Brought to the Screen in All Its Force by George Randolph Chester
One of the strongest plays ever staged, it makes an even better screen
drama with exquisite Alice Joyce playing the role of Annie Sands,.the little
waitress bride who crushes the power of millions and police inquisition to
save her husband from a murderer's death. Marked for ruin for marrying
college youth, she wins his freedom by revealing former affair of aristo-
cratic mother-in-law with dead man. Then seeks to bear shame of it all
to spare family of dead man.

local Weather Bureau. The general
' weather conditions point to an early
I clearing up of the skies, but for the next
two weeks showers and hot, sultry days
[ may be expected. The lust five Sundays
1 he skies have looked threatening and
there have been showers in practically
♦ very section of the State. San Antonio
receiving a share on each of the o< casions.
Sunday was the initial day of the sum-
mer season, and the maximum temperature
registered during the day was ss degrees,
which had risen from the minimum heat
of 71 degrees. A totnl of .01 inch of rain
fell in the afternoon, followed by winds
varying in velocity of from four to nine
miles an hour.
"The weather lias fallen into what is
termed a 'rut,' that is, there has hardly
been a change in the weather condition^
of Southwest Texas the last three weeks."
said Major Buell. "hut it is probable the
present low barometric pressure centered
here will be followed by a 'high* of con
siderable duration.
"The rains that have visited Texas at
intervals during the last two months are
making up the deficiency in precipita-
tion of last year, and have greatly aide.I
the agricultural products both in Texas
and Oklahoma." Major I>uel 1 said.
"I just returned to San Antonio from
an extensive tour of the North and Hast.
The condition of crops i- above the ex
peeled all over the country, but Texas
and Oklahoma are far beyond expectations
and no comparison should be made be
tvveeu the crop conditions now and wha
they were this time last year."
ENTERTAINING BILL AT
ROYAL OPENS SUNDAY
Noodles Fagan Manufactures His
Own Songs as He (>'oes
Along'.
If it was uncomfortably warm yesterday,
those persons who attended the Koyal were
not aware of it, so interesting and en
tertaining' is the I'antage's vaudeville road
show which is playing at the house this
week. The photoplay program is not to
be slighted, either, for Anita Stewart has
never appeared to a better advantage than
she does in "A Midnight. Romance." A
story ot mystery and love, with moonlight
and sea beaches for color, no picture could
be more timely than Miss Stewart's latest.
Noodles Fagan is the candy on the vaude-
ville bill. He comes, sees and conquers.
One would he apt to call him a plain
nut without thinking, but he really is an
extraordinary nut. Noodles is singing songs
of his own composition this year; that is,
he makes them up as he goes along. He
does this about as well as he floes every-
thing else, which is saying a great deal.
Yesterday afternoon lie manufactured a
lot of comedy by having the orchestra play
different kinds of marches as late-comers
took their seats. Naturally he secured a
rise when a bridal march was played when
a young couple walked down the aisle.
Noodles is touchingly funny. 11 is little
daughter, Elsie, is rapidly rounding into
a child entertainer who can hold her own
as a "single." She does a variety and
dances and sings in a more than pleasing ;
man tier.
The kiddies will delight in Durkin's Eu
ropean Novelty, which introduces a num-
ber of carefully trained canines in a dog
pantomime, which is genuinely funny.
"Rusty" is a clever performer: in fact,
he is an artist, if dogs may be termed
artists. His drunk characterization is
every bit as funny as Tommy Van's was
last week, and it rang up about as many
laughs. Both grownups and the younger ;
generation will appreciate this classic of '
dog and monkeydom. Tom McKay's Scotch
Ilevue introduces six lassies and a man. 1
They sing the well known Scotch songs,
dance the intricate sword dance and pro- !
duee some truly excellent music on bag- 1
pipes and drums. Lowe and the Baker Sis |
tors offer a song, dance and piano aer [
that is different than #he unsual run of 1
such acts. One of the girls is of a co j
((uettish nature and flirts her way through '
the turn in a pleasing manner. Zara Car- j
men Trio open the show with some un- j
usual hoop rolling.

AI.SO A FINNY COMEDY
WIN MPEG QUIET AFTER RIOT
BUT SOLDIERS STILL GUARD
By* .\sROt iat«'(l Press.
WlNMl'l'Hi. Manitoba, June Winni-
peg was quiet today after I he rioting of
yesterday afternoon. The Hty no longer
is under martial law, hut federal soldiers
still are on duty in the business distriet
to aid and support the «■ iv 11 authority, cer-
tain defined areas still are guarded hy the
soldiers.
Mayor Charles !•'. Gray today issued a
statement in which he declared that an
investigation showed the strikers and not
Koyal Northwest Mounted Police fired
the first shots yesterday, lie declared that
the riot followed addresses hv the union
men who had made "inflammatory
speeches."
'PEP" IN PRINCESS BILL
,1
There's plenty of "pep" on this week's
Princess bill. Not only is the vaudeville
portion of the bill of "peppy" nature, but
the screen program keeps up the same
pace. The third episode of "The Masked
Itlder" hurries on with the same break-
neck speed as marked the first, while no
greater and swifter moving story has ever
been penned than Victor Hugo's "Les Mi»
arables." William Farnum rises to new
screen heights in the character of Jean
Yaljean, and Hugo's creation seems more
than a creature of the pen in the emi-
nent actor's hands.
Lee and Doris, two dainty maidens with
a load of vivacity and charm, open th«>
bill with a splendid set Into which they
introduce both music and song. For good
measure they throw in a few dance steps,
clarinet and trombone are the instruments
which this pair select to put over their
jazz creations, and to wiy they score a de-
cided hit is not exaggeration. Christian
Christen sen. the world's most versatile ath-
lete, recommends clean living and then goes
a step farther than the average lay preacher
by demonstrating the results when ap-
plied to his particular self. During his
act motion pictures of his various eccen-
tric races are shown, including hi* last one
held in 8au Antonio.
Ollie Debrow is as funny as ever this
week, lie does an A1 .To I son by selling
popcorn in the audience and then once
more, back on the stage, carries on a flirts
tion with a 'high brown." And. by the
war, the " high brown" is worthy of no-
tice. for her voice reveals that there in one
clever actress capable of reading lines in
telligently, among the group of damsels
whose pulchritude has been their main
charm and claim to distinction in the
pact. Elinor Balfour is the joung lady's
name, a name which does not smack of the
chorus, either. Given adequate parts, Miss
Halfour will continue to climb. Ollie is
also ably assisted by Koy Jones, who also '
stages the reviews, this week's offering be j
ing termed "The Beauty Shop." and lives
up to its name. Jack Wade does a clever •
"buck and wing" dance, which is rather
lost amidst the maze of feminine beauty. *
MOVIE ATTRACTIONS
AT THE EM PI It K.
Vieiousness of the one-time prevalent
police inquisition known as the "third de-
gree," under which, by physh-al and men
tal torture, confessions were wrought from
hapless prisoners regardless of innoceme
or guilt, is most vividly portrayed in "The
Third Degree," Vitagrapli's big produc-
tion starring Alice Joyce, and which will
he seen in the Empire Theater today ami
tomorrow. i
All the tremendous dramatic force of the j
■tai* prod actios «.f tils buson Charles
Klein drama is retained in it« plcturixa-
tion by Yiragraph, under the direction of
Tom Terriss. and make it one of the most
pretentious and forceful screen produc-
tion* ever put out.
Miss Joyce takes every advantage of
the dramatic possibilities in the role of
Annie Sands, waitress, who crushed the
power of her millionaire father in law
and of the police system to fr«*e her «-al-
lege husband, doomed to murderer's death
for a crime of which he was innocent,
but accused iu malice for inarrving the
I girl.

ENGLISH TROOPS MUTINY;
'400 MEN ARE ARRESTED
By Associated l'ress.
LONDON. June 22. The mutinous con-
dint of troops at Sutton Camp, Surrey,
which has been growing for the past ten
days, culminated toda\ in the formation
•f a committee by the men and their
refusal to salute or to obey orders. This
morning two battalions of troops were
sent to the camp in light fighting trim
and with a machine gun.
The troops arrested 400 men. among
them the ringleaders, and dispatched 1,800
other men to camps at Dover and Canter-
bury. The main grievance of the men was
that they were being ordered to France.
