Devils Pass Key" Film Play Depicts Night Life of Paris

Scenes of gay Parisian life. pro duced with unusual realism, are features of Erich Von Stroheim's la- test Universal.Jewel production, The Devils Pass Key" which comes to the Central theatre Friday and Saturday and Eagle theatre Sun day and Monday.
 Mir. von Stroheim was the author and director of Blind Husbands" ;" the recent Universal success, said to be one of the best photoplays of several seasons.
 The reproduction in The Devils Pass Key of life in Paris, where the story is laid, is genuine in every detail Mir von Stroheim has spent a good deal of time there himself and much of the local color of the scenes in the French capital is the result of his own experience.
 The story concerns an American author living in Paris with his ex- travagant wife, who becomes hope lessly in debt at the shop of an un- scrupulous modiste. Expecting the woman to follow. the Parisian meth cd of getting a rich lover to pay her bills, the modiste introduces her to an American army officer. This turns out to be the most fortunate thing that could have happened to the young wife.
 Sam de Grasse, who played the part of the husband in Blind Illus bands" is the husband in 'The Dev- il's Pass Key" and Una Trevelyn is l!.s wife. Clyde Fillmore portrays the American officer. Others in the cast are Maude George, Leo White, Mae Busch. Ruth King and Jack Matheis.
