Anita SteWGrt Stars in
'FrOm Headquarters
Play of Police Life to Be Shown at New Majestic
No. l.

" companions of roulette at Monte
Carlo.
The simplest form Of wheel play in
minor gambling places is TO place the
wager on a certain number as the stop
ing place Of the needle, or on the Sc
lection Of black or red as the stopping
place. Manifestly, where mere color
is chosen the chances appear to be
even-as the stakes should be. But
where a player selects a certain num-
Der, his chances OF winning are but
one in 80; wherefore the house must
give heavy odds in the players favor.
II is here that the chief danger Of the
player and the chief security Of the
house lie. The great odds are a sore
temptation 10 a man who In fancy secs
a very substantial sum returned to him
for a small outlay; while the house
can view the situation with perfect
equanimity, since its chance Of losing
more than once in many trials is very
remote.
An Interesting discovery is the pos.
sibtlity Of working nm honest wheel
dishonesty, This was shown in Chi
cago. The wheel was operated by a
woman, who cheated the player by a
unique method. Detection Of this con-
stitutes a thrilling scene in Gambling
in Souls" the photoplay in which Mad
laine Traverse will be seen at New Ma
jestic No, l next Thursday, Friday and
