 "Graustark" is one of the most pop- ular novels put in circulation in years. It has been widely read, has been seen in dramatized form by thousands and is probably as well known as any of the romantic stories published in a long time. In the movies" it bids fair to be another remarkable success. It has been high- ly praised in every city where it has been shown and crowded houses have been the rule everywhere.

national fame Mile. Bara's striking and beautiful face has been called "The Wickedest in the World In The Devils Daughter" which is now playing at the local Fox theater, she portrays character even more ir1- sinuatingly evil than in any of her other great successes.
 "The Devils Daughter" opens with theft of Le Giocondas beautiful jewels by Lugi, a former lover while she is being embraced by Antonio who has superseded Lugi in her capricious affections. Lugi leaves a note telling her that he has stolen the jewels out of vengeance and she will never see him again. La Gioconda discovers the note after Antonio has left, and her passionate rage is tigerish over the theft "As he has done to me so shall I do to all men," she exclaims. From now on my heart is ice, my passion as fire and thus let all men beware" Time passes and many lives gre wrecked by her trihings. The climax comes startlingly and rises to great dramatic heights. La Giocon- da's evil career marked by ruined lives and withered hopes suffers a fearful end in scene of overwhelm- ing power and another sensational climax brings this most impressive modern society drama to a dramatic close.
