Emily stevens Shows Great Emotion.
al Power in 'sThe Wager"
In THE Wager" the great Metro
Rolfe production which will be seen
at the Alta theater on Tuesday and
Wednesday, Emily Stevens had a rare
opportunity to show her tremendous
emotional power as an actress. Miss

to bring her rare talents more active
ly into play than either of the first
two productions.
Miss Stevens, as Diamond Daisy
Doyle, a woman of the underworld in
"The wager" is called upon to depict
great change which takes place in
the spirit of a feminine crook. Be
cause Of Daisy Doyle's cleverness as a
diamond thief, the police have been
unable to convict her. Detective Dug
gan, who has sent her sweetheart
slippery jim" to prison, is determin-
ed that she shall go the same route.
Daisy, deeply in love with Jim, de
cides to reform. Here is where the
strongest phase of Miss stevens emo
tional art is seen. She edepicts on th'
screen the struggle Of Daisy Doyle
soul to "find" itself, and she does i
with wonderful effect.
The play. written and directed b,
George D. Baker, is filled with pow
erful dramatic situations. In one 0
these Daisy Doyle is induced by Po
lice Commissioner stone to relieve
jeweler of gems. SO that Stone ma
