AT HE PLAYHOUSE.

When the long history OF this world
war Is written and the deeds Of the
ruthless Huns put down for the en.ight-
enment Of the future generations, the
tales Of their crueltles and deeds OF In
justice will be many and varied. A GER
tain tale will stand out most prominent
and will make a most emphatic impress
sion on all who read and hear about IT,.
10 Is the killing Of Edith Cavell, the
English Red Cross nurse, whom the
Germans shot because she aided a fell
low countryman TO escape the cruelty
Of the condition OF being a prisoner In
their hands. They dlsregarded the fact
that she had toiled continuously for
their wounded as we'll as those Of the
Allies. No sense OF gratitude was ever
In the heart Of the Hun.
Edith Cavell will be portrayed al the
Playhouse by Julia Arthur, the famous
actress, IN the photoplay masterpiece,
Edith Cavell. The Woman the Germans
Shot"
In addition, Fatty Arbuckle, the
apostle OF funmaking, Will be seen In
his latest comedy, "The Sheriff" In
this comedy there is sure to be numer-
Gus surprises for the followers OF lr-
resIstible Fatty.
