The first wire for the Brooklyn s9s-
pension bridge was stretched across
the East river forty years ago. This
structure, the first of the great bridges
connecting Manhattan and Brooklyn,
was designed by John A. Roebing, and
construction work commenced early in
1870. The caisson for the Brooklyn
tower was sunk in 1871, and the Man.

June 70, will be Jane Grey in the Triumph Equitable five-reel production entitled Man and His Angel" This is the first appearance of this charming young star under the Equitable man. agement but she will be remembered by motion picture patrons for her wonderful work in various big feat ures produced by the Famous Players and the Triangle Companies.
 The story of Man and His Angel is particularly absorbing in it's char acter studies and the power of it's element of suspense. It deals with the influence for good eXerted by a woman over mans evil nature. Miss Grey has a role that offers unusual opportunities for the display of emo tionaI talents. one that wins the sym pathy of the spectators from the first. Her performance in this picture K undoubtedly the artistic triumph or her career.

 But this picture goes even further than portraying any one or two of the above thrills. for if has packed all in one. making it full of red-blooded act ion such as is. seldom seen in any pic ture.

"THE ELlRT"

Very interesting and truly Ameri- can in all it's characteristics is the story of "The Flirt," adapted to the screen by Lois Weber. from the serial story by Booth Harrington, which ap- peared several months ago in the Sat urday Evening Post. It will be seen at the Orpheum theatre today with Marie Walcamp playing the title role.
 Briefly here is the plot of the piece; In a typical American small town liy- ed a man and wife who had two daughters and a younger son. One of the girls was a born fiirt, and her trifiing disposition was the bane of her brothers young life. The other sister was of the self-sacrificing type not at all uncommon in American families.
 Three men of the town have fallen victims to the flirt's wilfulness They are broken hearted but show their grief in different ways. One takes to drink, another is reconciled and 2 third clings with despairing hope to his suit for the flirt's favor. Comes to the town an adventurer. who seeks to finance his swindling schemes at the expense of men he had known when he was a boy in the same town.
 The fiirt's father is the leading rep resentative of business integrity in the community: his good name. how ever, is about all he has. To secure her fathers influence the swindler works through the weakness of the f'irtatious daughter, feigning that he is smitten with her charms. Her egot- ism leads her to further his swindling schemes when the adyenturer taunts her with the assertion that he does not believe she can influence men as she claims she can.
 How the firt met her fate at the hands of the adventurer, and how she got even with the only man who had ever proven to, be more than match for her wilfulness completes a most interesting photoplay. The entry of a secret service man brings matters to a climax. The flirtatious girl GOV CTS her remorse by demanding a has ty marriage with one of her original victims: a second victim of her heart less methods kills the swindler. whC had humiliated her, and the third vic tim of her charms finally marries the faithful and self-sacrificing sister
