' MONDAY. Fiction has given us a character that never fails to interest us, although

our better nature knows that his calling Is " one not " to be desired. "- This character is none, other than the polished, suave, gentlemanly gambler, who fleeces his innocent victims in such a finished manner that our smypathies are almost wholly with him

instead cf with his gullible prey. Such a gambler is the protaganist in the modern drama, "The Fifth Ace," in which Alice Lake appears at the Theatorium Monday. - WEDNESDAY. - A new novel in western drama is sounded in the treatment given a sympathetic love story in the special feature, "The Ranger of Lonesome Gulch" shown at the Theatorium Wednesday. This delightful play, in which Thomas Chatterton, Anna Little and Jack Richardson are in the leading roles, is found an original and novel treat-

The bitter conflict between the north and south to preserve the union has been preserved in fiction and drama, but the manner in which the tale "Suppressed Orders," appearing at the Theatorium Monday, will hold the closest attention and arouse the swee.test memories which have slept since the Civil war.

raand was made that Ambassador Dwmba be recalled and this was done. Certain of the papers now in posess-

Up to the present there has been a difference of opinion between th secretary of state and the attorney general over the demand of toe German ambassador that all of the documents seized be turned back to the embassy as official documents and thus not subject to seizure. Secretary Lansing - ordered that the papers .'be turned back. - The department of justice asked whether this applied to . all papers. ' The state department said no, only to official papers. Then the department ' of justice asked , the state ''department to have the German embassy indicate which actually were the official papers.

Angel," i-the .new Triumph-Equitable

feature, starring Miss Jane Crey, to be presented at the Arcade Sunday. In this picture 'iE.toJd , 'a powerfully appealing story" of 'a girl who' befriends a man of evil nature, only to be betrayed and tricked arid to face the loss of her future happiness through his ingratitude. The role affords Miss Grey every opportunity to display the dramatic gifts that have made her a dominating figure among the younger actresses on the stage and screen, and in her support in the central male role, appears that noted character actor, Henri - Bergman. Another 'player of national prominence in the cast is Edwin , MacKay,. for years one of the most popular among the leading juvenfles of the stage. -The cast also ;includes such - favorite film players as Willard Deshielle, Bobert Lee Hill and Mayme Kelso. Director Burton King produced the picture,' which is a fine example 'of a new and higher art of motion picture photography. ,

TOMORROW. "Produced by William C. Dowlan" is beginning to mean a great deal to patrons of the Universal, for some of the cleverest things that have appeared on the program lately have been under the direction of the young Irish-

American, who had his big chance at the helm in "The College Orphan," with . the De Havens. - Mr. Dowlan's

I experfence in pictures was prefaced

by a Jong career on the stage, during which' he i played leads and acted as stage director in eqmefof the bestknown, stock compajiiea''4n our, country, as well as starring with Wis own company on tour. He says himself, however, he likes pictures "by far the
