GREAT DETECTIVE
AT THE VALENCIA

Prince Hagen" Upton Sinclair's ex-
.ceedingly interesting fantastic drama,
which has set the community talking,
will receive its final presentations at
the Valencia theater this afternoon and
evening, and on Monday night that
gripping and fascinating tale of de-
tective life, sherlock Holiness" dram
atized from A. Conan Doyle's spel1bind-
Ing adventures of that mysterious man
by William Gillette and played by him
with such great success, will receive
an elaborate production.
The story concerns Miss Alice Faulk-
ner, who is kept a prisoner by James
ana Madge 1arrabee in order that they
may secure package of letters writ

sherlock Holmes to locate and restore
these letters, and when the Larrabees
IT'D the famous detective on their trail
they secure the services of Professor
Moriar1ty and his crew of thieves
and cutthroats, that are desig-
mated the most Infamous band of law
breakers In London. Moriarity has had
bitter experiences with Holmes and de-
cides to nut him out of the way, so he
enters the combat with great zest and
earnestness. The fight between Holmes
and the gang is a desperate one, but
he easily outwits the men pitted
against him and emerges the personifi-
cation or coolneSs from every trap laid
by the professional scoundreis.
The cast of Sherlock Holmes will in
clude all the favoriteS of the Valencia
stock company, and as Conan Doyle's
world famed detective hero Robert
warwick will have one of the oppor-
tunities Of his career. He is admirably
