Miss Grace Cunard, who will appear
in “After the War,” a five-reel Argosy
feature of a woman's sacrifice for the
man she loved, at the Tudor Theater

novel marriage proposals on record.
It came by letter from a personage
kndwn as Al Kazin Bula W Tripoli,
worded as follows:
“Ah, beloved of all women, whose
smile 1s like the glint of the golden
sun, come out of the screen to me.
I would take you In holy wedlock
and make of you favorite of all my
twenty-seven wives. I woux heap
upon you all the wealth of e opu

‘been made the basic theme of 8 pho
toplay In which Grace Cunard, known
from ecoast to coast as “The Serial
Queen,” will appear at the Tudor
Theater next week, the engagement
beginning Monday. (
The feature is called “After the
War” and was prepared for the
screen by Harvey Gates from Kings
ley Benedict's story of the same
name.
Gerve, prima donna of the Opera
Comique in Paris after the war, lived
a life of mystery. Beautiful, cul
tured and kind, she was the idol of
the patrons of opera, but of her pri
vate life they knew nothing. The
presence of a child in her home add
ed to the mystery. Fayolle, the
French Minister, proposed marriage
to her, but she refused him. Signor
Benoito, the Itallan Ambassador, sug
gested that Gerve probably was
mourning her soldier lover, Phillipe
Sardonia, whom she had not seen

In His Stirring Dramatization of ZANE GREY’S Thrilling
Western Story,
SEQUEL TO ‘““‘RIDERS OF THE PURPLE SAGE.”
Zane Grey writes of ‘‘Sealed Wives” in ‘‘The Rainbow
Trail’’ as women living apart in a hidden city of the wilder
ness—as occupants of an Adamless Eden. Shefford, the prin

city and there finds the drearfl girl—'‘the SBago Lily’’—for
whom he has long searched the plains, the deserts and the
mountains of the great West,
Mr. Grey was asked for a statement explanatory of the
term ‘‘Sealed Wives.”” This is his answer:
‘‘Sealed Wives Are the Extra Wives Mormons Have in
Secret.”’

One day in Paris, at a benefit for
war orphans, the secret came out
Gerve met Phillipe again and, at the
same time, came face to face with
Karl Wetz, a former German officer,
and hig wife. Phillipe told Gerve how
the years of carnage had falied to kill
his love for her, and begged her to
become his wife, Gerve loved him
still, but she refused him.
In a room in her apartment, Gerve
showed her child to Phillipe and told
him how she had sacrificed herself
one day during the war to Wetz, in
order to save him (Phillipe) from a
firing squad. Phillipe refused to be

husband and Gerve when they met,
determined to learn whether there
had been an affair between them. She

she was there, Wetz, who had felt the
