NEW FILM EXPOSES
PRUSSIAN PLOTTENS

Revealing the far-reaching work
tngs of the German spy system in
this country, The Prussian Cur"
supervised by Captain Horst Won der
Goltz, confessed German secret agent
has been completed for William Fox
under the direction of r. A. Walsh.
The Prussian Cur" is a tremendous
nine-reel spectacle drama, featuring
Miriam Cooper and showing Captain
Won der Goltz in person engaged in
the pro-German activities which he
exposes. The production is de-
scribed as the most sensational
patriotic picture ever made.
1.-The Prussian Cur not only re-
Veals the workings Of German spies
In America, but it virtually is a re-
view of the whole World War. 1t
goes back to the close of the Civil
War and shows the development of
conditions and ways Of thought in
Germany and in the United States
that have finally clashed In the pres
ent struggle.
Beginning with Lincoln and Will
liam I. of Prussia, the picture throws
on the screen an impressive galaxy
of world figures, including President
Wilson, the Kaiser, General Per-
shing and numerous other states
men and military leaders who are
now making history.
First-run showings of THE Prus-
sian Cur" it is announced, will be
made only in f1rst-clasS theaterS.
These performances probably will be
given through the K. and E. Circuit.
The picture also has strong heart
interest in the romance of a typical
American family, one of whose
daughters is played by Miriam Coop
err in the role of Rose O'Grady.

REVELATIONS OF A WIFE
By AnELE GARRISON

never put them on my arms after my
father left
They had been his gift to me upon
my second birthday, and he had de-
lighted in seeing me wear them. And
when my mother gathered the
threads OF her broken life together
she found that one Of the bracelets
was missing. That my father had
taken it with him she was certain,
and with hot, passionate anger against
the man who could desert the baby
girl whom he had loved so tenderly,
she thrust the other bracelet into a
trunk out Of sight. That she had
not destroyed it spoke volumes to
my mind of her self-control and
sense OF justice.
They're IDENTICAL
The little mother who had been so
wronged is sleeping peacefully now,
and because of her dying request [
had forgiven my father, when an old
and broken man he had found me,
ending the quest OF years. But I have
found him only to lose him again.
Whether he We're living or had been
killed through the Vaccinations of
Grace Draper, by the group of South
Am erican revolutionist with whom he
had been associated for some secret
purpose of his own, I did not know.

VIVIAN MARTIN IS
WINSOME HEROINE

The feature attraction at the Ly-
ceum for the later half of the week
is The Fair Barbarian starring the
charming little star, Vivian Martin.
AS Octavia, an American girl who is
stranded in q small English town with
a very prim and somewhat snobbish
maiden aunt, Vivian Martin, in her
newest Paramount picture, makes a
Winsome heroine. Allowing the ma
tiVes to believe her to be "one of
those title hunting" American girls,
she engineers several romances, and
eventually wins the affection of every
one in the village. How she wins
over the social leaders to her side,
makes a part of story with all the
fascination OF which the popular star
is SO capable. The vaudeville act,
Green, Miller and Green is not only

as few words as possible There was
a dryness and tightness in my throat
which made it impossible for me to
say much. What to argue from this
message I did not know, dreaded
even to surmise.
Doubts That Trouble.
She didn't speak for several min
utes after 1 had finished evidently
bordering what 1 had said. At last
she shot a question at me abruptly:
DO you think these men who sent
this coin represent your father, Mar
garet?'
L reused at the question which put
into words the doubt that was tortur-
ing me.
'tHow can I tell?" demanded
passionately. "Of course, the coin
comes from the other bracelet, and
equally, of course, he must have
had it. But whether these men are
under his orders, or whether they are
enemies who have made away with
him and are acting upon knowledge
which they were able to CLEAN be-
fore his death, L do not know"

other, want to keep you in the house

A rather successful young lawyer

Some Rotten Spot Where? Antagon-

Unreasonable antagonisms are one
of my worst rotten spots. There are
certain perfectly good people for

antagonisms. Often these people are

who have been unusualiV nice to me
And yet Il do not like thee, DIR. Fell, -
and that's all there is to it. In vain I
argue with myself. find that, though
I can manage to treat them deceutly
and even speak them fair, there is
some mean rotten part Of me that
makes me grudging of credit where
they are concerned, no matter how
emphatically credit is due: ready to
misjudge them where misjudgment is
possible and actually plea when
they do show up in a bad light.

Sunshine Sisters are creating. These

Zethro's dogs do nothing seen in the

this act in the lead of all animal acts.
Ray Donlon with the only act of its

nothing of importance throughout
