Daring American Takes Jnjured Mans Place

An international spy incident,
 which occurred in the early part of the European war, forms the basis
 for one of the thrilling episodes in "Richard the Brazen," the Greater Vitagraph Blue Ribbon feature which was shown last night at the
 Palace theatre.
 When the war first began, Ger many had her agents in great num-
 bers in England as well as in France, Russia and the United States. They outnumbered the Al lied agents more than three to one, and large Bart of their work was in keeping track of every man con nected with any branch of the en- emy governments. It was not strange, then, that when British and French munitions agents came to this country to make purchases
 they were closely trailed by spies of Wilhelmstrasse.
 So closely was one of the Allied agents followed that he tried to elude his pursuers by leaping into an automobile. The others did the same thing and the two cars raced for more than twenty miles. One of them met with a minor mishap and the other, bearing the English
 man, smashed into farmers wa

Beautiful Louise
 Glaum Demonstrates Ability as Vampire.

Beautiful Louise Glaum, acting the leading part in "The Wolf Wo- man. which appeared last night at the Coliseum and which will be repeated tonight for the last time, ably demonstrated her ability to play vampire parts with great abil- ity and fnesse.
 "The Wolf Woman expert in en- snaring men with her sensuality and beauty adds man after man to her role of admirers. Only disaster and moral decay follow for every man who falls under her sway. The youngest son of a fine old family meets her and after many weeks kills himself when he finds that she won't marry him. The old CT son, astronomer and thinker, also falls for her wiles, and is readily led to believe that the woman is not responsible for the death of his brother.
 His former sweetheart, in an en- deavor to save the man, becomes in timate with the wolf woman anG plays her goodness and sweet char acter against the sensual attraction and baseaess of the other Sho finally wins. Wben the man an. nounces that he is through with the wolf woman, the latter get beastly drunk and falls, dragging large mirror with her. Her face is badly cut and her former admir- CTS drop away in droves, driver away by her awful face. As she mad no attraction to hold men. but her beauty, there is nothing to hold them.
 Finally she appeals to an old ad- mircr whom she has ruined and then ignored, but low as he is, victim of the drug habit, he turns from her in disgust and she is left to wend her unclean way through the bal ance of her life unloved and un- sought.

Buster Keaton Puts One Over on Murray.

Buster Keaton, the village pest of the Fatty Arbuckle comedies, boasts the distinction of having put one over on wise old Charlie Murray, and that is some distinction, because usually the genial EIibernian comes ont at the winning end i'll practical joking.
 At the New Years Eve celebra- ton of the .Los Angeles colony of film stars the various comedians had enliyened the affair by i'm promptu stunts with Charlie Murray as the prime instigator. Finally, when it seemed that everything was quiet, the efferyeseent Murray arose to make his usual speech.
 He had progressed to his first story when a cyclone shot under him knocking his feet from under and carrynig the surprised comedian across the dance floor in a slide for life. The cyclone was Buster Kea- ton who had merely done one of his famous headlong dives across the floor with Charlie Murray on the receiving end. It was the first time in film history that the Irish man finished a speech sitting down.

She leaves with him, thinking that he intends to marry her. The next morning she is dis illusioned and learns that there are many by-ways in the path of life.
 She learns that the only thing left for her to do is to get the money and she does so to such a good end that she is soon the own CT of large and elaborate gam bling place, much patronized by the social set. The preacher in the has been called to larg- CT field and has organized a brother.
