
new congress which was expected to
rule .the common country. The aver
age man.;;, heretofore unaccustomed to

Salesgirl Who
Won Contest to
Enter Movies
By. Sodsey Datcacr "
United Sews Staff Correfpondent ,
CHICAGO. Dec S. England's Cin
derella is going to .fairyland. .
: Miss Margaret Leahy, once a poor
little salesgirl, but recently . chosen
from more than - 80.000 of England's
fairest as the most beautiful of all,
is going to Hollywood, f '
The Talmadge Sisters. Sorma, Con
stance and Natalie, who have all
achieved the stardom- in movieland
that the little giri front London hopes
for, showed Chicago to Misa Margaret
Thursday and showed Margaret to
Chicago, apparently very proud of
their "find," and protege:
TOO BASHFUL TO TAIK
The little Cinderella girl, ensconsed
in a palatial suit in a palatial hotel,
appeared too bashful to apeak out and
tell what she thought about America
and about going to Hollywood to enter
the movies. The Talmadge girls had
to act as press agents. Such a case
is a rarity, and Margaret will doubt
less get over it. but as her lip quivered
under the gaze of several reporters,
about all Margaret could do was to
express with her beautiful eyes the
thought that "Home never was like
this."
Being poor, Margaret had to start
working in a London store af the age
of 14. Margaret, however, had brains,
a fact which may or may not help her
in Hollywood. Three years more found
her manager and buyer for a store in
a London suburb, which sold, she said.
"Ladies' costumes."
When the fairy godmother's wand
began to wave. last summer.- Margaret
was 20 -years old and still buying
and managing from 9 :30 In the morn
ing until 9 :30 at night and 11 o'clock
on Saturday night.
PICKED FROM S,00
The Daily Sketch of London con
ceived the idea of a beauty contest.
One of Miss Leahy's friends sent in
her picture, and with 99 others it was
picked out of the 80,000 or more sub
mitted. Thesn, as many people know,
ami many ifnore don't, the, 100 beauties
were assembled from all parts of the
British Isles in London and Margaret's
face was selected as the prettiest of
all.
The Talmadge girls invited Margaret
and the 99 to a private contest of
their own and again Margaret won,
for it was discovered that she had
a "perfect film face."
Thus it came about the poor little
salesgirl sat in the palatial suite
Thursday and saw all the reporters,
while Norma Talmadge tried to get a
chance to let the assemblage gaze at
other fair features than her own.
Norma admitted Margaret couldn't act
yet, and that she didn't eem to have
any particular talent, "but everyone
knows what a good director can do
with a beautiful girl , with ordinary
piece of nentality." i

were greatly outnumbered, the militia
blundered as usual, nd. the British

Washington retreated to Chester with
his defeated army, and Howe moved
on toward Philadelphia- I The news of
the American defeat reached the city

CHAPTER 89
HER mother's wailing could still be
heard from overhead,' though more
faintly, and old Charley Lohr was com
ing down the stairs alone. ,
He looked at Alice compassionately.
"I was just consin to suggest maybe
you'd excuse yourself from your company.-
he said. "Your mother- was
bound not to disturb you. and tried
her best to keep you from nearln" how
She's takin on, but I thought prob
ably you better see to her."
"Tea. I'll come. What's the "mat
ter?" "Well," he said, "I only stepped over
to offer my sympathy and services,
as it were. I thought of course you
folks knew all about it. Fact is, it was
in the evening paper just a little bit
of an item -on' the back page, of
course."' .
"What is it!"
He coughed. "Well, it ain't anything
so terrible, he said, "Fact is. J your
brother Walter'a got in a little trou
ble well. I suppose you might call it
quite a good deal of trouble. Fact is,
he's quite considerable short in his ac
counts down at. Lamb and Company."
Alice ran up the stairs and into her
father's room, where Mrs. Adams threw
herself into her daughter's arms. "Is
he gone?" she sobbed. "He didn't hear
me, did he? I tried so hard "
Alice patted the heaving shoulders
her arms enclosed. "No, no," she said.
"He didn't hear you it wouldn't ,have
mattered he. doesn't matter anyway."
"Oh, poor Walter !" the mother cried.
"Oh, the poor boy ! Poor, poor Walter !
Poor, poor, poor, pool? "
"Hush, dear, hush !" Alice tried to
soothe her, but the lament could not
be abated, and from the other, side of
the room a repetition in a different
spirit was as continuous. Adams paced
furiously there, pounding his fist into
his left palm as he strode. "The dang,
boy 1" he said. "Dang little fool ! Dang
idiot ! Dang fool ! Whyn't he tell me,
the dang little fool?"
"He did!" Mrs. Adams sobbed. "He
did tell you, and you wouldn't give it
to him."
"He did, did he?" Adams shouted at
her. "What he begged me for was
money to run away with ! He never
dreamed of putting back what he took.
What the dangnation you talking about
accusing me !"
"He needed it," she said. "He needed
it to run away with ! How could he ex
pect to live, after he got away, if he
didn't have a little money? Oh, poor
poor, poor Walter I Poor, poor, poor "
She went back to this repetition and
Adams went back to his own, then
paused, seeing his old friend standing
in the hallway outside the open door.

"Say." John said as he tamped his
corncob full, of crimp cut and scratched
a match on his heel. "I wouldn't trade
this job for that one. lf they'd sentence
me to.it for life.' ;
"They's a lot of fellahs hankerin
after it right now," T. Paer chuckled,

m some place to sleep." 1 4y
"The more I think about it, the more
I come - to the conclusion that a
political job's a Whole lot like a fliv
ver," John remarked thoughtfully
through his smoke screen, "You can't
hardly tell one from the other,"
'How's- that T T. Paer asked curi
ously. "I can't see -the joba're any
thing like a -r Henry, 'specially when
they never get you anyplace." ,.,.
"Welt, '. they' are," John insisted,

springs bust and you jolt along on the
running gears, until the selfstarter
balks and. -you break your -arm trying
to crank the blamed thing." -

to think of it." T.- Paer conceded, "but
say, John." he mused after a moment's
silence, "ain't it doggoned queer how
many nuts they are that's willin' to try
fo crank 'em?' ,
