"The Cold Decky at the Plaza

The Cold Deck" featuring William s. Hart, comes to the Plaza for today only. The Cold Deck" is said to be q -blooded American play full of love and action.
 COralie, a Spanish dance hall adven- turess, offers to Level Leigh-the hon. est gambler-a love which he can re- spect but not accept. She learns that his fortunes are at a low ebb and that in order to save the life of his sister, he is attempting to replenish his purse at the gambling table. She double crosses him by cold-decking him, so that he loses all his money and then attempts to win his love by offering her assistance. Forced by fate to ob- tain money to save his sick sister, Level Leigh becomes a bandit, and when the murder of the stage mes senger is perpertrated during a holdup, Level Leigh believeing himself the criminal, gives himself up to justice.
 The man who double crossed him in the game of cards, becomes conscience stricken and helps him to escape from jail. Then follows sceneN after scene of exciting chase; horseback riding such as has never before been seen on the screen, and fall of both rider and horse over precipice fully twenty feet in height. All brought to a wonderful climax by the capture of the real mur- derer; the reinstatement of Level Leigh-the honest gambler-and the love of the girl of his hearts desire.

NO, SHUBERTS DIDN'T
SUE D. v. GRIFFITH
Hearts Of the World" Gives Les
son in theatrical Strategy.

Behind an announcement from d.
w. Griffith this morning that his Gin
ema-musical spectacle Hearts of the
World' Is to resume its Washington
engagement at the National theater
next Monday. there lies an Interesting
tale Of threatened conflict between the
fllm wizard and the Shuberts, who
control the bookings at Polls theater.
A bit Of strategy on the part of A.
L Grey. Griffith's general manager,
prevented the clash and made possible
the return of the thriller to the Capt.
tai after a weeks interruption.
The contract under which Hearts
of the World" was presented at Poll s
originally called for three weeks, but
when Mr.. Griffith released his first
week to enable the government to
show its official film. "Pershing's Cru
saders''. his time for Hearts of the
World' shrunk to two weeks. From
its first performance 1t became ap-
parent that Hearts OF the World"
was good for a several weeks run at
Polls, but the Schuberts refused To
grant Mr.. Griffith any extension. The
situation was laid before Messrs. Klaw
& Erlanger and that firm rearranged
the Nationals bookings in order to
bring the spectacle into that play
house next Monday.
Then came a warning from the Poll
management that the National book
ing was in violation of the contract
under which Hearts of the World"
was being shown at Polls.
The Griffith representatives coun-
tered with a declaration that they
would not present the spectacle yes
terday. though It had previously been
arranged that Polls might have II
for this Sunday. in addition to the
period covered by Gr1ffith's contracts.
Many tickets bad been sold for the
Sunday performances. Failure to pre-
sent the spectacle would mean re-
funding to the purchasers and the
closing Of the tlieater for the day.
When confronted by this situation
James Thatcher, general manager
of the Poll circuit, sought a COM
promise with the Griffith manager,
and after some parley an agreement
was reached. Thatcher granted a
release from the "shut-out" clause,
enabling Griffith to play at the Ma
tional without danger Of interfer-
ence, and Grey in return agreed to
play the two Sunday performances.
Thus did the prospects of a legal
battle. involving d. W. Griffith, 8.
z. Poll, the Shuberts and possibly
Klaw & Erlapger vanish into thin
air. Hearts Of the World" will be-
gin its engagement at the National
next Monday afternoon. Seats for
all performances are now on sale at
the National box office.
