Alta Today.


A new photopliay of peculiar in
terest is announced for the Alta the
ater beginning on today. 1t is called
THE Girl With the Champagne
Eyes" and has as its star the beauti-
full Jewel Carmen.
The play deals with the life of
person of such exotic and fascinating
beauty that it stands in the way of
her making a living as other women
are permitted to do. This girl, how
ever, chooses OF become a thief, to
keep herself from falling lower. 1t
is enough to say here that she in
jures through her offences the very
man whom she comes to love and it
is her efforts to make up for this
great harm that we see depicted in
large portion of the play.
The play is presented in excellent
fashion. Most of the scenes are laid
in the far north-in the crude civil
ization that follows those who seek
gold. In the cast with Miss Carmen
are Francis Carpenter, Gertrude Mes
senger and others of the famous "Al-
