BEST THEATRE.

Monday-William Fox presents the vampire de luxe, Valeska Suratt, in one of her latest productions, the "New York Peacock" five part drama from the dizzy, swirling, ruin- ous "white light" life of New York. This is a most lavish production. In it Miss Suratt alone wears 12O sep arate gowns. Peacock is a good name for this vampire, but peacock in all it's glory was never like this. It is all, however, in good taste. even tho the star wears pounds of jewelry
 It is the story of the son of cut lery manufacturer of the middle west who comes to New York to close a contract for war munitions for his father. He comes in contact with the vampire and everything is forgotten in her presence. She is trying to pre- vent the munitions contract from be- ing signed and she does, thru her in fluence with her victim. Then, for the first time in her life, she learns what true love is, but finds her hopes can never come true, because the, young man is married. So she sacrifices herself bravely and brings about z reconciliation between father and sor and she sorrowfully goes back to the life she tried to renounce. Harry
 Hilliard takes the place of the victim and does it with great realism.
