 SYNOPSIS.
 A soul laid bare.
 A, masterly analysis of the passions and emotions of humanity.
 That is what Augusta Evans has given the world in "St. Elmo" the most popular play and novel ever written in America.
 In the screen version of this mod ern classic, the producers have con- structed a film play in which all of the dramatic intensity and realistic characterization of the novel is skill fully retained.
 The outdoor settings were made in southern California and the natural beauty of the wonderful tropic adds greatly to the effect of the picture The members of the cast were se- lected without regard for expense, in- |dividual ability being the only con- sideration and the result is a per formance of unsurpassed artistry. Briefly told the story is as follows: St. Elmo, the high-strung, sensi tive sciou of an aristocratic family, discovers a clandestine love affair be- tween his fiance and his best friend, Murray Hammond. In a frenzy of rage he challenges Hammond, kills him in a duel and thereafter, his faith in humanity shattered, he lives the life of prof. ligate and scoundrel. He outrages the feelings of his family, insults his friends, and his mad career of dissipation is carrying him perilously near the verge of mad ness.
 Then rate 1nterVeneS. He meets the woman who is des- tined to be his salvation. A mere slip of girl is Edna Earl an innocent, unsullied by contact with the world, but she does what the pleadings of a mother, the adjura- tions of minister of the gospel have been unau4e to bring about. Through her, St. Elmo renews his trust in God and mankind, and his moral and spiritual regeneration full ly accomplished. he finally wins her for his own. / AT 500 P. M.

BRAZIL REMAINS

Ships in its Ports.

BERLIN, April 6.-Baron Oscar de Teffe, the Brazilian minister to Germany, in an interview today de- nied the report that Brazil would seize interned German ships in her ports. He said "the Brazilian Govern ment will not take any measures which would violate the strict neu- trality which is being observed by her. My Government is perfectly in- formed concerning the German situa- ton."
 The Minister is also quoted as say ing that the recent reports that it was the Brazilian Governments in- tention to follow Portugal's example and seize German interned ships must be accepted with the utmost re. serve; that the President of Brazil Dr. Braz Periera Gomez is a man o1 strong personality and of calm de- meanor and meyer treats passionately or precipitately any political ques. tion and further would act only ac' cording to Brazil's interests. The President, the Minister added, had ordered and maintained since the be- ginning of the war the strictest neu trality, and even had insisted upor the retirement of one of his secre taries who had taken part in wal material transactions.
