In it he plays a part of the kind in which ho delights, that of strong and masterful man who accomplishes his ambitions re gardless of all' opposition. ''J,oa:led Dice" was written by Ellery. H. Clack, with a scenario by Gilson Willets. The story is that of a man' who believes there h no Gad.. Unscrupu lous, forceful, dominating, he nt lust' realizes his ambitions and becomes' tho governor of his state. ,And then, nt the height of his power'' and ap parently of unbeatable 're;iirth the hand of God shows itself. Tne pic ture portrays a character' and a be lief (ofr luck of it '.that .Is not un common in public life. . And there is k moral there that i obvious. All who have seen Mr. Keeniirt on tho screen will at once appreciate the suitability of his 'vigorous personality to such a part. "Loaded Dice'' will be nt the Star Theater ' today and -tomorrow, - Also another official war" picture at the Britain's Bulwarks series. ' FACE TO FACE WJTH KAISER.
