Nine. Petrova headed the program
at Moore's Garden Theater yesterday

highly dramatic, paralleling the life
of its heroine, who has made a false
step, and is endeavoring to tread the
straight road. Just when dark clouds
of despair gather around her, an hon
orable, upright man comes into her
life. She marries him, but her tragic
secret remains untold.
At length to the joy of both hus-
band and wife a tiny visitor is ex-
pected in the family-"a waiting
soul" Then she faces the bitter prob
lem-shall she still hide her past
from her husband and thus risk in
fiuencing the mind of the waiting
SOUL" or shall she tell the truth and
brave the scorn OF conventionality.
How she reveals her secret to the
man; how he receives her honest
confession is the big theme eXpound-
ed in "The Waiting Soul"
On Thursday, Friday, and Saturday
Dorothy Dalton, Charles Ray, and
Margaret Thompson will be featured

Charming Melody, Witty Lines,
and Clever Dances Feature
"FIora Bella"

The charm of the muOic of Flora
Bella" which opened at the Belasco
last night, is sufficient to make the
production satisfy the craving for
melody of the most raveous musical
comedy devotee. All the songs among
the sixteen sung during the evening
boasted of some element of attraction,
but especially appealing were the
waltz numbers allotted to Miss
Eleanor Henry and so splendidly sung
by her.
Flora Bella" also has comedy, with
a plot. many dances and two scenes of
considerable beauty. but one cannot
seem to get away from the haunting
melody which abounds in Love Is q
Dance" and "Give Me All of You"
The story is that OF a young noble
man and his wife, formerly the reign
ing favorite in the cabaret of THE
Sign of the Golden Calf" in Petro-
grad, who has become suddenly do
mesticated. To regain for her old
manager his place at the cafe, she con.
sehts to go back one night, precisely
at the time that her husband goes to
Petrograd.

have them these days, Flora Bella"
is not without its dance divertisse-

man and a nimble woman, supply the
terpsichorean speciality and receive
well merited applause.
Many Attractive Songs.
Guy ]. Sempsel portrays the roman
tic husband and proves an excellent
partner for Miss Henry. Mortimer H.
Weldon and Miss Lily Leonard are
another capable pair in songs and
speech, and character parts are well
done by Jack Bell, Ben Grinnell and
Adolph Link.

and dances in a manner to win many
recalls. Tfllie Cox, "Pinkie" Cline.

yesterday at Moore's Strand Theater.
The story concerns the invasion of
America by a foreign foe. With the
strongest fighting. machine in the
revolution pending another tax bur-
den, the leaders in the Ruritanian
council point to America-peace-lov
ing, rich and unprotected-as the one
object of their salvation.
A preteXt is easily found to pre-
cipitate hostilities and the invaders
after feeble resistance take New
York. With the battle loving Ruri-
tanians upon her eastern shore
America at last realizes that she
must prepare or taste the sting of
defeat
To further her country's cause an
intrepid young American girl worms
her way into the confidence of the
Ruritanians, becomes secretary to
their board of military generals, and
keeps in communication with the
American army's headquarters. Her
mission is fraught with danger, but
she heeds only her country's call. In
an incredibly short while Uncle Sam
is in position to move against the
Ruritanians.
The picture was made with the CO.
operation of the United States army
and navy and many of this country's
battleships and regiments of its
troops have been featured in the big
fighting scenes. The leading roles are
enacted by Alice Joyce. as the Ameri-
can girl who risks her life among
the Ruritanians: Harry Morey as an
American general, who penetrates the
enemy's line; Joseph Kilgour as the
despicable leader of the invaders.
