The great William Fox photoplay,
'Du Barry in which Theda Bara
1oes her most brilliant work, will ap-
pear at the Alta theater on Tuesday
,or run of two days. This play ID
he most wonderful creation OF its
kind that has ever been presented on
the films. All that Miss Bara has
lone only gives a suggestion of the
charm and elaborateness OF this great
productaion.
The story Is a historic one, which
many have attempted to write, and 1t
has even been. seen upon the stage.
but 1t remained for the films and Miss
Bara to give to the world the reyela-
tion of the character Of this wonder
tul woman. 1t is known that the great
actress spent long time in studying
the times of Louis XIV and the wo-
man who pervaded them. before she
attempted the creation of this photo.
play. There is no doubt that she has
succeeded in a marvellous manner in
grasping the subject. and in putting
1t upon the screen.
One of the most remarkable fea-
lures OF the play Is the dresses that
Miss Bara wears, which were specially
designed by her. after long consulta.-
tions with experts on the period of
Louis XIV. These dresses are pecul-
lar. however, in one way. They might
easily appear In drawing rooms of to-
day. Each one of them is a study of
the art of wOmanly adornment, and
IS a thing of beauty in itself.
Miss Bara has discovered and re-
vealed thousand little details of the
womanly toilette which will be i'm,
mensely interesting to every woman
These secrets are revealed upon the
screen in a most fascinating way, and
make the film additionally attractive
to all whom women charm
In this play Miss Bara does her
BEST work, due to the fact that she
has grssped the possibilities of the
drama and has entered into it with
a spirit which only she possesses.
There are myriads of gorgeous scenes
each filled with brilliancy and charm.

Topeka Woman Is Too Poor To

Pleads Her Case Before "Heart-

FORECAST.

The city commissioners are puzzled
to know what to do with the case of
an old lady living at 913 Morris ave
nue., who, according to neighbors,
owns five or six dogs. The woman
says she is very poor and cannot af-
ford to pay the taxes on them, which
would amount to quite a sum-
But, according to her story, all these
dogs are essential to her existence and
the maintenance of her place. One of
them is a tterror to snakes, she says,
and without him the snakes would
literally take possession OF her home.
Another runs errands, another guards
her door, and so on. Each dog has a
purpose in life, IL seems.
A few days ago she appeared before
notified that the taxes must be paid
or the dogs go to the pound, to plead
her case Notwithstanding the fact
that they believed the dog army be-
ing maintained by the woman was too
large and that the CANNES ate up more
food than they were worth, the COM
n1issioners took the matter under ad-
visemeut- But the law must prevail
they FAY. and the dogs will be i'm
prisoued by the dog-catoAer Monday
unless the taxes are paid.
Some time ago the dog-catcher got
hold OF one of the dogs and took him
to the pound When pleading for his
release without compensation was
plainly to no avail, the fond owner
appeared with two dollars and the
dog was released.

London, July 20.-Despite their four
years of fighting. some of the Ger

the world. That unauthorized Prus-

officer who has interviewed a number
OF the German prisoners. One Of them
he describes as IAN intelligent univer-
sity man" The British officer quotes
their conversation as follows:

the German. but you English are
weII-intended fools. We who govern
in Germany are not like you. We
govern the fools; the fools govern
you"
your principles are sweeping" re-
