GREAT FEATURE

THURSDAY NIGHT
Clsra Kimball Young Plays Hard Dual
Role In "The Worldly Ma
DONNA To Be Seen Here
This Evening.

John Mcbride, one of the best
known men in big city politics and
called the big boss" by men who are
behind the throne of the big six, was
accused OF murder by Allan Graves
proprietor OF tho notorious Cubist cab
aret yesterday.
Police officials who attempted to lay
hands on Mcbride yesterday were un-
able to locate him. His offices were
deserted and only a watchman was
found on the premises who stated that
Mr.. Mcbride had gone out OF town.
The facts OF the case as CLEANED by re-
porters were that Mcbride and Graves
became engaged In heated argument
involving the name of woman sup
posed to be Lucy Trevor the popular
cabaret entertainer ut the Cubist.
Whether or not this was true could
not be nscertained, but the earlier
facts in the case point strongly to TINS
as the cause OF the tragedy. II seems
as though waiter in the Cubist IN
the employ OF Graves has for some
time been openly selling dope and
drugs to addlcts Although never
caught in tn act his air of cautious
ness made him the center OF suspicion
by the local authorities. 1t had been
noised about for several weeks past
that both Mcbride and Graves were In
love with the Trevor woman, and that
the men had become engaged In alter
cations shortly before the death of the
waiter.
Attempts to learn the whereabouts
OF Mcbride failed yesterday. These
are a few OF the facts OF which you
will learn more when you see Clara
Kimball Young in her latest ant
greatest photodrama. THE World!

Washington Theater tonight.
