GARDEN,

Does the average washingtonian.
regardless of age or sex, carry a
secret yearning, brought forward
from the days of youth, that at some
time in his or her life the spirits of
romance and adventure had combined
to lead one out into the open world,
and that they had received as a result
some of the thrills, emotions, and ulti-
mate victories with which the lives of
the heroes and heroines as found be-
tween book covers and on the screen
seem to be replete? Judge from the
capacity audiences at Moore's Garden
Theater the past week, where May
flower Photoplay's screen version OF
Richard Harding Davis story, "Sol-
diers Of Fortune" has been playing,
the answer is most emphatically-they
do. In fact, the public likes the pro-
duction and has placed the stamp OF
its approval so firmly thai the theater
management was left with no other
recourse than to extend the run an
other week.
As is well known. the book is one
Of Mr.. Davis best, and Allan Dwan,
who produced and directed the pro-
duction, has lost none of its original
appeal. Every character, every scene
every tense and thrilling situation is
developed in a manner that only the
motion picture camera will allow for
in short, one actually lives a story
which heretofore has only been OF an
imaginary nature.

Moore's Strand Theater this week in
his latest release as presented by the
First National Exhibitors Circuit

Briefly the picture tells a story OF
Johnny Spivens who has more ambi-
ton and less good luck than any

widow, a grocer's clerk and day-and-
night delivery system, desperately in

make himself a village hero. He was
not vain or egotistical it was simply
that he had to accomplish something
great in order to set himself straight

NURSE COMES TO
LIFE in COFFIN

BERLIN, Nov. 3.-The whole city is
shocked by the strange case OF Nina
Braun, a nurse, twenty-five years old.
BY mere chance she was prevented
from being buried alive.
Automobiles speeding through
Grunwald saw the nurses body, seem
ingly hfeless, lying in a grove. They
took 1t to town, where the municipal
physician could not detect the pulse
or a heart beat, and all attempts to
revive her having failed, she was pro-
nounced dead from morphine poison
ing. Suicide was suspected.
The unidentified body was taken to
the morgue, put in a coffin, on which
the lid was fastened, and the police
were notified. After fifteen hours, as
the gravediggers were digging a
grave for her, a police sergeant ar.
rived and opened the coffin to try to
Identify the body. The sergeant, the
gravediggers and the morgue attend
ants were astounded-thew woman was
breathing heavily.
Thus rescued accidentally from a
living grave, the nurse was hurried
from the coffin to a hospital, where
she regained consciousness LONG
enough to identify herself, and died.

Columbia Theater yesterday for Il
four-day run.
Miss Martin has the role of girl

piece that is utterly amazing to those
cinema devotees who fancied that
