OIRCCTORy OF THEATRES

"THE STOLEN TREATY." One evening the girl said to him : " I'd love an' i adventure —something really dangerous—bat something worth white." She didn't know .that Ke belonged to the Secret Service, < and.. that '* it lay in his power' to embark her on an adventure that would give her excitement enough to last her all her days; But the opportunity came sooner than either of them expected. 'An important treaty was stolen from the Department of State and held by blackmailers, and the task of recovering the stolen paper was assigned to the man. .Of course, he couldn't tell the girl the particulars, for business of State is not a matter to be lightly told. ; " This is what I want you to do," he said toiler. "It is full of danger—full of. excitement, and risk—but.you must not ask me to explain anything until our work isdone.- Will you hslp me?" - " Yes," said the girl. Then followed a series of adventures, the like of. which even her most daring' fancy could not;have anticipated. ): .And you, r too, may share, in these adventures^'give yourself up to>the lure' of'the'chase for the stolen treaty, and be a party to-a delightful little romance' if you^l follow Earle Williams and' Corinne Griffith, in.this up-to-the-minute Yitagr?ph photodrama. . ,

■" THE IRON CLAW." :. . . -. CHAPTER 18. "THE GREEN-EYED GOD." . The fact that the " Laughing Mask•■" appeared in the same room with. Davy leads the detectives to believe that he is possessed, of some hypnotic power, which he exercises over people.. .They imagine that, his appearance in the room with Davy, was due to this force. Later/a detective reports that the "Mask" appeared in time the night before to prevent Legar from robbing a house in the neighbourhood.' He' adds that the "Mask" was seen'to embrace the girl of the house. ■ This increases Margery's hatred of the " Ma'skj'Uand: she .readily allows her name to be used in apprehending him. Later Margery- herself sees the " Mask " embrace the girl,' and she is beside herself ■ with rage. 'A decoy note intended to lure the'" Mask " to Wharton's quarry is planted, but it falls into the hands of Legar, who goes to the place designated. The quarry is mined, and the," Claw " blows up the place.. But. the " Mask " warns the party of the danger, and they flee. The wrong-righter is captured, but through Margery's aid makes his escape. : (Timaru Herald, 17th October, 1917.) It is stated- that at a recent sitting of a certain Military Appeal Board an appellant, when asked to state his case for an extension of time, gave as his chief reason that he wished to witness the final chapters of the record-breaking picture serial, " The Iron Claw," before going into. camp.
