BLANCHE SWEET AT
THE IDAHO THEATER

Blanche Sweet, the popular idol of
the screen, will be scene at the Idaho
theater on Friday and Saturday in
1.-THE Dupe," written especially for her.
Blanche Sweet, by her ability alone,
has risen to be one of the most dis
tinguished artists of the silent drama.
In "The Dupe" she is seen as the So
cial secretary to a capricious and
flighty society woman. The story tells
how, as a countrified young girl she
secures employment as a social secre-
tary in wealthy family. The wife,
madly in love with a young society
man, becomes jealous of his atten-
tons to her assistant Wishing to rid
herself of her husband and compel the
young man to marry her, she man
ages to place the girl in a compromis
ing position with her husband, where
she is also seen by the man she loves.
How the affair is adjusted and she
eventually is united with the one
whom she loved, is presented in
most unusual and attractive manner.

my people in Russia" he said when
interviewed today, "are on the point of
collapse, having no home and no place
on which to lay their heads Millions
are homeless and are eating grass and
cooking leaves for food. But this is
the end of the beginning for the Jews
1t makes no difference what nation or
nations win the present European war,
the Jews will, as a race, go back to
Palestine and there be given their lost
land. No one can realize the way the
Jews are treated in Europe In my
opinion the time is soon at hand when
these sufferings will be over"
Mr.. Goldman says that the condition
of 100000 Jews is intolerable. They
have been driven forth from Poland
by the German armies and refused adj
mission inside the Russian lines by
the soldiers of the car, so that are
starving between the two forces. He
