 GERMAN PREMIER
1contInued from rage onel

in the world war. Today we raise the question of peace, which is a question of humanity. We await the answer of our enemies with that soreness of mind which is guaranteed us by our exterior and in terior strength and by our clear con science. If our enemies decline to end the war, if they wish to take upon them selves the worlds heavy burden of all these terrors which hereafter will follow, then even in the least and smallest homes every German heart will burn in sacred wrath against our enemies, who are un- willing to stop human slaughter in order that their plans of conquest and anni- hilation may continue.
 In fateful hour we took a fateful de- cision. It. has been saturated with the blood of hundreds of thousands of our sons and brothers who gave their lives for the safety of their homes. God will be the judge We can proceed upon our way without fear and unashamed. We are ready for fighting and We are ready for peace"

"oliver Twist" featuring Marie Doro, today
 Thousands have enjoyed Miss Doros s interpretation of oliver" Hobart Bos- worth as Bill Sikes, Fully Marshall as Fagin. and Raymond IIatton as The Artful Dodger.
 The settings for many of the scenes are replicas modelled from the original drawings and other authoritative data compiled concerning London at the time Dickens wrote. The groupings on the screen are the actual scenes as they occur in the illustrations of the book, notable among them being the famous incident in which Oliver is depicted in the act of asking the master of the poor house for more gruel. This episode leads to Oli- ver's incarceration in the cellar for be- ing rebellious and finally leads to his flight to London, where he falls in with the Artful Dodger and Fagin.
 Those who do not see this production will be missing one of the very best picture plays yet attempted.
 Another splendid Hart picture is at the Triangle today. This latest feature Is called "The Devils Double,' and as Bowie Blake, bad man, faro dealer and former outlaw, Hart depicts one of his very best screen characterizations, and that is saying a lot.
 The story revolves around an artist who seeks model for his painting, "Lucifer, Son of the Morning. Passing through an Arizona border town, he finds his devil in the person of a faro dealer. Falling in love with the artsit's wife, the faro dealer finally agrees to pose for the picture.
 From this characterization grows a. drama of the most gripping sort and the play is one of continuous thrills to the finish.

 Second the father turns over the care of his children to woman. The woman is entrusted with the care, the health and development of prospective voters without herself being entrusted with the ballot.
 Third, the men are taught by women in the public schools. The average voter has a common school education of as high as the eighth grade. He secured the Fundamentals of his political thought from the public schools taught by wom- en, who teach him how to vote and why he has to vote while they are themselves denied the privilege of the ballot.
 Fourth, women are the business part ners of men. Where woman handles the finances there is economy. She shares the management of the home without the vote to protect it.
 Fifth, to protect the home from the r9v wages of the wicked. Ninety-eight per cent of the inmates of jails are men. The women have sense enough to keep out of jail and they are moral enough to go to church. but are not good enough to be granted the power of the vote.

 ASSAILS THE SALOON
 On prohibition Mir. Bryan made viz orous attack on the saloon, and also as- sailed the whisky traffic as a disgrace from which even the distillers and the brewers revolted in shame as in the abundance of their wealth they lived elsewhere than in the neighborhood of saloons, which were placed only about the poor. He urged that saloons should be forced to have big plate glass win dow where all could see the dispensing of liquors and that drunkards should be caged in front of saloons instead of being jailed.
 "The only simile that seems to fit the policy of licensing saloons and then Nf hning the ones who get drunk is of li- men to spread the itch and then to arrest all persons who were caught scratching," said MT. Bryan, amid the laughter of the crowd.
 Mir. Bryan also stated that as only criminals and the insane were graduates of saloons. this peculiar Amer iean institution was not very proud of its graduates, and that it was one Amer can business that did not advertise it's finished product
 Thank God" said MT. Bryan, with emphasis, that have lived to see the day that a man can be respectable in he democratic party without being drunk. The sweep of nationwide prohibition is l worldwide movement and the south should be proud of the fact that it is movement fostered in the south. and the movement has now gained such head way that neither of the great political parties can afford to espouse the cause of liquor Four years ago I did not ex- pect to live to see national prohibition an important national issue, but within the past year I have seen the dawning of 3 saloonless nation

Fly H. S. RYALL

RYALL
 Mr. Hart isassisted in The Devils Double" by Enid Markey and Robert McKim
 Hobart Henleys performance in the Bluebird feature, "The Sign of the Pop py," the attraction at the Trianon today is about the best thing this actor has given the screen.
 He presents a powerful piece of acting and virtually enacts three characters, the straight lead, the same man with his wits gone and the opium fiend. His changes are remarkable and one would never believe he could make himself as absolutely hideous as he does, because he has not before taken such roles. It is frank melodrama, but mighty good n.elodrama.

 Some months ago Charles Ray wrote the shell of a photoplay and took it to Richard Willis, the motion picture eX- pert, to look over, Willis told him that his detail was excellent, but he had no plot-it was all character drawing and no story.

The bill at the Lyric is one of the most entertaining presented in a long time, and at no time has an audience been kept in such a continuous uproar of laughter as this bill affords.
