tanned a democratic peace.
Allies have taken a directing hand
in destinies of Italy. Supreme dircc-
ton of the campaign, however, has
been assumed by a "war board" COM

of the French war ministry; General
Wilson. subchief of the British gen

New Leaders of the Italian armies
in field are. First in command, Gen

This mOmCntOuS arrangement, de-
cided upon at conference in Rome be

three countries, comes at a moment

DOUBLE TROUBLE
SCREAMING PLAY

The troubles of Douglas Fairbanks
in the Triangle feature film, Double
Trouble" shown for the first time
last night at the Bijou theater, are the
delight of the lucky spectators who
see this exciting film.
The story deals with dual PERSONAL
ty and aphasia, and is worked out
along screamingly humorous but scien.
tific lines. 1t concerns the career of
Florian Amidon, wellbehaved fig
ure in a small community who is SUI
perintendent of a sunday school But
Florian meets with an accident that
brings from his subconscious nature
another personality which is just the
opposite of the gentle Florian.
AS Eugene Brassfieid this new per-
sonality takes it's place in the af-
fairs of FTorian and creates a scanda-
lous furore In the otherwise placid
life Of the community Ultimately,
however, the best traits of the two
personalities are merged into one, and

Three other reels of comedy by the

is the lightning work of Fairbanks
who has been hailed the brainiest per.
former now before the camera.

days when civilization was gradually
absorbing that great stretch OF coun-

the missionary travelled with a pair OF
six-shooters within handy calling dis
tance-and knew how to use them.
William S. Harris work as the pio-
neer missionary is exceptionally good.

is all that could be expected of sucn
a character, while his wife is shall

Naturally, there comes to the wo-
man an awakening in which she real
ICES her error and can see the diff

then the strength of the missionary is
shown, in a climax that is a long con-
tinuation of thrills and one which
comes swift and unexpected. II is a
strong drama.
