Moore's Strand Theater this week, where
Dustin Farnum is pictured in the flm
drama. The Spy" The intricacies OF
diplomacy just before the American
declaration of war are shown in a man
ner at once easy to grasp and interesting

is pictured as a wealthy young American
who goes to Germany on a perilous diplo-
matte mission His task is to secure a list
OF Teutonic spies in the United States
and before he quits he has achieved his
purpose. There is love story in the
picture which combines admirably with
the heroic theme of the story A Young

meets Ouaintance. In the end she proyes
her allegiance to the United States hy

the vigor and excitement of war without
a single battle scene. The timeliness of
the picture adds much to its enjoyment.

pleasing music by the Strand Orchestra
