 The story as written embraces a similar incident, and as whole tells the story of the thousands upon thousands of Americans who enlisted in the Canadian army to fight the big fight, even before America entered the war.
 T feel that it should set at rest for all time the arguments regarding why we are in the war. I want it to show the American public that we are at war with people whose brutality and barbarian, the result of their govern mental system, is something that every one of us must hate and do our best to stamp out.
 The picture is frankly an appeal to young men to do their duty in the fighting line and to old men to do their duty as we'll by subscribing for every liberty bond that they pos sibly can. The men who are giving their lives are entitled to support they are giving their all, their lives Surely those who stay at home can do as much Their duty is plain. wish that the liberty bond committees would put an information table in the theatres wherever my picture Is shown.

THE BIGGEST AND. BEST
Photoplays Obtainable, Now Being Shown
at the Colonial Theatre.

Dustin Farnum in the William Fox
special seven-reel drama, ''The Spy," is.
the big attraction, matinee and evening,
at the Colonial.
"The Spy" is an expose of German
methods of espionage in the United
States. 1t combines mass of thrills
with a lack of unnecessary melodrama
and it gives an entertainment that is
well worth the price of admission 1t is
a war story without the superfluous bat
tie scenes which producers are now try
ing to feed the public.
Dustin Farnum, as usual, does sterling
work. He gives to the character of
Mark Quaintance, the spy, naivete and
wholesome good humor which are in
marked contrast to the vivid dramatic
scenes of the photoplay. He starts out
as young man of wealth and social
standing, who enlists on a dangerous
mission to Germany in the cause of his
country.
After many hair-raising experiences,
he gains possession of list of Tuetonic
spies in the United States.
Friday, matinee and evening, the noted
beauty, Lima Cavalieri, is offered in the
new Paramount picture, ''The Eternal
Temptress." OF this feature, the Dra-
matte Mirror writes the following: "A
distinct triumph in artistry and worthy
of it's beautiful star
