Appearing in a delightful charac- terization which by her artistry, rises to Che heights of distinct achieve ment, Dorothy Dalton, the popular Thomas H. 1nce star in Paramount pictures, to be seen to splendid advan- tage in her latest photoplav, 1.-The Kaiser's Shadow" at the Best thea tre today. The photoplay filled as 1t is with mystery, suspense, human ln- terest and heart appeal, demonstrated its popularity with marked emphasis as was evidenced by the generaus ap- plause that greeted it.
 In this superb photoplay, Miss Dal- ton is seen as a secret service agent who poses as a wohan's maid, to the end that her efforts to bring several Hun plotters to justice may be exped- ited. The scenes of the photoplay are located in large American city, and the story has to do with an American inventor, Clement Boyd, who has in- vented a ray rifle," which has been accepted by the ordnance department of the United States government, and the secret of which is desired by Will liam Kremlin, chief of the German spy system in that city. In the open ing scenes, Clement Boyd and Dorothy Robinson are welded. The plans of the rifle, invented by Boyd are not yet completed, and he decides to take them awy with him on his honeymoon In order to escape the members of the wedding party who chase them to the street Boyd is for an instant separ- ated from his bride. Believing her to be in his limousine. he enters the ve- hicle, which is rapily driven away.

Bold Thief Takes Auto
 Off Street
Automobile Stolen on Main Street Tuesday Evening
 In CW1ier's Absence.

Walter E. Hudson left his Ford au- tomobile standing on Main street near Barraque just opposite the Graphic office Tuesday evening while he at tended a meeting at the court house Two hours later when he returned the automobile had vanquished. No trace of it had been. found at three o'clock Wednesday morning.
 It was ascertained however, after an investigation, that a party "round- ed the corner" of Barraque and East First street at forty mile clip about 10 o'clock last evening. A policeman cried to him ordering him to halt. This warning only caused a further burst of speed. It is thought this par tv was the thief. All towns in this section were noti- fled and given description of the car including license and engine number Mr. Hudson walked home but as- serted he ''did not know what reason a sane man would have for stealing a flivver." However, he is anxious that it be returned for sentimental reasons if nothing else.

 PITCHED BATTLE
With Policemen in Kansas City--"K. c. Blackie"

 Kansas vCity, Md, Sept 24.--A
 score of policemen this afternoon af-
 ter revolver battle lasting about an hour, captured Roy Lancaster, alias
 "Kansas City Blackie" and Harry
 Lancaster, brother, both of whom, the authorities declare are members
 of the Lewis gand, several members which were arrested in Colorado two
 weeks ago.
 Roy Lancaster, who was seriously
 wounded was taken to a hospital. He admitted his identity. Harry Lan- caster was captured as he attempted to escape from a barricaded building where the men fought with the po- lice
 Two policemen were slightly wounded during the skirmish. Later at the hospital, Ray Lancas- ter admitted, according to the author ities, that he was member of the
 Lewis band which engaged in two running revolver fights in Colorado two weeks ago. Following the arrest
 of Frank Lewis and Roy Sherrill, Lancaster asserts that he returned
 to Kansas City with Dale Jones, one
 of the alleged members of the band. Two women accompanied them. He declared Jones is still in Kansas City. Members of the Lewis band are sought by the government in connec- ton with the Missouri, Kansas and Texas train robbery at Koch. Kan sas, two months ago.

against his cheek. He turns in aston ishment to find the weapon in the hands of his bride. The machine stops the chauffeur opens the door, and with his revolver covers Boyd. The girl at his side removes her veil and instead of his bride, he recognizes Paula liar ris, his wife's maid. Boyd is ordered to enter the home of Frederick Fisch- CT, a German chemist. who demands that he turn over to him the plans for his rifle. Boyd is searched but the plans are not found. Boyd announces that the plans had been sent to Wash ington and demands that he be re- leased. This Fischer refuses to do, and he orders Boyd to be confined until William Kremlin, the chief of the Ger man spies, decides unon his ultimate fate. He is led into a handsomely fur nished apartment where he is con fronted by Dorothy, his bride. Dorothy tells how a man jumped into her car and ordered the driver to fetch her to Fischer's house. Dorothy is convinced that Paula, the maid. is m possession of the plans. From this point on the action becomes exceedingly brisk, and the interest becomes more acute with every scene that is flashed. The thrills come when the identity of the various characters is reveiled and the German spies are brought to book and the plans finally recovered. The puzzle which mystifies every specta- tor is not unraveled until the final scene and his Announcement was artis- tically contrived by R. William Neil. the director.
 The photoplay will add to Miss Dal- toms screen fame and from every an- gle it is well worth seeing.
