IN THE PERMANENT THEATRICAL

NOR. Mary McIvor, who made a
favorable impression with William
Hart in his latest drama. portrays
the character Of the beautiful hero
inc. who crosses the path of the war
correspondent and who is forced to
marry him 10 escape from the
enemy. Later the girl falls in love
with her impromptu husband and
refuses to desert him for a noble
man Of he< own country. The war
scenes are both thrilling and real
istic.
Pauline Frederick, the star of
many photodramatic successes,
whose superb emotional acting on
both stage and screen, has won for
her a place in the hearts of the
American public Will be seen at
the LaSalle theater tomorrow in
Sleeping Fires" in which she por-
trays the role of a devoted mother.
The role is far different from the
type that Miss Frederick usually
portrays, that of the fascinating
other woman" Sleeping Fires
is a story of the battle of a mother
for the custody of her child. of a
wife who has submitted TO indignity
at the hands Of the man whose name
she bears. Those who have wit
messed Miss Frederick's portrayal of
"Sapho" and "Zaza" will be inter-
ested in viewing her in a submissive,
non-cOm bative mood, which is some
thing of a novelty for Miss Fred
erick.

But unfortunately Mrs. George is

and the comedy ends satisfactorily.

 prehensive at the prospect of the future. The ambassador arose this morning With the feeling that before the day was over his diplomatic connection with the United States would end. Shortly after 10 o'clock he received a correspondent of the Associated Press in his study.
