ner, at wlNse death Janissary became
the girls guardian. Deeima and
Stephen have a commoI cause in
their interest in the poor and their
friendship quickly ripens into love.
Meanwhile Janissary, woo has
crushed many since he attacked Van
Tromp, CLANS to crush others. Docu-
ments III his safe will convict certain
men of 'criminality, long since for
gotten. Through the PAPERS he seeks
to bend these men to his WILL Deci-
ma and Stephen both have strong
interest in one of Janissary's pros
pective victims, and when Decima
tells Stephen that the discriminating
papers are in her guardians safe, he
determines to steal them, as his last
illegal act.
Then Van Tromp gets his revenge.
He betrays Stephen. When Janissary
has him arrested, not knowing his
identity, Van Tromp triumphs in dis
closing to him that the robber is his
own son. He tells Janissary that for
making him a pauper, he has made
Janissary's son thief.
Janissary, overcome by the revela-
ton, shoots himself. An old will is
found which leaves Janissary's entire
fortune to his son, so Stephen and
Decima marry and devote themselves
and their millions to helping the poor.

;
Viola Allen i'm ssThe White Sister"
After repeated attempts to book
this magnificent picture, Proprietor
Won Lotten of the Gem has finally
succeeded in securing the film for
presentation Sunday 4 AAagrss2 {, This
announcement will be received with
intense qualification by the patrons
of the popular house, since the pro-
duction has created sensation
wherever shown and is universally
conceded to be one of the very finest
achievements of the motion picture
art. Viola Allen plays the title role,
with Richard C. Travers as leading
man and an all-star supporting cast.
Six reels are required to tell the
story of "The White Sister"
reels that are crowded every moment
with the hurrying events of great
life drama. The pictures are superb ;
the costumes are correct in every de-
tail; the scenes are perfectly laid as
to atmosphere. There is nothing
missing, nothing wanting in this most
beautiful and wonderful of motion
pictures. Many thought the limit of
perfection had been reached in the
stage production of the famous play,
but the film version is even greater
and better, because Viola Allen has,
before the screen, done the greatest
work of h llustriouSMereer
The stof9@of F'The white Sister, 2"
in brief, is as follows:
Disinherited, illegitimated under the
Italian law-her lover reported dead
in Africa-heartbroken and weary of
the world-Donna Angela Chiaro-
monte becomes the White Sister, de-
voting her life to good and the SER
vice of the Master. Called to nurse
her dying aunt, Angela learns she was
disinherited because the aunt stole
her fathers will. After five years,
Lieutenant Giovanni Severi, the low
er, returns as from the dead. Seri-
ously injured in an explosion at the
barracks where he is stationed, he de-
rernines to die unless Angela will
marry him. She loves him more than
she loves her life, but refuses marrl-
age because of her vows as the White
Sister. A prince of the church inter
venes and promises to obtain from His
Holiness the Pope dispensation that
will free her from her vows and allow
her to marry. This brings happiness
to everyone, including the sister SUI
perior of the convent, who, Angela
has learned, is her real mother, and
sister of the woman who she always
thought wa ia her parent. 1t is the
most beauti I story ever written OF
mans dev pm and a woman's self

All is not easy money that flows
into the pockets OF the efncient and

porous golf or country club. There
are pitfalls in his path that the
roses Of dalliance and enjoyment
must never screen from the vision.
IL the money he earns is to be trans
formed into a healthy bank account.
He must keep a watchful eye on

age.
