B. Warner plays trio-part OF news
paper correspondent. German ondcel
and English lieutenant, who in real
ity Is an intrepid secret service OF
ncial In the employ Of the British
government. His identity is mys
terry to all with whom he comes II
contact, but his credentials are never
questioned and thus he has the free
dom OF all the territory in the fight
ing zone. The big moment in the
play arrives when he is forced to de
eide whether he Is really human
being with heart and red-hot blood
or only q thinking machine without q
conscience, that is manipulated from
military headquarters.
While this production Is staged in

man interest and love is heard above
the intrigues and din OF shot and
shell.
