EMPRESS

One of the most popular as well as versatile stars appearing in pictures today is Harold Lockwood, who opens two days engagement at the Elm press today in "A Square Deceiver." This is his latest effort to be released through the Metro studios. The pie ture has not yet been shown in Los Angeles, the engagement here being what is known as a pre- release run. Previous to this showing this picture has never been through but one rna- chine Lockwood has an immense fol- lowing in this city, and will doubtless score heavily during this engagement These days will also sec the inaugura- ton of new line of comedies in the city. William Fox is releasing Sun shine Comedies.'' which have taken the country by storm, and after consider able negotiation dates have finally been fixed for Phoenix, and the En- press will hereafter show these laugh able connections beginning with the one today Roaring Lions and We'd

Olga Petrova. the famous Russian actress will be on hand in the screen version of "The Law of the Land The drama is from the pen of the celebrated George Broad hurst and caused 8 veritable sensation when it was presented on Broadawy where it enjoyed one of the longest runs in theatrical history.

with Moths" a picture made some time back. It is not the same theme or by the same company The Moth" was written in novel form by William Dana Orcutt The Moth tells the story of a modern Cleopatra trifling with fate and forever in pursuit of pleasure transformed by a sudden awakening to an unselfish mother de- voted to her two little children.
 The part assigned to Norma Tal- mage is perhaps the best this gifted girl has done since her advent in pfc- lures. The part reveals her as spoiled society girl who takes for her aim in life the emulation of Cleopatra. She starts out to seek her Anthony and is married to a blue blooded spendthrift who loves another woman, and who marries the girl to solve his financial difficulties Her home life is bereft of a single charm or attraction and she does just what hundreds of society favorites married for convenience wind up with she heads toward dangerous shoals with breakers ahead in her marital career. ...-..s'
 This moth futters nearer and nearer to the flame of her own indiscretion until the startling denoument reveals her in position where the thorough bred in her comes to the surface in time to avert tragedy that would have wrecked her whole life.
 This is a story of modern society life done with the finest sense of taste and appointment. Done with a lavisl display of mimic wealth. done with g great idea to give to the Empress Jo- sephine of the Movies,' Norma Tal- mage her great moment and she Ina! it in the part of this winsome an( headstrong young matron who finds il the man who almost Wrecks her life the man who is to rebuild her future "The Moth" played a week at Tally Broadway theater while the manage of the Hip was on a business trip t, Los Angeles recently, and havinS seel it he takes occasion to personally com mend this excellent picture to thos who select only the biggest and best t attend

Such liberty and democracy as the
people OF Germany enjoy today-and,i 1t
must be confessed that It is not much

last century the French armies. wheth-

ing classes are also Indebted to Ma
poleon, since the effect of his conquests
was greatly to hasten the development
Of German unity. Certainly he did
much to break down the authority of
petty kings and grand dukes.
But there was one service that Ma
poleon might have performed for the
German people which he failed to per-
form. While prisoner at st. Helena
he admitted that he had. in the course
of his marvellous career. made many
mistakes. But the greatest of them is
thus described by him:

not remove the Hohenzollerns from the
throne OF Prussia. As long as this house
reigns and until the red cap of liberty
is erected in Germany. there will be no
peace in Europe.
There is much in the life and work
of Napoleon of which the American PEG

feel that they are consecrated TO the
completion of the job which the great
soldier left unfinished. We need not
