"SHElL 43" THE BEST FEATURE ORPHEUM HAS
 OFFERED IN MONTHS
H. B. Warner and Enid Mark ey Are Co-Stars in Wonder ful Film Version of Story Built Around the War.

What is announced as one of the
 most unusual photodramas seen in months will be offered at the Orpheum theatre today. when Triangle-Ince pre- sents H. B. Warner and Enid Markey in Shell 43," by c. G. Sullivan. It can stitutes the initial appearance togeth-
 CT of these two popular stars and is said to be most hitting vehicle for them.
 Shell 43," is a unique narrative of cunning in the European war. It con cerns the adventures of young man of mystery who possesses papers which prove him to be the correspond ent of big American newspaper.
 others establishing him as a German
 secret service agent. and still others touching for his commission as lieu
 tenant in the English army. The se- cret of his mission is not divulged un- til the last tragic scene, when the veil
 of mystery enshrouding his identity is lifted and he is shrown in his true light.
 Warner, of course. has the role of this human enigma, and he is de- clared to have contributed an ingrati-
 ating performance. His naturally stall
 wart physique and graceful carriage
 helped him materially in rendering a remarkable realistic interpretation
 of the difficult part.
 Miss Markey shares honOrs with Warner in the role of Adrienne von
 Altmann, daughter of baroness. Mem
 bers of the supporting cast include
 Margaret Thompson, Jack Gilbert,
 George Fisher, Louise Brownell, J. P.
 Lockned and Charles K. French. The
 production was directed by Reginald
 Barker and photographed by Charles Kaufman, with art direction by Rob
 ert Brunton.

.P|RATICAL STORY
 AT ROYAL THEATRE
Gladys Hulette Plays Leading Role in Prudence the
 Pirate" Today.

Prudence. the Pirate" a Pathe Gold Rooster play produced by Than houser, is the feature at the Royal theatre today. The star is Gladys Hulette; the director, William Parker. and the author, Agnes c. Johnston. This picture marks the return to the screen of Flora Finch, famous for her work with the late John Bunny. In addition to her, the cast supporting Miss Hulette includes Barnett Parker, Riley Chamberlin and Panthus, the ugliest pup in the world, who is called Panthus because he pants too much" Prudence, the Pirate" was shown privately to the editor of one of the national magazines. When it was rvar she said: "The story is something Gew It is refreshing from beginning to end What like most about it is its humanness. Every woman will love it, because, way down deep, every women has in her the same spirit of adventure that prompts little Prudence to become a pirate. Everybody. some time or other, has wanted to do just that I know I did.
 At the opening of Prudence, the Pirate" there is the following sub title.
 ITO all those who sometimes feel in the midst of the serious business of the world, wistful longing for ad- venture and romance and youth, who have, buried deep in their grown-up hearts, a mad little ambition to be Dir ates-this picture is dedicated"
 That title puts. you in a good humor ro watch the unfolding of Twentieth Century tale that harkens back to the days when pirates bold ruled the mighty main.
 When Prudence, full of fun and fresh from boarding school. is left at home as punishment for one of her pranks, she has ample opportunity to listen to the wild yarns spun by Meeks. the butler, of his life on the ocean wave.
 Inspired by his description of him. self as a pirate. and with the aid of her summers spending money, she secretly rents a rakish schooner, paints on its bows "The Bucket of Blood" hires a crew of tramps and sets out to seek her fortune.
 How fire starts in the hold of "The Bucket of Blood" furnishing a real thrill at the closing scenes of the pic ture and how the story ends, is told in a manner that evidences the hand of a master author and director. and the work of splendid cast. Prudence, the pirate" will sing you a merry song of the sea and make your heart | lighter with it's refreshing breath Of romance.
