BARA AND CHAPLIN
 ON BILL AT FOX'S

Foxs should have been just twice as big, last night, to accommodate the tremendous throngs that wanted to take adventure of the unusual oppor- tunity to see Theda Bara and Charlie Chaplin in the two latest productions Fin which these world famous stars make their appearances. Miss Bara's vehicle is the picturization of the inn mortal French novel, Camille" which raised the younger Dumas to such dazzling heights of literary fame. For many years it has been a favorite on the spoken stage, but it remained for William Fox to give it a suitable screen production. The Fox version of "Camille"is a most interesting ar- rangement of the events in the we'll known characters life. The great gripping interest develops in the fourth reel when it grows intense, reaching its climax at the end of the fifth. But in the sixth part, the beautiful star really shows the artistic emotional talent which has brought her to the front rank of motion picture actresses. Love, the renunciat1on. depicting the more noble nature of Camille, are the featurs that go to make it a remarkable picture. There arc several SCeuR8 III parLfCuAhr where the beauty of Theda Bara Is we'll brought out, especially in the close ups, showing her happy home life with Armand. It Is the real woman that underlies the sordid part of Camille's life. As a whole, the pie ture has a cumulative interest, grow ing in intensity until the finish is reached-the very acme of real, worthwhile picture. Attention to detail is worthy of compliments for the director. The scenes in the mil linery shop are especially effective.
 The Adventurer," which is the title of Charlie Chaplin's new picture, is in splendid. contrast to the heavier part of the program, and there is every reason to call 1t the best and funniest thing that this inimita ble funny man has ever made. How on earth he ever originates so many new and ludicrous stunts is beyond comprehension. His escape from prison is nothing short of a comedy classic. ''The Adventur- er'' is two reels of side-shaking, rib tickling laughter. Together with Camille" it will be shown today and tomorrow.

REVELATIONS OF A WIFE
By ADELE GARRISON

moval or for the destruction of the box!
 1~turned again to the photograph of Grace Draper The head was thrown back, and the girls magnifi- cent arms and shoulders were dis played by the arrangement of the gown she wore. The eyes seemed to my imagination fairly to blaze de- hanco into mine.
 I recognized the card on which the photograph was printed. It was one of Harry Underwoods. Photography IS a fad of his and he has almost professional outfit. I had angered him more than once by refusing to allow him to photograph me, some thing he had .been persistent in re- Questing.
 AS if a f1ash1ig11t of Harry Under woods outfit had illuminated things, 1 had a sudden clearing up of some thing that had puzzled me. I had rather respected Grace Draper's pas sion for Dicky. She had at least dared -death f3r him. But her asso- ciation with Harry Underwood had given me a feeling of bathing. With Harry Underwood it was a case of the nearest woman" He was as fickle as he was cruel. Grace Draper had seemed to me of different calibre. But l understand now. She had some deep purpose in view when she allowed herself to yield to Harry Un- derwood. He was only a means to an end, temporary shelter while she worked out some scheme of her own.
 I had sudden dread of what tha; scheme might be.

What Guests Don't Bring
BY. huEH CAMERON

one of all her summers guests
 brought an apron. Yet they all knew
 that they were coming to a place where there vas no maid and they
 would probably want to pitch in and
 help. And they all borrowed hers. And Then They Borrow Stamps. Of course the weekend guest has
 not room in her travelling bag for
 everything Shc might happen to need,
 but guests who bring trunks and come for a longer period often take it as a matter of course that the hos tess should supply such things as: Writing paper (and quite frequent ly they "borrow" whatever stamps they need.) Common pins Safety pins
 Hair pins
 Sewing outfit
 I don't suppose there is hostess living who isn't perfectly willing to supply any and all of these unim-
 portant articles. It isn't that she isn't willing to give but she does
 wonder sometimes that they are so
 willing to ask.

The Constituent Assembly, to which
Kerensky is elected, meets following cleo
tions in which the Bolsheviki appear to
have lost. Korniloff and Kaledines lead
a Cossack revolt against the Bolshevik
government, clashes resulting. Berlin
says that an armistice has been signed

between the Dniester River and the mouth
of the Danube for period of three
months.

what the Peoples Council has been de-
manding all along.
There is not the same assurance in Eng
land and France, but there is evidence
to show that Mr.. Wilson's restatement
will be accepted as that Of the Allies.
In France, for example, where Premier
Clemenceau is said to oppose the admis-
sion of Germany into league of nations,
acquiescence with the Presidents aims
may be inferred from the following state
ment, quoted by "The New York World:
what peace will be lasting! A clearly
defined peace-a peace which leaves no room
either for the reyindication OF oppressed
peoples or for the dangers OF aggression
in one word, a peace OF the right.
"Outside Of that there is no safety.
"To persevero in our efforts as long as
is necessary for the achievement of peace
Of Justice is to be good citizens of the world
as we'll as patriots
"Imperalism on the one side-democracy
on the other-between the two is a chasm
which, no matter what Lord Lansdowne may
believe, cannot be bridged."
In England the Presidents restatement
is unoficially accepted. Asquith has in
dorsed Wilson's message as clearly ex-
pressing the intentions and desires Of the
Allies. Winston Churchill, in the same
breath that he berates Lord Lansdowne,
says, president Wilson's statement of war
aims is good enough for me-" Even Lord
Cecil, high in the Lloyd George ministry,
said, 81 greatly admire the Presidents
speech. think It strikes the true note,
that. pushing the war with all their re-
sources, the Entente ana the United
States will show no vindictiveness after
the end comes"
Speaking for the men in the trenches,

war aims-all as good as adopted by the
Allies. "Snce it has come to be believed
that the American executive speaks for
the Allied democracies," says "The Chi
cago News" "it is natural to assume that
his words here quoted express the sub
stance of the present peace terms of those
democracies." "Mr. Wilson" says "The
New York Evening POST ''is again ac-
cepted as the best spokesman for the Allies
. He has stated the terms of the
Allies "The message agrees The

year ago, according to a London dis

Lansdowne really wrote his famous letter

downe and Asquith, and in some respects
by others, as an acceptable statement Of
Allied war aims. On the other hand,
Winston Churchill, among others, de-
nounces the Lansdowne letter as con-
fession of weakness, adding that England
is now at a most serious point in her
existence. 1t is suggested that England
vote on the issue of confidence in the gov
