TODAY'S ADJUSTMENTS.

George Kleine's beautiful six-parL
r,,aster1iece. ''Du Barry" which visits
tbe A1hambra theater today and tomor-
row featuring Mrs. Leslie Carter IN
the title role, is founded on the play
which in turn received its inspiration
from the dramatic events Of the reign
Of Touis XIV. It was the wasteful eX-
travagance Of Nine. Du Barry that was
largely responsible for the "pacte de
famine which allowed Louis XIV to
corner the wheat supply Of France ana
sell it to the people at greatly al
1-aDced nrices. This led to the first
revolt which some eighteen years iater
resulted in the overthrow Of monarchy
in France and the .frightful bloody
events Of the French Revolution.
The Kleine film takes up the history
of Nine. Du Barry when she was an
humble milliner's model known to her
associates as Jeanette Naubernler-
How that dissolute TOue and gambler
Conte Jean Du Barry fastened upon the
innocence of the pretty milliner, los
