The principal character in the play

by Miss Emma Dunn. best remembered
perhaps for her excellent acting in the
title part OF Mother" few seasons

breeding whose means of livelihood

employment given her as secretary to
DR.. Greyson, an old friend of her fam
lily. Doris falls in love with Kirk
prominent citizen and. through his
selfish manipulations, discovers she is
accused of theft and that detectives are
following her to make an arrest. Her
wrath at the revelation of his true self
is left of her sympathetic qualities and
womanly instincts. and vows that she
will make Brentwood suffer as she has
suffered: that his downfall and loss of
every happiness will be the price of his
disloyalty to her To this end she de-
vises a plan TO wreck his life, and pre-
vious to the last scene in the play. sees
her work accomplished. But here the
story takes on an unique change, and a
happy ending is the result, after a
tions. In addition to Miss Dunn the
cast will include: Earl Browne. Amelia
Gardner, Gertrude Dallas, Henry Har-
mon, Pauline Duffield, John Stokes. Ed

If your wife has ever stopped to the

show all by themselves, and she is
going to bring her company to Harris

AT THE VICTORIA
"rhe Nations Peril"

The Nations Peril" was designed
to satisfy an apparently Unsuitable de-
mand for plays on the subject of war
and preparedness. one of the chief
points that has been made in this pic
ture is that many so-called peace ad-
vocates are in reality secret agents of
hostile nations Thus the dove of
peace-at-any- price is brought into this
picture and discredited. The producer
of THE Nations Peril" has introduced
some unusual and spectacular photo
graphic effects. The most striking of
these are the scenes which show the
firing of some big guns. These pictures
were taken at night and are colored.
Almost all the battle scenes were taken
after dark and are extraordinary pic
lures. Many of the scenes were taken
in the United States training station at
Newport, and Secretary Daniels and
other prominent officials in the Navy
make their appearance. One of the
most exciting incidents is where the
young lieutenant, who has been bound
and gagged by the enemy, succeeds in
eleCtrocuting a spy who is sending a
wireless to his country.
