AMONG THE THEATERS

The subject Of fear in human hearts
has been a mooted one since biblical
times when it was written that "fear
hath torment" to rend the soul. Fear
has power to dwarf the ambitions and
hopes of men and women, while on the
other hand, the lack Of fear makes a lion
of a mouse.
The tyranny Of fear is the theme of
Dorothy Dalton's new Paramount photo
play, "Tyrant Fear" which is to be pre-
scented at the Orpheum Theater tonight
and Saturday. The story deals with a
girl living in the French Canadian set
Elements OF the far North, who has been
a victim of insensate fear since her child
hood. Under the sway of an inborn ter
ror of men and things, she has become
docile as a lamb beneath the lash of the
terror her fathers presence inspires in

GERMANS PREPARE
FURTHER RETREAT
WASHINGTON REVIEWS POSI-
TIONS OF CONTRASTING ARMIES
ON WESTERN FRONT
WASHINGTON.+The German ar

WASHINGTON.-The German ar
mics apparently are again on the retrea
in the Aisne-Marne salient. The Ameri
can thrust in the center of the line al
Seringes already has given results. The
Paris statement tonight showed that the
allied forces had leaped forward on the
German flanks on both sides, indicating
to observers here that the withdrawal
to the Vesle was in full swing.
This has been expected by officers
here since the American divisions out
fought crack German divisions in terrific
conflicts which began Saturday. The
enemy made every effort to hurl the
Americans back across the Ourcq, but
he failed. His picked troops fought to
the death reports from all sides indicate,
but the fierce attack of the Americana
was not to be denied and the positions
which broke the back of the German
line on this front were consolidated.
With magnificent gallantry, British and
| French forces took full advantage of
the situation. The enemy was hurled off
Charlont butte in a dashing assault by
Franco-British units and to the east the
French also hammered at his line. To-
nights report shows that it was made
untenable and that French and British
have made rapid progress in exploiting
the success.
The fact that six hundred prisoners
were taken in one part of the action in
dicated that the retreat was more preci-
pitate than it has been for the last few
days. This was viewed as further evil
dence that the enemy was Withdrawing
under pressure and gave no hopes that
his lines along the Vesle would not be
fully prepared when the allies arrive be-
fore them.
Aside from the gains in territory made
in the allied counter drive, officers be-
lieve it has already served its greatest
purpose in proving to the German army
