The Story: The *‘Big Happiness’’ of John Dant ecom=s to him one stormy night whan he has ql- most given up hope. By flishes of i htning h 2 watches a hitte. conflict between a man and a woman in a room opposite his window in a Paris street and the man’s face is im- pressed on his memory. His thourhts are suddenly diverted by the appearance of his twin broiher, James, from whom he has long been separated. James is on the edge of a great financial deal which requires his temporary disappearance in spite of the fact that he is just married. John is persuaded to take the gioom’s place and keep up ap- pearances so far as the world is concerned, James trusting to his brother’s honor in the matrimon:al venture. The brothers change places and John unconsciousiy starts on a very perilous enterprise. He quick'y learns that his bride has been a purchase, and he is relieved that she elects to be a ‘*wife in name only.”’ John’s finer nature, far less sordid than that of James, wins socially wherever he and his wife go. She overcomes her prejudice when he saves her hfe through a daring exhibition of horsemanship. She grows ford of him because of hiz delicate conduct toward her. But there are sinister influerces at work to expose the change of identity. Proof now comes that James has gone down ¢n an Atlan ic liner, and “ohn is free to love the woman chance has placed wirhia |i. reach as a wife. He is threatened with exposure by a man he recogniz>s as the one he saw by the flash of lightning, who committed murder that night. When he is disposed of, back comes James, a physical wreck. James is no Enoch Arden. To the contrary. he liys claim to the wife, now grown beautiful through love’s influence. He turns his brother out of doors and attacks his wife like a madman. At the height of his excitement and strugele his weak heart fails. He dies, and John’s ''Big Happiness’ is now assured by kindly fate. Thursday Evening: ADMISSION Reserved Seats.... .....20¢.

Ist.-—Both surprise and regret are expressed in Paris at the im- pression caused in London by the French and Balgian replies to Lord Curzon’s te- paration note.
