For 13 years Maude Eburne was a
chnructer actress in stock companies.
She appeared once before in New York,
but no one remembers the occasion, and
Miss Eburne went back to stock. I.af-t
summer she was i.th a company in
Rochester, New York. It was there
that "A Pair of Sixes" was tried out.
Miss Eburne came to New York with
the company, having secured the part
of "Coddles," the English slavev.
Then from obscurity in stock she
flushed across as a Broadway sensntion,
came a part of the business of the play
entirely by accident.
During a rehearsal, Parsons in a
spirit of fun, interpolated the line,
"Coddles, take my advice and alwsys
remain a maiden." She laughingly
asked that he repeat the line, then
bump his rose against the scenery and
she would do a fall. This was carried
out and the line and the fall were im
mediately ordered retained as a regular
part of tho scene. Miss Eburne was
nut confident of the success of her fall,
the had gotten laughs by falls in
"stock" but she feared Broadway.
Now her only fear is that she will
break every bone in her body as she
kor plunks each night. She was the
most surprised person in tho theater at
the first performance of "A Pair of
Sixees" w hen shrieks of laughter greet
ed her collapse at the line spoken by
Parsons.

The story of Samson is the story of

mg story of tho life of this man, to
whom God cave power and strenulii
such as no man possessed, and to whoi.i
Mo gave "carte bluncho" in righting
his wrongs, is the most spectacular, ro
niantic and tragic of any of the heroes
of antiquity.
The film representation which the
I'niverful has evolved from the historv
of Samson, and told in six wonderful
reels, follows tho account in the Book
of Judges, with startling accuracy
.Nothing is left out. The film shows

to kill him at all costs. But Samoti

Now Samson meets Delilah who, at
