Annette Kellerman
Brings a Beautiful
Fairyland Picture

A beautiful fairy story, woven
into 10 reels of milton picture,
and SO cleverly developed that
even the "grown-ups" realize that
1t is only a fantastic myth, was
shown to two huge audiences at
the Tacoma theater Sunday.
The picture is 1.-THE Daughter
of the Gods" which cost William
Fox one million dollars to pro-
duce, and which features Annette
Kellerman, most famous woman
swimmer In the world.
Although Miss Kellermann' S
aquatic feats are not the most
important part of the film, this
modern Venus has plenty of OPP
portunity during different parts
of the action to demonstrate her
celebrated gift. In one scene,
where she is held prisoner by a
sultan, she jumps from high
tower into the sea, to be pursued

PICTURES
TO BOOST
RECRUITS
Government Will Use
New Film to Fill Ranks
of Navy.

WASHINGTON, d. c., April q.
The United States governments
has decided to use motion pic
lures as the means to increase
enlistments in the three branches
of the service-the army, navy
and marine corps.
"Womanhood, the Glory of the
Nation" has been selected by
the navy as the picture to arouse
enthusiasm that will increase en-
listments to point where every
vessel in the navy will have a full
complement of men.
While nothing has been de-
cided finally, the plan calls for
governmental cooperation with
the exhibitors throughout the
country who book "Womanhood."
The first suggestion by the gov
eminent is that a recruiting Of
ficer and a medical examiner
will be stationed at every thea
ter in the larger cities of the
country during the entire run OF
"Womanhood."

/ by speedy men swimmers. The
race, which is finally successful
for the girl, is one of the most
thrilling bits in the play.
1t is hard to describe such
complex story, but it suffices to
say that Miss Kellerman, as "the
daughter of the gods" gets mixed
up with a hateful sultan, escapes,
falls in love with the sultan s
son, saves him from death, and
then leads an army against the
castle to avenge her wrongs. En-
cased in armor, she meets her
lover on the battlefield, also COW
cred with metal, and fights
death battle with him, in which
she meets her death. The lover,
discovering his victims identity,
dies of a broken heart.
Twenty thousand persons APP
pear in some of the battle scenes.
The film remains all week.
