BILL
FOR THE STRAND
vaudevIIIe's Greatest Stars to
Appear Next "Wednesday at
Big Feature

Ldstenl The Lights Club is going to
bring Broadway right to your doors.
This is only another way of saying
that this town has been selected as
one of the six places to be visited this
year by the club on its annual cruise
and that a benefit performance will
be given at the Strand Theatre on
Wednesday matinee and night, July
80 in which more than a score of
Broadway's greatest stars will appear.
Among these famous players may
be mentioned Eddie Foy, Clifton
Crawford, Frank Tinney, Pearl White,
Bert Levy, Sophie Tucker and her
Jazz Band, Harry Fox, Dolly Sisters,
Harry Won Tilzer, Al Won TilZer, Billy
Murray, Victor Moore, Dooley and
Sales, Mcintyre and Heath.
Now to the uninitiated this all
calls for an explanation. Here Is the
secret. The Lights Club Is composed
of the big people of every branch of
the amusement profession. Once a
year they give their services that the
cruise may be held and that the club,
through the benefit performance, may
replenish its treasury. There Is no
charge for their services and that Is
why the scale of prices will be from
SO cent to $2-a price within the
reach of all and a price all gu of
proportion to the magnitude OF the
talent to be offered.
This will be the Sixth Annual Cruise
of the Club and 1t will give the resi-
dents of this place an exceptional OPP
portunity to see a score of notable
artists gathered together on one bill
at a price which will probably never
again be duplicated except In events
of this kind. Advance sale at box Of
fee starts today.

GIRL At BAY"
At ROYAL TODAY
Intense Drama Shown B.
vitagraph Stars corinne
Grifith

An intense drama of a mans love
and a woman's risk is unfolded with
splendid dramatic power in Vita
graphs "A Girl at Bay" the Corinne
Griffith picture which will be shown
in the Royal theatre today. The
picture also Is a fascinating applica-
ton of a new theory of criminology,
hat the guilty person is bound some
day to reveal himself or herself
through a distinctive personality, in
this case the personality of a young
girl as revealed in the furnishing of
her home.
Mary Allen Miss Grifith) by a
strange turn of fate awakens In her
own apartment, in her hand a blood
stained knife and at her feet the body
or a young judge. Fleeing the scene,
convinced of her own guilt, she seeks
to avert suspicion by becoming secre-
tary to the brother of the slain man.
Between the girl and her employer
a strong love develops, but always in
her mind is the torture Of knowing
that some day the crime will find
her out And 1t Is this brothers
friend, s~uspecting the girl has knowl-
edge of the crime, although not COM
hitting 1t, employs his theory that If
she eve furnishes another home it
will be q replica in atmosphere of
the murder chamber.
The later action deals with the set
ting and springing of this trap in the
very home in which she and the vic
TINS brother have planned for their
honeymoon, for she marries him to
his life.
The scenario Is from Joseph Col
lomb's magazine story Hunt the
Woman" and Tom r. Mills directed
the picture. In the supporting cast
are Walter Miller. Harry Davenport,
Denton Vane, Walter Horton, James
Costello and Anne Brody.

STRAND SHOWS
FARCE COMEDY

Every player engaged to interpret
the various characters in "Al
Wrong" the most amusing farce
comedy which opens O. two-day run
at the Strand Theatre today, was Sc
lected with exceedingly careful judg-
| ment so that all would fit exactly in
to the type of part for which each
was cast.
OF course, Bryant Washburn Is the
bright particular star. Inc he shines
and wrinkles and scintillates through
out the entire course Of the comedy:
Mildred Davis, as Betty Thompson"
is an ingenue very much after the
style of Mary Pickford and Mary
Miles Minter, In fact, bearing q close
facial resemblance to both; Charles
Bennett, HI plays the role of DON
aid Thompson" while having COM
paratively little to do, does that little
well; Helen Dunbar playing "Betty's'
mother, and of course "Warren's"
Mother-in-law, gives a delightful de-
lineation of this important charac-
ter; Fred Montague, as the gruff but
good-natured Randolph Graham"
the hero's employer, exactly typifies
the modern American business man,
whose motto is MAKE good, or get
OUT" while Marguerite Livingston
gives q very pleasing portrayal of
Ethel Goodwin" the ex-school chum
Of Betty"
With such a comedy cast as this,
engaged to interpret one of the fun
niest screen farces ever written, it Is
a foregone conclusion that All
Wrong will be most adequately pre-
scented at the Strand Theatre.

NaDoi Experts Favored Scrap

Special Despatch TO The Sun.


!. WASHINGTON, June 21.-Controversy
ever the destruction Of the German fleet
began several months ago when some OF
the American and British naval experts
recommended that the feet be sunk to
avoid disagreement as to the number and
type OF ships to be assigned to each
victorious nation,
The American peace delegation, in
Guiding President Wilson, was reported
IN press dispatches as favorinR this plan
The report created widespread comment
here, and President Wilson himself au-
thorized fat denial. charactsriEing the
plan as"absurd."
Secretary of the Navy Daniels also ex-
pressed emphatic disapproval of the plan
II was contended here that such, a move
would involve waste Of millions of easily
scrapped metal In the ships which would
have value. even as scrap steel meas
psed In hundreds Of thousands Of dollars
various other suggestions as TO the
future use OF the German warships were
made both here and abroad. II SUISSE
ouently developed that some OF the
American naval officers who were acting
rs advisers to the delegation seriously
entertained the idea OF sinking the Ger
man ships on the ground that they could
not be adapted to the naval needs of the
allied nations and OF the United States.
Testimony before the House Naval Com
mittes given by several American naval
ofhcers supported this contention. Sug-
CARTONS also wera made by the naval
advisers OF the United States and Great
Britain In Paris that the German subma-
rfnes be sunk. This. however, was not
carried out. and German submarines al
ready have been distributed to some of
the victor nations, the United States
having used Ave Of these enemy craft In
the Victory loan campaign.

TWO HELD IN HUGE
THEFTS OF FILMS
Syracuse Pair Accused of
Handling Stolen Reels.
Special Despatch TO THE Sun.

SYRACUSE, June 21.-John Van Arnam,
32. former Syracuse University football
star and now Aim broker and circus
owner, was arraigned in police court
hero to-day charged with criminally re-
ceiving stolen property.
Van Arnam's arrest grew out of the
apprehension here on Friday Of Hans
Frohman, New York Aim broker, and
the attendant disclosure that Syracuse
was the fence" for approximately $12.-
100000 worth of motion picture films,
stolen by a gang Of 100 thieves In New
York. Philadelphia. Boston and Chicago
during the past year
Van Arnam was held under bail for
trial June 80. Frohman also was ar
raigned. but was unable to furnish
bonds and his case was adjourned until
June "a.
II Is not believed that the local sus-
poets were the head Of the ring. which is
believed to be nationwide, but it is
thought that by their arrest the local
office has been put permanently out OF
business and clues valuable in hunting
down the rest have been obtained.
