did cast. Including- Leon Bary, for

managers of America have soug-ht some
means of presenting the most famous
continental actors and actresses in
American plays In which the difference
in lanfruagres could be overcome. At
last World-Pictures has found the
method of doing this. With the or
ganisation of the Brady-International
Service the foremost French actors will
be shown on American screens in
" American plays. This means that
Americans will now have the long-hoped-for
opportunity of seeing the
beauty, the grace, the finish of French
stara in compelling-, powerful photo
plays. The first offering in this service is
"Atonement," which presents Reglna
Badet and Albert Signer in a particu
larly brilliant, intense offering.
The story deals with the love adven
tures of a wonderfully beautiful and
talented dancer. She loves and is be
loved by one of the two musicians in
her troupe. She is also loved by Count
Btrerrl, a wealthy bachelor who covets
her for his own and who goes to great
lengths to get her. The most sensa
tionally thrilling drama imaginable is
said to develop from this situation.
"AMERICANO" IS AT SUNSET
Popular Douglas Fairbanks Film Is
Being Shown.
"The Americano," that popular Doug
las Fairbanks photoplay presenting the
screen's "sunshine boy" as a hustling,
aggressive American in a Central
American revolutionary mixup, will be
shown, commencing today at the Sun
set Theater. A one-reel comedy and
Paramount Pictographs are also on the
bill.
;"The Americano," in which "Doug'
is supported by Alma Reuben, Spottis
woode Aitken, Carl Stockdale and
other Triangle players, is a play of
stirring adventure.
. Fairbanks, of course, is in the center
of things. He appears as Blaze Derringer.-
Blaze goes to the Republic of
Paragonia to represent some American
mining interests. The principal reason
why he undertakes the commission is
that he has had a glimpse in New York
of the beautiful daughter of the presi
dent of Paragonia and is exceedingly
desirous of her further acquaintance.
On his arrival in the country he finds
the president in Jail, the prime min
ister in hiding and the company's of
fices demolished. There remains of the
office staff only one survivor, a negro
porter, who has spent most of his time
since the political upheaval in a cellar.
Joining forces with this lone survivor.
Blaze sets about establishing condi
tions of peace, righting the wrongs of
the imprisoned officials and generally
bringing about a state of affairs where
he can do business for his company and
marry the girl of his choice.
- A pitched battle with four Para-
gonlan athletes who endeavor to
squelch him is one of the interesting
features of the picture.

by Gilson Willets.
Mr. Milhauser has managed to get
clever twists into almost every scene.
An example of the seventh episode
is seen when Peter Hale, the hero, is
arrested. Philippa Brewster visits him
and asks the policeman to leave them
alone. - The latter says he cannot. '
must know what passes between you
he informs them. No sooner has he
said this than Mollie King, vas Philip
pa. slips a note under his coat collar and
bangs him up against the door, so
that Peter can put his hand through
the bars and take it.
There are decided thrills In this. At
one stage of the story two doors con
front the characters. Between them
-is a -note which reads: "Behind one of
these doors lurks death. Enter at your
peril. The Masked Stranger."
The subsequent action of Dick An

12 miles of the Olympic highway north

section of the road for clearing the re

on this work recently were rejected as
being too high. Heavy cost of getting

the causes of the high figures submit
