Anita Stewart nils with great lorce and express.veness the double role of Berta JNordsirom, the heartless adventuress known as ■me Veliow '.typhoon, and her twin sister Hilda .Nordstrom, a very dliferent character, who finds fier way into the United States uivil service. Jberta begins Dy doping with Robert Hallowell, but she soon tires ol him when she has wasted all his money, and deserts him for another admirer, who owns a notorious gambling establishment, in an Unentai city. With this man, who is intriguing with a foreign* Fewer against tne united States, she goes to Manila and becomes involved in a scheme to steal from Hallowell, now a naval officer, valuable secret plans. At this point her twin sister, Hilda, comes on the scene as a secret service agent, and to her tails the task of outwitt.ng and unmasking the notorious Berta. The struggle between the two is a prolonged and dramatic one. and first Hallowell is murdered and later Berta and her lover are killed by the New York police before the way is paved for a happy ■ curtain.” The historic picture of the scones in Loudon at the burial of the unknown warrior in the Abbey is still being shown, and is arousing great interest.
