seems more than likely to sweep over
the entire country. Miss Neiland has
become an unintentional reformer be-
cause OF her expose of vicious condi-
tons, which unfortunately exist in
all thickly populated communities to
such an extent that the very founda-
tlons of the moral structure of COM
ing generations are threatened unless
they are soon corrected, and which
iaudable result cannot be satisfac-
torily achieved without concerted ac-
uon. "A house divided within itself
and it is to prevent any such catas-
trophe that Miss Neiland exposes the
unfortunate conditions disclosed in "A
Girl No Man Should Marry" She has
taken actual happenings for the basis
OF her remarkable play, and has
dramatized them into such form that
each person who sees it must give
heed to her warning. The indications
are that the Orpheum will be crowded
to witness this interesting drama when
IL closes its two days engagement to-
night.
Thurston, the famous magician.
with new program of sensational
features, will be the
IhurstOn, attraction at the Or

Friday night and
Saturday, matinee and night.
Few who watch Thurston's per-
formance know the magnitude of his
undertaking, the expense incurred in
building new mysteries, and the eX-
ecutive ability required to handle such
a production as his. Thurston. aside
from his. skill as a magician, is ex-

is more varied and interesting than
ever. 1t is staged dramatically, the
breathless condition among his audi
eHCe is worked up clever
narieS and impressive staging.
Most of Thurston's new features for
this year deal with life in the after
world, such as the naturalization OF
ghosts and the manifestations of
spirits, his big sensation is a remark

villa Captured" showing the most
realistic race between an automobile
and motorcycle ever staged.
"The Claim, the Metro feature ap-

day, is screen ver-
Edith Storey sion of the famous
I'm 'Irhe Claim" Broadway success
of the same name,
with talented Edith Storey in the
leading role. Many of the scenes are
laid in the west and many opportuni-
ties were given for some wonderful
outdoor scenery. The play is full of
action and suspense, and is certain to
furnish enjoyable entertainment. AS
for the star, she is an accomplished
artist, and it is always a pleasure to
watch her. In "The Claim" Miss

through this type of character that
she won fame back in the early days
of the moving picture.

with Charles Ray in the role of a
'mother's boy" who has been tied to
his mothers apron strings, and doesn't
know a little bit about the big, wide
world. Just the same, when Matthew
Denton's father died, and the stock in
the oil wells in Texas took sudden
slump, Matthew decides to go out and
see what is the matter with it. He
does. What he finds, and what he does
makes most interesting story, with
a wealth of action, and the romantic
element always well to the fore A
typical Ray part, which is quite
enough said on the subject.

"The Kaiser-The theateryesterday
Beast of Berlin" The Kaiser =
The Beast of Ber-
lin," a timely picture of the day, will
be shown for the last times at the
Victoria to-day. Endorsed by the So
ciety of National Defense, and many
Government officials, the value of this
production as an educational film is
almost without par. 1t shows vividly
why we are fighting the Hun, and
tells the story with a graphicness
that is beyond comparison.
Much favorable comment has been
heard at the Victoria during the first
two days of the presentation of this
production, of the excellent proiec-
ton given the picture by the opera
tors. Theatergoers seldom think OF
this detail. but the photoplay has been
