ADJUSTMENTS
William Faversham
At the Acme t'-

1.-THE Man Who Lost Himself" is
the title of the Select picture which
will be shown at the Acme theatre
tonight in which William Faversham,
an esta blished actor of the stage wins
immense favor with fans of the silent
drama as well as he has done on the
stage.
The picture which is under the
personal direction of George B. Baker
is an example of fine dramatic art
and has a supporting cast of such
playerseas Mrs. De Wolfe Hopper, as
leading lady, Violet Reed, Radcliffe
Steele, Clyde Payton, and others as
well noted.
AS the story goes. Victor Jones, an
American. finds himself penniless and
stranded in London. He meets the
Earl of Rochester, the similarity be-
tween the two being so noticeable
the even friends mistake Jones for
the Earl. The Earl is estranged
from his wife and family, owes great
sums of money, and is considered in
a bad light by acquaintance. He
gets Jones drunk and sends him to
the Rochester mansion and commits
suicide. Until Jones receives a note
written by the Earl prior to his death
he does not appreciate his position.
Immediately he poses as the Earl, but
finally reveals the scheme. He has
fallen in love with the Earl's widow
and they decide to reside in America.
The comedy Dynamite and a
News picture completes the offering.
