(UtACE DAEMON l>, WEDNESDAY. On Wednesday I’ollai-ds are presenting a hip; Rely nick Suiter Feature, entitled “’ldle Invisible Divorce” sinning Grace Durmoml and an all-star east. \ remarkable and vivid story ot modern life that begins where most stories leave off - the marriage. In “The Invisible Divorce” the “eternal trianglesituation is augmented by being turned into a four-sided problem in matrimonial mathematics, the principal characters being two men and two women upon whom the conjugal yoke hears lienvilv. One couple is poor, the othei rich. The poor man is enamoured of the rich woman, and his affection is re-j turned. The other parties concerned become aware of the situation, and although no open rupture occurs, a sort of invisible divorce takes plaee. Ibe position oxists for sovcrnl yonrs, until events tnlce piano t-lmt revise matters entirely, and the unseen barrier is removed. This powerful stnrv is one of trusting devotion that kept bravely up in the face of tlu* most distressing eireuinstances, and a love that never swerv ed in the path of adversity, I.cntrice .Toy and Walter McGroil enact the roles of the poor couple, and A\ alter Alillnr and draco Durmond play the opposing pair.

On Thursday “The A.B.C. of Rove.” starring Mae Murray, brings all her vivacity and charm to the Princess Theatre on Thursday, in a picture that might he called a “dramatic romance.” In “The A.B.C. of Love” Miss Murray portrays the role of an orphan as innocent and ignorant as she is beautilui. A phi vriglit marries her and finds her adorable in her rustic country setting, hut whim he takes her to the city and compares her with the worldly Diana, the star of his plays, the little maid suffers by comparison. The story blends comedy and pathos and also touches highly dramatic spots. The cast is a splendid cue with 11. F.. Herbert playing the husband who is more human than heroic; Dorothy Green must alluring as the actress and Arthur Donaldson a reliable friend in need.
