An Americans sacrifice of life and all it holds dear to him. to save his countrymen and learn the secrets of fhe German spy system, forms the theme of the stirring William Fox production, The Spy, which, with Dus- tin F'arnJIm in it's lead comes to the Auditorium theatre today for a three days run. Dustin F'arnum one of the few popular men stars of the screen. plays the role of Mark Quain- tance, a man of wealth and social po- sition, who undertakes the hazardous task of gaining list of the Teutonic spies in the United States. The odd feature about this thrilling drama is that it contains all the vigor and ex- cftement of war, without a single bat tie scene being flashed on the screen Realizing that the public has a surfeit of such views, the Fox company ar ranged it's story in such fashion that 1t was found necessary to fire a single shot during the taking of the picture.
 Edward T. Connolly has been held over for a second week and will ap- pear at each performance in an entire change of programme. There will be a slight advance in prices during the engagement of The Spy. All seats at the matinee will be 15 cents. Evening. orchestra 20 cents, balcony 15 cents. Children 10 cents. Owing to the large programme the first show will start in the evening at 6.45.
