The play was written by the popular star herself. and like those of the past from her pen. it gives her ample opportunity to display her best wears in comedy. dancing and song, as a little of each have been placed in the play to add a certain amount of refreshing nour- ishment to the evening. The story has been often told, that of a. rich American girl who has been sent to England to secure a title by marriage, but it has never been told in the manner in which Miss Spooner has depicted it in this play. Matinees. Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday.

GERMAN GOLD BUYING
 FOODSTUFFS IN HOLLAND

Copenhagen, June 30-For the first time during the war the weekly report of the imperial bank of Germany shows a decrease in it's gold reserve, which this week is 76,000, 900 marks be low the preceding week. Increments for a long time have been steadily, de- clining despite energetic propaganda appeals to surrender jewelry. The bank heretofore, however, has been able, though often by the scantiest of margins, to avoid the hu1nihating ac- knowledgment that the growth has ceased entirely.
 This weeks decrease is attributed semi officially to heavy purchases abroad. The increase of the gold re- serve long since ceased to keep pace with the increase in note circulation.
 With the supply of gold failing de- spite utmost efforts, financial authoTi- ties of late devoteId their chief ener- gies to a campaign to restrain increase in note circulation by promoting the use of checks and bank transfers in- stead of cash.
