seventh and Thirtieth divisions captured
5000 Germans in three weeks near ST.

the American nurses. He specified the
reverence of soldiers for the nurse by tell

killed, while the nurse was uninjured. He
told how hundreds of severely wounded
men in British casualty clearing station

and perish in a raid while others were
taken to the year to escape the bombing.
He exhibited a gas mask. and with the

The great giants of the forest

gashes cut in the tree trunks by

But Hugon the Mighty was hap

forests of the north, storms had
come to be things of routine. To-

before him was the vision of a girls

Hugon the Mighty loved Marie.

At BrOtman's RialtO.

The famous Broadway stage sue

BARLEY Campbell, has been modern
lied and made into a powerfully
dramatic seven part special feature,
entitled THE Crucible of Life" in
which Grace Diamond and Jack
Sheriff. portray the leading roles.
THE Crucibie of Life" will be the
attraction at Brotman's Rialto the
atre on Friday
1.-THE Crucible of Life" is full of
the thrills that audiences like. The
action never lags and the entire
production has been produced in ex-
celIent style.
Captain Harry Lambert, who has
served in the army for years and
has Withstood the drumfire of battle
on number of occasions, produced
the drama and has injected many
thrills into the telling of the story
that go a long way towards making
the picture one that will hold the in
terest. The direction throughout has
been well handled, several battle
scenes being of intense interest and
many scenes showing large num-
bers of people are excellently pic
tured.

At the Majestic.

At the Majestic.
"A new bidder for popular favor,
THE Eye of the World" had for
its first showing at the Majestic
theatre last night before a crowded
house that gave every indication of
keen satisfaction. 1t is showing
again today and tomorrow.
The Eyes of the World" is the
first work of its kind, dealing in a
big way with California life in the
present day, and putting into pictor-
ial form the successful romance Of
the times, while it's characters are
fresh in the minds of several million
readers. The new production is
based on the book of the same title,
by Harold Bell Wright, who per-
sonally took an active part in put
ting his famous characters before
the camera. .
Every effort was expended to
make THE Eyes of the World" as
notable for beauty as for dramatic
values. OF the latter there is an
abundance. There is the escape of
the convict and his pathetic wan
behring's; the flight of the girl, Sybil:
the kidnapping of this girl by Rut-
lidge and the hand-to-hand fight of
the rival lovers on the mountain
cliff, which results in the tragic fate
of Rutlidge.

Standing.

Sensational playing marked the
last game of the Augustana inter-
department basket tourney when

The first half ended to 2 in

abreast with the Victors but were
left behind by two neat baskets by

One of the prettiest Chinese

The Forbidden City comes to the

by George Scarborough and was di-
rected by Sidney A Franklin. In
old China the currying of the en-
peror's favor by the mandarins was
equal to the state of petty politics
that existed in the court of Louis
XIV of France. Wong Ii was the
father of the beautiful San San. The
two had been banished and were
living in a remote section of the
country, while Wong Ii eked out
a bare existence giving lessons in
Chinese to foreign students. Thus
it came about that San San made
the acquaintance of John Worden,
a young American attached to the
United States consular depot. The
old mandarin grew fond of the
brilliant young American until he
discovered that his daughter and
Worden had been secretly married.
When Worden returned from
short trip he found that Wong Ii
and San San had disappeared.
Worden was broken hearted, but
