NCENARIO writers have pre-
y pared for Theda Bara a new
version of thee story of Salome,
that the famous vampire may
have another opportunity OF dis
playing her capacity for illuminat-
ing evil passions. In this tale
Salome appears as woman of ma
ture judgment, ambitious. unscru-
pulous and cruel. Not one redeem
ing trait does she disclose; not one
act of kindness is shown to her
credit. Misery, death, destruction
follow her path as on that of the
German army. And all the shocking
events of her wicked career are set
in an environment of oriental luxury
and opulence. The photography is
perfect, the staging elaborate, show
ing splendid conception Of detail
as to the palace in which Herod and
his lewd court held unseemly revels.
Contrasting strongly against this is
the background in which John the
Baptist is shown-truly a wilder
ness, uninviting and forbidding.
Here is a truly worthy work of
imagination, preserved for the
spectator by the art of the photo
grapher. Spectacular touches are
added by the clever employment of
trick photography, such as the sign
from heaven, when John is trans
figured, the cross he raises glowing

When the bombardment OF the

ants of the city believed an air raid
was in progress and took to the
cellars. When the truth became
known many persons left the city
but most of them now have return

Between September q and Sep

I shells fell in the outskirts of the
city, where the forts are located,
killing few persons and doing dam

AT THE
THEATERS
y ERWENT HALL GAME, in
his new one-act play, The
Iron Hand" at the Orpheum

IN EkW EN- HALL lAlNE, Ill
his new one-act play, The
Iron Hand" at the Orpheum
yesterday, responded to curtain calls
by stepping out of his role of Vic
tor Lambotte and by speaking to
Omaha people briefly as an in
valided member of the British navy
and the son of Hall Game.
Impassionately he stated that the
enthusiastic manner in which
Omaha received his little play indi-
Gated that the heart of America is
with the allies and that the fate of
Belgium, as suggested in the play,
would have been inflicted on other
nations if the iron hand of the Huns
had not been restrained. Mr.. Game
is an actor in his own right and
does not capitalize on his fathers
fame. THE Iron Hand" is a pow
erful presentation of the Hohenzol-
lern ideas of military necessity, of
"schrecklichkeit." 1t shows that "a
German is German and Belgian
is Belgian" and that liberty must
go on" 1t also emphasizes the
German policy of knowing neither
mercy nor remorse in gaining mill
tary ends. The play is founded on
the kaiser's speech to the Potsdam
recruits: children of my guard,
you are now my soldiers-mine,
body and soul! You have sworn to
obey all of my commands. From
this day on you must know but one
enemy, and that enemy is my en-
envy. And if | command you some
day to fire upon your own relatives
your fathers and mothers, sisters
and brothers, perhaps-remember
your oath, and obey"
Supporting Mr.. Game are J. ].
Mulrey, Theodore Kerwell, Carl
Dietz, Frank Johnston, Robert
Whitehouse, J. B. Rorke, Lillian
Paige and Frances Stamford. Mr..
Deitz, as Captain Won Muller of the
German army, incurs the hatred of
all through his dramatic interpreta-
ton of the overbearing manners of
the German military. The scene is
laid in Belgium, in a chateau which
has been invaded by the Huns. The
loyalty of the Belgians even in cap
tivity is forcefully depicted in con-
trast to the atrocious methods of
the "iron hand" The play is one of
the best of its class that has been
offered in this vaudeville house.
Moran and Mack, 1.-TWO Black
Crows" keep their audiences in
continuous merriment with lot of
nonsensical chatter Tina Lerner,
Russian pianist, is musician of un
usual ability and she has a personal
charm which adds to her accom-
plishment. Ivan Bankhoff and COM
panion dancers in The Dancing
Master" are worthy opponents of
Terpischore. Their act is above
the ordinary.
Equilli brothers are marvels Of
physical development. Lowell R.
Drew and Vesta Wallace offer a skit
entitled "At the Soda Fountain"
which is for fun only. Val Yda Of
fers a vocal repertoire in various
voices. The official weekly allied
war review shows interesting scenes
along the western front, The

interesting screen presentation.

VEGETABLE MARKET

No Need to Worry About Food
Shortage, Administration
Says-Prices Keep Up

There's no occasion for Philadelphians
TO worry about a food shortage. If
there's anything to worry about it t.,
{ the oversupply of fresh fruits and vege-
tables. So says the food administra- =
tion here.
And right straight back come the
many men and women who eat most of
their meals in restaurants, with the
question: Then why should there be a
jump of nearly 100 per cent in the price
of these articles on the menu"
Some believe the public eating house
proprietors are doing a losing business
these days with so many wheat. meat
and sugar problems to worry them and
that their only recourse is to raise the
price of their vegetables
The fact remains that seventy-two
carloads of potatoes from the South ar
rived here today, aside from the truck
loads that come daily from New Jersey
According to the food administration. it
takes only thirtyfive carloads to supply
this city, consequently spuds are ex-
pected to roll several rounds down the
price ladder this week
In addition to the potatoes came four
teen carloads of cantaloupcs from Cali
fornia. thirty-two carloads of peaches
4 from Georgia lettuce by the carload
from New York and the Great Meadow
district in New Jersey.
