"Threa of Many" !"

The Thursday offering at the Gem
will be "Three Of Many" a stirring
Triangle play in which the Austro-
Italian war frontier is used as
background for a love story dealing
with the lives of three people. Clara
Williams is the star, and is seen as a
trained nurse of Italian birth, who is
EMPLOYED in a New York hospital
when the war breaks out in Europe
and shortly afterward leaves for Italy
to nurse her wounded countrymen.
In New York she has tive admirers,
one an Italian and the other an Aus
trian. Both of them she meets again
at the battle front. The reunion with
the Italian is a joyous one, as he is
the favored suitcr. Later, when she
has by q mishap been left behind in q
city captured by the Austrians, she
finds herself the prisoner of the other
man, Not only dses he know himself
to be rejected suitor--he is also OF
the enemy's forces, and he has been
brutalized by months Of warfare
against the hated Italians.
With the girl at his mercy, 1t seems
inevitable that the only climax to be
expected is the return of the ltal1an
in time to rescue her. Yet this Is not
the case. What actually does happen
is one of the most unique. plcturings
Of human nature imaginable, and it Is
declared that no one who has witness.
ed the picture has had an mixing OF
what the denouement was to be.

"The Honorable Algy."

A photoplay of thrilling interest,
in which Charles Ray is starred, will
be seen at the Gem Wednesday,. 1t
is called "The Honorable Algy," and
is the rollicking tale of susceptible
young Britisher and the chain of ex-
traordinary circumstances that en-
barrass him on his maiden visit to
America.
Algy, youngest son of the penniless
Marquis of Monteith, is desperately
in love with Patricia, the beautiful
dark-eyed daughter of the Vicar of
Hadleigh; but, despite this fact, his
father and brothers send him to Ann
erica to contract good marriage and
save the family fortunes.
On shipboard he falls in with the
dissolute LORD Rockmore and the mil
lionaire James Dryker and his wife
and daughter, Grace. The Drykers
leave their jewels-which include the
famous "Cape diamond" valued at
sixty thousand pounds-with the
ships purser for safe keeping.
The purser is robbed of the jewels
by crook named Harvey. The rob-
berry is discovered, and in order to
throw off suspicion, Harvey lowers his
handkerchief, containing the plunder,
down one of the stateroom ventila-
tors.
Algy, who is reading in his cabin.
sees the handkerchief descending and
appropriates the jewels, Immediate
" after the cabins are searched, and
to avoid suspicion Algy hides the
stones, intending to return them later.
AS result, he becomes involved In
a series of remarkable complications
that threaten for a time to ruin his
mission. But when Grace Dryker
takes hand in his affairs, things be-
gin to clear up.
Rockmore, who had planned to mar
ry the American heiress, is discomfite
ed, and his plot to fasten the theft OF
the jewels upon Algy is thwarted.
In the end, Algy makes a big coup
in Wall street, and as a Christmas
present he finds that his American
friends have brought over his English
sweetheart "Pat," who adds the final
measure to his cup of happiness.

"The Weaker Sex. !"


If woman has won a place in the
business or professional world does
her marriage mean that she must
necessarily relinquish it to become
mistress of her household? That is
the question raised in "The Weaker
Sex" strong, virile Triangle play
which will be tomorrow's feature Of
fering at the Gem.
Dorothy Dalton has the role of a
successful woman lawyer who mar
ries still more successful lawyer of
the sterner sex and is forced to
abandon her law practice after mar
riage. Her husband will not even al
low her to help him, until her keen
ness and woman's intuition secure the
acquittal of his own son, charged with
murder and condemned by circum-
stantial evidence. Charles Ray is
seen as the SON and Louise Glaum
has the part of woman of evil ways,
with whom the boy is infatuated and
with whose murder he is charged.
The courtroom scenes are said to be
among the most realistic ever shown
on the screen.

.The Glory Of Yolanda."

A photoplay written by one Wo,
man. directed by another, and acted
by third member of the gentler sex,
should be a correct and convincing
revelation of female character. In
"The Glory of Yolanda,' when Will
be the Friday attraction at the Grano,
the authoress has made a beautlful
peasant girl of the land of the Izar
the heroine of the story, and endow-
ed her with purity of mind that is
"proof and bulwark" against every
temptation. So severe is the test ana
so complete her resistance that an
apotheosis entitled, "The Triumph OF
Innocence" might well have been the
closing scene Of the picture.
Briefly told, the story introduces
Yolanda when she is leading the NE
of the ordinary Russian peasant glrls
except that she passes considerable oA
her time in dancing out in the open;
The Grand Duke Boris sees her ana
advises her mother to take her TO
Petrograd and have her trained TOT
the ballet. The nobleman furnishes
the necessary money. Yolanda makes
a sensation as dancer, and when tne
duke calls to collect upon his invest
ment, he is killed by the girls oro1n, or . !
er. A young artist, who loves and Is
beloved by Yolanda, has been starseo
on his way to Siberia by the duse. ss
Yolanda joins him, and the way TOT
the release of both is foreshadoweo::
In Anita Stewart the character OF
Yolanda has fallen to the proper per,
son. The amazing innocence OF mmo
attributed to the Russian girl as ae'
picted by Miss Stewart does not I'M, :
press one as an assumption but as ]
fact. It has not been given her ~ ~
sound the tragic note, but Whatever
stands for girlish charm, beauty o. o.
character and purity of mind IN the
art Of acting is hers to command.
Marguerite Bertsch has 6een
painstaking and sympathetic director
and the local color throughou. the
production is counterfeited with eN
cellent discernment. The dlfrerell'
Russian types, both peer and peasant
are skillfully played by the seSefa
members of the cast.

"A Square Deal"

The scenes of "A Square Deal" IN
which Carlyle Blackwell and June
Elvige will appear at the Grand neH9 x!
Thursday, are for the most part lalu
in MacDougal Alley, that short street
lust off of Washington Square where
New York's bohemian element makes
its headquarters. Two young chaps
are in love with the same girl. One
of the boys is writer and the other
an artist, and the friendship between
them is unusually strong. Doris, the
girl, prefers Mark, the writer; and
Hugh. the artist, does everything IN
his power to help his rival. Success
in his profession leads Mark away
from Doris, and he makes an unfortu-
nate marriage; but Hugh traps hls
friends wife into revealing her true
character, and Mark marries his old
sweetheart-after divorcing the first
Mrs. Dunbar.
The doings of the men and women
in ~ Square Deal" are easily un-
derstood, although it is easier to ad-
mire Hugh's sacrifice than to belleye
in it. Another incident which comes
under the same head ID the scene at
the society ladies' swimming match;
also the method taken by Mark Dun
bars first wife to make him fall IN
love with her. She dons Annette
Kellermanns, dives into the clubhouse
tank in company with number OF
other lightly clad society leaders and
pretends to drown. Mark jumps ln'
fully clothed, and rescues the lady,
and she thanks him SO warmly that
he returns the compliment by taking
her in his arms and she accepts him
then and there. This scene would
have been considered very daring q
few years back, especially the cos.
tunes of the swimmers, but, judging
from the pictures taken of real So
ciety ladies at Palm Beach for the
Sunday illustrated sections, they are
