Milton inherited all his esthetic quail
ties-indeed, the rougher element at
college called him "the LADY," though
all recognized his intellectually. Even
at that period, long before he was
twenty, he contemplated writing the
great paradise Lost" which was not

During that long lapse of time Mil

twin poems, I'll Penseroso" and "L'Al-

seventeen-an unhappy marriage, as it
turned out; had written some stirring
pamphlets; had almost been killed for
opposing the leading politics; had re-
married and been left a widower
again; had lost his sight; had found
the three neglected children of his first
marriage not model daughters; had
lived in terrible loneliness in spite of
his great fame, and had been persuad-
ed to marry third time. for the sake
of being looked after.
He was an old man when the great
paradise Lost" appeared, which is
called 'one Of the few monumental
works Of the world" and his death
followed some ten years later.

REVELATIONS IN

Chief Flyn's Photodrama, "The
Eagles Eye" Discloses Secret
History.

Chief Flyn's startling secret SER
vice expose of the Imperial German
Governments spy system in this
country, "The Eagles Eye" pre-
scented by The Whartons, noted pro
ducers of serials, the first episode of
which will be shown at the Opera
House on Tuesday Jan. %, makes
manyremarkable revelations and dis
closes to the public for the first
time the real history of the Ameri-
can Governments battle with alien
spies during the past three years and
the dangers which still menace this
country.
When war was first declared in
Europe in August, 1914, the pres
ence of the Kaiser's secret spy army
in America was disclosed. Among
the leaders who soon attracted at
tention was DR.. Heinrich Albert, fs-
cal attache of the German Embassy,
who was sent to this country with
millions at his command to carry on
extensive propaganda to create pub
lie opinion favorable to Germany
and adverse to the Allies.
DR.. Albert always carried his
memoranda in a brown leather port
folio under his arm and never let it
out of his sight. One day he lost his
portfolio and does not know to this
time just how it happened. 1t fell
into the hands of the United States
secret service, who appreciated the
information it contained. The reve-
lations of these papers brought DR..
Albert's career in this country to
an end.
One of the most dramatic scenes
in this production is that in which
DR.. Albert is seen telling Count Won
Bernstorff and Captains Boyd and
Won Papen that he had lost his pa
pers. CONSERVATION reigned in the
camp of the spies.
Chief Flyn, in The Eagles Eye,
shows just how DR.. Albert lost his
papers and reveals diplomatic Sc
cret of international interest.
Imeperial German spies began
their system of intrigue and espion-
age here with very great contempt
for the American secret service.
Within a short time they found they
were dealing with worthy foemep
in Chief Flynn and his operatives.
Each one of the twenty episodes
of "The Eagles Eye" makes a dis
closure that presents true insight
into the activities of alien spies in
this country.

will be shown every Tuesday night
with a fine feature commencing, Jan.
