The marquis demands a kiss. She flee from one ardent face to another eckin(T a friend. With passionate mischief, the merry maker pursue her. when the Chevalier fie Vaudrcy, Ruest at the party, approaches. "Is there no gentleman here to protect me?" cries Hrnriette. "U are all ccntlenicn. they lanehcd. , , , "Then is there no man of lionor. she implores. . "May I offer you the services of my honor and "my sword?" tin chevalier answers, won by the pity of her distraction. The marquis forbids anyone leav ing the garden. The chevalier in sists. A iet follows. -The marquis is injured. The chevalier with Ilen rictte' flees to safety. . Hut llenriette cannot find Louise. After establishing her in a room, the chevalier goes to the home of bis relatives, the Count and Coun tess de Limieres. The count has news from the king that the chevalier is to wed a girl whom the king has selected. The chevalier refuses and tells of bis love for Ifcnriette. The count insists to the development of a quarrel. A few days later the cheva lier asks the countess to visit Hen riette. Then llenriette tolls her that Louis' is not a real sister, but an orphan v'found in front of Notre Dame as infant abandoned and brought to tfSGiard home. The countesKrecognizcs the cir cumstances as identifying her lost daughter, bqrn from an early mar riage with a commoner. Her father had killed the husband and sent the baby away to free his daughter from such an alliance, shameful because the husband was not a nobleman. As they talk, singing from the street below reminds llenriette of Louise's voice. Then she rushes to the balcony sees the dirty beggar girl, fails to recognize Louise, bears the voice again, then calls, "Louise." Louise answers: "Henriette, come, come, llenriette!" As llenriette dashes to the stair way to go to her sister, the door to her room opens to admit a squad of soldiers tinder the command of the Count de Linicres. He orders Henriette's arrest. Being prefect of police of Paris, be has such author ity. The countess cannot intercede, for she refuses to reveal the early secret to her, great husband. Henriette goes -to prison. She is ordered deported to America. Louise returns to the cellar with the debauched Frochards. The contempt of the noble for the commoner lias created a tyranny, that is beyond tolerance. Rebellion 'occurs in Taris. The prison is stormed and Henriette is freed with the others. . The Chevalier remains devoted in bis love. Two men, Danton and Robespierre, control Taris. Henri ette knows Danton. but not by name. He ha sympathized with her in the loss of her sister when he hears it from others on the street. One night, when assassins pursue l.itrt, he flees for protection to the nearest bouse, which is the one in which Henriette lives. She takes him to her room, and nurses him through the night. When Danton leaves the following morning, Robe spierre sees him. Robespierre has often told Danton: "Women will be oiir downfall." ... The Chevalier, banished from Paris by the radicals returns in dis puise and visits Henriette to see that she is safe. He is recognized, 101 lowed, and captured in Henriette's room. ' ' . With Robespierre's assent he is sentenced to the guillotine. And with him is sentenced Henriette as being his intimate friend. Danton, entering tlie room where stand the doomed, sees Henriette. She points out the Chevalier to him, and Danton recognizes him as one v ho had fed the poor months before. He remembers Henriette and how she had saved him. Danton's des perate efforts to spare them is the finale of the last act. Lee Moran and Dempsey. "Get Up" is to be the title of Lee Moran's next comedy. It is a "society prizefight picture," and m order that a realistic prizefight might be staged for the film, Jack Demp sey was called in on consultation.

Back of the scenes there are touches of human interest that really make the whole world akin. One of the most remarkable families in vaudeville or on the stage today is that of Eddie Foy at the Orpheum theater this week. Six of his seven children are with him now on this tour, , While Eddie Foy was conversing with a friend in an Orpheum theater recently Irving Foy, the youngest of the half dozen, came over and said: "Pop." Foy ran his hand in his pocket and replied: Don't go too strong, I have to pay income tax this week." Irving said nothing, but! held up two fingers. Mr. Foy caught him by the wrist, carefully folded down one finger, and with his free hand reached in bis pocket and handed the bov a silver dollar. The Foy children are remarkable in many ways. They are attending college even before their high school days are over. Every one has something to do to promote the general interest of the Foy act. Mary, one of the girls, has her bit to do in looking after the costumes, and Madeline, the other girl, has her little assignment in which she serves herself and the balance of the family. One of the boys has made a study of baggage movement, and he looks after loading the baggage when leav ing town and unloading it when ar riving. Another looks after provid ing quarters for the family when it gets to town. Another is responsi ble for handling the laundry every week, and if he loses a piece of . . .. . f it. . clothing tie nas to settle out 01 ine salary be is paid for that work. Traveling with them is a gover ness who watches over the children as a mother and she helps them in their schooling. She is in charge when Mr. Foy is away, but she has little to do in giving orders. Mary and Madeline are the ones who give the orders. If either of the girls tells one of the boys to do a thing, he obevs tha order, because "Sister is the Boss Tallest Woman in Movies. She is Blanche Payson, six feet, four, and she plays in support of Baby Feggy, the 3-year-old comedy star, who is the smallest on the screen. Baby Feggy, who is at the head of her own company of grown ups, will get a lot of laughs when contrasted with the robust Blanche, who was chief of police women at the San Francisco fair. Mis Pay son is an actress. She received much of her training in vaudeville. clear, ruts a glass bottle In two, and does many other remarkable feats. "A ltacy Conversation" Is the ottering of Lynn and Smythe. Hndeo and Marconi, In their musical comedy act. offer a sur prise. Their musical gifts are turned Into fun-making of a novel type. Hector and his pal will contribute one of tho most Interesting acta of the show.

Noted Dog Heeds French Commands in Curuood Film A dog which cannot understand English and answers to the French language only was used in making important sequences in "Flower of the North," the production based on the famous novel by James Oliv er Curwood, which will be shown at the Moon theater today until Wednesday. For that reason Henry B. Walt hall and Pauline Starke, and other members of the company bsushed up on their linguistic abilities and com menced to speak French while on location. In fact through the great er part of the time French was the language used by the entire com pany. The dog, a beautiful Belgian shep herd, was secured from a United States aviator while in France. In tricks and cleverness this dog is all that the most exacting director rnnlrl wish fnr Rut the animal rould not understand a word of English, and when it was necessary for one ot tne mcmDers m tne piay to speaK tn it her mi'npr fnlrl th non-French speaking party how to pronounce tne pnrase, ana presto, iviane, ncr rrpat pves tipamint? with intelli gence, jumped and hurried to the response.

Fred Lindsay has crowded into his life enough adventure and thrills to do a dozen ordinary men. He is a diffident, reserved man, but once stirred to conversation he will recite the most interesting; experience he has had in different parts of the world, fascinating tales about men and animals and places. One of his warm personal friends was the late Theodore Roosevelt. Mr. Lindsay's sister is a prominent literary light in England, Winifred James, by name, author of several widely read novels He prefers, when he is not hunting or ranching or soldiering to gather a few kindred spirits around him. or a dog or a horse, or, best of all, a gathering of Boy Scouts to whom he will tell stories of outdoor life in Aus tralia, of the pastimes and pursuits of the Australian bushman, a phase of livc known to few men as it is to Mr. Lindsay. America's youngest motion picture producer is making a tour of the studios of California. He is Jesus Enriques Topete, age 2.1, and he has been making films in Mexico City for several years. Topete is now producing a scries of pictures for the Mexican government. The American movie plants are proving a revelation to him.
