DitInas Theatre.

1JlLlItt 1IAI<1tICs
Two big special feature attractions
will be shown at the Ditmas theatre
today and tomorrow. Theda Bara
will be seen in her biggest and latest
success, when Men Desire" also as
an added attraction, Bert Lytell In
The Lions Den,"a Metro super pro-
duction. Tomorrow the Riddles will
receive handsome presents at the mat
inee performance.
Beware of limitations" Is the motto
Of j. Gordon Edwards, the William
Fox director, who las staged most of
Theda Bara's super-productions. BY
limitations he means fakes stage prop
critics such as paper houses, imitation
goldfish and paste jewelry. Only the
real thing a find its way into a j.
Gordon Edwards picture.
If a fortune in gold dollars is to be
shown in a picture, you can count
upon 1t hat the dollars will com
fresh from the United States mint and
not from the stage mint. where
"phony'' coin lis turned out by the
bushel.
So it happens that the passport
which Marie Lohr carries about with
her in when Men Desire" the Theda
Bara super-production now showing
at the Ditmas theatre. is the real
thing.
Royal Program
The fact that Arizona" was pic
turized four years ago by its author,
Augustus Thomas. did not discourage
Douglas Fairbanks from doing it
himself and reviving the attractive
character of Lieutenant Denton 1t
will be shown at the Royal theatre
today and tomorrow.
Like the typical S-hakespearian
actor that he is, Douglas has been
spouting the lines of Arizona" to
such an extent that his Office staff
have found it necessary to memorize
cues, and sacrifice their routine labor
to TACT out" with Fairbanks.
Ever since he first saw the play
Arizona" it has been his dream
his n great ambition-to produce
It, and when the opportunity arrived
to do it, 1t vas a happy day for
Douglas Fairbanks.
Coming TO Strand.
Six famous stars-Kitty Gordon,
Carlyle Blackwell, Montague Love.
June Elvidge, George MacGuarrie and
Madge Evans-all appear in William
A. Brady's sensationalfy big picture
success, "Stolen Orders" which on
Monday will be shown at the Strand
Theatre.
The immensely and strength OF this
tremendous production can be judged
from the extraordinary assemblage or
stars secured for the presentation OF
this exceptional attraction.
Stolen Orders is a big picture in
every sense Of the word. 1t is grip
ping drama and ii is a spectacular
treat. The last reel. In which a fight
in the car of a dirigfble balloon is
staged and in which the two combat
ants tumble into the ocean below, Is
one Of the most thrilling things ever
shown on the screen. The rescue of
the girl by a hydro-aeroplane is an
other OF the many thrills with which
Stolen Orders" abounds-
