At the Temple.

"T'he Woman's Law" is a modern
drama. the theme OF which is largely
built up on the curious (although al
together probable) theme of a mans
physical double George Orcutt, a
dissolute young New York millionaire
has forfeited his wife's respect and af-
fection by his notorious infidelities..
Gail Orcutt. his wife, centers her at
tentions on her young son, Vance, and
withdraws from society in a sense of
shame for her husbands misconduct
Orcutt, continuing his wild life, slays
a friend in a quarrel over a young
woman. With the fear of the law on
him he tells his wife all, and she. in
an attempt to save him, starts for the
office of her friend, District Attorney
John Kent. On the way she comes
upon the living double of her husband,
a stranger, sitting on a park bench,
his mind stunned by terrific shock.
She takes the unresisting man TO her
home, and. telling her husband to flee,
substitutes the stranger for him.

Audrey is distinctly different
from any character which Miss Fred

that the star herself has declared il

fee announced this afternoon.
The Germans. by a strong attack.
captured n French trench north or
Haudromont duarries. on the east
bank.
Though violent artillery duels con-
tinued throughout the night, there were
no important infantry struggles either
around Fort Douaumont or on the
Dead Mans Hill front. west OF the
river. D..
Practically all French military critics
agreed today that this weeks fighting
at Verdun has been the bioocicst in
history. The Germans have lost moro
men than in any other week OF the war.
The French gain was made In a
small wood. between the river and the
village OF Cumieres. Though the adj
vance was slight the positions won by
the French expose the Germnas to n
thanking attack II they attempt to push
southwark from Cumieres. The south
ern exits from Cumieres are under fire
OF French artillery, and little fear is
felt here over the possibility of an ad-
vance from this quarter.
General Nivelle made no attempt to
recapture the Fort Douaumont ruins
from the Germans during the night.
Apparently through sheer exhaustion
both sides almost completely halted in
fantry operations around the fort.
