Miss Daiton, 'lured by an offer of $1000, which sum she needs' to -4?: ' - vr ?r : J TiAi:. make ends meet, assumes the role of another who Is seeking a divorce. She plays tha part so well that she gains the love of Lola Underwood's husband while at Reno, nurses his sick child and finally Underwood is sent back to his wife, who is in love with Count Louis. Lois tires of the count, however, and plans to elope with an old lover. The count, disguising himself as a chauffeur, drives the elopers and him self to their deaths under a railroad train.

Jr. 4 .THE Wanderer, as expressed Sun- day night at the Hellig, has every thing; to make it a theatrical perform ance of the first magnitude. - What story is there of more gripping. deeper human. Interest than that of the prodigal son, as told in the Bible? The prodigal son of the Bible is "the wanderer" of the play. Leading theatri cal producers of the day have outdone themselves in the scenic presentation of the story. The effects are massive and magnificent. The producers have sent the attraction forth with a company of actors of great repute, augmented by a ballet of unusual grace and costume. The effect In whole then the play, the players and the mechanical stagecraft leave nothing to be desired in the way of spectacular extravaganza, making of The Wanderer" a stage production and a theatrical picture worthy of the un usually large expenditures incurred in its preparation- and routing over the circuit far from Broadway. The work of Miss Nance O'Neill, wife of Jesse (James O'Neill) and mother of Jether (The Wanderer"), stands out as especially well executed, her scenes with the wayward son, particularly upon his return after the city has cast him out. naked and sore, begin convincing to the point of tears. Mr. O'Neill like wise offers a strong characterisation as the father, and no more satisfactory portrayal of the prodigal could be asked than that given by Frederick Lewis. Ranking in high place, also, as an actor is Charles Daiton, as Gaal, elder brother of 'Jether, and the Naomi of Miss Olga Newton is all yiat could be desired. Out of the ordinary, we should say, is the work of Miss Jean Robertson as Tlsha, the sensuous little blood-sucking siren of the Babylonians. In character, makeup, personality and action Miss Robertson is fascinating. Excellent, too, is the work of Miss Florence Auer, as Nadtna, mother of Tlsha. and of Lionel Braham, as Pbarls personlfica tion of the piratical sea captain. These are the leading players, ably supported by those of lesser parts and by the ballet of wonderfully colored cos tumes and sensuous grace. Sunday night s audience, struck with the simple grandeur and beauty of the opening scene, greeted the rise of the curtain with prolonged applause. Act two, a scene In the palace of Nadlna. is a dazzling, eye-bewitching example of the play producer's art. The incidental music to The Wan derer" Is In itself a feature, adding not a little to the beauty and pleasure of this enchanglng spectacle. "The Wanderer" runs through the week with matinees Wednesday and Saturday. BUY W. t. g, Spokane to Have New "Hip" , Theatre Spokane is promised a new theatre building which will be the largest structure of Its kind In the Inland Em pire city. Ackerman and Harris, own ers of the Hippodrome circuit, are ex pected to arrive in Spokane In the near future to make a selection of a site and to decide on the plans for the building. The structure will house offices as well as the theatre. NotHing " Tha Obm has eosM.' the Walrus s T GIVE Impetus to the Buffalo War Savings Stamp drive, Mae Marsh, tha Goldwyn Pictures star, made two personal appearances at Shea's Hippo drome, and as a result of her enthusi astic cooperation the Queen City of the Lakes is $17,629.87 nearer lta quotal of stamp sales.

A patriotic spectacle as a finale is so clever that it is beyond belief. Jimmy Dunn, a mimic, proves the range of power In the human voice by imitating Instruments and beasts in an entertaining way. Dunnes ac complishments are unusual and 'inter esting. "Barbers," presented by a team, serves to inject a delightful bit of comedy into the bill and music is added by the "Dainty Xylophonlsts." Edna May-Foster, vocalist and instru mentalist, and "Brigands of Seville, a quartet in which the soprano and bass are the worthy members. The Brigands, at least the two vocalists mentioned, Dresent popular operatic selections. "Barbers" is an entertainment conspir acy between an Italian barber and his business neighbor, a "lady barber," and their conflab is a long laugh for the audience. In "The Man Hunt." starring Ethel Clayton, the Hippodrome offers a good moving picture feature. It has a very human and highly American touch. Lyric Dillon and Franks and the Lyric Musical Comedy company have a sort of three rine show this week. It is en titled "$100,000" and is composed of first part ladles' minstrel show fol lowed by the musical comedy and the weather frothy entertainment and there seems to be more than the average number of songs and chorus hits. Press agents have been known to do some weird things and It Is about one of these stunts that the plot of "J100.000" Is written. He makes think that his star has just fallen heir to this neat sum and that it is going to he handed to her on the stage that night unless a certain mysterious long lost heir should appear In the meantime. This Is his alibi the long lost heir and in all seriousness these two worthies, Mike and Ike, plan to make the heir, prove It and grab the coin. Anyway they have a large time proving their claims.

In his latest- Bluebird photoplay, "The Eagle," which is the current film attraction at the Strand theatre. Salisbury Is not an Indian not even a halfbreed. He's a road agent, a decent sort of chap who usurps the law's job. declares little vendetta of his own. and takea to "highwaying" to extract financial toll from the man who had destroyed his home and brought his mother to her grave. There s action galore in this rum, a number of thrills, a pretty little ro mance, and some magnificent scenery. The thrills include stage holdups, a gun fight, and a "hanging bee," which Is not staged according to schedule. "The Eagle" takes his tiUe from the headgear ef eagle feathers worn by the nignwayman. ie s unnormiy success ful in his drives against his wealthy enemy until the weakling brother of his sweetheart decides to emulate tha Eagle. He gets caught, kills a man. and. In order to save him, the real Eagle gives himself up to the law. A suicide confession cheats the gallows just the noose Is tightening.

GERMAN warfare In all Its hideous Features Is shown in the realistic plcturUation of Ambassador James W, Gerard's book entitled "My Four Years In Germany," now playing at the Lib erty, theatre. The story of the life of the American ambassador at Berlin during the stirring events that preceded the entry of the United States into the war against the German empire, fur nishes a succession of thrills. Intimate scenes from the life of the kaiser and his official family expose the ambition of German junkerdora. The blundering arrogance of the house of Hohensollern in its plans to rule the world; the brutality fit Prussian mili tarists in their treatment of the civilian population of Germany ; the secret schemes of German diplomats that brought upon the world lta greatest hor ror, all are graphically and forcefully brought home to the American people by the film version of Ambassador Gerard's book. The Inhuman treatment of British and Russian prisoners of war is shown as Oerard aaw It. The burning of cities ; the raping of women ; the murder of old men and children; the crucifixion of priests; all the horrors that have brought the hatred of civilisation upon the kaiser, are ahown as witnessed by Americans. Sunday's audience went wild with en thusiasm when pictures were shown of the marching millions of American and allied armies and the splendid efficiency of the United States and British navies. No other film production shown in Port land has so stirred the hearts or a Portland audience. The cast is a strong one. Herbert Brown appears as Ambassador Gerard ; Louis Dean as the kaiser ; Earle Schenck is the crown prince; Percy Stabdlng is DANCING taught by professional instructors at De Honey's beautiful academy, ltd and Washington.
