June Caprice at Empress


 Admirers of June Caprice will soon see that smiling William Fox star in a new, pretty and stirring photoplay. It is called The Heart of Romance and will be shown at the Empress theater today.
 Miss Caprice begins this photoplay in an unusual way-that is, unusual for Miss Caprice. She wears real stylish clothes. In all the previous pictures she has appeared in Miss Caprice began in rags and ends in riches, but in "The Heart of Ro- mance," she is rich from beginning to end. The story is that of young writer who is in love with Eloise Jackson (June Caprice). He is poor and Eloise's guardian fears he is fonder of her money than of her. To test the young man the guardian devises several tests.
 These are exciting in the extreme. Eloise is really in love with the writer but she obeys the command of her guardian to prove the youth really cares for her. At one point she joins the chorus of a Broadway

Thriller at Columbia

"A tnrllllng and most realistic drama of the wickedness and folly of circumstantial evidence is at the Columbia today and tomorrow. It's title is "The People vs. John Doe.''
 In series of scenes, each more interesting than the other, the story of John Doe will be unfoulded from the time when, as a hopeful man, he finds employment and a home with a kind-hearted farmer, to the dreadful hour when as broken creature he waits the summons of the executioner for the brutal mur- der of his benefactor.
 The farmer and his sister are shot and in John Does possession is found a pistol. That is the only shred of evidence against him.
 But conscienceless detectives by false testimony, by confessions wrung from the accused by that modern torture known as the third degree overwhelming their victim, swear away his life in court and rush him to the condemned cell.
 Only at the very last moment is John Doe saved, and this, not be- cause the administrators of justice have seen that this justice" has miscarried, but because clever woman lawyer has seen a little rift in the well-l laid case against the in nocent man, and with this as the opening has torn the whole plot tc rags and saved a human life. Step by step, with ever growing excitement, the audience will be leo in the unfolding of this moving tragedy.
 The enmeshing of the man, tho brutality of the detectives, the per functory proceedings of the court ! the terrible moments when, an all night fight for a reprieve was beins made in the very shadow of tn, electric chair-all of these thing will be shown with unflinching fl delity and unflinching realism.

Return to Their Failure.

The Lys salient being held on its
flanks. just as the Picardy salient
was held, the Germans next move
was 70 return to their failure at this
salient's southern barriers.
On May ~ they launched their
third offensive from Noyon over =
front OF forty miles to Rheims. They
crossed the Aisne on an eighteen
mile front and reached the Marine on
a six-mile front, between Chateau
Thierry and Dormans. They man.
aged to deploy to some extent on the
east of the Marine front, but were
held on the north bank OF the river.
This third offensive was stopped
and neutralized on May 81. On June
Q the enemy, on an extension of its
base westward. between Noyon and
Montdidier-twenty miles-launched
the fourth offensive with Compiegne
as its obvious objective. His maxi
mum penetration was seven and a
half miles, which immediate coun-
ter attacks reduced to less than five.
1t was held almost from the first
and died away on June IL.
Both the third and fourth offensives
were rendered aboEtive by the allied
troops, instead of retreating before
the enemy's advance, deploying right
and left thus strengthening the
fanks-making them in these in
stances invulnerable-and depending
on prepared positions to stop the
enemy's center.
From June IL until Monday the
Germans. save for their assault on
Rheims on July L, have been prac-
tically on the defensive, while limit
ed local offensiVes made by the allies
from Ypres down to Chateau-Thierry
and almost daily air operations over
the enemy's supply bases and lines
of communication have broken up
his formations, delayed his concentra-
tions, and robbed him of several
valuable strategic positions-east Of
the FORGET of Nieppe in the Lys
salient, north and south of the
Somme before Amiens, northwest
and southeast of Montdidier, north
west and southeast Of Scissors. and
finally northwest OF Chateau-Thierry,
where the Americans, first, from June
6 to June II. and then on July 3,
gained ground, including the
strategic position of Vaux, which
strengthened the French
positions as far north as the Scissors
sector and protected the Marne from
an enemy crossing west of Chateau
Thierry.
