New Detective Film Has
Real Thrills All Through

The cunning intrigues Of a mys-
terious clique of criminals, directed
in their murderous and inexplicable
operations by an unknown, almost
unseen, genius OF evil deeds-this
epic of mystery recounts the daring.
ingenuity and scientific mastery Of
the most unique detective character
of modern drama and literature,
John Shirley"
The great criminologist, wealthy
clubman and trained athlete is called
upon by the police authorities to
solve the uncanny mystery of series
of murders of well known miAion-
aires. To the surprise of the GRIM
inals he takes into his confidence
Polly Marion, a beautiful young
actress who has unwittingly been a
tool Of the conspirators. With this
young woman he not only pursues
his quarry with every artiice Of mod
ern science, but by impersonating
their intended victims he gradually
draws into the net of justice the
various members Of the nefarious Or
ganization.
With the aid Of Inspector Cronin
Of the New York detective bureau he
comes nearer and nearer to the cap
ture of Red Warren, foreign adven-
turer of titled family, who is the
nominal head Of the malevolcnt
brotherhood.
His trusted friend, DR.. Reynolds,
the scientist, accompanies him on his
manifold adventures against the in
creasingly bitter conspirators. More
than once he saves his friend from
an untimely death. Beautiful Polly,
inspired by the gallantry and un-
selfish devotion OF the detective, en-
ters with growing ardor into the
great pursuit, although her own dam
ger grows with every exploit.
The most battling phase in the case
is the constant activity OF an uncanny
and inexplicable being which con-
tinually interferes with the progress
Of John Shirley's' battles against the
evil forces. This is "The Voice on
the Wire" which disrupts and battles
the work OF the police, sends into In
creased danger and greater vicissi-
tudes the innocent victims Of the
great conspiracy, by frequent mes
sages over the telephone which can
never be located by the detective. his

Thrilling Pictures
Of American Boys
In France Coming

One OF the most interesting and ap.
pealing features Of the motion pictures
Of "The War" are the films showing
the splendid work of the American
ambulance corps in France.
Thousands of young Americans
have enlisted for this arduous and
dangerous service, and the cool, meth
odical, unperturbed manner in which
they rescue and bear away the wound
cd under deadly FIRE from explosive
shells and machine guns has evoked
the most enthusiastic praise from the
French military authorities.
General Jotfre recently said that "the
first pages of American history were
written in French blood" No doubt
these American youths were impelled
to offer themselves for this dangerous
service by the memory of those gal
lant Frenchmen who, in the early
days Of the American republic, came
TO its aid with their swords and their
fortunes, and freely gave their lives
in its hard-fought battles against a
superior foe.
From those remote days to the
present American sympathy and sup
port have been gratefully extended
to France in its many trials and
struggles for political and individual
freedom, and the similarity in ideals
and aspirations of the two countries
have constantly drawn them closer
together. Today by the service and
sacrifices OF these brave young am-
bulance drivers and thousands Of
other Americans who are serving
France in the hour OF its direst need,
America may feel that great debt is
being paid and a duty to humanity
well performed.
The motion pictures Of the Ameri-
can ambulance field service in France
are being distributed by General
Film company, (Inc.), by arrange
ment with Official Government Pic
lures, Inc, the corporation controlling
their production in America. They
were secured through the committee
OF the American ambulance service,
consisting OF Mrs. w. X. Vanderbilt,
Miss Anne Morgan, Miss Elizabeth
Marbury, and their associates. Fifty
per cent Of the gross profits Of Official
Government Pictures, Inc, will be
donated to the American ambulance
field service in France; the remain
ing so per cent will go to needy and
deserving war relief funds.
"The War" pictures also include the
battel Of the Somme, the only motion
pictures of actual fighting ever filmed,

police assistants or even the tele-
phone officials.
And through the episodes, which
grow in their vitality and suspense,
the battling "Muff1ed Figure" pursues
its mysterious way-now here-now
there-appearing invariably at the
psychological moments when John
Shirley is about to capture his prey.
All Of this. is Of course the story Of
THE Voice on the Wire" which fea-
lures handsome Ben Wilson and
beautiful Neva Gerber, which will
soon be shown at the leading motion
picture theaters.

the British grand feet in the North
Sea, the American aviation corps in
thrilling manaeuvers above the clouds,
etc. All are official pictures, taken by
the warning governments for their
official records, and are creating much
talk and enthusiasm at every theater
in which they are being shown.
