Kitty Gordon in pixie Theatre.

THE Beloved Adventures" booked
AT the Dixie today is vivid drama
of the wages of sin, with an unus-
ually strong and sympathetic charac-
ter in tie tile role. while the story
itself is not particularly original, the
details of direction and the work OF
the excellent cast bring out its mes
sage with striking emphasis. The
background provides number OF
very artistic exteriors, including
views around the Capitol at Washing.
ton. the environs of large country
estate and several very realistic bat
tie scenes.
The story traces the evolution OF a
soul in woman who finds the con-
sequences of her doubtful life visited
upon her young and innocent sister.
After dramatic struggle against the
influences that threaten the girl, an
accidental shooting solves her prob.
lem, and she gives up her life as a
nurse on the battlefield in expiration
for her past.
Kitty Gordon plays the role of the
adventures with great emotional in
tensity, and is assisted by an excel
lent cast admirably fitted to their re-
spective roles.

Fine Treatment of pl.

Fine Treatment Of Plot.
War and the Woman" at the
Princess is based on an imaginary
invasion OF a sea.coast town in the
United States by foreign army and
is so skillfully directed and acted that
the element of probability grows with
each succeeding event to the start
lingly realistic denouement. 1t pre-
scented a vivid picture OF the conse.
quence if the United States had been
found unprepared and does this all
the more forcibly because the action
is concentrated on one typically
American home. The plot follows the
adventures of young girl who saves
an aviation captain from death in his
machine and afterwards marries him
In the midst OF their honeymoon, the
war breaks out and the young officer
is called to his post, leaving his bride
alone in his home with only the serv.
ants to protect her. An alien regiment
invades the house, imprisons its mis-
tress In her room and proceeds to
make the night hideous with prolong.
ed reyelry, in which the servants are
forced to take part. When the young
wife learns Of brutal attack on her
personal maid, she becomes possessed
of a cool determination for revenge
and carries out her plans so cleverly
that she is able to plant a large
charge of dynamite in the cellar. blow
up the maurauders with the house
and escape with her husband in his
aeroplane
The late Florence La Badie as the
young wife, put significance and feel.
ing into what might have been a
somewhat stereotyped role. Wayne
Arey made valiant aviator. and the
remainder OF the characters were eX.
cellently presented, especially the role
of spy disguised as servant played
by Ernest C. Warde
An unusual treatment of plot and
exceptionally clever has lifted this
drama out of the ordinary class of the
too frequent war play and has CON-
bined genuine thrills with unusual
restraint. which brings it well within
the realm of probability

Trotzky Says Fear, Not
Friendship, Makes Kaiser
Welcome BoIsheuik Truce

PETROGRAD, Nov. 29.-The German
militarists are not listening out OF
humanitarian motives or feeling OF
sympathy toward Russia to the proposal
for an armistice, Leon Trotzky, the
Bolsheyik Foreign Commissary, said in
an address to-day 10 the Soldiers and
Workmen's Delegates. Only fear OF the
German proletariat, inspired BY the ex-
ample of the Russian revolutionists.
prompted them to accept the overtures
Of Ensign Krylenko, the Bolshevik
commander in chief, he asserted.
"If the German Emperor and his gem
erals, their breasts covered with rib
bons for the slaughter they have con-
mitted, had their way" Trotzky de-
clared, "the Russian revolution would
have died, applsuded by the bourgeoise
and by our present allies. The German
Emperor and his generals entered into
negotiations with Krylenko because the
Russian revolutionlsts said TO the ma
tions of the world: For forty months
you have been running the lives OF
hundreds Of millions. Hunger is spread
ing wider and wider
"The Russian revolution has pointed
a way out, and this makes US forget the
want of military success. The Emperor
has spoken 10 us as equal 10 equal, be-
cause he knows revolution Of the
German proletariat, a rebellion OF SOL
diers and peasants, would be the answer
if he gave any other reply"
VI. Trotzky declared the diplomatists
Of the world were destined 10 see the
greatness Of the power Of the Bolshe-
Wiki, which had been recognized by all
peoples, adding: IF the diplomatists
persist in their refusal to recognize IL
they will be swept away"
