The Theatres


THE Bugler of Algiers," to be ex-
hibited in Bluebird photoplays at the
Idaho theatre on Wednesday and
Thursday will present Ella Hall, Ru-
pert Julian, Kingsley Benedict and lit
tie Zoe Rae in the leading roles. Here
is a remarkable photoplay, appealing
to loyalty and love of the flag ia
scenes of inspiring vigor and force.
There is combined with this patriotic
sentiment a story of great love and
human devotion that rings true and
will stir the admiration of every be-
holder. Ella Hall plays the role of
girl, left alone when war calls her
brother and her sweetheart to the col
ors. In all the years that follow, she
lives true to her love, even though
the report has come that he has been
killed in battle. She lives to see her
sweetheart decorated with the Legion
or Honor, while he represents her
brother, who has won this great tri-
butte from his, grateful country. The
brother has died of exhaustion, march
ing to be decorated; and then the girl
now grown to old age, goes with the
sweetheart of her life to lay upon the
breast OF the dead hero the tribute that
came to him too late. Beautifully told
beautifully pictured and superbly act
ed, 1.-THE Bugler of Algiers" marks an
epoch even among Bluebirds.

BENSON REALLY WAR
MANAGER OF THE NAVY
Congress Enacts Law That His Orders
Are To Be Considered Those of the
Department
Omitted Press)

WASHINGTON, April 23-"What
has come to him, he has won by hard
work always"
This is what the navy department
thinks of Admiral William Shepherd
Benson, chief of naval operations,
president of the general board of the
navy, and the one man, above all 9TH
ers, upon whom rests the success or
failure of the fleet.
When congress recently wrote into
the law that Admiral Benson's orders
were to be considered as emanating
from the secretary of the navy and
have full force and effect as such, !"
it showed what it thought of him.
The chief of operations is truly a
southern gentleman. He was born on
a small plantation in the heart of
Georgia in 1855, and has carried with
him throughout his brilliant career
the best traditions of the old south.
Tall, spare, with a most courtly
bearing and a full white mustache,
much like his predecessor Admiral
Dewey, the admiral presents the most
distinguished appearance. His rise
has been meteoric during the past few
years.
His first cruise as captain of a bat
tleship was in 1913, when he piloted
the Utah to the fleet penant. lie then
assumed command of the Philadelphia
navy yard, where he did "his bit" with
such great labor and excellence" as
to be called to Washington in 1915
when a man was sought to create ano
take charge of the new vital office o.
naval operations.
Admiral Benson is not man giver
to epigrams, especially those of the
first person. "I' seldom falls from
his lips.
If he can't be induced to admit his
services in Washington have met will
flair success the admiral will imme
diately impress it upon you that it Ii
solely owing to "the loyalty and co
operation" of his associates.
This is what his brother officers sa.
of the present ranking Officer of tn
u. s. navy:
This is the happy warrior.
This is he.
Whom every man in arm
Would wish to be-"
