hbLASCO.
Another capacity audience at the
BeIasco Theater was enthraIled last
night with the story Of Cleopatra,
portrayed by Theda Bara with its
picture Of old Egypt and one Of the
most wonderful stories OF ancient
history.
It is hard to believe that the pro-
duction with its thousands OF people
and its water and desert scenes was
made In California on the edge of the
Mojava desert, and not In ancient
Egypt
The battle scene in which the
fleets OF Mark Antony and Cleopatra
battled those OF Octavius. scored
heavily with the audience.
Theda Bara gives a wonderfully i'm
pressive performance in her interpre-
tation OF the roll OF Cleopatra, giving
the lady Of the pearl a new hold upon
the modern Imagination.
The production is one Of the most
finished ever shown in Washington,
and had a deeply appreciative audi
ence.
The pyramids and the Egyptian pal
ace are as convincing al Theda BarA
and her supporting cast of thousands
OF ancients.

William Farnum In When a Man
sees Red" a Perturbation Of Larry
evans novel, THE Painted Lady"
furnishes the thrills this week al
Moore's Strand Theater. There are
episodes OF tenderest pathos in this
engrossing picture, others that fur
nish much-needed flashes of comedy
relief and still others that carry one
momentarily into the reveIry Of the
hula girls Of the South PacIfc, but
under all there runs a swift current
OF genuine drama with its argument
all on the side OF a just triumph OF
right over might.
William Farnum does some of the
best acting he has ever brought to
the screen In this picture, and As
much may be said Of g. Raymond
Nye and Jewel Carmen. "When a Man
Sees Red" is supported by a rough
and tumble comedy, the news pic
toriaI' and an effectively orchestral
accompaniment.
Beginning Thursday and continuing
through Saturday the feature Of the

spired by his desire for work He had
been stimulated by a natural love of
a fight, and the problem of Kidding
Lost Mine of Drant and Rawls and
putting a stop to the outrages caused
by Won Bleck offered many oppOrtu-
mites for him to satisfy the love- He
had rounded the three men, as well as
a goodly number of confederates who
had joined them, in a little hut in
the mountains, only to lose them
again when they escaped by the ruse
of swinging to the limb of a tree
through a trap door in the roof, and
making their getaway in the dark.
Finally, however, Casey's persistent
activities and his apparent determine
ton to round up the gang, so frighten-
ed the fugitives that they had disap-
peared and evidently had decided that
the healthiest thing to do was to at
tend to their own affairs and allow
Gwyn to carry on his plans unmolest-
ed For a time one of Won Bleck's
new confederates, known as "One
Lung" and notorious as a former New
York gunman, continued to annoy the
young engineer, but he, also, finally
vanished and nothing more was heard
from him.

the majority of the towns idle popu-
lation was employed in the task of
taking the cinnabar from the mine
and preparing it for shipment to the
east AS a result, the neighborhood
was scattered over with little wooden
houses, built in the quickest and the
cheapest manner possible. Gwyn and
Nan, who had been married as they
had planned, lived in a picturesque
cabin but a short distance from the
main shaft of the mine. Their we'd
ding had been one of the most i'm
portant, and surely the gayest, event
of the year Practically the entire
town had turned out at the Lost
Mine hotel and from that time on, the
young couple had been the most pop
ular folk in town.

positions, I'll ask you my dear girl,
Just as / was asked will you be so
kind as to turn over the other half of
the chart? 1 would not care to take
any bold step, but, 1 might remind
you, you are holding something which
would warrant my risl1ing almost any
thing to obtain"
>Gwyn, as he rode at a rapid gait
down the trail, looked back once or
twice to assure himself that all was
we'll at the barn. He did not fear
leaving Nan alone with Won Bleck, for
the prisoner had been securely bound
and could scarcely move, he thought,
let alone escape.
Suddenly, as he rounded another
turn in the trail, his horse stopped
short. Gwyn's hand, almost automat-
ically, reached down to his holster.
But few meet ahead, riding leisurly
along the trail, was Cut Deep Rawls,
the man Gwyn was on his way to
town to meet-the man, in fact, that
Van Bleck had confessed, held the
other part of the chart to the CHINA
bar mine.
Rawls' horse stopped almost as
abruptly as had Gwyn's, but its rider
was not as alert When he lifted his
eyes to see what had caused the un-
expected halt, he found himself look
ing directly into the business end of
GWyn'S revolver. He started, surpris-
ed and frightened, and obeyed Gwyn S
command to dismount.
Reluctantly Rawls allowed GWyn TO
remove his revolver from his belt and
then, from the bosom of his skirt, he
extracted the half of the chart. Gwyn
tq3,k it from him, glanced at it to make
lure that he had obtained what he de
>sired and not a blank sheet of paper,
and put it in his pocket. Then, order
ing RaWls TO walk ahead, he turned
his horse about and drove slowly back
toward the barn where he had left
Won Bleck and Nan
When he arrived within about q
hundred yards of the barn, Gwyn dis
mounted and approached the dilapi-
~Sated structure from the side keeping

SYNOPSIS OF PRECEDING
CHAPTERS

Fought at every turn by outlaws and
agents of the Central Powers, John
Gwyn, an American mining engineer,
is trying to work a western mine pro-
dzcing an ingredient needed by the
government in the manufacture of ex-
plOsives- The mine is owned by Nan
LaWtOn, with whom Gwyn is In love.
The outlaws kill her father and their
servants in an effort to obtain a miss
ing part of the mine chart and finally
trap GWyn and Nan in their own home
which they set in flames.
They offer the imprisoned paid their
lives in return for the mine chart, but
are refused and the house burns to the
ground. The outlaws ride away be-
Iieving that Gwyn and Nan have per-
ished. They managed to escape, how
ever. through subterranean passage
and reach the Lost Mine Hotel.
