PHOTO PLAY. OFFERINGS FOR. TODAY.

TT ITTY GORDON in adele"
~ will be the offering at the
- Muse for today and the rest
of this week in a story of a girl from
Louisiana who becomes a Red Cross
nurse in France. The part played
by Miss Gordon is a fascinating one
and one that calls upon the best she
has to offer in histrionic ability in
order to make of the play really
great piece of screen work. 1t is the
first play that Miss Gordon has made
under the banner of the United Pic
ture Theaters and in it she has done
herself full justice, for the fine record
she has made on the screen is fully
upheld. Although built with the
great war as a background adele"
is not a war picture, but a love
story.
Theda Bara in "The Light" at
the Sun today and the remainder of
this week portrays the life of "the
wickedest woman in Paris" who at
the time that everyone else is sacri-
ficing for their country is living a
life of riotous revelry. And at the
call of a sculptor who has been
blinded when just at the height of
his power she gives up her life of
ease and plenty and goes to live with
him to care for him. And through
the haze of all her wicked deeds
there shines to her the light of
better and purer life,--a life of saori-
flee for the blind sculptor. Miss Bara
is at her best in such an emotional
role as is called for in THE Light"
and has built into the play her own
skillful Interpretation 'efthe part of
the fallen woman.

On account of the grain elevators
of the Omaha terminals having been
filled to capacity, or nearly so, an
embargo has been laid on the ship

this time the government has
around 100000 bushels in storage
here, and this added to the quantity
held by local concerns and outside

situation will be relieved within a
few days and that Omaha will be
open for the shipment of wheat
