The Spy" with Dustin Farnum in
the stellar role, photo-drama expos
ing the operations of Germany's Sc
cret police in the United States, which
is being shown at the Casino, Is ono
of the really great pictures of pres
ent war days. The plot, which deals
with the machinery Of diplomacy and
International relations, is handled so
skillfully that the entire production
has been made without the firing OF
a single shot. 1t Is war story, and
not battle story, and is filled with
thrills and intense situations from
start to finish.
Mark Quaintance a young man Of
wealth and high social position, is sent
to Germany by the Patriotic Club Of
New York, in an effort to gain a list
of German spies in America. On ship
board he meets Greta Glaum, a MEM
Der of the German secret police. The
acquaintance ripens into love. When
the ship touches land, however. the
girl slips away from him. In Berlin
Mark becomes attached to the Amer
lean embassy. The German spy sys-
tenn, which is headed by Freiherr Wolf
Won Wittschaeft, quickly learns Of
the young American. Thru Baron Won
Bergen they attempt to enroll him in
their large number of American spies.
Mark sees a way to get the list which
he seeks and agrees to lend his SER
vices in aid of the imperial govern
ment. Thru this movement he learns
of the existence Of book which con-
tains the complete roll OF German spies
in the United States. At ball held at
the American embassy Mark meets
Greta. On the same night Mark, in
tent on gaining the book he must have,
breaks into Wittschaeft's home. Gret-
ma finds him there. Mark does not ex-
plain to her why he is there. He hears
the sound of hurrying footsteps in the
street and hastens his job. AS he,
with Greta's assistance, breaks open
the safe and get the book, German Of
ficers enter the house. He gives her
the book, imploring her TO take it to
the American embassy. which she un-
dertakes to go, but is compelled to hide
1t as the soldiers appear and arrest
them both.
Dustin Farnum in the title role Of
Mark Quaintance, does a wonderful bit
of acting thruout the play, and shares
the honors with the Winifred King
ston, who as Greta, gives one Of the
strongest characterizations of her film
career. The work of William Burress.
Charles Clary, Howard Gaye, and Will
liam E. Lowry. is unusually strong.
AS a preliminary feature two reels
entitled, Under the Stars and Stripes
in France" show our American army
undergoing their intensive training
preparatory to entering the great con-
fiict These pictures are especially
good, and a rouse the audience to
high pitch Of patriotic fervor.

the Girl" a story Of romantic adven-
lures in wartorn Belgium, is the cur

picture closely follows the stage YER

few years ago, and is replete with
love, laughs, adventure, intrigue and

An American girl, stranded in Bel

innocently exchanges her passport with

been waiting for, and as if to prove her
statement, the German general orders
the two to be married at once. This
is done and the two young people find
themselves in a most embarrassing po-
sition. The husband escapes, how
