OrchfctUa- Genu, THRILLING WAR DRAMA HOLDS BOARDS AT BAKER THEATER "The Man Who Stayed at Home" Deals With Breaking Up of Germain Espionage System in England at Outbreak of Hostilities. HP- enc HE plot of 'The Man Who Stayed Home," which is thrilling audi ences at the Baker Theater this week, is reported to be taken from a real happening in England at the open ing of the great war, and as British investigation tightened many such In cidents and others still more startling were doubtless unearthed, but news of them squelched by the unbending cen sorship established. German spies were everywhere throughout the Kingdom and letters and 6tories gradually fil tered into this country that contained enough material for hundreds of plays. Most or the spies were men and women employed In domestic positions in fam ilies where It was thought Information might leak that would be useful to the Kaiser; the army, navy and even high officials in government service every where spies were routed out and dealt with according to severe British laws and justice. "The Man Who Stayed at Home." as portrayed in the play, is an English secret service man, whose failure to en list caused the loss of friends and ac quaintances everywhere, making his duty doubly hard, but who, through a brilliant coup, runs to earth a whole gang of the Kaiser's tools and natural ly vindicates himself and incidentally wins back his sweetheart. It is a splen did role for Edward Horton, the popu lar Alcazar Players leading man, and he takes full advantage of it. James Guy-L'sher. another Ali-our Player, who appears as one of the Ger man spies, was featured througTiout Canada In the leading role by William Captain Caroer to Speak.
