TANQUERAY (Five Parts— Aug. 6). — The cast: Aubrey Tanqueray (Sir George Alexander) ; Paula (Miss Hilda Moore). The story tells of the first Mrs. Tanquerav, an austere woman, who brings unhappiness to her husband by insisting that their only ehild be sent to a convent. His loneliness is increased by her death, shortly after which "The Second Mrs. Tanqueray" comes into his life. Tanqueray is fully aware that she has a past, but gives their mutual infatuation full swing, and when her husband divorces her, defies convention by announcing their engagement. On the Tanqueray country estate begins the brides battle against her past. The quiet life is irksome, her husband's friends uncongenial, and her husband constantly strives to wean her away from her former associates. There are stormy scenes, and breaks narrowly averted. And in the midst of this comes the daughter, grown to young womanhood, and drawn from the convent by what she feels is her duty to her lonely father, as she believes him. The girl's attitude toward her stepmother is cold, yet the woman always tries to win her love. Over her protest, the girl goes to Paris on a visit, and the wife, against the wishes of her husband, invites a married pair to visit them, two of her "old set.' Their indolence and indifference to everything excepting their own petty existences disgust "The Second Mrs. Tanqueray," and while she now realizes she loathes her old friends and the old life, she also realizes she can never fit into the new. In a fit of pique she withholds letters to Tanqueray from his daughter, telling him of her engagement to an army officer. She admits this to him and, pleading another chance, he forgives her. The daughter and her soldier fiance, former lover of "The Second Mrs. Tanqueray," arrive at the Tanqueray estate. Not until the two meet does either know tbe identity of the other. The daughter in a flash divines it all and she turns on the older woman a torrent of resentment and recrimination, dragging up her past and impugning her motive in marrying her father. "The Second Mrs. Tanqueray," throwing the girl to the floor and declaring she will apologize for her statements, goes to her husband and tells him all.

G). — The cast: Stuart Adams (Franklyn Farnum) ; Hazel Kichards (Brownie Vernon); Mrs. Richards (Blary Talbot): Miss Richards (Martha Mattoxj ; James Richards (Mark Fenton) ; Vera Vincent (Claire McDowell) ; Wilbur McBean (William Human): Joe Byers (Clyde Benson); Ed. Linder (Albert McQuarrie). Scenario written by Waldemar Young. Directed bv William Worthington. The city of Weston was divided into factions on the question of social reform when announcement was made that "The Girl and the Garter" would appear at the opera house. James Richards, head of the Purity League, declared that the show should not be allowed to give any performances, for the reason that he had witnessed the entertainment in New York — attending for the purpose of seeing "just how shocking it was." Having decided it was indeed shocking, Richards decreed that the people of Weston should not see the show. Stuart Adams, advance agent for "The Girl and the Garter," claimed Weston as his home town. To complicate matters Adams and Hazel Richards, daughter of the leader of the Purity League, had been sweethearts since childhood. Richards objected to their marriage, when they reached maturity, because Adams was in the show business. When Adams arrived in Weston in advance of "The Girl and the Garter," he found awaiting him a wire from the manager in effect that business was so bad that the show would be compelled to disband unless Adams managed to "start something" to boom business in Weston. The agent of "The Girl and the Garter" busied himself so earnestly in "starting something" that he was in town several hours before he found time to even call Hazel Richards on the phone. When he did, the girl's aunt intercepted the message and, in fostering the Richards' family objection to Ada.ms, Jailed deliberately to tell Hazel of the incident. Later, when Hazel was driving through the business center of the town, Adams spied her car. He jumped aboard and gave the girl ' a kiss that startled the Purity League into spasms of indignation. Hurriedly explaining matters to Hazel, Adams was able to persuade her to carry in her car a transparency advertising "The Girl and the Garter." and follow the Reform League parade that was passing through the streets that afternoon. Incidentally Adams "started something" when he interviewed Richards for the local paper — a sheet that was leading the opposition movement for Personal Liberty. "The Girl and the Garter" was getting some great advertising. The line of ticket purchasers at the opera house box office was long and increasing every moment. That night there was to be a public rally, led by the Reform League, and Adams challenged Richards to a public debate. The immense crowd that assembled was electrified by the spirited argument Adams advanced, and was then stunned when Adams declared that his ideas of fairness demanded that one side or the other must make a tremendous sacrifice. On his own behalf he voluntarily cancelled the engagement of his company and declared that "The Girl and the Garter" would abandon its proposed performance in Weston. Richards, moved to heights of public sacrifice, declared that he would withdraw his objection — that "The Girl and the Garter" woulci be permitted to fulfill its engagement. Adams, foxy fellow, carried in his pocket a telegram from his manager, received only an hour before the public meeting, stating that the show had closed and its players had returned to New York. As a result of the debate, Richards insisted that Adams should go home with him to dine. The showman was nonplussed — for he was expecting Hazel Richards to be at the railroad station, awaiting his arrival, that they might elope and be married. But Hazel's aunt had THAT SILENT EASY RUNNING PROJECTOR Which has replaced a "STARTLING NUMBER" of the so-called popular machines of the "NOISY" variety, has INCREASED the BUSINESS of many theatres for the reason that the patrons are not annoyed by that constant "NERVE-RACKING SOUND."
