WHY RUB SORDID
DIVORCE PIFFLE
INTO AUDIENCE E
Again: Why Ask Clever Ac
tresses and Actors to Wade
In Such a Puddle?
By WALTER ANTHONY
If you ask me to account for the
success of "The Butterfly on the Wheel"
I answer that It Is due to the third
act. where a trial scene Is enacted on
the etage that would be held behind
closed doors even In Reno. I need not
say that it is a divorce trial. No other
Impulse is evident as animating the
pens of the authors than a desire to
appeal to that morbidity that hangs
over divorce trials and drools with
delight at salacious suggestions.
I do not even consider that the ex
treme brutality of the first act hae
much to do with the interest that the
play is reported to have excited, al
though its lurid episodes supply the
basis of the evil cross examination
which follows in the third act.
Hon. Edward H. Hemmerde, K. C.
IC. P., and Francis Neilson, M. P., be
fore they left the British parliament
to its fate to turn their attention to
the uplift of the stage did no even
think it needful to acquire a knowl
edge of stage technique.
They took a short cut to attention by
collecting questions they doubtless had
heard in their professional experience
and propounding them to a girl—a
young married woman—whom they
called, for the only poetical purposes
exhibited in the play, "the butterfly."
They placed thia victim of their crea
tive frenzy upon the witness stand and
then turned loose intimate interroga
tions, which, fortunately, are not often
propounded in public No doubt they
argued that if folks would crowd a
courtroom to leer at the woman and
gloat over the questions they would
also crowd the theater, where. Inci
dentally, the playwrights could lure
them on the false pretenses of witness
ing something highly moral.
BRAIXS ELIMIXATED
This latter object was accomplished,
easily enough, by making the lady
moral. However, in order to give her
ultimate decency they had to rob her of
brains, and that incident works, it
seems to me, a distressing disadvantage
to the play; for who wants to see a
fool persecuted?
I have seen some brainless ingenues
in my life, but never one whose mental
displacement was so gaseous as Peggy's
of this play. Beside h«r Peggy, the
simpering simpletons of the Blllie
Burke repertoire are Antigones and
Portias. She permits herself to be en
meshed in the most extraordinary web
of accidents without ever dreaming
that she is to be victimised to Colling
wood'e passion and Lady Atwill's am
bition.
The boarding of the wrong train to
Paris inetead of to Switzerland; the co
incidental switching of the baggage of
half the party to Paris and the other
half to Switzerland; the singular fact
that the right luggage went with part
of the party towards Geneva and with
Peggy and her admirer to Paris; the
coincidence of the adjoining room en
gaged for Peggy and Collingwood in
the same hotel; the coincidence of the
unlocked door; the passionate avowal
of his love the moment they are alone;
his kisses and his forced caresses —all
these little incidents call forth from
Peggy on the stand no suggestion of
plot nor design. It is not a butterfly
on the wheel. It is a butternut.
WHY PIT IT ON STAGE?
It is not pertinent to discuss how a
man of the Right Honorable George Ad
maston's calibre of mind and dignity of
character ever came to marry Peggy,
for we,know that all kinds of men mar
ry all kinds of women (the reverse of
that being true, likewise); but it is per
tinent to inquire the reason for ex
hibiting such a painful mesalliance on
the stage.
Of course. In the last act the hus
band ,flnde out that there really was no
significance to the chain of circum
stances which seemed to compass his
wife's faithlessness, and he takes her
In his arms and ask* to be forgiven—
which is the first real note of humor
struck in the play; for men invariably
do that when they are right, and stay
mad when they're "wrong. Whether
Peggy is cured of her habit of sitting
up late o' nights, clad in lingerie and
discussing love with ardent admirers,
the play does not divulge. If she ie
cured the moral may be found there.
The company presenting the play de
serves better consideration than the
play. Miss Dorothy L»ne struggles
with the role of the brainless butterfly
and does all that she can with it under
the difficult conditions imposed by the
plot. Much of vivacity is brought out,
and coquetry, too, and in the third act
scene where she is finally put to the
unpleasant task of admitting that she
is either an awful fool or an awful
liar, she 'slumps into hysteria with an
excellent impression of reality. She
goes at this scene with much temper
amental fervor, and makes the most of
her emotional appeals to the Jury and
her inquisitors. Chief among the lat
ter is Sir Robert Fyffe, who is the at
torney for the husband of Peggy, the
Right Honorable Admaston, M. P.
GOOD CHARACTERIZATIONS
Sir Robert is played with a lawyer's
insistence and a prosecutor's crafti
ness by Stanley Warming-ton. His ]
manner to his aßsistants, his aids and
his learned glances at his manuscript
are all admirably legal and genuine.
To Rees , hard lot falls the role
of Lady Atwill, whose gay red dresses,
enormous hate and insolent manners
proclaim her, to any theatergoer, the
adventuress who wrote the anonymous
letter that brought Admaston to Paris
to discover his wife's folly. That she
succeeded measurably in the undertak
ing is highly creditable to Miss Rees' j
actorial capacity.
J. Malcom Dunn Iβ the Lothario who
covets his neighbor's wife. His is a
mixed characterization, due to the ex
igencies of the unskilled playwright's
demands. He is everything from des
picably villainous, immoral and cynical
to highly heroic —all in four acts. Dunn
does as well as could be expected in
the role that might have been con
ceived in parliamentary documents, but
never in Piccadilly.
The comedy is supplied by the typical
English nobleman, who is such a stupid
ass, doncher know, and all that sort
of thing. Hamilton Dean, in the al
leged comedy, proved to me that he
could be funny if he had a chance.

Plan Proposed to Rehabilitate
Palo Alto Building and
Loan Association
[Special Dispatch to The Call]
PALO ALTO, Nov. 18.—The fate of
the Palo Alto Mutual Building and Loan
association, victimised to the extent of
1141,235.38 by its former secretary,
Marshall Black, was placed today in
the hands of the depositors and stock
holders, who must decide for them
selves whether the concern is to live or
is" to go through liquidation.
In a detailed statement sent out to
day, the committees of depositors and
stock holders outlined a plan for re
habilitation, which will make up the
shortage and give a margin of $12,476.46
over and above the deficit.
The plan, which is indorsed by the
executive committee of the depositors'
and stock holders' leagues ana Iry the
directors of the shattered concern,
calls upon the depositors to file with
B. G, Allen, new secretary of the asso
ciation, their written consent to the
scheme.
STATE OFFERS REWARD
FOR FUGITIVE BANDIT
SACRAMENTO, Nov. 18.—A reward of
$500 was offered today by Governor
Johnson on behalf of the state of
California for the arrest and convic
tion of the bandit who murdered H.
C. Pingrey in Gait, November 3, 1912.
It will be paid out of funds provided
by the legislature upon conviction.
Pingrey was shot in a saloon holdup.
LABOR COUNCIL IS
AGAINST MEASURE
Formal objection to the charter
amendment whloh provides for Inde
terminate and resettlement franchisee
was presented to the board of super
visors yesterday by the San Francisco
Labor council. This amendment, which
will be submitted to the voters Decem
ber 10 as No. 34, means a revolution
of conditions and terms under which
franchisee to public service corpora
tions, and especially street railways,
shall be granted, and the objection of
the Labor council gave Mayor Rolph
and the board considerable concern.
The amendment was prepared by
Blon J. Arnold and Dr. Delos F. Wii
cox, traction and fraction experts re
spectively. By resolution the Labor
council Betß forth that the amendment
is both complex and novel and that it
was prepared and approved so hastily
that the public had insufficient oppor
tunity to study its various Innovations
and provisions.
Certain defects exist In it from the
standpoint of labor, declared the coun
cil, and there are sections of it at
variance with public policy. The city
may find it more difficult to obtain
ownership of public utilities gradually,
under the amendment, than under
present conditions, said the labor or
ganization. Another objection wae
that the amendment fails to provide
that the question of granting each
franchise should be submitted by ref
erendum te the people, and that it al
lows only "time and a hair , for em
ployes who now receive in some cases
double pay for overtime.
Mayor Rolph inquired of Supervisor
Murphy the possibility of withdrawing
the amendment in accordance with the
request of the council, but was in
formed that a/iother charter amend
ment election following that of De
cember 10 could not be held for two
years. In view of that fact and the
desire of the supervisors to have a
complete readjustment Of franchises
an soon as possible, no action was
taken on the council's request that the
amendment be withdrawn. The pro
test of the council was referred to the
judiciary committee of the supervisors.
A protest from the electrical contract
ors' association against amendment No.
9 was also referred to the judiciary
comimttee. Supervisor Murphy ex
plained that there were three amend
ments which would go on the ballot by
petition and concerning" which the su
pervisors had no discretionary powers.
These are the local option, the depart
ment of electricity and the "two pla
toon" fire and police departments
amendments.
A resolution presented by Supervisor
Murphy was adopted, delegating the
publicity and judiciary committees to
inaugurate a campaign of publicity so
that the people might fully understand
the proposed amendments

both received probably fatal wounds in
the abdomen. Gerade was ehot in the
leg and back and Butler received a
bad wound in the hip.
The woman, also armed, had fired
several shots, some of which, it is
believed, hit the detectives. Evidently
crazed at hie 'gunwork, Vogel turned
his gun upon h!s young woman com
panion. She was shot through the
abdomen and sobn expired. Vogel made
quick work of himself by putting the
last bullet from his revolver into his
head, and fell dead.
Stolen Jewels Not Found
At a late hour two trunks and two
suitcases, which the couple had taken
to the hotel, were removed to a police
station, but the stolen Jewelry was not
found.
The police say that in tracing the
Vogel pair the detectives were prob
ably running down a completely organ
lied scheme for robbing residences
throughout the upper west side. The
indictment upon which the Beckendorf
girl was held charged her with numer
ous robberies of Jewels, amounting to
several thousand dollars.
According to the police, the girl
broke down tonight and confessed that
the Vogels were with her and that it
was to them she had given the stolen
articles. The plan of operation was for
the girl to advertise for a position as
domestic and as soon as she obtained
it to rob her employers' house.

No effort is spared to entertain vis

to regular band concerts, moving pic
tures illustrating the methods of man
ufacturing various commodities on dis
play. The pictures will be a part

Assistant City Attorney Thomas
Haven announced to the board yester
day that the supreme court would grant
the order affirming Judge Seawell's de
cision this morning. Aside from un
foreseen obstacles there is nothing to
prevent the agreement going into fifect
today.
At the special session this afternoon
the board will finally pass the ordinance
which gives the Sutter Street Railway
company permission to operate the Sut
ter street and the Jackson street cars
to the city front. This ordinance also
contains all the provisions of the agree
ment that was passed to print a week
ago by the board. It could not be
finally passed until today, as the char
ter provides that a bill must be officially
advertised five successive days.
DECISION MODIFIED
Assistant City Attorney Haven ap
peared before the supervisors yester
day afternoon and said that he had
waited upon the supreme court and
requested that the Seawell de
cision be affirmed. By this decision the
Sutter Street Railway company Is de
nied the use of the tracks in lower
Market street, but the decision is so
modified as to permit the Sutter street
care to go to the ferry under the con
ditions of the compromise agreement.
Haven explained to the board that
the supreme court had notified him that
It was ready to grant the order, but
desired that it be prepared In the city
attorney's office. Assurance was given
by the court that the order would be
signed this morning.
TODAY WILL SETTLE IT
"Two resolutions have been adopted
by your board," said Haven, "One
authorized the city attorney to obtain
an affirmance of the Seawell decision.
The other authorized the mayor to exe
cute the agreement. Aβ already stated,
the supreme court will grant the order
tomorrow morning. Mayor Rolph may
then sign the agreement. The board
may then finally pass the ordinance to
morrow afternoon, and the agreement
will be In effect."
"I will sign the agreement at 9:30
tomorrow morning," said Mayor Rolph
last night. "It will be signed by the
Sutter Street Railway company and the
United Railroads. Attorney Haven as
sures me that the supreme court will
grant the affirmance of the Seawell
decision tomorrow morning. When the
board passes the ordinance tomorrow
afternoon the agreement will be in
force. There will be nothing then to
prevent the Sutter e%reet cars going to
the ferry. The -horsecars should be

ROMANCE OF ACTOR
FOLK TERMINATED
Gayetty Is Divorced From Bene
dict MacQuarrie of Grand
- Opera House Fame
A romance that budded behind the
Curtain of the old Grand Opera house
in stock company days before the fire
and ripened into a marriage in the
strenuous April days of 1906, has ended
In the filing of a suit for divorce by
Myrtle Gayetty MacQuarrie against
Benedict MacQuarrie, known on the
local rlalto a> "Ben" MacQuarrie. Mrs.
MacQuarrie charges her husband with
desertion and non support. The actor
is now in New York.
Mrs. MacQuarrie, who Uvea at 1934 A
Union street, was leading woman last
year with comedian Wilfred Clarke,
while her husband appeared here in
"Baby Mine" under the management
of W. A. Brady. The marriage took
place on April 24, 1906 MacQuarrie and
his fiancee having become engaged at
the Grand Opera house.
Mrs. MacQuarrie laughingly denied
that the filing of her suit yesterday
presaged a new theatrical engagement.
She said she had not seen her husband
for more than a year and that he had
not contributed a cent toward her sup
port.
Judge J. J. Van Nostrand yesterday
annulled the marriage of Jessie E. and
David Dunlop upon the wife's showing
that her husband had one wife when h«
married her on September 15 of this
year. Mrs. Dunlop, who lived in
Michigan, corresponded with Dunlop
through a matrimonial bureau with
the result that she came to San Fran
cisco and was married to the defendant.
A week after the marriage she learned
that he had married a woman named
"Margaret" in 1893. When she taxed
her husband with his duplicity Dunlop
said that he had not lived with his
wife for 5 years and considered that
he was divorced. The husband failed
to contest Mrs. Dunlop's suit and she
was allowed to resume her maiden
name of Weeden.
Judge J. M. Seawell yesterday al
lowed Mrs. Ida G. Knowles alimony of
(60 a month from John R. Knowles,
saloon man and former supervisor. The
husband pleaded an agreement made
by his wife and himself to the effect
that neither should present a claim
against the property of the other In
case of separation or divorce.
The following complaints were filed
yesterday:
Margaret A., against Richard F. Mac-
Kenzie, cruelty; Theodora against
Engvald Austad, cruelty; Amanda
against August Stetting, desertion:
Caroline against Frank Fisher, cruelty;
