tor and writer.
Although he comes of a long line
of theatrical people and the stage
wa§ considered a sort of Ince fam-
ily heirloom, Ralph was not partic-
ularly enthusiastic about being an
actor in those early days. It was
not until he was twenty years old
that the stage got a grip on him
and he decided to devote his life
to dramatic work.
Ince played a season in repertoire
with Richard Mansfield,
in “Today1
with. Ethel
McChesney,’
Philadelphia and in “Ben Hur” and
featured in
Then fqr two seasons he headlined
over the Orpheum Circuit with his
own act.
Ince began merging his stage
work with motion pictures in 1906
with the old Vitagraph Company.
He spent ten years with this com-
pany. He was the first screen actor
to impersonate Lincoln and his work
in this characterization won forjrim
national fame. He directed and
starred in “The Goddess,” one of
the first and biggest of serial pic-
tures. He spent several years with
his brother, Thomas H., acting
directing.
Mrs. Mary Jowell is the present
holder of the Ladies Golf Auxiliary
cup, for which women golfers of
the Electra Country Club have con-
tested each month of the past year.
The cup is to be awarded perma-
nently to the woman winning it
three times in succession. Mes-
dames Louise Williams, G. F. Le-
Bus, U. G. White, J. H. Marriott,
Jr., ancK Jowell have each in turn
won the cup in the contests held on
the first Wednesday of each month.
Mesdames Williams, Marriott and
Jowell have each won it twice in
succeSslan, then lost on the third
contest. Mts, Jowell will have to
defend title to the cup two more
times in order to keep it, and the
contest promises to be a livel^one
in the games for the remainder
the year.

Ruth Chatterton and Clive Brook

talkie—one which is said to contain
an even greater* amount of dramatic
and romantic punch than the two
earlier successes of these capable
favorites.

grancies of a misfit marriage.

Ruth Chatterton, an unrefined,
tawdry, down-at-the-heels actress.
His friends forsake him after he
“straightened out,” and begins a-
gain his respectable pursuit of busi-
ness. Ruth sees him losing his
prestige and decides that she will
leave him for the sake of his stand-
ing in society. She goes away, al-
though she loves him more than
anything else in the world. He car-
ries on without her, but before long
discovers xthat there is an emptiness
in life that can only be filled by

matic episodes they are brought to-
